Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

Come learn about GLACE before the February 21 Application Deadline!

GLACE (Great Lakes Arts, Cultures, and Environments) is a new, interdisciplinary humanities program held in Northern Michigan during the Spring half-term. UM faculty and other instructors teach four interconnected, two-credit courses: two in English, one in Anthropology, and one in American Culture.

The program takes place at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS), a research campus situated on Douglas Lake, amid 10,000 undeveloped acres in Pellston, Michigan. From May 11-June 13, 2020, a small cohort of students will work closely with four faculty exploring such concepts as “place,” “natural history,” and “cultural identity” through an engagement not only with literary and other texts but also, in hands-on ways, with the local landscape and its inhabitants, ecologies, and histories.

Organized By: Museum of Natural History

Great Lakes fisheries are managed intensively to reduce nutrients from fertilizer runoff and to increase game fish populations such as trout and salmon. When you add invasive species such as non-native mussels and the possibility of carp, we have a very fragile system. Join us to discuss the past, present, and possible futures of Lake Michigan fisheries with Bo Bunnell of the U.S.G.S. Great Lakes Science Center and U-M School for Environment and Sustainability, Yu-Chun Kao of MSU's Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability, and Ed Rutherford of the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab.

Science Cafés provide an opportunity for audiences to discuss current research topics with experts in an informal setting. Hors d’oeuvres at 5:30 p.m.; program 6:00-7:30 p.m. Seating is limited—come early.

UM faculty and other instructors teach four interconnected, two-credit courses: two in English, one in Anthropology, and one in American Culture.

The program takes place at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS), a research campus situated on Douglas Lake, amid 10,000 undeveloped acres in Pellston, Michigan. From May 11-June 13, 2020, a small cohort of students will work closely with four faculty exploring such concepts as “place,” “natural history,” and “cultural identity” through an engagement not only with literary and other texts but also, in hands-on ways, with the local landscape and its inhabitants, ecologies, and histories.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

Join us for an evening of poetry and prose dedicated to water in Michigan and beyond.

A part of the semester-long campus-wide conversation about the Great Lakes, the evening will include readings from Great Lakes area writers and Michigan Quarterly Review (MQR) contributors Donovan Hohn, Anna Clark, Keith Taylor, and Margaret Noodin. The event will celebrate MQR's Summer 2011 issue "The Great Lakes: Love Song and Lament," guest edited by poet and retired University of Michigan writing professor Keith Taylor (featuring writing from Margaret Noodin), and introduce the Spring 2020 issue "Not One Without: A Special Issue on Water," guest edited by environmental journalist and author Anna Clark (U-M, 2003).

As we take a semester to consider the global implications, challenges, and transformative opportunities of the Great Lakes, we are making space for the literature of the lakes which helps shape their future.

This event is hosted in conjunction with the Winter 2020 Great Lakes Theme Semester: Lake Effects, the Michigan Quarterly Review, flagship literary journal of the University of Michigan, and the Hopwood Program.

6:00 p.m. - Hors d’oeuvres reception and gallery visit to Survivor: The long journey of lake sturgeon temporary exhibition with live music performed by an ensemble from the U-M School of Music, Theater, and Dance. Museum of Natural History Lower Level
7:00 p.m. - Panel discussion, Room 1060 Biological Sciences Building

Sturgeon are ancient fishes, tracing their lineage back more than 100 million years. In the Great Lakes system, lake sturgeon are not only the largest indigenous freshwater fishes, they are also important players in complex aquatic food webs. Their remarkable past has given way to a tenuous future as overfishing, habitat loss, and pollution threaten their survival. Today, there is hope in efforts to restore lake sturgeon populations and spawning grounds, as well as in public awareness initiatives that share the cultural and ecological significance of this species. Thanks to the leadership of Michigan Native American Tribes and other organizations, lake sturgeon are beginning to make a comeback. Join a panel of experts as we explore the past, present, and future of this extraordinary endemic fish:

Matt Friedman, Director, U-M Museum of Paleontology and Associate Professor, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Karen Alofs, Assistant Professor, U-M School for Environment and Sustainability
Doug Craven, Director, Natural Resources Department, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians

This program and the temporary exhibition, Survivor: The long journey of lake sturgeon, are offered as part of the LSA Great Lakes Theme Semester, https://lsa.umich.edu/greatlakes.

This event honors the memory of Dr. William R. Farrand, who served as director of the U-M Exhibit Museum of Natural History for seven years (July 1993-June 2000), and who enjoyed a long career as a professor at the University of Michigan’s Department of Geological Sciences. Numerous friends, colleagues, and family members contributed to an endowment fund to ensure that this annual honorary lecture will be offered in perpetuity.

*** Update 3/11/20: This event has been postponed. It will be rescheduled at a later date. ***

The French, English, and American literatures of the Great Lakes begin in the sixteenth century. The American continues into the present. Native literatures, in several languages from three major language families, are far older and continue as well. These are true maritime literatures that are too frequently described as Midwestern, but have nothing to do with farming and little to do with cities except as ports.

Lakes literatures are international, multi-cultural, and multi-lingual because the lakes have always been a commercial highway, used for resource extraction and commodity handling by several Native nations and three countries. They were the site of the first métis culture in North America. Their ease of access allowed earlier women writers to experience the frontier without the difficulties and dangers inherent in a trip to the far west, while 19th and 20th century commercial traffic provided work for women in lighthouses and on ships. Their shared border with Canada allowed them to be a vital link in the Underground Railroad, and their maritime traditions of craft skill provided jobs for people of color when remunerative work on shore was closed to them. Lakes literature is a record of lives on the lakes over centuries, tracing war, industrialization, environmental degradation, and recovery.

This lecture is part of the Clements Library's Randolph G. Adams Lecture Series and is co-sponsored by the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, Great Lakes Theme Semester. Victoria Brehm, PhD, is an author and researcher of Great Lakes literary and cultural history. She recently was awarded the Patrick Labadie Award for Historic Preservation from the Association for Great Lakes Maritime History in recognition of her many years of making neglected and unknown texts about the lakes available to readers.

A highlight of the 2020 Great Lakes Theme Semester will be a speaker series surveying key issues confronting the Great Lakes and the peoples who depend upon them. Each session will be structured as a panel of three to four presenters speaking briefly on an aspect of the session’s theme, engaging in dialogue as a panel, and then opening the floor for audience participation. An informal gathering, offering more opportunities for the campus community to interact with the speakers, will follow each session.
