Black History Month's Closing Speaker - JANAYA KHAN (March 1, 2021 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82365 82365-21070618@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 1, 2021 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Multi Ethnic Student Affairs - MESA

MESA is proud to present Black History Month's Closing Speaker - JANAYA KHAN. Join us for a thrilling event where Janaya Khan will discuss “The Future within the Black Lives Matter Movement and The Intersections of being a Black, Queer, and Gender-Nonconforming Activist" This event is sponsored by The Spectrum Center and Central Student Government, and will be co-moderated by students Adrian King (they/them), PhD candidate in American Culture, and Jolyna Chiangong, who will be joined by Vice President Of Student Life Dr. Martino Harmon.

With a timely message about the transformational power of protest, Janaya Khan is a leading activist who engages their community in a profound discussion about social justice and equality. Known as ‘Future’ within the Black Lives Matter movement, Janaya is a black, queer, gender-nonconforming activist (pronouns: they, them, theirs), staunch Afrofuturist and social-justice educator who presents an enlightening point of view on police brutality and systemic racism.

“Throughout the political tumult of 2020, one of the most prominent voices to become a source of healing and hope was Janaya Future Khan, whose rapidly-growing audience across social media now numbers in the hundreds of thousands. But while the activist’s weekly Sunday Sermons on Instagram provided a necessary forum for those looking to reflect and regroup during the pandemic and the instances of police brutality that sparked a renewal of energy behind the Black Lives Matter movement, Khan’s activism extends much further back—all the way to their childhood, spent between Toronto and Florida, and their subsequent years as a competitive boxer.

Galvanized by the 2014 killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Jermaine Carby in Toronto at the hands of police officers, Khan has had a longstanding involvement in Black Lives Matter—even launching its first international chapter in Canada—and became a necessary and informed voice for those seeking direction last summer. And like many around the world, Khan found themselves dismayed and angered by the scenes that unfolded on Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol building, where riots led by Trump supporters sieged the building to disrupt the final counting of the Electoral College ballots in favor of Joe Biden’s Presidential win, resulting in five deaths.” BY LIAM HESS January 10, 2021

Israeli/Palestinian singer, songwriter, actress, artist, and content creator Mira Awad has been a forceful activist for women's rights, for equal citizenship for Palestinians living in Israel, for a two-state solution, and for environmental awareness. Her powerful advocacy for dialogue and co-existence, for peace and solidarity, has brought her considerable praise (and some criticism) across the political spectrum.

Ms. Awad competed in the 2009 Eurovision song contest alongside Israeli singer, Noa (Achinoam Nini). The duo won the NIF Human Rights for Arts and Culture award in 2010. She continues to work in collaboration with a multitude of artists, including guitarist Shay Alon, with whom she will perform this concert.

This lecture is co-sponsored by Hillel at Eastern Michigan University, EMU Campus Life, the Academic Engagement Network, the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies at the University of Michigan, the Jean and Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan, and the Gayle & Larry Weiseneck Symposium Fund.

MEMS Faculty Showcase. Early Islamic World 1: Orientalism and the Erasure of Arab Women Poets (March 12, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81553 81553-20925407@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 12, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)

Orientalism and the Erasure of Arab Women Poets: Reinscribing Gender in Medieval Adab Culture

Arabic manuscripts in world archives transmit the speeches and poetry of women from pre-Islamic times to the modern era, citing at least 400 named women. Gendered eloquence (Balāghāt al-Nisāʾ) was a widely recognized category of verbal art in adab-humanities, from the ninth century onward. Thousands of texts document a Shahrazadian (logo-centric) counter-culture resistant to ossified patriarchal authority in pre-Islamic and medieval Arabo-Islamic societies. Over the past five centuries, though, oriental studies has taken little notice of the phenomenon and modern print sources have hardly done justice to the legacy of women’s verbal art. Western scholarship has in effect muted Arab women poets for centuries, with the attendant risks of permanent extinction of an intangible world heritage. How and why did this erasure happen? This talk shifts frame between the contemporary and the premodern, between the ghosts of orientalist scholarship and the legacy of premodern Arab women demanding to be heard and remembered once again.

EIHS Lecture: Labor, Love, & Loss: Black Women's Networks of Care in the Transition from Slavery to Freedom (March 18, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79651 79651-20438369@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 18, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

This talk explores themes from a new book project that considers Black women’s reproductive care work in the face of miscarriage, infant and child loss, elder care, and sickness. Although this is a book about loss, it is also a book about survival. Professor Simmons argues that during the transition from slavery to freedom, Black mothers mobilized intergenerational and intersubjective connections with other women in their community to manage sickness, take care of themselves and one another, and mourn loss.

LaKisha Simmons is associate professor in History and Women's and Gender Studies at the University of Michigan. Her interdisciplinary research focuses on gendered experiences of racial violence and Black women and girls’ strategies for survival in the face of racism. She is the author of Crescent City Girls: The Lives of Young Black Women in Segregated New Orleans and currently at work on a collection called The Global History of Black Girlhood co-edited with Corinne Field.

Free and open to the public. This is a remote event and will take place online via Zoom.

This event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

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

Registration link: http://go.unc.edu/teachMENA

January 28: *Islam Through Art*
Christiane Gruber, University of Michigan
This webinar introduces participants to key issues and themes in Islamic art, including architectural interactions and the importance of ornament and Arabic-script calligraphy. This session also aims to dispel contemporary discourses about figural imagery, especially depictions of the Prophet Muhammad. Finally, we will discuss readings, pedagogical strategies, and online resources which can help teach Islam in a manner that aims to circumvent simplistic presuppositions and “otherizing” binaries.

February 25: *Teaching Middle East History in World History*
Allen Fromherz, Georgia State University
Relevant to high school curricula, we will explore ideas and strategies for using decisive moments in Middle East History to explore larger themes of World History including charisma, religious encounters, commerce, and geographical diversity.

March 18: *Experiential Learning about the Middle East through the Senses*
Barbara Petzen, education consultant on the Middle East and Islam
This webinar will explore and demonstrate a wide variety of sensory approaches to learning about the Middle East. We’ll look at new ways to understand the diversity of the historical and contemporary Middle East through images and film, sound, taste and smell, and tactile experiences.

April 22: *Teaching about the Middle East through Underreported Stories*
Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting
This session with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting will explore reporting on the MENA region and curricular resources that can be used to connect underreported news stories to the classroom. We will outline ways to engage students in global issues through journalism, develop media literacy, encourage critical thinking about the MENA region, and connect with a journalist for a conversation about their experience reporting from the Middle East.

May 20: *Hip Hop and Women's Voices in the Middle East and North Africa*
Angela Williams, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Through the work of rap artists from the MENA region, we will learn about the varied lived experiences of girls and women in this region. Their music and online expressions depict the challenges and pressures they face, as well as spaces for hope and a better future for women and girls.


This series offers five interactive sessions between January and May 2021, featuring resources and strategies for teaching about the Middle East relevant to both in-person and virtual teaching for Grades 6-12 and community colleges. Educators may register for any or all of the sessions. SCECHs from the Michigan Department of Education are available.

The program is a collaboration with the National Resource Center dedicated to Middle East Studies at Duke University-The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Symposium: Where Is Social Reproduction Theory Now? (March 19, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79658 79658-20438377@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 19, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

There has been an explosion in recent years of scholarship on social reproduction theory (SRT), which builds on a long tradition of critique within Marxist feminist scholarship that has focused on the labor required to produce workers and society as a whole. While it arose out of the need to explain the continued oppression of women under capitalism, the SRT framework has been extended to understanding racism and other sources of division between workers. SRT offers a perspective on the link between the oppressive logics of “race,” sexuality, ability, gender, and more, with the development and actualization of labor powers. In short, a renewed SRT provides a historical materialist theory of multiple oppressions within capitalist society. This body of scholarship, varied in its political and theoretical orientations, takes as its subject precisely the continuous and daily reproduction of capitalism as a system. Our round table discussion consists of a conversation with Tithi Bhattacharya, one of the foremost proponents of social reproduction theory, on some of the recent developments in SRT and their relevance in our current conjuncture.

Registrants will receive a link to a pre-circulated paper by Professor Bhattacharya.

Panelists:
Tithi Bhattacharya, Associate Professor, History, Purdue University
Sueann Caulfield, Associate Professor, History, University of Michigan
Emily A. Peterson, Lecturer, Women's and Gender Studies, University of Michigan
Ruby Tapia, Associate Professor; English Language and Literature, Women's and Gender Studies; University of Michigan

Women have led every major social movement in United States history. And yet women's voices are largely absent from the stories of bold activism and social change that each generation passes on to the next. Women in Student Movements will provide women activists with the opportunity to write our own histories, and map out our futures as well. Join us as a diverse panel of women, both current students and alumna, describe their experiences as student leaders and discuss how women across social groups can work together for change. Dr. Quenette Walton ('99) will moderate the panel, and a recording of the panel will be donated to the Joseph A. Labadie Collection at Michigan, one of the oldest collections of radical materials in the world.

From college students learning at home, to struggling to maintain mental wellbeing, to mother’s working remotely while attempting to serve as teachers to their children, studies have shown that the stressors caused by the pandemic have increased the gender inequality gap in a variety of ways.

In recognition of Women’s History Month, and one year since the pandemic began, there is no better time than now to discuss the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women. This live conversation will bring together U-M experts and community members for an authentic and engaging dialogue on the myriad ways the pandemic has impacted women and what can be done to address these issues.

Family Archives and Female Spaces of Intimacy in Early Modern Isfahan

In seventeenth-century Isfahan, the authorship of anthologies was a male prerogative. This talk wonders about women who have been excluded from the act of writing their own anthology to consider gendered literacy and female friendship through an anthology collected in the library of the Urdubadi family of bureaucrats and poets. The decisive role of a female family member, the Urdubadi widow, whose pilgrimage to Mecca is recorded in this anthology, divulges her love for a female companion who was forced to leave Isfahan due to rumors circulating about their friendship. How are we to interpret this inclusion? Reading this family history as an archive, we will see how anthologies document social and affective bonds with kin and with friends, acts that make the city legible for us and for themselves.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

Free & Open to the public
Registration required: https://myumi.ch/E30vd

In this virtual series, Center for World Performance Studies invites performers and scholars from diverse disciplines to reflect on how performance is being used to respond to the political, social, health and environmental crises that we face at this moment. For this session, Dr. Ramón H. Rivera-Servera will discuss his recent research in Puerto Rico, including an innovative outreach initiative to assist Puerto Rican artists in the aftermath of hurricanes Maria and Irma. Participants can learn about this research ahead of the session by visiting the Mellon Foundation blog: https://mellon.org/shared-experiences-blog/after-storm/

Ramón H. Rivera-Servera is chair of the Department of Performance Studies and the Department of Theatre in the School of Communication at Northwestern University, and was recently appointed as the next dean of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on 20th and 21st Century performance in North America and the Caribbean with special emphasis on the ways categories of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality are negotiated across national borders through migratory circuits of circulation and exchange. His work documents a wide array of performance practices ranging from theatre and concert dance to social dance, popular music, fashion, and speech.

He is author of *Performing Queer Latinidad: Dance, Sexuality, Politics* (University of Michigan Press, 2012), a study of the role performance played in the development of Latina/o queer publics in the United States from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s.

He is currently completing a book manuscript, *Reggaetón’s Queer Turn: Sexuality, Abstraction, and Contemporary Art in the Circum-Caribbean*, which pursues feminist and queer uptakes of the popular music and dance cultures of reggaetón in circum-Caribbean contemporary art to theorize the role of black aesthetics in the sexual cultural politics of the Spanish speaking Caribbean and its diaspora. He is also conducting fieldwork and archival research towards two other projects: *Exhibiting Performance: Race, Museum Cultures, and the Live Event*, which looks at the ways race has been collected and exhibited in North America and the Caribbean since the mid-1990s and *Choreographing the Latina/o Post-Modern: Puerto Rican Moves in the New York Dance Avant-Garde*, a cultural history of Puerto Rican participation in the New York City experimental dance scene since the 1980s.

If you require an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact the Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

EIHS Lecture: Evil May Day, 1517: Xenophobia, Labour, and Politics in Early Tudor London (April 15, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79653 79653-20438371@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 15, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

On the eve of May 1, 1517, later known as Evil May Day, an anti-immigrant riot broke out in London. From about nine o’clock in the evening on April 30, a crowd made up primarily of young male servants and apprentices of craftsmen ran through the streets of the city, targeting enclaves of strangers, the contemporary English term for immigrants. This riot tells us a good deal about the internal political economy of early sixteenth-century London. The riot had its genesis in an incendiary combination of labour grievance of young craft workers on the one hand and, on the other, implicit encouragement of violence from parts of the city’s merchant oligarchy. The riot was not only an expression of young London artisans’ resentment of “job-stealing immigrants” but an attempt to goad their masters and the governors of their city to be more protective of their interests.

Shannon McSheffrey is professor of history at Concordia University. Professor McSheffrey's research interests centre around law, mitigation, gender roles, civic culture, marriage, literacy, heresy, and popular religion in late medieval and early Tudor England. She has published five books exploring these issues, including Gender and Heresy: Women and Men in Lollard Communities, 1420-1530 (University of Pennsylvania Press, 1995); Marriage, Sex, and Civic Culture in Late Medieval London (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2006); and Seeking Sanctuary: Law, Mitigation, and Politics in English Courts, 1400-1550 (Oxford University Press, 2017). She is currently writing a book about the Evil May Day riot in London in 1517.

This event is free and open to the public.

This event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

How to Teach About the Middle East—and Get it Right! Islam Through Art (April 22, 2021 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80587 80587-20759743@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 22, 2021 5:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies

Registration link: http://go.unc.edu/teachMENA

January 28: *Islam Through Art*
Christiane Gruber, University of Michigan
This webinar introduces participants to key issues and themes in Islamic art, including architectural interactions and the importance of ornament and Arabic-script calligraphy. This session also aims to dispel contemporary discourses about figural imagery, especially depictions of the Prophet Muhammad. Finally, we will discuss readings, pedagogical strategies, and online resources which can help teach Islam in a manner that aims to circumvent simplistic presuppositions and “otherizing” binaries.

February 25: *Teaching Middle East History in World History*
Allen Fromherz, Georgia State University
Relevant to high school curricula, we will explore ideas and strategies for using decisive moments in Middle East History to explore larger themes of World History including charisma, religious encounters, commerce, and geographical diversity.

March 18: *Experiential Learning about the Middle East through the Senses*
Barbara Petzen, education consultant on the Middle East and Islam
This webinar will explore and demonstrate a wide variety of sensory approaches to learning about the Middle East. We’ll look at new ways to understand the diversity of the historical and contemporary Middle East through images and film, sound, taste and smell, and tactile experiences.

April 22: *Teaching about the Middle East through Underreported Stories*
Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting
This session with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting will explore reporting on the MENA region and curricular resources that can be used to connect underreported news stories to the classroom. We will outline ways to engage students in global issues through journalism, develop media literacy, encourage critical thinking about the MENA region, and connect with a journalist for a conversation about their experience reporting from the Middle East.

May 20: *Hip Hop and Women's Voices in the Middle East and North Africa*
Angela Williams, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Through the work of rap artists from the MENA region, we will learn about the varied lived experiences of girls and women in this region. Their music and online expressions depict the challenges and pressures they face, as well as spaces for hope and a better future for women and girls.


This series offers five interactive sessions between January and May 2021, featuring resources and strategies for teaching about the Middle East relevant to both in-person and virtual teaching for Grades 6-12 and community colleges. Educators may register for any or all of the sessions. SCECHs from the Michigan Department of Education are available.

The program is a collaboration with the National Resource Center dedicated to Middle East Studies at Duke University-The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Finding the Female Voice in the Ancient World (April 23, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83307 83307-21338285@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 23, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Contexts for Classics

It is hard enough to find women’s voices in the ancient world, let alone the voices of women poets. Women were often silenced in antiquity, told to be “seen and not heard”. Ancient authors were nearly always male, and the canon of ancient literature focused almost exclusively on texts by, for and about men, making it hard for women to gain entry to the literary scene and hiding them from view, turning their voices into stereotypes in male-authored texts, or even silencing them completely. So how do we go about uncovering the hidden literary voices of the women of classical antiquity? This talk uncovers a wide range of different approaches and tools we can use to find the female voice in the ancient world, some of them unconventional, crossing between research and creative practice, to explore how we might gain new insights into the forgotten literary women of antiquity.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Global and Intercultural Study

As studying abroad becomes more of a possibility for U-M students, particularly for Winter 2022, CGIS will be offering a 2-day Winter Advising event where students can learn more about major-specific programs such as programs in the environment, pre-health, and public health and interest-specific program sessions such as studying abroad in the UK and English-Taught programs in Asia to name few. The LSA Scholarship Office and the Office of Financial Aid will join us on May 20th to help answer questions you may have on funding your semester program abroad as well as walking you through the application process! First Step sessions will be offered each day of the event as well. Each info session will be interactive. Each session will offer an opportunity to interact with advisors and address questions or concerns you may have regarding study abroad. To get a general idea of participation, please RSVP below and select info sessions that you'd be interested in. We'll send you a Zoom link as we get closer to the event!

DISCLAIMER: With each passing term, a small yet increasing number of our programs seem to offer the possibility of receiving students, so CGIS proceeded with very cautious optimism that students will be able to study abroad in the coming academic year. CGIS and the University of Michigan continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) situation as it develops worldwide. Parents and other concerned parties who would like to receive this information should ask their students to share the updates with them. Students planning to participate in CGIS programs worldwide are advised to continue to closely monitor the latest developments and to adhere to any national and international public health directives issued by their host country or institution. CGIS will contact students who have opened or submitted an application to a CGIS program if and when updates are available.

How to Teach About the Middle East—and Get it Right! Islam Through Art (May 20, 2021 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80587 80587-20759745@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, May 20, 2021 5:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies

Registration link: http://go.unc.edu/teachMENA

January 28: *Islam Through Art*
Christiane Gruber, University of Michigan
This webinar introduces participants to key issues and themes in Islamic art, including architectural interactions and the importance of ornament and Arabic-script calligraphy. This session also aims to dispel contemporary discourses about figural imagery, especially depictions of the Prophet Muhammad. Finally, we will discuss readings, pedagogical strategies, and online resources which can help teach Islam in a manner that aims to circumvent simplistic presuppositions and “otherizing” binaries.

February 25: *Teaching Middle East History in World History*
Allen Fromherz, Georgia State University
Relevant to high school curricula, we will explore ideas and strategies for using decisive moments in Middle East History to explore larger themes of World History including charisma, religious encounters, commerce, and geographical diversity.

March 18: *Experiential Learning about the Middle East through the Senses*
Barbara Petzen, education consultant on the Middle East and Islam
This webinar will explore and demonstrate a wide variety of sensory approaches to learning about the Middle East. We’ll look at new ways to understand the diversity of the historical and contemporary Middle East through images and film, sound, taste and smell, and tactile experiences.

April 22: *Teaching about the Middle East through Underreported Stories*
Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting
This session with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting will explore reporting on the MENA region and curricular resources that can be used to connect underreported news stories to the classroom. We will outline ways to engage students in global issues through journalism, develop media literacy, encourage critical thinking about the MENA region, and connect with a journalist for a conversation about their experience reporting from the Middle East.

May 20: *Hip Hop and Women's Voices in the Middle East and North Africa*
Angela Williams, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Through the work of rap artists from the MENA region, we will learn about the varied lived experiences of girls and women in this region. Their music and online expressions depict the challenges and pressures they face, as well as spaces for hope and a better future for women and girls.


This series offers five interactive sessions between January and May 2021, featuring resources and strategies for teaching about the Middle East relevant to both in-person and virtual teaching for Grades 6-12 and community colleges. Educators may register for any or all of the sessions. SCECHs from the Michigan Department of Education are available.

The program is a collaboration with the National Resource Center dedicated to Middle East Studies at Duke University-The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In this presentation, I will focus on racial identity-context congruence, that is, the extent that racially minoritized students' constructions around the importance and meaning of their race can be aligned or misaligned with their experienced academic environments. I will share studies linking students' identity-based experiences (interpersonal and climate experiences in academic and social contexts) that are stigmatizing or affirming to outcomes related to their academic identities, achievement, and persistence. This work also highlights how many racially minoritized and underrepresented students draw on their racial and cultural identities in ways that promote their motivation and persistence, especially in settings where they are underrepresented and experience marginalization based on their multiple social identities (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, among other identities). I will discuss implications for scholarly approaches to studying positive development among racially minoritized students; as well as the need to shift away from institutional approaches focused only on supporting minoritized students in navigating non-congruous environments (individual student resilience) toward approaches focused on creating/recreating settings that affirm and align with minoritized students' identities and that leverage students' identity strengths to support them as whole persons (institutional resilience).

Germine Awad's scholarship is characterized by three interrelated areas of inquiry: prejudice and discrimination, identity and acculturation, and more recently, body image among women of color. She has also written in the area of multicultural research methodology. The majority of her research is guided by the questions “What factors lead to discrimination against ethnic minorities?” and “What impacts perceptions of experienced discrimination?” The two populations that she has primarily focused on are Arab/Middle Eastern Americans and African Americans. Although overt discrimination towards ethnic minorities has decreased over the years, the practice of more covert, subtle forms of prejudice remains. The events of September 11, 2001, however, reintroduced more explicit forms of prejudice towards Arab/Middle Eastern Americans, and those perceived to be Muslim, complicating the dialogue on discrimination in the United States. Awad is concerned with how prejudicial attitudes and ideology impact attitudes towards ethnic minorities generally and within specific domains such as the workplace and higher education. In addition, she examines how racial/ethnic identity and acculturation impact ethnic minorities’ perception of discrimination. Most recently, she has expanded her identity and acculturation research to the study of body image concerns among women of color.

Detroit Hustles Harder: The(Re) Production of Systemic Racism through Organizational Practice (October 8, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86994 86994-21638107@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 8, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Our relational ethnography of a resource-constrained entrepreneurial ecosystem with changing racial demographics expands the study of systemic racism that emerges in and through organizations. Drawing on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality (CRT/I) frameworks, we critically interrogate the relational configuration between entrepreneurial support organizations (ESOs) and Black women entrepreneurs in Detroit, MI to understand how practices, or everyday activities that constitute organizational life, reinforce racial, gender, and class hierarchies. We implemented a site-based, relational ontology to analyze our qualitative interviews (n = 65) and field observations, which deepened the meaning and enactment of systemic racism in this particular ‘site’. Our data revealed ESOs use of discursive, embodied, and material practices to inform the types and extent of support offered to entrepreneurs in Detroit. Assemblages of these practices maintained or disrupted systemic racism through three key mechanisms: control over resources, relational patterns between residents, and the entrenched power dynamics in the city. Accordingly, we build theoretical knowledge of practices that may inadvertently reproduce racial inequality through adopting critical perspectives of organizations. We provide recommendations for organizations and other social institutions seeking to dismantle systemic racism based on the insights that emerged in our data.

Translocas: The Politics of Puerto Rican Drag and Trans Performance (October 13, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84840 84840-21625173@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location

Discussants:
- David Caron, Professor, French and Women's and Gender Studies, U-M
- Holly Hughes, Professor, Art & Design, Theater and Drama, and Women's and Gender Studies, U-M

Translocas: The Politics of Puerto Rican Drag and Trans Performance, written by Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes and published in 2021 by the University of Michigan Press, focuses on drag and transgender performance and activism in Puerto Rico and its diaspora. Arguing for its political potential, La Fountain-Stokes explores the social and cultural disruptions caused by Latin American and Latinx “locas” (effeminate men, drag queens, transgender performers, and unruly women) and the various forms of violence to which queer individuals in Puerto Rico and the U.S. are subjected. This interdisciplinary, auto-ethnographic, queer-of-color performance studies book explores the lives and work of contemporary performers and activists, television programs, films, and literary works. La Fountain-Stokes, a drag performer himself, demonstrates how each destabilizes (and sometimes reifies) dominant notions of gender and sexuality through drag and their embodied transgender expression. These performances provide a means to explore and critique issues of race, class, poverty, national identity, and migratory displacement while they posit a relationship between audiences and performers that has a ritual-like, communal dimension. The author also pays careful attention to transgender experience, highlighting how trans activists and performers mold their bodies, promote social change, and create community in a context that oscillates between glamour and abjection.

This event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works, New Questions series, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.

Remember the days long ago when everyone hung their laundry out on the line to dry -- when folks went "online" without the internet? Instructor Anne Lawrence’s slide presentation will show why she (and so many others) love their clotheslines, will explain the lure of the line, and the lore that grew up around it.

There will be washday history, along with sociological issues, the role of feminism, industrialization, culture, and ecology involved. You may consider the clothesline in ways never before appreciated! The sharing of stories and memories will be encouraged. Let's hang out together -- Anne won't leave you hanging.

Anne has been a Clothesline Historian and Hobbyist for the past 40 years, collecting anything she can find that relates to laundry blowing in the wind on clotheslines, and since retiring, sharing her passion with those who remember.

Surfacing in the mid-twentieth century, yet shrouded in social stigma, transgender medicine is now a rapidly growing medical field. In Trans Medicine (NYU Press, 2021), stef shuster makes an important intervention in how we understand the development of this field and how it is being used to “treat” gender identity today.

Drawing on interviews with medical providers as well as ethnographic and archival research, shuster examines how health professionals approach patients who seek gender-affirming care. From genital reconstructions to hormone injections, the practice of trans medicine charts new medical ground, compelling medical professionals to plan treatments without widescale clinical trials to back them up. Relying on cultural norms and gut instincts to inform their treatment plans, shuster shows how medical providers’ lack of clinical experience and scientific research undermines their ability to interact with patients, craft treatment plans, and make medical decisions. This situation defies how providers are trained to work with patients and creates uncertainty. As providers navigate the developing knowledge surrounding the medical care of trans folk, Trans Medicine offers a rare opportunity to understand how providers make decisions while facing challenges to their expertise and, in the process, have acquired authority not only over clinical outcomes, but over gender itself.

stef m. shuster is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Michigan State University. Their work on transgender healthcare has appeared in Gender & Society, Journal of Health and Social Behavior, and Social Science & Medicine.

Michigan Population Studies Center Brown Bag seminars presents:

Diana Greene Foster will discuss the context and findings of The Turnaway Study. The Turnaway Study answers the question, Does abortion hurt women? and the converse, What are the harms when women are unable to get a wanted abortion? Dr. Foster will review the challenges of studying abortion and what has happened in the absence of rigorous data. She will describe the study design of the Turnaway Study and present its major findings about women’s mental health, physical health and the wellbeing of their children. She will describe the reasons people give for seeking to end an unwanted pregnancy and what that tells us about whether one can trust women’s decision-making abilities around pregnancy.

Diana Greene Foster, PhD, is a demographer who uses quantitative models and analyses to evaluate the effectiveness of family planning policies and the effect of unwanted pregnancy on women’s lives. She is a professor at the University of California, San Francisco and Director of Research at the UCSF ANSIRH Program. She led the Turnaway Study, a nationwide longitudinal prospective study of the health and well-being of women who seek abortion including both women who do and do not receive the abortion in the United States. She is currently collaborating with scientists on an NIH-funded Turnaway Study in Nepal. Dr. Foster received her undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley, her MA and PhD in Demography and Public Policy from Princeton University. She is the author of the 2020 book, The Turnaway Study: Ten Years, a Thousand Women and the Consequences of Having – or Being Denied – an Abortion. She is the recipient of the 2021 Harriet B. Presser Award for the study of gender and demography from the Population Association of America.

The first round of attempts to diversify the academy, what we call Diversity 1.0, largely entailed attempting to remediate underrepresented students, through program support and other efforts, so that they could thrive within the academy. By and large, these efforts did not consider the biases embedded within institutions of higher education and the institutional changes that need to happen in order for minoritized students to feel they belong and can thrive within these institutional spaces. That deeper, institutional work is what we call Diversity 2.0 -- the process of evaluating and addressing the structural factors that make departments and campuses feel unwelcoming and unsupportive to minoritized students. To address this challenge, we suggest a holistic approach, one that includes a focus on admissions, belonging, climate, and data equity, as the best approach for creating the institutional transformations needed to make departments and campuses truly inclusive.

CREES Noon Lecture. The Image is the Frame: Revolution, Aesthetics, and Gender in 21st Century Ukraine (November 10, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86588 86588-21635106@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 10, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

This lecture draws upon over a decade of research toward the book, *Superfluous Women: Feminism, Art, and Revolution in Twenty-First Century Ukraine* (University of Toronto Press, 2020). Using firsthand interviews, archival documents, historical context, and theoretical frameworks, the author tells the unique story of a generation of artists, feminists, and queer activists who emerged after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but whose ideas and actions were forged in the tumultuous decade between the two revolutions of the 2000s. Gender and sexuality are at the forefront of these activists’ experimentations with the body and public space, circulated online, but locally rooted in 18th - 20th century Ukrainian, Polish, Russian, and Soviet aesthetics. Mapping out several key historical changes in independent Ukraine, Zychowicz identifies discursive links across eras in order to investigate the deeper shifts driving social relations, politics, and international human rights discourse today. This lecture will present in particular how key ideological shifts in the discourse on gender and class, including “the woman question” underpin both social divisions and points of cohesion in organizing around feminism. Case studies include the women's and pride marches in Kyiv beginning from 2010. The first marches had only a few dozen participants, were mostly local, and focused on equality and labor rights; the two marches now draw over 3,000 international participants annually.

Dr. Jessica Zychowicz is the director of the Fulbright Program in Ukraine and head of the Kyiv office of the Institute of International Education. In 2017-18 she was a U.S. Fulbright Scholar in area studies & gender studies to Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Dr. Zychowicz has held numerous research positions, including at the University of Toronto Munk School of Global Affairs (2015-16), at the University of Alberta (2018-21), and at Uppsala University in Sweden (2019). Dr. Zychowicz earned her doctorate at the University of Michigan in Slavic languages and literatures with a certificate from CREES. She also holds a B.A. from U.C. Berkeley. Over the past three years, Jessica has given over 35 talks and interviews in 10 countries, written over 15 articles, and published her monograph: *Superfluous Women: Art, Feminism, and Revolution in Twenty-First Century Ukraine* (U-Toronto Press 2020), which will soon also be published in 2022 in both Ukrainian at Krytyka Press, and in Polish at Muzeum Sztuki Nowoczesnej. She is a member of several professional associations in global higher education, including an associate member of the Shevchenko Scientific Society of America, and an advisory board member of H-Net-Ukraine at H-Net: Humanities and Social Sciences Online. Dr. Zychowicz has also worked in U.S. government at Department of Homeland Security in Washington, D.C. as a training specialist for mid-career professionals in digital infrastructure, and she served a full term as a Peace Corps Volunteer to Ukraine from 2005-07.

Organizations are continuing to direct efforts to recruit women and underrepresented minority members (URM; Black/African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, or Hispanic/Latinx) to increase workforce diversity. Yet, the underrepresentation of women and URM members persists across many industries and organizations, rendering the need to strengthen the body of research that looks to find ways organizations can increase recruitment and selection of minority employees. My colleagues and I address this need by focusing on diversity recruitment within an academic setting, a context where hiring and promoting women and URM members continues to be a challenge. In the first two studies, we utilized and extend homophily theory to explain how and why the demographic composition of the recruitment team can contribute to attracting more women and URM candidates. In the third study, we examined how and why diversity recruitment strategies can have negative effects for URM applicants.

Padnos Public Engagement on Jewish Learning Event: “When Patronage was ‘Matronage’: How Jewish Women’s Money Supported the Early Jesus Movement” (November 17, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88653 88653-21656497@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 17, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Judaic Studies

The Stuart and Barbara Padnos Foundation has provided a gift to the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies to establish the Padnos Engagement on Jewish Learning fund. The initiative, which commenced last year, will facilitate annual public educational activities in Jewish Studies throughout the State of Michigan with a focus on the western part of the state.

The Padnos Public Engagement on Jewish Learning Event, to take place on November 17 at 7 pm, will feature Dr. Shayna Sheinfeld, Frankel Institute Fellow, University of Michigan, and Honorary Research Fellow, Sheffield Institute for Interdisciplinary Biblical Studies (SIIBS). Dr. Sheinfeld will present a lecture called “When Patronage was ‘Matronage’: How Jewish Women’s Money Supported the Early Jesus Movement” at the Loosemore Auditorium at the Richard M. Devos Center on Grand Valley State University's Campus. The event will also be virtually simulcast. Immediately following the lecture at approximately 8:30 there will be a light reception in the adjacent Lubbers Exhibition Hall.

Dr. Sheinfeld prefaces her discussion: "From the beginning of his ministry, women were followers of Jesus. While his followers came from every strata of life, women were essential for the financial and social support that this early Jewish movement saw. The Gospel of Mark mentions Mary Magdalene and Salome who provided for Jesus; Luke talks about Martha who hosts Jesus and his disciples in her home; in Acts, Lydia welcomes the apostle Paul and his cohort to her home where they stay while in Thyatira. These women were not unusual, however, in their active financial and social support of causes they were committed to. This talk will explore and contextualize these women among other Jewish women as possessors of capital and as active actors in the social, political, and religious world in which they lived."

Freedom at Work (December 3, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88822 88822-21658556@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 3, 2021 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

The past year has been by marked the convergence of public health, racial justice, economic and democratic crises. To meet the moment, leaders have sought to heighten aspirations toward racial representation, equity and inclusion across industries. Bold proclamations in support of Black lives, and ambitious platforms to invest in Black livelihoods, have been backed by billions of dollars and coalitions of hundreds of leaders across sectors. As institutions begin to implement these diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, what will they establish as standards for success and indicators of progress? How will organizational leaders and their stakeholders assess whether the racial climate has transformed to reflect greater diversity, inclusion, equity, and justice? During this seminar, I will introduce a framework for pursuing Freedom at Work, grounded in the juxtaposition between the democratic ideals of liberty and justice, and the sociohistorical oppression of enslaved, African-descended Americans and other minoritized racial groups. I invite scholars and practitioners to analyze relative access to various freedoms at work (i.e., expression, actualization, deviation, transformation, reformation), consider how inequity undermines these freedoms, and examine how freedom fighters from racially diverse and occupationally diverse backgrounds can help leaders to embody the aspirations and ideals they hold for diversity, inclusion, equity and justice. This discussion will also explore means for placing guardrails on practices that undermine rather than uphold the liberties of communities that were long-denied access to educational opportunity, career mobility and economic advancement. In this vein, I take up the question of how personal leadership commitments and accountability practices might catalyze change, sustain momentum and advance the equal exercise of freedom at work for members of minoritized racial/ethnic identity groups.

Anti-Racism Is Never Not Intersectional (December 9, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88998 88998-21659587@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 9, 2021 2:00pm

The racial reckoning during 2020 sparked renewed energy to address pervasive structural racism and the resulting disparate inequities and injustices impacting minoritized communities and communities of color in the US. Institutions of higher education across the nation have expressed commitments to address racism in their organizations. Similarly, many institutions across the country have sought to focus new efforts to end harassment based on sex, sexuality, and gender, yet these efforts have often operated separately from the fight to address systemic racism.

At the College of Literature, Science & the Arts (LSA) at the University of Michigan, working groups have produced both an LSA Task Force on Anti-Racism and Racial Equality report and a Preventing Sexual Harassment report in recent months. Additionally, the university commissioned reports on high-profile cases of sexual misconduct (Philbert and Anderson) and created campus initiatives in response to national conversations around anti-racism.

This expert panel will help us to understand how systems of racism and sexism support and maintain each other, discuss recent efforts to grapple with these issues at Michigan, frame them within a broader theoretical and political context and then provide suggestions on how to move from intention to action and how to enact structural change that is transformational and sustainable.

Cosponsored by: The Institute for Research on Women and Gender, the Initiative on Gender Based Violence and Sexual Harassment at IRWG, the Women’s & Gender Studies Department, and the National Center for Institutional Diversity’s Anti-Racism Collaborative

Black Women in Sports Leadership: Navigating Workplace Blackness (December 10, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89570 89570-21664219@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 10, 2021 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business

Identity is a critical attribute of effective leadership. Moreover, interactions in the workplace (be they formal or informal) shape employees’ identities, as they reveal the extent to which identities are accepted or contested (Sanchez-Hucles & Davis, 2010). Sport organizational cultures, aptly characterized as inequality regimes (Acker, 2006) established at the axes of race and gender (and other ascriptions), create habitus (Bourdieu, 1984) of inclusion and exclusion that uniquely impact the identity and the leadership opportunities and experiences of Black women employed therein. The climate of many sport organizational cultures often discourages Black women from ‘bringing’ their authentic Blackness into the workplace, requiring them to engage in a number social-psychological strategies to insulate and protect the essence of their ‘self’ at work. This presentation is an excerpt of a larger project on Black women in sport leadership (Simpkins & Armstrong, In Progress). It will discuss race as aesthetic labor (Williams & Connell, 2010), and it will illustrate the manner in which Black women sport leaders navigate their Blackness in the workplace as: (a) personal agency, and (b) embodied racial identity. It will conclude by discussing the need for inclusive organizational cultures and workplaces free of anti-Black racism where Black women may thrive in the fullness of their Blackness as leaders.

Challenging Shakespeare (January 18, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90045 90045-21667641@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 18, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

In recent years, a growing faction of scholars and theater practitioners have argued that some of Shakespeare's plays should no longer be performed because of their potential to do harm. In this study group, we'll examine four of Shakespeare's most "challenging" plays alongside adaptations that might challenge how we interpret them.
This group will meet Tuesdays for 8 weeks beginning January 18, reading a play or adaptation each week for discussion during class. (We'll discuss Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" our first week, if participants want to get a head start!)
Instructor Rebecca (Becky) Hixon is a PhD student in English at UM where she studies Shakespeare, adaptation, and gender and sexuality studies.
Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

The Clements Bookworm: "Vanguard" Author Conversation with Martha S. Jones (January 21, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90355 90355-21670449@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 21, 2022 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

In the standard story, the suffrage crusade began in Seneca Falls in 1848 and ended with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. But this overwhelmingly white women's movement did not win the vote for most black women. Securing their rights required a movement of their own. Historian Martha S. Jones’ 2020 book “Vanguard” shows how African American women defied both racism and sexism to fight for the ballot, and wielded political power to secure the equality and dignity of all persons. From the earliest days of the republic to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and beyond, black women—Maria Stewart, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Fannie Lou Hamer, and more—were the vanguard of women's rights, calling on America to realize its best ideals.

Readings will be discussed by the whole group, followed by small group discussions of writing. Possible themes include overcoming challenges; relationship with food; immigrant experiences.
Beth Spencer is a retired geriatric social worker with 25 years of university teaching experience and several years of leading OLLI classes. This study group will meet Friday January 21, February 18, March 18 and April 22.

"Cassandra Speaks: When Women are the Storytellers, the Human Story Changes," by Elizabeth Lesser: A Book Study (January 24, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90067 90067-21667698@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 24, 2022 10:00am
Location: 1027 E. Huron Building
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Join us for a lively discussion of the book "Cassandra Speaks: When Women Tell the Stories, the Human Story Changes" by Elizabeth Lesser. Part one explores the myths and stories that are in the DNA of our culture. Part two looks at women and power and redefines what it means to be courageous, daring, and strong. And part three offers "A Toolbox for Inner Strength."
Written in a fun and delightful way, Lesser points out many truths about how out of balance the United States is, and also believes in humanity's potential to rise to the challenges of our times. Women must be a big part of this. Instructors Bernadette Beach and Sigrid Hermon will meet Mondays beginning January 24 through February 21.
Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.
