Yo Tengo Nombre (September 19, 2019 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/64978 64978-16499251@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 19, 2019 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

This series of paintings was inspired by the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy and the images of migrant families being separated and detained at the US-Mexico border that dominated media outlets across the nation since the summer of 2017. The exhibition also includes nearly 100 I.D. photos of migrant children from a Texas holding center. Buentello took the photos in 2014 while working for an intake agency.

"Focusing on images from the US media sources that exposed the violence of migrants’ dehumanization, vulnerability, fear, loss, and criminalization, the paintings document the embodiment of state-authorized brutality and erasures of personhood." -Ruth Leonela Buentello

This project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

“Mobilizing ‘Blackness’: From the Haitian Revolution to Now” (September 26, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/66703 66703-16915706@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 26, 2019 11:00am
Location:
Organized By: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies

From Negritude, to the Anti-Apartheid movement, to Mizrahi Jewish claims to being Black Panthers, to Asian/African/Caribbean coalitions in the United Kingdom, to articulations by German and French youth today, this symposium will address the ways in which “Blackness” has been mobilized to make claims on state and other resources. It will engage the anti-normative forms of living Blackness has enabled. Given these histories and contemporary articulations, it asks: Who can claim Blackness? Under what conditions and with what effect can one make this claim? To what extent does claiming Blackness lead to social change? What are the conditions for coalition around claiming Blackness? Does racism persist, even amongst people of color, in spite of this coalitional claim?

The symposium is free and open to the public and will include a special screening of the documentary Whose Streets? (2018) and the short What Kind of Power Y’All Got (2016) with a Q&A with the filmmakers to follow in Lecture Hall II of the Modern Language Building on Friday, September 27 at 7 PM.

Tony S. Hsu is the grandson of Xu Zhimo. He was born in Shanghai shortly after the end of World War II. As a toddler, Hsu and his sisters were raised by his grandmother, Zhang Youyi, while his parents pursued their studies in America.

In the late 1940s, Zhang and her young charges left China amidst national political turmoil and settled in Hong Kong. At age six, Hsu and his sisters emigrated to New York to join their parents and begin a new life in America. Hsu ultimately received his bachelor’s in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan and doctorate in applied physics from Yale University. He has been an executive for several technology companies. Hsu lives with his fashion designer wife, Lily Pao Hsu, and his filmmaker daughter, Alexandra, in Southern California. Chasing the Modern is his first book.

This series of paintings was inspired by the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy and the images of migrant families being separated and detained at the US-Mexico border that dominated media outlets across the nation since the summer of 2017. The exhibition also includes nearly 100 I.D. photos of migrant children from a Texas holding center. Buentello took the photos in 2014 while working for an intake agency.

"Focusing on images from the US media sources that exposed the violence of migrants’ dehumanization, vulnerability, fear, loss, and criminalization, the paintings document the embodiment of state-authorized brutality and erasures of personhood." -Ruth Leonela Buentello

Latinx & Muslim in America (October 9, 2019 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/67741 67741-16926552@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 9, 2019 7:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Arab and Muslim American Studies (AMAS)

In honor of Latinx Heritage History Month, the Arab and Muslim American Studies Program has invited Dr. Harold D. Morales to give a lecture based on his book, Latino and Muslim in America: Race, Religion, and the Making of a New Minority, which is the first complete academic study on Latinx Muslims in the United States.

Dinner will be served!

Dr. Harold D. Morales is an Associate Professor in the department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Morgan State University where he teaches courses in religious studies and philosophy of religion. He earned his Ph.D. and M.A. in Religious Studies from the University of California Riverside and his B.A. in Philosophy from California State University Fullerton. His research focuses on the intersections between race and religion and between lived and mediated religion. He uses these critical lenses to engage Latinx religions in general and Latino Muslim groups in particular. He is the author of Latino and Muslim in America: Race, Religion, and the Making of a New Minority (2018). His work with Latino Muslim communities spans ten years of media analysis and ethnographic research in California, Texas, Georgia, Florida, New York and New Jersey.

"Latino and Muslim in America examines how so called "minority groups" are made, fragmented, and struggle for recognition in the U.S.A. The U.S. is currently poised to become the first nation whose collective minorities will outnumber the dominant population, and Latinos play no small role inthis world changing demographic shift. Even as many people view Latinos and Muslims as growing threats, Latino Muslims celebrate their intersecting identities both in their daily lives and in their mediated representations online.In this book, Harold Morales follows the lives of several Latino Muslim leaders from the 1970's to the present, and their efforts to organize and unify nationally in order to solidify the new identity group's place within the public sphere. Based on four years of ethnography, media analysis andhistorical research, Morales demonstrates how the phenomenon of Latinos converting to Islam emerges from distinctive immigration patterns and laws, urban spaces, and new media technologies that have increasingly brought Latinos and Muslims in to contact with one another. He explains this growingcommunity as part of the mass exodus out of the Catholic Church, the digitization of religion, and the growth of Islam. Latino and Muslim in America explores the racialization of religion, the framing of religious conversion experiences, the dissemination of post-colonial histories, and thedevelopment of Latino Muslim networks, to show that the categories of race, religion, and media are becoming inextricably entwined."

TRANSLATION IN A MOBILE WORLD: On language, justice and social cohesion (October 18, 2019 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/67392 67392-16846427@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 18, 2019 3:00pm

Globalization, migration, sustainable development are some of the key issues in today’s world and they appear as recurring keywords in cultural debates. The role played by languages in all of these areas, however, is often underestimated, with little attention paid to how translation and interpreting can support social cohesion and social justice in increasingly multilingual communities. Drawing on the experience of working with different constituencies, from migrant artists in the US and Australia to health specialists in Namibia and Zambia, this talk will draw attention to translation as a constitutive practice of our everyday lives and to translation awareness as a vital "citizenship skill."

Loredana Polezzi is Professor of Translation Studies in the School of Modern Languages, Cardiff University, and President of the International Association for Translation and Intercultural Studies (IATIS). Her work focuses on how geographical and social mobilities are connected to the theories and practices of translation, self-translation and multilingualism. With Rita Wilson, she is co-editor of leading international journal The Translator.

This event kicks off the annual Translate-a-thon on October 18-19 coordinated by the Language Resource Center and co-sponsored by the Department of Comparative Literature. For more information on Translate-a-thon 2019, and to register, see http://myumi.ch/J2V8B

Organized By: Interdisciplinary Workshop in American Politics

The Interdisciplinary Workshop on American Politics (IWAP) is a forum for the presentation of ongoing interdisciplinary research in American politics. Most of our presentations are given by graduate students. Each graduate student presenter is assigned a faculty and student discussant. IWAP circulates the work beforehand and the student presents it briefly at the start of the meeting. After discussant feedback, the bulk of the time is reserved for group discussion among all workshop participants. This format leads to informal yet highly interactive and productive conversations.

This series of paintings was inspired by the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy and the images of migrant families being separated and detained at the US-Mexico border that dominated media outlets across the nation since the summer of 2017. The exhibition also includes nearly 100 I.D. photos of migrant children from a Texas holding center. Buentello took the photos in 2014 while working for an intake agency.

"Focusing on images from the US media sources that exposed the violence of migrants’ dehumanization, vulnerability, fear, loss, and criminalization, the paintings document the embodiment of state-authorized brutality and erasures of personhood." -Ruth Leonela Buentello

This project is funded by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Organized By: MENA ( Middle Eastern and North African) Public Health

You are cordially invited to this year’s “Dia de Los Muertos” event taking place on November 1st from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM in the School of Public Health’s Community Room 1680. MENA (Middle Eastern and North African) Public Health, La Salud, and PHSAD (Public Health Students of African Descent) have partnered to present a Dia de Los Muertos event which is meant to commemorate all the lives lost to any discrimination or racism in the U.S. and internationally.

Dia de Los Muertos stems from Mexican traditions and originates from Aztec practices. We use this day to celebrate, not mourn, the lives of our beloved departed and rejoice by sharing ofrendas that remember the individual as they were in life. Although this festive occasion is meant to welcome our loved ones, there are many lives that were forgotten both in life and death. These lives were victimized, racialized, and prosecuted during life as a result of structural racism and exclusion. This year, we hope to raise awareness for the lives that were silenced and empower future practitioners to advocate for these communities and prevent future injustices.
We celebrate in community to provide space for the living and dead, and invite you to join us for an evening of activities, dialogue, food and performances! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

The community is invited to join the Michigan Medicine Department of Psychiatry for the 24th Annual Waggoner Lecture on Ethics & Values in Medicine. The title of this year’s talk is “Medical Ethics on the Border: A Look at Immigration Detention.” The talk will be presented by Pamela K. McPherson, M.D., FAPAon Wednesday, November 13 from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. in Ford Auditorium at University Hospital.

Pamela K. McPherson, M.D., FAPA is a medical doctor triple-boarded in general, child and adolescent, and forensic psychiatry. She is a child and adolescent psychiatrist at the Shreveport Behavioral Health Clinic, a gratis assistant professor at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, and a mental health subject matter expert for the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties at the Department of Homeland Security. Dr. McPherson focuses her research on the mental health of justice-involved youth as well as conditions of juvenile confinement, and consults for the U.S. government and non-profits on mental health services for justice-involved youth.

In 2018, she and colleague Dr. Scott A. Allen exposed the serious health risks to children who are separated from their parents and detained as part of the U.S. administration’s zero tolerance policy at the southern border. Learn more about their work from this CNN article published in May: These doctors risked their careers to expose the dangers children face in immigrant family detention.

“We are delighted to welcome Dr. McPherson to our campus in November for this esteemed lectureship,” said Debra A. Pinals, M.D., clinical professor of psychiatry and director of the Program in Psychiatry, Law and Ethics at U-M and chair of the Waggoner Lectureship Committee. “Dr. McPherson has incredible insight into the conditions of immigrants entering the United States. She could not be better suited to address our campus for this lecture devoted to medical ethics and values in medicine.”

The University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry established the Raymond W. Waggoner Lectureship on Ethics and Values in Medicine in 1996. This lectureship was created in honor of the late Dr. Waggoner, emeritus professor and past chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, who throughout his career and to all who knew him, exemplified the highest standards of integrity and ethics.

The lectureship is an annual event to recognize Dr. Waggoner’s enormous contributions to the Michigan Medicine medical center and to the profession, and to promulgate his interest in medical ethics.

Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof (American culture) and Felix Contreras (host of NPR’s Alt.Latino, https://www.npr.org/people/4607354/felix-contreras) discuss Hoffnung-Garskof's new book "Racial Migrations New York City and the Revolutionary Politics of the Spanish Caribbean." Q & A follows the conversation.

In the late nineteenth century, a small group of Cubans and Puerto Ricans of African descent settled in the segregated tenements of New York City. At an immigrant educational society in Greenwich Village, these early Afro-Latino New Yorkers taught themselves to be poets, journalists, and revolutionaries. At the same time, these individuals—including Rafael Serra, a cigar maker, writer, and politician; Sotero Figueroa, a typesetter, editor, and publisher; and Gertrudis Heredia, one of the first women of African descent to study midwifery at the University of Havana—built a political network and articulated an ideal of revolutionary nationalism centered on the projects of racial and social justice. These efforts were critical to the poet and diplomat José Martí’s writings about race and his bid for leadership among Cuban exiles, and to the later struggle to create space for black political participation in the Cuban Republic.

In Racial Migrations, Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof presents a vivid portrait of these largely forgotten migrant revolutionaries, weaving together their experiences of migrating while black, their relationships with African American civil rights leaders, and their evolving participation in nationalist political movements. By placing Afro-Latino New Yorkers at the center of the story, Hoffnung-Garskof offers a new interpretation of the revolutionary politics of the Spanish Caribbean, including the idea that Cuba could become a nation without racial divisions.

A model of transnational and comparative research, Racial Migrations reveals the complexities of race-making within migrant communities and the power of small groups of immigrants to transform their home societies.

Since the beginning of the Syrian revolution in 2011, Syrian refugees have been fleeing the brutal regime in search of safe haven. Munich, Germany, is one of the cities many Syrian refugees land after crossing unofficial borders through different European countries. Lebanese artist Tania El Khoury, and her art collective Dictaphone Group, collaborated with a group of Syrian refugees who had recently arrived in Munich. El Khoury gave each of these participants/collaborators a discreet camera for a day, their only instructions being to film their daily lives in Munich.

Since the beginning of the Syrian revolution in 2011, Syrian refugees have been fleeing the brutal regime in search of safe haven. Munich, Germany, is one of the cities many Syrian refugees land after crossing unofficial borders through different European countries. Lebanese artist Tania El Khoury, and her art collective Dictaphone Group, collaborated with a group of Syrian refugees who had recently arrived in Munich. El Khoury gave each of these participants/collaborators a discreet camera for a day, their only instructions being to film their daily lives in Munich. Together they produced three videos, presented in this installation and viewed from bunk bed barracks in the gallery.

The Best of the West: Western Americana at the Clements Library (January 17, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68495 68495-17088523@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 17, 2020 10:00am
Location: William Clements Library
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

"The Best of the West" is an exhibition of 45 printed rarities in early western Americana from the Clements Library collection. The exhibit is a tribute to antiquarian bookseller and outstanding Americanist William S. Reese (1955-2018), drawing upon Reese's 2017 book "The Best of the West" for its descriptions of the titles on display.

The books and pamphlets in the exhibition range chronologically from Miguel Venegas' 1757 "Noticia de la California" to Thomas F. Dawson & F. J. V. Skiff's 1879 "The Ute War." In between are dozens of the rarest examples of western Americana primary sources, in Spanish, French, English, and German. They include discovery and exploration narratives, 19th-century overland narratives, prints and views of Native Americans, color-plate books, gold and silver mining reports, and other glimpses of the trans-Mississippi West.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Program in International and Comparative Studies

Interested in Refugee and Asylum Law, the Fulbright Program, or the International Refugee Assistance Project? Learn from PICS alumna Nicole Khamis (BA ‘17) through her abroad experiences in Jordan and her current work at the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan. Please RSVP at the following link to attend: http://myumi.ch/51Ogy

Nicole Khamis graduated in 2017 from the University of Michigan with majors in International Studies and Middle Eastern and North African Studies. During her time as a student, Nicole founded the Michigan Refugee Assistance Program, a nonprofit organization which serves to utilize students as resources for recently resettled refugees during the global refugee crisis. In her first year as a post-graduate, Nicole was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship, and lived in Jordan while working for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees as a teacher. During her time in Jordan, Nicole also interned with the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP), where she worked as a translator and legal intern. With these experiences and exposures to the injustices and structural inequalities refugees face, Nicole hopes to go to law school in the near future and specialize in Refugee and Asylum Law. Currently, Nicole is a volunteer at the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan.

Continuing Korematsu: Our Fight in the Trump Era (January 30, 2020 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72117 72117-17939981@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 30, 2020 6:00pm
Location: Hutchins Hall
Organized By: Asian Pacific American Law Students Association

January 30th is the Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution. On February 19th, 1942, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, one of the most blatant forms of racial profiling in US history, which led to the forced removal and incarceration of over 120,000 American citizens and residents on the basis of being ethnically Japanese. Fred T. Korematsu was one of many who refused to be incarcerated, and was arrested. A national civil rights hero, Fred Korematsu appealed his case to the Supreme Court. Although the Supreme Court ruled against him in 1944, in 1983 his conviction was overturned in a coram nobis proceeding where Fred Korematsu addressed the court, saying, “I would like to see the government admit they were wrong, and do something about it so this will never happen again to any American citizen of any race, creed, or color.”

In 2014 and again in 2019, the US government attempted to reopen the Fort Sill camp to incarcerate migrant children from Latin America; Fort Sill was previously used as a concentration camp where Native Americans and Japanese Americans were detained. In June 2017, ICE agents raided and arrested Iraqi families in the Detroit area, leading to the ACLU’s lawsuit, Hamama v. Adducci. Raids on Iraqi families have continued into 2019.

On January 30th, APALSA's Political Action Committee, in partnership with the Michigan Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission and Stop Repeating History would like to invite you to attend a screening of the documentary Alternative Facts: The Lies of Executive Order 9066 by Jon Osaki, followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A led by University of Michigan Law student Kevin Luong.

This event features incredible guest speakers: Dr. Karen Korematsu, Don Tamaki, Aamina Ahmed, Mary Kamidoi, and Michael Steinberg. Free and open to the public. Food from Curry On will be provided with RSVP: bit.ly/2tfDsnu

Since the beginning of the Syrian revolution in 2011, Syrian refugees have been fleeing the brutal regime in search of safe haven. Munich, Germany, is one of the cities many Syrian refugees land after crossing unofficial borders through different European countries. Lebanese artist Tania El Khoury, and her art collective Dictaphone Group, collaborated with a group of Syrian refugees who had recently arrived in Munich. El Khoury gave each of these participants/collaborators a discreet camera for a day, their only instructions being to film their daily lives in Munich. Together they produced three videos, presented in this installation and viewed from bunk bed barracks in the gallery.

“As Far As My Fingertips Take Me” An intimate, one-to-one performance piece, presented in conjunction with UMS.

Friday, January 24 thru Sunday, February 2, performances take place every 15 minutes from 4-9 pm weekdays and 12-5 pm weekends. Tickets should be purchased in advance at https://tickets.ums.org/4613.

Concept and Video Editing: Tania El Khoury

Location: William Clements Library
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

"The Best of the West" is an exhibition of 45 printed rarities in early western Americana from the Clements Library collection. The exhibit is a tribute to antiquarian bookseller and outstanding Americanist William S. Reese (1955-2018), drawing upon Reese's 2017 book "The Best of the West" for its descriptions of the titles on display.

The books and pamphlets in the exhibition range chronologically from Miguel Venegas' 1757 "Noticia de la California" to Thomas F. Dawson & F. J. V. Skiff's 1879 "The Ute War." In between are dozens of the rarest examples of western Americana primary sources, in Spanish, French, English, and German. They include discovery and exploration narratives, 19th-century overland narratives, prints and views of Native Americans, color-plate books, gold and silver mining reports, and other glimpses of the trans-Mississippi West.

Organized By: Modern Greek Program

18th Annual Dimitris and Irmgard Pallas Modern Greek Lecture

Summary:
Since 2016, I have been carrying out an archaeological ethnography project on contemporary migration, focusing on the border island of Lesvos. In this talk, I will report on some of the findings of this project, showing how a sustained and detailed attention to the materiality and temporality of the phenomenon, to the sensorial, affective, and temporal properties of things, can offer insights that elude other kinds of research. Objects, spaces, buildings and landscapes are essential components in the formation of border assemblages, together with border crossers, volunteers, as well as border guards and security apparatuses. I will explore how the attention to such assemblages can not only help us understand what some scholars have described as the new Global Apartheid, but more positively, allow us to imagine a decolonial present and future.

Biography:
Yannis Hamilakis is Joukowsky Family Professor of Archaeology and Professor of Modern Greek Studies at Brown University. He worked previously at the Universities of Wales Lampeter (1996-2000) and the University of Southampton (2000-2016), and he has held research fellowships at Princeton University, Getty Research Institute, Cincinnati University, The Institute of Advanced Studies at Princeton, and the Remarque Institute at NYU. His research interests include Aegean prehistory, the socio-politics of the past, the bodily senses, archaeology and photography, contemporary archaeology, and the materiality of contemporary migration. His books include, The Nation and Its Ruins: Antiquity, Archaeology, and National Imagination in Greece (OUP, 2007, Edmund Keeley Book Prize 2009), and Archaeology and the Senses: Human Experience, Memory, and Affect (CUP, 2013).

The refugee crisis is arguably one of the worst humanitarian crises of our generation. So, what role does the United States play for these 25 million+ people forced to flee from their home country due to war, persecution, or violence? Through this session, learn more about the refugee resettlement process in the United States and the refugee resettlement agencies across the nation. From greeting refugees the second they step off the airplane to completing family reunification immigration applications, see how you can explore opportunities to make a seemingly distant humanitarian issue into an introspective reality.

Hometown Hero (Chink): An American Interior, by Valery Jung Estabrook, re-creates a life-size living room sewn by hand, suggestive of the artist’s history growing up in rural southwestern Virginia.The installation includes a custom upholstered recliner embellished with a Confederate Flag motif, and a plush TV emanating country music karaoke sung by the artist.The exhibition challenges the notions of heritage, Southern nationalism and “traditional” American culture, providing a window into the tensions of being a perpetual foreigner in one’s own hometown.

Reflecting on her exhibition title, Estabrook states, “The second part of the title, “Chink,” is a word that is fundamentally linked to my lifelong experience as an Asian American. Yes, it’s offensive—an incredibly painful slur. But that same pain is something that I, unfortunately, think of when I think of home. I include it because I must in order to have an honest discussion about the America that I know.”

Valery Jung Estabrook was born in Plantation, Florida, and grew up on an organic pear farm in rural southwestern Virginia. She holds an MFA in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in visual art from Brown University. Her work has been exhibited in major cities both domestically and internationally, including New York, Los Angeles, Lagos, Bilbao, and Melbourne. In 2018 she received the Gold AHL-T&W Foundation Contemporary Visual Art Award, an annual award recognizing artists of Korean heritage in the United States. She currently resides in Albuquerque and teaches experimental art at the University of New Mexico.

I include it because I must in order to have an honest discussion about the America that I know.”

"Pathways of Desire: The Sexual Migration of Mexican Gay Men" (February 20, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69536 69536-17357973@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 20, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Héctor Carrillo brings us into the lives of Mexican gay men who have left their home country to pursue greater sexual autonomy and sexual freedom in the United States. The groundbreaking ethnographic study brings our attention to the full arc of these men’s migration experiences, from their upbringing in Mexican cities and towns, to their cross-border journeys, to their incorporation into urban gay communities in American cities, and their sexual and romantic relationships with American men. These men’s diverse and fascinating stories demonstrate the intertwining of sexual, economic, and familial motivations for migration.

Professor Carrillo is the author of two books: The Night Is Young: Sexuality in Mexico in the Time of AIDS (University of Chicago Press, 2002), and Pathways of Desire: The Sexual Migration of Mexican Gay Men (University of Chicago Press, 2017). His current research investigates the sexualities of straight-identified men who are sexually interested in both women and men, as part of a larger project on the paradoxes of sexual identity as a social construction.

Carrillo serves as a member of the editorial boards of Sexuality Research and Social Policy, and Sexualidad, Salud y Sociedad: Revista Latinoamericana. He is a past chair of the Sociology of Sexualities Section of the American Sociological Association, and he served as co-chair of the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science track of the XVII International AIDS Conference. He also has a history of involvement in HIV/AIDS community based organizations.

Presented by the Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative (LGQRI).

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

Award-winning documentary film ‘Border South’ (2019, 90 min) brings together fragmented stories from Hondurans crossing through southern Mexico to assemble a vivid portrait of the thousands immigrants who disappear along the trail. Based on years of collaborative ethnographic research, this film reveals the immigrants’ resilience, ingenuity, and humor while also exposing a global migration system that renders human beings invisible in life as well as death. U-M alum, John Doering-White, who is Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Social Work at the University of South Carolina, collaborated on the film and will join for the screening and a Q&A with the audience after.

A reception will follow in the lobby of the Keene Theater.

Co-presented by the Residential College Social Theory & Practice major program and the Department of Anthropology.

"The Best of the West" is an exhibition of 45 printed rarities in early western Americana from the Clements Library collection. The exhibit is a tribute to antiquarian bookseller and outstanding Americanist William S. Reese (1955-2018), drawing upon Reese's 2017 book "The Best of the West" for its descriptions of the titles on display.

The books and pamphlets in the exhibition range chronologically from Miguel Venegas' 1757 "Noticia de la California" to Thomas F. Dawson & F. J. V. Skiff's 1879 "The Ute War." In between are dozens of the rarest examples of western Americana primary sources, in Spanish, French, English, and German. They include discovery and exploration narratives, 19th-century overland narratives, prints and views of Native Americans, color-plate books, gold and silver mining reports, and other glimpses of the trans-Mississippi West.

Organized By: International Youth and Students for Social Equality

One word is dominating the 2020 election cycle: socialism.

Donald Trump and his fascist allies declare the US “will never be a socialist country.” Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg proclaim their desire to save the Democratic Party from socialists, while Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) claim socialism means working within the Democratic Party for mild reforms. The ruling class, presiding over a society dominated by inequality, war and state repression, increasingly views socialism as an immediate threat.

The Socialist Equality Party is running in the 2020 elections to explain what socialism really means. Join the SEP’s candidates—Joseph Kishore for President and Norissa Santa Cruz for Vice President—in the historic struggle to unite all workers internationally, independent of the political parties of the ruling class. The working class is the social force that can replace capitalism with international socialism.

This town hall meeting with Joseph Kishore is part of a national series of meetings being held across the United States, hosted by the IYSSE and the SEP.

Yes, it’s offensive—an incredibly painful slur. But that same pain is something that I, unfortunately, think of when I think of home. I include it because I must in order to have an honest discussion about the America that I know.”

She holds an MFA in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in visual art from Brown University.

"Separated: Family and Community in the Aftermath of an Immigration Raid" by William D. Lopez.

Many of you may be familiar with Dr. Lopez and his work from his time in RCGD a few years ago.

The Best of the West: Western Americana at the Clements Library (March 6, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/68495 68495-17088530@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 6, 2020 10:00am
Location: William Clements Library
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

"The Best of the West" is an exhibition of 45 printed rarities in early western Americana from the Clements Library collection. The exhibit is a tribute to antiquarian bookseller and outstanding Americanist William S. Reese (1955-2018), drawing upon Reese's 2017 book "The Best of the West" for its descriptions of the titles on display.

The books and pamphlets in the exhibition range chronologically from Miguel Venegas' 1757 "Noticia de la California" to Thomas F. Dawson & F. J. V. Skiff's 1879 "The Ute War." In between are dozens of the rarest examples of western Americana primary sources, in Spanish, French, English, and German. They include discovery and exploration narratives, 19th-century overland narratives, prints and views of Native Americans, color-plate books, gold and silver mining reports, and other glimpses of the trans-Mississippi West.

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 15 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)
Sunday, March 29 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)
Sunday, April 5 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for April 26, 2020 (11:00 am) at the Ross School of Business, R-0320. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skillset to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:
http://myumi.ch/dO5Nl

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B, and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Witness Lab Simulation: Student Presentations: Immigration Courts And Judges With Professor Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof's U-M Immigration Law Class (March 18, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73685 73685-18280821@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 18, 2020 12:00pm
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 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.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B, and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Penny Stamps Speaker Series Presents: Njideka Akunyili Crosby: In Person (April 9, 2020 5:10pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70569 70569-17604962@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 9, 2020 5:10pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Njideka Akunyili Crosby, a 2017 MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, is a Nigerian-born visual artist working in Los Angeles. Crosby uses collage and photo transfer-based paintings to expose and explore moments of collision, moments of unity, and moments of hybridity found in cross-cultural relationships and in cultures of colonization. Crosby’s work is both personal and universal, as she draws upon her lived experience with interracial marriage, immigration, and dual ideas of home, and the deep traces of colonization in Nigeria. In 2019, Crosby was a participant in the Venice Biennale 58th International Art Exhibition, May You Live in Interesting Times, curated by Ralph Rugoff. Recent solo exhibitions include Njideka Akunyili Crosby: The Beautyful Ones at the National Portrait Gallery in London and Counterparts, which debuted at the Baltimore Museum of Art in 2017 before traveling to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas, in 2018. She received an honorary doctorate of art from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania in 2019 and was named among the Financial Times' “Women of the Year” in 2016.
