Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Semester in Detroit

Note: This is the first class in a 4-part series. For more information on the series, please visit our website: tinyurl.com/wattstodetroit

The first class will frame the trajectory of our four-week course before moving on to address the impact of the Watts rebellion on state violence. It situates the Watts rebellion as a key turning point that led to increasingly militant Black activism as well as the militarization of police, expanded surveillance, and the promulgation of “copaganda” that built off of growing calls for “law and order” and reinforced and expanded hyper-policing and the criminalization Black urban communities, residents, and politics in the 60s, including in Detroit.

SPEAKERS:

- Facilitator: David Goldberg (Associate Professor of African American Studies at Wayne State University. His work deals with the intersection of Black labor, urban and social movement history, with a particular focus on Detroit (where he is from). He is currently writing a biography of General Baker and is on the board of the General Baker Institute.)
- Max Felkner-Kantor
- Baba Charles Simmons

Timnet Gedar, PhD student in History, will share some background on the work of Botswana born artist Meleko Mokgosi, whose installation Pan African Pulp, is currently on view at UMMA and includes posters from Pan-African movements founded in Detroit and Africa in the 1960s as well as a few designed by Mokgosi.

Then Michigan-based artist Shayla Johnson will show you how to create a unique poster (or tote bag) featuring your own personal slogan and design. Shayla Johnson is founder and designer of Scarlet Crane Creations, a dedicated micro-batch textile printing house specializing in hand-printed fabrics for home decor products and lifestyle accessories. Unique surface patterns range from free flowing florals to abstract textures in order to produce stylish and sophisticated collections. Scarlet Crane Creations is housed at POST so you’ll have the opportunity to see Shayla’s work space, printing table, and work in process. Shayla also works for UMMA as a Museum Applications Developer.

This event is part of a collaboration between UMMA, the African Graduate Student Association, the African Student Association, and the African Business Council. All are welcome if there is space, but we will prioritize student participants as supplies are limited.

Iconic Images: Charlottesville 2017, Selma 1965, Birmingham 1963 (October 30, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78741 78741-20115265@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 30, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Film, Television, and Media

REGISTRATION REQUIRED - SEE LINK BELOW

The Martin Luther King-led Birmingham and Selma campaigns resulted in iconic photographic images that to this day signify “the civil rights movement”: typically those images feature empowered, active whites and victimized, powerless blacks. The events of August 11th and 12th during Charlottesville’s “Summer of Hate” have also produced a group of iconic images that the mass media relies on to signify the violent and emboldened racist hatred of the “Unite the Right” rally and its aftermath. In analyzing and comparing the most frequently circulated photographs, I want to suggest a similarity in the narrative that these frequently circulated photos tend to tell about the struggle for racial justice. A photo of the terrorist car attack that killed Heather Heyer won the Pulitzer Prize. Why? What is this horrifically chaotic, violent, almost visually incomprehensible photo communicating? Why is this image reproduced over and over again? How is it thematically and visually similar to iconic images from the civil rights era? How and why does it matter that our photographic record encourages us to remember key events around race and white supremacy in particular ways?

Aniko Bodroghkozy is a Professor of Media Studies at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville where she has been on faculty since 2001. She is a media historian with a particular focus on American television, the social change movements of the 1960s, media audiences and reception practices in historical context, and the development of television journalism in the 1960s.

He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

RESCHEDULED: The 5th Annual Robert J. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture on Native American Studies: A Conversation with Tommy Orange (November 6, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72820 72820-20058231@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 6, 2020 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Native American Studies

The Department of Native American Studies presents The 5th Annual Robert J. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: A Conversation with Tommy Orange, award-winning, New York Times Best-selling novelist.

The Berkhofer Lecture is scheduled for Friday, November 6th, 2020, at 7:00 pm on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97486211859

Tommy Orange is the author of the bestselling New York Times novel There There, a multigenerational, relentlessly paced story about a side of America few of us have ever explored – the lives of urban Native Americans. There There was one of the New York Times’ 10 Best books of the year and won the Center for Fictions First Novel Prize and the Pen/Hemingway Award. There There was longlisted for the National Book Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Orange graduated from the MFA program at the Institute of American Indian Arts, and was a 2014 MacDowell Fellow, and a 2016 Writing by Writers Fellow. He is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. He was born and raised in Oakland California.

The Berkhofer Lecture series (named for a former U-M professor and founder of the field of Native American studies) was established in 2014 by an alumni gift from the Dan and Carmen Brenner family of Seattle, Washington. In close consultation with the Brenners, Native American Studies decided to create a public lecture series featuring prominent, marquee speakers who would draw audiences from different communities (faculty and students, Ann Arbor and Detroit, and Michigan tribal communities as well as writers and readers of all persuasions). Native American students at U-M have consistently expressed their desire to make Native Americans more visible both on campus and off, and we believe that this lecture takes a meaningful step in that direction. Additionally, because of the statewide publicity it generates, we think it is already becoming another recruitment incentive for Native American students. It goes without saying that the speakers we are inviting provide tremendous value to the mission and work of Native American Studies at U-M.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

NOTE: The scheduled presentation by Pedro Reyes and Magalí Arriola has been postponed due to technical difficulties. In its place, we offer a favorite presentation from the series archives by renowned author, researcher, and activist Temple Grandin.

Temple Grandin is a Doctor of Animal Science and professor at Colorado State University, bestselling author, and consultant to the livestock industry in animal behavior. Facilities she has designed are located in the United States, Canada, Europe, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries. In North America, almost half of the cattle are handled in a center track restrainer system that she designed for meat plants. Curved chute and race systems she has designed for cattle are used worldwide and her writings on the flight zone and other principles of grazing animal behavior have helped many people to reduce stress on their animals during handling.

As a person with high-functioning autism, Grandin is also widely noted for her work in autism advocacy and is the inventor of the hug machine designed to calm hypersensitive persons.

Presented with support from the UM Autism & Communication Disorders Center.

"The fire raced along the fuse line and incensed;
We rose to burn it all down."

Across the nation and the globe, we all-knowing and all-conquering human beings find ourselves - for lack of a better way to phrase it - in a corner. In the corner, on a universally ordered timeout like misbehaving children. We were sent from schools, workplaces, nightclubs, bars, and places to eat to our homes to wait, like Didi and Gogo in Becketts' Waiting for Godot— awaiting the arrival of Godot, who never arrives. We were sent home to wait for a safer moment in time for our collective existence, which has yet to come. Sent home to sit in timeout to reflect, reevaluate, and heal as a people and a nation. Dumbfoundedly, we watched the drafted news reports of lives lost to COVID-19 awe-struck by our leaders' indifference to the severity of the moment. Yet, with all those pots boiling over, we heard of a woman who lost her life when startled from slumber in Louisville, we watched one human-being gunned down while jogging in Georgia, and yet another human-being deliberately robbed of breath for 8m46sec in Minnesota. As if the death of all those individual lives lost to COVID-19 thus far were not enough, we return to extinguishing Black lives.

"As an Afro-Dominican American, it is interesting to exist in a world designed to erase your existence. As a brown-skinned actor, it is devastating to come to terms with my role in that process of self-erasure. I have navigated between theatrical parts that reinforce negative stereotypes and those that made me question if my performance training would be enough to overcome the cultural discrepancy between myself and the character. It is a question that most often comes up when assuming non-white character roles, which underscores my complicity in my self-erasure. When the color of one's skin and the racially discriminatory experiences lived is drowned by the loud narratives that support– despite evidence— that racism does not exist. What does one do? When one's cultural background is not enough to garner a role or bring authenticity and truth to a character of perhaps African American descent, what does the actor do? When does Black equate to one's culture, and when does it not? Why am I at first glance considered black and then by some not black enough? This presentation aims to address performing one's culture within the context of racial consciousness. Performing an Afro-Dominican-American in New York City."

Antonio Disla, aka Antonio Garcia, is an Afro-Caribbean Dominican-American theatre practitioner, born and raised in New York City. He holds an M.F.A. in Performance from The Ohio State University. Since 2012, Antonio has taught at State University of New York (SUNY) at New Paltz, in both the Department of Theatre Arts and the Department of Communication. As a Solo Artist, he has written and devised both site-specific and staged works dealing with identity and race. Of his works, the notables to date are Nobody, a solo piece about race, and Travel, which deals with identity and destiny. As a performing company member of The Shakespeare Forum, he has lead workshops in the New York City Public Schools and co-taught Shakespeare for their Youth Forum program. Antonio has proudly worked with The Black Lady Theater, an African American community theatre company based in Brooklyn, in such productions as From the Brought of Brooklyn and Bone Soup.

In the new virtual series, PERFORMING THE MOVEMENT, PERFORMING THE MOMENT, 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. Each guest will give a 30 minute presentation, and then engage in 30 minutes of Q&A. Sessions will take place over Zoom and require advance registration. You can read about the panelists, register for these events, find recommended reading and resources and/or request recordings of past events at https://lsa.umich.edu/world-performance.

An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

The *Radical History Review* Issue 138, “Fascism and Anti-fascism Since 1945” is currently open access (until January 2021) and available to read on the Duke University Press website. (https://read.dukeupress.edu/radical-history-review/issue/2020/138)

Respondents: Federico Finchelstein (The New School); Victoria de Grazia (Columbia University)

Contributors to this special issue of *Radical History Review* study histories of fascism and antifascism after 1945 to show how fascist ideology continues to circulate and be opposed transnationally despite its supposed death at the end of World War II.

The essays cover the use of fascism in the 1970s construction of the Latinx Left, the connection between antifascism and anti-imperialism in 1960s Italian Communist internationalism, post-dictatorship Argentina and the transhistorical alliance between Las Madres and travestí activism, cultures of antifascism in contemporary Japan, and the British radical right's attempted alliance with Qathafi's Libya. The issue also includes a discussion about teaching fascism through fiction in the age of Trump, a reflection on the practices of archiving and displaying antifascist objects to various publics, and reviews of recent works on antifascism, punk music, and the Rock Against Racism movement. Please RSVP for the Zoom link and password (RSVP link can be found below). This event is sponsored by the Democracy and Debate Theme Semester.

"Weight of Honor" Film Discussion and Panel (November 12, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78642 78642-20077958@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 12, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Veteran and Military Services

“The Weight of Honor” is the first comprehensive documentary to chronicle the lives of families caring for their
catastrophically wounded returning from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Over the course of five years, the film follows the arc of what
happens when some of America's best and strongest volunteer to protect our nation, but return home physically and emotionally
broken and disillusioned. What happens when they return is not only a personal journey but also that of their family caregivers who
have no training other than the love for their wounded. Our military does not prepare families for the return of a wounded warrior.
“The Weight of Honor” tells their stories of strength, exhaustion, conflict, and even humor as they chart a course through the
unknown

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

This lecture addresses the ancient origins of various symbols––the cross, the swastika, torches, and the Roman fasces––used today in order to communicate messages of marginalization, hate, legitimacy. The use and abuse of these hate symbols by white supremacist groups has been catalogued by groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center, but can better understanding the history behind these symbols help us to render them impotent?

Lecture followed by questions moderated by Professor Rachel Rafael Neis (University of Michigan). 

This event is eligible for RCRS credit for History PhD students.

Sarah E. Bond is associate professor of history at the University of Iowa. She is an ancient historian who has written for the New York Times, Forbes, and online arts journal Hyperallergic. She is the author of numerous articles on Roman law and the economy, in addition to her work as a blogger and public historian. Her book, Trade and Taboo: Disreputable Professions in the Roman Mediterranean, was published by the University of Michigan Press in 2016.

Free and open to the public. This is a remote event and will take place online via Zoom. Please register in advance here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9ihjdPGHTnKqiLojb6lvTg

Thank you for your interest, however, this event is fully subscribed..

​As we all look ahead to the November election, and think about the role artists play in activism, we want to get our creative juices flowing and print our own favorite slogan! 

We will share some background on the work of Botswana born artist Meleko Mokgosi, whose installation Pan African Pulp, is currently on view at UMMA and includes posters from Pan-African movements founded in Detroit and Africa in the 1960s as well as a few designed by Mokgosi. 

Then Michigan-based artist Shayla Johnson will show you how to create a unique poster (or tote bag) featuring your own personal slogan and design. Shayla Johnson is founder and designer of Scarlet Crane Creations, a dedicated micro-batch textile printing house specializing in hand-printed fabrics for home decor products and lifestyle accessories. Unique surface patterns range from free flowing florals to abstract textures in order to produce stylish and sophisticated collections. Scarlet Crane Creations is housed at POST so you’ll have the opportunity to see Shayla’s work space, printing table, and work in process. Shayla also works for UMMA as a Museum Applications Developer.  

This event is part of a collaboration between UMMA, the African Graduate Student Association, the African Student Association, and the Ross Africa Business Club. All are welcome if there is space, but we will prioritize student participants as supplies are limited. 

Lead support is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan African Studies Center and the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

Student programming at UMMA is generously supported by the University of Michigan Credit Union Arts Adventures Program, UMMA's Lead Sponsor for Student and Family Engagement.

REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! For those who purchased before 12/15, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

The Healthy Start program targets low-income mothers in Detroit, Flint, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Lansing, and through the Inter-tribal Council of Michigan. The Healthy Start fatherhood program provided father-friendly parent education and home visitation by a fatherhood-focused community health worker.

Note: This is the last class in a 4-part series. For more information on the series, please visit our website: tinyurl.com/wattstodetroit

The last session will recap the previous three courses before expanding our definition of state violence and violence beyond formal “policing.” Using local examples, our speakers will address how the elite elide democracy as a means to profit off of Black people while punitively blaming them for conditions externally imposed upon them. These containment and policing schemes endanger Black lives and futures, and force the poorest urban residents to subsidize the cost of welfare capitalism and gentrification.

SPEAKERS:

- Facilitator: David Goldberg
- Claire McClinton (Squeeky)
- Additional speakers TBA

There will also be a portion of the conference dedicated to women’s power in higher education, with a view to drawing links between the exclusion of diverse women’s voices in the academy, and women’s broader political power.

Registration is free and open to the public.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

Impact of COVID-19 on Service Workers: Work Experiences & Concerns of food retail, food services, and hospitality workers (November 24, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79384 79384-20288598@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 24, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease Center

Marie-Anne Rosemberg is an assistant professor in UM's School of Nursing.
ABSTRACT
Objectives: COVID-19 presents a unique burden specifically for workers in service industries not only because they are disproportionately at risk for contracting the virus but also because of their work-related burdens. We aimed to understand the impact of COVID-19 on these workers.
Methods: This was a mixed-method study with a congruent triangulation design. Participants were recruited through social media. Each interview lasted up to 20 minutes. The survey data included demographic questions along with items from the CAGE and PC-PTSD questionnaires.
Results: Twenty-seven individuals completed audio-recorded phone interviews and 28 completed the survey. Participants were mostly women with an age range between 19 and 65. Participants worked in food retail (n=23), restaurant (n=25), and hospitality (n=7) industries. Length of time on the job ranged from two months to 25 years and 60% of the participants worked full time. Participants reported experiencing symptoms of depression and maladaptive coping. Job insecurity, change of job tasks, and work hours were the most common ways that COVID-19 affected the workers. Themes that emerged about participant’s concerns included being infected and/or unknowingly infecting others, the unknown, isolation, and work and customer demands. Constant changes relating to communication and protection measures were a major source of stress. There was discordance in the perceived level of threat of COVID-19. Most participants reported that their workplace complied with their state’s mandates for protection measures. While others reported lacking basic supplies such as soap, hand sanitizer, and masks.
Conclusions: In addition to their work experiences, COVID-19 has affected service workers at the financial, physical and mental levels. This study has implications of employers, occupational health and safety professionals and policy stakeholders.

After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

How Do We Heal the Widening Divide? (December 9, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/75651 75651-19552871@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 9, 2020 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This panel discussion will explore how the US has become so polarized, and discuss our present racial, class, and urban/rural divides and their impact on the election, and our lives generally. With the election behind us when this discussion takes place, the panel will focus on how we return to American ideals, heal, and move forward.

Our panelists:
Kevin Deegan-Krause is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Wayne State University. He received his undergraduate degree in Economics from Georgetown University in 1990 and his doctorate in Government from the University of Notre Dame in 2000. He has spent more than two decades studying how political parties compete against one another, and how that competition shapes what happens in a democracy. His latest book is The New Party Challenge: Changing Cycles of Party Birth and Death in Central Europe and Beyond, published by Oxford University Press in 2020.

Vincent Hutchings is the Hanes Walton Jr. Collegiate Professor of Political Science at UM and a Research Professor at the UM Institute for Social Research. He received his Ph.D. in 1997 from the University of California, Los Angeles. His research examines the ways in which political campaigns and the media frame information about racial issues in order to activate and make politically relevant the voters’ sympathies and/or antipathies for particular racial groups.

Jennifer Silva joined the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University in 2019. Previously, Silva taught sociology at Bucknell University. She was also a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University, where she studied the impact of economic insecurity on social connectedness and civic engagement. Silva’s latest book is We’re Still Here: Pain and Politics in the Heart of America (Oxford University Press, 2019). Silva earned her Ph.D. and M.A. in sociology from the University of Virginia. She also studied sociology at the undergraduate level at Wellesley College.

Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the event.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Social Work

This webinar, hosted by the Parenting in Context Lab, will present research on how social work faculty have used Twitter for connection and advocacy, before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The conditions of the pandemic have contributed to social isolation and stress among many social workers and the populations they serve. The role of technology and social media for social work practice are currently amplified. This presentation, drawing from data on hundreds of social work faculty, will describe how social workers can leverage Twitter as a professional resource for connection and advocacy.

From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! For those who purchased before 12/15, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

Bodies represent the sites of socially constructed differences and power relations. As such, the personal is political, and bodies are subject to political interpretations. Body politics based on racial (and/or ethnic) ascriptions (along with other intersecting elements such as sex, gender, sexuality, age, social class, ability, etc.) have adversely affected the overall health and wellness of bodies of Color in general, and Black bodies in particular - impacting their abilities, opportunities, access (inclusion/exclusion), care/treatment, and the overall nature of their lived experiences. Consequently, racialed body politics have contributed to an array of health disparities being more pronounced in communities of Color. However, movement offers a variety of health benefits and is therefore, a source of empowerment for racially politicized bodies.

This event will feature a keynote presentation by Dr. Monique Butler, U-M Kinesiology alumna and Chief Medical Officer for HCA Healthcare North Florida Division. She will address the theme "Where Do We Go From Here: Body Politics and Movement Towards Racial Empowerment."

This event is sponsored by the U-M Health Sciences units and hosted by the School of Kinesiology.

Public Monuments and Our Histories: Reframing the Memories of Our Nation (January 18, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80435 80435-20721730@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 18, 2021 1:00pm

Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

Public monuments, public spaces, and museums shape the shared understanding of our nation’s history. From the removal of Jim Crow-era statues of Confederate leaders in cities across the country to the opening of the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, AL, a dramatic shift in our perceptions and ideas about the complex heritage of our monuments and museums has occurred over the last five years. More recently, the country has considered the role of monuments and the narratives they perpetuate with much greater focus and intensity in light of the protest movements for social justice and against systemic racism that swept the nation in summer of 2020. In honor of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., join us for an important discussion with four national experts on the power that monuments and public spaces assert in creating our nation’s stories. Mitch Landrieu, former Mayor of New Orleans; Earl Lewis, founding director of University of Michigan’s Center for Social Solutions; and Kristin Hass, Associate Professor of American Culture, will discuss the crucial role practice and policy play today in shaping our nation’s legacies, in a conversation moderated by Christina Olsen, director of the University of Michigan’s Museum of Art.

CREES Noon Lecture. Being Queer in Russia: A Conversation about Challenges Facing Russia’s LGBTQ+ Movement (January 27, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80589 80589-20759750@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 27, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

This CREES Noon Lecture is brought to you by U-M undergraduates Rachael Merritt and Kyle Arnashus, Russian Language and Culture Majors. The students organized this panel in culmination of their project "Bridging the Gap between LGBTQ+ Communities in Russia and the United States," under the auspices of the CREES-Ford School initiative "Developing Future Leaders in U.S.-Russia Relations."

From the introduction of the 2013 Gay Propaganda Law, the attempted “Trans Ban” laws to the Family Code in 2020, to continuous waves of torture and murder of gay men in Chechnya, members of Russia’s LGBTQ+ community have found themselves in increasingly precarious positions in the struggle for the full realization of their human rights. Now, more than ever, it is imperative that the international Russian LGBTQ+ community come together to form a unified front to fight against increasing oppression. However, the Russian LGBTQ+ community struggles with disconnectedness, both in terms of a unifying Russian LGBTQ+ identity and contradictory visions for the future of Russian LGBTQ+ movement. This panel seeks to address these schisms within the community and foster greater understanding for the identities and perspectives of Russia’s LGBTQ+ diaspora and domestic communities.

All too often in Russian queer diaspora communities individuals feel that they need to forfeit their Russian identity in order to conform to western standards of queer identities. They can feel a loss of their roots, culture, and family. This panel will discuss queer identity formation as it relates to re-connection with a Russian identity, the different obstacles of trauma and persecution that stand in the way of this reunification, and the tremendous impact sustained support through shared conceptions of identity could have for the longevity and strength of the Russian LGBTQ+ movement. Also to be discussed is the media portrayal of the LGBTQ+ movement in the West and in Russia. These depictions are subjected to external or group specific pressures and have contributed to contradictory opinions on methods of social activism throughout the LGBTQ+ community. This fragmentation leaves the LGBTQ+ community vulnerable to oppression and popular criticism.

Collaboration and connectedness between Russian diaspora populations, regional communities, and organizations in Moscow and Petersburg creates an opportunity for effective social organization within the Russian LGBTQ+ movement. The members of the panel bring vastly different personal experiences of identity formation and Russian LGBTQ+ activism, which will serve to begin a dialogue around the deeply entrenched differences in LGBTQ+ identity and movements between their respective groups. These testimonies and the subsequent discussion will hopefully serve as a bridge to find common ground and move the Russian LGBTQ+ movement forward in a more unified and effective way.

Speakers:

Alla Chikinda is the regional representative and communications manager for the LGBTQ+ Resource Center based in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The Resource Center provides a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals to congregate and form community. The organization also hosts informational meetings and takes part in organizing pride activities, and implements social and legal programs and services aimed at overcoming discrimination of the LGBTQ+ community. Joining the Resource Center in 2016, Alla was first responsible for the center’s social media and external communications. Her work led to an increase in the number of followers and mentions in local media outlets. Since 2018, Alla has been concentrating her work with media outlets and stakeholders in the region, and, as a result, the LGBTQ+ agenda is much more visible in Yekaterinburg, on the national, and sometimes international, level. It is considered among the most prominent and efficient LGBTQ+ organizations in Russia. Over the past two years, the center has found a lot of allies and partners among local NGOs, cultural organisations and businesses. Alla believes that a representation of Russian LGBTQ+ identities outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg are essential to form a more comprehensive and inclusive community. It is also Alla’s belief that the integration of the Resource Center into the surrounding community and cooperation with law enforcement is integral to its success.

Ezra Erikson is the digital director at RUSA LGBT, and he has also used his expertise in social media marketing to lead initiatives that advocate for LGBTQ+ rights both in Russia and across the globe. Notably, Ezra has contributed to the development of the Illuminator Project, an initiative designed to raise awareness of gender identity and sexual orientation among Russian-speaking parents. A target of state persecution, Ezra was arrested in June 2016 in Moscow, accused of “gay propaganda,” when he and his partner were paying tribute to the victims of the mass shooting at the Pulse club in Orlando. Ezra moved to the United States in 2017 after his coming out resulted in death threats from relatives.

Anastasiia Fedorova is a writer and curator based in London. She is a regular contributor to "Dazed," "i-D," "GARAGE," "Kaleidoscope Magazine," "032c," "SHOWstudio," and "The Guardian" among other titles. She works as a Strategy and Partnership Manager at "The Calvert Journal," a London-based publication for culture, innovation, photography, and travel in the New East. Anastasiia contributes to LGBTQ+ content curation at "The Calvert Journal," and has covered an impressive number of stories on queer culture in the New East, particularly in Russia. These stories include analysis of Russia’s LGBTQ+ underground movement, queer social media influencers and activists, Russian drag and trans legacies, as well as queer icons of cinema and Russian history. Anastasiia is also a founder of Russian Queer Revolution, a platform for LGBTQ+ creatives from Russia, which she started in 2020. Anastasiia has lived in London for the past nine years, and is a member of the Russian queer community.

Lyosha Gorshkov is a co-president at RUSA LGBT, an organization based in New York City, that operates as a support network for Russian-speaking LGBTQ+ individuals. RUSA LGBT provides informational support to asylum seekers, and organizes social events to increase acceptance of LGBTQ+ people within the Russian speaking public. Lyosha founded Brighton Beach Pride (the first ever Russian-speaking pride) in 2017 that aims at creating a dialogue with Russian diaspora community leaders who hold more conservative views. Lyosha has a background in academia as a former Political Science Professor at Perm State University in Russia. In 2014, as a result of his vocal advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights in Russia and his openly gay status, Lyosha received threats from security services and Neo-Nazi groups and was forced to seek asylum in the United States. In addition to his work at RUSA LGBT, Lyosha currently works as the assistant director of PRIDE and Women’s Centers at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania.

In a recent interview, Ms. Brown said “We wanted people, we wanted Black voters in particular, to feel a sense of their power and their agency, and in spite of all odds, what we could do in pushing this country forward.

Ms. Brown is also an award-winning thought leader, social strategist, philanthropic consultant, jazz singer, and catalyst for change. As co-founder of the Black Voters Matter Fund, Ms. Brown is dedicated to increasing the political power of Black people.

She will share thoughts on her lecture, “The Death of Democracy: Voter Suppression in the 21st Century,” and she will discuss how storytelling and strategic messaging can build political power. The role of women, young voters, and people of color in American politics will be a key area of discussion as it relates to civic engagement protests and student activism.

No More Promises: Policing Feminist Rage in Puerto Rico (February 4, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80304 80304-20703779@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 4, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

This talk will trace the ways that activists and ordinary citizens mobilize rage in order to navigate the constraints of colonial capitalism in contemporary Puerto Rico. I argue that the state is preoccupied with the growing rage being articulated by Puerto Ricans, particularly Puerto Rican feminists, because rage has the potential to create networks of solidarity grounded in a refusal of the current order. Both the local and federal government have increasingly criminalized articulations of political rage and have utilized the Puerto Rico Police Department to repress displays of rage in the streets. Looking at recent examples, I show that in their collective rage, Puerto Ricans who had felt silenced by colonial capitalism, misogyny, queer antagonism, and racism have found a way to push back and articulate a different way of living in Puerto Rico.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Community Scholars Program

What are the secrets for effective student activism? How do student activists leverage their experiences with activism on campus in their personal and professional lives, after graduation?

Join eight members of the Students of Color Coalition twenty years after their takeover of the Michigan Union tower on Feb. 6, 2000, a sit-in to protest the appropriation of Native American culture by elite campus club and “secret society” Michigamua. Their protest lasted for 37 days and impacted their lives during and after their careers at Michigan, while bringing greater awareness of systemic racism to campus and in the greater community. Come learn about their experiences during the strike and how campus activists shape meaningful lives and careers when their days of campus activism are behind them.

Panelists:
Farah Aquino (LSA 1999)
Brian Babb (LSA 2002, SSW 2008)
JuJuan Buford (LSA 2002)

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

ere.

The University of Virginia—designed by Thomas Jefferson and now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site—was built and maintained by 4,000 or more enslaved men, women, and children. UVA’s powerful new Memorial to Enslaved Laborers honors the lives, labors, and resistance of the enslaved people who lived and worked at UVA at some point between 1817 and 1865.

This interview with members of the memorial’s design team will explore the history, form, and process behind the creation of the memorial. Panelists: Mabel Wilson, Meejin Yoon, Eric Höweler, and Eto Otitigbe, with U-M's Kristin Hass as interviewer. 

~   Eric Höweler, AIA, LEED AP,  is an associate professor in architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, where he teaches lecture courses and design studios with a focus on building technologies/integration. He is a co-founding principal of  Höweler + Yoon Architecture LLP, a research-driven, multidisciplinary design studio working between architecture, art, and media. HYA has a reputation for work that is technologically and formally innovative, and deeply informed by human experience, and a sensitivity to tectonics. 

Eto Otitigbe is a polymedia artist whose interdisciplinary practice investigates the intersections of race, power, and technology. With history as the foundation for exploration, Otitigbe sets alternative narratives into motion; creating spaces for people to experience a unique mixture of concepts. Otitigbe lives and works in Brooklyn, NY where is an Assistant Professor and Head of Sculpture in the Art Department of Brooklyn College.

Mabel O. Wilson is the Nancy and George Rupp Professor of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, a professor in African American and African diasporic studies, director of the Institute for Research in African American Studies, and co-director of the Global Africa Lab at Columbia University. She is trained in architecture and American studies, two fields that inform her work. Through her transdisciplinary practice Studio &, Wilson makes visible and legible the ways that anti-black racism shapes the built environment along with the ways that blackness creates spaces of imagination, refusal, and desire. 

J. Meejin Yoon, AIA FAAR, is an architect, designer, and educator, whose projects and research investigate the intersections between architecture, technology, and the public realm. Prior to joining the faculty at AAP, Yoon was at MIT for 17 years and served as the head of the Department of Architecture from 2014–18. Yoon is cofounding principal of Höweler and Yoon Architecture. 

Kristin Hass is associate professor of American culture and faculty coordinator for the Humanities Collaboratory at the University of Michigan.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Semester in Detroit

Racism has been declared a public Health emergency, but this has been given little analytic content. "Structural racism and public health: A way forward?" takes up this challenge. Professor Peter Hammer explores the relationship between spatial-structural racism and the social and economic determinants of health. Water shutoffs in Detroit are taken as a case study. Monica Lewis Patrick, Dr. Nadia Gaber and Dr. Emily Kutil lift up the work of the We The People of Detroit Community Research Collaborative. They will discuss the geography of water shutoffs in Detroit, including new research about how shutoffs have shaped the COVID-19 pandemic. Martina Guzman, the Damon J. Keith Civil Rights Center Racial Equity Media Fellow provides a global perspective juxtaposing water shutoffs in Detroit and South Africa.

How to Go Beyond Diversity and Achieve Equity and Inclusion in Academia (February 11, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80487 80487-20728306@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 11, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

RSVP here to receive Zoom link: cew.umich.edu/events/cewinspire-workshop-how-to-go-beyond-diversity-and-achieve-equity-and-inclusion-in-academia

The main objective of this workshop is for participants (faculty, students, administration, and staff) to develop a personal connection with the plight of racial-ethnic and sexual minorities in institutions of higher education. This work is needed for the advancement of individual and institutional empathy so that we can move from tolerating to accepting to celebrating underrepresented minorities in academia. This will be achieved by encouraging workshop participants to identify instances: in their own lives in which structural prejudice and bigotry and individual-level macroaggressions hampered their career development; in which they intentionally and/or unintentionally contributed to advancing structural prejudice and bigotry and/or perpetrated individual-level macroaggressions that may have hampered the career of underrepresented faculty, students, administration, and staff; and in which they were bystanders who did not intervene to dismantle structural prejudice and bigotry and/or address individual-level macroaggressions that they witnessed.

Format: This hands-on workshop will include:
A. A short lecture whose content will include Pinto’s personal experiences and personal examples of the dynamics listed above. This will be reinforced with statistics (e.g., disparities in tenure and promotion), and anecdotes from other minority individuals.

B. Following the lecture, Pinto, in collaboration with other actors, will use Theater of the Oppressed (Port: Teatro dos Oprimidos) techniques to model skits reflecting each of the instances listed above. Skits will be scripted such that the ending of each story will be decided by participants in small groups with an eye toward actions they can take to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in the academic space. (Boal A. (1979). Theatre of the Oppressed. New York, NY: Theater Communications Group).

C. Following small group discussions, all participants will reconvene to discuss strategies for welcoming underrepresented minorities into their social networks. This portion of the workshop will help participants to understand how they can help underrepresented minorities develop social capital by lending their social support: emotional, concrete, and informational.

Rogério Pinto accepting on behalf of the Faculty Allies for Diversity Committee: Born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Rogério M. Pinto is a professor and associate dean for research at the University of Michigan School of Social Work. He is the co-chair of the Faculty Allies for Diversity Committee. In his work, Pinto focuses on finding academic, sociopolitical, and cultural venues for broadcasting voices of oppressed individuals and groups. Funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, his community-engaged research focuses on the impact of interprofessional collaboration on the delivery of evidence-based services to marginalized racial/ethnic and sexual minority individuals. Funded by the University of Michigan Office of Research, as a new scholarly pursuit, he is building an art installation, The Realm of the Dead, to investigate his own personal marginalization as a gender non-confirming, mixed-race, and Latinx immigrant. This installation will serve as the stage set for Pinto’s award-winning theatrical performance, Marília, a one-person play, in which Pinto further explores the tragic death of his 3-year old sister, Marília, and how such loss haunts and inspires the lives of the family members she left behind. Marília won the 2015 United Solo Festival Best Documentary Script and it will be performed again at the University of Michigan as part of the centennial celebration of the School of Social Work.
