Thresholds: Regulating Risk and Water Contamination in Diné Communities
Teresa Montoya, University of Chicago

Monday, Mar. 7, The Open Talks will be held noon to 1pm, and the Grad Workshops will be held 1 to 3pm. All parts via Zoom.

Abstract:
On July 16, 1979, one of the uranium mill tailings disposal ponds at the United Nuclear Corporation facility near Church Rock, NM failed. The ruptured mill earth dam released approximately 1100 tons of radioactive solid mill waste and 95 million gallons of acidic mine water into the streams and watersheds of nearby Diné (Navajo) communities. This disaster remains the largest singular release of radioactive material in U.S. history. In the spill’s aftermath—decades later and several miles downstream—I have worked alongside Diné grassroots coalitions on the Navajo Nation in their efforts to confront various forms of water contamination from this toxic disaster. Drawing upon ethnographic and archival material, I explore the various regulatory frameworks through which radioactive exposure is legible and by extension, the legal and political avenues that are made possible or denied. Through these activities, I analyze discourses of risk management, regulatory jurisdiction, and chronic exposure by several state agencies and public officials in their response to community concerns of unsafe water. In doing so, I theorize the arbitrary thresholds of toxicity within larger racialized debates over tribal sovereignty, public health disparity, and environmental justice for Diné communities today.

This is a part of the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD) Winter 2022 Series - "Water Ways: New Social Science, Science Studies, and Environmental Approaches to Water"

This is also a part of the class Anthrcul 558 section 002

The New Space Race in Context Panel (March 10, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90655 90655-21672076@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 10, 2022 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

News of the new space race has been abundant on both mainstream news and social media over the last year. While Billionaire Space Race content and “to the moon“ memes have entertained audiences, there’s a deeper context to unpack with regard to the relationship between aerospace technology and social justice issues.

Three interdisciplinary panelists will explore what's motivating these new developments and bring historical context to their present-day political, environmental, and cultural implications. What are the ethics of Space Studies? Will the widening aeronautics industry reproduce the fraught labor issues of Silicon Valley? Beyond the fun of playing out sci-fi fantasies in real time, are we also activating the tropes of colonialism and xenophobia associated with space travel and development narratives?

Panelists:

Timiebi Aganaba-Jeanty, Asst Prof, School for the Future of Innovation in Society and the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law; Founder, Space Governance Lab and Project Lead, Space Advisory at the Interplanetary Initiative, Arizona State University

Frederick Scharmen, Assoc Professor, School of Architecture and Planning, Morgan State University; Author of Space Forces: A Critical History of Life in Outer Space (Verso, 2021)

Danielle R. Wood, Asst Prof of Research in Education, Program in Media Arts & Sciences and Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics; Director: Space Enabled Research Group, MIT Media Lab; Faculty Advisor: African and African Diaspora Studies, MIT

Moderator: Marisa Olson, Executive Director, Digital Studies Institute, University of Michigan

The 6th Annual Robert J. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture on Native American Studies: A Conversation with Robin Kimmerer (March 11, 2022 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90218 90218-21692643@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 11, 2022 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Native American Studies

The Native American Studies program at the University of Michigan invites you to the sixth annual Berkhofer Lecture on Native American Studies to be given virtually by Robin Kimmerer.

Robin Wall Kimmerer is a mother, scientist, decorated professor, and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. She is the author of Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants, which has earned Kimmerer wide acclaim. Her first book, Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses, was awarded the John Burroughs Medal for outstanding nature writing, and her other work has appeared in Orion, Whole Terrain, and numerous scientific journals. She tours widely and has been featured on NPR’s On Being with Krista Tippett and in 2015 addressed the general assembly of the United Nations on the topic of “Healing Our Relationship with Nature.” Kimmerer lives in Syracuse, New York, where she is a SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of Environmental Biology, and the founder and director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment, whose mission is to create programs that draw on the wisdom of both indigenous and scientific knowledge for our shared goals of sustainability. www.robinwallkimmerer.com/

The past five Berkhofer Lectures, featuring Tommy Orange, author of the bestselling New York Times novel There There, were grand affairs, with some 300 people in attendance each year. These audiences consisted of students and faculty from U-M, interested residents of Ann Arbor, Native Americans from the Metro-Detroit area, and with the event now online, audiences worldwide. In asking Robin Kimmerer, a SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of Environmental Biology, and the founder and director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment we seek to shift the focus of the Berkhofer lecture to highlight emerging indigenous literary talent.

The Berkhofer Lecture series (named for a former U-M professor and founder of the field of Native American studies) was established in 2014 by an alumni gift from the Dan and Carmen Brenner family of Seattle, Washington. In close consultation with the Brenners, Native American Studies decided to create a public lecture series featuring prominent, marquee speakers who would draw audiences from different communities (faculty and students, Ann Arbor and Detroit, and Michigan tribal communities as well as writers and readers of all persuasions). Native American students at U-M have consistently expressed their desire to make Native Americans more visible both on campus and off, and we believe that this lecture takes a meaningful step in that direction. Additionally, because of the statewide publicity it generates, we think it is already becoming another recruitment incentive for Native American students. It goes without saying that the speakers we are inviting provide tremendous value to the mission and work of Native American Studies at U-M.

How to Build a Disaster Proof House (March 16, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/93151 93151-21700958@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 16, 2022 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Artist Tracey Snelling’s *How to Build a Disaster Proof House* contemplates the uncertainty, displacement, and disenfranchisement that frames the present day. How do we find a safe place, protected from bad weather and circumstance, in an era of floods, fires,violence, abuse and pandemics?

Snelling finds a route for escape by constructing big and small sculptural worlds, private and public.

Snelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory,” or open studio, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves, and the rooms change, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence.

Snelling’s pop aesthetic incorporates prefab objects, bright colors, light, video, and sound. The work is disarming in its exuberance, reassuring us there is no such thing as a zombie under the bed, while at the same time, making room to process the very real and unsettling world in which we live.

Through workshops guided by Snelling, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home, safety, and dreams.

The experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.

The mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging, or where we come from, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations.

Snelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination.

In her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities, racial biases, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people.

“The ongoing lack of affordable health care, systematic racism, class division, economic downturn, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…," states Snelling. "By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”

-Amanda Krugliak Arts Curator

The overall project *How To Build a Disaster Proof House* is curated by Amanda Krugiak, Arts Curator and Assistant Director of Arts Programming at the Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with Chrisstina Hamilton, Director of the Roman Witt Residency Program at the Stamps School. Tracey Snelling is the Stamps 2022 Roman Witt Artist in Residence.

The project has included workshops with groups across the U-M campus and further afield in the regional community at spaces including the Ann Arbor Art Center (A2AC), The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County at the Robert J. Delonis Center and Freighthouse Day Shelter, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti; and shelter for New Americans in Hamtramck. Thanks to U-M student and Delonis caseworker Alexzandra McCrum, A2AC Gallery Director Ashley Miller, Stamps MDes students and Stamps professor Nick Tobier for all of your guidance and help facilitating these outreach engagements.

The Disaster Proof mobile unit will be exhibited at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival in the Michigan Theater, Tuesday March 22 - Sunday March 27, 2022. Snelling’s short film A Poem is a City, created in collaboration with Arthur Debert, will be in competition as part of this year’s AAFF programming. A *Disaster Proof* community installation will appear at the Ann Arbor Art Center beginning in mid-April in connection with the A2AC Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, *Sharing Space* (May 20 - July 8, 2022).

How Invalid and Mischievous Survey Responses Bias Estimates of LGBQ-heterosexual Youth Risk Disparities
March 16, 2022, noon ET via Zoom

Speaker: Joseph Cimpian, Associate Professor of Economics and Education Policy at NYU Steinhardt

Abstract: Survey respondents don’t always take surveys as seriously as researchers would like. Sometimes, they provide intentionally untrue, extreme responses. Other times, they skip items or fill in random patterns. We might be tempted to think this just introduces some random error into the estimates, but these responses can have undue effects on estimates of the wellbeing and risk of minoritized populations, such as racially and sexually minoritized youth. Over the past decade, and with a focus on youth who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or questioning (LGBQ), a variety of data-validity screening techniques have been employed in attempts to scrub datasets of “mischievous responders,” youths who systematically provide extreme and untrue responses to outcome items and who tend to falsely report being LGBQ. In this talk, I discuss how mischievous responders—and invalid responses, more generally—can perpetuate narratives of heightened risk, rather than those of greater resilience in the face of obstacles, for LGBQ youth. The talk will review several recent and ongoing studies using pre-registration and replication to test how invalid data affect LGBQ-heterosexual disparities on a wide range of outcomes. Key findings include: (1) potentially invalid responders inflate some (but not all) LGBQ–heterosexual disparities; (2) this is true more among boys than girls; (3) low-incidence outcomes (e.g., heroin use) are particularly susceptible to bias; and (4) the method for detection and mitigation affects the estimates. Yet, these methods do not solve all data validity concerns, and their limitations are discussed. While the empirical focus of this talk is on LGBQ youth, the issues and methods discussed are relevant to research on other minoritized groups and youth generally, and speak to survey development, methodology, and the robustness and transparency of research.

Biography: Joseph Cimpian, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Economics and Education Policy at NYU Steinhardt and associated faculty at NYU Wagner. He earned a Ph.D. in Economics of Education from Stanford University. His research focuses on the use and development of novel and rigorous methods to study equity and policy, particularly concerning language minorities, gender, and sexual minorities. One line of his research examines how “mischievous responders”—youth who provide extreme and untrue responses—can bias estimates of majority-minority group disparities. Some of his other work examines how beliefs about gender and math ability contribute to gender gaps in STEM. Prior to joining the faculty at NYU, Cimpian was an Associate Professor and College of Education Distinguished Scholar at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His work has been funded by the Spencer Foundation, the AERA Grants Board, the National Science Foundation, and the Institute of Education Sciences. His research has been published in some of the top journals in education, psychology, health, and policy, and has been featured by the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, and Brookings, among other outlets. He presented his work on English learner reclassification policies at a U.S. Congressional briefing and for the Council of Chief State School Officers. At NYU, he teaches intermediate and advanced graduate courses on causal inference. He is currently an Editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, and is on the editorial boards of several other education and psychology journals.

Snelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory,” or open studio, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves, and the rooms change, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence.

Snelling’s pop aesthetic incorporates prefab objects, bright colors, light, video, and sound. The work is disarming in its exuberance, reassuring us there is no such thing as a zombie under the bed, while at the same time, making room to process the very real and unsettling world in which we live.

Through workshops guided by Snelling, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home, safety, and dreams.

The experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.

The mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging, or where we come from, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations.

Snelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination.

In her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities, racial biases, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people.

“The ongoing lack of affordable health care, systematic racism, class division, economic downturn, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…," states Snelling. "By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”

-Amanda Krugliak Arts Curator

The overall project *How To Build a Disaster Proof House* is curated by Amanda Krugiak, Arts Curator and Assistant Director of Arts Programming at the Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with Chrisstina Hamilton, Director of the Roman Witt Residency Program at the Stamps School. Tracey Snelling is the Stamps 2022 Roman Witt Artist in Residence.

The project has included workshops with groups across the U-M campus and further afield in the regional community at spaces including the Ann Arbor Art Center (A2AC), The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County at the Robert J. Delonis Center and Freighthouse Day Shelter, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti; and shelter for New Americans in Hamtramck. Thanks to U-M student and Delonis caseworker Alexzandra McCrum, A2AC Gallery Director Ashley Miller, Stamps MDes students and Stamps professor Nick Tobier for all of your guidance and help facilitating these outreach engagements.

The Disaster Proof mobile unit will be exhibited at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival in the Michigan Theater, Tuesday March 22 - Sunday March 27, 2022. Snelling’s short film A Poem is a City, created in collaboration with Arthur Debert, will be in competition as part of this year’s AAFF programming. A *Disaster Proof* community installation will appear at the Ann Arbor Art Center beginning in mid-April in connection with the A2AC Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, *Sharing Space* (May 20 - July 8, 2022).

How to Build a Disaster Proof House (March 21, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/93151 93151-21700963@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 21, 2022 9:00am

Artist Tracey Snelling’s *How to Build a Disaster Proof House* contemplates the uncertainty, displacement, and disenfranchisement that frames the present day. How do we find a safe place, protected from bad weather and circumstance, in an era of floods, fires,violence, abuse and pandemics?

Snelling finds a route for escape by constructing big and small sculptural worlds, private and public.

Snelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory,” or open studio, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves, and the rooms change, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence.

Snelling’s pop aesthetic incorporates prefab objects, bright colors, light, video, and sound. The work is disarming in its exuberance, reassuring us there is no such thing as a zombie under the bed, while at the same time, making room to process the very real and unsettling world in which we live.

Through workshops guided by Snelling, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home, safety, and dreams.

The experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.

The mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging, or where we come from, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations.

Snelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination.

In her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities, racial biases, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people.

“The ongoing lack of affordable health care, systematic racism, class division, economic downturn, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…," states Snelling. "By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”

-Amanda Krugliak Arts Curator

The overall project *How To Build a Disaster Proof House* is curated by Amanda Krugiak, Arts Curator and Assistant Director of Arts Programming at the Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with Chrisstina Hamilton, Director of the Roman Witt Residency Program at the Stamps School. Tracey Snelling is the Stamps 2022 Roman Witt Artist in Residence.

The project has included workshops with groups across the U-M campus and further afield in the regional community at spaces including the Ann Arbor Art Center (A2AC), The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County at the Robert J. Delonis Center and Freighthouse Day Shelter, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti; and shelter for New Americans in Hamtramck. Thanks to U-M student and Delonis caseworker Alexzandra McCrum, A2AC Gallery Director Ashley Miller, Stamps MDes students and Stamps professor Nick Tobier for all of your guidance and help facilitating these outreach engagements.

The Disaster Proof mobile unit will be exhibited at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival in the Michigan Theater, Tuesday March 22 - Sunday March 27, 2022. Snelling’s short film A Poem is a City, created in collaboration with Arthur Debert, will be in competition as part of this year’s AAFF programming. A *Disaster Proof* community installation will appear at the Ann Arbor Art Center beginning in mid-April in connection with the A2AC Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, *Sharing Space* (May 20 - July 8, 2022).

‘An Issue of Mercy’: Exploring the Life and Writing of Phillis Wheatley Peters Through Documents and Poetry (March 21, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93026 93026-21699127@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 21, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Poet, essayist, and novelist Honorée Fanonne Jeffers will discuss the research and practice that led to her award-winning book of poetry The Age of Phillis (2020). This collection is based upon fifteen years of research on the life and times of Phillis Wheatley Peters (1753-1784), a formerly enslaved person who was the first African American woman to publish a book. Professor Jeffers will discuss the connections between archival research and creative practice, and on the ways that early Americanist scholarship can benefit from engagement with contemporary poetry. The Age of Phillis won the 2021 NAACP Image Award for Literary Work: Poetry, was long-listed for the 2020 National Book Award in Poetry, and was a finalist for both the 2021 PEN/Volcker Award and the 2021 Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Poetry. The Age of Phillis was also chosen as the “common read” for the Society of Early Americanists’ conference for the academic year of 2020-2021.

A Randolph G. Adams Lecture presented by the William L. Clements Library in partnership with the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, Residential College, Department of English Language and Literature, and Department of History.

Regretfully, the talk between Toshi Reagon and Alexis Pauline Gumbs has been canceled. Please join us for other Octavia Butler Week and Parable Path events this week.

Alexis Pauline Gumbs in conversation with Toshi Reagon is the 2022 Marc and Constance Jacobson Lecture. Can't attend in person? Watch the live-stream at https://myumi.ch/y9VNR.

Writer Alexis Pauline Gumbs talks to musician, composer, producer, and activist Toshi Reagon about her opera Parable of the Sower, based on the book by Octavia Butler. Moderated by Ebony Elizabeth Thomas.

About Octavia Butler Week:
Octavia Butler was a renowned African American author who received a MacArthur “Genius” Grant and PEN West Lifetime Achievement Award for her body of work. With Octavia Butler Week, we aim to explore the work and legacy of this visionary writer. It’s part of a larger series of events that include a community read, a multimedia performance, an open-mic night, and additional events that together comprise Parable Path A2Ypsi.

Culminating Parable Path A2Ypsi is Toshi Reagon and Bernice Johnson Reagon’s genre-defying musical adaptation of Octavia E. Butler’s novel Parable of the Sower. UMS will present this powerful performance March 25-27, 2022 at the Power Center in Ann Arbor. Tickets and info at ums.org.

About Toshi Reagon:
Toshi Reagon has been described as “a talented, versatile singer, songwriter and musician with a profound ear for sonic Americana—from folk to funk, from blues to rock” by critic/blogger Eva Yaa Asantewaa (InfiniteBody). “She masters each of these genres with vocal strategies that easily spiral and swoop from the expressively sinuous to the hard-charging, a combination of warmth and mischief.”

While her expansive career has landed her comfortably in residence at Carnegie Hall, the Paris Opera House and Madison Square Garden, you can just as easily find Toshi turning out a music festival, intimate venue or local club. Toshi finds home on any musical stage. Toshi has had the pleasure of working with Lenny Kravitz, Lizz Wright, Ani DiFranco, Carl Hancock Rux, Nona Hendryx, Pete Seeger, Chocolate Genius and many other amazing artists, including her favorite collaborator, her mom, Bernice Johnson Reagon.

Yaa Asantewaa writes, “Toshi knows the power of song to focus, unite and mobilize people. If you’ve been lucky enough to be in Toshi’s presence, you know you can’t walk away from her without feeling better about yourself as a human being. She aims for nothing less.”

Toshi has been the recipient of a NYFA award for Music Composition, The Black Lily Music and Film Festival Award for Outstanding Performance. She is a National Women’s History Month Honoree, and is the 2010 recipient of OutMusic’s Heritage Award.

About Alexis Pauline Gumbs:
Alexis Pauline Gumbs is a Queer Black Feminist Love Evangelist and an aspirational cousin to all life. She is/they are the author of several books, most recently Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals and the co-founder of the Mobile Homecoming Trust, an intergenerational experiential living library of Black LBGTQ brilliance.

How to Build a Disaster Proof House (March 22, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/93151 93151-21700964@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 22, 2022 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Artist Tracey Snelling’s *How to Build a Disaster Proof House* contemplates the uncertainty, displacement, and disenfranchisement that frames the present day. How do we find a safe place, protected from bad weather and circumstance, in an era of floods, fires,violence, abuse and pandemics?

Snelling finds a route for escape by constructing big and small sculptural worlds, private and public.

Snelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory,” or open studio, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves, and the rooms change, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence.

Snelling’s pop aesthetic incorporates prefab objects, bright colors, light, video, and sound. The work is disarming in its exuberance, reassuring us there is no such thing as a zombie under the bed, while at the same time, making room to process the very real and unsettling world in which we live.

Through workshops guided by Snelling, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home, safety, and dreams.

The experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.

The mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging, or where we come from, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations.

Snelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination.

In her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities, racial biases, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people.

“The ongoing lack of affordable health care, systematic racism, class division, economic downturn, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…," states Snelling. "By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”

-Amanda Krugliak Arts Curator

The overall project *How To Build a Disaster Proof House* is curated by Amanda Krugiak, Arts Curator and Assistant Director of Arts Programming at the Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with Chrisstina Hamilton, Director of the Roman Witt Residency Program at the Stamps School.

Lecture: Monk's Nausea (March 22, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93137 93137-21700935@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 22, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

This talk explores the feeling of nausea as it arises in Percival Everett’s 1999 novel Erasure. I read Monk’s nausea as the affective expression of the aesthetic problem of a definitionally African American or black American literature. Situating this novel within ongoing contemporary debates on the contours (and existence) of post-soul black culture, I am suggesting that the terms of inclusion may prove less interesting than the frustrations they produce, registered in this case at the levels of novel structure and intimate, bodily queasiness. This is part of an ongoing interest in dizzying states and (hopefully!) the beginning of a contained project on negative affects in contemporary race fiction.

Lauren Michele Jackson is an assistant professor of English at Northwestern University and a contributing writer at The New Yorker. She is the author of the essay collection White Negroes and is currently working on a second book with Amistad Press with assistance as a 2022 National Fellow at the New America Foundation.

How to Build a Disaster Proof House (March 23, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/93151 93151-21700965@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 23, 2022 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Artist Tracey Snelling’s *How to Build a Disaster Proof House* contemplates the uncertainty, displacement, and disenfranchisement that frames the present day. How do we find a safe place, protected from bad weather and circumstance, in an era of floods, fires,violence, abuse and pandemics?

Snelling finds a route for escape by constructing big and small sculptural worlds, private and public.

Snelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory,” or open studio, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves, and the rooms change, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence.

Snelling’s pop aesthetic incorporates prefab objects, bright colors, light, video, and sound. The work is disarming in its exuberance, reassuring us there is no such thing as a zombie under the bed, while at the same time, making room to process the very real and unsettling world in which we live.

Through workshops guided by Snelling, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home, safety, and dreams.

The experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.

The mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging, or where we come from, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations.

Snelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination.

In her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities, racial biases, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people.

“The ongoing lack of affordable health care, systematic racism, class division, economic downturn, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…," states Snelling. "By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”

-Amanda Krugliak Arts Curator

The overall project *How To Build a Disaster Proof House* is curated by Amanda Krugiak, Arts Curator and Assistant Director of Arts Programming at the Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with Chrisstina Hamilton, Director of the Roman Witt Residency Program at the Stamps School. Tracey Snelling is the Stamps 2022 Roman Witt Artist in Residence.

The project has included workshops with groups across the U-M campus and further afield in the regional community at spaces including the Ann Arbor Art Center (A2AC), The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County at the Robert J. Delonis Center and Freighthouse Day Shelter, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti; and shelter for New Americans in Hamtramck. Thanks to U-M student and Delonis caseworker Alexzandra McCrum, A2AC Gallery Director Ashley Miller, Stamps MDes students and Stamps professor Nick Tobier for all of your guidance and help facilitating these outreach engagements.

The Disaster Proof mobile unit will be exhibited at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival in the Michigan Theater, Tuesday March 22 - Sunday March 27, 2022. Snelling’s short film A Poem is a City, created in collaboration with Arthur Debert, will be in competition as part of this year’s AAFF programming. A *Disaster Proof* community installation will appear at the Ann Arbor Art Center beginning in mid-April in connection with the A2AC Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, *Sharing Space* (May 20 - July 8, 2022).

Imaginative Activism of Digital Citizens Symposium (March 24, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90657 90657-21672078@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 24, 2022 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

This symposium is a collaboration between the University of Michigan’s professor of Art & Design and Digital Studies Irina Aristarkhova and UCLA’s Slavist and curator Dr. Sasha Razor. It is focused on events that took place during the summer of 2020 in Belarus, bringing them into a broader discussion around digital citizenship, activism, and the new emerging scholarship. The symposium aims to introduce new concepts and approaches to imaginative activism, grounded in critical digital studies, feminist and new media theory, digital curation, contemporary art history, and information studies, in addition to the study of democracy and the Eastern European region.

Description: In the summer of 2020, many countries experienced protests against police violence and demanded democratic social change. A small country in Eastern Europe - Belarus - became one of the centers of global activism. Activists, IT professionals, artists, designers and neighbors teamed up to coordinate, connect, and amplify their work on digital platforms, such as Telegram, Instagram and Youtube, to overthrow the dictatorial regime. They created visual representation and identity of a social movement that now exists largely in digital formats and often made for digital platforms that themselves could be compromised and used against them. What is the role of scholars and librarians who study citizen activism, contemporary art and digital culture? What kind of new questions and solutions are posed by today’s digital citizens? Reimagining what these tools enable and how they can be used, and researching new forms of “imaginative activism,” are the primary goals of this interdisciplinary symposium and the digital exhibition curated by Sasha Razor at Michigan Libraries.

How to Build a Disaster Proof House (March 25, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/93151 93151-21700967@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 25, 2022 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Artist Tracey Snelling’s *How to Build a Disaster Proof House* contemplates the uncertainty, displacement, and disenfranchisement that frames the present day. How do we find a safe place, protected from bad weather and circumstance, in an era of floods, fires,violence, abuse and pandemics?

Snelling finds a route for escape by constructing big and small sculptural worlds, private and public.

Snelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory,” or open studio, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves, and the rooms change, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence.

Snelling’s pop aesthetic incorporates prefab objects, bright colors, light, video, and sound. The work is disarming in its exuberance, reassuring us there is no such thing as a zombie under the bed, while at the same time, making room to process the very real and unsettling world in which we live.

Through workshops guided by Snelling, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home, safety, and dreams.

The experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.

The mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging, or where we come from, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations.

Snelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination.

In her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities, racial biases, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people.

“The ongoing lack of affordable health care, systematic racism, class division, economic downturn, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…," states Snelling. "By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”

-Amanda Krugliak Arts Curator

The overall project *How To Build a Disaster Proof House* is curated by Amanda Krugiak, Arts Curator and Assistant Director of Arts Programming at the Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with Chrisstina Hamilton, Director of the Roman Witt Residency Program at the Stamps School. Tracey Snelling is the Stamps 2022 Roman Witt Artist in Residence.

The project has included workshops with groups across the U-M campus and further afield in the regional community at spaces including the Ann Arbor Art Center (A2AC), The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County at the Robert J. Delonis Center and Freighthouse Day Shelter, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti; and shelter for New Americans in Hamtramck. Thanks to U-M student and Delonis caseworker Alexzandra McCrum, A2AC Gallery Director Ashley Miller, Stamps MDes students and Stamps professor Nick Tobier for all of your guidance and help facilitating these outreach engagements.

The Disaster Proof mobile unit will be exhibited at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival in the Michigan Theater, Tuesday March 22 - Sunday March 27, 2022. Snelling’s short film A Poem is a City, created in collaboration with Arthur Debert, will be in competition as part of this year’s AAFF programming. A *Disaster Proof* community installation will appear at the Ann Arbor Art Center beginning in mid-April in connection with the A2AC Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, *Sharing Space* (May 20 - July 8, 2022).

Detroit River Story Lab: Community Narratives and Carbon Economies
Rebecca Hardin and David Porter, University of Michigan

Monday, Mar. 28, Open Talks will be held noon to 1pm, and the Grad Workshops will be held 1 to 3pm.
This event will be held via Zoom.

Abstract:
U-M's Detroit River Story Lab is comprised of interdisciplinary faculty, partnering with a wide array of Michigan based organizations in efforts to reconnect residents with the Detroit River. The Story Lab uses the term “narrative infrastructure” to refer both to the fabric of shared stories that binds a given community together and the pipelines and platforms by which these stories are circulated and elevated. For decades, the needs of Detroit riverside communities’ have been framed in terms of physical infrastructure (transportation, utilities, etc). Today, community leaders and scholars alike have recognized how the arts, civic life, local journalism, and public history are also critical to social cohesion and vitality. Alongside Detroit's legacies of inequity due to pollution, the privatization of shorelands, the bulldozing of neighborhoods, and mass-incarceration, has come the loss of sustaining stories about the Detroit River--or resident’s stories for framing sustainability for the city's and region's future. Learning from local residents who do (or who seek to) engage with its waters, the Story Lab partnership seeks to strengthen the narrative infrastructure of the Detroit River corridor with respect to its indigenous sacred sites, roles in the Underground Railroad, and long histories of water activism, among other themes. We work together through independent media, software platforms, innovative secondary and higher education curricula, and interpretive programing in public spaces. We are also developing youth participatory research trainings in river heritage, ecosystem regeneration, carbon accounting and equitable landscape design, to encourage direct personal ties with the river as well as community identification and advocacy along the corridor. Drawing from pathbreaking recent scholarship on Detroit's history and collaborative sustainability science, we work toward possible narrative transformation from the one and only "Motor City” to a preeminent "River City" worthy of emulation as an international and intercultural confluence of innovations in climate change adaptation, active learning and environmental and social justice.

This is a part of the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD) Winter 2022 Series - "Water Ways: New Social Science, Science Studies, and Environmental Approaches to Water"

This is also a part of the class Anthrcul 558 section 002

How to Build a Disaster Proof House (March 29, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/93151 93151-21700971@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 29, 2022 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Artist Tracey Snelling’s *How to Build a Disaster Proof House* contemplates the uncertainty, displacement, and disenfranchisement that frames the present day. How do we find a safe place, protected from bad weather and circumstance, in an era of floods, fires,violence, abuse and pandemics?

Snelling finds a route for escape by constructing big and small sculptural worlds, private and public.

Snelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory,” or open studio, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves, and the rooms change, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence.

Snelling’s pop aesthetic incorporates prefab objects, bright colors, light, video, and sound. The work is disarming in its exuberance, reassuring us there is no such thing as a zombie under the bed, while at the same time, making room to process the very real and unsettling world in which we live.

Through workshops guided by Snelling, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home, safety, and dreams.

The experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.

The mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging, or where we come from, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations.

Snelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination.

In her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities, racial biases, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people.

“The ongoing lack of affordable health care, systematic racism, class division, economic downturn, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…," states Snelling. "By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”

-Amanda Krugliak Arts Curator

The overall project *How To Build a Disaster Proof House* is curated by Amanda Krugiak, Arts Curator and Assistant Director of Arts Programming at the Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with Chrisstina Hamilton, Director of the Roman Witt Residency Program at the Stamps School. Tracey Snelling is the Stamps 2022 Roman Witt Artist in Residence.

The project has included workshops with groups across the U-M campus and further afield in the regional community at spaces including the Ann Arbor Art Center (A2AC), The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County at the Robert J. Delonis Center and Freighthouse Day Shelter, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti; and shelter for New Americans in Hamtramck. Thanks to U-M student and Delonis caseworker Alexzandra McCrum, A2AC Gallery Director Ashley Miller, Stamps MDes students and Stamps professor Nick Tobier for all of your guidance and help facilitating these outreach engagements.

The Disaster Proof mobile unit will be exhibited at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival in the Michigan Theater, Tuesday March 22 - Sunday March 27, 2022. Snelling’s short film A Poem is a City, created in collaboration with Arthur Debert, will be in competition as part of this year’s AAFF programming. A *Disaster Proof* community installation will appear at the Ann Arbor Art Center beginning in mid-April in connection with the A2AC Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, *Sharing Space* (May 20 - July 8, 2022).

Please join us for the final workshop in the DS 101 series, which brings it all together. You’ve got a great plan for your research project. It’s conceptualized, and you know how you’ll manage the labor, materials, and information. How do you describe the value of your project in your CV or when you are up for review? And how will people know about it and find it once it exists? Building upon the themes in the DS 101 workshop series, this workshop will discuss how to communicate the successes and impact of your digital project to make it legible to fellow researchers and university administration. This session will provide guidance on how to best communicate and highlight to external and internal stakeholders the deliverables and anticipated outcomes of your project.

April is National Poetry Month, the largest literary celebration in the world. This year we're joining the tens of millions of readers, students, teachers, librarians, booksellers, publishers, families, and, of course, poets, in marking poetry's important place in our lives. Our goal is for everyone in our community to read a poem, write a poem, or listen to a poem in April. Why? As editor and teacher Alice Osborn said, "Poetry is like the Windex on a grubby car window—it bares open the vulnerabilities of human beings so we can all relate to each other a little better."

How to Get Involved

Noon Poems
Take a few minutes to listen to a poem. Every weekday at noon in April, our Youtube channel will feature a U-M faculty member reading one of their poems. Videos will also be archived for those who wish to listen later. If you'd like to receive a daily reminder in your inbox, sign up here: http://eepurl.com/hrZTGv.

Prompt a Poem!—A Daily April Poetry Challenge
Creative expression through poetry for everyone! Every weekday in April, people from all walks of life can unite behind a common prompt by writing a poem. Sign up here to receive the daily prompts in your inbox, or look here where we will list them. Many thanks to Laura Kasischke for creating the prompts and collaborating on Prompt a Poem.

How to Build a Disaster Proof House (April 1, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/93151 93151-21700974@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 1, 2022 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Artist Tracey Snelling’s *How to Build a Disaster Proof House* contemplates the uncertainty, displacement, and disenfranchisement that frames the present day. How do we find a safe place, protected from bad weather and circumstance, in an era of floods, fires,violence, abuse and pandemics?

Snelling finds a route for escape by constructing big and small sculptural worlds, private and public.

Snelling is at U-M this winter term as the current Roman Witt Artist in Residence. During her residency, the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and its Osterman Common Room will function as a “laboratory,” or open studio, where visitors can see the artist’s creative process as the installation evolves, and the rooms change, debunking any presumptive myth of permanence.

Snelling’s pop aesthetic incorporates prefab objects, bright colors, light, video, and sound. The work is disarming in its exuberance, reassuring us there is no such thing as a zombie under the bed, while at the same time, making room to process the very real and unsettling world in which we live.

Through workshops guided by Snelling, U-M students and others from our local and outlying communities will create small-scale rooms or dwellings…”a room of one’s own” reflective of their personal feelings and ideas about home, safety, and dreams.

The experience of crafting together articulates the fundamental importance of our relationship to one another. The myriad of rooms will be displayed ongoing in the Osterman Common Room, as well as becoming part of an installation on wheels, a mobile unit meant to travel throughout town.

The mobile installation contemplates how we measure our sense of belonging, or where we come from, in a world of ongoing transitions and migrations.

Snelling’s project fosters belonging despite all of the different ways we live and co-exist, beyond structures and times of remoteness. Concurrently, the installation embraces our everyday existence and the power of our individual and collective imagination.

In her previous 2017 Institute for the Humanities Gallery exhibition *Here and There*, Snelling pushed up against the challenges of economic inequities, racial biases, and imposed class divisions that often limit the options available to so many people.

“The ongoing lack of affordable health care, systematic racism, class division, economic downturn, and the impacts of climate change all contribute to global poverty and housing issues…," states Snelling. "By working on this project with U-M students and communities regionally, I hope to not only raise awareness of housing precarity but also be responsive together as a community...to the challenges facing our fellow citizens.”

-Amanda Krugliak Arts Curator

The overall project *How To Build a Disaster Proof House* is curated by Amanda Krugiak, Arts Curator and Assistant Director of Arts Programming at the Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with Chrisstina Hamilton, Director of the Roman Witt Residency Program at the Stamps School. Tracey Snelling is the Stamps 2022 Roman Witt Artist in Residence.

The project has included workshops with groups across the U-M campus and further afield in the regional community at spaces including the Ann Arbor Art Center (A2AC), The Shelter Association of Washtenaw County at the Robert J. Delonis Center and Freighthouse Day Shelter, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti; and shelter for New Americans in Hamtramck. Thanks to U-M student and Delonis caseworker Alexzandra McCrum, A2AC Gallery Director Ashley Miller, Stamps MDes students and Stamps professor Nick Tobier for all of your guidance and help facilitating these outreach engagements.

The Disaster Proof mobile unit will be exhibited at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival in the Michigan Theater, Tuesday March 22 - Sunday March 27, 2022. Snelling’s short film A Poem is a City, created in collaboration with Arthur Debert, will be in competition as part of this year’s AAFF programming. A *Disaster Proof* community installation will appear at the Ann Arbor Art Center beginning in mid-April in connection with the A2AC Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, *Sharing Space* (May 20 - July 8, 2022).

Citizen Responses to Poor Quality Urban Water Service: A Political Economy Approach
Alyssa Huberts, Harvard University

Monday, Apr. 4, Open Talks will be held noon to 1pm, and the Grad Workshops will be held 1 to 3pm.
In-person in ISR-Thompson 6050
Presentations will also be available online via Zoom

Abstract:
How do citizens respond to intermittent or unreliable water? In classic models of electoral accountability, urban residents that experience low quality services will punish local officials at the polls. Using the case of Mexico City, I show how a range of intervening factors – including a decentralized structure for water provision, a lack of clarity for "who is to blame", and citizens' own investments in household storage capacity – significantly complicate the link between the provision of high quality services and electoral payoffs. I also show how a dynamic set of interactions – including 311 requests, Twitter shaming, and even small-scale street blockades – create incentives for politicians to focus on "firefighting" problems with the water grid, rather than investing in longer term changes.

Poetry Blast! (April 5, 2022 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/94022 94022-21715686@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 5, 2022 12:00am

April is National Poetry Month, the largest literary celebration in the world. This year we're joining the tens of millions of readers, students, teachers, librarians, booksellers, publishers, families, and, of course, poets, in marking poetry's important place in our lives. Our goal is for everyone in our community to read a poem, write a poem, or listen to a poem in April. Why? As editor and teacher Alice Osborn said, "Poetry is like the Windex on a grubby car window—it bares open the vulnerabilities of human beings so we can all relate to each other a little better."

How to Get Involved

Noon Poems
Take a few minutes to listen to a poem. Every weekday at noon in April, our Youtube channel will feature a U-M faculty member reading one of their poems. Videos will also be archived for those who wish to listen later. If you'd like to receive a daily reminder in your inbox, sign up here: http://eepurl.com/hrZTGv.

Prompt a Poem!—A Daily April Poetry Challenge
Creative expression through poetry for everyone! Every weekday in April, people from all walks of life can unite behind a common prompt by writing a poem. Sign up here to receive the daily prompts in your inbox, or look here where we will list them. Many thanks to Laura Kasischke for creating the prompts and collaborating on Prompt a Poem.

Pop-Up Poems
Stroll around campus and read a poem! We've teamed up with Michigan Quarterly Review to make poetry part of the campus landscape. Look for poems all over campus in windows, on the diag, on buses, and more.
