The killing of George Floyd, in the wake of the horrific and obscene history of the killings of unarmed black people by the police, has focused attention like never before on the systemic anti-black racism of the criminal-legal system in the United States. To be sure, the massive expansion and militarization of policing and incarceration are in some ways of comparatively recent origin. Yet they also have a much deeper origin in, and are inextricably connected to, a longer history of the judicial and extra-judicial violence against black people in the continent. The racist inequities of the criminal-legal system, indeed, are not a bug, but a feature.

Our panel of experts, scholars of the United States at the University of Michigan, will help us explore, beyond the headlines, the reach of the long arm of the carceral state in society as well as the challenges and opportunities that have been thrown up by the contemporary protests against the systemic violence of the state. The stakes for understanding the working of the carceral state are documented by the Documenting Criminalization and Confinement project of the University of Michigan’s Carceral State Project. However, the momentous protests against anti-Black racism as well as the broad public support they have received both within the United States and across the world—the clamor heard round the world—have also created a novel opportunity for implementing and imagining futures beyond a blatantly rigged carceral framework.

Panelists:
• Melissa Burch, Anthropology, University of Michigan
• Matthew Countryman, Afroamerican and African History, American Culture, History, University of Michigan
• Matthew Lassiter, History, Urban and Regional Planning, University of Michigan
• William D. Lopez, Health Behavior and Health Education, University of Michigan

Moderator:
• Mrinalini Sinha, History, University of Michigan

This event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

*Note: This event is also listed in the graduate student welcome calendar. Both listings are the same event and the inclusion in the graduate student calendar was to explicitly encourage non-undergrad students to come as we will be featuring some orgs solely for grad / professional students.*

Did you know there's nearly 20 different LGBTQ+ organizations active at the University of Michigan? Now, we can't have a panel with all of them, but we can introduce you to a few of them! Join representatives from five of these orgs to talk about their purpose, vision, and goals, and also to learn about what it's like to lead as an LGBTQ+ person at this university. We'll share how to connect with all the other orgs as well, so you can easily find your people. Come meet your community with us!

There's many reasons why someone would want to be a mentor - you remember an older student or professor giving you guidance through undergrad, you've learned a lot and want to pass it on, you had a hard time and want to make sure younger students don't have to deal with what you did - but what makes a good mentor? What skills do you need, how do you make the relationship beneficial to both you and the mentee? What if you mess something up? Mentorship can be an exciting and terrifying prospect, but we're here to give you some tips.

We've brought together a panel of experienced LGBTQ+ staff and faculty who participate as mentors in our MaPPS (Mentoring and Personal/Professional Support) program to talk about what they've learned about being a good influence and building trust with a mentee. Afterwards, ask the panelists questions and consider signing up for our GPS (Guidance - Perspective - Support) program, our peer-to-peer mentorship opportunity, and start using those skills today!

This year, we'll be challenging folks to edit throughout the week, and then join us on Friday, October 8th from 2 - 3 PM for a debrief.

Wikipedia is the largest, most popular online reference work, covering all areas of history and contemporary life. However, both the topics it covers and the people who edit its articles don’t reflect the diversity of the LGBTQ community - most editors and article subjects are straight, cis, white men. Let's change that. In honor of LGBTQ History Month and National Coming Out Week, join us for LGBTQ+ Wikithon 2020! This year, we'll be challenging folks to edit throughout the week, and then join us on Friday, October 8th from 2 - 3 PM for a debrief. There will also be two hours of co-working on Monday and an hour of co-working leading up to the debrief, where you can join a call and chat with other editors!

CHM 19th Annual Horace W. Davenport Lecture in the Medical Humanities (October 21, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/78729 78729-20113300@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 21, 2020 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for the History of Medicine

The Center for the History of Medicine is pleased to announce its 19th Annual Horace W. Davenport Lecture in the Medical Humanities.

This year’s lecture will feature Dr. Powel Kazanjian, Professor and Chief of Infectious Diseases at the University of Michigan Medical School. Dr. Kazanjian is also Professor of History at the University of Michigan, where he teaches on the history of epidemics and the history of sexually transmitted diseases. He has written extensively about the history of AIDS, syphilis, commercial botulism, plague, and the development of bacteriology in America.

Dr. Kazanjian will deliver his lecture, “The Persistence of Contagious Diseases.” By the later 20th century, it had become common for public health officials and lay writers to envision a future in which epidemic diseases had been eliminated. The appearance of the new deadly disease that would eventually be known as AIDS in 1981, however, challenged their confident vision. The potent antiretroviral therapies (ART) introduced in 1996 enabled individuals receiving treatment to survive a full lifespan. By 2014, a global UNAIDS campaign sought to “end AIDS as a global health threat” by 2030” by maximizing the distribution of ART to infected people. The UNAIDS campaign is conceptually similar to earlier 20th century programs that sought to end syphilis by expanding specific therapy. The failure of these syphilis campaigns, together with the realization that today’s efforts to end AIDS is falling short of their 2020 milestones, however, raise uncertainties about whether the ongoing UNAIDs campaign will succeed. Socioeconomic and behavioral factors have hindered the biomedical campaigns to eliminate syphilis and AIDS. To be effective, scientific public health campaigns must also address how to rectify the socioeconomic conditions and human behaviors that vex elimination efforts and lead to emerging epidemics like AIDS and Covid-19. Epidemic diseases, along with efforts launched to contain them, have been and continue to be an inescapable part of our existence.

Please join us for this engaging and timely online lecture from one of the nation’s premiere infectious disease experts.

What if your sex ed class included asexuality? Most sexual education is not ace-friendly, much less ace-focused, and we're going to take a stab at fixing that! This interactive workshop will focus on defining terms like consent, desire, and arousal, communication in relationships, setting boundaries, and being proud of your identity! You will be invited to reflect on how you experience your sexuality and have the opportunity to learn from asexual and ace-spectrum experiences.

This year’s Symposium will be a virtual event that includes a series of presentations and workshops that will take place over the course of the academic year.

At the kickoff event on October 23, Dr. Martha Jones will discuss the role of Black women in the civil rights and voting rights movements and the ongoing struggle for voting rights for different populations. The kickoff will also highlight 2020 CEW+ Carol Hollenshead Inspire Award for Excellence in Promoting Equity and Social Change awardees who will present lightning talks about their work as a precursor to a full-length workshop that will happen later in the academic year as a component of the Symposium. The learning opportunities throughout the year-long Symposium will supplement Democracy and Debate Theme Semester coursework and activities.

This Symposium is free and open to all activists, advocates, and allies from all U-M campuses (students, staff, faculty) as well as the local community.

The CEW+ Advocacy Symposium is organized in partnership with IRWG and Clements Library with funding from CEW+’s Frances & Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

In this workshop, we'll be talking about things like makeup, clothes, and accessories and how those can affirm one's identity, while acknowledging the barriers that prevent some in the community from presenting their most authentic self.
If you can, wear an article of clothing, accessory, or outfit that validates your identity and get a chance to tell its story! This will be an affirming and celebratory space for however you present, no matter your identity.

This year, we are inviting Kama La Mackerel​, a multiracial trans artist based in Montreal, QB. Their work is grounded in the exploration of justice, love, healing, decoloniality and self- and collective-empowerment. Kama’s artistic practice spans across textile, visual, poetic, digital, and performative work; their work is at once narratological and theoretical, at once personal and political. They will be highlighting their most recent work, ZOM-FAM.

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

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

December Togetherness: QTBIPOC Gatherings
The Togetherness: QTBIPOC Gatherings are a collaboration between MESA and the Spectrum Center focusing on centering the experiences of Queer, Trans, Black/Indigenous/Students of Color through sharing meals, discussions, and creating connections with people in the QTBIPOC community at UM and in the surrounding areas.

This event’s host will be Trey Boyton (she/her/hers). Trey has spent her professional career working to create inclusive environments. For nearly 20 years, she worked in university settings driving equity and inclusion for students, faculty and staff at the University of Michigan. She shifted to the tech industry in 2017 when she joined Duo Security as their first head of diversity and inclusion. As the lead for overall diversity strategy, Trey envisioned a bold road ahead for Duo and implemented company-wide programs and initiatives that positively grew Duo’s magical culture and team. For Trey, inclusion work is deeply personal. She describes it as head to heart work centered on creating space so that employees and teams are valued, celebrated, and able to define their own success. In short, her ultimate goal is to reduce barriers to brilliance.

How to Go Beyond Diversity and Achieve Equity and Inclusion in Academia (February 11, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80487 80487-20728306@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 11, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

RSVP here to receive Zoom link: cew.umich.edu/events/cewinspire-workshop-how-to-go-beyond-diversity-and-achieve-equity-and-inclusion-in-academia

The main objective of this workshop is for participants (faculty, students, administration, and staff) to develop a personal connection with the plight of racial-ethnic and sexual minorities in institutions of higher education. This work is needed for the advancement of individual and institutional empathy so that we can move from tolerating to accepting to celebrating underrepresented minorities in academia. This will be achieved by encouraging workshop participants to identify instances: in their own lives in which structural prejudice and bigotry and individual-level macroaggressions hampered their career development; in which they intentionally and/or unintentionally contributed to advancing structural prejudice and bigotry and/or perpetrated individual-level macroaggressions that may have hampered the career of underrepresented faculty, students, administration, and staff; and in which they were bystanders who did not intervene to dismantle structural prejudice and bigotry and/or address individual-level macroaggressions that they witnessed.

Format: This hands-on workshop will include:
A. A short lecture whose content will include Pinto’s personal experiences and personal examples of the dynamics listed above. This will be reinforced with statistics (e.g., disparities in tenure and promotion), and anecdotes from other minority individuals.

B. Following the lecture, Pinto, in collaboration with other actors, will use Theater of the Oppressed (Port: Teatro dos Oprimidos) techniques to model skits reflecting each of the instances listed above. Skits will be scripted such that the ending of each story will be decided by participants in small groups with an eye toward actions they can take to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in the academic space. (Boal A. (1979). Theatre of the Oppressed. New York, NY: Theater Communications Group).

C. Following small group discussions, all participants will reconvene to discuss strategies for welcoming underrepresented minorities into their social networks. This portion of the workshop will help participants to understand how they can help underrepresented minorities develop social capital by lending their social support: emotional, concrete, and informational.

Rogério Pinto accepting on behalf of the Faculty Allies for Diversity Committee: Born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Rogério M. Pinto is a professor and associate dean for research at the University of Michigan School of Social Work. He is the co-chair of the Faculty Allies for Diversity Committee. In his work, Pinto focuses on finding academic, sociopolitical, and cultural venues for broadcasting voices of oppressed individuals and groups. Funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, his community-engaged research focuses on the impact of interprofessional collaboration on the delivery of evidence-based services to marginalized racial/ethnic and sexual minority individuals. Funded by the University of Michigan Office of Research, as a new scholarly pursuit, he is building an art installation, The Realm of the Dead, to investigate his own personal marginalization as a gender non-confirming, mixed-race, and Latinx immigrant. This installation will serve as the stage set for Pinto’s award-winning theatrical performance, Marília, a one-person play, in which Pinto further explores the tragic death of his 3-year old sister, Marília, and how such loss haunts and inspires the lives of the family members she left behind. Marília won the 2015 United Solo Festival Best Documentary Script and it will be performed again at the University of Michigan as part of the centennial celebration of the School of Social Work.

Centering the needs of QTBIPOC therapy-seekers, this workshop aims to help you to learn more about accessing and navigating therapy, the green and red flags of a therapist, and how to ask the right questions to find the right fit for you.

Our workshop presenter will be Kulky Nakai Psy.D. LP (they/them/theirs), a therapist practicing with Integrative Empowerment Group PLLC. In their work, they bring a creative, synergistic, and vibrant energy to the therapy room. They earned their doctorate in clinical psychology at Adler University in Chicago, IL and their masters in counseling psychology at Argosy University in San Diego, CA. Identifying as a fat and tattooed queer femme of color, Kulky has also experienced marginalization, discrimination, and oppression for these intersecting identities throughout their life. They understand the deep impact that prejudice and stigma has on one’s mental health and wellbeing, and they are committed to socio-political and cultural change in efforts towards social justice and equality. After years of professional training and personal exploration, they are not only fulfilling their calling but are also building their legacy. Accordingly, Kulky is intentional about helping to cultivate meaningful, healing, and transformative therapeutic relationships so that their clients may become their own compassionate caregiver and agent of change to live an authentic, value-guided, and worthwhile life.

Black History Month's Closing Speaker - JANAYA KHAN (March 1, 2021 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82365 82365-21070618@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 1, 2021 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Multi Ethnic Student Affairs - MESA

MESA is proud to present Black History Month's Closing Speaker - JANAYA KHAN. Join us for a thrilling event where Janaya Khan will discuss “The Future within the Black Lives Matter Movement and The Intersections of being a Black, Queer, and Gender-Nonconforming Activist" This event is sponsored by The Spectrum Center and Central Student Government, and will be co-moderated by students Adrian King (they/them), PhD candidate in American Culture, and Jolyna Chiangong, who will be joined by Vice President Of Student Life Dr. Martino Harmon.

With a timely message about the transformational power of protest, Janaya Khan is a leading activist who engages their community in a profound discussion about social justice and equality. Known as ‘Future’ within the Black Lives Matter movement, Janaya is a black, queer, gender-nonconforming activist (pronouns: they, them, theirs), staunch Afrofuturist and social-justice educator who presents an enlightening point of view on police brutality and systemic racism.

“Throughout the political tumult of 2020, one of the most prominent voices to become a source of healing and hope was Janaya Future Khan, whose rapidly-growing audience across social media now numbers in the hundreds of thousands. But while the activist’s weekly Sunday Sermons on Instagram provided a necessary forum for those looking to reflect and regroup during the pandemic and the instances of police brutality that sparked a renewal of energy behind the Black Lives Matter movement, Khan’s activism extends much further back—all the way to their childhood, spent between Toronto and Florida, and their subsequent years as a competitive boxer.

Galvanized by the 2014 killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Jermaine Carby in Toronto at the hands of police officers, Khan has had a longstanding involvement in Black Lives Matter—even launching its first international chapter in Canada—and became a necessary and informed voice for those seeking direction last summer. And like many around the world, Khan found themselves dismayed and angered by the scenes that unfolded on Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol building, where riots led by Trump supporters sieged the building to disrupt the final counting of the Electoral College ballots in favor of Joe Biden’s Presidential win, resulting in five deaths.” BY LIAM HESS January 10, 2021

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Spectrum Center

Register: https://bit.ly/LGBTQ-UM-Events

All trans people are beautiful, and that sentiment is not always expressed. In times of isolation and disconnect from community, transgender and nonbinary individuals can lose sight of self-love and body positivity.

In Part 1, we will explore the topic of body positivity through the lens of the wellbeing model. The workshop will focus on collectively building a more trans-inclusive idea of body positivity based on our experiences and identities. By incorporating other transgender and non-binary voices in the workshop, the space will also explore what self-love looks like and how you can build a body-positive self-image.

In Part 2, we will continue diving into how to cultivate a body-positive self-image. Through personal reflection and group conversations, we will explore our own body origin stories and how body policing manifests within transgender and non-binary communities. With a focus on narratives and experiences, the workshop will provide participants with strategies to reframe and cultivate body positivity for ourselves, our relationships and our communities.

Attendance for Part 1 isn't required for Part 2, nor is it a commitment to attend Part 2. For both workshops, participants are encouraged to wear an article of clothing, accessory, or outfit that validates your identity and expression.

Spectrum Center is proud to present Faith & Coming out: a student & parent panel on family, community, and loving yourself. Many individuals in the LGBTQ+ community have questions, fears, and hopes about how their queerness interacts with their faith, but it's not a subject often talked about. In an effort to help our students understand themselves better, we have brought together five people to share their stories about coming out or being come out to. There isn't one method to create a perfect harmony between an individual's religion and LGBTQ+ identity, but highlighting more narratives can help reflect the many possible paths and make the journey just a little less uncertain.

This event's panelists come from the following religions: Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Catholicism.

The Togetherness: QTBIPOC Gatherings are a collaboration between MESA and the Spectrum Center focusing on centering the experiences of Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, Students of Color through sharing meals, discussions, and creating connections with people in the QTBIPOC community at UM and in the surrounding areas.

This event’s host will be Askari Rushing (he/him/his). Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Askari graduated from Auburn University in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and Accountancy. Upon graduating, he taught K-8 Spanish in the DC Public School System for one year. After realizing that teaching was not his passion, he attended Middlebury College and received his Master of Arts in Spanish in 2017. Directly following this, he returned to his alma mater and received his Master of Accountancy in 2018. While studying for his MAcc, he realized that he had a passion for academic advising and decided to pursue a Master of Arts in Higher Education at the University of Michigan. He graduated in 2020 and accepted a job with Mississippi State University working in their Athletic Academics department as a Tutor Coordinator. After 6 months, he returned to the University of Michigan where he currently works as an Academic Program Specialist on the Rackham Professional Development DEI Certificate Program.

All trans people are beautiful, and that sentiment is not always expressed. In times of isolation and disconnect from community, transgender and nonbinary individuals can lose sight of self-love and body positivity.

In Part 1, we will explore the topic of body positivity through the lens of the wellbeing model. The workshop will focus on collectively building a more trans-inclusive idea of body positivity based on our experiences and identities. By incorporating other transgender and non-binary voices in the workshop, the space will also explore what self-love looks like and how you can build a body-positive self-image.

In Part 2, we will continue diving into how to cultivate a body-positive self-image. Through personal reflection and group conversations, we will explore our own body origin stories and how body policing manifests within transgender and non-binary communities. With a focus on narratives and experiences, the workshop will provide participants with strategies to reframe and cultivate body positivity for ourselves, our relationships and our communities.

Attendance for Part 1 isn't required for Part 2, nor is it a commitment to attend Part 2. For both workshops, participants are encouraged to wear an article of clothing, accessory, or outfit that validates your identity and expression.

We're so excited for this year's Name Change Clinic, brought to you in partnership with the OUTreach program at the Jim Toy Community Center and OutLaws student group. This workshop will cover the basics of legal name changes, gender marker corrections, and current legal issues regarding transgender rights.

PLEASE NOTE:
This workshop will center on the process in Michigan. Every state's process to change your name and legal gender marker is different, and can vary within a state by county. Our presenters will be doing their best to answer any questions regarding the process broadly, but please keep this in mind as you attend.
