Strategies to Empower Women to Achieve Academic Success (June 7, 2017 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/41180 41180-8989875@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, June 7, 2017 8:00am
Location: Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute

Accelerating the careers of women in academia will be the focus of a free public symposium hosted by the A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute.

The symposium — “Strategies to Empower Women to Achieve Academic Success” — aims to close the historic gap that leaves females consistently behind their male counterparts in salaries, grant awards and opportunities for advancement.

It runs from 8:30 a.m. – 11 a.m. on Wednesday, June 7 in the Kahn Auditorium in the A. Alfred Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building.

Attendees will confront the reality of today’s status quo: Despite comparable numbers of women and men that train in medical fields, women comprise only 21 percent of full professors and 15 percent of department chairs. Men also receive more independently funded 5-year grants to complete research projects.

“Our main goals for the symposium are to bring together women and leaders at U-M to both enlighten the community about the issues, and also determine how to best overcome these common hurdles that hold back women as they strive to advance their careers as faculty and leaders,” said Eva L. Feldman, M.D., Ph.D., U-M’s Russell N. DeJong Professor of Neurology and director of the Taubman Institute.

The symposium will begin with a pair of keynote addresses by leading experts — Reshma Jagsi, M.D., D.Phil., director of the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine, and Janet Bickel, a nationally-recognized expert in organizational and leadership development. The keynotes will be followed by a panel of distinguished senior faculty who will discuss related issues such as negotiation and promotion strategies, work/life balance, networking and tips for success.

“We expect women will walk out of this symposium empowered and excited about advancing their potential to become successful academic faculty and leaders,” Feldman said.

The symposium is free of charge and no advance registration is required.

Location: LSA Building
Organized By: LSA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

This conversation provides an opportunity to explore our unique experiences of race and ethnicity. Where are we and what do we aspire to for ourselves and our community? There will be multiple questions discussed in small groups that are intended as conversation starters. Participants will only need to respond to one or two of the questions that matter the most to them. There will be several rounds of talking points from core values and understanding more about race and ethnicity, to reflection, accomplishment and next steps. Come join us for this guided, civil discourse in the form of a Living Room Conversation, on race and ethnicity.

ISP Lecture. Islamotopia: American Exceptionalism and Muslim Reform (September 15, 2017 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/41967 41967-9497509@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 15, 2017 12:30pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

The notion of "American Islam," signifying a uniquely American expression of Islam that either presently exists or awaits us as an attainable future, has been employed by diverse Muslim thinkers, including Salafi revivalists, progressive feminists, and even Muslim Republicans. Discourse of "American Islam" often represents this present/future as one in which American Muslims shed inauthentic cultural practices, achieve a pure and authentically textualist Islam, and then proceed to export "true Islam" to Muslims worldwide. The United States thus appears in these discourses as a sort of "umma laboratory" in which American Muslims will purify Islam on a global scale. This lecture examines the development of American Muslim exceptionalism, the exclusions and marginalizations that it performs, and calls attention to indicators of its decline.

Michael Muhammad Knight is the author of 11 books, including fiction, nonfiction, scholarship, and scholarly reflection. Knight’s work examines issues of authenticity and authority in Muslim communities, with special focus on American Muslims. He is assistant professor of religion and cultural studies at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. His 12th book, "Muhammad: Forty Introductions," is forthcoming in 2018.

Sponsors: Islamic Studies Program, Arab and Muslim American Studies, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum

U-M MLK Symposium Cross-Campus Planning Meeting (September 21, 2017 11:45am) https://events.umich.edu/event/44869 44869-9992122@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 21, 2017 11:45am
Location: Trotter Multicultural Center
Organized By: Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI)

YOU’RE INVITED!

The University of Michigan Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium is proudly one of the largest commemoration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. across the country. The symposium consists of a keynote memorial lecture public event the morning of the MLK holiday (January 15) [open to the public, not ticketed]. The efforts to determine the symposium theme, the artwork for the event booklet, and speakers for the symposium are determined from a dedicated group of students, faculty, staff and administrators across campus.

We welcome any interested individuals who are passionate about social justice, civil and human rights, and UM’s role in creating a dynamic program that honors Dr. King to attend our monthly meetings. They are informal, please attend when you would like. Each meeting focuses on finalizing a piece of the symposium events, sharing department or org events, and always reflecting on current affairs, with an emphasis on mindfulness and community.

STUDENTS! (undergrad, grad, professional, etc) We need your voice at the table!

More information about putting your event in the booklet or online, the history of speakers, and other ways to get involved, please visit mlksymposium.umich.edu hosted and sponsored by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI).

Please email mlksymposiuminfo@umich.edu if you plan on attending an upcoming meeting, so that we may have an accurate food count.

The theme for the 2018 Symposium is The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

How can the body be a laboratory for examining dialogue, choice-making, roles and habits? In this interactive workshop, choreographer and King-Chávez-Parks Visiting Professor Eryn Rosenthal will share some of her research on the connections between a dance form called Contact Improvisation and the political writings of Steve Biko, Ada Colau, Paolo Freire, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, Judith Butler, and others. What can the body bring to larger discussions of dialogue-building, diversity, inclusion, and empowerment?

Choreographer Eryn Rosenthal examines the democratic underpinnings of Contact Improvisation, and the role of the body in transgressing previously legislated boundaries. She has worked with choreographers Sello Pesa, Jay Pather and Sol Picó, poet Elizabeth Alexander, and documentary theatre pioneer Anna Deavere Smith, among others. Eryn’s ongoing series, The Doors Project, investigates transitions–political, social, intimate–through site-based performance in different doorways around the world. Her related dance theater performance and MFA thesis, Freedom Suite: Transaction Being Processed, based on ongoing oral history research with anti-Apartheid activists from New Brighton, Port Elizabeth, South Africa, will be touring to several festivals in 2018-19. Eryn is an alumna of the MFA program in Dance at U-M, where she also studied in the Ford School for Public Policy. She has performed and taught throughout the US, South Africa and Europe, and is delighted to be back at U-M as a King-Chávez-Parks Visiting Professor and Artist in Residence for Dialogue-Building, Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives. Learn more at www.erynrosenthal.com

This workshop is made possible through funding from the Office for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI); the King-Chávez-Parks Visiting Professorship; ArtsEngine; the CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund; the School of Music, Theatre and Dance’s DEI Fund; the African Studies Center; the LSA Democracy in Action Fund; the W.M.

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

Have you ever wondered what stories your classmates have to tell? Everyone comes to U-M with a unique past—a unique story—but so often that story is lost once core classes begin and career searches kick into high gear. We are changing that.

The Sanger Leadership Center and the Ross Design + Business Club invite you join us for the Story Lab Kickoff.

You’ll hear powerful stories from your classmates and also hear from Marcus Collins, Ross alumni and professor. We will also highlight how you can perfect your own story through our retreats this year. Who knows—it could be YOU in the spotlight at a future Story Lab event!

Space is limited—RSVP today!

Location: Trotter Multicultural Center
Organized By: Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI)

YOU’RE INVITED!

The University of Michigan Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium is proudly one of the largest commemoration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. across the country. The symposium consists of a keynote memorial lecture public event the morning of the MLK holiday (January 15) [open to the public, not ticketed]. The efforts to determine the symposium theme, the artwork for the event booklet, and speakers for the symposium are determined from a dedicated group of students, faculty, staff and administrators across campus.

We welcome any interested individuals who are passionate about social justice, civil and human rights, and UM’s role in creating a dynamic program that honors Dr. King to attend our monthly meetings. They are informal, please attend when you would like. Each meeting focuses on finalizing a piece of the symposium events, sharing department or org events, and always reflecting on current affairs, with an emphasis on mindfulness and community.

STUDENTS! (undergrad, grad, professional, etc) We need your voice at the table!

More information about putting your event in the booklet or online, the history of speakers, and other ways to get involved, please visit mlksymposium.umich.edu hosted and sponsored by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI).

Please email mlksymposiuminfo@umich.edu if you plan on attending an upcoming meeting, so that we may have an accurate food count.

The theme for the 2018 Symposium is The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

One single point of convergence in a vast wash of blue water.

A screening of the film Collision, based on the research and the novel, follows the next day (Thurs Oct 19, 7:15 pm, Michigan Theater.)

Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

As the film unfolds, one single, mesmerizing shot of a refugee boat adrift in the vast blue sea, a web of stories unfolds and worlds intersect and collide. Against the flood of news images about the refugee crisis, Collision radically redirects our imagination of Europe to a set of coordinates in the Mediterranean Sea.

Based on the same research and Merle Kröger’s book by the same title (reading Oct 18 at 7pm at Literati bookstore.)

HAVARIE premiered at the 2016 Berlin Film Festival and won the German Film Critics Award for Best Experimental Film 2016, the arte-documentary award at the Duisburger Filmwoche, Best international feature film at L'Alternativa Barcelona, Best editing in an international feature at RIDM - Montreal international documentary festival, and special mention for the Prix Georges de Beauregard at the Festival International de Cinéma in Marseille.

Co-sponsored by the Goethe Institute, U-M Center for European Studies, U-M Screen Arts and Cultures, U-M Office of Research, and the U-M Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact Germanic Languages & Literatures at 734-764-8018 or germandept@umich.edu at least one week in advance.

Organized By: Center for Educational Outreach

World economies are increasingly driven by knowledge and information; the effects of globalization require greater civic engagement and cultural literacy. Postsecondary education remains the best way for civic actors to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in our evolving global landscape. Launched in 2009, the Big Goal sought to spur a college attainment rate of 60% in America by 2025. Although modest progress has been made, the US continues to lag behind other industrialized countries and the majority of college graduates are from privileged backgrounds. While 70% of jobs in Michigan now require training beyond high school, the state lags behind the nation’s average for college attainment and fewer than a quarter of the state’s high school graduates are college-ready. We must do better.

At the Michigan Pre-College and Youth Outreach Conference, we will examine challenges to postsecondary attainment and explore opportunities to address them. Increasing access to postsecondary opportunities for low-income, first-generation and underrepresented college students will benefit the state and our nation. Scholars, researchers, and practitioners will demonstrate the impact of promising approaches to inform, engage and inspire Michigan’s youth to pursue postsecondary education. Together, we can address The Urgency of College Access.

Additional supporters include:
Michigan State University Office of University Outreach and Engagement
Michigan College Advising Corps
Grand Valley State University
Western Michigan State University

YOU’RE INVITED!

The University of Michigan Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium is proudly one of the largest commemoration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. across the country. The symposium consists of a keynote memorial lecture public event the morning of the MLK holiday (January 15) [open to the public, not ticketed]. The efforts to determine the symposium theme, the artwork for the event booklet, and speakers for the symposium are determined from a dedicated group of students, faculty, staff and administrators across campus.

We welcome any interested individuals who are passionate about social justice, civil and human rights, and UM’s role in creating a dynamic program that honors Dr. King to attend our monthly meetings. They are informal, please attend when you would like. Each meeting focuses on finalizing a piece of the symposium events, sharing department or org events, and always reflecting on current affairs, with an emphasis on mindfulness and community.

STUDENTS! (undergrad, grad, professional, etc) We need your voice at the table!

More information about putting your event in the booklet or online, the history of speakers, and other ways to get involved, please visit mlksymposium.umich.edu hosted and sponsored by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI).

Please email mlksymposiuminfo@umich.edu if you plan on attending an upcoming meeting, so that we may have an accurate food count.

The theme for the 2018 Symposium is The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: CEW+

CEW is leading a one-day Spectrum of Advocacy and Activism Symposium: Finding Your Voice focused on advocacy and activism training. This event will demonstrate how a person’s activism can change over time, how advocacy is tied to a person’s context and situational power, and how partnering with diverse perspectives can strengthen advocacy and activism efforts. Health outcomes has been selected as the theme for this year’s symposium because of increasing uncertainty surrounding health care in America, including coverage for women’s health care (mental health, mammograms, birth control, maternity care, etc.).

The goals for this one-day symposium are:
-to engage students, practitioners, and researchers who are interested in advocacy and activism
-to equip symposium participants with advocacy training that can be applied to their area(s) of interest
-to develop a network among attendees for potential partnerships beyond the symposium
-to highlight the value of diverse perspectives in advocacy work.

The symposium includes presentations by local and national advocacy experts who have taken varied approaches to advocacy in ways that best leverage their current context (power, privilege, and identity). Training sessions will feature capacity-building workshops on a range of topics from community organizing to bystander intervention to running for political office. Afternoon panel discussions will offer practical strategies that attendees can apply to their own work as advocates and activists. At the end of the day, participants will be presented with a common challenge that they will address in small groups comprised of individuals from campus and community.

The day will close out with a surprise special keynote speaker to be announced soon!

This free event will take place on Wednesday, November 15, 2017 at the Michigan League. Space for the symposium is limited to 350 people, however, the free keynote lecture will be open to the public.

Registration available on our website now!

Cultivating Transfer to STEM: Perspectives, Challenges, and Opportunities (November 15, 2017 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46815 46815-10636758@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 15, 2017 3:30pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

This event features Tania (Nguyen) LaViolet, PhD, senior program manager at Aspen Institute's College Excellence Program and the American Talent Initiative (ATI) and Dr. Bill Pink, president of Grand Rapids Community College.

According to indicators from the Beginning Postsecondary Student Survey, each year, there are approximately 51,000 lower-income, high-achieving community college students who do not transfer to a four-year institution. With an estimated 80% of community college students intending to transfer, researchers at Aspen and Ithaka S+R hosted over 25 research calls with two-year and four-year institutions to understand:

-The challenges four-year institutions face in enrolling and supporting community college students.
-What practices have been successful in cultivating relationships with community colleges to support enrollment, graduation, and holistic success of transfer students.

This work builds on The Transfer Playbook, which Aspen published last year in collaboration with the Community College Research Center. Dr. LaViolet will provide a preview of the upcoming ATI research publication, with a focus on supporting STEM bachelor’s attainment. President Pink will offer a local perspective on the challenges facing community college students in Michigan related to transfer and share thoughts on the experiences, preparation, and support necessary for successful STEM transfer to a four-year college.

This event is sponsored by the Growing STEM Knowledge Community.

__________________________________________

U-M CEW brings celebrated and award-winning transgender actress, producer & equal rights advocate Laverne Cox to Rackham Auditorium on Wednesday, November 15th at 6:00 p.m. In Ms. Cox’s lecture, titled Ain't I a Woman: My Journey to Womanhood, she will be sharing her experiences as a trans woman of color, and her work as an international advocate for human rights and gender equality. This lecture serves as the capstone event to the 2017 CEW Spectrum of Advocacy & Activism Symposium being held earlier in the day.

Laverne Cox is an Emmy-nominated actress, Emmy-winning producer and the first transgender woman of color to have a leading role on a mainstream scripted television show. As the 2017 Mullin Welch guest lecturer, Laverne will be sharing her experiences as a trans woman of color, and her work as an international advocate for human rights and gender equality.

As "Sophia Burset," an incarcerated African American transgender woman on “Orange is the New Black,” Laverne is the first trans woman of color to have a leading role on a mainstream scripted television show. Along with several acting awards, Laverne was notably the first trans woman to appear on the cover of TIME magazine. An accomplished producer and celebrated equal rights advocate, she continues to drive positive change on a global scale as she shares her views on race, class, and gender with audiences through a range of platforms.

Laverne projects a combination of strength and vulnerability in her presentations while delivering an animated reflection on the transgender experience. Her recollections of growing up in Mobile, Ala., moving to New York City, and finding the courage to step into womanhood illustrate the unique challenges faced by the transgender community. With a powerful and empowering message about self-acceptance and love, Laverne moves audiences to respect and appreciate all individuals and advocate for positive change.

This lecture is made possible through the generous support of the CEW Frances & Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund and the CEW Mullin Welch Fund. Additional funding is provided by the Office of the Provost’s King-Chavez-Parks Visiting Professorship Program.

CEW would also like to thank the following University of Michigan event partners: Institute for Research on Women & Gender (IRWG), College of Literature, Science and the Arts (LSA), Office of the Vice Provost for Equity, Inclusion and Academic Affairs, University Human Resources (UHR), Women of Color Task Force (WCTF), Athletics, School of Public Health (SPH), Student Life, Spectrum Center, and the Ginsberg Center.

The CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund promotes diversity and cultural awareness by bringing women leaders to campus.

The CEW Mullin Welch Lecture Series was established in 1989 by Frances Daseler and Marjorie Jackson in memory of their sister Elizabeth Charlotte Mullin Welch. This fund brings to the U-M campus outstanding women who exemplify Elizabeth's characteristics: creativity, strength of character, and expansive vision.

This symposium takes place two days after the anticipated visit of Congressman John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell to the University of Michigan (Nov 27th, Hill Auditorium). Their acclaimed graphic novel trilogy, March, recounts Lewis's experiences throughout the Civil Rights Movement. In protest marches from Selma to Montgomery in 1965, John Lewis and 600 other marchers drew attention to the importance of voting rights for all African Americans. The marchers were brutally attacked by state troopers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. John Lewis and the marchers did not abandon their cause, but instead propelled the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

This event is co-presented by the International Institute’s Conflict and Peace Initiative, Department of Psychology, National Center for Institutional Diversity, and the Rackham Program in Public Scholarship. For questions regarding the symposium, please email: MarchingForward@umich.edu.

YOU’RE INVITED!

The University of Michigan Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium is proudly one of the largest commemoration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. across the country. The symposium consists of a keynote memorial lecture public event the morning of the MLK holiday (January 15) [open to the public, not ticketed]. The efforts to determine the symposium theme, the artwork for the event booklet, and speakers for the symposium are determined from a dedicated group of students, faculty, staff and administrators across campus.

We welcome any interested individuals who are passionate about social justice, civil and human rights, and UM’s role in creating a dynamic program that honors Dr. King to attend our monthly meetings. They are informal, please attend when you would like. Each meeting focuses on finalizing a piece of the symposium events, sharing department or org events, and always reflecting on current affairs, with an emphasis on mindfulness and community.

STUDENTS! (undergrad, grad, professional, etc) We need your voice at the table!

More information about putting your event in the booklet or online, the history of speakers, and other ways to get involved, please visit mlksymposium.umich.edu hosted and sponsored by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI).

Please email mlksymposiuminfo@umich.edu if you plan on attending an upcoming meeting, so that we may have an accurate food count.

The theme for the 2018 Symposium is The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

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.

As part of the university's honoring of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Audre Lorde - The Berlin Years 1984 - 1992
MONDAY JANUARY 15, 2018
6:00 pm Hatcher Library Gallery

Audre Lorde’s incisive, often-angry, always brilliant writings and speeches defined and inspired the US-American feminist, lesbian, African-American, and Women-of-Color movements of the 1970s and 1980s. Audre Lorde - the Berlin Years 1984 to 1992 documents an untold chapter of Lorde’s life: her influence on the German political and cultural scene during a decade of profound social change. The film explores the importance of Lorde’s legacy, as she encouraged Afro-Germans—who, at that time, had no name or space for themselves—to make themselves visible within a culture that until then had kept them isolated and silent.

The film chronicles Lorde’s empowerment of Afro-German women to write and to publish, as she challenged white women to acknowledge the significance of their white privilege and to deal with difference in constructive ways. Previously unreleased archive material as well as present-day interviews explore the lasting influence of Lorde’s ideas on Germany and the impact of her work and personality. For the first time, Dagmar Schultz’s personal archival video- and audio-recordings reveal a significant part of the private Audre Lorde as well as her agenda—to rouse Afro-Germans to recognize each other.

Location: North Quad
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

In the last few months a series of “culture wars” have been ignited across the country. Activists from all points of the political spectrum, even the President of the United States himself, are turning to beloved cultural objects to stake a claim for their differing beliefs in a politically fraught moment. Black athletes are taking a knee. Anti-immigration voters are rallying for a wall. Long-standing Confederate monuments are coming down.

What is at stake in the ways we understand culture and cultural conflict? High Stakes Culture is a new series, presented by the Institute for the Humanities and the Humanities Collaboratory, that brings humanities perspectives to bear on current debates. Join us as we ask: How and why does culture matter so much now?

Join the conversation as humanities scholars Angela Dillard (Afroamerican and African studies and Residential College), Matthew Countryman (history and American culture), Mark Clague (music), and Kristin Hass (American culture) tackle these questions and others you might have about high stakesculture now.

When did sports and patriotism become so deeply linked?
Has the flag always been viewed as sacred and purely a symbol of the armed forces?
Where did the national anthem come from, and have people always stood when it is played?
Who gets to decide what symbols deserve respect and what counts as a gesture of respect?

How do we engage with those who hold and proclaim vastly differing viewpoints?

Location: Walgreen Drama Center
Organized By: CEW+

The Women of Color in the Academy Project (WOCAP) will present its 7th Annual Shirley Verrett Award on February 12th, 2018 from 5:00-6:30 p.m. at Stamps Auditorium on U-M's North Campus. The award will be given to Dr. Naomi André, an Associate Professor in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, Women’s Studies, as well as the Residential College where she serves as Associate Director for Faculty. A reception honoring Dr. André will immediately follow in the lobby.

Dr. André was selected as the recipient of this award in recognition of her scholarship and musicological inquiry into the representation of race, voice, and gender, her deep commitment to diversity as an educational mission, and her contributions to teaching and mentoring women of color scholars in the arts.

Dr. André’s publications include topics on Italian opera, Arnold Schoenberg, women composers, and teaching opera in prisons. Her forthcoming book, Black Opera, History, Power, Engagement (University of Illinois Press, Spring 2018) focuses on how opera has become a unique arena for expressing blackness and presenting new narratives about the intersections of race, gender, and nation, in the West (United States and Europe) as well as in South Africa. Her earlier books, Voicing Gender: Castrati, Travesti, and the Second Woman in Early Nineteenth-Century Italian Opera (2006) and Blackness in Opera (2012, co-edited collection) focus on opera from the nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries and explore constructions of gender, race, and identity.

The event is free and open to the public; however, registration is requested: http://www.cew.umich.edu/events/7th-annual-shirley-verrett-award-ceremony/20171113

Organized By: Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI)

YOU’RE INVITED!

The University of Michigan Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium is proudly one of the largest commemoration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. across the country. The symposium consists of a keynote memorial lecture public event the morning of the MLK holiday (January 15) [open to the public, not ticketed]. The efforts to determine the symposium theme, the artwork for the event booklet, and speakers for the symposium are determined from a dedicated group of students, faculty, staff and administrators across campus.

We welcome any interested individuals who are passionate about social justice, civil and human rights, and UM’s role in creating a dynamic program that honors Dr. King to attend our monthly meetings. They are informal, please attend when you would like. Each meeting focuses on finalizing a piece of the symposium events, sharing department or org events, and always reflecting on current affairs, with an emphasis on mindfulness and community.

STUDENTS! (undergrad, grad, professional, etc) We need your voice at the table!

More information about putting your event in the booklet or online, the history of speakers, and other ways to get involved, please visit mlksymposium.umich.edu hosted and sponsored by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI).

Please email mlksymposiuminfo@umich.edu if you plan on attending an upcoming meeting, so that we may have an accurate food count.

The theme for the 2018 Symposium is The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

She is a member of the National Press Club and is one of only three African Americans to have served on the board of the White House Correspondents Association.

She is the author of the award-winning book, The Presidency in Black & White, and her latest book, At Mama’s Knee: Race in Black & White (December 2016). Ryan is a graduate of Morgan State University and was awarded an honorary doctorate from her alma mater in 2017.

Location: Trotter Multicultural Center
Organized By: Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI)

YOU’RE INVITED!

The University of Michigan Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium is proudly one of the largest commemoration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. across the country. The symposium consists of a keynote memorial lecture public event the morning of the MLK holiday (January 15) [open to the public, not ticketed]. The efforts to determine the symposium theme, the artwork for the event booklet, and speakers for the symposium are determined from a dedicated group of students, faculty, staff and administrators across campus.

We welcome any interested individuals who are passionate about social justice, civil and human rights, and UM’s role in creating a dynamic program that honors Dr. King to attend our monthly meetings. They are informal, please attend when you would like. Each meeting focuses on finalizing a piece of the symposium events, sharing department or org events, and always reflecting on current affairs, with an emphasis on mindfulness and community.

STUDENTS! (undergrad, grad, professional, etc) We need your voice at the table!

More information about putting your event in the booklet or online, the history of speakers, and other ways to get involved, please visit mlksymposium.umich.edu hosted and sponsored by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI).

Please email mlksymposiuminfo@umich.edu if you plan on attending an upcoming meeting, so that we may have an accurate food count.

The theme for the 2018 Symposium is The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

Teach-In: Reclaiming Our Campus (March 15, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/50513 50513-11790992@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 15, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

From anti-Latinx writing on The Rock to racist posters in public spaces and residence halls, our campus stands as a microcosm of the racist attacks occurring across the nation. White supremacists have sought to bring hateful rhetoric and ideas to the heart of campus, igniting difficult conversations about speech in our classrooms, on our campus, in our virtual spaces, and within our broader social interactions.

We affirm that white supremacy and racism have no place on our campus. Allowing hate to flourish at U-M contributes to a culture of fear for members of our community. As a campus, we must take action—using our shared knowledge to learn from one another, build coalitions, and hold our institution accountable for building a just and inclusive environment.

Please join us—students, faculty, and staff—for a campus-wide teach-in as we share knowledge, unpack our experiences, and work toward reclaiming our campus. This teach-in will explore how we can mobilize, engage in activism, and discuss the role of white supremacy and speech. We also seek to uplift the voices and experiences of students, providing a space to dialogue openly with faculty, staff, and administrators in an attempt to bridge gaps and break down barriers. We welcome you to join us for all or part of the event (4-10 PM), which will feature a keynote and a variety of concurrent workshops and discussions led by members of our community.

This teach-in is part of a larger series on 2018 Speech and Inclusion: Recognizing Conflict and Building Tools for Engagement.

Sponsored by the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the National Center for Institutional Diversity, Student Life, the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.

Location: Center for the Education of Women
Organized By: CEW+

How can the body be a laboratory for examining dialogue, choice-making, roles and habits? In this interactive workshop, choreographer and King-Chavez-Parks Visiting Artist Eryn Rosenthal will share some of her research on the connections between a dance form called Contact Improvisation and the political writings of Steve Biko, Ada Colau, Paolo Freire, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, Judith Butler, and others. What can the body bring to larger discussions of dialogue-building, inclusion, resilience and empowerment?

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you can bend, move and stretch in. No experience necessary, and all bodies, abilities and backgrounds are actively welcome. This workshop includes talking, moving and listening.

Refreshments will be provided.

Choreographer and CEW Scholar Alum Eryn Rosenthal examines the democratic underpinnings of Contact Improvisation and the role of the body in transgressing previously legislated boundaries. She has worked with choreographers Sello Pesa, poet Elizabeth Alexander, and documentary theatre pioneer Anna Deavere Smith, among others. Eryn’s ongoing series The Doors Project investigates transitions–political, social, intimate–through site-based performance in different doorways around the world. Eryn holds a BA from Yale University and an MFA in Dance from U-M, where she also studied in the Ford School for Public Policy. She has performed and taught throughout the US, South Africa and Europe, and is currently teaching an interdisciplinary performance course at U-M's Residential College. She is delighted to be back at U-M as a King-Chávez-Parks Visiting Professor and Artist in Residence for Dialogue-Building, Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives. www.erynrosenthal.com

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies

Please join us for a free screening of, "And Then They Came For Us." Donna Nagata of Pychology and Matthew Stiffler of Arab & Muslim American Studies will make opening remarks. This event is free and open to the public. Popcorn and soda will be provided.

About the Film:
Seventy-five years ago, Executive Order 9066 paved the way to the profound violation of constitutional rights that resulted in the forced incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans. Featuring George Takei and many others who were incarcerated, as well as newly rediscovered photographs of Dorothea Lange, And Then They Came for Us brings history into the present, retelling this difficult story and following Japanese American activists as they speak out against the Muslim registry and travel ban. Knowing our history is the first step to ensuring we do not repeat it. And Then They Came for Us is a cautionary and inspiring tale for these dark times. Please partner with us to share this critical story.

"It was a failure of American democracy, and yet because most Americans are not aware of that dark chapter of American history, it's about to be repeated."
- George Takei, Actor and Activist

Organized By: Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI)

YOU’RE INVITED!

The University of Michigan Martin Luther King, Jr. Symposium is proudly one of the largest commemoration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. across the country. The symposium consists of a keynote memorial lecture public event the morning of the MLK holiday (January 15) [open to the public, not ticketed]. The efforts to determine the symposium theme, the artwork for the event booklet, and speakers for the symposium are determined from a dedicated group of students, faculty, staff and administrators across campus.

We welcome any interested individuals who are passionate about social justice, civil and human rights, and UM’s role in creating a dynamic program that honors Dr. King to attend our monthly meetings. They are informal, please attend when you would like. Each meeting focuses on finalizing a piece of the symposium events, sharing department or org events, and always reflecting on current affairs, with an emphasis on mindfulness and community.

STUDENTS! (undergrad, grad, professional, etc) We need your voice at the table!

More information about putting your event in the booklet or online, the history of speakers, and other ways to get involved, please visit mlksymposium.umich.edu hosted and sponsored by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI).

Please email mlksymposiuminfo@umich.edu if you plan on attending an upcoming meeting, so that we may have an accurate food count.

The theme for the 2018 Symposium is The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

Found instruments are everyday objects that are utilized or repurposed as musical instruments. This class identifies not only these everyday objects with which to perform and reconstruct, but also seeks hybrid instruments that combine found objects with instruments of old. The semester will commence with an overview of instrument categories, tunings, and some of the guiding physics behind instruments. This includes important composers and artists from the early 20th century to current artists and emerging technologies (such as using the iPhone as an instrument). The class goes as a group (and individually) to seek materials for designing and building instruments. The class also covers the basics of musicianship, composition, form, improvisation and playing as an ensemble. The culmination of the class is a presentation of our instruments and a performance in the East Quad Auditorium.

This course and performance led by Professor Michael Gould, Director, Center for World Performance Studies, Professor of Music at the School of Music, Theater and Dance, and the Residential College, LSA

This session of WeListen is open to all UM staff members. All voices and views are welcome!

PLEASE NOTE- We have reached capacity for this event. Please complete the RSVP below to be placed on the waitlist. We will contact participants from the waitlist if cancellations occur. Thank you!

RSVP here: http://myumi.ch/aVD3D

WeListen began as a student organization with the goal of sparking small-group conversations (not debates!) between people with divergent political viewpoints.
Each session aims to help participants understand the underlying values and experiences that drive others’ political views. We are proud to be hosting the first staff session of WeListen on the topic of free speech.

Free speech is a fundamental right, guaranteed for all Americans. However, Richard Spencer’s recent request to speak on campus has some questioning if free speech should have limits. His request has raised questions including: how is hate speech defined? Are protests that infringe on others' First Amendment rights justified? How can campuses effectively manage requests from controversial speakers?

Our aim is to bring liberals, conservatives, libertarians, and everyone across the political spectrum together for a constructive conversation about free speech. The goal of WeListen discussions is not to debate or argue, but to understand the views and values of others and to learn from their perspectives.

Lunch will be served!

This event is co-sponsored by the the Ginsberg Center, LSA Dean's Office, and LSA Psychology.
