Healing Justice: Fabric of Community (March 5, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82340 82340-21068622@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 5, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Campus Involvement

Gain some perspective as we dig deep into the power of Meaning! How do you find meaning in your life, and how do different identities we hold play a role in how we find meaning? We will be exploring this through two separate workshops led by CAPS "Healing Justice: Holistic Self-Care During Challenging Times ".

U-M Counseling and Psychological Services will offer two workshops (“Healing Justice in the Fabric of Community” and “Healing Justice: Rediscovering Spirit” ) which focus on components of Loretta Pyles’ (2018) Healing Justice: Self-Care for Change Makers.

This Fabric of Community session will work towards defining ourselves through the health and wealth of our neighbors, community and planet. There is an emphasis on 1) healing one's community while in community; 2) community resilience; and 3) collective efficacy--the belief that neighbors or groups of citizens can change their situations and be effective in organized community action.

All students (undergraduate, graduate and professional) are invited to attend this powerful session!

To be true to healing justice, it’s vital to highlight its origins. The movement was originally created by queer folx, BIPOC, women and those with disabilities starting from the 60s with a resurgence in the late 2000s. U-M participants will learn ways of healing “a sense of brokenness or disconnection that may be a result of trauma, oppressive socio-cultural narratives and practices or the ways in which humans may lose touch with each other and themselves.”

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Spectrum Center

Register: https://bit.ly/LGBTQ-UM-Events

All trans people are beautiful, and that sentiment is not always expressed. In times of isolation and disconnect from community, transgender and nonbinary individuals can lose sight of self-love and body positivity.

In Part 1, we will explore the topic of body positivity through the lens of the wellbeing model. The workshop will focus on collectively building a more trans-inclusive idea of body positivity based on our experiences and identities. By incorporating other transgender and non-binary voices in the workshop, the space will also explore what self-love looks like and how you can build a body-positive self-image.

In Part 2, we will continue diving into how to cultivate a body-positive self-image. Through personal reflection and group conversations, we will explore our own body origin stories and how body policing manifests within transgender and non-binary communities. With a focus on narratives and experiences, the workshop will provide participants with strategies to reframe and cultivate body positivity for ourselves, our relationships and our communities.

Attendance for Part 1 isn't required for Part 2, nor is it a commitment to attend Part 2. For both workshops, participants are encouraged to wear an article of clothing, accessory, or outfit that validates your identity and expression.

Embracing Our Artistic Selves: Navigating Times of Crisis and Addressing Inequity (March 16, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80488 80488-20728307@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 16, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

RSVP here to receive the Zoom link: cew.umich.edu/events/embracing-our-artistic-selves-navigating-times-of-crisis-and-addressing-inequity


As a scholar focused on addressing equity within arts education, Dr. Fitzpatrick draws upon her formative experiences as a white teacher of students of color to examine systemic injustice within educational spaces. Within this workshop, she will encourage attendees to first connect with their own artistic selves, considering the ways that the arts are woven within their own life’s story. Following a journey to reconsider their positionality with regard to the arts, attendees will examine the ways that human beings use the arts to address injustice, particularly at moments of crisis such as those we are experiencing today. Equity in arts education will be examined from this broader perspective, with each participant reflecting on their own journey within educational spaces as it relates to identity and marginalization.

An integral part of the Inspire initiative is pairing advocacy, social change, and activism with skills that enhance a sense of wellbeing and focus. A short guided Mindfulness Meditation practice will be incorporated into the program.

Kate Fitzpatrick-Harnish, PhD is Associate Professor of Music Education for the School of Music, Theatre and Dance at the University of Michigan. Before coming to U-M in the fall of 2008, Fitzpatrick served as Assistant Professor of Music Education and Assistant Director of Bands at the University of Louisville. Fitzpatrick is an active and prolific researcher, focusing on the experiences of those who have been historically marginalized in music education. Her research has been published in the Journal of Research in Music Education, Research Studies in Music Education, the Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education, Contributions to Music Education, Southwestern Musician, the Music Educators Journal, and the Journal of Mixed Methods Research, in addition to numerous book chapters. Her book, Urban Music Education: A Practical Guide for Teachers, was published in 2015 by Oxford University Press. Fitzpatrick has served on the editorial boards of the Journal of Research in Music Education and Update: Applications of Research in Music Education, and is a member of the Music Education Advisory Board for the Save the Music Foundation. She is the past national elected chair of the Social Sciences Special Research Interest Group for the National Association of Music Education, and also serves as a frequent clinician and guest conductor with bands across the United States. An avid supporter of public school music programs, she is the former director of instrumental music at Northland High School in Columbus, Ohio, where she directed the district’s largest band and orchestra program and was awarded the Brass Band of Columbus’ 2003 God and Country Award, recognizing her “outstanding, sensitive leadership of young people.”

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.

Healing Justice: Rediscovering Spirit (March 26, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82980 82980-21233242@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 26, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Campus Involvement

As part of the Healing Justice: Holistic Self-Care During Challenging Times series, this Rediscovering Spirit session aims to increase awareness of interdependence of the self, relationships, work and the world. Spiritual practice can contribute to healing justice in the following ways: 1) Help to cultivate balance and alleviate stress in one’s life; 2) Learn how to de-identify with things that no longer serve us; 3) Increase connection and 4) Increase personal and collective empowerment such that one can more effectively work with, and on behalf of others to alleviate suffering and end oppression.

U-M Counseling and Psychological Services will offer two workshops (“Healing Justice in the Fabric of Community” and “Healing Justice: Rediscovering Spirit” ) focused on components of Loretta Pyles’ (2018) Healing Justice: Self-Care for Change Makers. To be true to healing justice, it’s vital to highlight its origins. The movement was originally created by queer folx, BIPOC, women and those with disabilities starting from the 60s with a resurgence in the late 2000s. U-M participants will learn ways of healing “a sense of brokenness or disconnection that may be a result of trauma, oppressive socio-cultural narratives and practices or the ways in which humans may lose touch with each other and themselves.”

All students (undergraduate, graduate and professional) are invited to attend this powerful session!

All trans people are beautiful, and that sentiment is not always expressed. In times of isolation and disconnect from community, transgender and nonbinary individuals can lose sight of self-love and body positivity.

In Part 1, we will explore the topic of body positivity through the lens of the wellbeing model. The workshop will focus on collectively building a more trans-inclusive idea of body positivity based on our experiences and identities. By incorporating other transgender and non-binary voices in the workshop, the space will also explore what self-love looks like and how you can build a body-positive self-image.

In Part 2, we will continue diving into how to cultivate a body-positive self-image. Through personal reflection and group conversations, we will explore our own body origin stories and how body policing manifests within transgender and non-binary communities. With a focus on narratives and experiences, the workshop will provide participants with strategies to reframe and cultivate body positivity for ourselves, our relationships and our communities.

Attendance for Part 1 isn't required for Part 2, nor is it a commitment to attend Part 2. For both workshops, participants are encouraged to wear an article of clothing, accessory, or outfit that validates your identity and expression.

We're so excited for this year's Name Change Clinic, brought to you in partnership with the OUTreach program at the Jim Toy Community Center and OutLaws student group. This workshop will cover the basics of legal name changes, gender marker corrections, and current legal issues regarding transgender rights.

PLEASE NOTE:
This workshop will center on the process in Michigan. Every state's process to change your name and legal gender marker is different, and can vary within a state by county. Our presenters will be doing their best to answer any questions regarding the process broadly, but please keep this in mind as you attend.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

IISS is pleased to announce a book workshop with Prof. Kathryn Babayan (History and Middle East Studies) on her new groundbreaking monograph *The City as Anthology Eroticism and Urbanity in Early Modern Isfahan* (Stanford University Press, 2021).

The Abstract:

Household anthologies of seventeenth-century Isfahan collected everyday texts and objects, from portraits, letters, and poems to marriage contracts and talismans. With these family collections, Kathryn Babayan tells a new history of the city at the transformative moment it became a cosmopolitan center of imperial rule. Bringing into view people's lives from a city with no extant state or civic archives, Babayan reimagines the archive of anthologies to recover how residents shaped their communities and crafted their urban, religious, and sexual selves.

Babayan highlights eight residents—from king to widow, painter to religious scholar, poet to bureaucrat—who anthologized their city, writing their engagements with friends and family, divulging the many dimensions of the social, cultural, and religious spheres of life in Isfahan. Through them, we see the gestures, manners, and sensibilities of a shared culture that configured their relations and negotiated the lines between friendship and eroticism. These entangled acts of seeing and reading, desiring and writing converge to fashion the refined urban self through the sensual and the sexual—and give us a new and enticing view of the city of Isfahan.

No matter your role, there are universal job skills that will help you succeed and advance in your career. Despite their importance, there's not a lot of opportunities to learn how to manage your manager, understand corporate culture, find ways to add more value, and deal with office politics. Each of which can help you be seen as a key contributor, or can undermine your career if not handled correctly. In this workshop, presented by Mark Herschberg, you will learn how to build these skills so you can make the most of any professional opportunity.

The workshop will be conducted via this Zoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/93430894629.

RSVP online here: http://www.cew.umich.edu/events/launching-your-ship

In this workshop, Woods will share experiences in creatively tackling problems and experiencing the joys of coalition building. Participants will be encouraged to think about how they approach situations where the ship they are in seems to be stuck in a port and is not going anywhere. Stuck in racism? Stuck in sexism? Stuck in certain social classes? What do you need to make your ship sail? Will a new captain do it? Or, should you be the “Captain of your own fate?” Do you need a new destination? Are you bored with the direction you have been going? Are you going in circles? Do you need new perspectives, new shipmates? Have you outgrown the mundane, xenophobic habits of those in your circle? How can you develop healthy habits to move your life and community forward? Short, interactive activities will assist each participant in using the ship metaphor to move forward in their life.

An integral part of the Inspire initiative is pairing advocacy, social change, and activism with skills that enhance a sense of wellbeing, focus, and interconnectedness. A short guided Mindfulness Meditation practice will be incorporated into the program.

Wendy Ann Woods served the citizens of Ann Arbor from 2001 to 2007 as City Councilwoman. She is a strong advocate for affordable housing, a vibrant downtown, a balanced budget, a living wage ordinance, and corporate social responsibility. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Forestry Management and a Master of Science degree in Environmental Policy and Management at the School of Natural Resources and Environment at the University of Michigan. Woods is the associate director of the Michigan Community Scholars Program (MCSP), a nationally recognized living-learning program at the U-M that focuses on social justice, community service, diversity, and civic engagement.

CREES/Ford U.S.-Russia Future Leaders Professional Development Workshop. Participatory Development in the Kyrgyz Republic: A Simulation and Discussion (April 13, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83294 83294-21338270@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 13, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

Registration for this event has closed.

From 2014-2019, the US Agency for International Development implemented a project in the Kyrgyz Republic to strengthen agricultural productivity and address food insecurity, primarily among agricultural farming families. One of the first steps the project took in 2014 was to engage with local stakeholders to decide which agricultural value chains to target, and what type of farm-level assistance would be most effective.

During the workshop, students will each take on the role of a key stakeholder and participate in a community deliberation activity to help the project make these decisions. Students will participate in a variety of participation tools to spur brainstorming and information sharing, generate ideas, resolve conflict, and make group decisions. After the simulation, students will have a discussion about the exercise, reflecting on the experience of being a participant; how participation can unearth previously unidentified problems, solutions, and critical contextual factors; compare the tools and approaches applied to other types of participation tools and approaches; and the role of community power dynamics in participation activities.

Amy Harris, a post-doctoral fellow at the Ford School of Public Policy, will lead this workshop. Amy merges both experience as a former foreign aid implementation professional working on USAID and World Bank projects, and academic expertise in foreign aid contracting and participatory development. Amy holds a PhD in Public Policy and Management from the University of Washington.

Participating students must agree to complete select readings prior to the workshop session and to play an active role in the simulation, as an assigned stakeholder. More details will be provided upon registration. Students are also required to attend the workshop session in its entirety. For those without a 1pm scheduling conflict, Dr. Harris will continue her post-simulation debrief until 1:15pm (EDT).

IISS Book Workshop Series. "Sainthood and Authority in Early Islam: Al-Ḥakīm al-Tirmidhī’s Theory of wilāya and the Reenvisioning of the Sunnī Caliphate": Book Workshop with Professor Aiyub Palmer (April 14, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83565 83565-21428642@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 14, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

The IISS is pleased to announce a book workshop with Professor Aiyub Palmer (University of Kentucky) on his fascinating monograph "Sainthood and Authority in Early Islam".

The Abstract:
In his book Aiyub Palmer recasts wilāya ("sainthood") in terms of Islamic authority and traces its development in both political and religious spheres up through the 3rd and 4th Islamic centuries. This book pivots around the ideas of al-Ḥakīm al-Tirmidhī, the first Muslim theologian and mystic to write on the topic of wilāya.

By looking at its structural roots in Arab and Islamic social organization, Prof. Palmer has reframed the discussion about sainthood in early Islam to show how it relates more broadly to other forms of authority in Islam. This book not only looks anew at the influential ideas of al-Tirmidhī but also challenges current modes of thought around the nature of authority in Islamicate societies.

RSVP to receive Zoom link: cew.umich.edu/events/cewinspire-workshop-promoting-gender-equity-in-the-professions-what-can-we-learn-from-academic-medicine

Presenter: Reshma Jagsi, MD, DPhil, CEW+ 2020 Carol Hollenshead Inspire Award for Excellence in Promoting Equity & Social Change Award Winner

This session will provide an overview of the presenter’s journey to study the promotion of gender equity in medicine. Dr. Reshma Jagsi will discuss in detail the evidence that her research team and others have gathered to demonstrate the impact of the differential challenges that women in medicine face (unconscious biases, gendered expectations of society, and overt discrimination and harassment) and their evidence-based recommendations regarding: 

- how advocacy can lead both to the development of beneficial pipeline programs and policies governing work-life integration;
- the cultural transformation efforts of national organizations (like AAMC, NIH, the National Academies, and TIME'S UP Healthcare) to promote gender equity and discourage sexual harassment; and
- using social media to build communities where individuals might once have been isolated as "the only" one of their demographic characteristics before.

Following this, Dr. Jagsi will moderate a panel of four esteemed colleagues from the medical school, Dr. Dana Telem, Dr. Eve Kerr, Dr. Jack Iwashyna, and Dr. Timothy Johnson. They will have an interactive discussion of insights that can be applied from their experiences in medicine to inform efforts to promote equity in the professions more generally.

Format:

An important starting point within this workshop will be an examination of our own culture and identity journey, utilizing Milner’s (2010) Culture of Power framework to engage participants in small group discussion before larger themes are brought back to the larger group – issues related to educational disparities that originate within society when students are young, yet lead into many of the inequities that are still highly visible within higher education.

In addition, an integral part of the Inspire initiative is pairing advocacy, social change, and activism with skills that enhance a sense of wellbeing, focus and interconnectedness. A short guided Mindfulness Meditation practice will be incorporated into the program.

Reshma Jagsi, MD, DPhil., is the Newman Family Professor and Deputy Chair in the Department of Radiation Oncology and director of the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine at the University of Michigan. An internationally recognized clinical trialist and health services researcher in the field of breast cancer, Dr. Jagsi has co-authored over 300 publications. She has also devoted a substantial portion of her service to the institution and her scholarly effort to promoting gender equity in academic medicine. She is a frequently invited lecturer on this subject, having delivered keynote or plenary talks at the National Institutes of Health, the National Academies, the Association of American Medical Colleges, the American Medical Association, and for dozens of other institutions and medical specialty organizations in the US and abroad. Her investigations of women’s under-representation in senior positions in academic medicine and the mechanisms that must be targeted to promote equity have been funded by an NIH R01 grant and grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Doris Duke Foundation, AMA, and other philanthropic funders.

Organized By: LSA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

In order to have meaningful, productive conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion, we must start with a common language. This session will provide an introduction to key terminology as well as the categories and labels we use to describe others and ourselves. We will also examine how our identities shape the way we enter the world and our interactions with each other. Emphasis will be placed on using our identities to help us understand the identities and experiences of others.

In this session, participants will:

- Identify the benefits of inclusive environments
- Review key terminology related to diversity, equity, and inclusion
- Reflect on the origin of identities, their intersectionality, and their meanings
- Use our own identities as a window to understanding the identities of others to build more authentic, empathic relationships

Audience:

This session is open to all LSA employees. *External guests may request to join as space allows.*

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.

The best laid plans can go awry with poorly thought through conclusions drawn from otherwise accurate data. Learn to identify misleading results (deliberate or accidental) in research with an exercise from the famous University of Washington course Calling Bullshit.

We'll look at an example from science media, from a researcher, and from an NIH report, each of which have serious but easy to miss errors but still got published. Just what is wrong with the papers? How did the editors neglect to find the issue with their conclusions? Why did the scientist who wrote up the results not see their own error? (spoiler alert- the answer to all these questions is usually bias or outright discrimination)

We'll answer these questions in person on North Campus. The rest of the course is available for free online for you to follow up or bring back to your colleagues to continue the discussion.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Mary A. Rackham Institute

The University Center for Language and Literacy is offering a Speaking American English workshop for Fall 2021. The Speaking American English workshop is designed to help you reach personal communication goals and offers a supportive environment to practice the language skills that are important to you.

The session will run for 10 weeks from September 10 to November 19, 2021. Participants will meet weekly on Fridays from 4-5 p.m.

Our certified Speech-Language Pathologists use techniques to help non-native English speakers feel more confident in their communications – whether that’s giving a presentation, or taking notes in a class with a native speaker who speaks fast. The goal of the program is not to eliminate a client’s accent, but to enhance communication skills for greater self-assurance in any setting.

Participants set their own individual goals at the start of the workshop and will work to achieve those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction. If the group workshop does not work with your schedule, please contact us; individual consultations are available.

What to Expect
* An initial meeting focusing on setting your personal goals and objectives.
* Both group and individual activities.
* Exercises for improving articulation, rate control, and projection.
* Increased confidence in social and professional interactions.
* Guidance from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist.

Register by filling out the form here: https://umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bg6tZhShXwx5IfH

If you have questions or need assistance, please call (734) 764-8440.

Details
When: 4-5 p.m. Fridays, September 10-November 19, 2021 (no session on October 1)
Where: Virtually through Zoom, with a potential for in-person meetings as needed or available.
Cost: $275.00, plus purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

In this 90-minute online workshop, publishing consultant and developmental editor Laura Portwood-Stacer will guide participants through the often opaque world of scholarly book publishing, providing the clarity you need in order to approach publishers and pitch your book with confidence. Topics covered in the workshop will include the acquisitions process for scholarly books, how to select presses to ensure the best response, and when and how to approach editors (and how many to approach). The workshop will also cover the differences between an "advance" contract and a "full" contract and how to ensure that your book pitch doesn't sound like an unrevised dissertation. Supplemental handouts and worksheets will be provided to all participants.

Presenter bio:
Laura Portwood-Stacer has been a publishing consultant and developmental editor since 2015. Through her business, Manuscript Works, she has helped hundreds of scholarly authors craft compelling book proposals, and her clients have landed publishing contracts and released books with dozens of competitive university presses. She is the author of The Book Proposal Book: A Guide for Scholarly Authors, published by Princeton University Press in 2021.

Prior to launching Manuscript Works, Laura earned a PhD in Communication with a certificate in Gender Studies from the University of Southern California in 2010. Her first book, Lifestyle Politics and Radical Activism, was a revision of her dissertation and was published by Bloomsbury in 2013.

But what do electrical and computer engineers do anyway?

We do everything! We are there in all electronic devices (cell phones, computers, cars, appliances, etc). We are in electronic communication, networking, power, energy, sensors, and much more. We make things smart – we make them move. We send and decode information – we connect people and things. And we light up the world – efficiently of course!

Basically – we make (almost) everything that matters. And we are master innovators! We hope you can come and learn more!

Relativity Space is building humanity’s multiplanetary future. We invented a new approach to design, print, and fly our own rockets, starting with Terran 1 – the world’s first entirely 3D-printed rocket, set to launch into orbit for the first time ever this winter. As a vertically integrated technology platform, Relativity is at the forefront of an inevitable shift toward software-defined manufacturing. By fusing 3D printing, artificial intelligence, and autonomous robotics, we are pioneering the factory of the future. Disrupting 60 years of aerospace, Relativity offers a radically simplified supply chain, building a rocket with 100x fewer parts in less than 60 days. We believe in a future where interplanetary life fundamentally expands the possibilities for human experience. Our long-term vision is to upgrade humanity’s industrial base on Earth and on Mars.

We are actively hiring Summer 2022 interns and full-time employees in every department including Additive Development, Avionics & Integrated Software, Manufacturing, Powder-Based Additive Development, Vehicle Development, and more.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Mary A. Rackham Institute

The University Center for Language and Literacy is offering a Speaking American English workshop for Fall 2021. The Speaking American English workshop is designed to help you reach personal communication goals and offers a supportive environment to practice the language skills that are important to you.

The session will run for 10 weeks from September 10 to November 19, 2021. Participants will meet weekly on Fridays from 4-5 p.m.

Our certified Speech-Language Pathologists use techniques to help non-native English speakers feel more confident in their communications – whether that’s giving a presentation, or taking notes in a class with a native speaker who speaks fast. The goal of the program is not to eliminate a client’s accent, but to enhance communication skills for greater self-assurance in any setting.

Participants set their own individual goals at the start of the workshop and will work to achieve those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction. If the group workshop does not work with your schedule, please contact us; individual consultations are available.

What to Expect
* An initial meeting focusing on setting your personal goals and objectives.
* Both group and individual activities.
* Exercises for improving articulation, rate control, and projection.
* Increased confidence in social and professional interactions.
* Guidance from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist.

Register by filling out the form here: https://umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bg6tZhShXwx5IfH

This WeListen session is open to all UM staff members across the political spectrum.

All voices and views are welcome and the Zoom link for this event will be shared once you've RSVP'd.

RSVP here: http://bit.ly/WLOctober2021

We will discuss a brief history of policing in the U.S. as well as modern day policies, activism and public dialogue around policing.

Our aim is to bring liberals, conservatives, libertarians- everyone across the political spectrum- together for constructive conversation. The goal of WeListen discussions is not to debate or argue, but to understand the views and values of others and to learn from their perspectives. The session will begin with a brief content presentation to provide a basic understanding of the topic. No specific level of knowledge is required to participate in WeListen discussions.

By participating in WeListen sessions, staff members will:
- Expand understanding of a prominent political topic
- Practice discussing difficult topics with others,
- Gain openness to new ideas and perspectives,
- Learn to productively challenge an idea, and
- Form a sense of community among fellow staff members.

Questions? Email us at welistenstaff@umich.edu.

This event is co-sponsored by the WeListen Staff Series planning committee with members from the Ginsberg Center, the International Institute, LSA Psychology and Michigan Medicine, and the LSA DEI Office.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Mary A. Rackham Institute

The University Center for Language and Literacy is offering a Speaking American English workshop for Fall 2021. The Speaking American English workshop is designed to help you reach personal communication goals and offers a supportive environment to practice the language skills that are important to you.

The session will run for 10 weeks from September 10 to November 19, 2021. Participants will meet weekly on Fridays from 4-5 p.m.

Our certified Speech-Language Pathologists use techniques to help non-native English speakers feel more confident in their communications – whether that’s giving a presentation, or taking notes in a class with a native speaker who speaks fast. The goal of the program is not to eliminate a client’s accent, but to enhance communication skills for greater self-assurance in any setting.

Participants set their own individual goals at the start of the workshop and will work to achieve those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction. If the group workshop does not work with your schedule, please contact us; individual consultations are available.

What to Expect
* An initial meeting focusing on setting your personal goals and objectives.
* Both group and individual activities.
* Exercises for improving articulation, rate control, and projection.
* Increased confidence in social and professional interactions.
* Guidance from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist.

You’ll leave with a new appreciation of how to design remote work and online gatherings to tap into wellsprings of capability, strength, and resilience. You’ll take away a customized plan that is designed to support high quality connections in your next remote session, as well as a design guide that will help you navigate the landscape of connections more effectively in these times.

Instructors:
Your guides on this journey through the landscape of connection are two passionate teachers who are deeply connected to this topic.

Speaking American English: A Workshop for English Language Learners (October 29, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85629 85629-21627814@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 29, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Mary A. Rackham Institute

The University Center for Language and Literacy is offering a Speaking American English workshop for Fall 2021. The Speaking American English workshop is designed to help you reach personal communication goals and offers a supportive environment to practice the language skills that are important to you.

The session will run for 10 weeks from September 10 to November 19, 2021. Participants will meet weekly on Fridays from 4-5 p.m.

Our certified Speech-Language Pathologists use techniques to help non-native English speakers feel more confident in their communications – whether that’s giving a presentation, or taking notes in a class with a native speaker who speaks fast. The goal of the program is not to eliminate a client’s accent, but to enhance communication skills for greater self-assurance in any setting.

Participants set their own individual goals at the start of the workshop and will work to achieve those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction. If the group workshop does not work with your schedule, please contact us; individual consultations are available.

What to Expect
* An initial meeting focusing on setting your personal goals and objectives.
* Both group and individual activities.
* Exercises for improving articulation, rate control, and projection.
* Increased confidence in social and professional interactions.
* Guidance from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist.
