This year's keynote speaker will be April Ryan, American Urban Radio Networks DC Bureau Chief. This morning keynote session is open to the public and no registration is required to attend the lecture.

Ryan has a unique vantage point as the only black female reporter covering urban issues from the White House, a position she has held since the Clinton era.

Since 1997, she has served as a White House correspondent and is the Washington, D.C., bureau chief for American Urban Radio Networks. In 2017, she joined CNN as a political analyst. In May 2017, the National Association of Black Journalists named Ryan as the "Journalist of the Year".

Ryan has been a member of the White House press corps for American Urban Radio Networks since January 1997 and has long been the only black female reporter among the White House correspondents. 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.

U-M MLK Symposium Cross-Campus Planning Meeting (March 8, 2018 11:45am) https://events.umich.edu/event/44869 44869-9992128@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 8, 2018 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.

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.

Have you ever had a constructive conversation with someone who has a different political identity or political perspective than you? Can you imagine building a bridge across political difference?

Keeping it Real: Authentic Political Dialogue - a workshop series for U-M students who are interested in productive conversations across the political spectrum and social identities.

Keeping it Real: Authentic Political Dialogue - a workshop series for U-M students who are interested in productive conversations across the political spectrum and social identities.

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

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: Spectrum Center

Please join the Spectrum Center for a panel discussing what it means to be an LGBTQ+ person and a person of faith. Oftentimes LGBTQ+ folx experience harm from religious/spiritual institutions. Similarly, folx may find that they don’t have spaces within the LGBTQ+ community to speak about their faith identities. We will bring together local LGBTQ+ faith leaders to speak to their own experiences on how they navigate these identities to find community and create inclusive spaces for others.

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

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.

Guns in America: A WeListen Staff Session (June 29, 2018 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/52586 52586-12868028@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, June 29, 2018 11:00am

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

RSVP here: https://myumi.ch/a850r

The Second Amendment grants us the “right to bear arms,” but the regulation of guns is constantly a topic of debate. Many voices have called for stronger gun control measures following acts of gun violence and mass shootings that have drawn national attention. Would increased regulation conflict with the guaranteed right of the Second Amendment? What truly constitutes "common sense" gun control? How should the United States interpret the Second Amendment today? Come to this WeListen Staff Session to learn about the current legislation and regulations regarding guns and to practice having conversations around this complex topic.

By participating in WeListen sessions, staff members will:
- Practice discussing difficult topics with others,
- Gain openness to new ideas and perspectives,
- Learn to productively challenge an idea, and
- Form a sense of community among fellow staff members.

Our aim is to bring liberals, conservatives, libertarians- everyone across the political spectrum- together for a constructive conversation about guns in America. 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. The session will begin with a brief content presentation to provide a basic understanding of the topic. No specific level of knowledge is required to participate in WeListen discussions!

Lunch will be served!

This event is co-sponsored by the the Ginsberg Center and LSA Psychology.

-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.-

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University of Michigan Law School

A star-studded group of former members of the U.S. Solicitor General’s Office will explore the possibility of drawing lessons from that institution for how to approach the hardest discussions on campus. The panel will draw on the framework, ethos, and practice of the Solicitor General’s office to explore insights on how students, faculty, and staff can approach controversial issues on campus—and in particular listening, analyzing, tackling, and responding to arguments on the other side. The panel will seek to offer meaningful reflections on the lifelong process of understanding and responding to deeply controversial arguments, even those that are—to some or many—odious.

Panelists:
- Paul D. Clement, Partner, Kirkland & Ellis, and Distinguished Lecturer in Law, Georgetown University Law Center
Solicitor General, 2005-08
- Charles Fried, Beneficial Professor of Law, Harvard Law School

High Stakes Culture (September 20, 2018 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/55253 55253-13707129@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 20, 2018 5:30pm
Location: North Quad
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

We are in a moment in which a ‘culture war’—in large part about race—has been ignited and is being stoked daily by activists across the political spectrum and by the President of the United States himself. This high stakes culture war is playing out across digital media in ways that we need to better understand.

Please join us for a conversation about Childish Gambino’s “This is America” and the sprawling, contentious conversation it sparked across the internet. What is he trying to say? How did the internet respond? How are our meaning making practices evolving? Why does culture matter so much now to so many, and who gets to decide what it means?

Come talk to humanities scholars Megan Ankerson (communication studies), Anita Gonzalez (theater), Robin Wilson (dance), Stephen Berrey (American culture & history), and moderator Angela Dillard (Afroamerican and African studies & Residential College) about these questions and others you might have about Childish Gambino’s America and yours.

About the High Stakes Culture Series:

For the second year, the High Stakes Culture series explores the “culture wars” that have recently 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 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?

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute members and their guests are dedicated to learning, but in our complex world it’s hard to separate the real information from the noise, making us polarized around political issues. This panel discussion for those 50 and above featuring U-M scholars Jack Bernard, U-M Associate General Counsel and Anne Berg, Lecturer, U-M History Department will help us unravel these barriers and appreciate the value of a broader and more receptive perspective, the critical role played by free speech, and how we can productively engage others.

A Q&A period will follow the discussion.

Registration is required and capacity is limited.

Lost in Translation: The Architecture and/of Chinese Edition (October 3, 2018 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/55224 55224-13700533@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 3, 2018 5:00pm
Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: Graduate Rackham International

Have you ever wondered how architecture sounds in Chinese? Or questioned if the language of architecture would sound any more esoteric if it were in Chinese? Does linguistic difference matter? What is lost and what is gained when designspeak traverses the Chinese-English divide? How does the medium of design discourse affect its content? Is graphic communication the great equalizer? Is architecture sinicizable? Do you doubt that these are answerable questions? Find out on October 3rd, 5–7pm, at the Taubman College Commons.

In 1922, philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein declared that “the limits of my language mean the limits of my world." With the globally-connected community at the University of Michigan in mind, we invite you to an exploration of the cross-cultural academic expressive production that accompanies thinking and writing from a non-English background. Taking the University of Michigan as a case study, we hope to engage questions of scholarship and public expression incubated in the globalized environment that is the contemporary American university. Rather than focusing on the mechanics of English as a Second Language or as a lingua franca, we seek a discussion around scholarly expression in a multicultural, globalized academia.

Panelists:
FU Liangyu, Communications & Media Studies
WANG Jieqiong, Architecture & Urban Studies
William THOMSON, Anthropology & Architecture
ZHANG Fang, Fine Arts, Design, & Economics

Hors d'oeuvres to be served.
All are welcome!
No registration is required but please RSVP so we can provide enough food for everyone.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Human Resources

Jennifer Brea's Sundance award-winning documentary, Unrest, is a personal journey from patient to advocate to storyteller. Jennifer is 28, working on her PhD at Harvard, and months away from marrying the love of her life when a mysterious fever leaves her bedridden. When doctors tell her it's "all in her head," she picks up her camera as an act of defiance and brings us into a hidden world of millions that medicine abandoned.

The Eagle and The Condor - From Standing Rock With Love (October 8, 2018 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/55903 55903-13805066@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 8, 2018 7:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Multi Ethnic Student Affairs - MESA

This film will premiere on Indigenous People’s Day - Monday October 8th - on Free Speech TV and in communities across Turtle Island, the U.S., Canada and Europe. At U-M, the free screening will take place in the Forum Hall (Palmer Commons).

Film Description:
From 2016 – 2017 Standing Rock water protection camps located at the heart of Turtle Island became the largest assembly of Indigenous peoples in recent history. Gathered nations confronted big energy’s extreme extraction through the strength of their ceremonies, histories, and connections. Despite being met with violence, many who brought their best intentions to this historic fight continue to expand their love and sovereignty - while they shift our world away from the trauma and isolation of modern days.

The film is based around prophecy of the Eagle and Condor that originates with nations from the South and features ceremony held at the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) site on Indigenous People’s Day, October 10th, 2016. The ancient prophecy predicted the epic Standing Rock water protection actions – and continues to challenge all to identify and unite our gifts and power.

Location: Hutchins Hall
Organized By: University of Michigan Law School

A star-studded group of former members of the U.S. Solicitor General’s Office will explore the possibility of drawing lessons from that institution for how to approach the hardest discussions on campus. The panel will draw on the framework, ethos, and practice of the Solicitor General’s office to explore insights on how students, faculty, and staff can approach controversial issues on campus—and in particular listening, analyzing, tackling, and responding to arguments on the other side. The panel will seek to offer meaningful reflections on the lifelong process of understanding and responding to deeply controversial arguments, even those that are—to some or many—odious.

Panelists:
- Paul D. Clement, Partner, Kirkland & Ellis, and Distinguished Lecturer in Law, Georgetown University Law Center
Solicitor General, 2005-08
- Charles Fried, Beneficial Professor of Law, Harvard Law School
Solicitor General, 1985-89

Salute to Latinas: (October 11, 2018 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56366 56366-13889939@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 11, 2018 7:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Delta Tau Lambda Sorority, Inc.

The Salute to Latinas: Fuerza de la Mujer Latina has been Delta Tau Lambda Sorority Incorporated’s signature event for twenty-four years and was created to honor the accomplishments and strengths of all Latina women and women of color. Each year we celebrate our history, cultures, and diversity with pride. We strive to find speakers that are well respected in the community. Additionally, we take this opportunity to announce and celebrate the winner of our Lydia Cruz & Sandra Maria Ramos Scholarship for young emerging Latina leaders. We also award the “Diamond Award” to a woman dedicated to performing above and beyond in community service and the improvement of the Latino community. The night is focused on celebrating our accomplishments and reflecting on how to collectively improve the conditions of the community. The event ends with a special tribute to Latinas and all women of color, which varies from spoken word to cultural performances.
Throughout history, many nations were colonized by European imperialists. During colonization, indigenous cultures and mannerisms were disrupted and subject to transformations that set up unrealistic standards without proper representation of women of color. We will educate the campus community about this misrepresentation and the significance of bringing awareness to the issue. This year’s theme, “Radiance in Color”, will be celebrated through poetry, amazing guest speakers, and a diverse array of cultural foods, awards. At the end of the night, we will host a gallery portraying women of color dismantling idealized white standards that govern women in different aspects of life. We will have a professional guest speaker discuss the importance of women of color and the negative effect of enforcing white standards. Most importantly, our goal is to recognize and celebrate the components of what makes a woman and what makes a Latina. By doing so, we will educate and empower Latinos and other campus communities to respect and honor women as well as be aware of and/or take action against the many oppressions held against women globally.

RSVP here: http://myumi.ch/6QKOZ

Join us at this WeListen Staff Session to learn about the debate surrounding marijuana legalization and to participate in small group discussions about this complex topic. Our aim is to bring liberals, conservatives, libertarians- everyone across the political spectrum- together for constructive conversation. 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. The session will begin with a brief content presentation to provide a basic understanding of the topic. No specific level of knowledge is required to participate in WeListen discussions.


By participating in WeListen sessions, staff members will:
- Expand understanding of a prominent political topic
- Practice discussing difficult topics with others,
- Gain openness to new ideas and perspectives,
- Learn to productively challenge an idea, and
- Form a sense of community among fellow staff members.

Questions? Email us at welistenstaff@umich.edu.

This event is co-sponsored by the UM Office of DEI and the LSA DEI Implementation Leads. The planning committee includes staff members from the Ginsberg Center, the LSA Dean's Office, LSA History, LSA Psychology, the Office of Communtiy-Engaged Academic Learning, and the Michigan Community Scholars Program.

Telling Our Own Stories: A Visual Storytelling Workshop on Disability Life at U-M (October 18, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/55827 55827-13779925@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 18, 2018 12:00pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Human Resources

Panelists: Victor Strecher, Ph.D., Professor, Health Behavior & Health Education and Director for Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship; and Patricia F. Anderson, Emerging Technologies Informationist for the Health Sciences; with surprise special guests.

Comics allow us to explain feelings and events in ways that bridge time and space and identity in unexpected ways. Comics can give us a way to tell stories we might not tell in other ways, or which might not be heard if we did. In this two part workshop, we’ll first hear from people about why and how comics worked for their stories, followed by a workshop activity for artists and storytellers to collaborate on telling stories about life with disabilities.

The Council for Disability Concerns produces an annual series of events designed to raise awareness of disability topics on campus and in our community. The events are presented by the University of Michigan Council for Disability Concerns in collaboration with University Human Resources, Michigan Medicine, and University Health Service. All events are free and everyone is welcome. If accommodations are needed, contact disability@umich.edu at least one week in advance.

Mental Health While Abroad (November 14, 2018 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57149 57149-14121953@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 14, 2018 5:30pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Center for Global and Intercultural Study

We know that mental health concerns are only increasing amongst college students around the country, with many students at UM experiencing anxiety, depression or other mental health challenges on a daily basis. Yet, mental health is so often an unspoken part of the study abroad experience. CGIS, Active Minds, and IPE are partnering for this presentation / panel discussion event in hopes to increase pre-departure awareness of this important topic.

This panel is geared toward our students going abroad and the educators supporting their travels. We will both provide resources and advice, as well as have study abroad alumni share their personal experiences.

CEW+Inspire Workshop Series – Gender Revolution in the Trump Era: Transformations in Consciousness and Gender Relations (November 15, 2018 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56377 56377-13894477@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 15, 2018 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

Explore the rapid transformation in gender consciousness and gender relations during this workshop with Dr. Pamela Aronson. Attendees will discuss changes stemming from three primary sources: the rise of women running for political office in 2018, the emergence of new social movement activism, and the creation of the “#MeToo” movement, which has sparked a new public discourse on sexual assault and harassment. While exploring the ways that this new consciousness has also faced backlash and opposition, this workshop will shed light on the emerging gender revolution by examining how rapid transformations are influencing everyday relationships between men and women. A hands-on wellness activity will be presented by the CEW+ Inspire team to complement this workshop. The discussion will be followed by a networking reception.

Free and open to the public. Please register by November 8th.

About the Presenter: Pamela Aronson is Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. Her research examines how inequalities impact identities and the life course. Past research has considered young women’s transition to adulthood, perception of role models, work and family orientations, and attitudes toward feminism. She also studies class and gender differences in the experience of postsecondary education and career development. Gender and feminist consciousness, as well as the impact of internalized misogyny in electoral politics, are the focus of her new research project.
