Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Though the University of Michigan aspires to cultivate a climate that is welcoming to the members of its diverse student, faculty, and staff bodies, we know that the lived experiences of many in our communities don't always align with these aspirations. Join the CRLT Players for Cuts: Responding to Student Climate Concerns, a two-session series, that invites participants to think together about the many forces that can shape campus climate both positively and negatively. Built around a series of vignettes that explore students' experiences of marginalization, each session offers a space where participants can practice engaging in difficult conversations about and across differences in identity while also reflecting on their personal responsibilities to cultivating inclusive and equitable spaces within and outside of the classroom.

In the first session, participants will:

- Analyze a series of bias incidents from the perspective of a targeted student

- Reflect on their own experiences of marginalizing behavior-- as target, aggressor, or bystander

- Explore strategies for intervening effectively when they observe marginalizing behavior and for responding productively when a concern about their own behavior is raised

Accounting for violence: How to increase safety and break our failed reliance on mass incarceration (October 12, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/45300 45300-10152981@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 12, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

Free and open to the public. Reception to follow.

About the event:

Over 50% of people in state prisons have been convicted of violent crimes, and in recent decades the rate at which people are being incarcerated for violent crimes has been increasing even as actual crime rates have been falling. Clearly any robust solution to the problem of mass incarceration in the United States must include a better way to handle violent offenses.

Danielle Sered will speak about her experience directing Common Justice, a program of the Vera Institute of Justice that develops and advances solutions to violence that transform the lives of those harmed and foster racial equity without relying on incarceration. It is the first alternative-to-incarceration and victim-service program in the United States that focuses on violent felonies in adult courts. The evidence shows that both violence and mass incarceration can be reduced at the same time.

Under Danielle Sered’s leadership Common Justice received the Award for Innovation in Victim Services from Attorney General Holder and the federal Office for Victims of Crime in 2012. Before planning the launch of Common
Justice, Danielle served as the deputy director of Vera’s Adolescent Reentry Initiative, a program for young men returning from incarceration on Rikers Island. Prior to joining Vera, she worked at the Center for Court Innovation's
Harlem Community Justice Center, where she led its programs for court-involved and recently incarcerated youth. Danielle teaches about restorative justice at CUNY and was a Rhodes Scholar.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Though the University of Michigan aspires to cultivate a climate that is welcoming to the members of its diverse student, faculty, and staff bodies, we know that the lived experiences of many in our communities don't always align with these aspirations. Join the CRLT Players for Cuts:Responding to Student Climate Concerns, a two-session series, that invites participants to think together about the many forces that can shape campus climate both positively and negatively. Built around a series of vignettes that explore students' experiences of marginalization, each session offers a space where participants can practice engaging in difficult conversations about and across differences in identity while also reflecting on their personal responsibilities to cultivating inclusive and equitable spaces within and outside of the classroom.

In the second session, participants will:

- Consider the impacts of an 'isolated' bias incident on a targeted student

- Reflect on the ways they listen to others' stories about negative experiences of climate at U-M

- Develop strategies for responding to concerns shared with them in ways that might mitigate rather than exacerbate existing climate concerns

Graduate school can be daunting. It’s often an extended exercise in not being told about the things you’d better know. The path to success is seldom smooth nor clear, populated by busy people and opaque processes. Alas, here is a forum for graduate students to hear from their senior colleagues about challenges in their academic journeys and how they overcame them. We asked an interdisciplinary group of these busy people to devote two hours of their time to answering your questions. Join us to gain insight from their hindsight!

Edible fare and refreshments to be served!

FinTech Risks and Opportunities: An Interdisciplinary Approach (November 16, 2017 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/46646 46646-10569822@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 16, 2017 8:30am
Location: Hutchins Hall
Organized By: University of Michigan Law School

This two-day event will bring together a wide range of researchers, policymakers, students, and
practitioners from various disciplines.

Financial technology, or FinTech, can be traced back to the introduction of the telegraph in the 1860s. Between then and the 1980s, most FinTech advancements were record-keeping and data systems found in the back offices of financial institutions, out of sight of the public. As internet technology became more available, however, FinTech evolved rapidly. Financial firms digitized their processes, and companies began introducing consumer-facing products such as online banking and PayPal.

Today, FinTech continues to disrupt and to evolve, not only in how financial products and services are delivered, but who delivers them. Regulators and market participants face challenges in
understanding and balancing the benefits of FinTech against potential risks. Innovation helps catalyze growth and new opportunities while generating new risks. Regulatory structures in place could fail to accommodate changes in the financial marketplace. Regulators may overreact to new technologies, stifling innovation and locking in old forms of doing business. At the same time, regulatory complacency can have disastrous results, permitting the buildup of systemic risk or widespread consumer harms.

This conference will explore methodologies that the private sector, researchers, and policymakers
can use harness the upside potential of financial innovation while reducing the downside risks.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Linguistics PhD student Rachel Elizabeth Weissler is hosting an information session for undergraduates interested in applying to graduate school! Before attending U-M, Rachel was a part of the Institute for Recruitment of Teachers (IRT). IRT is a program that helped her apply to graduate school by covering the cost of applying and providing GRE prep.

What is IRT?
The IRT addresses the lack of diversity in the nation's teaching faculties by recruiting outstanding students of color and other scholars committed to diversity, counseling them through the graduate school application process, and advocating for sufficient funding for advanced study. Since 1990, the IRT has built a national consortium of colleges and universities that are eager to enroll IRT students to diversify their graduate student bodies and to expand the pipeline of educators to teach, counsel, and administrate in American schools, colleges, and universities.

From early September through mid-November, all IRT participants receive the following support throughout the graduate school application process at no charge, which include:
1. Individualized support and extensive counseling as fellows choose graduate programs and apply to a renowned consortium of graduate schools across the country
2. Application fee waivers for up to 12 consortium schools
3. Assistance in fine-tuning statements of purpose, resumes, and writing samples

Additionally, the IRT sponsors a Summer Workshop, a paid internship on the Phillips Academy campus, located just outside of Boston, MA. Participants engage in a graduate-level curriculum of critical, cultural, and educational theory during an intense four-week program; students and faculty work together nine hours each day, seven days a week.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

The goal of the Mentoring Plan Workshop is to enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and research faculty mentor/advisor. During this workshop, students and faculty will have the opportunity to develop a mentoring plan. A mentoring plan is a two-way agreement about goals, needs, and expectations; it is co-written by the student and research faculty mentor/advisor. It is an excellent way to establish and support mentor-mentee relationships.

Because this program is aimed to enhance the mentoring relationship, mentors and students are expected to attend the workshop together. (Please note: If a faculty mentor has previously attended, he/she may opt to only attend the mentor-student team meeting time to develop the mentoring plan.)

Pre-registration is required of both the student and faculty mentor at https://goo.gl/forms/Tl3wUziXy7IexAy82).

Reading Group on Joseph North's Literary Criticism: A Concise Political History (December 7, 2017 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46953 46953-10703026@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 7, 2017 1:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

Join us for a discussion on a selection from Joseph North's Literary Criticism: A Concise Political History. We will be reading a portion of the book selected by Evan Radeen, a PhD student in English Language and Literature, who will also be leading the group discussion. He describes the work below:

This section comes from the fourth chapter of Joseph North’s 2017 book. The book traces the development of academic literary criticism in the Anglo-American world, offering a bold, polemical account of its forgotten origins and historical advances. The fourth chapter builds on this account, taking stock of new critical paradigms in order chart the possibilities for the future of the discipline; in the second section, “Intimations,” North turns the discussion toward the work of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, D.A. Miller, and Lauren Berlant.

To RSVP and receive an electronic copy of the reading, please contact Rachel Cawkwell (rcawkwe@umich.edu) or Kyle McCormick (krmcc@umich.edu).

Traditional and Non-Traditional Inputs to the Vestibular System (January 4, 2018 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/48083 48083-11178040@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 4, 2018 1:30pm
Location: Medical Science Unit II
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

One of the primary functions of the vestibular system is to provide stabilizing reflexes to the eye, head, and body. These reflexes are often coordinated with inputs from the visual and proprioceptive systems. More recently, research has shown that other, non-traditional, stimuli also effect the vestibular system, though the scope of this research has been limited. This thesis explores the effect of both traditional and non-traditional inputs on the vestibular system by characterizing their influence compensatory eye, head, and body movements.

We begin by looking at the influence of the vestibular periphery and efference copy of motor commands on compensatory eye movements (Chapter 2). While each of these has been described individually (as the vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR) and pre-programmed eye movements (PPEM) respectively), there has been controversy in the field as to how these two inputs interact with each other. We propose a model of gaze stability in which VOR and PPEM work cooperatively, and we test model predictions against data we collected as well as from previous findings. We found that our model accurately predicted eye movements during a variety of behavioral contexts. In Chapter 3, we describe the effect of single high-intensity noise exposure on the vestibular system by evaluating eye and head stability. We found that after noise exposure ocular stability showed marginal loss, while head stability showed greater deficits. However, the exact nature of this deficit was not as expected and the influence of cervical pathways after vestibular lesion is discussed. Finally, in Chapter 4, we examine the effect of galvanic vestibular stimulation and optokinetic stimulation on standing posture. We propose a model of postural stability inspired by the velocity storage model of ocular stability and test model predictions against body movements elicited from standing subjects. We found that, while simple, our model could correctly predict the nature of subjects’ responses to both stimuli, suggesting that the body interprets and uses sensory information for postural stability in a manner similar to that for ocular stability.

Taken together these findings demonstrate that the influence of non-traditional inputs and pathways to vestibular system is substantial and should be considered both in laboratory and clinical settings. We also show that the vestibular system allows researchers and clinicians to leverage methods and findings from across disciplines and species. Models traditionally used to describe gaze stability in primates can be used to predict eye movements in rodents as well as postural responses in humans and paradigms used in hearing research can be used to interpret noise-induced vestibular loss. Thus, the multifaceted nature of the vestibular system both requires, and allows for, multifaceted exploration.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Lecture- Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America (January 15, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/47119 47119-10799202@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 15, 2018 4:00pm
Location: South Hall
Organized By: University of Michigan Law School

Please join Michigan Law as we commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a lecture by Professor James Forman of Yale Law School. Professor Forman will discuss his new book, Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America, which explores how decisions made by black leaders, often with the best of intentions, contributed to disproportionately incarcerating black and brown people.

This lecture is free and open to the public.

James Forman Jr. is one of the nation’s leading authorities on race, education, and the criminal justice system, and a tireless advocate for young people who others have written off. Professor Forman attended Yale Law School, and after he graduated, worked as a law clerk for Judge William Norris of the 9 th Circuit Court of Appeals and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor of the U.S. Supreme Court. After clerking, he took a job at the Public Defender Service in Washington, D.C., where for six years he represented juveniles and adults in felony and misdemeanor cases.

Professor Forman loved being a public defender, but he quickly became frustrated with the lack of education and job training opportunities for his clients. So in 1997, along with David Domenici, he started the Maya Angelou Public Charter School, an alternative school for dropouts and youth who had previously been arrested. The Maya Angelou school has been open for almost twenty years, and in that time has helped hundreds of vulnerable young people find a second chance, begin to believe in themselves, graduate, get jobs, and attend college.

At Yale Law School, where has taught since 2011, Professor Forman teaches Constitutional Law and a course called Race, Class, and Punishment. Last year he took his teaching behind prison walls, offering a seminar called Inside-Out Prison Exchange: Issues in Criminal Justice, which brought together, in the same classroom, 10 Yale Law students and 10 men incarcerated in a CT prison.

Organized By: Graduate Rackham International

In 1922, philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein declared that “the limits of my language mean the limits of my world." With the globally-connected community at the University of Michigan in mind, we invite you to an exploration of the cross-cultural academic expressive production that accompanies thinking and writing from a non-English background. Taking the University of Michigan as a case study, we hope to engage questions of scholarship and public expression incubated in the globalized environment that is the contemporary American university. Rather than focusing on the mechanics of English as a Second Language or as a lingua franca, we seek a discussion around scholarly expression in a multicultural, globalized academia. How does an American academic culture of expression interact with the increasingly international body of authors on campus? And, what does it mean to think and write from a non-normative background? Please join us for a scholarly conversation on multilingualism and the pleasures and difficulties of translation.

Speakers:
Pär Cassel (History & International Relations)
Gottfried Hagen (Near Eastern Studies)
Se-Mi Oh (Asian Languages & Cultures)
Benjamin Paloff (Comparative & Slavic Literature)
Will Thomson (Anthropology & Architecture)

This graduate student-driven initiative invites a panel of unique voices to partake in a discussion about how advocacy shows up across disciplines. For some, advocating for marginalized groups means taking part in protests or raising awareness for a cause. For others, advocacy is their work. For all, advocacy requires patience and perseverance.

Invited Panelists:

Steph White: Steph White is the Executive Director for Equality Michigan and Equality Michigan Action Network. Her career spans over two decades of leading collective action from US Army Commander to Political Director for the Michigan Democratic Party and the Schauer for Governor Campaign. She then spent six years in Washington DC working on federal policy issues, including serving as the Managing Director for the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE).

Nicole Ver Kuilen: Formerly the Assistant Director of Annual Giving & Alumni Relations at the School for Environment and Sustainability here at the University of Michigan, Nicole is the founder of the Forrest Stump organization. Nicole works to raise awareness about the barriers that limit access to prosthetic technology and advocates for legislative changes affecting health care coverage of activity-specific prosthetic devices.

William Hung: Some might remember William from season three of American Idol, but few know about the controversy surrounding his fame, as both he and his fans were accused of promoting and endorsing racial stereotypes against Asians. William Hung is now a motivational speaker, working to encourage and inspire others to pursue their dreams despite criticism.

This program is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Museum of Art.

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" Art Exhibition (February 7, 2018 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/47419 47419-10898815@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 7, 2018 6:00pm
Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" celebrates the remarkable life, vision, and heroic tenacity of a 20th-century pioneer and trailblazer. Once the world’s youngest Ph.D., Ruth Gruber died in November of 2016 at the age of 105. The photographs in this exhibition span more than 50 years, from her groundbreaking reportage of the Soviet Arctic in the 1930s and iconic images of Jewish refugees from the ship Exodus 1947, to her later photographs of Ethiopian Jews in the midst of civil war in the 1980s. A selection of Gruber’s vintage prints, never before exhibited, will be presented alongside contemporary prints made from her original negatives.

The Opening Reception will take place on Wednesday, February 7, 2018, at 6:00pm.

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" is organized by the International Center of Photography and was made possible by Friends of Ruth Gruber. The exhibition is also co-sponsored by the U-M Office of the Provost.

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" Opening Reception & Documentary Screening (February 7, 2018 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/48049 48049-11170228@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 7, 2018 6:00pm
Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" celebrates the remarkable life, vision, and heroic tenacity of a 20th-century pioneer and trailblazer. Once the world’s youngest Ph.D., Ruth Gruber passed away in November of 2016 at the age of 105. The photographs in this exhibition span more than 50 years, from her groundbreaking reportage of the Soviet Arctic in the 1930s and iconic images of Jewish refugees from the ship Exodus 1947, to her later photographs of Ethiopian Jews in the midst of civil war in the 1980s. A selection of Gruber’s vintage prints, never before exhibited, will be presented alongside contemporary prints made from her original negatives.

The opening reception will include remarks about the exhibit, light refreshments, and a screening of the documentary, "Ahead of Time: The Extraordinary Journey of Ruth Gruber."

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" is organized by the International Center of Photography and was made possible by Friends of Ruth Gruber. The exhibition is also co-sponsored by the U-M Office of the Provost.

A More Human Dwelling Place: Reimagining the Racialized Architecture of America (February 16, 2018 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/48424 48424-11233230@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 16, 2018 9:30am
Location: Hutchins Hall
Organized By: University of Michigan Law School

Presented by the Michigan Journal of Race & Law, "A More Human Dwelling Place: Reimagining the Racialized Architecture of America" is a symposium happening on February 16 and 17 at the University of Michigan Law School.

Over two days, we will examine five archetypal spaces in America: homes and neighborhoods, schools, courthouses, prisons, and borders. The symposium endeavors to consider the ways in which these spaces have become increasingly racialized, diagnose how that racialization impedes their basic functioning, and reimagine these spaces at their best, and our world as a more human dwelling place. James Baldwin gave us this name, embedded in his imperative “to illuminate that darkness, blaze roads through vast forests, so that we will not, in all our doing, lose sight of its purpose, which is, after all, to make the world a more human dwelling place.”

The symposium will bring together individuals working to better these spaces, hailing from many disciplines, including law, history, sociology, journalism, literature, architecture, urban planning, and visual art. Together, we hope to conceptualize forgotten or not yet dreamed of alternatives. Through discussions of projects already realized and ideas not yet concrete, we will collectively inch toward the world we wish to inhabit.

The symposium is free and open to the public. All are welcome.

The photographs in this exhibition span more than 50 years, from her groundbreaking reportage of the Soviet Arctic in the 1930s and iconic images of Jewish refugees from the ship Exodus 1947, to her later photographs of Ethiopian Jews in the midst of civil war in the 1980s. A selection of Gruber’s vintage prints, never before exhibited, will be presented alongside contemporary prints made from her original negatives.

The Opening Reception will take place on Wednesday, February 7, 2018, at 6:00pm.

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" is organized by the International Center of Photography and was made possible by Friends of Ruth Gruber. The exhibition is also co-sponsored by the U-M Office of the Provost.

A More Human Dwelling Place: Reimagining the Racialized Architecture of America (February 17, 2018 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/48424 48424-11233231@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 17, 2018 8:00am
Location: Hutchins Hall
Organized By: University of Michigan Law School

Presented by the Michigan Journal of Race & Law, "A More Human Dwelling Place: Reimagining the Racialized Architecture of America" is a symposium happening on February 16 and 17 at the University of Michigan Law School.

Over two days, we will examine five archetypal spaces in America: homes and neighborhoods, schools, courthouses, prisons, and borders. The symposium endeavors to consider the ways in which these spaces have become increasingly racialized, diagnose how that racialization impedes their basic functioning, and reimagine these spaces at their best, and our world as a more human dwelling place. James Baldwin gave us this name, embedded in his imperative “to illuminate that darkness, blaze roads through vast forests, so that we will not, in all our doing, lose sight of its purpose, which is, after all, to make the world a more human dwelling place.”

The symposium will bring together individuals working to better these spaces, hailing from many disciplines, including law, history, sociology, journalism, literature, architecture, urban planning, and visual art. Together, we hope to conceptualize forgotten or not yet dreamed of alternatives. Through discussions of projects already realized and ideas not yet concrete, we will collectively inch toward the world we wish to inhabit.

The symposium is free and open to the public. All are welcome.

Teach Out Series: Free Speech on Campus (February 26, 2018 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/49611 49611-11484690@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 26, 2018 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

Free speech is essential for a healthy, vibrant, and democratic society. Yet, the idea of freedom of speech on university campuses is challenged by the ever-evolving social and political realities of a contemporary democracy. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the role free speech plays on university campuses and how this discourse shapes the broader narrative about free speech protection across the United States. Why is free speech suddenly an issue on university campuses? Is speech or safety at the crux of the issue? How has the definition of free speech evolved between the 20th and 21st centuries and how are universities addressing these changes?

This Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion, to explore how those views play out in politics, culture, higher education, sports, and journalism, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

The University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems, events, and phenomena most important to society.

Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community.

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" celebrates the remarkable life, vision, and heroic tenacity of a 20th-century pioneer and trailblazer. Once the world’s youngest Ph.D., Ruth Gruber died in November of 2016 at the age of 105. The photographs in this exhibition span more than 50 years, from her groundbreaking reportage of the Soviet Arctic in the 1930s and iconic images of Jewish refugees from the ship Exodus 1947, to her later photographs of Ethiopian Jews in the midst of civil war in the 1980s. A selection of Gruber’s vintage prints, never before exhibited, will be presented alongside contemporary prints made from her original negatives.

The Opening Reception will take place on Wednesday, February 7, 2018, at 6:00pm.

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" is organized by the International Center of Photography and was made possible by Friends of Ruth Gruber. The exhibition is also co-sponsored by the U-M Office of the Provost.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Slavic Languages & Literatures

Presented in a dual-language format, A Field of Foundlings is the first in Lost Horse Press's series of Ukrainian poetry in translation. Starovoyt's poetry investigates the curse and virtue of forgetting, the suppressed generational memory of the twentieth century, and the new context of its retelling in Eastern Europe. Drawing on the paradoxes of mythology, technology, and tradition, Starovoyt brings the traces of undesirable history and the minefields of memory into an unexpected constellation to interrogate assertions of knowledge and meaning-making in the world today. In a time where the chaos and power of forces beyond our own seem to diminish the potency of the past, Starovoyt's poems invoke a conscious dialogue with a past that is not severed from the ever-changing present, but echoes in our sense of self, brings some continuity to our daily decisions, and orients us toward the future.

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" celebrates the remarkable life, vision, and heroic tenacity of a 20th-century pioneer and trailblazer. Once the world’s youngest Ph.D., Ruth Gruber died in November of 2016 at the age of 105. The photographs in this exhibition span more than 50 years, from her groundbreaking reportage of the Soviet Arctic in the 1930s and iconic images of Jewish refugees from the ship Exodus 1947, to her later photographs of Ethiopian Jews in the midst of civil war in the 1980s. A selection of Gruber’s vintage prints, never before exhibited, will be presented alongside contemporary prints made from her original negatives.

The Opening Reception will take place on Wednesday, February 7, 2018, at 6:00pm.

"Ruth Gruber, Photojournalist" is organized by the International Center of Photography and was made possible by Friends of Ruth Gruber. The exhibition is also co-sponsored by the U-M Office of the Provost.

Teach Out Series: Free Speech on Campus (March 3, 2018 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/49611 49611-11484695@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 3, 2018 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

Free speech is essential for a healthy, vibrant, and democratic society. Yet, the idea of freedom of speech on university campuses is challenged by the ever-evolving social and political realities of a contemporary democracy. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the role free speech plays on university campuses and how this discourse shapes the broader narrative about free speech protection across the United States. Why is free speech suddenly an issue on university campuses? Is speech or safety at the crux of the issue? How has the definition of free speech evolved between the 20th and 21st centuries and how are universities addressing these changes?

This Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion, to explore how those views play out in politics, culture, higher education, sports, and journalism, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

The University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems, events, and phenomena most important to society.

Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come, join the conversation!
