How do curatorial works and memorial sites simultaneously serve as tools for constructing national identities and as materials in a state’s claim for transnational reputation? How can we frame these questions in the context of post-dictatorial nations and their contested heritage? Looking at the two different cases of Ukraine and Spain, this presentation will unravel the multiplicity of ways in which cultural artifacts and narratives become the very sites for these discussions and crystalize the impact of these often violent legacies.
Co-presentation by Grace Mahoney (PhD candidate, Slavic Languages & Literatures) and Felix Zamora-Gomez (PhD candidate, Romance Languages & Literatures)

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

Globalization isn’t dead, but it increasingly has to do more with trading ideas and services than with moving metal containers stuffed with manufactured goods. This talk will discuss how globalization is changing and why.
Marc Levinson is an independent historian, economist, and journalist whose career has centered on making complex economic issues understandable to the general public. Marc spent many years as an economic journalist, including a turn as finance and economics editor of The Economist in London. Returning to New York, he worked as an economist for J.P. Morgan Chase, developing a unique industry economics function and then initiating the bank’s environmental research for stock and bond investors. He later served as a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. His books include the business classic The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger; The Great A&P and the Struggle for Small Business in America, which won wide praise from across the political spectrum for exploring the tension between capitalism and competition in the U.S. economy; and An Extraordinary Time, showing how the sudden end of the postwar boom in the early 1970s led voters in many countries to turn away from activist government in favor of free-market ideas. He will be speaking about his latest book, Outside the Box, a lively history of globalization and its consequences.

The Population Dynamics and Health Program resumes our 2020 workshop series on Nov. 18th, with a workshop entitled Principles of Text Analysis, presented by Patrick van Kessel, senior data scientist at Pew Research Center. This half-day workshop is geared toward data analysts with unstructured text data (e.g. open-ended survey responses or web-curated text), and will provide a tutorial on cleaning, processing, and analyzing data from text-based sources using state-of-the-art text analytics techniques primarily using Python, with some examples also provided in R (experience with either of these languages is recommended but not required).

Topics include:

* Preprocessing and cleaning messy text data
* Feature extraction using TF-IDF vectorization
* Text analytics techniques including topic modelling and unsupervised clustering methods
* Software demonstration featuring the scikitlearn library for Python.

Abstract: Survey research has for many years tracking the ‘mood’ of the country. That measure has been useful for understanding trends in economic and political behavior. But where does ‘mood’ come from? And are there other ways to capture the mood of the country? This presentation explores the potential for a media-based measure of mood, explored both as a driver and reflection of pubic attitudes. Media mood is estimating using automated content analytic techniques on a very large corpus of full-text news content. Time series analysis is used to explore differences across news outlets, and the relationship between media content and public opinion from 1990 to the present.

Bio: Stuart Soroka is the Michael W. Traugott Collegiate Professor of Communication and Media & Political Science, and Research Professor in the Center for Political Studies at the Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan. His research focuses on political communication, the sources and/or structure of public preferences for policy, and the relationships between public policy, public opinion, and mass media.

Impact of COVID-19 on Service Workers: Work Experiences & Concerns of food retail, food services, and hospitality workers (November 24, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79384 79384-20288598@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 24, 2020 12:00pm

Marie-Anne Rosemberg is an assistant professor in UM's School of Nursing.
ABSTRACT
Objectives: COVID-19 presents a unique burden specifically for workers in service industries not only because they are disproportionately at risk for contracting the virus but also because of their work-related burdens. We aimed to understand the impact of COVID-19 on these workers.
Methods: This was a mixed-method study with a congruent triangulation design. Participants were recruited through social media. Each interview lasted up to 20 minutes. The survey data included demographic questions along with items from the CAGE and PC-PTSD questionnaires.
Results: Twenty-seven individuals completed audio-recorded phone interviews and 28 completed the survey. Participants were mostly women with an age range between 19 and 65. Participants worked in food retail (n=23), restaurant (n=25), and hospitality (n=7) industries. Length of time on the job ranged from two months to 25 years and 60% of the participants worked full time. Participants reported experiencing symptoms of depression and maladaptive coping. Job insecurity, change of job tasks, and work hours were the most common ways that COVID-19 affected the workers. Themes that emerged about participant’s concerns included being infected and/or unknowingly infecting others, the unknown, isolation, and work and customer demands. Constant changes relating to communication and protection measures were a major source of stress. There was discordance in the perceived level of threat of COVID-19. Most participants reported that their workplace complied with their state’s mandates for protection measures. While others reported lacking basic supplies such as soap, hand sanitizer, and masks.
Conclusions: In addition to their work experiences, COVID-19 has affected service workers at the financial, physical and mental levels. This study has implications of employers, occupational health and safety professionals and policy stakeholders.

CREES Noon Lecture. Curating Covid: Material and Visual Cultures of the Pandemic (December 2, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79257 79257-20241311@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 2, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

While there is so far no known cure for Covid and the disease continues to kill thousands daily around the globe, humanity has spent the better part of this year attempting to make do – some by doing their best to protect themselves and their loved ones as they continue to perform the work essential to their survival or deemed essential by society; others, by sheltering in place, reducing the radius of our daily activities, developing new routines. How will we know and remember all this? Who is the chronicler of Covid, who are its curators? What will be the sources, not of the political histories and for future medical research, but for narrating the pandemic as experience, for explaining its everyday reality to future generations?

This panel of brief presentations aims to prompt our collective thinking about a Covid archive, and how it will be constructed. Presenters from different disciplines and national backgrounds will be asked to share images or objects that bring our pandemic present into focus and allow us to explore together questions for the future: who is collecting what? What are the objects in which our daily experience materializes, and which might speak to the future? Where and how does the pandemic leave its traces in our visual cultures, and (how) do these differ depending on national contexts? The virus itself knows no borders, but can we discern transnational and global patterns in our responses in an increasingly fractured world?

SPEAKERS

Alexandra Arkhipova is senior research fellow and head of the Contemporary Folklore Monitoring Research Group at the School of Advanced Studies in the Humanities, Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration in Moscow, Russia. She is also a professor at the Russian State University for the Humanities and the Russian School of Economics. She is a leading expert on political jokes, rumors, and legends, on the concept of money in traditional society, and on the folklore of protest. Her research group is currently engaged in a multi-year study of “infodemia,” the World Health Organization’s term for the spate of false and potentially dangerous misinformation that flows through and infects the public discourse much like a viral pandemic. Dr. Arkhipova’s book *Dangerous Soviet Things: Urban Legends and Fear in the USSR,* written with Anna Kirzyuk, won the Liberal Mission Foundation’s 2020 Prize for the best analysis of current events.

Sara Blair is Patricia S. Yaeger Collegiate Professor of English at the University of Michigan. Her publications include *How the Other Half Looks: The Lower East Side and the Afterlives of Images*; *Harlem Crossroads: Black Writers and the Photograph in the Twentieth Century*; *Remaking Reality: U.S. Documentary Culture after 1945*, co-edited with Joseph Entin and Franny Nudelman; and *Trauma and Documentary Photography of the FSA*, co-authored with Eric Rosenberg. She has collaborated with curators at the DIA, the International Center of Photography, and the Addison Gallery of American Art, served as consultant to a range of photographic projects and exhibitions, and curated exhibitions at U-M’s Institute for the Humanities and the Middlebury Art Museum. Her current work focuses on the lives of the image as material object and aesthetic form from the advent of photography through the digital era.

Sarah Gensburger is a research professor in social sciences at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). Working at the intersection of memory studies, public policies analysis and micro-history of the Holocaust, she is the author of eight books. The most recent ones are *Memory on my doorstep. Chronicles of the Bataclan Beighborhood (Paris, 2015-2016)*; and *Beyond Memory. Can we really learn from the past?* (co-written with S. Lefranc). For some time now, she has also been developing public history and sociology projects such as the podcast collection "It Happened Here." Starting in April 2020, Gensburger developed the collaborative project "#Windows in Lockdown" in collaboration with Marta Severo, professor of media studies, University Paris Nanterre.

Alexandra M. Lord is chair of the Medicine and Science Division at the National Museum of American History and a curator of the history of medicine. She received her A.B. from Vassar College and her Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She is the recipient of various fellowships, including most recently a Fulbright Fellowship, as well as awards for her book, *Condom Nation: The US Government’s Sex Education Campaign from World War I to the Internet*. She has spoken on the history of medicine in venues ranging from the History Channel to academic conferences, Planned Parenthood, and The PBS Newshour. Between 2016 and 2018, she was president of the National Council on Public History, the nation’s largest public history organization. Currently, she serves on the executive committee of the American Council of Learned Societies and the Landmarks Committee of the National Park Service.

Given the urgency of our times to promote social justice, Jay Crisostomo (MES, UM), Kristina Richardson (History, CUNY), and Bryan Roby (Judaic Studies, UM) will reflect on their experience of systemic racism, sexism, and homophobia in Middle East Studies. Much critique has been voiced by Ethnic Studies and Gender & Women’s Studies programs about structural inequalities in the academy, yet we have remained silent about the peculiar forms of discrimination that inhabit ME Studies. How can we raise awareness and practice social justice in our teaching, research, and professional activities? Join us for a conversation on intolerance in the field of Middle East Studies.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Residential College

You're invited to join our senior Social Theory & Practice (STP) majors as they present their thesis research on topics ranging from sustainable food in MDining to dialectical steps toward non-capitalism, Tuesday December 8 from 4:10 - 5:30pm at https://umich.zoom.us/j/97960464467.

The Residential College STP major supports students in developing the analytical and practical skills necessary for active engagement in the world and for building careers that promote equality and responsible citizenship. Students learn theories, methods, and strategies that enable them to understand and critique social structures and processes, and choose a focus of study that can encompass sociology, political science, history, anthropology, economics, education, environmental justice, sustainable agriculture, geography, and psychology to approach current issues in U.S. society and the global environment. Like our students, no two STP major plans are alike.

THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF BIOMEDICAL DATA COLLECTIONS (December 21, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79454 79454-20327789@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 21, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Abstract:

The landscape of biomedical data is incredibly complex, rich, and rapidly changing, especially as we navigate the influx of data from the COVID-19 pandemic. More and more data is moving to the cloud, both existing and newly generated, with multiple cloud providers adding to the complexity. The data includes Electronic Health Records (EHRs), genomic data, and imaging/sensed data (e.g., pictures of tumors, lungs, cells, gas chromatographs), and all this data is enabling us to delve much deeper into complex biological concepts, for example, the relationship between phenotypes and genotypes. The NHLBI BioData Catalyst project is one example of a coordinated effort to move vast amounts of data into the cloud, navigating the complexities of data ingestion, diverse and widespread teams, and multiple cloud providers/environments.

On top of the massive shift to being able to apply huge amounts of data to better understand individuals, populations and, ultimately, life itself, we need a way to organize all this information. The activities in the NCATS Biomedical Data Translator project can be viewed as a constantly evolving analysis of the relationships of disparate data sets. In a sense, Translator is like Google for searching biomedical data.

My talk will introduce both projects and their respective impacts on biomedical research.

We will discuss Chapter 3: "Clare's Commonable Plants." Kindly RSVP to Sarah Van Cleve (srvc@umich.edu) to receive the pre-circulated reading materials.

Theresa Kelley's Clandestine Marriage delves into Romantic representations of botanizing culture, exploring in particular the role botany played in larger Romantic-era debates about life and the ability to know, categorize, and depict its various forms. The chapter we will read focuses on the unsettling perspective brought by John Clare's plant poetry; often considered a poet of place and of enclosure, Clare's refusal to use Linnaean plant names is characterized by Kelley as a small act of poetic and quasi-scientific rebellion. Kelley thus links what she calls "Clare's Commonable Plants" and his resistance toward what he saw as the authoritarian Linnaean system to a retroactive resistance to the similarly authoritarian system of enclosure and the damage it wrought on rural communities.

The Clements Bookworm: Art, Food, and the Politics of Race in the Age of American Expansion (January 15, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/80391 80391-20713708@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 15, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Still-life paintings of food look innocent at first sight, but were depictions of food merely delicious and pretty pictures to admire? Shana Klein's new book, "The Fruits of Empire," argues otherwise. This book talk will address Klein's research on representations of food to understand how they reflected and shaped conversations about race and national expansion in the United States. She will discuss the paintings, photographs, and silverware objects in the book and ask: Who do images of food serve? And at whose expense? The results are not always delicious.

Dr. Klein, Assistant Professor of Art History at Kent State University, is trained in the history of American art, with sub-specialties in African-American and Native-American art.

This episode was generously sponsored by Duane and Marilyn Kirking.

*The Clements Bookworm is a webinar series in which panelists discuss history topics. Recommended books, articles, and other resources are provided in each session. Inspired by the traditional Clements Library researcher tea time, we invite you to pull up a chair at our [virtual] table. Live attendees are encouraged to post comments and questions, respond to polls, and add to our conversation and camaraderie.*

Bodies represent the sites of socially constructed differences and power relations. As such, the personal is political, and bodies are subject to political interpretations. Body politics based on racial (and/or ethnic) ascriptions (along with other intersecting elements such as sex, gender, sexuality, age, social class, ability, etc.) have adversely affected the overall health and wellness of bodies of Color in general, and Black bodies in particular - impacting their abilities, opportunities, access (inclusion/exclusion), care/treatment, and the overall nature of their lived experiences. Consequently, racialed body politics have contributed to an array of health disparities being more pronounced in communities of Color. However, movement offers a variety of health benefits and is therefore, a source of empowerment for racially politicized bodies.

This event will feature a keynote presentation by Dr. Monique Butler, U-M Kinesiology alumna and Chief Medical Officer for HCA Healthcare North Florida Division. She will address the theme "Where Do We Go From Here: Body Politics and Movement Towards Racial Empowerment."

This event is sponsored by the U-M Health Sciences units and hosted by the School of Kinesiology.

To combat COVID-19, clinicians and scientists all need to digest the vast amount of relevant biomedical knowledge in literature to understand the disease mechanism and the related biological functions. The first challenge is quantity. For example, nearly 2.7K new papers are published at PubMed per day. This knowledge bottleneck causes significant delay in the development of vaccines and drugs for COVID-19. The second challenge is quality due to the rise and rapid, extensive publications of preprint manuscripts without pre-publication peer review. Many research results about coronavirus from different research labs and sources are redundant, complementary or event conflicting with each other.

Let’s consider drug repurposing as a case study. Besides the long process of clinical trial and biomedical experiments, another major cause for the long process is the complexity of the problem involved and the difficulty in drug discovery in general. The current clinical trials for drug re-purposing mainly rely on symptoms by considering drugs that can treat diseases with similar symptoms. However, there are too many drug candidates and too much misinformation published from multiple sources. In addition to a ranked list of drugs, clinicians and scientists also aim to gain new insights into the underlying molecular cellular mechanisms on Covid-19, and which pre-existing conditions may affect the mortality and severity of this disease.

To tackle these two challenges, we have developed a novel and comprehensive knowledge discovery framework, COVID-KG, to accelerate scientific discovery and build a bridge between clinicians and biology scientists. COVID-KG starts by reading existing papers to build multimedia knowledge graphs (KGs), in which nodes are entities/concepts and edges represent relations involving these entities, extracted from both text and images. Given the KGs enriched with path ranking and evidence mining, COVID-KG answers natural language questions effectively. Using drug repurposing as a case study, for 11 typical questions that human experts aim to explore, we integrate our techniques to generate a comprehensive report for each candidate drug. Preliminary assessment by expert clinicians and medical school students show our generated reports are informative and sound. I will also talk about our ongoing work to extend this framework to other domains including molecular synthesis and agriculture.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Facebook page.

Ayana Evans will talk about her trajectory of her work, including her new work of performance art for video "You Better Be Good to Me” (with performances by students from SMTD, the UM Cheer Team, and Detroit artists, and costumes by Dressing Up and Down students). "You Better Be Good to Me” will premiere as part of the program.

Ayana Evans is a NYC based performance artist who grew up on the south side of Chicago. The sensibilities of both locations heavily influence her work with the body, race relations, and gender bias.  Roberta Fallon, co-founder of Artblog, describes Ms. Evans as, “one part Wonder Woman, one part agent provocateur.” And writer Seph Rodney of Hyperallergic and the New York Times wrote: “I have seen [this] artist actually stop traffic on the Bowery in downtown Manhattan in 2016, where, in a floor-length lace gown, a dollar-store tiara and full makeup, she placed a chair in the street to do chair dips.”

Evans began her career as a painter earning her MFA from Tyler School of Art at Temple University and her BA in Visual Arts from Brown University. During the summer of 2016 Evans completed her installment of the residency, "Back in Five Minutes" at El Museo Del Barrio in NYC. The next year she completed a endurance-based 10-hour, citywide performance and 100-person performative dinner party at the Barnes Foundation in 2017 for "A Person of the Crowd,” a major performance art survey featuring artists such as, Marina Abramovic, Tania Bruguera, and William Pope L. in Philadelphia, PA. Her international work includes participation in: FIAP performance festival in Martinique, The Pineapple Show at Tiwani Contemporary in London, and Ghana's Chale Wote festival, which drew 30,000 people. Evans has received numerous fellowships and awards including: Studio Immersion Fellowship Program at EFA’s Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop (2018); Artists Alliance Inc (2018); Franklin Furnace Fund for performance art (2017-2018); New York Foundation of the Arts Fellow for Interdisciplinary Arts (2018); and an artist in resident for Art on the Vine at Martha's Vineyard (2019). In addition to her numerous guerilla street performances, Evans has performed at the Queens Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum, Newark Museum, and the Bronx Museum. During 2018 and 2019 Evans had three solo exhibitions with Medium Tings Gallery (Brooklyn), Cuchifritos Gallery (NYC) and the EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop with New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) at Governors Island, NY. She has been featured in The New York Times, Bomb Magazine, ArtNet, The Cut, Hyperallergic, and CNN. Evans is currently an adjunct professor at Brown University.

During the Fall 2020 semester, Evans created a new work of performance art for video as part of the Stamps School’s Witt Visiting Artist program. A video of the performance "You Better Be Good to Me,” will premiere as part of the program.

COMPUTER VISION: WHO IS HELPED AND WHO IS HARMED? (January 25, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79537 79537-20373074@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 25, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Computer vision has ceased to be a purely academic endeavor. From law enforcement, to border control, to employment, healthcare diagnostics, and assigning trust scores, computer vision systems are being rapidly integrated into all aspects of society. In research, there are works that purport to determine a person’s sexuality from their social network profile images, others that claim to classify “violent individuals” from drone footage. These works were published in high impact journals, and some were presented at workshops in top tier computer vision conferences such as CVPR.

A critical public discourse surrounding the use of computer-vision based technologies has also been mounting. For example, the use of facial recognition technologies by policing agencies has been heavily critiqued and, in response, companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, and IBM have pulled or paused their facial recognition software services. Gender Shades showed that commercial gender classification systems have high disparities in error rates by skin-type and gender, and other works discuss the harms caused by the mere existence of automatic gender recognition systems. Recent papers have also exposed shockingly racist and sexist labels in popular computer vision datasets–resulting in the removal of some. In this talk, I will highlight some of these issues and proposed solutions to mitigate bias, as well as how some of the proposed fixes could exacerbate the problem rather than mitigate it.

Join us THURSDAY January 28 at 11:30 am for our first VIRTUAL SEMINAR of 2021.

Abstract:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, authorities must decide which groups to prioritize for vaccination in an evolving landscape where infection dynamics and population mitigating behavior are mutually connected in a feedback loop (i.e., human-environment interactions). Moreover, if we discover that vaccines prevent not only disease but also transmission, authorities must factor vaccine indirect protection (vaccine-generated herd immunity) into their considerations, which sometimes suggest a strategy of targeting groups that cause the most transmission. In this talk we will use a mathematical model to address the question: which age group should be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination in order to prevent the most deaths? We developed an age-structured human-environment mathematical model for Ontario, Canada, where evolutionary game theory describes how population adherence to non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) responds to case incidence. Schools and workplaces are also closed and re-opened based on reported cases. We compared strategies of vaccinating 60+ year-olds first; <20 year-olds first; uniformly by age; and a novel contact-based strategy. The last three strategies interrupt transmission while the first targets a vulnerable group. The model shows realistic dynamics whereby case notifications, NPI adherence, and lockdown undergo successive waves that interact with timing of the vaccine program to determine the relative effectiveness of the four strategies. We identify a parameter regime where transmission-interrupting strategies are more effective in preventing deaths than prioritizing older age groups. We conclude that using SARS-CoV-2 vaccines to interrupt transmission may prevent more deaths than prioritizing vulnerable age groups, depending on the time course of the pandemic in a given population.

In this lecture, Kaan Üçsu (Istanbul University) deals with Abu Bakr al-Dimashqî’s geography through his translation of Joan Blaeu’s (d. 1673) Atlas Maior. The book was presented to Mehmed IV as a gift by the Dutch ambassador to Istanbul in 1668. Following it, Abu Bakr al-Dimashqî (d. 1691), a university professor and geographer, embarked on its translation, which would take roughly 10 years and result in a ten-volume translation and a summary translation of two volumes.

This lecture will locate the translation into a larger geographical literature within the Ottoman Empire and beyond.

You are invited to the new DSI’s research group, “The Digital Underground: Theory+Practice” (DIG-undr). "DIG-undr" is a project of the Tangent Lab, an open-ended research collective founded by Imani Cooper Mkandawire (DSI+Comparative Literature) and Irina Aristarkhova (DSI+Stamps School) to imagine and engender inclusive machines. Our group seeks to mine affinities and tensions between digital theory and various forms of practice (industry, art, design, activism), as well as the academy and its “outside” (the publics, the users, digital infrastructure).

The group will meet once a month in January, February, March and April 2021. This is an open research group and our first meeting will be on January 28, 2021, 2-4 pm on Zoom. At this first meeting we will discuss pressing research challenges related to theory+practice configurations, unique intellectual community around theory+practice collaborations at the DSI, and brainstorm a collective project. In Winter 2021, we are particularly interested in digital theory around AI, data science, machine learning, social robots, VR/AR and art, architecture, design and activism (democracy, racial justice, feminism, social change). Please see the poster attached herewith.

Co-sponsoring this event is U-M Ross Buisness + Impact, Central Student Government, LSA-English Language and Literature, Michigan Law, Center For Engeneering Diversity and Outreach, and the School of Music, Theatre & Dance. This conversation will be moderated by Associate Professor from the Department of Theatre & Drama, School of Music, Theatre & Dance Dr. Antonio C. Cuyler (Kyler) (He). He will be joined by the following panelist (BSU Vice Speaker Cydney Gardner-Brown, Turn Turn Out President Josiah Walker, and Vice Provost for Equity & Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer Office of the Provost Dr. Robert Sellers).

Ms. Brown is a 2020-2021 Hauser Leader at the Center for Public Leadership and a 2020-2021 American Democracy Fellow at Harvard’s Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History. Throughout the 2020 U.S. election, Ms. Brown led the We Got the Power bus tour across the U.S. South to register people to vote and galvanize Black voter participation. In a recent interview, Ms. Brown said “We wanted people, we wanted Black voters in particular, to feel a sense of their power and their agency, and in spite of all odds, what we could do in pushing this country forward.

Ms. Brown is also an award-winning thought leader, social strategist, philanthropic consultant, jazz singer, and catalyst for change. As co-founder of the Black Voters Matter Fund, Ms. Brown is dedicated to increasing the political power of Black people. She has more than twenty years of experience working in the non-profit and philanthropy sectors on issues related to political empowerment, social justice, economic development, leadership development, wealth creation and civil rights. A regular contributor to The New York Times and a fellow at the Institute of Politics at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, Ms. Brown is a recipient of the 2010 White House Champions of Change Award, 2006 Spirit of Democracy Award, and the Louis Burnham Award for Human Rights.

She will share thoughts on her lecture, “The Death of Democracy: Voter Suppression in the 21st Century,” and she will discuss how storytelling and strategic messaging can build political power. The role of women, young voters, and people of color in American politics will be a key area of discussion as it relates to civic engagement protests and student activism.

Tools for Futurist Thinking in the Social Sector with Deloitte’s Monitor Institute (February 3, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81412 81412-20893776@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 3, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Business+Impact at Michigan Ross

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an environment of hyper-uncertainty for social sector organizations, as the economic crisis has weakened funders and nonprofits even as the demand for their assistance is skyrocketing. Many funders and non-profits have completed their initial round of emergency response to the crisis, but they are struggling to contemplate what they should do next.
To help social sector leaders confront this challenge, the Monitor Institute by Deloitte is using the tools of scenario planning—the well-tested methodology for thinking about the future pioneered by Deloitte’s Global Business Network group—to help both funders and operating nonprofits get on their front foot in preparing for the landscape on the other side of the COVID-19 crisis. While it isn’t possible to predict the future, this session will provide funders and operating non-profits with an understanding of the tools that can help them think about the critical uncertainties of the moment, reckon with the new “certainties” emerging from the pandemic, and think about how their strategies might (or might not) fit the different possible futures that may emerge in the coming months and years ahead.

ere.

The University of Virginia—designed by Thomas Jefferson and now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site—was built and maintained by 4,000 or more enslaved men, women, and children. UVA’s powerful new Memorial to Enslaved Laborers honors the lives, labors, and resistance of the enslaved people who lived and worked at UVA at some point between 1817 and 1865.

This interview with members of the memorial’s design team will explore the history, form, and process behind the creation of the memorial. Panelists: Mabel Wilson, Meejin Yoon, Eric Höweler, and Eto Otitigbe, with U-M's Kristin Hass as interviewer. 

~   Eric Höweler, AIA, LEED AP,  is an associate professor in architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, where he teaches lecture courses and design studios with a focus on building technologies/integration. He is a co-founding principal of  Höweler + Yoon Architecture LLP, a research-driven, multidisciplinary design studio working between architecture, art, and media. HYA has a reputation for work that is technologically and formally innovative, and deeply informed by human experience, and a sensitivity to tectonics. 

Eto Otitigbe is a polymedia artist whose interdisciplinary practice investigates the intersections of race, power, and technology. With history as the foundation for exploration, Otitigbe sets alternative narratives into motion; creating spaces for people to experience a unique mixture of concepts. Otitigbe lives and works in Brooklyn, NY where is an Assistant Professor and Head of Sculpture in the Art Department of Brooklyn College.

Mabel O. Wilson is the Nancy and George Rupp Professor of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, a professor in African American and African diasporic studies, director of the Institute for Research in African American Studies, and co-director of the Global Africa Lab at Columbia University. She is trained in architecture and American studies, two fields that inform her work. Through her transdisciplinary practice Studio &, Wilson makes visible and legible the ways that anti-black racism shapes the built environment along with the ways that blackness creates spaces of imagination, refusal, and desire. 

J. Meejin Yoon, AIA FAAR, is an architect, designer, and educator, whose projects and research investigate the intersections between architecture, technology, and the public realm. Prior to joining the faculty at AAP, Yoon was at MIT for 17 years and served as the head of the Department of Architecture from 2014–18. Yoon is cofounding principal of Höweler and Yoon Architecture. 

Kristin Hass is associate professor of American culture and faculty coordinator for the Humanities Collaboratory at the University of Michigan. She is the author of Carried to the Wall: American Memory and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (1998) and Sacrificing Soldiers on the National Mall (2013). Her fields of study include visual culture, material culture, museum studies, memory, and 20th-century cultural history.

This is the first in a series of annual Art and Activism lectures as part of High Stakes Art, a project designed to enhance exhibitions and programming at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. High Stakes Art and this lecture are made possible by a generous grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Presented by the Institute for the Humanities and the U-M Arts Initiative.

The Future of Art Series is hosted by the U-M Arts Initiative as part of a two-year startup phase.

Dr. Putnam will present a talk on "Novel use for Scenario Simulation: Real Life Resiliency."

Stressful and realistic simulation scenarios are common, and considered beneficial for learners.

We used an Operating Room case-gone-wrong to examine the impact of stress and the emotional impact of clinical practice. Our project used physicians, clinical psychologist and an educational specialist to deliver a semi-structured debrief to residents. We evaluated their experience.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

This open-ended discussion forum will center around various “keywords” of your choosing. We invite you all to contribute a keyword or theme that you are currently thinking about in relation to your own research. Our goal with this virtual event is to think collectively, form connections, and inspire creative directions.

You do not need to come prepared with a presentation, but merely an idea, thought, or question centered around your chosen word. Equally, there is no requirement that you come prepared to discuss a specific keyword if you would prefer to attend as a listener/respondent.

For inspiration, you might turn to the Victorian Literature and Culture 'Keywords' double-issue containing hundreds of mini-essays on keywords.

Abstract:

Biomedical research disciplines are awash in data. These data, generated by new technologies as well as old approaches, provide the opportunity to systematically extract biological patterns that were previously difficult to observe. I’ll share vignettes focusing on three areas: 1) how we can use large-scale public data to better understand data for which few observations are available; 2) some work to understand why large-scale integrative analyses are beneficial; and 3) how machine learning can help to produce more datasets suitable for integration while maintaining participant privacy.

Dr. Casey Greene is an Associate Professor of Systems Pharmacology and Translational Therapeutics in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the Director of the Childhood Cancer Data Lab, powered by Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. His lab develops machine learning methods that integrate distinct large-scale datasets to extract the rich and intrinsic information embedded in such integrated data. This approach reveals underlying principles of genetics, cellular environments, and cellular responses to that environment. Casey’s devotion to the analysis of publicly available data doesn’t stop in the lab. In 2016, Casey established the “Research Parasite Awards” after an editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine deemed scientists who analyze other scientists’ data “research parasites.” These honors, accompanied by a cash prize, are awarded to scientists who rigorously reanalyze other people’s data to learn something new.

Toxic Equilibrium: Structural Racism and Population Health Inequities (February 24, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/81748 81748-20949404@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location

February 24, 2021
10:00am – 6:30pm
Eastern Time

The American social structure is composed of a resilient, symbiotic network of the formal and informal institutions that operate to maintain an equilibrium toward White privilege. Across time and place, changes in one institution can reverberate through other institutions, and importantly, when we attempt to intervene toward equity in one institution, other institutions can move to restore this toxic equilibrium. Cultural racism, which encompasses the socially accepted ideologies, values, and behavioral norms determined by the dominant power group, sets this equilibrium. Particularly insidious as it operates on the level of our shared social subconscious, the processes that comprise cultural racism are invisible to many because they are our “givens”, our assumptions, our defaults – but the result shapes our answers to the question: Whose life counts?

For our 6th annual University of Michigan RacismLab Symposium on the Study of Racism, we pay tribute to the legacy of Dr. James Jackson, whose mentorship guided our 1st annual symposium in 2015 and resulted in our guest edited Social Science and Medicine special issue on cultural and structural racism. In the introduction to this special issue, we called for all scholarship on race and health to be grounded in interdisciplinary frameworks of cultural and structural racism and critical race theory.

Our annual symposium continues to be sponsored by the University of Michigan Survey Research Center at the Institute for Social Research. For our virtual meeting in 2021, we partner with the Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science (IAPHS) to move our discussions to a national stage. As we move to a national, interdisciplinary discussion, we are honored that a pioneer in the study of structural racism, Dr. Eduardo Bonilla Silva will serve as the keynote speaker this year.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Ginsberg Center

As both consumers and purveyors of information, how we interact with data is ever evolving. Now, more than ever, data for good represents a diverse and interdisciplinary effort to engage, educate, and empower the world around us. Statistics in the Community (STATCOM), the Center for Education Design, Evaluation, and Research (CEDER), and the Community Technical Assistance Collaborative (CTAC) invite you to attend the 4th annual Data for Public Good Symposium hosted by the Michigan Institute for Data Science. The symposium will launch virtually on Thursday, February 25, 2021 and will showcase the many research efforts and university/community partnerships that focus on improving humanity by using data for the public good.

Data for Good in Changing Times

This year’s symposium will focus on how data can help us best predict, catalyze, or respond to large-scale societal and environmental change. As we currently navigate these changes in several key areas, this symposium offers an opportunity to learn about the data-driven work that is being done to address the following challenges and develop skills to implement your own data-driven work in these spaces:

Public health and medicine
Social justice and equity
Politics and civic engagement
K-12 and higher education
Climate change and sustainability

Abolitionist University Studies: An Invitation (February 25, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/81639 81639-20935525@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 25, 2021 11:00am

Organized By: LSA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

*Zoom registration required: https://myumi.ch/E3jjK*

*We think it’s time to take up an abolitionist approach to the university. We can’t do it without you.*

Abolition, we believe, offers the occasion for thinking about the university in ways that the institution itself might otherwise render impossible. And in doing so it may provide an opportunity to trouble the institution as we know and inhabit it—and as it inhabits us. Inspired by radical scholars and organizers in and outside of universities, we embrace abolition as a generative rather than merely negative project. We aim to build relations that steal the sheen from the university’s romanticized history and to repurpose its resources, capacities, and function of reproducing sociality with and for other ways of being, other ways of living. In coming together, we take up the question, What would an abolitionist approach to the university say yes to?

These conversations belong to a larger set of recent efforts to theorize and historicize the dense and manifold linkages of universities with the infrastructure of settler colonial power, U.S. militarism, and racial capitalism. These efforts have sought not only to introduce new vocabularies and critical frames for how we understand universities and their conditions of possibility; they have also revealed some of the limits of the methodological tools heretofore available to think the university. From the well-intentioned methodological nationalism that tends to disappear the constitutive militarism of the Cold War university to the unrecognized settler imagination that valorizes as democratic the postbellum “public” land-grant institutions, to periodizations of the modern research university that hold its proximity to slavery at bay, the production of the university as an object of love and an occasion for rescue has often been reproduced in efforts to study it.

Abolitionist university studies, an emerging set of conversations about knowledge, power, and its institutional organizations has sought to offer a broad frame and a set of coordinates to study the university on different terms. It has, furthermore, insisted on regarding knowledge production not as a set of disembodied ideas or logics, but as organizational forms. Such a frame calls for methodological creativity. What kinds of pedagogical strategies does it open onto? What kind of historical frames get brought into courses, and how to bring abolitionist approaches into classrooms not nominally focused on the topic? How can abolitionist modes of organizing within universities open onto or remake existing political collectivities?

Treasures of Religious Art at the Detroit Institute of Arts (February 25, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82040 82040-21012672@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 25, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Middle East Studies

Professor Emerita Shelley Perlove, History of Art (UM-Dearborn), will give a Zoom lecture on February 25, 2021, at 7 PM. Her talk, “Treasures of Religious Art at the Detroit Institute of Arts,” is sponsored by the Michigan Center for Early Christian Studies (MCECS), the Department of Middle East Studies, and the Medieval and Early Modern Studies Program of the University of Michigan.

The presentation focuses upon the diverse and ever-changing interpretations of Christ and his mother Mary from the 13th through the 17th c. in Italy, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Selected works will be discussed in terms of their meaning and cultural context, including Catholic and Protestant controversies. Also of interest are the varied techniques in wood, marble, gold, and paint, as well as issues of museum display. In many cases an attempt will be made to “reconstruct” the original functions of these works created for ecclesiastical and domestic settings.

Registration is required: https://forms.gle/3L1yGa7JF2GCxdiA7
*We recommend registration at least two days before the event, although registration will remain open until the night of the event.*

Additional information is available on the MCECS website: https://mcecs.org/christian-art-at-the-dia/

Data for Public Good Symposium (February 26, 2021 9:45am) https://events.umich.edu/event/81262 81262-20879895@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 26, 2021 9:45am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Ginsberg Center

As both consumers and purveyors of information, how we interact with data is ever evolving. Now, more than ever, data for good represents a diverse and interdisciplinary effort to engage, educate, and empower the world around us. Statistics in the Community (STATCOM), the Center for Education Design, Evaluation, and Research (CEDER), and the Community Technical Assistance Collaborative (CTAC) invite you to attend the 4th annual Data for Public Good Symposium hosted by the Michigan Institute for Data Science. The symposium will launch virtually on Thursday, February 25, 2021 and will showcase the many research efforts and university/community partnerships that focus on improving humanity by using data for the public good.

Data for Good in Changing Times

This year’s symposium will focus on how data can help us best predict, catalyze, or respond to large-scale societal and environmental change. As we currently navigate these changes in several key areas, this symposium offers an opportunity to learn about the data-driven work that is being done to address the following challenges and develop skills to implement your own data-driven work in these spaces:

Public health and medicine
Social justice and equity
Politics and civic engagement
K-12 and higher education
Climate change and sustainability

Cops Off Campus Research Project: A Workshop (February 26, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81640 81640-20935526@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 26, 2021 2:00pm

*Zoom registration required: https://myumi.ch/yKBDP*

*How much does your university contribute to policing? How much does policing rely on your university? Who does it police? Where does it police?*

If you don’t have answers to these questions, you probably want them. We want them too.

Do you think it’s important for students to know how to find answers to these questions? Do you think it’s important for communities to find answers to them when police have jurisdiction that goes beyond the university campus?

The Cops Off Campus research project is a way of collecting this data to instigate a larger public conversation about the relations between universities and policing. We are looking to help instructors, students, organizers, and communities to ask questions about how much money and how many other resources universities devote to policing and what the effects are. We invite folks to participate in a project to collect data about university/police relationships with the goal of kicking cops off campuses and abolishing policing. We are excited to collaborate with members of the University of Michigan community toward these ends.
