Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/list/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. Strategies to Empower Women to Achieve Academic Success (June 7, 2017 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/38721 38721-7352063@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, June 7, 2017 8:30am
Location: Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute

Comparable numbers of women and men train in medical fields but fewer women achieve the rank of professor. Women also receive lower salaries and grant funding compared to male colleagues in academic medicine. Why do these inequalities exist and how can women thrive and succeed in academia and avoid the leaky pipelines?

Organized and sponsored by the A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute, the goal of this event is to examine the gender gaps that affect instructional track faculty and determine how women and leaders within the university can work together to overcome them.

Dr. Reshma Jagsi, a radiation oncologist and expert on gender-based issues that impact the careers of women in academic medicine, and Janet Bickel, a nationally recognized expert in faculty, career, and leadership development, will deliver keynote talks, followed by a panel of distinguished senior faculty discussing related issues such as negotiation and promotion strategies, salary equity, work/life balance, networking, and strategies for success.

Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: CEW+

The Hummingbird Global Writers’ Circle is an international reading series started by Dr. Debotri Dhar, CEW Visiting Scholar (2015-17) and Lecturer in Women’s Studies at the University of Michigan. The aim of this literary initiative is to bring writers and communities together in different parts of the world to foster a love of books, to discuss the craft of writing, and to promote creative dialogue and global understanding in small ways. The name was inspired by the tiny hummingbird which builds its home with just a few drops of nectar, a root here, a leaf there, and a little bit of sky.

The Circle's themed readings by established and emerging writers are free and open to the community. The theme for the first event of the Circle is feminism/ gender, to be held on Monday August 21 (3-5 pm) at the Institute for Research on Women and Gender, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

The writer-speakers for this session are Linda Gregerson, Laura Hulthen Thomas, Mike Ferro and Debotri Dhar (writer bios below), who will read from their poetry and fiction, followed by conversation /Q&A.

Light refreshments will be served. All members of the community are welcome to attend, however, RSVP is required. If you wish to hear our speakers read from their work, share tips, and engage in conversation, please RSVP to debotri@umich.edu.

Her multimedia work chronicles the experiences of women working in trade and union positions and how they navigate sexism and discrimination in male-dominated workplaces. Featured in her virtual exhibit will include a 6 minute video of Stella, a life-sized composite figure of women working on a ladder. Her (Stella) work uniform is decorated by actual statements from women's harassment while on the job site. Susan's virtual exhibit will fully launch April 8, 2018 during the 40th anniversary of the federal affirmative action guidelines that opened construction jobs to women.

In addition to her work On Equal Terms, Susan has published poetry including Stanley's Girl and the 20th anniversary edition of We'll Call You If We Need You: Experiences of Women Working Construction (published through Cornell University Press).

DISC Lecture. Political Shari‘a, Women’s Bodies and the Politics of Love in Razinat T. Mohamed’s Novel "Habiba (Beloved)." (September 13, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/42227 42227-9585111@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 13, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

By 2002, Islamic law–Shari‘a–had been introduced in several northern Nigerian states. This development took place in the context of democratization and opening up of the political space after a prolonged period of military dictatorship. Claiming to establish a new moral order, these sharia-cratic states imposed new and sometimes draconian penalties against some “sexual offenses.” In the main, these alleged offenses targeted women and other gender minorities. This state of affairs triggered strong reactions from Nigerian women and human rights activists as well as from some non-governmental organizations. Included in this momentum of activism were Nigerian women writers and more particularly Muslim women writers from states that adopted Shari‘a, using both the Soyyaya (love story) genre in Hausa language and English novels to convey their messages of protest. The primary aim of this essay, then, is to explore this literary response to the moral order imposed by sharia-cracy through an examination of Razinat T. Mohamed’s novel, "Habiba (Beloved)" (2013).

Ousseina D. Alidou is professor in the Department of African, Middle Eastern, and South Asian Languages and Literatures and the Graduate Program in Comparative Literature. She is a theoretical linguist whose research focuses mainly on the study of women’s orality and literacy practices in African Muslim societies; African Muslim women’s Agency and gender justice; African women’s literatures; Gendered discourses of identity; and the politics of cultural production in African Muslim societies.

Sponsored by the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC) with support from the African Studies Center, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, Islamic Studies Program, and Women's Studies Department.

DISC Lecture. Being Muslims: A Cultural History of Women of Color in American Islam (September 19, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/42228 42228-9585112@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 19, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

Sylvia Chan-Malik offers a previously untold story of Islam in the United States that foregrounds the voices, experiences, and images of women of color in the United States from the early twentieth century to the present. Until the late 1960s, the majority of Muslim women in the U.S.—as well as almost all U.S. Muslim women who appeared in the American press or popular culture, were African American. Thus, she argues that lives and labors of African American Muslim women have—and continue to—forcefully shaped the meanings and presence of American Islam, and are critical to approaching issues confronting Muslim women in the contemporary U.S. Focusing on the experiences of African American women in the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam in 1920s Chicago, Chan-Malikexplores how U.S. Muslim women’s identities have been consistently forged against commonsense notions of racial, gendered, and religious belonging and citizenship, and argues that desires for gender and racial justice deeply inform U.S. women’s engagements with Islam.

Sylvia Chan-Malik studies the intersections of race, gender, and religion in the United States, with a particular interest in how these categories intersect in contemporary struggles for social justice. She teaches courses on race and ethnicity in the United States, Islam in/and America, social justice movements, feminist methodologies, multiethnic literature and culture in the U.S., and 20-21st century U.S. history. She is also on the faculty of the Women’s and Gender Studies department. Chan-Malik holds a PhD in Ethnic Studies from the University of California, Berkeley, an MFA in Creative Writing from Mills College, and a BA in English and Ethnic Studies from the University of California, Berkeley.

Sponsored by the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC) with support from Arab and Muslim American Studies, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, Islamic Studies Program, Islamophobia Working Group, Women's Studies Department

The Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of Genetics and Newborn Screening (September 25, 2017 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/43249 43249-9748036@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 25, 2017 6:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Advances in prenatal screening and genetic manipulation have the potential to all but eliminate birth defects and genetic disorders. For example, prenatal genetic testing in Iceland has almost completely erased incidents of down’s syndrome in newborns. This has led to growing concerns over creating designer babies, hyperbole about the potential for a new era of eugenics, and broader questions about whether science is outstripping societal or ethical norms in regards to human genetic diversity.

Join Joselin Linder, author of “The Family Gene”, and Jodyn Platt, assistant professor in the U-M Medical School in a panel discussion about the ethical, legal, and social implications of genetics and newborn screening. The conversation will be moderated by Kayte Spector-Bagdady, assistant professor in the U-M Medical School and chief of the research ethics service in the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine.

The Shock of the Old: Archives After the Digital Turn (September 26, 2017 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/42131 42131-9560490@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 26, 2017 12:30pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

There can be little doubt that the democratizing impetus of the digital revolution has transformed the practices and publics of our scholarly work, perhaps no more so than in the shifting terrain of archival recovery. Innovations in digital media from portable high quality scanners to smartphones that can produce precision digital recordings have made it easier for scholars to collect, organize and share primary sources from their research in formats that disrupt top-down models of knowledge production. Indeed, “renegade” archives are popping up all over, challenging the control of traditional institutions over the valuation, curation, and access to primary sources. In this presentation, I will discuss how a critical practice of digital scholarship can embrace this moment of disruption to re-imagine knowledge-making as a collaborative effort; one that produces knowledge not only for scholarly communities but also for (and with) a broader public that until now has only rarely come into contact with our scholarly work. How does such collaborative knowledge making demand a shift, both conceptual and practical, in the ecosystem of our scholarship, from the question of what kind of scholarly products we produce (books, articles, exhibitions, collections) to the question of how these products are received (Who are our audiences, where does our work land, whom does it serve?). What role might the university play in either supporting or ultimately re-incorporating the liberatory impulses of these disruptive digital practices?

Maria Cotera, U-M associate professor of American Culture and Women’s Studies, discusses how the critical practice of digital scholarship can re-imagine knowledge-making as a collaborative effort; one that produces knowledge not only for scholarly communities but also for (and with) a broader public that until now has only rarely come into contact with our scholarly work.

Maria Cotera is a scholar of feminist of color genealogies who holds a joint appointment in the Departments of American Culture and Women’s Studies at the University of Michigan. She was the 2014-15 Helmut F. Stern Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities.

Non/Human Materials Before Modernity (October 2, 2017 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/41784 41784-9472911@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 2, 2017 9:00am
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

Non/Human Materials Before Modernity considers the materiality and makings of the non/human body. Through a series of short papers, responses from colleagues, and larger discussion, the symposium will provide a forum for thinking cross-disciplinarily and across traditional lines of periodization. The symposium will address how different premodern cultures sought to understand the makings of species, kinds, and other divisions between beings and/or things. By historicizing the materialization of non/human bodies, documenting the many and various strategies by which they have emerged and been constituted, and tracing the broader cultural impacts of their emergence and constitution, these panels will challenge the U-M community to re-imagine the materials and effects of non/humanity.

Featuring photographs by accomplished filmmaker and writer Nancy De Los Santos, "Chicano Fotos" offers a striking depiction of struggles for social justice among Mexican Americans in the 1970s. The exhibit, which makes its way to Lane Hall from Wayne State University's Walter P. Reuther Library, includes rare images of scenes from Chicana/o history, such as the United Farm Workers of America organizing activities in Chicago, protests against police brutality and for farm worker rights in Texas, and the first global conference on women, the International Women’s Year Conference, in Mexico City.

This reception will celebrate "Chicana Fotos" with the artist herself, Nancy De Los Santos, who has dedicated her life and career to rewriting and redefining images of Latina/os in mainstream media. All members of the community interested in viewing and discussing the exhibit are welcome to attend.

This exhibit and reception are presented with support of the Department of Women's Studies and the Latina/o Studies Program.

CSAS Lecture Series | ‘Marriage’, ‘Trafficking’ and the Transnational Family: Moral and Legal Regulation of Nineteenth Century Women’s Mobility in the Western Indian Ocean (October 13, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/41928 41928-9495450@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 13, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

This paper examines the trans-oceanic migration of women between the Bombay Presidency, Persian Gulf and East Africa during the course of the nineteenth century. While their movement was subsumed by the colonial state under the overall rubric of ‘slave trafficking’, I argue that the category of ‘trafficking’—then as now—glossed over a number of trajectories for women’s mobility, not all coercive or limiting. The larger project that this paper is a part of looks at the legal and social category of ‘marriage’ as a regulatory regime that continues to have repercussions for citizenship and mobility across borders in the region. In contemporary times, women cross borders— notably from Sindh and Bengal—to marry in Kutch, now a district in the western Indian state of Gujarat that shares a border with Pakistan’s Sindh province. These marriages can be expressions of aspirational mobility, or a creative use of borders to negotiate citizenship rights in the aftermaths of partitioned territories. While some of these marriages are recognized legally and socially, others are designated as ‘trafficking.’ The paper asks: when is women’s mobility across borders sanctioned as ‘marriage’ and when is it criminalized as ‘trafficking’? What categories are used by the state and popular discourse in their evaluation of licit and illicit sexuality? How have these changed over time in a single region? Central to the nineteenth century state’s understanding of marriage and trafficking was their understanding of the legally free and un-free person. While slaves were legally seen as un-free, the state took it upon itself to liberate them, thereby criminalizing those who purchased, sold or otherwise transported them within British jurisdictions. On the other hand, this paper will argue that women and their presumed ‘traffickers’ took recourse to multiple legal discourses in circulation across the Indian Ocean region. These proposed a range of ways in which those designated as ‘trafficked’ could move along the continuum of bondage and freedom. Judgements and legal opinions from shari‘a courts in locations as diverse as Yemen, Muscat and Bombay were invoked to present alternatives to the marriage-or-trafficking paradigm of the state. In the debates over slavery and its abolition, the colonial state of the mid- to late nineteenth century, in its jurisdictions over western India, the Persian Gulf and East Africa, encountered legal and social elaborations of the family, marriage and co-habitation that push us to interrogate these anthropological categories in the present. Finally, the richly textured testimonies of these mobile women, add a refreshingly gendered dimension to existing work on Indian Ocean migration.

Farhana Ibrahim is Associate Professor of Sociology and Social Anthropology at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. Her research interests include the study of borders, migration and ethnographic perspectives on the state. Her book, Settlers, Saints, and Sovereigns: An Ethnography of State Formation in Western India (Routledge 2009) was an ethnographic study of mobility and place making by Muslim pastoralists along the Kutch-Sindh border in the light of resurgent Hindu nationalist discourses in Gujarat in the early 2000s. Her current book project looks at issues of gender, citizenship, surveillance and security in cross border migration in Kutch.

Women and Aging through Literature and Reflective Writing (October 19, 2017 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/42401 42401-9601897@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 19, 2017 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This study group uses essays, poems and memoir excerpts about aging written by women as prompts for reflective writing.

Following a discussion, members write during class and voluntarily share their writing with the group. Sample prompts might include: write about a fear you have about growing older; describe a strength or positive attribute that has emerged in you as you’ve grown older. This is not a creative writing class, but an opportunity to reflect more deeply about what aging means to us as women.

Instructor Beth Spencer is a geriatric social worker, avid reader and writer with decades of teaching experience and will lead this study group for those 50 and above for two hours on Thursdays from October 19 through November 16.

Modernism and the Little Glass Dress (October 19, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/45527 45527-10217630@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 19, 2017 4:00pm

Preceding the Little Black Dress was another aesthetic, less noticeable if only by virtue of its material properties: The Little Glass Dress. This aesthetic exploited the female body’s relation to its environment in terms that were literally transparent: beginning with aisthesis as an opportunity for architectural display, but extending its relationship to encasement in multiple forms. This talk contends that the Little Glass Dress begins with the evolution of the department store, glimpsed through Zola’s 1883 novel The Ladies’ Paradise, and continues through to incarnations ranging from the late 19th century Manet painting A Bar at the Folies-Bergère. It then jumps into the 20th century through the looking glass of Coco Chanel’s mirrored atelier staircase, and runs alongside the avant-garde Italian couturière Elsa Schiaparelli and some later 20th and 21st century contemporary artists and couturiers. In all, we see what feminist scholars have tracked as “the opacity of femininity” take the shape of an increasingly less protean mode: one that cuts increasingly closer if not to the bone, then to that scrim where world stops and skin begins.

Jessica Burstein joins us for a conversation about visual culture and interdisciplinary methodologies with Xiaobing Tang (Asian Languages and Cultures), Andrea Zemgulys (English), Megan Berkobien (Comparative Literature), Grant Mandarino (Art History), and Amanda Greene (English)


Jessica Burstein is an Associate Professor of English at the University of Washington who works on modernism, fashion, the avant-garde, and prosthetics. Her area of expertise is British literature from the late 19th century through the 1960s, and its West European contexts. She has taught graduate courses on fashion and modernism, the middlebrow, and introductions to modernism. Undergraduate courses range from large lecture introductions to the English major; to smaller seminars on boredom, wandering women, contemporary fiction, blood, privacy, and "Excellent Women"--the latter part of an ongoing interest in domestic fictions and under-read female British writers of the 1910s-1960s. Professor Burstein also teaches modern novel courses, some focusing on adultery, some on embodiment; and major texts courses based on Oscar Wilde and Virginia Woolf. She has published on Dorothy Parker, Wyndham Lewis, crowds, and once in a while in The Chronicle of Higher Education. Her book Cold Modernism engages Wyndham Lewis, Mina Loy, Balthus, Hans Bellmer, Henry James, and Coco Chanel, and covers the period 1896-1948. She is also member of the editorial committee of the scholarly journal Modernism/modernity.

We’ll explore how Jesus interacted with and treated women during his ministry and how they responded. Looking into questions like: What were the cultural norms for women during Jesus’ life? Was Jesus a feminist? What do Paul’s letter to the Romans and John’s Gospel tell us about early women disciples?

Then we will discuss women’s roles in the very early Christian communities up to about 300 A.D. The New Testament will be used as well as several other references. There will be time for questions and discussion and some possibly surprising revelations. An outline and list of references will be provided. Over the past 50 years there has been a wealth of academic and research interest in these topics and well over 100 books have been written.

Instructor Peggy Clough will lead this study group for those 50 and above for two hours on Tuesdays October 24 and 31.

With the best of intentions governmental and nongovernmental humanitarian advocacy groups assemble and collect stories of suffering in order to inform their claims for restoration. They collect trauma narratives for the purpose of supporting their interventions into nations and communities. But they also collect and disseminate these stories to acquire funding and political capital in order to promote their own institutional security even as they promote human dignity in their practices (James 2004). As a result of advocacy against HIV/AIDS, Female Genital Mutilation, and armed conflict in particular, African women’s stories of trauma have often been interpreted and showcased as evidence of extreme gender based abuses in the global rights discourse. How do we ethically empathize with the suffering of women across nations and cultures whose gendering processes are different and who are racialized, remains an exegetical question for both feminist and trauma studies as well as humanitarian work and policies. I suggest that cross-cultural solidarity can only happen if there is a willingness to ethically translate African women’s traumatic experiences. I argue that ethical translation of pain takes into consideration the intersubjective dimension of trauma narration and considers the cultural, social, and political locations of African women as well as the subjects who bear witness to their testimonies.

Zell Visiting Writers Series: Monica Youn and Joyce Carol Oates, Poetry and Prose Reading (October 26, 2017 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/44989 44989-10041306@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 26, 2017 6:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Monica Youn is the author of three books of poetry: Blackacre (Graywolf Press, 2016); Barter(Graywolf Press, 2003); and Ignatz (Four Way Books, 2010), which was a finalist for the National Book Award. Her poems have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies, including the New Yorker, the Paris Review, and the New York Times Magazine, and she has been awarded fellowships from the Library of Congress and Stanford University, among other awards. A former attorney, she now teaches poetry at Princeton University and at the Warren Wilson College MFA Program for Writers. She previously taught at Bennington College, Columbia University, and at the Sarah Lawrence College MFA Program. Youn’s poetry has been described as “interested in the intersection between the beauty we want in life, and the darkness that often serves as an invisible barrier for it,” with her background in law allowing her to “probe and navigate these gray areas gently, using an economy of language that both cuts to the heart of the matter and reveals nuanced layers of caution, lust, and desperation.”

One of the most prolific American writers of the 20th century, Joyce Carol Oates counts historical biographies, depictions of working class families, and magical realist Gothic fiction among her oeuvre. She often depicts hardships and violence in American towns, and has received both critical and popular acclaim in her 50-year career. Oates is the author of over 70 books, including the novels them (1969), winner of the National Book Award; Bellefleur (1980); You Must Remember This (1987); Because It Is Bitter, and Because It Is My Heart (1990); We Were the Mulvaneys (1996); Blonde (2000), winner of the National Book Award; The Gravedigger’s Daughter (2007); and The Accursed (2013). Her short stories and essays have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, The Atlantic, and Harper’s, and have been widely anthologized. In an interview for the Paris Review, she says: “I try to write books that can be read in one way by a literal-minded reader, and in quite another way by a reader alert to symbolic abbreviation and parodistic elements. And yet, it's the same book—or nearly. A trompe l'oeil, a work of ‘as if.’”
UMMA is pleased to be the site for the Zell Visiting Writers Series, which brings outstanding writers each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (AB ’64, LLDHon ’13). For more information, please visit the Zell Visiting Writers Series webpage.

Please join us for a public lecture by Lloyd Pratt (Oxford)

Abstract: Emerson’s writing has been divided, remixed, and reimagined in a variety of contexts. Through the story of one early twentieth-century woman reader, this talk takes up the question of how these reformulations of Emerson emerged, as well as how they found themselves subject to new forms of reading. Those new forms of reading developed out of the progressive school reform movements of the first half of the twentieth century, which had roots in the radical educational theories of nineteenth-century New England and Romantic-era Europe. Located at the level of primary and secondary education in the United States, both then and now, these new forms of reading, including free reading, came to establish the conditions of possibility for the forms of reading—critical, close, surface, etc. —that now dominate the humanities in the twentieth-century US research university.

Lloyd Pratt is Drue Heinz Professor of American Literature at the University of Oxford. He is the author of The Strangers Book: The Human of African American Literature (2015) and Archives of American Time: Literature and Modernity in the Nineteenth Century (2010).

The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability (November 8, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/45684 45684-10254218@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 8, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

In "The Right to Maim" Jasbir K. Puar brings her pathbreaking work on the liberal state, sexuality, and biopolitics to bear on our understanding of disability. Drawing on a stunning array of theoretical and methodological frameworks, Puar uses the concept of “debility”—bodily injury and social exclusion brought on by economic and political factors—to disrupt the category of disability. She shows how debility, disability, and capacity together constitute an assemblage that states use to control populations. Puar's analysis culminates in an interrogation of Israel's policies toward Palestine, in which she outlines how Israel brings Palestinians into biopolitical being by designating them available for injury. Supplementing its right to kill with what Puar calls the right to maim, the Israeli state relies on liberal frameworks of disability to obscure and enable the mass debilitation of Palestinian bodies. Tracing disability's interaction with debility and capacity, Puar offers a brilliant rethinking of Foucauldian biopolitics while showing how disability functions at the intersection of imperialism and racialized capital.

Presented by IRWG's Colonialism, Race & Sexualities Initiative (CRSI) with support from Arab and Muslim American Studies, the Department of English, the Doing Queer Studies Now Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop, Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies, the Department of American Culture, the UM Initiative on Disability Studies, Disability Studies Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop, the Department of Women's Studies, and the Critical Ethnic and Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies Workshop.

Jasbir K. Puar is Professor of Women's and Gender Studies at Rutgers University and the author of Terrorist Assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times, published by Duke University Press.

Lecture: "Sex Toys and Social Entrepreneurship: The Possibilities and Pitfalls of Queer Capitalism" (November 13, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/45894 45894-10321774@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 13, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Lesbian, Gay, Queer Research Initiative (LGQRI)

About the Event:
Join "Vibrator Nation" author Lynn Comella as she draws from her recently published book about the history of feminist and queer-run sex-toy stores to discuss the possibilities and pitfalls of queer capitalism, including the challenges of balancing profitability and social change in a rapidly expanding and increasingly competitive sexual marketplace.

About the Book:
In the 1970s a group of pioneering feminist entrepreneurs launched a movement that ultimately changed the way sex was talked about, had, and enjoyed. Boldly reimagining who sex shops were for and the kinds of spaces they could be, these entrepreneurs opened sex-toy stores like Eve’s Garden, Good Vibrations, and Babeland not just as commercial enterprises, but to provide educational and community resources as well. In "Vibrator Nation" Lynn Comella tells the fascinating history of how these stores raised sexual consciousness, redefined the adult industry, and changed women's lives. Comella describes a world where sex-positive retailers double as social activists, where products are framed as tools of liberation, and where consumers are willing to pay for the promise of better living—one conversation, vibrator, and orgasm at a time.

"Sins Invalid" (November 14, 2017 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/43953 43953-9855245@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 14, 2017 5:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

U-M Professor Petra Kuppers will introduce the film, including a short reading from her new book "Theatre & Disability," followed by the film screening, open discussion, and a book signing.

This 33-minute documentary explores Sins Invalid, a performance project that incubates and celebrates artists with disabilities, centralizing artists of color and queer and gender-variant artists as communities who have been historically marginalized. The performance work explores the themes of sexuality, embodiment and the disabled body. Conceived and led by disabled people of color, they develop and present cutting-edge work where normative paradigms of "normal" and "sexy" are challenged, offering instead a vision of beauty and sexuality inclusive of all individuals and communities. "Sins Invalid" is as an entryway into the absurdly taboo topic of sexuality and disability, manifesting a new paradigm of disability justice.

Petra Kuppers, U-M professor of English language and literature, women's studies, art, and theater and drama, is a community performance artist and a disability culture activist.

Making A Difference: Women, Art and Activism in South Africa Today (November 17, 2017 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/45642 45642-10242993@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 17, 2017 2:00pm
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Women’s collaborations continue to lead the way in a number of critical human rights issues in post-apartheid South Africa: historical memory and heritage; housing and land rights; HIV/AIDS; LGBTI rights and the right to safety at home and at work without fear of violence. The ongoing struggles for these rights are usually intertwined.

At the UN Women Summit in May 2016, the Executive Director, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, specifically highlighted the critical importance of women’s role, “Experience and research show that when women are included in humanitarian action, the entire community benefits…Women must be included in decision-making about the forms of assistance, means of delivery, and the provision of the protection and economic and social empowerment opportunities they need so they can be agents of change.” (http//www.unwomen.org/en/news/in-focus/humanitarian-actionhashtagsthash.RBIoHrzc.dpuf)

This lecture argues that while the conventional political terrain in South Africa appears to be stalling on delivering the fruits of a democratic process, a new space for effective political activism on the ground has been opened up by women makers and artists. The lecture explores some of the extraordinary projects which have taken the initiative to transform complex social environments still blighted by the devastating legacy of the apartheid years and the economic and health challenges presented by years of official denialism in the face of the AIDS/HIV pandemic. It argues that gender is a critical component in the wider social efficacy of these art projects.

The lecture contends that the art and creative collaborations examined in this research has lent agency to women activists and has become an effective means of challenging the authorities and raising awareness of women’s rights. It argues that the mental and physical health benefits arising from these processes have enabled the confident transmission of accessible and lifesaving knowledge.

Gender: New Works, New Questions Panel, featuring "PearlStitch" by Petra Kuppers (November 29, 2017 3:10pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46079 46079-10387188@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 29, 2017 3:10pm
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

This panel of U-M faculty members will discuss Petra Kuppers’ recent poetry collection, PearlStitch (Spuyten Duyvil Press, 2016) as part of IRWG's Gender: New Works, New Questions series.

Participants:
Petra Kuppers (Author), Professor of English, Women's Studies, Art and Design, and Theatre
Naomi Andre, Associate Professor of Women's Studies, Afroamerican and African Studies, and Associate Director for Faculty at the Residential College
Melanie Yergeau, Associate Professor of English Language and Literature

“A pearl stitch is a chain stitch, also known as the basque knot. In this garlandy chain of poems, Petra Kuppers interknits a mythology of heroines, natural wonders, marvelously slippery identities, personal struggles and exultations, but also acknowledges the violence by which text-making and life-making takes place in our world, whereby the “endless piston that drives the needle into the skin,” looping and connecting, is also the mechanism of our most elaborate cultural efflorescence. A beautiful meditation on the labor of making at all levels, PearlStitch stabs out a love letter to the love that fuels our creative surges in spite of all urges toward its perversion by capital” - Maria Damon“A pearl stitch is a chain stitch, also known as the basque knot.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

Kathleen Canning’s work has transformed the way we do history and her indefatigable spirit has inspired scholars and students here at the University of Michigan and beyond. This symposium will bring together scholars whose work has been inspired by her writings and teaching and students whose careers she supported and shaped, with the purpose of marking her transition from the University of Michigan to Rice University, where she will serve as Dean of Humanities.

The Practice of History will feature a keynote lecture in Canning’s honor by Tracie Matysik (University of Texas, Austin) and bring together leading scholars, colleagues, and former students of Canning’s to reflect on her numerous contributions in four panels. In a first session, colleagues from Michigan and elsewhere will consider how Canning’s work has shaped the field of German History. A second session on Citizenship and Gender will engage with her most important historical and theoretical arguments to illustrate how they continue to transform historical understanding of categories such as gender, citizenship, experience, practice and participation. The third session, features some of Canning’s more recent former students who will comment on the key role her work and mentorship have played in their education, their development as scholars, and their current careers. The last session “Kathleen and the World” brings together scholars who work in non-European fields to reflect on the breadth and reach of Canning’s influence.

Besides celebrating the scholarship and educational vision of Kathleen Canning, The Practice of History also seeks to remind us all of the extraordinary citizen, colleague, mentor. and friend she has been to her Michigan students and colleagues as well as to scholars, thinkers, and activists elsewhere. Her work has never been purely abstract. Her labor has never been only theoretical. Her scholarship is marked most by its heartfelt connections to actual people and places, both in the now and in the past and driven by her deep commitment to activism, practice, empowerment, and enjoyment.

Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

This lecture takes as its starting point Régis Durand’s evocative description of photographs as “images in crisis,” in which “something in them is always trying to run off, to vanish.” It moves through nineteenth and twentieth century photography history in establishing photography as a sequential and grammatical art that denaturalizes the real through its silences, absences, and equivocations. In this way, photography offers a compelling model for reading a composite mode of modernist writing that shares its fragmentary aesthetic and narrative form—and for reconceiving the gendered subject–object relations in that writing, as modernism’s women seem to run off, to vanish, before our eyes. Interleaved with critical–creative readings of individual photographs, drawn from a forthcoming scholarly project to be released on Instagram in February 2018, this lecture is an experiment in an elliptical, associative mode of argumentation that mimes photography’s logic of incongruous juxtaposition.

Audre Lorde - The Berlin Years 1984 - 1992
MONDAY JANUARY 15, 2018
6:00 pm Hatcher Library Gallery

Audre Lorde’s incisive, often-angry, always brilliant writings and speeches defined and inspired the US-American feminist, lesbian, African-American, and Women-of-Color movements of the 1970s and 1980s. Audre Lorde - the Berlin Years 1984 to 1992 documents an untold chapter of Lorde’s life: her influence on the German political and cultural scene during a decade of profound social change. The film explores the importance of Lorde’s legacy, as she encouraged Afro-Germans—who, at that time, had no name or space for themselves—to make themselves visible within a culture that until then had kept them isolated and silent.

The film chronicles Lorde’s empowerment of Afro-German women to write and to publish, as she challenged white women to acknowledge the significance of their white privilege and to deal with difference in constructive ways. Previously unreleased archive material as well as present-day interviews explore the lasting influence of Lorde’s ideas on Germany and the impact of her work and personality. For the first time, Dagmar Schultz’s personal archival video- and audio-recordings reveal a significant part of the private Audre Lorde as well as her agenda—to rouse Afro-Germans to recognize each other.

Is kneeling during the national anthem a show of disrespect or a display of patriotism? Is extending a welcome to immigrants and refugees central to American ideals or a threat to them? Is the Confederate flag a symbol of heritage or racism? Lydia Polgreen, editor-in-chief of HuffPost and 2009 Livingston Award winner, will discuss the vital role of a free press in a thriving democracy and its responsibility in the current populist moment.
Fresh off the Listen to America road trip, a 25-city bus tour to engage with people and communities that feel left out of dominant national narratives, Polgreen will address the legacy and current relevance of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and engage the audience in a conversation about voice, power and participation in civil society.
Event will be live-streamed.

Drawing from her recent book, Andrea Ritchie examines how Black women, Indigenous women, and women of color experience racial profiling, police brutality, and immigration enforcement. Placing stories of individual women—such as Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd, Dajerria Becton, Monica Jones, and Mya Hall—in the broader context of the twin epidemics of police violence and mass incarceration, Ritchie documents the evolution of movements centering women’s experiences of policing and demands a radical rethinking of our visions of safety—and the means we devote to achieving it.

Andrea Ritchie, J.D., is a Black lesbian immigrant whose writing, litigation, and advocacy has focused on policing of women and LGBT people of color for the past two decades. She is currently Researcher in Residence on Race, Gender Sexuality and Criminal Justice at the Barnard Center for Research on Women’s Social Justice Institute, and was a 2014 Senior Soros Justice Fellow. She is the author of Invisible No More: Police Violence Against Black Women and Women of Color (Beacon Press, 2017), co-author of Say Her Name: Resisting Police Brutality Against Black Women (African American Policy Forum, July 2015), and Queer (In)Justice: The Criminalization of LGBT People in the United States (Beacon Press, 2011). Andrea is also an experienced litigator, policy analyst and advocate. Follow her on Twitter: @dreanyc12

Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

In Japan and other places, modernity has given rise to what might be called a “penis industry”: a complex of urological knowledge, business interests, and advertising media that, by instilling a fear in impressionable young males that their genitalia embody a shameful departure from the physical norm, extracts money from their wallets to carry out one or another kind of treatment. This talk considers the emergence of the penis industry in early twentieth-century Japan, focusing on the advertising strategies that its entrepreneurs developed in print to promote a distinctly modern form of psychological anxiety.

Gregory Pflugfelder is an associate professor of Japanese history in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures and the Department of History at Columbia University. Professor Pflugfelder's current work engages the construction of masculinities, the history of the body, and representations of monstrosity. His books include JAPANimals: History and Culture in Japan's Animal Life, coedited with Brett L. Walker (Michigan Monograph Series in Japanese Studies, 2005); Cartographies of Desire: Male-Male Sexuality in Japanese Discourse, 1600–1950 (University of California Press, 1999) and Politics and the Kitchen: A History of the Women's Suffrage Movement in Akita Prefecture (in Japanese; Domesu, 1986). His latest writing projects are "Growing Up with Godzilla: A Global History" and "Mobo: Playing the 'Modern Boy' in Interwar Japan and Its Empire." Professor Pflugfelder received his BA from Harvard (1981), his MA from Waseda (1984), and his PhD from Stanford (1996). He has been teaching at Columbia since 1996.

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 with support from the Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative.

“The Crisis of Multiculturalism in Europe: A History” by Rita Chin (February 6, 2018 3:10pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/47425 47425-10898851@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 6, 2018 3:10pm
Location: Lane Hall

Discussants:

- Kristin Dickinson, Assistant Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures
- Damani Partridge, Associate Professor of Anthropology and Afroamerican and African Studies

In 2010, the leaders of Germany, Britain, and France each declared that multiculturalism had failed in their countries. Over the past decade, a growing consensus in Europe has voiced similar decrees. But what do these ominous proclamations, from across the political spectrum, mean? From the influx of immigrants in the 1950s to contemporary worries about refugees and terrorism, "The Crisis of Multiculturalism in Europe" examines the historical development of multiculturalism on the Continent. Rita Chin argues that there were few efforts to institute state-sponsored policies of multiculturalism, and those that emerged were pronounced failures virtually from their inception. She shows that today's crisis of support for cultural pluralism isn't new but actually has its roots in the 1980s.

Chin looks at the touchstones of European multiculturalism, from the urgent need for laborers after World War II to the public furor over the publication of "The Satanic Verses" and the question of French girls wearing headscarves to school. While many Muslim immigrants had lived in Europe for decades, in the 1980s they came to be defined by their religion and the public's preoccupation with gender relations. Acceptance of sexual equality became the critical gauge of Muslims' compatibility with Western values. The convergence of left and right around the defense of such personal freedoms against a putatively illiberal Islam has threatened to undermine commitment to pluralism as a core ideal. Chin contends that renouncing the principles of diversity brings social costs, particularly for the left, and she considers how Europe might construct an effective political engagement with its varied population.

Challenging the mounting opposition to a diverse society, "The Crisis of Multiculturalism in Europe" presents a historical investigation into one continent's troubled relationship with cultural difference.

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.

Book sales provided by Common Language Bookstore.

Event Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.
