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

The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. Kaleidoscope, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists, women artists, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.

[POSTPONED] The Women's Suffrage Movement in Photographs (April 18, 2020 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73666 73666-18278625@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 18, 2020 8:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

*Update 3/12/20: This lecture has been postponed. It will be rescheduled at a later date.*

Since the nation’s founding, Americans have used images to define political power and gender roles. Popular pictures praised male political leaders, while cartoons mocked women who sought rights. In the mid-nineteenth century, women’s rights activists like Sojourner Truth and Susan B. Anthony challenged these powerful norms by distributing engraved and photographic portraits that represented women as political leaders. Over time, suffragists developed a national visual campaign to win voting rights. Their photographs captured their public protests and demonstrated their dedication to their cause for mass audiences.

Allison K. Lange, PhD is an assistant professor of history at the Wentworth Institute of Technology, published essayist and public historian. In preparation for the 2020 centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment, she is curating exhibitions at the Massachusetts Historical Society and Harvard’s Schlesinger Library. Lange’s talk is based on her forthcoming book, "Picturing Political Power: Images in the Women’s Suffrage Movement."

This lecture is a part of the Clements Library's Randolph G. Adams Lecture Series and is co-sponsored by the Michigan Photographic Historical Society.

The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. Kaleidoscope, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists, women artists, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.

In this talk Professor Iain Osgood provides a model of contemporary American trade politics. He emphasizes the political advantages of pro-trade firms relative to anti-trade firms, and also examine the role of trade skeptics in the labor movement and among progressive groups. Dr. Osgood will show how this model can help explain
trade policy developments of the past thirty years, with particular focus on the recent debates over NAFTA and trade with China.

Speaker: Dr. Iain Osgood is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan. He is currently working on projects examining special interest coalition-building around climate change; progressive opponents of trade in the United States; and identifying clusters of development strategies among countries engaging with global markets. His recent work appears in several respected political journals.

This comprehensive, bipartisan legislation is projected to reduce our carbon emissions by at least 40% in 12 years. Our meetings consist of dialing in to a national conference call (featuring different guest speakers each month), followed by local discussion of actions. Newcomers are welcome to come at 12:30 for a brief overview.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope (May 19, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 68986-17207467@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, May 19, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. Kaleidoscope, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists, women artists, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.

Long-derided in American politics, the vice-presidency comes into sharp focus every four years when presidential nominees make their selections. Who do they select, and why? Do these selections have consequences for election results? How consequential will Joe Biden's selection be in the 2020 campaign? And, ultimately, does it matter who sits in this position that John Nance Garner, FDR's first vice-president, derided as being "not worth a bucket of warm spit." (Note: he didn't actually say "spit.")

Dr. Jeff Bernstein, EMU Professor of Political Science, will try and answer these questions.

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

The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. Kaleidoscope, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists, women artists, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.

Essentially, CPRD is interested in political conflict and violence broadly conceived. This includes war, civil war, genocide, state repression/human rights violation, revolution/counter-revolution, terrorism/counter-terrorism, protest/protest policing and everyday resistance/domination. Additionally, we are also interested in peace - again broadly conceived to include peace talks/negotiation, humanitarian intervention and naming/shaming. The orientation of the group is open to geographic locale, method and theory. We thus involve individuals from world/ir, comparative, american, theory and public policy. We have had on occasion individuals join us from sociology, social work and law.

Worried about climate change? Wondering how you can make a real difference? Come to the monthly meeting of the Ann Arbor chapter of Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL). CCL is a national, grassroots organization working to enact federal legislation to put a price on CO2. It is the most focused and influential organization working on national climate policy. We are working to build support for the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (energyinnovationact.org). This comprehensive, bipartisan legislation is projected to reduce our carbon emissions by at least 40% in 12 years. Our meetings consist of dialing in to a national conference call (featuring different guest speakers each month), followed by local discussion of actions. Newcomers are welcome to come at 12:30 for a brief overview.

This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United versus the Federal Election Committee, a controversial decision that President Obama declared "reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests - including foreign corporations - to spend without limit in our elections." When he stated these words during his 2010 State of the Union Address, Justice Samuel Alito famously shook his head, mouthing “not true.”

To understand the Citizens United decision, it helps to understand the string of cases that preceded it and the underlying questions that center on the “personhood of the corporation.” Since the 1880s, courts have wrestled with questions like: Are corporations the same as “human persons”? Do they have rights, such as the right of free speech guaranteed under the first amendment to the US Constitution? Does money equal speech? Does money corrupt? Is there a “compelling state interest” in curtailing money as speech? These are all questions that the Supreme Court considered in rendering its Citizens United judgment. This session will attempt to make you more conversant in the Supreme Court’s reasoning, both in the supporting majority and the dissenting minority, and help you understand the deeper issues affecting our democratic processes.

Speaker Andrew Hoffman is the Holcim (US) Professor of Sustainable Enterprise, UM Ross School of Business and UM School for Environment and Sustainability. His research uses organizational behavior models and theories to understand the cultural and institutional aspects of environmental issues for organizations. He has published over 100 articles/book chapters, as well as 16 books, which have been translated into six languages.

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

The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. Kaleidoscope, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists, women artists, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.

White Liberalism and the Illusion of Racial Progress (June 26, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/74969 74969-19112549@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, June 26, 2020 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This event is free and available to the public. OLLI membership is not required.

How does information impact opinions and voting behavior in the case of white liberal progressives? Specifically, does exposure to racial wealth gap data lead to support by white liberals for affirmative action, reparations, and similar programs? These and related issues will be explored.

Speaker Vincent Hutchings is the Hanes Walton Jr. Collegiate Professor of Political Science at UM and a Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research. He received his PhD in 1997 from the University of California, Los Angeles. His research examines the ways in which political campaigns and the media frame information about racial issues in order to activate and make politically relevant the voters’ sympathies and/or antipathies for particular racial groups.

The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. Kaleidoscope, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists, women artists, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.

A member of the Democratic party leadership, Lewis served as Senior Chief Deputy Whip since 2003. Born the son of Alabama sharecroppers, Lewis’s childhood was filled with deeply inspirational moments, including the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the words of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. heard on radio broadcasts. As a college student, Lewis’s inspiration fueled his commitment to end legalized racial segregation; he was chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and was one of the “Big Six” leaders of groups who organized the 1963 March on Washington. His dedication to the highest ethical standards and moral principles won Lewis the admiration of his colleagues on both sides of the aisle in the United States Congress. Lewis dedicated his life to protecting human rights, securing civil liberties, and building what he called “The Beloved Community” in America. Lewis co-wrote his story with his then-Congressional Aid, later Digital Director and Policy Advisor, Andrew Aydin, in the form of the graphic novel trilogy, MARCH (2013). The collaborative work was illustrated by New York Times best-selling graphic novelist Nate Powell. In 2017, Lewis, Aydin, and Powell visited the University of Michigan campus to discuss MARCH in this special Stamps Speaker Series presentation at Hill Auditorium.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope (July 25, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 68986-17207524@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, July 25, 2020 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. Kaleidoscope, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists, women artists, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.

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.

Our meetings consist of dialing in to a national conference call (featuring different guest speakers each month), followed by local discussion of actions. Newcomers are welcome to come at 12:30 for a brief overview.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope (August 9, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 68986-17207537@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, August 9, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

The notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present, was met with increased skepticism in the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and 70s. Kaleidoscope, UMMA’s third and final edition of this exhibition series, examines the constantly changing practices of local Detroit artists, women artists, and artists of color as they actively embraced abstraction’s possibilities. Their strategies dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in a shifting American political landscape.

Support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund, and the Robert and Janet Miller Fund

Why does America vote as it does on Election Day? Since 1948, the American National Election Studies (ANES) has provided data to inform explanations of election outcomes in the United States. The ANES provides survey data from a nationally representative sample of American adults to give researchers a view of the political world through the eyes of ordinary citizens.

In this ISR Insights talk, Dr. Vincent Hutchings (Professor, Department of Political Science; Research Professor, Center for Political Studies) will discuss the history of ANES and why it remains an essential resource for the social sciences. He will talk about the study’s approach to data collection and instrumentation in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes conducting surveys through a combination of Internet, video, and telephone interviews. Dr. Hutchings will also highlight politically-relevant results from recent studies, including attitudes on the Black Lives Matter movement.

This webinar is part of a continuing series focusing on the research happening at ISR. If there is a topic you would like to see featured or have an idea for a future presentation, please email abeattie@umich.edu. This talk is being recorded and will be shared widely.
