About the movie:
On June 15, 2020, journalist Maria Ressa was found guilty of cyber libel, setting a ticking clock on the limited time she has to get her story out to the world and keep the fight for democracy alive in this all too familiar tale of an autocratic leader drowning out “fake news.” Nowhere is the worldwide erosion of democracy, fueled by social media disinformation campaigns, more starkly evident than in the authoritarian regime of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Ressa places the tools of the free press—and her freedom—on the line in defense of truth and democracy. Ramona S. Diaz’s thrilling film follows key players from two sides of an increasingly dangerous war between press and government. As each side digs in, we become witness to an epic and ongoing fight for the integrity of human life and truth itself—a conflict that extends beyond the Philippines into our own divisive backyard. A Film by Ramona S. Diaz (IMELDA, MOTHERLAND).

Cosponsored by the Michigan Theater.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope (September 9, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 68986-17207563@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 9, 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.

Larry Hogan is the 62nd governor of Maryland and chairman of the National Governors Association. Recently reelected in a landslide, he is only the second Republican governor in Maryland history to win a second term. Known for his practical solutions, his stark transparency and his ability to work across party lines, he is also a proud survivor of late-stage non-Hodgins lymphoma. His wife, Yumi Hogan, is the first Korean-American first lady in America. The Hogans live in the historic state capital of Annapolis.

On June 15, 2020, journalist Maria Ressa was found guilty of cyber libel, setting a ticking clock on the limited time she has to get her story out to the world and keep the fight for democracy alive in this all too familiar tale of an autocratic leader drowning out “fake news.” Nowhere is the worldwide erosion of democracy, fueled by social media disinformation campaigns, more starkly evident than in the authoritarian regime of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Ressa places the tools of the free press—and her freedom—on the line in defense of truth and democracy. Ramona S. Diaz’s thrilling film follows key players from two sides of an increasingly dangerous war between press and government. As each side digs in, we become witness to an epic and ongoing fight for the integrity of human life and truth itself—a conflict that extends beyond the Philippines into our own divisive backyard. A Film by Ramona S. Diaz (IMELDA, MOTHERLAND).

Cosponsored by the Michigan Theater.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope (September 16, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 68986-17207569@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 16, 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.

Citizen Activism: Driver of A Healthy Democracy (September 21, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/75630 75630-19552841@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 21, 2020 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Citizen participation is the crucial process through which private individuals and groups work to influence public decisions as part of the democratic process. Organizations ranging from national issue-oriented groups to local broad- based grass roots groups work to enhance citizen participation.

This “bottom up” activity may include advocacy, lobbying, protests, strikes, petition drives, ballot proposals, lawsuits and political campaigning. Citizen activism driven by real community needs and desires can be a powerful transformative force.

Our panelists, Roddy Wares, Lisa Wozniak, Branden Snyder and moderator Karen Bantel will help us understand how the organizations that they represent aid individuals in understanding ideas about citizenship, politics, government and the issues important to their communities and specific organizations.

Roddy Wares has been an active member of the League of Women Voters in the Ann Arbor area since 2016. She leads the committee that registered students in almost all of the Washtenaw County high schools as well as WCC for the past three years and also leads the LWVAAA effort to register seniors. Currently she is working with Voting Access for All Coalition. She has been registering voters in Washtenaw County for at least 30 years!

Lisa Wozniak’s career spans over two decades of environmental and conservation advocacy in the political arena. She is a nationally recognized expert in non-profit growth and management and a leader in Great Lakes protections. Lisa is a three-time graduate from the University of Michigan, with a Bachelor’s Degree and two ensuing Masters Degrees in Social Work and Education.

Before becoming Executive Director in 2006, Wozniak was a member of the Michigan LCV Board and today serves on the boards of the Friends of Rutherford Pool, the Huron River Watershed Council, and the National League of Conservation Voters Education Fund.

Born and raised on Detroit’s East Side, Branden Snyder, executive director of Detroit Action, has been involved in electoral and community organizing projects throughout the U.S. for 10 years. Previously, he was the Deputy Organizing Director in charge of Youth Voting for the Hillary for Michigan 2016 presidential campaign and Director of Organizing for Michigan United, a coalition of faith, labor & civic organizations in Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo. He is a graduate of UM – Ann Arbor with a Master’s Degree in Public Policy from the UM Ford School of Public Policy and a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and Afro-American studies with a minor in Urban Community Studies.

Karen Bantel, Ph.D., was formerly a professor of business strategy and entrepreneurship at the University of Michigan and Wayne State University, and consulted in those areas for many years.

She has facilitated and moderated a number of OLLI offerings, including: Russia, The Retreat of Western Liberalism, A World in Disarray, Can Democracy Survive?, Vaccines Explained, and TED talks.

Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the event.

We will read and discuss the title book by Jon Meacham. He describes how our country overcame partisan fury and fear in the past, and he provides perspective on how the current critical moment in politics and life may be overcome by leadership and the will of the people.
The book details the actions taken by notable presidents to fight danger and dissension. We will also read how citizen-led movements such the suffragettes, civil rights and others initiated progress towards greater democracy, even when those in power could not or would not.
Gerry Lapidus has conducted OLLI book discussion classes since 2005. The classes are informal and conversational. Please read Introduction and Chapter One for the first session. The Study Group meets on Mondays Sep. 21 to Nov. 2 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. (No class on Sep. 28.) Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone.

About the movie:
On June 15, 2020, journalist Maria Ressa was found guilty of cyber libel, setting a ticking clock on the limited time she has to get her story out to the world and keep the fight for democracy alive in this all too familiar tale of an autocratic leader drowning out “fake news.” Nowhere is the worldwide erosion of democracy, fueled by social media disinformation campaigns, more starkly evident than in the authoritarian regime of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Ressa places the tools of the free press—and her freedom—on the line in defense of truth and democracy. Ramona S. Diaz’s thrilling film follows key players from two sides of an increasingly dangerous war between press and government. As each side digs in, we become witness to an epic and ongoing fight for the integrity of human life and truth itself—a conflict that extends beyond the Philippines into our own divisive backyard. A Film by Ramona S. Diaz (IMELDA, MOTHERLAND).

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope (September 22, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 68986-17207574@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 22, 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.

American Democracy After the Pandemic (September 23, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75804 75804-19608019@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 23, 2020 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

The future of American democracy will be profoundly reshaped by the experiences of a national crisis for which no state or federal authority was prepared. The group will examine the dynamics of relations between states and the federal government; the issues of states' rights versus federal responsibilities; constitutional reforms versus political reforms; localism versus centralization; and the new utopia versus the old order.
Instructors John Rowntree and Larry Berlin will guide the discussions.
For the first session read numbers 14-17 of the Federalist Papers and the Constitution of the United States and the Amendments, all available online. Other course materials will be on-line or distributed in advance of classes.
The Study Group meets on Wednesdays Sept. 23 to Oct. 28 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access this Study Group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

3. What national policies should be given the highest priority by the next president?
4. How should voters best choose who to support for president?
Instructor Thomas Murray will serve as a neutral moderator for the group discussions.

Princess Williams will present her job talk: "The Politics of Place: How Southern Identity Shapes Americans' Racial Attitudes and Policy Preferences."

ABSTRACT: This project investigates the role of place-based identification in influencing Americans’ racial attitudes and policy preferences. Specifically, I argue that Southern identity (i.e., identification with the American South) is an influential but omitted factor in the study of political behavior across racial groups. In this project, I create a novel measurement of Southern identity and assess its impact on public opinion. Contrary to the extant literature, this work argues that Southern identity has political consequences for the opinion formation of Black Americans as well as for White Americans. I expect that Southern identity will be associated with group-centric racial beliefs reflecting the perceived communalistic nature of Southern culture. Analyses from three original surveys suggest that Southern identity influences both Black and Whites to adopt distinct racial beliefs different from their non- southern racial group members. These results hint at a challenge to the claim that Southern identity among Black Americans is not as politically relevant as it is for White Americans. This work also speaks to the need for more nuanced approaches to understanding American’s racial beliefs across race and place.

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.

About the movie:
On June 15, 2020, journalist Maria Ressa was found guilty of cyber libel, setting a ticking clock on the limited time she has to get her story out to the world and keep the fight for democracy alive in this all too familiar tale of an autocratic leader drowning out “fake news.” Nowhere is the worldwide erosion of democracy, fueled by social media disinformation campaigns, more starkly evident than in the authoritarian regime of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Ressa places the tools of the free press—and her freedom—on the line in defense of truth and democracy. Ramona S. Diaz’s thrilling film follows key players from two sides of an increasingly dangerous war between press and government. As each side digs in, we become witness to an epic and ongoing fight for the integrity of human life and truth itself—a conflict that extends beyond the Philippines into our own divisive backyard. A Film by Ramona S. Diaz (IMELDA, MOTHERLAND).

Cosponsored by the Michigan Theater.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope (September 29, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 68986-17207580@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 29, 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.

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

About the Sesame Workshop / International Rescue Committee and BRAC Refugee Response project (Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Bangladesh):

In two historic partnerships aimed at changing how education is valued and delivered in humanitarian crises, Sesame Workshop, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and BRAC have launched the largest early-childhood intervention in the history of humanitarian response with groundbreaking grants from the MacArthur Foundation and LEGO Foundation. In homes, centers, and other settings, Sesame Workshop, the IRC and BRAC are bringing playful lessons and nurturing care to thousands of displaced children in Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon, with millions more reached through television and mobile devices. Additionally, Sesame is partnering with BRAC to support children affected by the Rohingya refugee crisis, bringing early education grounded in the power of play to hundreds of thousands of children in and around the massive refugee settlement at Cox’s Bazar. Learn more about the historic Global TIES partnerships and Sesame Workshop intervention work.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Sheryl Oring returns to University of Michigan for virtual performances of “I Wish to Say” from September 29-November 1, 2020 as part of the university’s Democracy & Debate Theme Semester in collaboration with Stamps Gallery and Wayne State University.

In this project, Oring invites participants to dictate a message to the next president of the United States of America. Oring was last on the Ann Arbor campus in 2017 as part of the Stamps Gallery exhibition Vital Signs for a New America, curated by Srimoyee Mitra. For the 2020 iteration of the project, Oring collaborates with students at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan, who will meet with members of the general public via Zoom to take dictation of the public’s messages to the next president. Students will type these messages on mid-century manual typewriters on the Zoom call in a performative fashion. The typed postcards will be mailed directly to the White House on the participant’s behalf after the inauguration.

Voters Broadcast

Selected messages will be set in Voters’ Broadcast, a new musical work conceived and composed by Lisa Bielawa, which will bring together choirs from the University of Michigan and Wayne State University. The 15-minute musical work will be released in three parts over the course of the fall semester as part of the Democracy & Debate Theme Semester programming.

Premiered in three virtual events online:
Wednesday, September 30, 3 pm
Wednesday, October 14, 3 pm
Wednesday, October 28, 3 pm

Watch the performances here: http://www.lisabielawa.net/voters-broadcast

Sheryl Oring returns to University of Michigan for virtual performances of “I Wish to Say” from September 29-November 1, 2020 as part of the university’s Democracy & Debate Theme Semester in collaboration with Stamps Gallery and Wayne State University.

In this project, Oring invites participants to dictate a message to the next president of the United States of America. Oring was last on the Ann Arbor campus in 2017 as part of the Stamps Gallery exhibition Vital Signs for a New America, curated by Srimoyee Mitra. For the 2020 iteration of the project, Oring collaborates with students at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan, who will meet with members of the general public via Zoom to take dictation of the public’s messages to the next president. Students will type these messages on mid-century manual typewriters on the Zoom call in a performative fashion. The typed postcards will be mailed directly to the White House on the participant’s behalf after the inauguration.

About the movie:
On June 15, 2020, journalist Maria Ressa was found guilty of cyber libel, setting a ticking clock on the limited time she has to get her story out to the world and keep the fight for democracy alive in this all too familiar tale of an autocratic leader drowning out “fake news.” Nowhere is the worldwide erosion of democracy, fueled by social media disinformation campaigns, more starkly evident than in the authoritarian regime of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Ressa places the tools of the free press—and her freedom—on the line in defense of truth and democracy. Ramona S. Diaz’s thrilling film follows key players from two sides of an increasingly dangerous war between press and government. As each side digs in, we become witness to an epic and ongoing fight for the integrity of human life and truth itself—a conflict that extends beyond the Philippines into our own divisive backyard. A Film by Ramona S. Diaz (IMELDA, MOTHERLAND).

Cosponsored by the Michigan Theater.

Trumpocalypse: Restoring American Democracy (October 5, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76225 76225-19677557@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 5, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

David Frum discusses his new book, Trumpocalypse, and the impact of the Trump presidency on the political culture and democracy of the United States with moderator Megan Tompkins-Stange. Frum, writer at The Atlantic and former speechwriter to President George W. Bush, provides a look at impact the Trump presidency has had on partisanship and political culture.

About the book:

A huge swath of Americans has put their faith in Trump, and Trump only, because they see the rest of the country building a future that doesn’t have a place for them. If they would risk their lives for Trump in a pandemic, they will certainly risk the stability of American democracy. They brought the Trumpocalypse upon the country, and a post-Trumpocalypse country will have to find a way either to reconcile them to democracy - or to protect democracy from them.

In Trumpocalypse, David Frum looks at what happens when a third of the electorate refuses to abandon Donald Trump, no matter what he does. Those voters aren’t looking for policy wins. They’re seeking cultural revenge. Americans can do better. David Frum shows how—and inspires all readers of all points of view to believe again in the possibilities of American life. Trumpocalypse is both a warning of danger and a guide to reform.

Israel and Palestine represent two dramatically competing narratives and the conflict between them is one of the most difficult and complicated in the world. It has significant implications for US foreign policy.
It evokes strong emotions from many Jews, Muslims (Arab and non-Arab), and Christians. This course will aim to explore the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a civil and open-minded way with a focus on philosophical issues of justice and human rights.
Strong opinions are welcome but only if accompanied by respect and openness to opposing views. Elias Baumgarten has published articles on this topic, spoken at University of Chicago and American University of Beirut. He has spent time in both Israel and Palestine.
The Study Group meets on Tuesdays Oct. 6 to Nov. 17 from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access this Study Group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

Moderator: Matthew Cebul, WCED postdoctoral fellow.

For nearly a year, Lebanon has been engulfed in crisis. Popular frustrations with government corruption boiled over into protest in October 2019, and have since been compounded by worsening economic collapse, the covid-19 pandemic, and most recently, the Beirut port explosion. This panel convenes in light of these ongoing events. Panelists will speak to the origins of Lebanese unrest, and identify pathways and obstacles towards recovery and reform.

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Democracy is undergoing an "alarming" decline across the world as a growing number of countries move towards authoritarian rule, according to Freedom House. In the U.S., there is much controversy relating to our degree of democracy and trends.
This course will help us to understand how and why democracies evolve and potentially fail, the tools of authoritarianism, and ways to build (or re-build) a stable democracy.
The course will consist of 2 sessions that include discussions with two national experts:
• Session 1: The Surge in Populism and Implications for Democracy/Autocracy. Pauline Jones, Professor at UM & Director UM International Institute
• Session 2: Building & Re-Building Stable Democracies (or How to Survive Autocracy). Sheri Berman, Professor at Barnard College
Session 1 meets on Tuesday Oct. 8. Session 2 TBD. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access this Study Group will be e-mailed to you approximately 1 week prior to first session.

Webinar: Pathways of Public Service and Civic Engagement (October 8, 2020 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78133 78133-19965484@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 8, 2020 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Ginsberg Center

Campus Compact’s 2020-2021 national webinar series takes the great and varied work happening on the ground around the country and brings it straight to your desk.

Stanford University's Haas Center for Public Service has collaborated with 55 public, private, two- and four-year institutions since 2013 to develop an innovative holistic framework: "Pathways of Public Service and Civic Engagement." The pathways describe a range of possibilities by which students can contribute to the common good: community-engaged learning/research; community organizing/activism; direct service; philanthropy; policy/governance; and social entrepreneurship/corporate social responsibility. The framework guides students in exploring how the pathways differ from each other in language, practice, and impact, and how pathways might intersect to effect social change.

A free online survey surfaces student predispositions and interests toward the pathways; opens students' eyes to lifelong career, engagement, and leadership opportunities; and assists community engagement practitioners in developing relevant programming. Presenters will share multi-institution research resulting from the survey. Survey data informs practitioners, who can place students in community settings where they have strong pathway inclinations, encourage students to explore pathways they hadn't considered, or ensure they experience all six pathways in multiple placements during college. Each pathway provides students with experience they can use with high-impact practices in curricular and co-curricular settings, and in the workplace and civil society.

About the movie:
On June 15, 2020, journalist Maria Ressa was found guilty of cyber libel, setting a ticking clock on the limited time she has to get her story out to the world and keep the fight for democracy alive in this all too familiar tale of an autocratic leader drowning out “fake news.” Nowhere is the worldwide erosion of democracy, fueled by social media disinformation campaigns, more starkly evident than in the authoritarian regime of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Ressa places the tools of the free press—and her freedom—on the line in defense of truth and democracy. Ramona S. Diaz’s thrilling film follows key players from two sides of an increasingly dangerous war between press and government. As each side digs in, we become witness to an epic and ongoing fight for the integrity of human life and truth itself—a conflict that extends beyond the Philippines into our own divisive backyard. A Film by Ramona S. Diaz (IMELDA, MOTHERLAND).

Cosponsored by the Michigan Theater.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope (October 9, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 68986-17207589@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 9, 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.

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

ABSTRACT: What sparks environmental policy leadership? Traditional explanations emphasize the importance of domestic interest groups and institutions but often overlook transnational actors that advocate for the adoption and spread of environmental policies. In this paper, I provide a new dataset on the adoption of environmental policies and develop a new definition of environmental policy leadership. I then show how transnational environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs) use their advocacy to stimulate countries' policy innovation and amplify their influence. I find that countries adopt new environmental policies at a 46% higher rate when more transnational ENGOs are present and countries that share more transnational ENGOs are 24% more likely to form leader-follower policymaking relationships. Transnational ENGOs appear to play an important role in catalyzing increases in national environmental policy leadership.

The primary function of this workshop is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for students and faculty to present their current projects and to receive feedback on either the methodological component of their project or a methodology under development. Presenters can also present new research questions and ideas and receive ideas about which methodologies would work best to tackle such questions. We define methodology broadly as the approaches to which data is collected and/or organized to give empirical content to social science research. It includes both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.

Jocelyn Benson is Michigan’s 43rd Secretary of State. In this role she is focused on ensuring elections are secure and accessible, and dramatically improving customer experiences for all who interact with our offices. Benson is the author of State Secretaries of State: Guardians of the Democratic Process, the first major book on the role of the secretary of state in enforcing election and campaign finance laws. A graduate of Harvard Law School and expert on civil rights law, education law and election law, Benson served as dean of Wayne State University Law School in Detroit. She continues to serve as vice chair of the advisory board for the Levin Center at Wayne Law, which she founded with former U.S. Sen. Carl Levin. Previously, Benson was an associate professor and associate director of Wayne Law’s Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights.

Frank LaRose took office as Ohio's 51st Secretary of State on January 14th, 2019. Prior to being elected to statewide office, he served two terms in the State Senate representing the 27th Senate District in northeast Ohio. As Ohio’s Secretary of State, LaRose is doing his part to deliver a thriving democracy and a prosperous economy. In his role as Ohio’s chief elections officer, he’s working to ensure Ohio’s elections are secure, accurate and accessible. He is also supporting Ohio entrepreneurs as the sole authority to receive and approve articles of incorporation for Ohio businesses. Among numerous recognitions, LaRose was named the Legislator of the Year in 2016 by the Ohio Association of Election Officials in recognition of his support and commitment to improving Ohio’s election process. LaRose, a native of northeast Ohio, graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Consumer Affairs and Business.

Jenna Bednar is a professor of political science at the University of Michigan, the Edie N Goldenberg Endowed Director for the Michigan in Washington Program, and a member of the external faculty at the Santa Fe Institute.

Sheryl Oring returns to University of Michigan for virtual performances of “I Wish to Say” from September 29-November 1, 2020 as part of the university’s Democracy & Debate Theme Semester in collaboration with Stamps Gallery and Wayne State University.

In this project, Oring invites participants to dictate a message to the next president of the United States of America. Oring was last on the Ann Arbor campus in 2017 as part of the Stamps Gallery exhibition Vital Signs for a New America, curated by Srimoyee Mitra. For the 2020 iteration of the project, Oring collaborates with students at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan, who will meet with members of the general public via Zoom to take dictation of the public’s messages to the next president. Students will type these messages on mid-century manual typewriters on the Zoom call in a performative fashion. The typed postcards will be mailed directly to the White House on the participant’s behalf after the inauguration.

Michigan and Other Battleground States (October 12, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/75631 75631-19552842@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 12, 2020 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Michigan is one of a group of swing states that have had close, competitive races in recent presidential campaigns and down ballot contests. Our panel of journalists explores how Michigan and other current battleground states are faring and impacting the 2020 campaigns and election.

Moderated by Stephen Henderson, our panelists Riley Beggin of Bridge Magazine and Tim Alberta of Politico will examine what causes battleground states to swing and what effect they have on political parties or candidates’ choices of issues to emphasize.

Stephen Henderson is host of Detroit Today on WDET, co-host of One Detroit on Detroit Public Television, project executive for BridgeDetroit and a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.

A native of Detroit, Henderson is a graduate of University of Detroit High School and the University of Michigan. His resume includes stints at the Detroit Free Press, the Chicago Tribune, the Baltimore Sun, and four years covering the Supreme Court for Knight Ridder’s Washington Bureau.

Riley Beggin is a Capitol reporter covering Michigan politics, including legislative, gubernatorial and other statewide elections. She joined Bridge in January 2018 after working at KPCC, Los Angeles’ NPR member station. Before that, she was a fellow at ABC News’ Washington Bureau and an intern with NPR’s investigative unit.

Beggin majored in history and international relations at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. She also holds a Master’s Degree in investigative journalism from the University of Missouri.

Tim Alberta is chief political correspondent for POLITICO, where his longer form work is often published in the publication’s magazine.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

For a limited time, we are sponsoring free access to this film's virtual viewing. For instructions, please email cseas@umich.edu with the subject “Request to watch ‘A Thousand Cuts’”

About the movie:
On June 15, 2020, journalist Maria Ressa was found guilty of cyber libel, setting a ticking clock on the limited time she has to get her story out to the world and keep the fight for democracy alive in this all too familiar tale of an autocratic leader drowning out “fake news.” Nowhere is the worldwide erosion of democracy, fueled by social media disinformation campaigns, more starkly evident than in the authoritarian regime of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Ressa places the tools of the free press—and her freedom—on the line in defense of truth and democracy. Ramona S. Diaz’s thrilling film follows key players from two sides of an increasingly dangerous war between press and government. As each side digs in, we become witness to an epic and ongoing fight for the integrity of human life and truth itself—a conflict that extends beyond the Philippines into our own divisive backyard. A Film by Ramona S. Diaz (IMELDA, MOTHERLAND).

Cosponsored by the Michigan Theater.

Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the 60s and 70s: Kaleidoscope (October 13, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68986 68986-17207592@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 13, 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.

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

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Sheryl Oring returns to University of Michigan for virtual performances of “I Wish to Say” from September 29-November 1, 2020 as part of the university’s Democracy & Debate Theme Semester in collaboration with Stamps Gallery and Wayne State University.

In this project, Oring invites participants to dictate a message to the next president of the United States of America. Oring was last on the Ann Arbor campus in 2017 as part of the Stamps Gallery exhibition Vital Signs for a New America, curated by Srimoyee Mitra. For the 2020 iteration of the project, Oring collaborates with students at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan, who will meet with members of the general public via Zoom to take dictation of the public’s messages to the next president. Students will type these messages on mid-century manual typewriters on the Zoom call in a performative fashion. The typed postcards will be mailed directly to the White House on the participant’s behalf after the inauguration.

Democracy Conversations (featuring the UMMA Dialogue Deck) (October 13, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78247 78247-19998913@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 13, 2020 7:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Register for October 13th: http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=uhlrs88ab&oeidk=a07ehcay0gjdcc701ce.

In advance of the Presidential election, UMMA and U-M's Ginsberg Center for Community Service and Learning created the “Dialogue Deck for Personal and Political Reflection." The Dialogue Deck pairs twelve images from UMMA’s permanent collection with provocative discussion prompts designed to encourage conversation and reflection about US culture and politics. The Dialogue Deck activity is meant to encourage meaningful dialogue and connection with your family, friends, colleagues, and maybe even yourself.

During the month of October, UMMA will host three "Democracy Conversations" via Zoom that feature the Dialogue Deck activity. Participants will be sorted into small breakout groups of 4-5 people and paired with a host who will gently guide the activity and conversation.  Conversations will last one hour, and offer the opportunity for individuals to learn more about the Dialogue Deck activity and engage in conversation with others outside their immediate social circles. 

The Dialogue Deck can be used by anyone as a self-guided discussion tool, and the print version of the deck is available for free at the UMMA Shop.

UMMA's Vote2020 initiative is presented in connection with the U-M Democracy & Debate theme semester. Thanks to our partners at the Penny Stamps School of Art & Design, the Ginsberg Center for Community Service & Learning, the Ann Arbor City Clerk's Office, and the Center for World Performance Studies.
