Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine, a part of the former Soviet Union. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994, and for the next 22 years, New York became her home. In 2016, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries, whether tangible or not.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

This series of paintings was inspired by the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy and the images of migrant families being separated and detained at the US-Mexico border that dominated media outlets across the nation since the summer of 2017. The exhibition also includes nearly 100 I.D. photos of migrant children from a Texas holding center. Buentello took the photos in 2014 while working for an intake agency.

"Focusing on images from the US media sources that exposed the violence of migrants’ dehumanization, vulnerability, fear, loss, and criminalization, the paintings document the embodiment of state-authorized brutality and erasures of personhood." -Ruth Leonela Buentello

This project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Speaking American English (October 23, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/66521 66521-16744961@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 23, 2019 2:00pm
Location: V. Vaughan
Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.

The workshop will run from October 16 to December 18, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesdays. The time is TBD. There will be no meeting on November 27. The program cost is $275.00, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.

If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

Donia Human Rights Center Lecture. The Due Process of Cruelty: Trump’s Immigration Policy and the Rule of Law (October 23, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/66498 66498-16742862@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 23, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Donia Human Rights Center

Most legal efforts to stop anti-immigrant policies adopted by the Trump Administration have, at most, slowed their implementation, and have just as often failed entirely. According to polls, public opinion seems to have rejected the Trump approach to immigration, and yet the political process seems unable to change it. This lecture by a scholar and advocate at the frontlines addresses these apparent failures, and in the process identifies gaps in international law, administrative law and constitutional norms that have left immigrants uniquely exposed to harm at a time of rising nationalism and xenophobia.

Michael Kagan (J.D. Michigan 2000), is Joyce Mack Professor of Law at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he is Director of the UNLV Immigration Clinic. As a scholar, Prof. Kagan has written extensively about the intersection of immigration law with civil liberties and administrative law, and is the author of some of the most widely cited articles in international refugee law. As a legal advocate, Prof. Kagan started his career developing legal aid for Sudanese, Somali, Iraqi and other refugees in the Middle East. He now directs a clinic that defends people facing deportation in Las Vegas, Nevada. In a private capacity, Prof. Kagan was a plaintiff in Kravitz v. Department of Commerce, one of the lawsuits that ultimately prevented a citizenship question from being added to the 2020 United States Census.

Agnieszka Holland and Kasia Adamik, directors. In Polish with English subtitles (128 min., 2017).

Duszejko, an eccentric retired construction engineer, an astrologist and a vegetarian, lives in a small mountain village on the Czech-Polish border. One day her beloved dogs disappear. A few months later she discovers a dead body of her neighbour, a poacher. The only traces leading to the mysterious death are those of roe deer hooves around the house…

As time goes by, more grisly killings are discovered. The victims, all hunters, belonged to the local elite. The police investigation proves ineffective. Duszejko has her own theory: all murders were committed by wild animals…

Please join us for a free film screening of "Spoor" and Central European treats to celebrate Polish author Olga Tokarczuk's 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature.

"Spoor" was adapted from Olga Tokarczuk's novel "Drag Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead." We will give away a limited number of free copies of the book to the first guests through the door.

Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine, a part of the former Soviet Union. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994, and for the next 22 years, New York became her home. In 2016, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time.

POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews opened its core exhibition less than five years ago, but it has already attracted millions of visitors and massive and favorable media attention both in Poland and internationally, and earned the major European museum awards. However, since it opposed the so-called Holocaust complicity law in early 2018 and organized a large public program for the 50th anniversary of the 1968 “anti-Zionist campaign” in communist Poland, it has become an object of media attacks and criticism by the government. This lecture will present the processes that had led to the establishment of the museum and its remarkable success. It will examine how these processes have changed under a culture war dividing the country; a tendency for expansive government control; and a memory policy, which rejects critical coming to terms with difficult pasts as a “pedagogy of shame” and calls for a glorious vision of national history, focusing on heroism and victimhood.

Dariusz Stola is a historian and professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences. He has published ten books and more than 100 articles on the history of Polish-Jewish relations, the Holocaust, international migrations and communist regime, as well as on Polish debates about these pasts. In 2014-2019, he was the Polin Museum director.

This opportunity is open to Ford School students, who will receive a separate sign up email. A light lunch will be served.

Monday, October 28: Indo-Pacific Diplomacy:What to Look for at the November 4 East Asia Summit in Bangkok

The South China Sea. The Korean Peninsula. Trade tensions. Myanmar’s Rakhine State and the plight of displaced persons from the Rohingya community. These are among the many diplomatic issues expected to be discussed by the 18 leaders from around the Indo-Pacific Region participating in the East Asia Summit (EAS) to be held in Thailand on November 4. Retired U.S. Ambassador Daniel Shields, whose 33-year Foreign Service career in Southeast Asia, China, Japan, and Washington included deep involvement in the 2013 EAS in Brunei and the 2017 EAS in the Philippines, will share personal insights, as an experienced diplomatic practitioner no longer speaking for the U.S. government, on what to expect from the 2019 EAS.

Monday, November 4: After the Bangkok East Asia Summit: Prospects for Diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific

Just as the East Asia Summit (EAS) in Bangkok concludes on November 4, Ambassador (Ret.) Shields will offer his personal views, not U.S. government policy positions, on what just happened diplomatically in Bangkok and what lies ahead for diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific Region in 2020. One of the unique things about the EAS system is the importance of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) chair/host country. Ambassador (Ret.) Shields will look at the transition from Thai chairmanship in 2019 to Vietnamese chairmanship in 2020. He will analyze what that might mean with regard to the South China Sea, trade uncertainties and other challenges that lie ahead for diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific in 2020.

About the speaker

Ambassador (Ret.) Daniel Shields consults, teaches courses and conducts simulations relating to diplomacy and U.S.-Asia relations. From 2015-18, while on detail from the U.S. State Department as the Diplomatic Advisor to the Commandant at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, he helped educate future strategic leaders on how to integrate the diplomatic, informational, military and economic (DIME) instruments of power to achieve national security objectives. He served as the U.S. Ambassador to Brunei from 2011-14, handling sensitive South China Sea-related issues in connection with Brunei’s hosting in 2013 of the various Summits involving the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Ambassador (Ret.) Shields led two other U.S. diplomatic Missions in Southeast Asia as Chargé d’Affaires (at times when no Ambassador was in place.) In response to an urgent request from the State Department, he temporarily left the Army War College for six months in 2017 to serve as the Chargé at the U.S. Mission to ASEAN in Jakarta, traveling to Manila to support participation by the President and Cabinet Secretaries in the ASEAN-related Summits. His other Chargé duty was for 15 months, mainly in 2009, when he led Embassy Singapore in supporting then-President Obama’s participation in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings.

His early to mid-career assignments were mainly in Japan and China, including as Political Minister Counselor at Embassy Beijing from 2004-07. He speaks Japanese and Chinese. His first tour in the Foreign Service was as a Vice Consul at Embassy Manila from 1985-87, where he witnessed firsthand and reported on the People Power demonstrations and the fall of the Marcos regime.

WCED Lecture. Hegemon Risen: Turkey's Emergence as an Independent Authoritarian State (October 28, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/67748 67748-16926558@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 28, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies

In 2000, leaders in the last Western-orientated Turkish government embarked on a strategic realignment and defense plan that encouraged more independent military actions and intensified the internal debate about Turkish identity. After the collapse of Turkey's policies toward Syria and ISIS and the renewal of hostilities with Kurdish insurgents, Turkish-American relations became ever more strained. Increasing violence along the border and inside Turkey culminated in July 2016 with an unsuccessful coup against President Erdogan. The coup’s failure cleared the way for Turkey to become the independent authoritarian state we recognize today, an independent regional hegemon increasingly restive in the NATO alliance and no longer closely allied with the U.S.

Michael Hickok received his PhD in Ottoman history at the University of Michigan and soon thereafter published his first book, which has been hailed as a pioneering work showing the Empire in the 18th century to have been a functioning, viable state with internal problems but robust legal and administrative institutions to contain them. After several years of teaching, he went to work for the CIA and then the FBI, where he was recognized for extraordinary service and valor during the failed anti-Erdogan coup. He has both written about and participated in these events over the course of a career in Turkish affairs. He is currently Las Vegas Division Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge.

Organized by the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies with support from the Donia Human Rights Center, Department of History, and Michigan War Studies Group.

Daniel Kim, associate professor of English and American studies at Brown University and 2019 Norman Freehling Visiting Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities gives a 30-minute talk followed by Q & A.

In this talk Kim examines two cinematic representations of the Korean War as a way of comparing how US and South Korean nationalist narratives attempt to justify the staggering loss of civilian life that took place during the conflict. At the dramatic center of *One Minute to Zero*, a Hollywood film from 1952, is a massacre of refugees. Kim contextualizes this depiction within the framework of what he terms Military Humanitarianism, an ideology that emerged in the United States during this period to frame its interventions as benevolent. Somewhat surprisingly this film openly foregrounds how US forces, in the course of saving Korean civilians from the menace of Communism, will also have to kill them. *Taegukgi: The Brotherhood of War*, a South Korean blockbuster that appeared in 2004, similarly casts a spotlight on the atrocities that were inflicted upon civilians, though in this case by South Korean military and paramilitary forces. Both films sentimentally embed their viewers in an ethos of sacrifice, an affectively saturated biopolitical calculus, in which such deaths emerge as a tragic but ultimately necessary price for securing the nation’s future. Overall, this talk elaborates a transnational mode of analyzing such works that maintains a contrapuntal awareness of how critiques of the dominant narratives in one nationalist tradition might reinforce those in another and vice versa.

Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine, a part of the former Soviet Union. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994, and for the next 22 years, New York became her home. In 2016, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries, whether tangible or not.

This series of paintings was inspired by the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy and the images of migrant families being separated and detained at the US-Mexico border that dominated media outlets across the nation since the summer of 2017. The exhibition also includes nearly 100 I.D. photos of migrant children from a Texas holding center. Buentello took the photos in 2014 while working for an intake agency.

"Focusing on images from the US media sources that exposed the violence of migrants’ dehumanization, vulnerability, fear, loss, and criminalization, the paintings document the embodiment of state-authorized brutality and erasures of personhood." -Ruth Leonela Buentello

This project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.

The workshop will run from October 16 to December 18, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesdays. The time is TBD. There will be no meeting on November 27. The program cost is $275.00, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.

If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

Newnan-ELI Fall 2019 Undergraduate Sessions

Any interested international undergraduate students are invited to this free session, a conversation with Newnan and ELI about effectively procuring great letters of reference from faculty members. In this session, we will look together at what a solid letter of recommendation contributes to your application for grad school, an internship program, a scholarship, or other future endeavors you may be considering. We will identify what information to supply to your recommenders, and how to ask most politely (with a higher likelihood of "yes"). If time allows, we can practice making the ask with one another.

Organized By: Department of History

We are excited to invite you to the Global Theories of Critique's second event of the academic year, with our theme for this year being "On the Failed and Marginal," focusing on the excluded and undermined from and in Euro-American histories. Challenging these histories or going against and beyond them demands an interrogation of the space from which we think, write, and act: the university and its various arms. Following this thinking, our second event will be a workshop on "Rethinking the University: On Discipline, Excellence, and Solidarity" with Professor Reginald Jackson, to be held on Thursday, Oct. 31st, 4-6 pm, room 1014 Tisch Hall, dinner included.

Professor Jackson is an Associate Professor of Pre-modern Japanese Literature at U of M's department of Asian Languages and Cultures, and has been long committed to thinking and practicing knowledge production in relation to solidarity with the marginalized and forgotten, within both the university's own space and its many outsides. As such, ahead of this event, we recommend reading Professor Jackson's recently published article, titled "Solidarity's Indiscipline: Regarding Miyoshi's Pedagogical Legacy," along with two theoretical pieces he is in engaging with. All readings are available here, and we recommend reading them in this order:

Readings, “The Idea of Excellence”
Jackson, “Solidarity’s Indiscipline: Regarding Miyoshi's Pedagogical Legacy”
Moten and Harney, “The University and the Undercommons” (optional)

Additionally, if you plan on attending this event, please RSVP here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd9zWJXZZnlGwM1-MIwVj7GNA5DZ_vnK-KvGxWzV26Is898Vw/viewform. We would also very much appreciate circulating this invite with any student, department or anyone else who might be interested in this event.

This event and the Global Theories of Critique project are part of a partnership between the University of Michigan and the American University in Cairo (AUC) focusing on Public Humanities in the Global South supported by a Grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to AUC. Please get in touch with Hakem Al-Rustom (hakemaa@umich.edu) or Raya Naamneh (rnaamneh@umich.edu) with any questions.

Dia De La Muertos (November 1, 2019 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68327 68327-17046007@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 1, 2019 5:30pm
Location: School of Public Health Bldg I and Crossroads and Tower
Organized By: MENA ( Middle Eastern and North African) Public Health

You are cordially invited to this year’s “Dia de Los Muertos” event taking place on November 1st from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM in the School of Public Health’s Community Room 1680. MENA (Middle Eastern and North African) Public Health, La Salud, and PHSAD (Public Health Students of African Descent) have partnered to present a Dia de Los Muertos event which is meant to commemorate all the lives lost to any discrimination or racism in the U.S. and internationally.

Dia de Los Muertos stems from Mexican traditions and originates from Aztec practices. We use this day to celebrate, not mourn, the lives of our beloved departed and rejoice by sharing ofrendas that remember the individual as they were in life. Although this festive occasion is meant to welcome our loved ones, there are many lives that were forgotten both in life and death. These lives were victimized, racialized, and prosecuted during life as a result of structural racism and exclusion. This year, we hope to raise awareness for the lives that were silenced and empower future practitioners to advocate for these communities and prevent future injustices.
We celebrate in community to provide space for the living and dead, and invite you to join us for an evening of activities, dialogue, food and performances! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Organized By: Persian Student Association

Iran is one of the key elements in shaping America’s foreign policy..... yet it remains one of the most misrepresented countries in the American media. As Anthony Bourdain put it, “The Iran you see from the inside—once you walk the streets of Tehran; once you meet Iranians—is a very different place than the Iran you know from the news.”

Come join us for a presentation to debunk stereotypes, and get a better glimpse of Iranians and Iranian life.

Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine, a part of the former Soviet Union. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994, and for the next 22 years, New York became her home. In 2016, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries, whether tangible or not.

This opportunity is open to Ford School students, who will receive a separate sign up email. A light lunch will be served.

Monday, October 28: Indo-Pacific Diplomacy:What to Look for at the November 4 East Asia Summit in Bangkok

The South China Sea. The Korean Peninsula. Trade tensions. Myanmar’s Rakhine State and the plight of displaced persons from the Rohingya community. These are among the many diplomatic issues expected to be discussed by the 18 leaders from around the Indo-Pacific Region participating in the East Asia Summit (EAS) to be held in Thailand on November 4. Retired U.S. Ambassador Daniel Shields, whose 33-year Foreign Service career in Southeast Asia, China, Japan, and Washington included deep involvement in the 2013 EAS in Brunei and the 2017 EAS in the Philippines, will share personal insights, as an experienced diplomatic practitioner no longer speaking for the U.S. government, on what to expect from the 2019 EAS.

Monday, November 4: After the Bangkok East Asia Summit: Prospects for Diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific

Just as the East Asia Summit (EAS) in Bangkok concludes on November 4, Ambassador (Ret.) Shields will offer his personal views, not U.S. government policy positions, on what just happened diplomatically in Bangkok and what lies ahead for diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific Region in 2020. One of the unique things about the EAS system is the importance of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) chair/host country. Ambassador (Ret.) Shields will look at the transition from Thai chairmanship in 2019 to Vietnamese chairmanship in 2020. He will analyze what that might mean with regard to the South China Sea, trade uncertainties and other challenges that lie ahead for diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific in 2020.

About the speaker

Ambassador (Ret.) Daniel Shields consults, teaches courses and conducts simulations relating to diplomacy and U.S.-Asia relations. From 2015-18, while on detail from the U.S. State Department as the Diplomatic Advisor to the Commandant at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, he helped educate future strategic leaders on how to integrate the diplomatic, informational, military and economic (DIME) instruments of power to achieve national security objectives. He served as the U.S. Ambassador to Brunei from 2011-14, handling sensitive South China Sea-related issues in connection with Brunei’s hosting in 2013 of the various Summits involving the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Ambassador (Ret.) Shields led two other U.S. diplomatic Missions in Southeast Asia as Chargé d’Affaires (at times when no Ambassador was in place.) In response to an urgent request from the State Department, he temporarily left the Army War College for six months in 2017 to serve as the Chargé at the U.S. Mission to ASEAN in Jakarta, traveling to Manila to support participation by the President and Cabinet Secretaries in the ASEAN-related Summits. His other Chargé duty was for 15 months, mainly in 2009, when he led Embassy Singapore in supporting then-President Obama’s participation in the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings.

His early to mid-career assignments were mainly in Japan and China, including as Political Minister Counselor at Embassy Beijing from 2004-07. He speaks Japanese and Chinese. His first tour in the Foreign Service was as a Vice Consul at Embassy Manila from 1985-87, where he witnessed firsthand and reported on the People Power demonstrations and the fall of the Marcos regime.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Donia Human Rights Center

Amira Hanafi works with language as a material, assembling polyvocal archives connected to particular histories, from which she then draws to make digital and print publications, performances, and installations. The artist will present her digital works 'We are fragmented' and 'A dictionary of the revolution,' reflecting on some of the questions and complications that arise when assembling text from other people's voices.

'We are fragmented' was made in response to research conducted in five countries by the Centre for Applied Human Rights at the University of York. Researchers spoke with human rights defenders around issues of security and wellbeing. The artist was given access to a collection of fragmented transcriptions of these interviews and commissioned to make a work about them. At the time of making this work, she was also completing the long-term project ‘A dictionary of the revolution,’ an experiment in polyvocal story-telling of the 2011 uprising in Egypt and its aftermath. For the project, she had collected over 200 hours of recorded conversation and woven transcriptions of this speech into 125 entries in ‘A dictionary’. Both works present new formats for reading through research, based in intuition, emotion, and connection.

Born 1979 in the US, Amira Hanafi has lived and worked in Cairo since 2010. Her work has been exhibited internationally, most recently at Dokk1 Library in Aarhus, Sodų 4 in Vilnius, Studio XX in Montréal, Flux Factory in New York, and at the Lisbon Consortium in Portugal. Her texts have appeared in Ibraaz, Matrix, Makhzin, Fence, American Letters & Commentary, and Index on Censorship, among other publications. She is the author of the books Forgery and Minced English, a number of limited edition artist’s books, and several works of electronic literature, including ‘A dictionary of the revolution,’ which won the Public Library Prize for Electronic Literature 2019, the New Media Writing Prize 2018, and the Artraker Award for Changing the Narrative 2017. She earned a Master of Fine Arts in Writing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2008) and a Bachelor of Political Science from Rutgers College (2000).

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.

The workshop will run from October 16 to December 18, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesdays. The time is TBD. There will be no meeting on November 27. The program cost is $275.00, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.

If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

From refugee crises and global poverty to rigged elections, growing populism – and the intolerance and oppression it breeds, we are at a pivotal moment in the fight for human rights. Throughout his years of service as a career diplomat and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein has been a champion for the protection of fundamental human rights. His work has involved the security of equality, justice, and respect – and has directly influenced international justice, United Nations peacekeeping, and women’s development. In this speech, Zeid discusses his concerns about the threats to global stability posed by such forces as racism, xenophobia, nationalism and authoritarian leaders, and poses that the safety of humanity will be secured only through vision, energy and generosity of spirit. According to Zeid, “Silence does not earn you any respect — none,” and only through civic activism can we ensure equality and justice.

Prince Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein of Jordan is the former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. Known for his outspoken criticism of the fascism, religious radicalism, and threats to civil liberties growing in countries around the world, Zeid was a powerful advocate for human rights and open societies. Zeid was the sixth High Commissioner for Human Rights, serving from 2014 to 2018. He was the first Arab and Muslim to hold the post. In his speaking engagements, Zeid draws from his career in diplomacy and as the Human Rights Chief to address the geopolitical climate, relations in the middle east, and the current challenges to human rights. At the U.N., he called upon powerful and small states alike to secure human rights in their own countries and internationally, drawing notable attention to atrocities committed in Syria, Venezuela, Nicaragua, by ISIS, to the treatment of migrants and refugees in Libya, and the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar. His principled approach to his role became most evident when he announced that he wouldn’t seek a second term due to the trying task of dealing with governments and the limited power of the U.N. security council. In his final U.N. address, Zeid shared his concern about the threat to global stability posed by increasing nationalism, and warned world powers against undermining civil liberties. A veteran multilateral diplomat, Zeid was Jordan’s Permanent Representative to the U.N. from 2000 to 2007 and again from 2010 to 2014. From 2007 to 2010 he was Jordan’s Ambassador to the U.S. He also served as Jordan’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the U.N. with the rank of Ambassador from 1996-2000. An expert in the field of international justice, Zeid was a central figure in the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC), chairing the complex negotiations to establish the exact terms of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. He was subsequently elected the first President of the governing body of the ICC in 2002, and grew it into the internationally recognized court that it is today. Zeid has been active on many legal issues, including international law, post-conflict peace-building, international development, counter-nuclear terrorism, and women’s development. Following allegations of widespread abuse being committed by U.N. peacekeepers, Zeid was appointed by Kofi Annan as Advisor to the Secretary-General on Sexual Exploitation and Abuse. His report on this subject was the first comprehensive strategy for the elimination of sexual exploitation and abuse in U.N. peacekeeping operations. He recently pledged to be an International Gender Champion, committed to advancing gender equality in the office of Human Rights. In 2018, the International Women's Health Coalition honored Zeid with the Visionary Leadership Award. He was also the Stockholm Human Rights Award recipient in 2015 and winner of Foreign Policy's Career Diplomat of the Year Award in 2018. In 1989, Zeid received his commission as an officer in the Jordanian desert police (the successor to the Arab Legion) and saw service with them until 1994. He spent two years as a political affairs officer for UNPROFOR, the United Nations (U.N.) force in the former Yugoslavia, before starting his diplomatic career. Zeid holds a B.A. from The Johns Hopkins University, a PhD. in history from Cambridge University, and was presented with an Honorary Doctorate of Laws by the Southern California Institute of Law for his work on international justice.

Liberty in North Korea at the University of Michigan is excited to invite two North Korean advocacy fellows from the LiNK HQ, Jeongyol Ri and Ilhyeok Kim, come to campus on November 6th, 2019!

Join us as they reflect on their first-hand experiences as North Korean escapees, and their adjustment after relocation.

━━
Jeongyol Ri was born in 1998, and spent his childhood in Pyongsong. Math was his most notable passion— by the time he was in elementary school, he had already in mastered a middle school math curriculum. He later went on to represent the the North Korean team for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Over the course of four competitions, he had obtained a four silver medals. His success led the North Korean government to offer him a job, but he did not want to work for the regime. The Hong Kong IMO was Jeongyol’s last chance to defect while abroad; he was only 18 years old. While the rest of his team was packing for the return home, he snuck out and sought asylum at the South Korean consulate. In 2016 Jeongyol resettled in South Korea and in 2019 started Seoul National University.

Ilhyeok Kim was born in 1995 in Saetbyeol when the famine had just begun. As a result of the famine, his father became a broker who helped defectors in South Korea send money to relatives still in North Korea. When Ilhyeok was 12, his father was caught and imprisoned, but was eventually released for owning a Chinese cell phone. From that day onward, the government kept a close eye on his family. Despite the repercussions they would face if they escaped, they bravely decided to flee. In 2011 they arrived in South Korea. Ilhyeok aspires to work for the United Nations one day.

Furigana has its origins in Chinese documents and started to be used in Japan around the 10th century. Furigana was used to indicate the pronunciations of various Kanji (Chinese characters).

When Japanese people began to use Kanji to express both Chinese and Japanese characters, they began to adopt Kanji even when they express Japanese words.

Although Furigana, as phonetic characters, could express Japanese words, Chinese characters continued to be used because a significant amount of Chinese words had already become enrooted within the Japanese lexicon. Both Chinese characters, which are ideographic characters, and Furigana, which are phonetic characters, were used in the Japanese language. This lecture covers the development and the influence of Furigana as “linguistic phenomenon" in Japanese literary history.

Professor Konno’s specialty covers the history of the Japanese language from the 7th century to medieval to early modern period (Muromachi to Meiji period). His methodology is to find the common practice within the Japanese language during different periods of history and the language usage in art and everyday culture. His lecture is planning to focus on the development of KANA and the usage of FURIGANA and its influence on the literary expression found in various publications and art. His lecture should be of interest for both academic and layman audiences who are interested in Japanese Studies. His lecturer at Michigan should be informative for community members interested in Japanese culture.

Donia Human Rights Center Lecture.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Donia Human Rights Center

In a period where the international human rights system faces growing strain, Jared Genser’s United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention: Commentary and Guide to Practice is the first comprehensive review of the contributions of this important institution to understanding arbitrary detention, rule of law, and protecting human dignity today. The Working Group is a body of five independent human rights experts that considers individual complaints of arbitrary detention and decide whether a detention is compatible with international law. Since its establishment in 1991, it has adopted more than 1,200 case opinions and conducted more than 50 country missions. Written for both practitioners and scholars alike, this book also covers five case studies – from China, Turkey, Myanmar, The Maldives and France. The foreword is written by Archbishop Desmond M. Tutu.

Genser’s lecture will provide important background and commentary on this little-known but very important United Nations body and he will bring to life how its opinions can be combined with political and public relations advocacy efforts to free political prisoners.

Review of The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention: Commentary and Guide to Practice from Prince Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (2014-2018):

“This meticulously researched volume is the first book to review the extensive jurisprudence and reporting of the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention since its creation in 1991. Authored by Jared Genser, one of the leading human rights lawyers in the world and someone who I had the pleasure of working with on many of his most challenging cases during my time as High Commissioner, the book is written to be highly accessible even for those without legal background. Importantly, Genser weaves into the narrative his experiences having successfully taken dozens of cases to the Working Group over his career, explaining how he has combined its opinions with focused political and public relations advocacy to secure the release of his clients from prison. This rare combination of serious scholarship with real world application is as powerful as it is inspiring, making this book a must read for anyone wanting to secure the release of political prisoners today.”

Jared Genser is Managing Director of Perseus Strategies, a public interest law firm, and an Adjunct Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center. Referred to by the New York Times as “The Extractor” for his work freeing political prisoners, he was previously a partner in the government affairs practice of DLA Piper LLP and a management consultant with McKinsey & Company. Genser has taught semester-long seminars about the UN Security Council at Georgetown University Law Center and the University of Michigan and University of Pennsylvania law schools. He was an Associate of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University from 2014-2016. His past clients have included former Czech Republic President Vaclav Havel, former Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed, incoming Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, and Nobel Peace Prize Laureates Liu Xiaobo, Desmond Tutu, and Elie Wiesel. He holds a B.S. from Cornell University, an M.P.P. from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, and a J.D. cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School. In addition to his most recent book, Genser is co-editor of The UN Security Council in the Age of Human Rights (Cambridge University Press, 2014), and The Responsibility to Protect: The Promise of Stopping Mass Atrocities in Our Times (Oxford University Press, 2011). He is the recipient of the American Bar Association’s International Human Rights Award.

Stay in homes anywhere in the world. Websites connect you with homeowners who are going away on holiday. Imagine immersing in a culture in the French countryside, an apartment in Florence, or a ranch in the Australian bush. While there, look after the home, cut the grass, and look after animals. Stay for a weekend or for months -- at no cost.

Instructors Josie Schneider and Conrad Knutsan have ten years of house sitting experience under their belts and enjoy sharing that knowledge with others in hopes they will gain an understanding of the beauty of this way of traveling farther, for longer than you ever dreamed possible. In this course for those 50 and over, earn the nuts and bolts of making house sitting happen for you. We’ve already made the mistakes so that you don’t have to. Josie and Conrad’s website is www.housesittingtravel.com

Editing for Organization, Flow, and Precision (November 8, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/67808 67808-16952003@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 8, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

Connecting ideas smoothly for readers is one of the primary challenges in editing one’s own writing. When sharing your writing, do you ever worry that your readers will see a list of sentences more than an elegant, logical flow of ideas? Do you receive feedback asking you to develop ideas further, or connect points together? Do you find yourself using the same logical connectors (e.g. however, similarly, as a result) over and over? In this workshop for graduate student writers, we will explore “information bridges” as a means to improve the organization, flow, and precision of documents you compose. We will work with examples from a range of academic disciplines, and provide tools to explore how information bridges tend to be constructed in your own corner of the academic writing world. Please bring something you've drafted, at any stage in your writing process, to try out editing strategies during the workshop.

Pizza will be provided.

Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine, a part of the former Soviet Union. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994, and for the next 22 years, New York became her home. In 2016, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries, whether tangible or not.

What is the connection between copying and invention? How does the practice of copying an artist’s work increase a drawing student’s own creativity? How do computers look at works of art to learn how to emulate a particular artist’s style? Consider these questions along with Raj Rao Nadakuditi, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computers; Jeff Evans, Clinical Associate Professor Emeritus of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the Medical School and scholar of the psychology of creativity; and Natsu Oyobe, UMMA Curator of Asian Art.

After the fall of communism, Eastern Europeans enjoyed a deep sense of freedom and engagement, convinced that profound social and political change was underway. In 1990s Poland, boundary-pushing artists like Artur Żmijewski played an active role in shaping the new reality. As time progressed, however, the promise of transformative change was revealed to be illusory, and the communists' dominant style of politics persisted. Art became a target for political attacks because of its critical stance toward the Catholic Church and “wild” capitalism.

How should artists react in this increasingly authoritarian situation? Resist? Adapt? Or perhaps create a sort of hybrid position? In this lecture, Żmijewski will discuss the relationship between his art and political engagement in the context of the past thirty years.

Artur Żmijewski was born in Warsaw in 1966. He graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts under the supervision of Professor Grzegorz Kowalski. A multimedia artist, he uses primarily photography and film to explore the line between fiction and documentary. Żmijewski is also an accomplished curator and art critic. He is one of the founding members of the art journal "Czereja," serves as the artistic editor of "Krytyka Polityczna," and directed the 7th Berlin Biennale. In 1995, Żmijewski was a fellow at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam; he received the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Per L'Arte Prize for his work "An Eye for an Eye." In 2005, his “Repetition” was shown in the Polish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, and two years later his film *Them* was screened at Documenta in Kassel. Żmijewski also participated in the 14th edition of Documenta, presenting his films *Glimpse* and *Realism*. From 2007-2008, he was a DAAD Artist in Residence in Berlin where he prepared his project “Democracies.” In 2010 he received the Ordway Prize from the New Museum in New York and Creative Link for the Arts. Żmijewski's films can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Neue Pinakothek in Munich, the Tate Modern in London, the Rubell Family Foundation in Miami, Zachęta National Gallery of Art in Warsaw, Erste Bank Collection in Vienna, and the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris.

In 2016, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time.

Presenters: Andrea Kendall-Taylor, senior fellow and director of the Transatlantic Security Program, Center for a New American Security; Anne Pitcher, professor of political science and professor of Afroamerican and African studies, U-M; Victor Shih, Ho Miu Lam Chair in China and Pacific Relations and associate professor of political economy, University of California San Diego.

Most analyses of authoritarian regimes focus on what makes these regimes either durable or vulnerable to collapse. This roundtable shifts our focus to how authoritarian regimes adapt and confront crises arising from forces that are largely beyond their control: e.g. external sanctions, urbanization, financial downturns, and rapid technological change.

Dan Slater is the Ronald and Eileen Weiser Professor of Emerging Democracies, professor of political science, and WCED Director at the University of Michigan. He specializes in the politics and history of enduring dictatorships and emerging democracies, with a regional focus on Southeast Asia. His research interests include comparative politics, international relations, world politics, and methodology.

Andrea Kendall-Taylor is a Senior Fellow and Director of the Transatlantic Security Program at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS). She works on national security challenges facing the United States and Europe, focusing on Russia, populism and threats to democracy, and the state of the Transatlantic alliance. Prior to joining CNAS, Andrea served for eight years as a senior intelligence officer. From 2015 to 2018, she was Deputy National Intelligence Officer for Russia and Eurasia at the National Intelligence Council (NIC) in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Prior to joining the NIC, Andrea was a senior analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) where she worked on Russia and Eurasia, the political dynamics of autocracies, and democratic decline. Andrea is also an adjunct professor at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. Her work has been published in numerous political science and policy journals, including the Journal of Peace Research, Democratization, Journal of Democracy, Foreign Affairs, the Washington Post, the Washington Quarterly, and Foreign Policy. Andrea received her B.A. in politics from Princeton University and her Ph.D. in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles. She was a Fulbright scholar in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, where she conducted dissertation research on oil and autocracy.

Victor C. Shih is Ho Miu Lam Chair Professor in China and Pacific Relations at the University of California at San Diego specializing in China. He is the author of a book published by the Cambridge University Press entitled “Factions and Finance in China: Elite Conflict and Inflation.” It is the first book to inquire the linkages between elite politics and banking policies in China. His second book, “Economic Shocks and Authoritarian Stability,” will be published by the University of Michigan Press. He is further the author of numerous articles appearing in academic and business journals, including The American Political Science Review, The China Quarterly, Comparative Political Studies, Journal of Politics, The Wall Street Journal and The China Business Review, and frequent adviser to the financial community. Dr. Shih holds a B.A. from the George Washington University and a doctorate in Government from Harvard University. He also was a former principal at the Carlyle Group in the global market group.

Anne Pitcher is a Professor in the Departments of Political Science and Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan. She studies the comparative politics of developing countries, especially those in Africa. Her current research examines party politics, urban political economy, state-business relations, and goods provision under authoritarian and democratic conditions. She has conducted fieldwork, survey and archival research in Angola, Mozambique, Kenya, Zambia, and South Africa and has published several books and dozens of articles in scholarly journals. She recently received a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York to study election related violence in Africa. She formerly served as President of the African Studies Association.

Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine, a part of the former Soviet Union. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994, and for the next 22 years, New York became her home. In 2016, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries, whether tangible or not.

Location: V. Vaughan
Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.

The workshop will run from October 16 to December 18, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesdays. The time is TBD. There will be no meeting on November 27. The program cost is $275.00, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.

If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Why has Japan’s immigration policy remained so restrictive, especially in light of economic, demographic, and international political forces that are pushing Japan to admit more immigrants? Michael Strausz will answer this question by drawing on insights from nearly two years of intensive field research in Japan. In addition to answering this question by outlining the central argument of his 2019 book, Help (Not) Wanted: Immigration Politics in Japan, this presentation provide context to recent developments in Japanese immigration policy – particularly the December 2018 decision to admit more than 300,000 low skilled foreign laborers.

Michael Strausz is an Associate Professor of Political Science and the Director of Asian Studies at Texas Christian University. He earned his BA from Michigan State University and his MA and PhD from the University of Washington. His book, Help (Not) Wanted: Immigration Politics in Japan was recently published with SUNY Press.

Project Management Certification (November 17, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/61540 61540-15126019@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, November 17, 2019 11:00am
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example: a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:
https://tauber.umich.edu/events-training/project-management-certification/2019-03-24/project-management-certification-2019

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Desperate and Displaced: Ensuring NGOs Do Their Best to Help Those in Humanitarian Crises (November 18, 2019 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68677 68677-17136736@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 18, 2019 11:30am
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Weiser Diplomacy Center

We invite the Ford School students to a seminar with Ambassador Klosson from Save the Children.
The session will focus on the expanding number of people caught up in humanitarian crises around the world for increasingly protracted periods, and the role of International Nongovernmental Organizations (INGOs) in responding to these needs. What principles should guide how INGOs go about these responses? The session will provide for an interactive discussion of challenges and dilemmas NGOs must navigate, drawing on several short hypotheticals or case studies and Save the Children’s experience.

Ambassador Michael Klosson joined Save the Children in January 2007 after a career in international affairs and serves as the Vice President for Policy and Humanitarian Responses. He oversees the agency's public policy and advocacy work with the U.S. and foreign governments as well as its global emergency response work.

WCED Lecture. Informal Cooperation or Failure to Cooperate? Explaining Low Levels of Formal Cooperation between Certain Authoritarian States (November 19, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/67499 67499-16866603@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 19, 2019 4:00pm

Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have very few formal international agreements with each other despite sharing attributes that existing scholarship argues promote international cooperation – for example, geographic contiguity, similar legal system, and cultural affinity. Even if we look solely at the UAE and Saudi Arabia, which are both wealthy states, they have registered only one bilateral agreement with the United Nations. In contrast, Canada and the US have registered over 300 bilateral agreements. Does this absence of formal agreements among GCC states imply a cooperation failure? In co-authored work with Melissa Carlson, Koremenos argues that authoritarian monarchies frequently cooperate with each other but do so informally. At the domestic level, absolute monarchs pursue their personal interests by unilaterally and non-transparently developing and implementing policies. These norms of domestic policymaking engender an “absolutist logic,” which shapes how absolute monarchs selectively use informal and formal cooperation at the international level. When cooperating with each other, absolute monarchs maximize mutual private benefits through similarly unilateral and non-transparent policymaking, producing secret, cartel-like informal international agreements. One important implication of our work is that it is regime type, not religion, that drives particular state preferences for informality, thereby refuting prominent work in the field that argues it is the Islamic nature of certain states that propels them toward informal cooperation.

Political Science Professor Barbara Koremenos received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. She won a National Science Foundation CAREER Award for her research -- the first such winner to study international relations and law. She has given seminars in the United States, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Latvia, South Korea, Spain, and Switzerland. Her award-winning book, "The Continent of International Law: Explaining Agreement Design" (Cambridge University Press), focuses on how international law can be structured to make international cooperation most successful given harsh international political realities. Koremenos has published in both political science and law journals, including American Political Science Review, International Organization, Journal of Conflict Resolution, Journal of Legal Studies, and Law and Contemporary Problems. She is currently serving on a National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee concerning Mutual Recognition Agreements in Medicine.

Why President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel prejudiced its character and status (November 19, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69261 69261-17275358@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 19, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Jeffries Hall
Organized By: University of Michigan Law School

President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to move the U.S. embassy to the city has been universally condemned, as it is contrary to a well-established rule of international law stipulating that states must not recognize the fruits of conquest. While the United States chose to exercise its right of veto in the UN Security Council to block a resolution criticizing the presidential decision, the remaining members of the council, including close U.S. allies, criticized it. Similarly, the UN General Assembly, the European Union, the Arab League, and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation have all passed strongly worded resolutions saying that they would not recognize any changes to the pre-1967 borders, including in and around Jerusalem. This talk examines the legal standing of the U.S. decision in light of previous positions that the United States has historically adopted or endorsed.

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.

The workshop will run from October 16 to December 18, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesdays. The time is TBD. There will be no meeting on November 27. The program cost is $275.00, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.

If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

Re-translating Manners: Russification of the Eighteenth-Century French Courtesy Books

Maria Neklyudova is Professor and Chair of the Department of Cultural Studies and Social Communication, School of Advanced Studies in the Humanities, The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA):

Books on good manners and proper etiquette easily travel through time and space and during the last decades managed to adapt to digital reality much better than other types of writing. Although the origins of this phenomenon can be traced to the Renaissance (and beyond), the real flourishing of courtesy treatises started in the 18th century, partially due to the spread of French language and manners throughout European courts. Their sheer number is staggering, yet we still know very little not only about their audience but also about their authors or compilers. With some notable exceptions, such as Baldassare Castiglione’s Il Cortegiano and Baltasar Gracián’s Oráculo, even less attention is paid to their translations. But if we take much less famous treatises, the fact is that most of them were translated at least into one – and more often into several – European languages. For example, many books of Abbé de Bellegarde, a prolific distributor of advice, were rendered into English, German, Portuguese, Polish and Russian. When we compare these translations with the originals (the “originality” of the originals is another problem to be dealt with), it becomes obvious that not all advice was “translatable” either because of political implications or because of linguistic difficulties (the absence of relevant vocabulary in the target language). This paper is part of a research project that attempts to trace the network of translations of the 17th and the 18th century’s courtesy books. It will focus on English and Russian translations of Jacques de Callières’ and Abbé de Bellegarde’s treatises.


National Peculiarity of Boredom: English spleen, French l’ennui, Russian khandra.

Natalia Mazur is Professor of History of Art and Provost, European University at St. Petersburg:

In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, many European philosophers, theologians, physicians and writers agreed that boredom was the main malady of their time. However, the nature and the causes of boredom were explained differently in different countries. The English considered spleen, or the “English malady,” a serious disease often leading to suicide: people afflicted by spleen looked for medical help. The French saw the roots of l’ennui in human psychology or in the structure of the society: one could escape l’ennui through religion or revolution. The protagonists of the best Russian novels – from Pushkin's Eugene Onegin to Goncharov's Ilya Oblomov – were looking for a remedy against boredom. What has happened to boredom in the last two centuries, what do we call it today, and how can the history of emotions help us escape it?

In Russia, like everywhere, graduate students are not free from anxiety about their future career. Did I make the right choice by investing years into studying an obscure subject that few people are interested in? Am I really good at it? Will I get an academic job? And what else can you do with a Ph. D. in the humanities today? And if I get an academic job, will it pay enough for me to survive – and if not, how can I complement my income using my skills and knowledge?

Two distinguished scholars from top Russian graduate schools will tell us about exciting careers and opportunities that their graduate students have created for themselves. They include creating archive collections, developing web-based education projects, starting theater and ballet companies, advising city administration and many other endeavors. This event is specifically addressed to graduate students in the humanities who are thinking about expanding their professional horizon beyond academia

Ambassador Theros was awarded the President’s Meritorious Service Award for career officials and the Secretary of Defense Medal for Meritorious Civilian Service. He retired from the Foreign Service in 1998.

Before Afghanistan, Mr. Neumann, a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, served in Baghdad from February 2004 with the Coalition Provisional Authority and then as Embassy Baghdad’s liaison with the Multinational Command, where he was deeply involved in coordinating the political part of military actions. He currently serves as the President of the American Academy of Diplomacy.

Yet, mental health is so often an unspoken part of the study abroad experience. This event is geared toward students studying abroad or thinking about going abroad where they can receive resources on how to navigate themselves abroad and will also feature a returnee panel who will be sharing their experiences from around the world.

Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine, a part of the former Soviet Union. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994, and for the next 22 years, New York became her home. In 2016, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries, whether tangible or not.

Who is Xi: A Chinese Political Saga of The New Era (November 22, 2019 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69316 69316-17301845@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 22, 2019 5:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Michigan China Forum

Who is Xi? What do we know about him beyond his bland title as the President of the People’s Republic of China? As the strongest Chinese leader in recent years, President Xi Jinping has overseen a multitude of changes affecting both China’s domestic sphere and the international community. Thus, how did he come to power? What role will he play in the history of our time? From the anti-corruption campaign to “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,” how has he transformed the political climate within one of the last surviving parties with “anti-capitalist” principles? What about the economy? Though no longer based on communist principles, it is certainly not the liberal free-market western scholars envisioned it to be. Yet, it is nevertheless characterized by rapid urban development, consumer market growth, and technological breakthrough, though complicated by downward pressure in recent years. How have these domestic factors together challenged Sino-US relations? How can the two countries work together to prevent a downward spiral? With China’s rising global influence, it is never too early to be acquainted with the face of China in the new era. Come join us at a panel discussion moderated by professor Ann Chih Lin, with professors Mary Gallagher, Alan Deardorff, and WCED fellow Jundai Liu as panelists, on how President Xi Jinping has reshaped contemporary Chinese politics and its relations with the United States! The event will be followed by a light reception.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Periphery, Locality, and Status in Writings from Sixteenth-Century Dali, Yunnan (November 26, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64263 64263-16274467@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 26, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

From 1253, when Mongol armies invaded the independent Dali Kingdom in the southeastern foothills of the Himalayas, its capital, Dali, was transformed into a remote periphery of Yuan and then Ming empires. By the sixteenth century, Dali's gentry families, both indigenous and migrant, were increasingly educating their sons in the classical tradition, to enroll in the civil service examinations and take positions as Ming officials. How did their experiences transform the ways that Dali's literati wrote about their hometown, about its people, and about themselves?

Eloise Wright is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. Her research explores practices of reading and writing literary Chinese in what is now southwest China from 1250 to 1700. She received her PhD in History from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2019.

Seeking Justice for Syrian Victims of War Crimes: Possibilities and Limitations of Universal Jurisdiction (December 2, 2019 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68598 68598-17105359@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 2, 2019 11:30am
Location:
Organized By: Weiser Diplomacy Center

This event is open to Ford School students only.

Since 2011, Syrians have witnessed widespread atrocities with an estimated 500,000 killed, tens of thousands disappeared and 12 million displaced from their homes. The International Criminal Court cannot prosecute Syrian war criminals, and international mechanisms created by the UN have no jurisdiction to prosecute. Into this void, European prosecutors in Special War Crimes units have invoked Universal Jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute those suspected of war crimes in Syria. Roger Lu Phillips, Legal Director at the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre, will discuss SJAC's work supporting Universal Jurisdiction prosecutions in Europe as well as its work ascertaining the fate of Syrian victims who have been detained or gone missing during the conflict.

Roger Lu Phillips is a human rights lawyer at the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre (SJAC). He leads SJAC's coordination with special war crimes units in Europe that have undertaken the prosecution of atrocity crimes committed during the Syrian conflict through the exercise of Universal Jurisdiction. Prior to joining SJAC, Mr. Phillips served for ten years as a United Nations lawyer at two international criminal tribunals in Cambodia and for Rwanda.

This event is open to Ford School students only. A light lunch will be provided.

Victoria (Vika) Bulgakova grew up in Ukraine, a part of the former Soviet Union. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1994, and for the next 22 years, New York became her home. In 2016, she moved to Michigan to pursue an MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art. She found the raw beauty of Detroit inspiring and kept her metalsmithing studio practice in the city. The copper and brass vessels in her Ваза series and other included works are a meditation on fluidity of memories: their ability to shift from reflection to re-invention over time. Each vessel potentially holds something within its boundaries, whether tangible or not.

Relations between the United States and China today have become more competitive and tense than they have been during the past forty years since the 1979 normalization of diplomatic relations. The deterioration of relations has not been caused by a single incident but is systemic and broad. China’s international and domestic overreaching has provoked a widespread backlash not just in the United States, but in many other advanced economies as well. Within the United States, there is talk about protecting ourselves from the perceived China threat by decoupling our intertwined economies, and Chinese and Chinese-Americans are starting to come under suspicion. How can the two countries stabilize relations and reverse this downward spiral?

Susan Shirk is the Chair of the 21st Century China Center and Research Professor at the School of Global Policy and Strategy at the University of California - San Diego. She is also director emeritus of the University of California’s Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC). Susan Shirk first visited China in 1971 and has been teaching, researching and engaging China diplomatically ever since.

The emergence of the yellow vests movement, its rapid extension, its endurance, and its popularity have been a source of surprise and confusion among politicians as well as commentators. Whereas it was initially viewed as a mere reaction to an increase in fuel tax, it soon appeared to be a broader protest against the policies led by Emmanuel Macron regarded as deepening economic inequalities. Instead of responding to the claim to more social justice, the government first expressed contempt but soon used repression, the violence of which caused hundreds of severely wounded. Characterized by a unique repertoire of action, an unusual combination of social groups and a grassroots organization without clear leaders, the mobilization challenged traditional forms of democratic representation. While it is too early to assess its long-term signification, it has however revealed the resistance of the “classes populaires” to authoritarian neoliberalism.

Didier Fassin is professor of social science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris. A physician, sociologist, and anthropologist, he has conducted research in various countries on issues related to inequality and immigration. His recent works are ethnographies of the police, the justice system and the prison institution as well as on the idea of crisis.

Anne-Claire Defossez is researcher in social sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. A sociologist, she was previously a public manager heading the administration of two large cities in the Paris region. Her current work is about women’s participation in local politics and about the crisis of democratic representation in France.

CREES Noon Lecture. "Stalin's Master Narrative": The General Secretary's Rewriting of Party History in the 1938 Short Course (December 4, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/65694 65694-16629899@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 4, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

The Short Course on the History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks) defined Stalinist ideology, both at home and throughout the communist world abroad. It was quite literally the USSR’s master narrative between 1938 and 1956—a hegemonic statement on history, politics, and Marxism-Leninism that scripted Soviet society for a generation. Long rumored to have been ghostwritten by Stalin, the Short Course has defied comprehensive critical analysis for the past 80 years, despite the opening of the Soviet archives in 1991. Here, David Brandenberger reveals for the first time the enormous role that Stalin played in the development of this all-important text. In so doing, “Stalin’s Master Narrative” characterizes the unparalleled control that the dictator wielded over the Soviet historical imagination.

David Brandenberger has written on Stalin-era propaganda, ideology and nationalism in journals like *Russian Review*, *Slavic Review*, *Kritika, Revolutionary Russia, Nationality Papers, Europe-Asia Studies, Jahrbuecher fuer Geschichte Osteuropas, Noveishaia istoriia Rossii *and *Voprosy istorii*. He has written or edited nine books including *National Bolshevism: Stalinist Mass Culture and the Formation of Modern Russian National Identity, 1931-1956* (Harvard, 2002); *Epic Revisionism: Russian History and Literature as Stalinist Propaganda,* co-edited with Kevin M. F. Platt (Wisconsin, 2006); *Propaganda State in Crisis: Soviet Ideology, Indoctrination and Terror under Stalin, 1928-1941* (Yale, 2011); and *Stalin’s Master Narrative,* co-edited with M. V. Zelenov (Yale, 2019). He is presently writing a new book on Stalin's last political purge, the 1949 Leningrad Affair, and co-editing the purge-era diary of a high-ranking member of the USSR’s Politburo.

Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.

The workshop will run from October 16 to December 18, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesdays. The time is TBD. There will be no meeting on November 27. The program cost is $275.00, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.

If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

The Business of Becoming Citizens: Chinese Immigrants, Cuisine, and Restaurants from Exclusion to Inclusion in the United States, 1870-1919 (December 5, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63436 63436-17307999@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 5, 2019 6:00pm

Today there are more Chinese restaurants in the United States than the combined total of McDonald’s, Burger King’s, Wendy’s, and KFC chains. This talk tells the history of Chinese restaurants against the backdrop of intense racial discrimination and civic exclusion. Chinese immigrants held the unfortunate distinction of being the first—and for many years only—population of voluntary migrants restricted from entering the country and denied a pathway to citizenship. Between the end of Radical Reconstruction and World War II, Chinese immigrants seized political power and shifted their economic, legal, and cultural positions through food. The talks centers on a handful of Chinese immigrants who strategically and purposefully built bridges of understanding with the wider U.S. population, and leveraged this acceptance to negotiate an immense legal apparatus. This is a story of the resilience of racialized immigrants who managed to become tastemakers, despite the weight of state-sanctioned oppression.

Refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP for food: https://forms.gle/jMh25aUFXCLbjUyc9

Heather Ruth Lee is an Assistant Professor of History at NYU Shanghai. As a scholar and educator, she wrestles with the importance of legal immigration status—the bright line separating citizens from both documented and undocumented migrants—to the history of race and ethnicity in the United States. Her first book, The Business of Becoming Citizens: Chinese Immigrants, Cuisine, and Restaurants from Exclusion to Inclusion in the United States, 1870-1943 tells the history of Chinese restaurants against the backdrop of intense racial discrimination and civic exclusion. Alongside the book, Professor Lee has been working on the “Chinese Restaurant Database Project” (www.eatingglobally.com), an original data source on historical Chinese business operations, migration strategies and demographic information. Her research has been featured in NPR’s All Things Considered, The Salt, The Atlantic, Chicago Tribune, and Gastropod, a podcast on food science and history. Professor Lee has advised and curated exhibitions at the New York Historical Society, the National Museum of American History, the Museum of Chinese in America, and elsewhere.

The World History and Literature Initiative (WHaLI) is a unique collaboration between area studies centers in the International Institute and the U-M School of Education, funded in part by Title VI grants from the U.S. Department of Education, with additional funding from the International Institute and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

About the conference:

Today we live in a world of a few hundred nation-states. “Yet,” historians Burbank and Cooper argue, “the world of nation-states we take for granted is scarcely sixty years old." People lived throughout most of human history in empires, states that never claimed to represent a single group of people or a nation. Such imperial systems were durable, ruling over vast territories for long durations of time. The Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire, for example, each lasted for almost 700 years, the Mongols and Comanche Empires for about two centuries, while some have argued the Chinese Empire endured for well over 4,000 years. All empires faced resistance and rebellion in some form and to some degree.

Imperial systems and those who have opposed, resisted, and rebelled against imperial power, politics, and culture have played a long and important role in global history. Given how important empires, decolonization, and independence movements have been, it is not surprising that we have a rich historical, literary and artistic heritage that captures the impact empires and liberation from imperial control has had on individuals, peoples, communities, and the world.

The World History and Literature Initiative’s (WHaLI) three-day conference for secondary teachers will focus on these issues using examples drawn from different historical times and areas of the world. In addition to helping teachers develop their knowledge and understanding of this Empires, imperial practices, independence movements and decolonization in world history and literature, the conference also illuminates challenges students face in learning such content and explores ways teachers might meet those challenges. WHaLI conference provides participants with relevant resources as well as lunch and refreshments. This year we will meet on December 6 (Friday), December 7 (Saturday) and December 14 (Saturday).

Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.

The workshop will run from October 16 to December 18, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Wednesdays. The time is TBD. There will be no meeting on November 27. The program cost is $275.00, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.

If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

2019 World History and Literature Initiative: Empire, Decolonization & Independence in Global History & Literature (December 14, 2019 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/64242 64242-16260524@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, December 14, 2019 8:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: International Institute

The World History and Literature Initiative (WHaLI) is a unique collaboration between area studies centers in the International Institute and the U-M School of Education, funded in part by Title VI grants from the U.S. Department of Education, with additional funding from the International Institute and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

About the conference:

Today we live in a world of a few hundred nation-states. “Yet,” historians Burbank and Cooper argue, “the world of nation-states we take for granted is scarcely sixty years old." People lived throughout most of human history in empires, states that never claimed to represent a single group of people or a nation. Such imperial systems were durable, ruling over vast territories for long durations of time. The Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire, for example, each lasted for almost 700 years, the Mongols and Comanche Empires for about two centuries, while some have argued the Chinese Empire endured for well over 4,000 years. All empires faced resistance and rebellion in some form and to some degree.

Imperial systems and those who have opposed, resisted, and rebelled against imperial power, politics, and culture have played a long and important role in global history. Given how important empires, decolonization, and independence movements have been, it is not surprising that we have a rich historical, literary and artistic heritage that captures the impact empires and liberation from imperial control has had on individuals, peoples, communities, and the world.

The World History and Literature Initiative’s (WHaLI) three-day conference for secondary teachers will focus on these issues using examples drawn from different historical times and areas of the world. In addition to helping teachers develop their knowledge and understanding of this Empires, imperial practices, independence movements and decolonization in world history and literature, the conference also illuminates challenges students face in learning such content and explores ways teachers might meet those challenges. WHaLI conference provides participants with relevant resources as well as lunch and refreshments. This year we will meet on December 6 (Friday), December 7 (Saturday) and December 14 (Saturday).
