Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: International Institute

David Turnley is considered by many to be one of the best documentary photographers working today. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, two World Press Photos of the Year, and the Robert Capa Award for Courage, he has photographed the human condition in some 75 countries around the world.

Turnley was a Detroit Free Press staff photographer from 1980 to 1998. He was based in South Africa from 1985 to 1987, where he documented the country under Apartheid rule. He has been a dear friend of the Mandela family for the last thirty years and photographed Nelson Mandela and the South African struggle over these last three decades. He was based in Paris from 1987 to 1997, covering such events as the Persian Gulf War, revolutions in Eastern Europe, student uprisings in China, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

He has published seven books of his photographic work, including, Mandela: In Times of Struggle and Triumph, from his extensive time over the last twenty-five years photographing the evolution of South Africa, and Nelson Mandela and his family.

David has directed and produced three feature-length documentaries. The Dalai Lama: At Home and in Exile, for CNN; La Tropical, called by Albert Maysles “the most sensual film ever shot in Cuba”; and his epic story of Shenandoah, about the tough coal region of Pennsylvania.

David is an associate professor at the University of Michigan, with appointments in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Residential College. He studied filmmaking at Harvard on a Nieman Fellowship and has honorary doctorates from the New School of Social Research in New York, and from the University of St. Francis in Indiana. He received a BA in French literature from the University of Michigan and has also studied at the Sorbonne in Paris.

Join SLE for a raft trip on the Huron River! Meet outside the Vandenberg Community Center at 12:30pm in your river/paddling attire and ride together to the Argo Canoe Livery. SLE will provide rafts, paddles and lifejackets for students rented from Argo, and we will paddle together down the river to Gallop Park. We will be paddling on the river from 1-2:30pm, and return to Oxford around 3pm. The river is fairly shallow and gentle, with the exception of a several modest human-made cascades at the start of the trip near Argo Canoe Livery (pictured here).

*consider sunblock, sunhats, sunglasses, hydration (water bottles), and water resistant shoes/sandals that stay on well*

NOTE: The water level on the Huron River is low (it is very shallow), which means that we will probably need to use two-person kayaks instead of five-person rafts.

Tuesday, October 3, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)

The Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies

Just when the world is losing hope about the possibility of resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict comes Encounter Point. Created by a Palestinian, Israeli, North and South American team, Encounter Point moves beyond sensational and dogmatic imagery to tell the story of an Israeli settler, a Palestinian ex-prisoner, a bereaved Israeli mother and a wounded Palestinian bereaved brother who risk their safety and public standing to press for an end to the conflict. They are at the vanguard of a movement to push Palestinian and Israeli societies to a tipping point, forging a new consensus for nonviolence and peace. Perhaps years from now, their actions will be recognized as a catalyst for constructive change in the region. Encounter Point is a film about hope, true courage and implicitly about the silence of journalists and politicians who pay little attention to vital grassroots peace efforts.

Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Science, Technology, and Public Policy (STPP) Program

Talk summary: The process of technological displacement of workers began in the automobile industry in the 1960’s, and with the rise of connectivity and AI it is accelerating rapidly. For example, it may be no surprise, given what’s happened in the automobile industry, that the world’s first farm that is completely run by robots has just opened in Japan; or that a new robot is available for the construction industry that can lay bricks three times faster than a human. This kind of displacement of manual labor happened in previous industrial revolutions as well. More surprising, however, is the breadth of jobs that can be replaced by intelligent automation; it isn’t just manual labor that’s being replaced: even writers, for instance, are being displaced by computer software. In January, 2016, “the Associated Press (AP) revealed that [a software program called] Wordsmith has been rolling out content since July 2014 without any human intervention.” This Wordsmith software has been generating 1000 stories per month, which is “14 times more than the previous manual output of AP's reporters and editors.” In terms of sheer productivity, human writers cannot keep up with computers and robots. So what can we do as a society to compensate for technological unemployment, and to prevent the poverty, dislocation, and even violence that might follow, as it has in past industrial revolutions? My talk will present both the problems and possible short and longterm solutions to them.

Speaker Bio: Dr. Kevin LaGrandeur is Professor at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), specializing in technology and culture. He is also a Fellow of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technology, an international think tank, and a co-founder of the NY Posthuman Research Group and of the Visual Pathways Technology Consortium (for researching tech apps for the blind). Dr. LaGrandeur has written many articles and conference presentations on digital culture; on Artificial Intelligence and ethics; and on literature and science. His publications have appeared in journals such as Computers & Texts, Computers and the Humanities, and Science Fiction Studies; in books such as Eloquent Images: Word and Image in the Age of New Media and Beyond Artificial Intelligence: The Disappearing Human-Machine Divide, which contains his essay, ‘Emotion, Artificial Intelligence, and Ethics.’ He has also published on Artificial Intelligence, society, and ethics in popular publications such as USA Today and United Press International (UPI). His book Artificial Slaves (Routledge, 2013), about the premodern cultural history of Artificial Intelligence and its foreshadowing of today’s technology, was Awarded a 2014 Science Fiction and Technoculture Studies Prize. In April, 2017, his latest book, co-edited with James Hughes, was published. About the future of AI’s displacement of human workers and how to meet this challenge, it is titled Surviving the Machine Age: Intelligent Technology and the Transformation of Human Work.

This event is free and open to the public.

Dylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore
Saturdays, September 9-October 14, 1-3 pm

Dylan Miner, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University, is an artist, activist, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis), the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations, wage labor, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context.

Sheryl Oring: I Wish to Say
Friday, September 8, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)
Fridays, September 15-October 13, 5-7 pm

Nationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing), a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.

The Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them, a rich personal archive of publication clippings, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s.

Vital Signs for a New America (September 13, 2017 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/41894 41894-9489307@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 13, 2017 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

On view from September 8-October 14, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St., Ann Arbor), Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner, Sheryl Oring, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner, Oring, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories; listening and re-learning; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.

Active public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring; and a tactile, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out, listen, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.

Dylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore
Saturdays, September 9-October 14, 1-3 pm

Dylan Miner, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University, is an artist, activist, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis), the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations, wage labor, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.

Sheryl Oring: I Wish to Say
Friday, September 8, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)
Fridays, September 15-October 13, 5-7 pm

Nationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing), a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.

The Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers
Tuesday, October 3, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)

The Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them, a rich personal archive of publication clippings, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts, art, politics, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

Dylan Miner: Elders Say We Don't Visit Anymore - Vital Signs for a New America (September 16, 2017 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/41897 41897-9491396@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, September 16, 2017 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

On view from September 8-October 14, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St., Ann Arbor), Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner, Sheryl Oring, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner, Oring, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories; listening and re-learning; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.

Active public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring; and a tactile, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out, listen, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.

Dylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore
Saturdays, September 9-October 14, 1-3 pm

Dylan Miner, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University, is an artist, activist, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis), the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations, wage labor, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.

The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season has produced incredibly destructive storms, and has raised many questions. What drives a hurricane? How accurate are hurricane models? How do authorities prepare for hurricanes and, when destructive events like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma happen, how do we respond? Is this hurricane season a fluke, or should we start planning for more/similar storms? In this Teach-Out, we will explore the science of hurricanes, hurricane forecasting and monitoring, and with what confidence can we attribute these storms to a warming ocean.

Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come, join the conversation!

Sheryl Oring: I Wish to Say
Friday, September 8, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)
Fridays, September 15-October 13, 5-7 pm

Nationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing), a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.

The Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers
Tuesday, October 3, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)

The Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them, a rich personal archive of publication clippings, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts, art, politics, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

Vital Signs for a New America (September 21, 2017 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/41894 41894-9489313@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 21, 2017 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

On view from September 8-October 14, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St., Ann Arbor), Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner, Sheryl Oring, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner, Oring, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories; listening and re-learning; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.

Active public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring; and a tactile, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out, listen, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.

Dylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore
Saturdays, September 9-October 14, 1-3 pm

Dylan Miner, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University, is an artist, activist, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis), the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations, wage labor, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.

Sheryl Oring: I Wish to Say
Friday, September 8, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)
Fridays, September 15-October 13, 5-7 pm

Nationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing), a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.

The Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers
Tuesday, October 3, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)

The Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them, a rich personal archive of publication clippings, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts, art, politics, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season has produced incredibly destructive storms, and has raised many questions. What drives a hurricane? How accurate are hurricane models? How do authorities prepare for hurricanes and, when destructive events like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma happen, how do we respond? Is this hurricane season a fluke, or should we start planning for more/similar storms? In this Teach-Out, we will explore the science of hurricanes, hurricane forecasting and monitoring, and with what confidence can we attribute these storms to a warming ocean.

Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come, join the conversation!

Vital Signs for a New America (September 26, 2017 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/41894 41894-9489316@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 26, 2017 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

On view from September 8-October 14, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St., Ann Arbor), Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner, Sheryl Oring, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner, Oring, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories; listening and re-learning; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.

Active public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring; and a tactile, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out, listen, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.

Dylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore
Saturdays, September 9-October 14, 1-3 pm

Dylan Miner, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University, is an artist, activist, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis), the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations, wage labor, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.

Sheryl Oring: I Wish to Say
Friday, September 8, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)
Fridays, September 15-October 13, 5-7 pm

Nationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing), a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.

The Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers
Tuesday, October 3, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)

The Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them, a rich personal archive of publication clippings, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts, art, politics, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

LACS Lecture. Atlantic History Initiative. Rumors of Slavery: Defending Emancipation in a Hostile Caribbean (September 26, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/43885 43885-9852283@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 26, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

Professor Eller will be workshopping her recent article, “Rumors of Slavery,” as well as discussing its connections to her book, We Dream Together: Dominican Independence, Haiti, and the Fight for Caribbean Freedom. In her study of the reoccupation of Dominican territory by the Spanish, Eller deepens study of the impact of the Haitian Revolution in the Atlantic world and breaks from paradigms that emphasize perpetual conflict between Haitians and Dominicans in the nineteenth century. She contextualizes the small body of writing of Dominican elites with new analyses of inclusive and popular histories of identity, community, and freedom, summoning sources that range from trial records and consul reports to fragments of poetry and song. Rethinking Dominican relationships with their communities, the national project, and the greater Caribbean, Eller shows how popular anticolonial resistance, as well as Caribbean anti-slavery movements across multiple islands and coasts, were anchored in a rich and complex political culture that traveled beyond individual shores.

Anne Eller is an assistant professor of history at Yale University. She teaches and researches colonial and modern Caribbean and Latin American history, comparative colonialisms, citizenship, Atlantic history, and the African Diaspora. She is currently writing a second monograph about the Caribbean after emancipation, tentatively entitled Other 1898s.

The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season has produced incredibly destructive storms, and has raised many questions. What drives a hurricane? How accurate are hurricane models? How do authorities prepare for hurricanes and, when destructive events like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma happen, how do we respond? Is this hurricane season a fluke, or should we start planning for more/similar storms? In this Teach-Out, we will explore the science of hurricanes, hurricane forecasting and monitoring, and with what confidence can we attribute these storms to a warming ocean.

Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies

Please join CMENAS for our two-day event series, "Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS): Saving Syrian Lives at the Frontline," featuring Syrian American Medical Society

Day 1: "Do Syrian Refugees Exist?" will explore the current refugee crisis in Syria through the work of Syrian American Medical Society volunteers, Dr. Jihad Shoshara, Dr. Hisham Bismar, and Ms. Lara Zakaria.

Day 2: "Arab American Profiles: Medicine and Humanism in Action." This event will explore the pressure that many debt-burdened students and community members feel in having to choose between medicine as a vocation and languages and humanities as an avocation. SAMS volunteers will offer stories of how to balance gainful employment and humanitarian work. Our aim is to help community members and students cultivate their own identity and aspirations.

Volunteers will raise awareness of the current situation in Syria, their invisible patients, and their experiences of engaging in medical relief and humanitarian work.

Teach Out Series- Hurricanes: What's Next? (September 30, 2017 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/44496 44496-9923091@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, September 30, 2017 12:00pm

Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season has produced incredibly destructive storms, and has raised many questions. What drives a hurricane? How accurate are hurricane models? How do authorities prepare for hurricanes and, when destructive events like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma happen, how do we respond? Is this hurricane season a fluke, or should we start planning for more/similar storms? In this Teach-Out, we will explore the science of hurricanes, hurricane forecasting and monitoring, and with what confidence can we attribute these storms to a warming ocean.

Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come, join the conversation!

Vital Signs for a New America (September 30, 2017 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/41894 41894-9489320@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, September 30, 2017 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

On view from September 8-October 14, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St., Ann Arbor), Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner, Sheryl Oring, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner, Oring, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories; listening and re-learning; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.

Active public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring; and a tactile, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out, listen, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.

Dylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore
Saturdays, September 9-October 14, 1-3 pm

Dylan Miner, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University, is an artist, activist, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis), the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations, wage labor, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.

Sheryl Oring: I Wish to Say
Friday, September 8, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)
Fridays, September 15-October 13, 5-7 pm

Nationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing), a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.

The Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers
Tuesday, October 3, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)

The Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them, a rich personal archive of publication clippings, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts, art, politics, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies

Please join CMENAS for our two-day event series, "Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS): Saving Syrian Lives at the Frontline," featuring Syrian American Medical Society

Day 1: "Do Syrian Refugees Exist?" will explore the current refugee crisis in Syria through the work of Syrian American Medical Society volunteers, Dr. Jihad Shoshara, Dr. Hisham Bismar, and Ms. Lara Zakaria.

Day 2: "Arab American Profiles: Medicine and Humanism in Action." This event will explore the pressure that many debt-burdened students and community members feel in having to choose between medicine as a vocation and languages and humanities as an avocation. SAMS volunteers will offer stories of how to balance gainful employment and humanitarian work. Our aim is to help community members and students cultivate their own identity and aspirations.

Volunteers will raise awareness of the current situation in Syria, their invisible patients, and their experiences of engaging in medical relief and humanitarian work.

A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them, a rich personal archive of publication clippings, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts, art, politics, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

On view from September 8-October 14, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S.

There will be an exhibition reception on Friday, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner, Oring, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories; listening and re-learning; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.

As part of the exhibition programming, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring; and a tactile, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out, listen, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.

Dylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore
Saturdays, September 9-October 14, 1-3 pm

Dylan Miner, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University, is an artist, activist, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis), the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations, wage labor, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.

Sheryl Oring: I Wish to Say
Friday, September 8, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)
Fridays, September 15-October 13, 5-7 pm

Nationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing), a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.

Location: Dana Natural Resources Building
Organized By: School for Environment and Sustainability

This year's Harlow Whittemore Lecture features Chelina Odbert, co-founder and executive director of Kounkuey Design Initiative (KDI), and her colleague Joe Mulligan, and associate director of KDI.

Kounkey Design Initiative (KDI) is a non-profit design and community development organization that partners with underserved communities in the US, Africa, and Latin America to physically transform communities and in the process, improve environmental, economic, and social quality of life. KDI was started in 2006 and is composed of architects, engineers, planners, and the communities they work with to create productive public spaces and empower the people of those communities to address major physical, social, and economical issues they face.

Harlow O. Whittemore (1889-1986) was a nationally recognized leader in landscape architecture and community planning. After receiving his Masters degree in Landscape Design from U-M in 1914, Harlow joined the landscape architecture faculty the same year, where he served as a professor and the chairman of the Department of Landscape Architecture and City Planning until his retirement in 1958.

LACS Lecture. Who owns mosquitoes? Decolonizing public health in the Caribbean (October 10, 2017 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/42976 42976-9685691@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 10, 2017 3:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

Since the outbreak of Zika virus began in 2014, many efforts have been carried out to control, reduce, and/or attempt to eliminate mosquito populations in the Caribbean. These efforts have been stymied largely by the fact that Aedes Aegypti, which is the mosquito that also transmits the Dengue and Chinkungunya viruses, is endemic to all of Central America and the Caribbean. Zika has also revived many of the early debates and problems faced by scientists and health care providers during the early days of the HIV epidemic due to the initially largely unknown dynamics of Zika syndrome and the discovery that it can be transmitted sexually. This rare combination of sexual transmission and transmission by mosquito has produced new articulations of social and medical power that build on the long history of epidemics in the Caribbean, as well as the manifold imperial projects devised to control contagious disease in the tropics. How can we account for both human and non-human action in these novel articulations of health and empire? Who has the right to intervene in mosquito and human populations and on what basis should they do so? This talk will address these questions by inquiring into the process through which Zika virus became endemic to the region, and how state, community, and global forms of power organized themselves in response to the viral threat posed by these mosquitoes.

There will be an exhibition reception on Friday, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

Curated by Srimoyee Mitra, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner, Oring, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories; listening and re-learning; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.

Active public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring; and a tactile, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out, listen, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.

Dylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore
Saturdays, September 9-October 14, 1-3 pm

Dylan Miner, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University, is an artist, activist, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis), the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations, wage labor, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.

Sheryl Oring: I Wish to Say
Friday, September 8, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)
Fridays, September 15-October 13, 5-7 pm

Nationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing), a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.

The Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers
Tuesday, October 3, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)

The Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them, a rich personal archive of publication clippings, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts, art, politics, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.
