Watershed brings work from thirteen contemporary regional and international artists to UMMA for an exhibition that asks visitors to recognize complex, tangled histories about the Great Lakes, its watershed, and the surrounding region. 

Through the use of experimental photography, painting, sculpture, and textile work, these artists explore issues of water security, pollution, and the deep cultural histories of the Great Lakes region. Taken together, their work highlights the complicated personal, political, and economic relationships between people, the water we depend on, the lands we call home, and the forces challenging the sanctity of it all.

These artists encourage us to consider the bodies of water as a resource linked to our survival, with complex histories of cultural exchange. Their stories are different, and their perspectives and interpretations are varied. But these artists demonstrate how art can contribute to and shape current dialogues on the region’s critical water crises.

Watershed includes many new, exclusive works commissioned by UMMA for the exhibition including:
A series of large-scale cyanotype prints from Washington-based artist Meghann Riepenhoff processed in the watershed of Lake Ontario on the Genesee River, near the former site of Eastman Kodak Co. production facility; Calligraphic paintings from Syrian-born and Dubai-based artist Khaled Al-Saai that explore how language can be used to visually connect us to meanings found in the watery worlds above and below the surfaces of the Great Lakes; A new mural by Toronto-based artist Bonnie Devine from the Serpent River First Nation will examine accounts of western expansion across the state of Michigan; and, Detroit-based musician, artist, and activist Sacramento Knoxx, along with The Aadizookaan, will fill the gallery with recorded song compositions made with water samples from each Great Lake and other sacred materials.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and the ​Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit and the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and Department of English Language and Literature.

Watershed brings work from thirteen contemporary regional and international artists to UMMA for an exhibition that asks visitors to recognize complex, tangled histories about the Great Lakes, its watershed, and the surrounding region. 

Through the use of experimental photography, painting, sculpture, and textile work, these artists explore issues of water security, pollution, and the deep cultural histories of the Great Lakes region. Taken together, their work highlights the complicated personal, political, and economic relationships between people, the water we depend on, the lands we call home, and the forces challenging the sanctity of it all.

These artists encourage us to consider the bodies of water as a resource linked to our survival, with complex histories of cultural exchange. Their stories are different, and their perspectives and interpretations are varied. But these artists demonstrate how art can contribute to and shape current dialogues on the region’s critical water crises.

Watershed includes many new, exclusive works commissioned by UMMA for the exhibition including:
A series of large-scale cyanotype prints from Washington-based artist Meghann Riepenhoff processed in the watershed of Lake Ontario on the Genesee River, near the former site of Eastman Kodak Co. production facility; Calligraphic paintings from Syrian-born and Dubai-based artist Khaled Al-Saai that explore how language can be used to visually connect us to meanings found in the watery worlds above and below the surfaces of the Great Lakes; A new mural by Toronto-based artist Bonnie Devine from the Serpent River First Nation will examine accounts of western expansion across the state of Michigan; and, Detroit-based musician, artist, and activist Sacramento Knoxx, along with The Aadizookaan, will fill the gallery with recorded song compositions made with water samples from each Great Lake and other sacred materials.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and the ​Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit and the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and Department of English Language and Literature.

Moderator: Natsu Oyobe (Curator of Asian Art, Museum of Art, University of Michigan)

Translator: Yihui Sheng (Ph.D. Candidate, Asian Languages and Cultures, University of Michigan)

Based in Beijing and New York, artist Xu Weixin is known for his stunning, large-size portraits of Chinese people who lived during the Cultural Revolution. In 2016, the series and portraits of contemporary miners were presented with great acclaim at the University of Michigan Museum of Art. In this webinar, he will invite us into his studio in New York, and talk about his paintings in progress, some of which are directly concerned with the COVID-19 pandemic. To understand a larger context, we will invite two panelists to talk about Xu Weixin’s work in relation to Chinese contemporary society and artistic practice, followed by conversations with the artist. This webinar will illuminate art and artists’ roles during the global health crisis and the rise of anti-Chinese and anti-Asian sentiment in the U.S.

Attendants will be able to submit questions during the Q&A period following the discussion.

Watershed brings work from thirteen contemporary regional and international artists to UMMA for an exhibition that asks visitors to recognize complex, tangled histories about the Great Lakes, its watershed, and the surrounding region. 

Through the use of experimental photography, painting, sculpture, and textile work, these artists explore issues of water security, pollution, and the deep cultural histories of the Great Lakes region. Taken together, their work highlights the complicated personal, political, and economic relationships between people, the water we depend on, the lands we call home, and the forces challenging the sanctity of it all.

These artists encourage us to consider the bodies of water as a resource linked to our survival, with complex histories of cultural exchange. Their stories are different, and their perspectives and interpretations are varied. But these artists demonstrate how art can contribute to and shape current dialogues on the region’s critical water crises.

Watershed includes many new, exclusive works commissioned by UMMA for the exhibition including:
A series of large-scale cyanotype prints from Washington-based artist Meghann Riepenhoff processed in the watershed of Lake Ontario on the Genesee River, near the former site of Eastman Kodak Co. production facility; Calligraphic paintings from Syrian-born and Dubai-based artist Khaled Al-Saai that explore how language can be used to visually connect us to meanings found in the watery worlds above and below the surfaces of the Great Lakes; A new mural by Toronto-based artist Bonnie Devine from the Serpent River First Nation will examine accounts of western expansion across the state of Michigan; and, Detroit-based musician, artist, and activist Sacramento Knoxx, along with The Aadizookaan, will fill the gallery with recorded song compositions made with water samples from each Great Lake and other sacred materials.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and the ​Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit and the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and Department of English Language and Literature.

Watershed brings work from thirteen contemporary regional and international artists to UMMA for an exhibition that asks visitors to recognize complex, tangled histories about the Great Lakes, its watershed, and the surrounding region. 

Through the use of experimental photography, painting, sculpture, and textile work, these artists explore issues of water security, pollution, and the deep cultural histories of the Great Lakes region. Taken together, their work highlights the complicated personal, political, and economic relationships between people, the water we depend on, the lands we call home, and the forces challenging the sanctity of it all.

These artists encourage us to consider the bodies of water as a resource linked to our survival, with complex histories of cultural exchange. Their stories are different, and their perspectives and interpretations are varied. But these artists demonstrate how art can contribute to and shape current dialogues on the region’s critical water crises.

Watershed includes many new, exclusive works commissioned by UMMA for the exhibition including:
A series of large-scale cyanotype prints from Washington-based artist Meghann Riepenhoff processed in the watershed of Lake Ontario on the Genesee River, near the former site of Eastman Kodak Co. production facility; Calligraphic paintings from Syrian-born and Dubai-based artist Khaled Al-Saai that explore how language can be used to visually connect us to meanings found in the watery worlds above and below the surfaces of the Great Lakes; A new mural by Toronto-based artist Bonnie Devine from the Serpent River First Nation will examine accounts of western expansion across the state of Michigan; and, Detroit-based musician, artist, and activist Sacramento Knoxx, along with The Aadizookaan, will fill the gallery with recorded song compositions made with water samples from each Great Lake and other sacred materials.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and the ​Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit and the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and Department of English Language and Literature.

Watershed brings work from thirteen contemporary regional and international artists to UMMA for an exhibition that asks visitors to recognize complex, tangled histories about the Great Lakes, its watershed, and the surrounding region. 

Through the use of experimental photography, painting, sculpture, and textile work, these artists explore issues of water security, pollution, and the deep cultural histories of the Great Lakes region. Taken together, their work highlights the complicated personal, political, and economic relationships between people, the water we depend on, the lands we call home, and the forces challenging the sanctity of it all.

These artists encourage us to consider the bodies of water as a resource linked to our survival, with complex histories of cultural exchange. Their stories are different, and their perspectives and interpretations are varied. But these artists demonstrate how art can contribute to and shape current dialogues on the region’s critical water crises.

Watershed includes many new, exclusive works commissioned by UMMA for the exhibition including:
A series of large-scale cyanotype prints from Washington-based artist Meghann Riepenhoff processed in the watershed of Lake Ontario on the Genesee River, near the former site of Eastman Kodak Co. production facility; Calligraphic paintings from Syrian-born and Dubai-based artist Khaled Al-Saai that explore how language can be used to visually connect us to meanings found in the watery worlds above and below the surfaces of the Great Lakes; A new mural by Toronto-based artist Bonnie Devine from the Serpent River First Nation will examine accounts of western expansion across the state of Michigan; and, Detroit-based musician, artist, and activist Sacramento Knoxx, along with The Aadizookaan, will fill the gallery with recorded song compositions made with water samples from each Great Lake and other sacred materials.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and the ​Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit and the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and Department of English Language and Literature.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies

Panelists: Adam E. Casey, WCED Research Fellow; Sasha de Vogel, doctoral candidate in political science; Natalia Forrat, WCED Visiting Associate and former WCED Postdoctoral Fellow (2018-20), U-M. Moderator: Dan Slater, WCED Director.

This panel will discuss and analyze the recent controversial presidential election in Belarus, subsequent large-scale protests demanding democratic change, and the state's response, including police violence and accusations of foreign intervention. Register at http://myumi.ch/2D1VB.

Adam E. Casey is a research fellow at the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies at the University of Michigan. He received his PhD in political science from the University of Toronto in May 2020. His research interests include authoritarian regimes, comparative civil-military relations, Soviet and Russian foreign policy, and democratization. His work has been published in *World Politics*, *Post-Soviet Affairs, Foreign Affairs,* and the *Washington Post*. He is currently working on a book manuscript on the relationship between foreign support and authoritarian rule, as well as a new collaborative project on the origins of military forces in autocracies.

Sasha de Vogel is a PhD candidate in political science at the University of Michigan. She specializes in authoritarian politics, collective action, and the politics of the former Soviet Union, particularly Russia. Her research considers how authoritarian regimes respond to protest movements, the conditions in which protesters are promised concessions, and the effect that concessions have on protesters’ ability to sustain activism. Her research has been supported by a National Science Foundation Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant, a Carnegie Corporation-Harriman Institute Research Grant for Ph.D. Students in the Social Sciences, and a Weiser Emerging Democracies Fellowship, among other grants.

Natalia Forrat is a WCED Visiting Associate and a research affiliate at the Governance Project at the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law, Stanford University. She was a postdoctoral fellow at WCED in 2018-20. She received her PhD in sociology from Northwestern University in 2017 and, before coming to the University of Michigan, was a pre-doctoral fellow at CDDRL at Stanford as well as a postdoctoral fellow at the Kellogg Institute, University of Notre Dame. Her academic interests focus on state-society relations, political regimes, governance, and civil society. Currently, Natalia is finishing her book on the social basis of authoritarian power in Russia and working on a survey of civil servants in Ukraine and Kazakhstan as a part of Stanford’s Governance Project. You can learn more about her work at www.nataliaforrat.com.

Watershed (September 15, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/73787 73787-18315844@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 15, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Watershed brings work from thirteen contemporary regional and international artists to UMMA for an exhibition that asks visitors to recognize complex, tangled histories about the Great Lakes, its watershed, and the surrounding region. 

Through the use of experimental photography, painting, sculpture, and textile work, these artists explore issues of water security, pollution, and the deep cultural histories of the Great Lakes region. Taken together, their work highlights the complicated personal, political, and economic relationships between people, the water we depend on, the lands we call home, and the forces challenging the sanctity of it all.

These artists encourage us to consider the bodies of water as a resource linked to our survival, with complex histories of cultural exchange. Their stories are different, and their perspectives and interpretations are varied. But these artists demonstrate how art can contribute to and shape current dialogues on the region’s critical water crises.

Watershed includes many new, exclusive works commissioned by UMMA for the exhibition including:
A series of large-scale cyanotype prints from Washington-based artist Meghann Riepenhoff processed in the watershed of Lake Ontario on the Genesee River, near the former site of Eastman Kodak Co. production facility; Calligraphic paintings from Syrian-born and Dubai-based artist Khaled Al-Saai that explore how language can be used to visually connect us to meanings found in the watery worlds above and below the surfaces of the Great Lakes; A new mural by Toronto-based artist Bonnie Devine from the Serpent River First Nation will examine accounts of western expansion across the state of Michigan; and, Detroit-based musician, artist, and activist Sacramento Knoxx, along with The Aadizookaan, will fill the gallery with recorded song compositions made with water samples from each Great Lake and other sacred materials.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, and the ​Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund. Additional generous support is provided by P.J. and Julie Solit and the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability and Department of English Language and Literature.

Donia Human Rights Center Panel. Racism and Race Relations in the United States: What Value for an International Human Rights Perspective? (September 16, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76542 76542-19725088@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 16, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Donia Human Rights Center

Debates and protests in the United States about systemic racism are dominated by discussions of American institutions, law, and practices and the need to change them. But international human rights law, developed over decades to address and respond to human rights violations around the world, offers important frameworks and rules to address racism and race discrimination. Human rights law has already been utilized by some advocates for change in the U.S., but not as much as in other countries. This distinguished panel will offer perspectives on whether and how an international human rights lens provides an added value for discussions of, and solutions to, problems of racism in the United States. It will consider how human rights law might change ongoing conversations, as well as its limits. It will also offer a comparison between the use of human rights on issues of race discrimination in the United States and South Africa.

Please note: This event will be held virtually EST through Zoom. This webinar is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Once you've registered the joining information will be sent to your email.

In fall 2020, Hardy is once again teaching a Ford School seminar entitled The Role of Courts in International Human Rights.

In 2014, Hardy served as a policy fellow in the Middle East, where he worked at Save the Children International in Amman, Jordan. There, he handled child protection policy issues impacting Syrian refugee children living in Jordan.

Prior to living in the Middle East, Hardy was in private legal practice in Washington, D.C., for over ten years. While in private practice, Hardy also handled numerous pro bono matters, ranging from litigation stemming from the abuses at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq to juvenile detention impact litigation and asylum representation. In 2010, the D.C. Bar recognized him as its Pro Bono Lawyer of the Year.

Before moving to private practice, Hardy was a criminal appellate defense counsel in the United States Navy’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps, where he served as lead counsel in a capital punishment case. He is a frequent media commentator on military justice issues.

Territorial and political tensions over Nagorno-Karabakh have marked the relationship between Armenia and Azerbaijan for over three decades. Fragile cease-fire agreement ended the full-scale war in 1994, after nearly 30,000 people were killed on both sides. Since then, it has been simmering as a low-intensity armed conflict, with significant clashes in April 2016 and July 2020. This current escalation has all the signs of a regional spill-over, capable of pulling in bigger players. Already significant has been Turkey's pronounced political and military support of Azerbaijan - a new development in the dynamics of this conflict. Please join us for a panel discussion that places the current violence in its historical context and analyzes regional implications.

Alison Climes graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in International Studies and Spanish in 2015. Her post-graduation journey took her from Santiago to Tucson to Monterey and now back to Ann Arbor, where she works as a Student Engagement Coordinator at the University of Michigan Ginsberg Center.

After graduation, Alison spent a semester teaching English through the English Opens Doors Program in Puente Alto, Chile which gave her the opportunity to practice her Spanish and gain further exposure to the world of education. She then returned to Michigan and taught a semester of high-school Spanish before moving to Tucson, Arizona, to work with a refugee education program for middle- and high-school youth. Her interest in comparative and international education, and education diplomacy programs inspired her to pursue a master's program at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey, California, in International Education Management (IEM). During her Master's program, she led youth international exchange programs and completed her Master's degree in 2019.

In her current role at the University of Michigan Ginsberg Center, Alison aims to help students identify their own strengths and develop a strong sense of self while also working to become active citizens engaged in their communities and working towards social justice.

Area Studies Showcase Lecture Series: Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. Aging Nationally in Contemporary Poland: Memory, Kinship, and Personhood (October 14, 2020 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76248 76248-19679547@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 14, 2020 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

Active aging programs that encourage older adults to practice health-promoting behaviors are proliferating worldwide. In Poland, the meanings and ideals of these programs have become caught up in the sociocultural and political-economic changes that have occurred during the lifetimes of the oldest generations—most visibly, the transition from socialism to capitalism. Yet practices of active aging resonate with older forms of activity in late life in ways that exceed these narratives of progress. Moreover, some older Poles come to live valued, meaningful lives in old age despite threats to respect and dignity posed by illness and debility. Drawing on almost two years of ethnographic research with older Poles in a range of contexts, this talk shows that everyday practices of remembering and relatedness shape how older Poles come to be seen by themselves and by others as living worthy, valued lives. This talk shows how memories and understandings of the Polish nation intersect with ideals and experiences of late life to produce forms of life that are not reducible to binary categories of health or illness, independence or dependence, or socialism or capitalism.

Jessica Robbins is an assistant professor at the Institute of Gerontology and Department of Anthropology at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. She received her Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Michigan, and her B.A. in anthropology and music from Williams College. Her research explores aging, memory, kinship, and personhood in historical political-economic perspective, in both Poland and Michigan. Her research has been published in journals such as *Medical Anthropology Quarterly, Ageing & Society, Journal of Aging Studies,* and *East European Politics, Societies & Cultures*. Her first book, *Aging Nationally in Contemporary Poland: Memory, Kinship, and Personhood*, is forthcoming later this year with Rutgers University Press. She has received funding from organizations such as the NSF, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, IREX, and the Wilson Center.

This lecture is the CREES contribution to the "Area Studies Showcase Lecture Series: Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia," of which CREES is a proud partner. See the full series lineup here: http://myumi.ch/BojQQ.

Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

The University Center for Language and Literacy is offering a workshop designed to help you reach personal communication goals. *Speaking American English: A workshop for English Language Learners* offers a supportive environment where you have the opportunity to practice the language skills that are important to you.

Our certified Speech-Language Pathologists use techniques to help non-native English speakers feel more confident in their communications – whether that’s giving a presentation, or taking notes in a class with a native speaker who speaks fast. The goal of the program is not to eliminate a client’s accent, but to build confidence in any communication or setting.

Participants set their own individual goals at the start of the workshop and will work to achieve those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction. The workshop typically runs for 10 weeks, but will depend on when it begins. If the group workshop does work with your schedule, please contact us; individual consultations are available.

What to Expect
* An initial meeting focusing on setting your personal goals and objectives
* Both group and individual activities
* Exercises for improving articulation, rate control, and projection
* Increased confidence in social and professional interactions
* Guidance from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist

CCPS Roundtable. Assessing the State of Play in Polish Politics: The 2020 Presidential Elections (October 15, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77794 77794-19931619@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 15, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

Panelists: Anna Grzymała-Busse, Michelle and Kevin Douglas Professor of International Studies, Stanford University; Benjamin Paloff, associate professor of Slavic languages & literatures and comparative literature, U-M; Brian Porter-Szűcs, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of History, U-M.

In the first round of Poland’s 2020 presidential elections, the incumbent Andrzej Duda, from the ruling Law and Justice Party, received 43% of the vote. If this result suggested an early consolidation of conservative voters’ enthusiasm, the second round of voting revealed an evenly divided electorate, with Duda winning reelection with just 51% of the total against Warsaw mayor Rafał Trzaskowski. What does this result tell us about the current state of national politics in Poland and the Law and Justice Party’s claims to a popular mandate to alter democratic institutions? Does it suggest an erosion of populist politics in Central Europe, or is it rather an affirmation of the ruling party’s Euroscepticism and judicial reforms? Professors Anna Grzymala-Busse (political science, Stanford) and Brian Porter-Szücs (history, U-M) will walk us through this dynamic landscape, discussing what it reveals about Poland’s present and what it might portend for its future.

Join the conversation: #policytalks

From the speaker's bio:

David Miliband is the President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee. He oversees the agency’s relief and development operations in over 30 countries, its refugee resettlement and assistance programs throughout the United States and the IRC’s advocacy efforts in Washington and other capitals on behalf of the world’s most vulnerable people.

David has had a distinguished political career in the United Kingdom. From 2007 to 2010, he served as the youngest Foreign Secretary in three decades, driving advancements in human rights and representing the United Kingdom throughout the world. His accomplishments have earned him a reputation, in former President Bill Clinton's words, as "one of the ablest, most creative public servants of our time.” In 2016 David was named one of the World’s Greatest Leaders by Fortune Magazine and in 2018 he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

David is also the author of the book, Rescue: Refugees and the Political Crisis of Our Time. As the son of refugees, David brings a personal commitment to the IRC's work and to the premise of the book: that we can rescue the dignity and hopes of refugees and displaced people. And if we help them, in the process we will rescue our own values.

Moderator: Jundai Liu, WCED Postdoctoral Fellow.

When handed over from British to Chinese rule in 1997, Hong Kong’s special autonomous status was guaranteed by the principle of “one country, two systems” for fifty years. Since then, this status has been eroded. From the Umbrella Movement in 2014 to large-scale protests against the “Extradition Bill” and the “National Security Law ” in 2019 and 2020, Hong Kong has become an epicenter of contentions. In light of these events, the experts of this panel will share their observations and insights on the judicial, political, and social developments in Hong Kong.

Organized By: Program in International and Comparative Studies

The international community faces no shortage of challenges when it comes to preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. The crisis in US-Russia relations, the slow pace of nuclear disarmament, the future of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, and the emergence of new technologies with military applications–these are just a few of the issues that nuclear policy professionals are working to address today. Each of these problems will require creative ideas and novel methodological approaches to surmount. This talk will highlight different opportunities and career paths for students who may wish to contribute to this process. It will focus in particular on the need for greater diversity, including gender diversity, among experts and practitioners in this field. All students, regardless of their level of knowledge of nonproliferation, disarmament, or arms control, are welcome to attend. Questions are strongly encouraged!

Please note: This session will be held virtually EST through Zoom. This webinar is free and open to students, but registration is required. Once you've registered the joining information will be sent to your email.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

This talk examines the composers who survived the Second World War in Poland and the music they wrote during the war’s aftermath. It analyzes longer-range continuities in composition in Poland across the war period. To do so, Mackenzie Pierce examines previously unconsidered archival materials to show how the wartime survival of the composers Tadeusz Zygfryd Kassern, Zygmunt Mycielski, and Roman Palester informed their postwar aesthetics. He shows how these individual reactions to the war gained—or failed to gain—broader social support. Ultimately, he argues, these composers reactivated deep-seated beliefs about the power of the aesthetic to mediate individual and collective experience, bolstering an expressive, emotional musical style that would resonate through postwar Polish composition for years to come.

Mackenzie Pierce is assistant professor of musicology at the School of Music, Theater & Dance at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on the cultural aftermath of WWII among Poland’s composers, musicologists, and performers, and he has overseen world and US premieres of the works of Roman Palester and Tadeusz Zygfryd Kassern, among others. His articles appear in *19th-Century Music*, *The Journal of Musicology*, and *The Cambridge Companion to Music and Fascism*. His research has been supported through fellowships from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews, and the Kościuszko Foundation.

The University Center for Language and Literacy is offering a workshop designed to help you reach personal communication goals. *Speaking American English: A workshop for English Language Learners* offers a supportive environment where you have the opportunity to practice the language skills that are important to you.

Our certified Speech-Language Pathologists use techniques to help non-native English speakers feel more confident in their communications – whether that’s giving a presentation, or taking notes in a class with a native speaker who speaks fast.

Participants set their own individual goals at the start of the workshop and will work to achieve those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction. The workshop typically runs for 10 weeks, but will depend on when it begins. If the group workshop does work with your schedule, please contact us; individual consultations are available.

What to Expect
* An initial meeting focusing on setting your personal goals and objectives
* Both group and individual activities
* Exercises for improving articulation, rate control, and projection
* Increased confidence in social and professional interactions

Everyone is talking about the election now, and these conversations will continue after Election Day, November 3. Is it possible to engage in civil conversation around politics in academic and professional contexts? This workshop happens to fall on the date after all voting in the Fall 2020 U.S. election is completed. This workshop is an opportunity to talk about (and to explore how we can talk about) what we’ve seen in the news, in our local communities, on social media, and in conversations with friends and colleagues and to practice language for commiserating and sharing potentially opposing perspectives.

Annual Copernicus Lecture. An Interview with Agnieszka Holland (November 6, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78760 78760-20121149@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 6, 2020 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

As part of the 27th Ann Arbor Polish Film Festival (AAPFF), acclaimed Polish film director Agnieszka Holland returns to the University of Michigan to deliver her second Annual Copernicus Lecture, an interview with Johannes von Moltke, professor of Germanic languages and literatures and of film, television and media, and acting director of the Weiser Center for Europe & Eurasia, U-M; and Benjamin Paloff, associate professor of Slavic languages and literatures and of comparative literature, and acting director of the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies, U-M.

Agnieszka Holland is justly famous for the way in which her films tackle “the perversely captivating 20th century,” as she put it, in all of its complexity. She has devoted her talents as a filmmaker to thoughtful explorations of fascism and communism, their aftermaths, and their lasting effects on those who were caught up in the political, moral, and ethical decisions that these regimes demanded of everyone in their orbit. In this hour-long interview, Agnieszka Holland discusses the role of history and politics in her filmmaking, her interest in characters who face difficult moral dilemmas, her work in Europe and Hollywood, her most recent film *Charlatan* (2019), and her desire to help shape a “cinema of the middle” by making thoughtful, artistic films with broad popular appeal.

Agnieszka Holland was born in Warsaw and graduated from FAMU, the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. Upon her return to Poland she joined the group of promising young Polish directors, “the filmmakers of moral unrest,” associated with Andrzej Wajda. Her early Polish films earned her a great deal of critical acclaim, but Holland is best-known for her Academy Award-nominated films *Angry Harvest* (Best Foreign Language Film 1985), *Europa Europa* (Best Screenplay 1990), and *In Darkness* (Best Foreign Language Film 2011). Recent films include *Spoor (Pokot)*, based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk; *Mr. Jones*; and *Charlatan*. As a screenwriter, Holland collaborated with Krzysztof Kieślowski (*Three Colours*, 1993), and wrote several scripts for her mentor, Andrzej Wajda. She has worked extensively in television, directing episodes of *The Wire* and *Treme*, for which she received an Emmy nomination in 2009. Recently she directed and produced the pilots for *The First* (Hulu), and *1983* (Netflix).

The Annual Copernicus Lecture is presented as part of the 27th Ann Arbor Polish Film Festival. While the festival requires tickets, the lecture will be broadcast at no charge. More information at https://www.annarborpolishfilmfestival.com/.

Annual Copernicus Lecture. An Interview with Agnieszka Holland (November 8, 2020 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/78760 78760-20121151@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, November 8, 2020 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

As part of the 27th Ann Arbor Polish Film Festival (AAPFF), acclaimed Polish film director Agnieszka Holland returns to the University of Michigan to deliver her second Annual Copernicus Lecture, an interview with Johannes von Moltke, professor of Germanic languages and literatures and of film, television and media, and acting director of the Weiser Center for Europe & Eurasia, U-M; and Benjamin Paloff, associate professor of Slavic languages and literatures and of comparative literature, and acting director of the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies, U-M.

Agnieszka Holland is justly famous for the way in which her films tackle “the perversely captivating 20th century,” as she put it, in all of its complexity. She has devoted her talents as a filmmaker to thoughtful explorations of fascism and communism, their aftermaths, and their lasting effects on those who were caught up in the political, moral, and ethical decisions that these regimes demanded of everyone in their orbit. In this hour-long interview, Agnieszka Holland discusses the role of history and politics in her filmmaking, her interest in characters who face difficult moral dilemmas, her work in Europe and Hollywood, her most recent film *Charlatan* (2019), and her desire to help shape a “cinema of the middle” by making thoughtful, artistic films with broad popular appeal.

Agnieszka Holland was born in Warsaw and graduated from FAMU, the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. Upon her return to Poland she joined the group of promising young Polish directors, “the filmmakers of moral unrest,” associated with Andrzej Wajda. Her early Polish films earned her a great deal of critical acclaim, but Holland is best-known for her Academy Award-nominated films *Angry Harvest* (Best Foreign Language Film 1985), *Europa Europa* (Best Screenplay 1990), and *In Darkness* (Best Foreign Language Film 2011). Recent films include *Spoor (Pokot)*, based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk; *Mr. Jones*; and *Charlatan*. As a screenwriter, Holland collaborated with Krzysztof Kieślowski (*Three Colours*, 1993), and wrote several scripts for her mentor, Andrzej Wajda. She has worked extensively in television, directing episodes of *The Wire* and *Treme*, for which she received an Emmy nomination in 2009. Recently she directed and produced the pilots for *The First* (Hulu), and *1983* (Netflix).

The Annual Copernicus Lecture is presented as part of the 27th Ann Arbor Polish Film Festival. While the festival requires tickets, the lecture will be broadcast at no charge. More information at https://www.annarborpolishfilmfestival.com/.

Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

The University Center for Language and Literacy is offering a workshop designed to help you reach personal communication goals. *Speaking American English: A workshop for English Language Learners* offers a supportive environment where you have the opportunity to practice the language skills that are important to you.

Our certified Speech-Language Pathologists use techniques to help non-native English speakers feel more confident in their communications – whether that’s giving a presentation, or taking notes in a class with a native speaker who speaks fast. The goal of the program is not to eliminate a client’s accent, but to build confidence in any communication or setting.

Participants set their own individual goals at the start of the workshop and will work to achieve those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction. The workshop typically runs for 10 weeks, but will depend on when it begins. If the group workshop does work with your schedule, please contact us; individual consultations are available.

What to Expect
* An initial meeting focusing on setting your personal goals and objectives
* Both group and individual activities
* Exercises for improving articulation, rate control, and projection
* Increased confidence in social and professional interactions
* Guidance from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist

In his recently-published book, “Migration and Integration; The Case for Liberalism with Borders,” Professor Farer argues that any legal argument for a general right to enter is flimsy. But, he goes on to propose, by invoking two of the deep values on which treaty-based human rights rest, you can make a strong moral case for recognizing a human right to cross international borders in search of a better life (not merely to escape persecution). But the case is not conclusive because it is possible to invoke human rights norms to support the claim that a democratic electorate has the moral authority to decide who may enter the country and on what terms. How should people who imagine themselves as liberal resolve these competing claims? In Farer’s hierarchy of liberal values, the preservation of liberal democratic governments ranks at the top. Today the walls of liberal government are being breached by right-wing demagogues who have weaponized the migration issue. Farer’s premise is that liberals need to defend the walls by taking possession of the issue. They can do so only by conceding the electorate’s right to decide who and how many may enter and by demonstrating the will to enforce the electorate’s decisions. However, once they have demonstrated their rejection of open borders, they can appeal on moral as well as on the grounds of societal self-interest for a generous admissions policy and do so with the promise of electoral success.

Tom Farer, University Professor at the University of Denver, was dean of the Josef Korbel School of International Studies for 14 years, 1996-2010. He has served as President of the University of New Mexico, President of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, a principal organ of the OAS, and President of the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs.

He has been a senior fellow of the Carnegie Endowment, the Council on Foreign Relations (of which he is now a member) and the Smithsonian’s Wilson Center for International Scholars. He is on the editorial boards of the American Journal of International Law and the Human Rights Quarterly. He has consulted for Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. In the US Government he served as special assistant to the General Counsel of the Department of Defense and later as special assistant to the Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs. When Somalia still had a state, he served as assistant to the commanding general of the Somali National Police Force and taught both criminal law and karate to members of the force. In 1993 he served as legal advisor to the UN Peace Enforcement operation in Somalia and in 1994 served as an external reviewer of Uganda’s draft constitution.

He has published a dozen books and monographs and over 150 book chapters and articles which have appeared in journals including Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, the New York Review of Books, the London Review of Books, Newsweek, and the Harvard and Columbia Law Reviews. His penultimate book is "Confronting Global Terrorism and American Neo-Conservatism:The Framework of a Liberal Grand Strategy." He has just completed a book titled “Migration and Integration: The Case for Liberalism with Borders” which Cambridge University Press will publish in January 2020.

He is a graduate of Princeton and the Harvard Law School, both Magna cum Laude. At Harvard he was Notes Editor of the Law Review. He has taught law at Columbia, Rutgers, Tulane, Harvard and American University and foreign policy at Johns Hopkins School of International Studies, Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School, American University’s School of International Service and Cambridge University. He has been an Honorary Professor at Peking University and has an honorary doctorate from Panteion University in Athens, Greece.

Dr. Brown will discuss The Impact of Access to Clean Water on Cognitive and Physical Development: Evidence from Mexico's Programa de Agua Limpia.


BIO:
Ryan Brown's research interests span multiple fields of applied microeconomics including development economics, labor economics, health economics, economic demography, and political economy.

Ryan's work has primarily focused on applying econometric techniques to population representative data in both developed and developing country settings, to examine how changes in the social, physical, and/or economic environment can have a persistent impact on health, preferences, and human capital accumulation. Recently, I have also begun to explore the relationship between the success of women competing for positions in entry-level positions and its subsequent impact on the gender gap at the top of the career ladder.

PSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

CREES Noon Lecture. Someone Else’s Problems: The Dissident Author Post-Dissidence (November 18, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76038 76038-19655369@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 18, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

Postwar literature in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly as it has been framed in Western Europe and North America, has been shaped by strong personalities whose exile from their respective homelands helped enshroud their critiques of authoritarianism in so-called “moral authority.” But in quitting the Soviet Union, Poland, or Czechoslovakia for new lives in countries like the United States and France, these writers often found themselves in the midst of sociopolitical upheavals whose terms they scarcely understood and to whose contexts their own struggles offered no clear analogy. This talk reevaluates the Western careers of four of the most prominent authors to whom such “moral authority” has been generally ascribed—Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Joseph Brodsky, Czesław Miłosz, and Milan Kundera—against the backdrop of the struggle for civil rights and racial justice in their adopted countries.

Benjamin Paloff is the author of *Lost in the Shadow of the Word (Space, Time, and Freedom in Interwar Eastern Europe)*—named the 2018 Best Book in Literary Studies by AATSEEL—and of the poetry collections *And His Orchestra* (2015) and *The Politics* (2011). He has translated nearly a dozen books, most recently Dorota Masłowska’s *Honey, I Killed the Cats*, and has been awarded fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts (twice, in poetry and in translation), the US Fulbright Programs, the Stanford Humanities Center, and the PEN/Heim Translation Fund, among others. He is associate professor of Slavic languages and literatures and of comparative literature at the University of Michigan, where he also serves as acting director of the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies.

Registration is required for this Zoom webinar at http://myumi.ch/DE70Z.

Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

The University Center for Language and Literacy is offering a workshop designed to help you reach personal communication goals. *Speaking American English: A workshop for English Language Learners* offers a supportive environment where you have the opportunity to practice the language skills that are important to you.

Our certified Speech-Language Pathologists use techniques to help non-native English speakers feel more confident in their communications – whether that’s giving a presentation, or taking notes in a class with a native speaker who speaks fast. The goal of the program is not to eliminate a client’s accent, but to build confidence in any communication or setting.

Participants set their own individual goals at the start of the workshop and will work to achieve those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction. The workshop typically runs for 10 weeks, but will depend on when it begins. If the group workshop does work with your schedule, please contact us; individual consultations are available.

What to Expect
* An initial meeting focusing on setting your personal goals and objectives
* Both group and individual activities
* Exercises for improving articulation, rate control, and projection
* Increased confidence in social and professional interactions
* Guidance from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist

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?

Location:
Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

The University Center for Language and Literacy is offering a workshop designed to help you reach personal communication goals. *Speaking American English: A workshop for English Language Learners* offers a supportive environment where you have the opportunity to practice the language skills that are important to you.

Our certified Speech-Language Pathologists use techniques to help non-native English speakers feel more confident in their communications – whether that’s giving a presentation, or taking notes in a class with a native speaker who speaks fast. The goal of the program is not to eliminate a client’s accent, but to build confidence in any communication or setting.

Participants set their own individual goals at the start of the workshop and will work to achieve those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction. The workshop typically runs for 10 weeks, but will depend on when it begins. If the group workshop does work with your schedule, please contact us; individual consultations are available.

What to Expect
* An initial meeting focusing on setting your personal goals and objectives
* Both group and individual activities
* Exercises for improving articulation, rate control, and projection
* Increased confidence in social and professional interactions
* Guidance from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist

Sheri Hagen, director. In German with English subtitles (92 min., 2012).

Through its engagement with blindness as both a trope and a physical reality, Sheri Hagen’s *At Second Glance (Auf den zweiten Blick)* raises provocative questions regarding color blindness, race and racism, and in/visibility in contemporary German society. By challenging the normative category of whiteness, as well as able-bodiedness and heterosexuality, the film also explores alternative modes of seeing through the visual medium of cinema.

Sheri Hagen is a Nigerian-German director, screenwriter, actress, and founder of the production company Equality Film GmbH. Born in Lagos, she grew up in Hamburg and has lived and worked in Berlin since the 1990s. After training as a stage actress, Hagen then appeared in numerous film productions and television series, before returning to theater in 2010. Across her career, Hagen has worked on film projects as author, director, and producer. *Auf den zweiten Blick (At Second Glance)* is her debut film as a director. It won awards at the Filmfest Emden-Norderney (2012) and the Kirchen Filmfestival Recklinghausen (2013).

Those who register for the Q&A with Sheri Hagen on 1/29/21 will receive a link and password to view the film *At Second Glance (Auf den zweiten Blick)* between January 18-29, 2021. Register for the discussion at https://myumi.ch/jxo3w.
