Teach Out Series: Free Speech on Campus (February 26, 2018 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/49611 49611-11484690@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 26, 2018 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

Free speech is essential for a healthy, vibrant, and democratic society. Yet, the idea of freedom of speech on university campuses is challenged by the ever-evolving social and political realities of a contemporary democracy. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the role free speech plays on university campuses and how this discourse shapes the broader narrative about free speech protection across the United States. Why is free speech suddenly an issue on university campuses? Is speech or safety at the crux of the issue? How has the definition of free speech evolved between the 20th and 21st centuries and how are universities addressing these changes?

This Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion, to explore how those views play out in politics, culture, higher education, sports, and journalism, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

The University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems, events, and phenomena most important to society.

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!

Each participant sets their own objective at the start of the workshop and works toward their personal goals with a licensed speech-language pathologist. This 10-week workshop will help you build confidence with both group and individual activities.

Free speech is essential for a healthy, vibrant, and democratic society. Yet, the idea of freedom of speech on university campuses is challenged by the ever-evolving social and political realities of a contemporary democracy. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the role free speech plays on university campuses and how this discourse shapes the broader narrative about free speech protection across the United States. Why is free speech suddenly an issue on university campuses? Is speech or safety at the crux of the issue? How has the definition of free speech evolved between the 20th and 21st centuries and how are universities addressing these changes?

This Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion, to explore how those views play out in politics, culture, higher education, sports, and journalism, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

The University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems, events, and phenomena most important to society.

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.

High Stakes Culture: Why Monuments? Why Now? (March 7, 2018 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/47625 47625-10963404@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 7, 2018 5:30pm
Location: North Quad
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

A conversation about why and how monuments matter, and about the stories behind the torch-bearing white nationalists worshiping at the feet of Confederate monuments in 2017.

Join the conversation and hear what humanities scholars Walter Johnson (history and African American studies, Harvard University), Matthew Countryman (American culture), Kristin Hass (American culture) and Scotti Parrish (English) with moderator Angela Dillard (Afroamerican and African studies) are saying about high stakes culture now.

We’ll ask questions like:

*Who built the monuments, and when and why were they built?
*How does the memorialization of the past matter to the present?
*Should a new understanding of history shape the way we interpret monuments to the past?

Join the conversation and hear what humanities scholars are saying about high stakes culture, and what we may have to gain when we lose.

About the series:

In the last few months a series of “culture wars” have been ignited across the country. Activists from all points of the political spectrum, even the President of the United States himself, are turning to beloved cultural objects to stake a claim for their differing beliefs in a politically fraught moment. Black athletes are taking a knee. Anti-immigration voters are rallying for a wall. Long-standing Confederate monuments are coming down.

What is at stake in the ways we understand culture and cultural conflict? High Stakes Culture is a new series, presented by the Institute for the Humanities and the Humanities Collaboratory, that brings humanities perspectives to bear on current debates. Join us as we ask: How and why does culture matter so much now?

Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

Free speech is essential for a healthy, vibrant, and democratic society. Yet, the idea of freedom of speech on university campuses is challenged by the ever-evolving social and political realities of a contemporary democracy. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the role free speech plays on university campuses and how this discourse shapes the broader narrative about free speech protection across the United States. Why is free speech suddenly an issue on university campuses? Is speech or safety at the crux of the issue? How has the definition of free speech evolved between the 20th and 21st centuries and how are universities addressing these changes?

This Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion, to explore how those views play out in politics, culture, higher education, sports, and journalism, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

The University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community, including faculty experts.

Teach Out Series: Free Speech on Campus (March 10, 2018 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/49611 49611-11484702@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 10, 2018 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

Free speech is essential for a healthy, vibrant, and democratic society. Yet, the idea of freedom of speech on university campuses is challenged by the ever-evolving social and political realities of a contemporary democracy. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the role free speech plays on university campuses and how this discourse shapes the broader narrative about free speech protection across the United States. Why is free speech suddenly an issue on university campuses? Is speech or safety at the crux of the issue? How has the definition of free speech evolved between the 20th and 21st centuries and how are universities addressing these changes?

This Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion, to explore how those views play out in politics, culture, higher education, sports, and journalism, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

The University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems, events, and phenomena most important to society.

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!

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Tau Beta Pi

**Note change of location**
We are excited to announce the launch of TBP Graduate Student Speaker Series: Training (for) Better Presentations organized by Tau Beta Pi for the College of Engineering, a pilot professional development event funded by the College of Engineering and the Office of Student Affairs.

Training (for) Better Presentations is aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills, so they can learn to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience. It also aims to engage a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering.

Intended as "teaching through practice" event, each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

Starting mid-February and leading up to June, we will be organizing multiple sessions for this event, and we invite you to participate. The sessions will be held on Saturday mornings (9am - 11am), and will be scheduled to occur once every 2-3 weeks. Breakfast and coffee will be provided!

If you are interested in participating as a speaker, please indicate your availability on the "Speaker sign up" form and the planning committee will follow up with you for scheduling. If you are interested in participating as an audience member, please sign up through our TBP website on the "Audience sign up" link. Note: you be prompted to create a guest profile in order to sign-up as an audience member.

We look forward to your participation!

2018 Helmut W. Baer Lecture in Physics | Detecting the Tiny Thump of the Neutrino (March 14, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/40987 40987-8875735@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 14, 2018 4:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department Colloquia

Neutrinos are “ghostly” particles, interacting only rarely with matter. Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) was first predicted in 1973; it’s a process in which a neutrino scatters off an entire nucleus. By neutrino standards, CEvNS occurs frequently, but it is tremendously challenging to see. The only way to observe it is to detect the minuscule thump of the nuclear recoil. CEvNS was measured for the first time by the COHERENT collaboration using the unique, high-quality source of neutrinos from the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This talk will describe COHERENT's recent measurement of CEvNS, the status and plans of COHERENT's suite of detectors at the SNS, and the physics we will learn from the measurements.

The Helmut W. Baer Lecture is a special colloquium supported by family and friends in honor of Dr. Helmut Baer. Dr. Baer's career in physics began with his work at the University of Michigan where he was awarded a doctorate in nuclear physics in 1967. He published over 100 articles that cover a range of physics topics including nuclear physics and pion interactions. Dr. Baer was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in March of 1989, and to his delight enjoyed countless opportunities over the years to talk about physics at universities and conferences internationally. Dr. Baer set the highest personal standards for himself and his research. This lecture is held approximately every two years.

Location: Dana Building
Organized By: University of Michigan Sustainable Food Program (UMSFP)

This event is part of VegWeek, a series of talks on the health, environmental, and ethical benefit of a plant-based diet. This screening is in partnership with UM Sustainable Food Program's Movie Series, which highlights an array of sustainable food topics.

The event will be accompanied with catering from Jerusalem garden!

Forks Over Knives empowers people to live healthier lives by changing the way the world understands nutrition. As science has shown, chronic conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes can be prevented, halted, and often reversed by making one change that requires no prescription and is accessible to all: leaving animal-based and highly refined foods off the plate and adopting a whole-food, plant-based diet instead.

The documentary will be accompanied by a Q&A with Marc Ramirez, a former UM Football Player whose life was drastically changed after watching the film. Through the power of food, Marc reversed his type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, psoriasis, frequent heartburn, and lost 70 pounds.

Using Microsoft PowerPoint, we will also explore techniques for organizing materials, adding informative graphics & charts, and how to prepare your poster for printing.

This workshop is restricted to current UROP students only.

Mike O’Connell is the founder and President of The Woodmar Group, a California based winery. The Woodmar Group started in 2004 in Napa, California with the focus of using Napa Valley winemaking skills to produce wines that retail in the $10 – $15 price point. The brands include Grayson Cellars, Block Nine, Five Rows, Freelander, Ghostrunner and Hanging Vine and are sold into 50 states and 25 countries. Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate gave Grayson wines Best Buy ratings for eleven consecutive releases. The company is run by Mike and his wife and is one of the larger family owned wineries in the United States. The company is named in tribute to Woodmar Country Club, a now defunct golf course in Mike’s native Indiana where he spent countless hours learning life’s lessons playing golf. Prior to founding The Woodmar Group, Mike ran legendary Indy car driver Mario Andretti’s winery, Andretti Winery, in Napa California where he grew sales 100% in three years. The turn-around plan included renegotiating contracts, reducing the product line, improving product quality, redesigning packaging and building a national sales force.

Location: Mason Hall
Organized By: Engineering Office of Student Affairs

Schwarzman Scholars is a highly-selective, fully-funded scholarship program, based at the distinguished Tsinghua University in Beijing, designed to ensure that the next generation of business, political and civil society leaders around the world can effectively serve as bridges between China and the rest of the world. We aim to achieve this by (1) recruiting promising young leaders from around the world, people who have the ambition and talent to take on executive roles in government, civil society, or business and who have a commitment to building understanding among people with differing perspectives; (2) educating them about China’s global role via a one-year Master’s in global affairs at Tsinghua and (3) linking them to senior mentors in their field in China and to their peers among China’s rising young leaders. You may also find it helpful to view this video introduction, this profile in the New York Times, and/or to download the program’s full brochure.
Applications for the 2019-2020 class open April 2018, with selections made in November 2018. (Applicants with Chinese passports apply by May 2018, with selections made in September 2018).
Scholars will hone their leadership skills through a curriculum designed by leading academics from around the globe and frequent interactions with distinguished guest lecturers. Additionally, Scholars will spend considerable time outside the classroom developing firsthand exposure to China and its people through thematic study tours, a mentoring program and internships with key employers in Beijing. All classes will be taught in English, and students will have the opportunity to study Mandarin. Schwarzman Scholars will recruit an internationally diverse cohort each year, people who have the ambition and talent to take on executive roles in government, civil society, or business and who have a commitment to building understanding among people with differing perspectives, welcoming applicants up to age 28.
The program has been built with the support of donors from around the world and a distinguished Advisory Board consisting of important leaders including Prime Minister Tony Blair, President Nicolas Sarkozy, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, Tung Chee Hwa, Henry Kissinger, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Hank Paulson, Bob Rubin, Jim Wolfensohn, Richard Haas, Richard Levin, Sir Colin Lucas, Richard Brodhead, Nobel Laureate Chen Ning Yang, John Thornton, Yo-Yo Ma, and Bob Dudley.

The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

Positive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross, and are free and open to the public.

About the talk:
As the world gets smaller, people with different cultural backgrounds are colliding like never before. A root cause of many everyday tensions between genders, races, and social classes is the clash between the values and practices of independence and those of interdependence. Drawing from her book, Clash! How to Thrive in a Multicultural World, Markus will show how recognizing and including interdependence within workplace culture cycles can bridge divides and enhance individual motivation, creativity, and performance.

About Markus:
Hazel Rose Markus is Professor of Psychology and Davis-Brack Professor in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. She is also co-director of SPARQ: Social Psychological Answers to Real-world Questions. Her research focuses on how culture shapes mind and behavior. She examines how multiple forms of culture (e.g., national origin, ethnicity, race, social class, gender and occupation) influence the self, and in turn, psychological functioning, including cognition, emotion, motivation and intergroup processes.

Host:
Julia Lee, Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations

Sponsors:

Writer to Writer w/ Susan Scott Parrish (March 20, 2018 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/47812 47812-11015151@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 20, 2018 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

Sweetland Center for Writing's Writer to Writer series lets you hear directly from University of Michigan professors about their challenges, processes, and expectations as writers and also as readers of student writing. Each semester, Writer to Writer pairs one esteemed University professor with a Sweetland faculty member for a conversation about writing.

This month Writer to Writer welcomes Susan Scott Parrish. Susan Scott Parrish is a Professor in the English Department and the Program in the Environment at UM. Her research addresses the interrelated issues of the environment, race and knowledge-making in the Atlantic world from the seventeenth century up through the present, with a particular emphasis on southern and Caribbean plantation zones. Her new book, The Flood Year 1927: A Cultural History (Princeton UP, 2017), examines how the most devastating, and publicly absorbing, US flood of the twentieth century took on meaning as it moved across media platforms, across sectional divides and across the color line. Her first book, American Curiosity: Cultures of Natural History in the Colonial British Atlantic World (UNCP, 2006), is a study of how people in England and in British-controlled America conceived of—and made knowledge about—American nature within Atlantic scientific networks. This book won both Phi Beta Kappa’s Emerson Award and the Jamestown Prize.

Writer to Writer takes place at the Literati bookstore and are broadcast live on WCBN radio. These conversations offer students a rare glimpse into the writing that professors do outside the classroom. You can hear instructors from various disciplines describe how they handle the same challenges student writers face, from finding a thesis to managing deadlines. Professors will also discuss what they want from student writers in their courses, and will take questions put forth by students and by other members of the University community. If there's anything you've ever wanted to ask a professor about writing, Writer to Writer gives you the chance.

Location: Center for the Education of Women
Organized By: CEW+

How can the body be a laboratory for examining dialogue, choice-making, roles and habits? In this interactive workshop, choreographer and King-Chavez-Parks Visiting Artist Eryn Rosenthal will share some of her research on the connections between a dance form called Contact Improvisation and the political writings of Steve Biko, Ada Colau, Paolo Freire, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, Judith Butler, and others. What can the body bring to larger discussions of dialogue-building, inclusion, resilience and empowerment?

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you can bend, move and stretch in. No experience necessary, and all bodies, abilities and backgrounds are actively welcome. This workshop includes talking, moving and listening.

Refreshments will be provided.

Choreographer and CEW Scholar Alum Eryn Rosenthal examines the democratic underpinnings of Contact Improvisation and the role of the body in transgressing previously legislated boundaries. She has worked with choreographers Sello Pesa, poet Elizabeth Alexander, and documentary theatre pioneer Anna Deavere Smith, among others. Eryn’s ongoing series The Doors Project investigates transitions–political, social, intimate–through site-based performance in different doorways around the world. Eryn holds a BA from Yale University and an MFA in Dance from U-M, where she also studied in the Ford School for Public Policy. She has performed and taught throughout the US, South Africa and Europe, and is currently teaching an interdisciplinary performance course at U-M's Residential College. She is delighted to be back at U-M as a King-Chávez-Parks Visiting Professor and Artist in Residence for Dialogue-Building, Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives. www.erynrosenthal.com

Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Tau Beta Pi

**Note change of location**
We are excited to announce the launch of TBP Graduate Student Speaker Series: Training (for) Better Presentations organized by Tau Beta Pi for the College of Engineering, a pilot professional development event funded by the College of Engineering and the Office of Student Affairs.

Training (for) Better Presentations is aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills, so they can learn to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience. It also aims to engage a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering.

Intended as "teaching through practice" event, each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

As CNN’s medical correspondent, Sanjay Gupta, M.D. has covered many disasters, medical discoveries, epidemics and catastrophes – enough to see the crucial role of effective and timely communication of health information.

On March 23-25, he and his wife Rebecca will team up with U-M to host an innovation event aimed at generating new ideas and tools to improve health communication.

The marathon weekend event, called the Gupta Family Hackathon, will include more than 200 students and professionals from the worlds of health, digital technology, design, communication and information science. Teams will form, work over the weekend, and present their prototypes for judging, competing for a chance to develop their ideas further with the help of U-M mentors.

The application to participate opens this month, and applicants will be selected on a rolling basis until March 1. There is no cost to participate, and food and team working space will be provided.

Organized by the U-M Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation, the event is co-supported by a gift from the Guptas and by Michigan Medicine, U-M’s academic medical center.

Explodity: Sound, Image, and Word in Russian Futurist Book Art (March 27, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/49981 49981-11611111@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 27, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Slavic Languages & Literatures

The product of close collaborations between poets and painters, the Russian artists’ books created between 1910 and 1915 are like no others. Taking her new book, Explodity, as a launching point, Nancy Perloff will argue that Futurist books were meant to be read, looked at, and listened to. The advanced abstraction of Kazimir Malevich offers a crucial context for manifestos by avant-garde poets Velimir Khlebnikov and Alexei Kruchenykh that dismissed referentiality and advocated the new poetic and phonic language of zaum (beyond the mind). Futurist and Formalist theory provide the basis for close readings of word-image-sound interplay in several Futurist books, including Pomada (Pomade) and Mirskontsa (Worldbackwards). The talk will conclude by considering the wide-ranging legacy of these works in the midcentury global movement of sound and concrete poetry.

www.getty.edu/ZaumPoetry
(an interactive website which exemplifies the interplay of word-image-sound in Futurist book art through audio recordings, Russian transliterations, and English translations of 10 poems, presented directly within the pages of the artists’ books)

Nancy Perloff (Ph.D. University of Michigan) is curator of modern and contemporary collections at the Getty Research Institute (GRI). Trained as a musicologist and as an art historian, she pursues scholarship on the Russian avant-garde, European modernism, and the relationship between music and the visual arts. Her exhibitions at the GRI include Monuments of the Future: Designs by El Lissitzky (1998–99); Sea Tails: A Video Collaboration (2004); Tango with Cows: Book Art of the Russian Avant-Garde, 1910–1917 (2008–9); and she led the curatorial team for World War I: War of Images, Images of War (2014). Perloff is the author of Art and the Everyday: Popular Entertainment and the Circle of Erik Satie (Oxford, 1991) and coeditor, with Brian M. Reed, of Situating El Lissitzky: Vitebsk, Berlin, Moscow (Getty, 2003). She has written and lectured widely on avant-garde composers such as John Cage and David Tudor. Most recently, she published Explodity: Sound, Image, and Word in Russian Futurist Book Art (Getty, 2016). Her exhibition, Concrete Poetry: Words and Sounds in Graphic Space, was on view at the GRI from March 28 – July 30, 2017.

Organized By: Department Colloquia

The steady increase in computational power of information processors over the past half-century has led to smart phones and the internet, changing commerce and our social lives. Up to now, the primary way that computational power has increased is that the electronic components have been made smaller and smaller, but within the next decade it is expected to reach the fundamental limits imposed by the size of atoms. However, it is possible that further huge increases in computational power could be achieved by building quantum computers, which exploit in new ways of the laws of quantum mechanics that govern the physical world. This talk will discuss the challenges involved in building a large-scale quantum computer as well as progress that we have made in developing a quantum computer using silicon quantum dots.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies

Please join us for a free screening of, "And Then They Came For Us." Donna Nagata of Pychology and Matthew Stiffler of Arab & Muslim American Studies will make opening remarks. This event is free and open to the public. Popcorn and soda will be provided.

About the Film:
Seventy-five years ago, Executive Order 9066 paved the way to the profound violation of constitutional rights that resulted in the forced incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans. Featuring George Takei and many others who were incarcerated, as well as newly rediscovered photographs of Dorothea Lange, And Then They Came for Us brings history into the present, retelling this difficult story and following Japanese American activists as they speak out against the Muslim registry and travel ban. Knowing our history is the first step to ensuring we do not repeat it. And Then They Came for Us is a cautionary and inspiring tale for these dark times. Please partner with us to share this critical story.

"It was a failure of American democracy, and yet because most Americans are not aware of that dark chapter of American history, it's about to be repeated."
- George Takei, Actor and Activist

She will lay out the 5-step proven process to make the shift and will highlight how it has been applied to companies, non-profits and governments to seize new growth and build a compelling future. You’ll learn what works, what doesn’t and how to avoid the potential pitfalls along the way. This is a must-hear talk for anyone who is serious about dramatically improving their growth and strategic position. It is a once in a career opportunity. To maximize the value of the talk, you should also read the book Blue Ocean Shift.

History Club presents: From Stage To Snapchat: Examining the History of Blackface in American Society (April 3, 2018 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/51492 51492-12121111@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 3, 2018 6:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

If you have heard about the incidents with incoming students and blackface on Snapchat and are interested in learning more about the relevance of blackface today, as well as its historical context as a practice, the History Club is hosting a talk on April 3rd at 7pm in 1014 Tisch Hall. Professor Berrey will be taking a look at how Americans interacted with blackface throughout recent history, going back to playbills in minstrel shows popular in the 19th century to more modern representations in mass media. The talk will definitely be an informative and engaging one for those wishing to understand how this depiction has continued to harm and denigrate black Americans, and why this practice is still being invoked today.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

The 2018 Weinberg Symposium will explore recent dramatic advances in AI and their implications for our developing understanding and investigation of mind and brain. Of special interest are deep learning and reinforcement learning, and the resurgence of explorations of computational architectures intended to support general intelligence. An aim of the symposium is to clarify and advance the reciprocal flow of theoretical ideas across AI and cognitive science, broadly understood to include neuroscience and psychology. This includes identifying specific computational problems shared by both artificial and human brains, and leading ideas for solutions to those problems; identifying areas of both theoretical convergence and divergence; rethinking core concepts in cognitive science such as planning, motivation, attention, and abstraction; and putting into sharp focus fundamental gaps in our present scientific understanding and engineering capacities that might be promising areas for new cross-disciplinary work.

The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

Positive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross, and are free and open to the public.

About the talk:
If you own a smartphone, you’re currently carrying as much computing power as early spaceships took to the moon. And new wearable devices promise to keep us constantly connected to the internet, anytime, anywhere. But are these amazing new technologies actually making us happier and more socially connected? In her session, Elizabeth Dunn will describe new findings from the UBC Happy Lab, showing that being constantly connected to the internet may carry hidden costs for individuals and organizations.

About Dunn:
Elizabeth Dunn is a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia. Dunn conducts experimental research examining how time, money, and technology shape human happiness. She is the co-author of Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending (Simon & Schuster) with Michael Norton. Her work has appeared in top journals, with three papers published in Science, and she has given talks at PopTech! and TEDx.

She was selected as one of the “rising stars” in academia by the Chronicle of Higher Education in 2004 and was an honoree for the 2007 Mind Gym Academic Prize for pioneering work in positive psychology. In 2010, she received a New Investigator Award from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, as well as UBC’s Robert E. Knox Master Teacher Award. Her research has been featured in hundreds of media outlets around the world, including The New York Times, The Globe and Mail, The London Times, Maclean’s, Time, and CNN. Dunn is also an avid surfer and skier.

Host:
Julia Lee, Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations

Sponsors:
The Center for Positive Organizations thanks Sanger Leadership Center, Tauber Institute for Global Operations, Samuel Zell & Robert H. Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies, and Diane (BA ’73) and Paul (MBA ‘75) Jones for their support of the 2017-18 Positive Links Speaker Series.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Helen Zell Writers' Program

We read and listen to stories not only to be informed but also as a way to enter worlds that are not like our own. Stories provide mirrors, windows, and doors into other existences, both real and imagined. A sense of the infinite possibilities inherent in fairy tales, fantasy, science fiction, comics, and graphic novels draws children, teens, and adults from all backgrounds to speculative fiction – also known as the fantastic. However, when people of color seek passageways into the fantastic, we often discover that the doors are barred. Even the very act of dreaming of worlds-that-never-were can be challenging when the known world does not provide many liberatory spaces.

The Dark Fantastic: Race and the Imagination in Youth Literature, Media, and Culture (forthcoming, New York University Press) argues that the presence of Black characters in speculative fiction creates a dilemma. The way that this dilemma is most often resolved is by enacting violence against the character, who then haunts the narrative. This is what readers of the fantastic expect, for it mirrors the spectacle of symbolic violence against dark-skinned people in our own world.

The Dark Fantastic explores the fantastic from the perspectives of four stories, four fantastic worlds, and four Black girl protagonists – Bonnie Bennett from Alloy and the CW’s The Vampire Diaries, Rue from Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games, Gwen from the BBC’s Merlin, and Angelina Johnson from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. In her chapter on The Vampire Diaries book series and television show, for example, Thomas examines the way that Bonnie is positioned vis-à-vis beauty and desirability politics, privileging her story over that of White protagonist Elena Gilbert. This critical race counterstorying perspective examines how race and the imagination bend such texts at the seams, contorting both space and time.

Through emancipated imaginations, endarkened and made whole, the literary landscape for our young people can indeed be made anew—and turned upside down.

We are excited to announce the launch of TBP Graduate Student Speaker Series: Training (for) Better Presentations organized by Tau Beta Pi for the College of Engineering, a pilot professional development event funded by the College of Engineering and the Office of Student Affairs.

Training (for) Better Presentations is aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills, so they can learn to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience. It also aims to engage a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering.

Intended as "teaching through practice" event, each session is structured to have student speakers (2-3 per session) make a timed (15-20 min) presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel (3-4 panelists). Our expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

Starting mid-February and leading up to June, we will be organizing multiple sessions for this event, and we invite you to participate. The sessions will be held on Saturday mornings (9am - 11am), and will be scheduled to occur once every 2-3 weeks. Breakfast and coffee will be provided!

If you are interested in participating as a speaker, please indicate your availability on the "Speaker sign up" form and the planning committee will follow up with you for scheduling. If you are interested in participating as an audience member, please sign up through our TBP website on the "Audience sign up" link. Note: you be prompted to create a guest profile in order to sign-up as an audience member.

We look forward to your participation!
