Are you curious about entering new professional settings because you’re unsure of how you’ll be perceived? Do you wonder about having to code switch, displaying religious symbolism, or dressing in a certain way in job interviews? Is it possible to redefine ‘norms’ of professionalism?

Join us for a virtual panel with LSA alums as they explore what it means to be authentically ourselves in the workplace and what happens if we face anxiety, conflict, or pushback in these situations. You’ll learn about their experiences navigating, responding to, and problem-solving challenges like these. Alums on this panel will also share insights from past leadership roles they held at predominantly white institutions on campus and share lessons on how you can thrive and advocate for your psychological safety as it relates to your mental and emotional wellbeing.

The average American employee changes jobs 12 times, spending nearly 90,000 hours in employment across their lifespan, according to data collected in 2019. The COVID - 19 pandemic has sharply increased the number of workers changing, losing or retiring from their jobs, which creates an unprecedented opportunity for job seekers who may be considering a career change. Current students actively choosing a course of studies and contemplating post-degree careers paths, may also be reconsidering direction. Navigating change can be both exciting and challenging, and always easier with information and support.

Join CEW+ for a delicious breakfast and a lively conversation featuring a panel of remarkable women. They will share wisdom and insights from their rich career journey, including experiences in diverse fields and across career changes. In keeping with CEW+’s foundational history of honoring both personal and professional identities, the topics selected for the panel will provide an opportunity for each panelist to speak holistically about their career and life experiences.

Following the inspiring panel, there will be time to ask questions, tour CEW+, and learn how we can support you. In addition, workshop participants will be encouraged to continue the conversation about their own career trajectory. Building relationships that offer the opportunity to engage in a reciprocal process of sharing and acquiring information, and giving and receiving support is the key to building a robust network.

The 26th Annual Comparative Literature Intra-Student Faculty Forum (CLIFF) (May 20, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/94977 94977-21788177@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, May 20, 2022 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Comparative Literature

How are our affective encounters with literature, art, and media bound by time, and how are we also—in such encounters—temporally unbound? If literary texts have variously been framed as anticipating, disruptive of, conforming to, producing, inhabiting, and/or responding to axes of time (as “timely,” “untimely,” “ahead of their time,” “nostalgic,” or “avant-garde”), they have likewise been understood as objects of pure fascination, aesthetic experience, and enchantment.

Enchantment, in particular, is frequently understood as an ephemeral experience, unique to the moment of our encounter with the enchanting. We are enchanted by things for brief, passing moments; we sometimes return to a once-enchanting object only to find the glamor it once cast upon us has broken; and at other times, this rediscovery itself—re-encountering a text or encountering it in a new (translated, adapted) form—prompts our re-enchantment.

To mark its 26th anniversary, the University of Michigan Comparative Literature Intra-Student Faculty Forum (CLIFF) organizes a virtual graduate conference that critically and creatively explores the intersection of world literatures, temporalities, and enchantment. We welcomed work that investigates literary and artistic constructions of and responses to notions of temporality and enchantment from aesthetic, historical, industrial, material, technological, speculative, post/colonial, feminist, queer, religious, translational, local and/or global perspectives.
CLIFF 2022 received submissions from graduate students (U-M and beyond) and was open to academic papers from across disciplines that deal with a wide variety of languages and time periods as well as creative and experimental genres.

Michael Allan’s research focuses on debates in world literature, postcolonial studies, literary theory, as well as film and visual culture, primarily in Africa and the Middle East. In both his research and teaching, he bridges textual analysis with social theory, and draws from methods in anthropology, religion, queer theory and area studies. He is the author of In the Shadow of World Literature: Sites of Reading in Colonial Egypt (Princeton 2016, Co-Winner of the MLA Prize for a First Book) and of articles in venues such as PMLA, Modernism/Modernity, Comparative Literature Studies, Early Popular Visual Culture, The International Journal of Middle East Studies, and the Journal of Arabic Literature. He is also a guest editor of a special issue of Comparative Literature (“Reading Secularism: Religion, Literature, Aesthetics”), and with Elisabetta Benigni, an issue of Philological Encounters (“Lingua Franca: Toward a Philology of the Sea”). He is at work on a second book, Picturing the World: The Global Routes of Early Cinema, 1896-1903, which traces the transnational history of camera operators working for the Lumière Brothers film company.
