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

Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.

Take Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. What belongs in a permanent collection, and why? Who and what should be represented, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen, who has gathered more than 60,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  

Vote for your favorite pictures: Saturday, September 21, 2019 – Sunday, January 12, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday, January 14 – Sunday, February 23, 2020

Support for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film, Television, and Media.

Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of educational entertainment known to mankind. From the West African tradition of the Griot to modern day Moth events, storytelling environments have served as a means to pass along history, shape culture, share helpful lessons, and establish a sense of belonging and community.

The U-M Comprehensive Studies Program and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies invite you to explore themes related to campus life, coming of age, and learning and growing, at this series of Moth Style Storyteller Lounge events. Storytellers include students, faculty and staff, and Voices of Wisdom (alums or community members).

Art Exhibition: The Indexical Print, curated by Andrew Thompson (February 12, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70309 70309-17566449@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 12, 2020 10:00am

“...pronouns announce themselves as belonging to a different type of sign: the kind that is termed the index. As distinct from symbols, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”
Krauss, Rosalind, “Notes on the Index” 1977

Notes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or, as more broadly described, ‘the referent’ of the work.

Under the guise of “the index”, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”

For this exhibition, The Indexical Print, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate, or a digital image, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor.

Featured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.

About the Artists:

Cathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology/Russian. She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018, when she resigned to pursue her art, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Jason J Ferguson uses humor, the uncanny, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions, performance, video, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany, the Netherlands, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.

Jay Fox is a printmaker, papermaker, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton, North Carolina, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print, Letterpress, Books, and Paper coordinator.

Ruth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts, the Society of North American Goldsmiths, the Mondriaan Foundation, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She studied at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art.

CREES Noon Lecture. Terroir, Ecological Stewardship, and Heritage Politics in the Bulgarian Wine Industry (February 12, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71275 71275-17794081@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 12, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

Bulgaria is arguably one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world, and built a large, highly industrialized and export-oriented wine sector during state socialism as a wine-producing specialist of COMECON (the economic alliance of Soviet allies). When socialism collapsed in 1989, the wine industry faced multiple challenges, including the accepted international hierarchy of wine-producing countries through which Bulgarian wines then became understood and marketed. In this talk, I examine the contestations over the idea of *terroir* (a taste of place) among Bulgarian wine professionals to understand how wine is involved in heritage projects. As new resources and opportunities became available through EU heritage politics in which wine traditions became a central piece of the heritage industry and of agricultural and rural development, these debates highlight diverse meanings of ecological stewardship in light of heritage preservation. Understanding wine as a cultural heritage raises important questions of whose and which past is worthy of preservation, and why. The tensions within the Bulgarian wine industry, namely reconciling the cultural pride of winemaking heritage with a competitive hierarchical global wine market, illustrate the multi-faceted aspects of culture, ecology, and politics in the era of post-Cold War globalization.

Yuson Jung is associate professor of anthropology at Wayne State University. Her research explores issues of consumption, food politics, globalization, and postsocialism. She is the author of "Balkan Blues: Consumer Politics after State Socialism" (Indiana University Press, 2019) which examines everyday consumer experience in postsocialist Bulgaria. She has also co-edited (with Jakob Klein and Melissa Caldwell) "Ethical Eating in the Postsocialist and Socialist World" (University of California Press, 2014). Currently, she is working on a book project entitled "The Cultural Politics of Wine: Globalization, Heritage, and the Transformation of the Bulgarian Wine Industry," as well as on a collaborative research project (with Andrew Newman) regarding food politics and urban governance in Detroit.

This lecture is part of the WCEE environment series.

The last decade marked the development of a new kind of powerful research laser that can deliver a trillion 1-Angstrom x-rays in a femtosecond or even less. This x-ray free-electron laser is revolutionizing the way scientists observe dynamics on the quantum scale in the laboratory. We are beginning to learn how to track the relative motion of atoms inside molecules. Professor Bucksbaum will discuss the current efforts and future opportunities to employ these sources for molecular movies.

GLACE (Great Lakes Arts, Cultures, and Environments) is a new, interdisciplinary humanities program held in Northern Michigan during the Spring half-term. UM faculty and other instructors teach four interconnected, two-credit courses: two in English, one in Anthropology, and one in American Culture.

The program takes place at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS), a research campus situated on Douglas Lake, amid 10,000 undeveloped acres in Pellston, Michigan. From May 11-June 13, 2020, a small cohort of students will work closely with four faculty exploring such concepts as “place,” “natural history,” and “cultural identity” through an engagement not only with literary and other texts but also, in hands-on ways, with the local landscape and its inhabitants, ecologies, and histories.

Art Exhibition: The Indexical Print, curated by Andrew Thompson (February 14, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70309 70309-17566451@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 14, 2020 10:00am

“...pronouns announce themselves as belonging to a different type of sign: the kind that is termed the index. As distinct from symbols, indexes establish their meaning along the axis of a physical relationship to their referents.”
Krauss, Rosalind, “Notes on the Index” 1977

Notes on the Index was Rosalind Krauss’s attempt to corral some of the divergent, pluralistic themes in contemporary art of the late 1970’s under a unifying identifier: the index. Indexical art was defined as artworks whose physical and aesthetic manifestation was correlated and contingent upon specific conditions of the work’s subject matter or, as more broadly described, ‘the referent’ of the work.

Under the guise of “the index”, the artist’s internal monologue of creative decision-making might follow like: “How big should the work be? As big as that.” “How much should the work cost? As much as this.” “What color should I use? The color of that.” “What shape should it be? It should be shaped like this.”

For this exhibition, The Indexical Print, Krauss’s notion of indexical art is being narrowed towards printmaking and other methods of image replication & reproduction that follow printmaking’s lead. The artists in this exhibition might work a plate, or a digital image, or computer code to conduct the idea of the image into another medium or visual representation to physically manifest their creative labor.

Featured in this exhibition are prints by Jay Fox, Ruth Koelewyn & Lee Marchalonis, 3D printed sculptures by Jason Ferguson, jacquard weaving from Cathryn Amidei, data visualizations by Jeffrey Lancaster and site-specific paintings from Ellen Rutt.

About the Artists:

Cathryn Amidei is a “Textilian” fluent in many forms of textile craft. She has dedicated herself to Jacquard weaving for the past 15+ years and is the studio director at The Jacquard Center in Hendersonville North Carolina. Cathryn holds an MFA in Textiles from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA from the University of Illinois in Anthropology/Russian. She was Associate Professor at Eastern Michigan University until 2018, when she resigned to pursue her art, and independence. Cathryn is a member of the Washington Street Gallery in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Jason J Ferguson uses humor, the uncanny, and an absurdist voice to create public interventions, performance, video, and sculptural objects. He was raised in the small town of Poolesville, Maryland and moved to Baltimore to study art at Towson University and then to the University of Delaware where he received his MFA. Ferguson has exhibited his work internationally including exhibitions in Germany, the Netherlands, Brazil and across the US. Ferguson is an Associate Professor in the School of Art & Design at Eastern Michigan University.

Jay Fox is a printmaker, papermaker, and sculptor whose practice is guided by storytelling and objects of importance which take the form of ephemera and memorials. Originally from Morganton, North Carolina, Fox received his BFA in printmaking from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008. In 2014, he received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Print and Narrative Forms. Jay is currently the press manager of the Small Craft Advisory Press at Florida State University after five years of working at Penland School of Craft as the Print, Letterpress, Books, and Paper coordinator.

Ruth Koelewyn's work uses familiar objects and events to reveal how our interactions with them shape ourselves and our context for living. In addition to her solo work, her practice includes both curatorial and collaborative projects. Ruth’s work is regularly exhibited and has been supported by the Pennsylvania Council of the Arts, the Society of North American Goldsmiths, the Mondriaan Foundation, and the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. She studied at Syracuse University and Cranbrook Academy of Art.

Jeffrey Lancaster has done a lot of different things and worn a number of very different hats: chemist, artist, historian, librarian, developer, educator. He’s a curious person with a breadth and depth of interests and experiences, and loves to bring that diversity of thought to bear on new problems, some of his own making and some from other people. He has a BFA from Washington University, an MS from Oxford, and a PhD from Columbia University in chemistry. Lancaster is based in Rutherford, NJ where he freelances as a product developer and educational & business consultant. He is co-founder and chief technology officer of Fondo, a startup focused on helping young people visualize their paths into the future of work via structured serendipity and exploration.

Ellen Rutt is a Detroit-based interdisciplinary artist and activist who has a BFA from the Stamps School of Art & Design. She makes bold mixed-media paintings, murals, installations and wearables. Her recent solo show ‘This Must Be The Place” was created in large part through a process of travelling the globe & capturing visual elements or ‘environmental mementos’ through direct tracing of the physical environment, both natural & human-made. Rutt has exhibited her work nationally and most recently completed her second artist residency at Temple Children in Hilo, Hawaii.

About the Curator:

Andrew Thompson is a sculptor and installation artist, educator, curator, and musician based in Southwest Detroit.

Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.

Take Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. What belongs in a permanent collection, and why? Who and what should be represented, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen, who has gathered more than 60,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!

The Role of Creative Media in Hong Kong Protests (February 18, 2020 7:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/72963 72963-18107870@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 18, 2020 7:00am
Location: Pierpont Commons
Organized By: Hong Kong Human Rights Concern Group

Creative media became a form of passive protest and connected people who shared the same emotions during social unrest in Hong Kong. In this exhibition, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement.

Since June, protests have been ongoing in Hong King, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations, over two million Hongkongers, which is more than a quarter of the population, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note, however, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces, music, videos, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement.

After 2/12, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

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

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

About the talk:
Hierarchy is the most ubiquitous way in which human beings organize social interactions. However, hierarchy comes with substantial downsides in terms of inequities and conflicts. As a result, organizations have explored flatter modes of organizing, such as holacracy, which unfortunately have yet to yield much success. In this presentation, Greer will explore the possibility that hierarchy may still be the most effective form of organization but needs to be used wisely. She will discuss data-driven strategies which can allow hierarchy to be a useful and positive organizational tool, including helping leaders learn how to ‘flex’ the hierarchy for bursts of flatness, to humanize the hierarchy through sharing emotions at work, and to reduce competitions around hierarchy by creating areas of individual ownership and autonomy.

About Greer:
Lindy Greer is an Associate Professor of Management and Organizations at Michigan Ross and the Faculty Director of the Sanger Leadership Center. Her research focuses on how to lead effective organizational teams with specific interests in leadership skills in conflict management, diversity and inclusion, vision crafting, and the communication of emotions.

Lindy has published in top management and psychology research outlets such as Academy of Management Journal, Organization Science, Journal of Applied Psychology, Science, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, among others.

The Role of Creative Media in Hong Kong Protests (February 19, 2020 7:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/72963 72963-18107871@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 19, 2020 7:00am
Location: Pierpont Commons
Organized By: Hong Kong Human Rights Concern Group

Creative media became a form of passive protest and connected people who shared the same emotions during social unrest in Hong Kong. In this exhibition, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement.

Since June, protests have been ongoing in Hong King, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations, over two million Hongkongers, which is more than a quarter of the population, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note, however, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces, music, videos, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement.

After 2/12, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

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

Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.

Take Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. What belongs in a permanent collection, and why? Who and what should be represented, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen, who has gathered more than 60,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  

Vote for your favorite pictures: Saturday, September 21, 2019 – Sunday, January 12, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday, January 14 – Sunday, February 23, 2020

Support for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film, Television, and Media.

How Is Esports Building a Billion-Dollar Empire? (February 21, 2020 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72732 72732-18068367@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 21, 2020 5:30pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Michigan China Forum

What comes to your mind when you hear the word “Esports”? A billion-dollar empire being built? Causes of addiction and violence? Having come a long way from video gaming, Esports has evolved into a global phenomenon even though controversies persist.

Research shows that 65% of 8-12 years old teenagers play video games for more than 2 hours per day. About 41% of boys think they have spent too much time on video games. Being addicted to video games is only one of many reasons that people are against Esports. From many adults’ perspective, violent, bloody elements in video games are likely to negatively affect teenagers. Hence, Esports is an industry bearing prejudice and stereotypes.

However, as a burgeoning industry, Esports is gaining massive popularity across the globe in recent years. According to Newzoo, revenues of the global Esports industry exceeded $1.1 billion in 2019, which is an increase of 26.7% over the previous year. Asia-Pacific sees the highest proportion of Esports viewership (57%) and the major growth is being witnessed in China. North America is once again the largest Esports market where the major share is contributed by the United States. With more investors, favorable policies, and the potential access to the Olympics, Esports, a new era “gold rush” is redefining the world of games.

From game development, to corporate social responsibility, to higher education, how should Esports navigate the controversies? What factors have contributed to the rise of Esports? What is the future of this industry? Come join us at the Esports panel discussion with Professor Katherine Babiak, Professor Austin Yarger, Ph.D. student Luis Velazquez, Arbor eSports’ president Alexander Ball, and UM Esports program manager Cybbi Barton.

Crystalline forms of matter, from ice to diamond, are highly ordered with atoms lined up neatly in rows. Do these crystals have low or high entropy? We are taught that entropy implies disorder, so crystals must have low entropy...or do they? In this talk, find out how some ordered crystal phases of matter can have more entropy than their disordered phases, and why this matters.

Cohen, who has gathered more than 60,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  

Support for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Department of Film, Television, and Media, and Department of American Culture.

The Role of Creative Media in Hong Kong Protests (February 24, 2020 7:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/72963 72963-18107876@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 24, 2020 7:00am
Location: Pierpont Commons
Organized By: Hong Kong Human Rights Concern Group

Creative media became a form of passive protest and connected people who shared the same emotions during social unrest in Hong Kong. In this exhibition, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement.

Since June, protests have been ongoing in Hong King, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations, over two million Hongkongers, which is more than a quarter of the population, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note, however, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces, music, videos, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement.

After 2/12, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

For students dreaming of careers in science, technology, engineering and math fields, at public research universities like the U-M, introductory courses in these subjects are the first steps on a path to a STEM degree.

The class sizes are huge. They also can be challenging, causing many students to stumble on these first steps.

As a result, students often shift course, abandoning their dreams of working in a STEM discipline, researchers say.

University of Michigan Engineering is excited to welcome Dr. Timothy McKay to our DEI lecture series for the month of February. His lecture will be focused on the Sloan Equity and Inclusion in STEM Introductory Courses (SEISMIC) project – a multi-university initiative to tackle equity and inclusion in STEM.

He will discuss ways that institutions can collaborate to ensure courses are diverse, equitable and inclusive for students.

How do you think about the experiences of freedom among black people in Brazil before the end of slavery in 1888? Interested in this question, this lecture presents a reflection on the experiences of free and literate black men, who were active in the press, as well as in the political-cultural landscape of the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in the second half of the nineteenth century. Ferreira de Menezes, Luiz Gama, Machado de Assis, José do Patrocinio, Ignacio de Araújo Lima, Arthur Carlos and Theophilo Dias de Castro are the central subjects in this narrative, along with so many other “free men of color” who sought in different ways to conquer and maintain their spaces in the public debate about the Brazil’s paths, while relying on the sustainability of their own individual projects. Against the grain of “ race hatred” daily practices, they not only contributed to debates on daily, abolitionist, black and literary newspapers, but also led the creation of resistance, confrontation and dialogue tools and mechanisms.

Ana Flávia Magalhães Pinto is an adjunct professor in the Department of History at the University of Brasília. She received her PhD in History from the State University of Campinas, her MA in History from the University of Brasília, and her BA in Journalism from The University Center of Brasília. Pinto has developed research articulating knowledge in the areas of History, Communication, Literature and Education, with an emphasis on political-cultural performance of black thinkers, black press, abolitionism and experiences of black freedom and citizenship in the slavery period and post-abolition in Brazil and elsewhere in the African Diaspora.

This lecture will take place on Monday, March 9, at 4:00pm in 1014 Tisch Hall.

Folkloric dance and music festivals draw in diverse audiences, entertaining participants and instilling a sense of pride in Canadian multiculturalism as a national trait. Folklorama lays claim to being the longest running and largest multicultural festival of its kind in the world, and it is one that relies heavily on community groups more than well known performers. What can an examination of the festival tell us about Canadian national self-narratives? And is it possible to negotiate the complexities of difference and identity politics by engaging in music and dance?

The Center for World Performance Studies Faculty Lecture Series features our Faculty Fellows and visiting scholars and practitioners in the fields of ethnography and performance. Designed to create an informal and intimate setting for intellectual exchange among students, scholars, and the community, faculty are invited to present their work in an interactive and performative fashion.

How do Indigenous objects in museum collections speak to those who collect, curate, observe, and claim them?  The observable materials and patterns of construction obviously reflect particular ecosystems, cultures, and technologies, but do these objects also retain memories of the artisans who created them?  Do they wield more than just imagined meaning or distributed agency?  In this talk, Dr. Bruchac discusses strategies for recovering object histories through material analyses, consultation, and critical re-assessments of imposed museological categories (e.g., art, artifact, utilitarian, etc.) that may have distanced objects from their origins and isolated them from others like themselves.  Case histories will feature new research into iconic creations – such as a 17th century wooden war club embedded with re-purposed wampum beads, and a shell band wampum belt with a single glass bead – that function as "object witnesses" to entangled colonial settler/Indigenous encounters.  Through her practice of "reverse ethnography," Bruchac will reveal how, in many cases, memories can be reawakened when otherwise mysterious objects are reconnected with the stories, ecosystems, knowledges, and communities that created them.  Object histories can also be recovered by tracking the desires and actions of non-Indigenous curators and collectors who transported these objects and stories to physically and conceptually distant locales.   Dr. Margaret M. Bruchac is an Associate Professor of Anthropology, Coordinator of Native American and Indigenous Studies, and Associate Faculty in the Penn Cultural Heritage Center at the University of Pennsylvania.  Her new book, "Savage Kin: Indigenous Informants and American Anthropologists," was the winner of the 2018 Council for Museum Anthropology Book Award.

Positive Links Speaker Series
Is it Really Better to Give than Receive?
Wayne Baker

Wednesday, March 11, 2020
4:00-5:00 p.m.
This event will only be live web streamed.

Follow the stream here: http://myumi.ch/518e2

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

About the talk:
The greatest barrier to generosity isn't that people are unwilling or unable to help, but that people don't ask for what they need. Requests drive the giving-receiving cycle. Drawing on his new book, All You Have To Do Is Ask, Baker describes the four asking-giving styles, how to assess your style, how to overcome the obstacles to asking, how to make effective requests, and how to figure out who to ask. He will present several tools that individuals, teams, and organizations use to create a robust culture of workplace generosity. In-person attendees will have the opportunity to use the tools in real time.

About Baker:
Wayne Baker is Robert P. Thome Professor of Business Administration and Professor of Management & Organizations at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. He is also Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan and Faculty Associate at the Institute for Social Research. He currently serves as Faculty Director of the Center for Positive Organizations.

His teaching and research focus on social capital, social networks, generosity, positive organizational scholarship, and values. His management and leadership articles appear in venues such as Harvard Business Review, Chief Executive Magazine, and Sloan Management Review. His latest book, All You Have To Do Is Ask, will be published in January 2020.

He puts his knowledge into practice as a frequent guest speaker, management consultant, and as an advisor and board member of Give and Take Inc., developers of the Givitas collaborative technology platform.

Prior to joining the Michigan faculty, he was on the faculty at the University of Chicago business school. He earned his PhD in sociology from Northwestern University and was a post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard University.

Host:

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Comparative Literature

This event has been canceled. Plans to postpone are TBD.


CLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization, visibility, and media surrounding the movement of bodies, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms, through its various manifestations in the arts, critical theory, and new media.

We are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence, imperialism and body politics. Her films, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence, the Israel-Palestine conflict, civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film "Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer, Great Lakes South.

As part of the conference, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

Please join us for a lunchtime discussion of the pre-circulated paper:

“Suing for an Enslaved Woman’s Child in the Nineteenth-Century Río de la Plata”

This article traces the history of Petrona, an enslaved woman sold in Santa Fe (Argentina), sent to Buenos Aires and later possibly to Montevideo (Uruguay). Her case demonstrates how the legal status of enslaved persons was affected by the redefinitions of jurisdictions and by the forced or voluntary crossings between political units. It sheds light on the circulation and uses of the Free Womb law (1813) in Argentina and Uruguay and traces legal experts’ debates over its meaning. And it reveals the knowledge enslaved people had of those abolitionist norms and how they used them to resist forced relocations, attempt favorable migrations, or achieve full freedom. The article reflects on the impact of independence on enslaved persons’ lives, the gendered bias of the abolitionist process, and the
central yet untold uses of antislavery rhetoric in the national narratives.

The article will be circulated in advance of the event; please contact Elizabeth Collins (elizabac@umich.edu) to obtain a copy.

Magdalena Candioti is Associate Researcher of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Research (CONICET) at the Instituto de Historia Argentina y Americana “Dr Emilio Ravignani” and Associate Professor in the Department of Humanities and Sciences, Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Argentina. Candioti’s doctoral research focused on the political history of justice in the nineteenth-century Río de la Plata, resulting in the book Un maldito derecho: leyes, jueces y derecho en la Buenos Aires republicana, 1810–1830 (Buenos Aires, Didot). She is currently working on a book on gradual abolition in the Río de la Plata (1810-1860) called El tiempo de los libertos. Esclavitud y abolición en el Río de la Plata. Candioti was a visiting fellow in ILAS-Columbia University, NYC (2010-2011), and Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History (MPIeR), Frankfurt, Germany (2014). In 2014, she was awarded a scholarship by the Slicher van Bath DeJong Foundation, CEDLA (Holland) to conduct comparative research on slavery in Santa Fe and Buenos Aires. Currently, she is a Fulbright fellow at the Afro-Latin American Research Institute at Harvard University.

Ángela Pérez-Villa is an Assistant Professor of History and Gender and Women’s Studies at Western Michigan University. Her research and teaching focus on the social, legal, and gender history of Latin America, particularly Colombia. Currently, she is working on a book manuscript that examines how during Colombia’s war of independence, political power and legal practice were disputed and reconfigured locally on the terrains of family, sexuality, and gender.

Organized By: CEW+

The workshop is from 2-3:30, followed by a networking reception until 4:00. RSVP requested online at: cew.umich.edu/events/cew-inspire-workshop-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 anyplace. 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.

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. She also teaches a seminar for the students in MCSP, is a member of the Association of Black Professionals, Faculty, Administrators, and Staff at U-M; and serves on the Advisory Board for the University Outreach Council.

Arabesque Dance Troupe, a U-M Student organization, brings focus to Middle Eastern and North African Culture through artmaking. “Arab Expressions” brings these art forms together for a yearly celebration. Arabesque will perform an excerpt from this concert, highlighting their history, culture and experiences. 

Iraqi Student Association (ISA) aims to promote and raise awareness of Iraqi and Middle Eastern culture. The association strives to bring the Iraqi community together while educating the student population at the University of Michigan on topics within the Iraqi and Middle Eastern society. ISA will invite the audience to join in learning “Chobi”, a traditional dance performed at public events and weddings. *Audience Participation Optional 

Queer Artist Collective, an organization founded by dance majors Alana ​Packo and Rose Janusiak, aims to create a space where Queer artists from any craft can establish community. Their latest work, “An Exploration of Intimacy in Queer Friendship," asks the question how can two people of the same sexuality develop a friendship of deep intimacy despite the prospect of attraction?  

This program is funded by University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theatre and Dance, with support from the University of Michigan Museum of Art.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Over the past few years, “culture wars” have been ignited across the country. Activists from all points of the political spectrum, even the President of the United States himself, are turning to beloved cultural objects to stake a claim for their differing beliefs in a politically fraught moment.

What is at stake in the ways we understand culture and cultural conflict? High Stakes Culture, a series presented by the Institute for the Humanities and the Humanities Collaboratory, brings humanities perspectives to bear on current debates.

Featuring Alexandra Stern (American culture, history, women's studies, and obstetrics and gynecology), Ian Shin (American culture), and Yi-Li Wu (women's studies, history) with Angela Dillard (Afroamerican and African studies, Residential College) as moderator.

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Having survived their youth and entered maturity, OLLI members will appreciate the affirming and instructive book, "The Second Mountain - The Quest for a Moral Life", which we will read and discuss.
Author and New York Times columnist David Brooks has moved from strictly political and government issues to spending much of his time studying human values and behaviors, while he has climbed the second mountain of life. The second mountain holds experiences that are really worthwhile, not the things other people tell them to want. They move from self-centered to other-centered.
They embrace a life of interdependence, not independence. They take on commitment. Gerry Lapidus has lead more than 50 OLLI book discussion classes. Please read through pg. 26 (Intro, sections 1-3) for the first meeting. The Study Group for those 50 and over is held Mondays March 30 through May 11 (no class April 6).

From dissidents to villains to superheroes, how are Muslim characters written--and how does the public read them--in comic books today? This workshop explores the roles open to Muslim characters in serialized comics and graphic novels. The medium of serialized comics, commercialized in the twentieth century by mainstream comics publishers such as Marvel and DC, and epitomized by their respective superhero universes, has long been associated with a lack of racial and religious diversity, the sexualization of female characters, and a reader base that is stereotypically young, male, and white. Minority characters were often limited to tokenized villains or sidekicks designed for comic relief. But the contemporary young Muslim female superhero Ms. Marvel symbolizes a comics landscape that is changing. In the contexts of the Gulf Wars, 9/11, the Arab Spring, the Palestinian conflict, ongoing civil unrest in the Middle East, and worldwide refugee migrant crises, writers and artists from the Muslim and Arab worlds, and others writing journalistically and historically about those locales, are at the forefront of graphic medium literary production.

Graphic novels and comics by and about Muslims and Arabs comprise a growing and distinctive narrative strain within comics studies—one that this workshop of comics and Muslim and Arab Studies artists and scholars seeks to investigate.

Keynote speaker and Eisner Award-winning comics artist and science fiction and fantasy author Saladin Ahmed (*Throne of the Crescent Moon*, *Miles Morales: Spider-Man*, *Black Bolt*, *Exiles*) will speak about his new work for Marvel and other enterprises.

Chris Gavaler (*On the Origin of Superheroes: From the Big Bang to Action Comics No. 1*, 2015) explores the Islamicist history of the 20th-century superhero.

Esra Mirze Santesso (*Disorientation: Muslim Identity in Contemporary Anglophone Literature*, 2013) discusses human rights discourse in narratives of war and dissidence in Iran and Kashmir.

Karla Mallette (*European Modernity and the Arab Mediterranean*, 2010) reports on resistance to Muslim and other minority identity politics from some comics readers.

Aliyah Khan (*Far from Mecca: Globalizing the Muslim Caribbean*, 2020) examines orientalist representations of Muslim female superheroes.

The presenters bring postcolonial, decolonial, comics studies, and historicizing methodologies to bear on understanding commonalities and differences among Islamic, Muslim, and Arab graphic narratives, reading them as transnational works that, as many of their subjects do, cross borders and resist authoritarian states.

Stories in Stone (April 8, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70840 70840-17660830@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 8, 2020 10:00am

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

There is no single site in the community that tells its story with more drama than the cemetery. It is the one place where we can trace our ‘roots’ in what is becoming a ‘rootless’ society. There are pioneers, the rich and famous lying side by side with the poor and not so famous. There are scoundrels and saints, infants and centenarians. Each gravestone has a story to tell. Traveling from Alaska to Key West, from Hawaii to Canada, from New Zealand to England we have found examples of the myriad of burial customs and examples of symbolism on gravestones. Instructor Rochelle Balkam wishes to encourage communities to focus on one of their most significant resources - the local cemetery.

Witness Lab Simulation: Mock Trial With Professor Jatin Dua's U-M Law And Culture Class (April 14, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73783 73783-18315755@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 14, 2020 1:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

This class interaction with the Witness Lab project is open to the public for observation. Seating is limited. Visit our page for an ever-evolving list of opportunities to see the project in action. 

Designed as a courtroom installation and a performance series by Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Courtney McClellan, Witness Lab frames witnessing as a social and artistic act. The gallery collapses courtroom, theater, classroom, laboratory, and artist studio in order to study the relationship between performance and law. Public programs, classes, and mock trial performances investigate who plays the role of the witness in our society, and help us to understand truth within our legal system.

In her investigation of America’s courts, McClellan’s practice engages K-12 and university classes across a spectrum of disciplines including law, drama, and anthropology, among others. 

Due to the nature of the project, the schedule for all Witness Lab events and simulations are subject to change without notice and changes may not always be reflected in online listings.

Witness Lab is presented in partnership with the Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence Program of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, with lead support provided by the University of Michigan Law School and Office of the Provost.

Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of educational entertainment known to mankind. From the West African tradition of the Griot to modern day Moth events, storytelling environments have served as a means to pass along history, shape culture, share helpful lessons, and establish a sense of belonging and community.

The U-M Comprehensive Studies Program and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies invite you to explore themes related to campus life, coming of age, and learning and growing, at this series of Moth Style Storyteller Lounge events. Storytellers include students, faculty and staff, and Voices of Wisdom (alums or community members). 

Value the Voice is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Museum of Art.

The International Institute's Islamophobia Working Group and the Muslim Students' Association have transformed our planned in-person Ramadan iftars into completely remote events and resources! Our website (http://bit.ly/ramadan-umich) contains information, activities, and programming, including “Zoom Into Ramadan” gatherings every Monday and Thursday from 7-7:30pm during the month of Ramadan (approximately April 23 to May 23, 2020). As with our in-person iftars, the programming is open to all, both Muslims and non-Muslims. We hope that our iftars and allyship initiatives will establish an enduring tradition of community and inclusion, creating a model for other universities and inspiring similar community educational initiatives during the holidays of other U-M religious minorities.

The International Institute's Islamophobia Working Group and the Muslim Students' Association have transformed our planned in-person Ramadan iftars into completely remote events and resources! Our website (http://bit.ly/ramadan-umich) contains information, activities, and programming, including “Zoom Into Ramadan” gatherings every Monday and Thursday from 7-7:30pm during the month of Ramadan (approximately April 23 to May 23, 2020). As with our in-person iftars, the programming is open to all, both Muslims and non-Muslims. We hope that our iftars and allyship initiatives will establish an enduring tradition of community and inclusion, creating a model for other universities and inspiring similar community educational initiatives during the holidays of other U-M religious minorities.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Detroit has emerged as an epicenter of the crisis. To date, more than 1300 Detroiters have died from a coronavirus infection and 43 percent of city residents have lost their jobs. In this ISR Insights talk, Jeffrey Morenoff (Professor, Sociology and Public Policy; Director, Population Studies Center) and Lydia Wileden (PhD Candidate, Sociology and Public Policy; Population Studies Center trainee) will discuss efforts by the Detroit Metro Area Communities Study -- a panel study of more than 1100 Detroiters -- to capture the real-time experiences of Detroiters and share insights from two survey waves on the dramatic financial precarity facing many Detroit households and the behavioral and economic changes residents are making to get by.

The present crisis often is described as and feels unprecedented. What can historical thinking, with its focus on precedents, contribute to our coming to terms with the COVID-19 pandemic?

This remote event is presented in webinar format via Zoom and will be recorded for internal purpose only.

Jacqueline Antonovich is a historian of US health and medicine at Muhlenberg College. She also is the co-founder and executive editor of Nursing Clio, a peer-reviewed blog project that ties historical scholarship to present-day issues related to gender, health, and medicine.

Powel Kazanjian is the director of the AIDS Program and a member of the History faculty at the University of Michigan. As a historian, he is interested in and has published on the history of bacteriology, epidemics, and sexually transmitted diseases.

Dr. Linda Dzuris (BM '92, MM '93, DMA '98) opens our annual summer carillon series on the 60-bell Lurie Carillon with a program ranging from "Lift Every Voice and Sing" to "Pictures at an Exhibition."

Dr. Dzuris became Clemson’s first University Carillonneur in 1999 and is a Professor of Music in the Department of Performing Arts. Additionally, Dzuris is a performance instructor of the North American Carillon School. She received her B.M., M.M., and D.M.A. degrees in organ performance and church music from the University of Michigan. Carillon study was also done in Ann Arbor, with additional study at the Netherlands Carillon School in Amersfoort, the Netherlands. Dzuris is a former board member, a current adjudicator on the Associate Carillonneur Evaluation Committee, and a juror on the Carillonneur Exam Committee for the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America. She has been a featured guest artist in carillon concert series throughout the United States, the Netherlands, France, and Switzerland. In 2017, Dzuris performed concerts on behalf of the GCNA at the 19th World Carillon Federation Congress in Barcelona, Spain. American Carillon Music Editions and the Yale University Guild of Carillonneurs publish her original carillon compositions.

Concerts are free and family-friendly! We kindly ask that attendees support physical distancing practices by bringing picnic blankets and lawn chairs and responsibly spacing themselves throughout Gerstacker Grove, and preferably wearing masks when conversing with people from other households.

A “virtuoso” (HKSNA) in command of a range of expression from “eerie sonance” (Diapason) to “jumpy athleticism” (Chicago Classical Review), Dr. Tiffany Ng is Assistant Professor of Carillon at the University of Michigan. Her concert career spans festivals in seventeen countries in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America, where she has premiered over 60 acoustic and electroacoustic works, championed women composers, and pioneered models for interactive “crowdsourced” and environmental-data-driven carillon performances. She holds a doctorate in musicology and new media from the University of California, Berkeley, a master’s degree in organ from the Eastman School of Music, an artist diploma with great distinction from the Royal Carillon School in Belgium, and a bachelor’s degree from Yale.

The killing of George Floyd, in the wake of the horrific and obscene history of the killings of unarmed black people by the police, has focused attention like never before on the systemic anti-black racism of the criminal-legal system in the United States. To be sure, the massive expansion and militarization of policing and incarceration are in some ways of comparatively recent origin. Yet they also have a much deeper origin in, and are inextricably connected to, a longer history of the judicial and extra-judicial violence against black people in the continent. The racist inequities of the criminal-legal system, indeed, are not a bug, but a feature.

Our panel of experts, scholars of the United States at the University of Michigan, will help us explore, beyond the headlines, the reach of the long arm of the carceral state in society as well as the challenges and opportunities that have been thrown up by the contemporary protests against the systemic violence of the state. The stakes for understanding the working of the carceral state are documented by the Documenting Criminalization and Confinement project of the University of Michigan’s Carceral State Project. However, the momentous protests against anti-Black racism as well as the broad public support they have received both within the United States and across the world—the clamor heard round the world—have also created a novel opportunity for implementing and imagining futures beyond a blatantly rigged carceral framework.

Panelists:
• Melissa Burch, Anthropology, University of Michigan
• Matthew Countryman, Afroamerican and African History, American Culture, History, University of Michigan
• Matthew Lassiter, History, Urban and Regional Planning, University of Michigan
• William D. Lopez, Health Behavior and Health Education, University of Michigan

Moderator:
• Mrinalini Sinha, History, University of Michigan

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