Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/list/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. Collection Ensemble (December 6, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 68063-16988439@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 6, 2019 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

She is a member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists since its founding in 1996. Albats taught at Yale in 2003-2004, and she was a full-time professor at Moscow’s Higher School of Economics, where she taught institutional theory of the state and bureaucracy until 2011 when her courses were cancelled at the request of top Kremlin officials. In 2017, she was chosen as inaugural fellow at Kelly’s Writers House and Perry House at the University of Pennsylvania. Albats is the author of the four independently researched books, including one on the history of the Russian political police, the KGB, whose graduates are running the country today.

Artist Talk with Cullen Washington, Jr.: Abstract Meditations on the Grid and Humanity presented by the Penny Stamps Speaker Series (January 23, 2020 5:10pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68749 68749-17147137@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 23, 2020 5:10pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Cullen Washington, Jr.’s work offers meditations on human interconnectivity and “the universal framework that undergirds all things.” Fusing together seemingly disparate concepts via the connective tissues of mixed media, Washington uses non-representational abstraction to understand order, chaos, social relationships, and other natural phenomena. The work takes audiences on a vibrant journey through and with materiality – a concerted and haptic interplay between gestures of painting and drawing and the modes of reproduction.

In the exhibition Cullen Washington, Jr.: The Public Square, his most recent series, Agoras, explores the “agora”— the ancient Greek public space — as a "gathering place" for activated assembly that functions as the heart of the commercial, spiritual, and political life in the city. Washington describes the contemporary agora as an “area of convergence, where the displaced can find a place.”

Washington’s work is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum and has been exhibited at the Queens Museum, Saatchi Gallery London, and the Studio Museum in Harlem. He has been an artist in residence at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, The Studio Museum in Harlem, Yaddo, and The Joan Mitchell Foundation. He is also a recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation Award.

Co-presented by the Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series and UMMA as part of the 2020 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium.

Cullen Washington, Jr.: The Public Square will be on view at UMMA January 25 - May 17, 2020.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick, Candy and Michael Barasch, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, and the Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Department of History of Art, School of Education, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, School of Social Work, and Gerald R.

The Interdisciplinary Workshop on American Politics (IWAP) is a forum for the presentation of ongoing interdisciplinary research in American politics. Most of our presentations are given by graduate students. Each graduate student presenter is assigned a faculty and student discussant. IWAP circulates the work beforehand and the student presents it briefly at the start of the meeting. After discussant feedback, the bulk of the time is reserved for group discussion among all workshop participants. This format leads to informal yet highly interactive and productive conversations.

LACS Event. Archaeological Fieldwork in Mexico and Peru, 1961-2003: A Conversation with Jeffrey Parsons (January 24, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70963 70963-17760237@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 24, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

Half a century ago, when archaeologist Jeffrey R. Parsons began fieldwork in Mexico and Peru, he could not know that many of the sites he studied were on the brink of destruction. The rural landscapes through which he traveled were, in many cases, destined to be plowed under and paved over. In his new book *Remembering Archaeological Fieldwork in Mexico and Peru, 1961–2003*, hundreds of photographs taken by Parsons give readers a chance to see archaeological sites that were hundreds or thousands of years old and have since vanished or been irrevocably altered. In this public interview, Howard Tsai will speak to Dr. Parsons about the sites, the people, and the landscapes he had encountered during four decades of research in Latin America.

Jeffrey Parsons served as the University of Michigan’s Curator of Latin American Archaeology in the Museum of Anthropology and a Professor in the Department of Anthropology from 1966 until his retirement from the University in 2006. Parsons served as Director of the Museum of Anthropology from 1983 to 1986. Jeff Parsons has been a fundamental innovator in regional studies of the early New World civilizations. He began his research career in the Valley of Mexico in 1963, perfecting the technique of archaeological surface survey now used in many areas of the world. Working closely with Mexican colleagues, his teams walked over almost every square kilometer of the Valley of Mexico that was not sealed by asphalt and concrete. The results were detailed reports on the settlement sites of every period from 1200 BC to AD 1520—more than 2500 hamlet, village and town sites. These published data allowed archaeologists to address broader theoretical issues such as the roles of population growth, irrigation, and conflict. In 1975 Parsons introduced the regional archaeological approach to Peru, undertaking a major survey in the Junin area of the central Andes, which has recently been published as a major monograph. In 1998 he received the highest honor given New World archaeologists, The Alfred V. Kidder Award from the American Anthropological Association.

Howard Tsai is lecturer in the Program in International and Comparative Studies and the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies at the University of Michigan. Dr. Tsai received his Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Michigan, specializing in Peruvian archaeology. He has directed a team of archaeologists in excavating the 1000-year-old village of Las Varas in northern Peru. His works on labor organization, pottery style, and ethnic interaction have been published in academic journals and edited volumes. His upcoming book *Las Varas: Ritual and Ethnicity in the Ancient Andes *will be published by the University of Alabama Press.

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

Dr. Yevgenia M. Albats, Editor-in-Chief and CEO of the Moscow-based “New Times” and a radio host with more than 40 years experience with Soviet, Russian and international media, will give a lecture on the rise and fall of the Russian free press over the last 30 years. Despite perestroika and the collapse of the Berlin Wall, censorship has since returned and the once-famous Russian TV networks have turned back into Soviet-style propaganda machines. The few independent media outlets that remain are struggling to survive in the absence of advertising and financial support, while under pressure from the omnipotent state.

Dr. Yevgenia M. Albats is a Russian investigative journalist, political scientist, author and radio host. Since 2007, she has served as Political Editor and is now Editor-in-Chief and CEO of “The New Times,” a Moscow-based, Russian language independent political weekly. The New Times is digital-only as of June of 2017, when Russian authorities severed its distribution and sales.
Since 2004, Dr. Albats has hosted “Absolute Albats,” a talk show on “Echo Moskvy,” the only remaining liberal radio station in Russia. Albats was an Alfred Friendly Press Fellow assigned to the “Chicago Tribune” in 1990, and a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University in 1993. She graduated from Moscow State University in 1980, and received her Ph.D. in Political Science from Harvard University in 2004. She has been a member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) since its founding in 1996.
Albats taught at Yale from 2003 to 2004 and was a full-time professor at the Moscow-based university The Higher School of Economics, where she taught institutional theory of the state and bureaucracy until her courses were canceled at the request of top Kremlin officials in 2011. In 2017 Albats was chosen as an inaugural fellow at Kelly’s Writers House and Perry House at the University of Pennsylvania. Albats is the author of four books, including one on the history of the Russian political police, the KGB, whose graduates are running the country today. Yevgenia Albats is the inaugural International Institute Distinguished Faculty Fellow for 2019-2020 in partnership with the Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies (CREES) at the University of Michigan.

Wallace House Presents “The 1619 Project: Examining the Legacy of Slavery and the Building of a Nation” (January 28, 2020 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70101 70101-17530518@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 28, 2020 6:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Wallace House Center for Journalists

Journalism is often called the first draft of history. But journalism can also be used as a powerful tool for examining history.

Four hundred years ago, in August 1619, a ship carrying enslaved Africans arrived in the English colony of Virginia, establishing the system of slavery on which the United States was built.

With The 1619 Project, The New York Times is prompting conversation and debate about the legacy of slavery and its influence over American society and culture. From mass incarceration to traffic jams, the project seeks to reframe our understanding of American history and the fight to live up to our nation’s central promise.

Wallace House Presents the project’s creator, New York Times Magazine reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones, in conversation with Rochelle Riley, longtime journalist and columnist.

About the Speaker:
Nikole Hannah-Jones is a domestic correspondent for The New York Times Magazine focusing on racial injustice. She has written on federal failures to enforce the Fair Housing Act, the resegregation of American schools and policing in America. Her extensive reporting in both print and radio on the ways segregation in housing and schools is maintained through official action and policy has earned the National Magazine Award, a Peabody and a Polk Award. Her work designing “The 1619 Project” has been met with universal acclaim. The project was released in August 2019 to mark the 400th anniversary of American slavery and re-examines the role it plays in the history of the United States.

Hannah-Jones earned her bachelor’s in history and African-American studies from the University of Notre Dame and her master’s in journalism and mass communication from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

About the Moderator:
Rochelle Riley was a 2007-2008 Knight-Wallace Fellow and is the Director of Arts and Culture for the City of Detroit. For nineteen years she was a columnist at the Detroit Free Press. Riley is author of “The Burden: African Americans and the Enduring Impact of Slavery” and the upcoming “That They Lived: Twenty African Americans Who Changed The World.” She has won numerous national, state and local honors, including the 2017 Ida B. Wells Award from the National Association of Black Journalists for her outstanding efforts to make newsrooms and news coverage more accurately reflect the diversity of the communities they serve and the 2018 Detroit SPJ Lifetime Achievement Award alongside her longtime friend, Walter Middlebrook. She was a 2016 inductee into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame.

This is a 2020 Annual U-M Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium event.

Wallace House Presents Davey Alba of The New York Times with Ceren Burdak of the School of Information and College of Engineering (January 29, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70103 70103-17530519@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 29, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Wallace House Center for Journalists

In 2018, journalist Davey Alba traveled to the Philippines to investigate Facebook’s breakneck proliferation in that country and President Rodrigo Duterte’s rise to power. She revealed how the politician’s incendiary style aligned perfectly with the tech company’s algorithms that reward entertaining, inflammatory content. From maligning opponents to espousing hardline policies to combat the drug trade, Duterte’s operatives created memes, propaganda and egregious libel that flourished on Facebook. Join Alba and Ceren Budak, associate professor, University of Michigan, for an examination of how demagogic political campaigns worldwide have weaponized the social media platform.

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

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

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

Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Bridget McCormack, legal scholar and practitioner Leonard M. Niehoff, and acclaimed actor John de Lancie explore the work of the courts and the law; how the human impulse for narrative performance and drama informs the inner workings of the courtroom; and how the courtroom is represented on stage and screen. This program will kick off the 2019-2020 Roman J. Witt artist residency project, Witness Lab, a courtroom installation and performance project opening at UMMA on February 15, 2020.  

Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack joined the Michigan Supreme Court in January 2013, and became Chief Justice in January 2019. As the Chief Justice, McCormack has promoted statewide initiatives devoted to improving the courts service to the public, and in particular delivering on a promise that courts are independent, accessible, engaged with their communities and efficient. 

Leonard M. Niehoff is a nationally prominent law practitioner, professor, and scholar in three fields: media law and the First Amendment; higher education law; and trial and appellate litigation. Niehoff is at work on a forthcoming book about the Salem witch trials. 

Best known for his role as “Q” on Star Trek: The Next Generation, John de Lancie’s film and television credits are numerous and include The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, The Fisher King, Breaking Bad, and West Wing. He recently returned from a national tour of the “Scopes Monkey Trial” with Ed Asner where he played Clarence Darrow, and is the first recipient of the Clarence Darrow Award. De Lancie is currently at work on a play about the 2005 Kitzmiller vs. Dover School District trial.

Presented in partnership with the Penny Stamps School of Art & Design in connection with Witness Lab, a project by Roman Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan. This courtroom installation is activated from February 15-May 17, 2020 in UMMA's Stenn Gallery.

Sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019《2019年逃犯及刑事事宜相互法律協助法例(修訂)條例草案》, also known as the Extradition Bill, a wave of ongoing protests have begun in Hong Kong since June 2019. The Extradition Bill incident led to a wide-reaching social movement. It is important to note, however, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only ways through which Hong Kong people expressed their opinions. Promotional art pieces, music, videos, and memes also played significant roles in the movement. In this exhibition, we will present these incredible art pieces, exploring their aesthetics and functions.

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer.

The Role of Creative Media in Hong Kong Protests (February 18, 2020 7:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/72963 72963-18107870@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 18, 2020 7:00am
Location: Pierpont Commons
Organized By: Hong Kong Human Rights Concern Group

Creative media became a form of passive protest and connected people who shared the same emotions during social unrest in Hong Kong. In this exhibition, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement.

Since June, protests have been ongoing in Hong King, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations, over two million Hongkongers, which is more than a quarter of the population, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note, however, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces, music, videos, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement.

After 2/12, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

“Downstream from Here” by Charles Eisendrath (February 21, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70597 70597-17609141@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 21, 2020 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Tom Brokaw calls Eisendrath “a reporter’s reporter” and the book, “lyrical.” Jeff Daniels adds “prepare to be inspired.” Ellen Goodman says, “Too often we are told we have to choose between living wide or living deep, between traveling across the surface of the earth, or coming to truly know and love one place. But Charles Eisendrath has done both in his rich life. This is the memoir of a foreign correspondent and journalism mentor and yet a man who is spiritually rooted at his beloved Overlook Farm. The essays he has written about this life are a joy!”

Charles R. Eisendrath grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, in a family that had vacationed in Charlevoix County since the 1890’s. One of the loves of his life is Overlook Farm near East Jordan, Michigan, which produces timber, maple syrup, and tart cherries. He is a passionate sportsman and canoeist. Many of those subjects are the focus of “Downstream from Here: A Big Life in a Small Place”. It is a collection of essays originally intended as a personal history to be shared with friends and family. It is a meditation on a life well lived, a deep love of family, and the love of a very specific place in the world.

Eisendrath was the first Director of the Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellowships at the University of Michigan. He is a Yale graduate, a former Time magazine correspondent, and founder of the Livingston Awards, known as the Pulitzer Prize for journalists under 35 and known for providing early recognition for major talents.

The Role of Creative Media in Hong Kong Protests (February 22, 2020 7:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/72963 72963-18107874@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 22, 2020 7:00am
Location: Pierpont Commons
Organized By: Hong Kong Human Rights Concern Group

Creative media became a form of passive protest and connected people who shared the same emotions during social unrest in Hong Kong. In this exhibition, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement.

Since June, protests have been ongoing in Hong King, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations, over two million Hongkongers, which is more than a quarter of the population, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note, however, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces, music, videos, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement.

After 2/12, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

Collection Ensemble (February 22, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 68063-16988503@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 22, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

CANCELED: CLIFF 2020: (Counter)Narratives of Migration (March 13, 2020 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/72845 72845-18261079@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 13, 2020 9:00am
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Comparative Literature

This event has been canceled. Plans to postpone are TBD.


CLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization, visibility, and media surrounding the movement of bodies, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms, through its various manifestations in the arts, critical theory, and new media.

We are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence, imperialism and body politics.

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Organized By: Comparative Literature

This event has been canceled. Plans to postpone are TBD.


CLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization, visibility, and media surrounding the movement of bodies, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms, through its various manifestations in the arts, critical theory, and new media.

We are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence, imperialism and body politics. Her films, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence, the Israel-Palestine conflict, civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film "Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer, Great Lakes South.

The symposium will feature keynote speaker Cindy Shank, a previously incarcerated activist and advocate for abolishing mandatory minimum sentences. There will be several breakout workshop options relating to birth in prison, criminal justice advocacy, and diversion programs.

Organized By: Wallace House Center for Journalists

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED.

Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple. A handful of tech companies have changed the way we live and built unprecedented industrial bases in the process. Their reach extends far beyond our pocketbooks into privacy, individual liberties, and the fabric of our democracy.

In August 2018, Facebook’s chief security officer Alex Stamos announced he would leave the company following reports of disagreements with other executives over how to address the Russian government’s use of Facebook to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Since his departure he’s advocated for the breakup of the tech giant and co-authored the white paper “Securing American Elections: Prescriptions for Enhancing the Integrity and Independence of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Elections and Beyond.”

Do we really understand what we are giving away in exchange for speed and convenience? Do the tech giants understand, or care about, their responsibility in this digital age that they created?

Alex Stamos is the former chief security officer at Facebook and is now director of the Stanford Cyber Policy Center’s Internet Observatory at Stanford University.

Kara Swisher is the co-founder and executive editor of Recode and host of the weekly interview podcast “Recode Decode.” She is also the co-executive editor of Code Conferences, which feature prominent speakers from the digital industry. She is a regular contributor to The New York Times opinion pages and a Livingston Awards national judge.

This event is co-sponsored by Computer Science and Engineering, the College of Engineering, the Center for Social Media Responsibility, ITS and Dissonance at the University of Michigan and Duo Security.

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

CANCELED “Online Harassment and the Threat to Democracy” (March 24, 2020 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70106 70106-17532705@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 24, 2020 4:30pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Wallace House Center for Journalists

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED.

Online trolls are targeting journalists with such frequency and intensity that 90 percent of reporters say online harassment has become their biggest safety concern, according to a study by the Committee to Protect Journalists. The perpetrators range from lone-wolf digital stalkers to synchronized armies of online mercenaries set in motion by political actors. They have turned social media platforms into battlefields filled with verbal weaponry meant to intimidate and silence journalists. The threats toward female journalists are particularly vicious and dangerous. A recent study by the International Women Media Foundation found that online harassment has prompted many women journalists to consider leaving the profession.

What can be done to track and counter the hate?

Wallace House Presents a conversation with Rana Ayyub, award-winning investigative journalist based in Mumbai, Elodie Vialle, a Knight-Wallace Fellow and authority on internet harassment and attacks against female journalists and Jason Reich, Vice President of Corporate Security for The New York Times Company. Roya Ensafi, founder of Censored Planet and assistant professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, will serve as moderator.

About the Speakers

Her work has appeared in the The New York Times, Guardian and Foreign Policy among other publications. She has reported on religious violence, insurgency and extrajudicial killings by the state. She is author of the “Gujarat Files: Anatomy of a Cover-Up,” an undercover investigation which exposes the complicity of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in state-sponsored killings. Time magazine this year listed her among ten global journalists facing the most urgent threats to their work, freedom and safety.

Elodie Vialle is a Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan, where she is studying methods and best practices for countering online attacks of female journalists. She was previously the Head of the Technology desk at Reporters without Borders. Her work focused on topics such as online censorship, surveillance, disinformation and the impact of artificial intelligence on freedom of information and internet governance. She has worked as an advisor for media outlets around the world, helping them to improve news coverage through the use of new technologies.

Jason Reich is Vice President of Corporate Security for The New York Times Company. He is responsible for the development and enforcement of all safety and security plans for employees and facilities while serving as the company’s internal expert on all security matters. He joined The Times from BuzzFeed, Inc. where he served as Director of Global Security since 2015. Prior to BuzzFeed, Jason was the founder and managing director of Collective Security Project, a team of crisis response experts, based in the United Kingdom, Turkey and the U.S., who were contracted to protect journalists, aid workers and N.G.O’s in challenging environments. Jason is a founding board member at the ACOS Alliance, and is a passionate advocate for freelance journalist safety worldwide.

Moderator: Roya Ensafi is an assistant professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan.

Collection Ensemble (March 27, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68063 68063-16988532@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 27, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

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

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.
