In March 2001, the University of Michigan Center for World Performance Studies (CWPS) celebrated its grand opening, inviting the community to participate in an evening of lectures, performances and food at the International Institute. As part of the ongoing virtual celebration of this milestone, CWPS invites four esteemed U-M faculty members to reflect on the Center’s founding, its contributions to increasing the diversity of arts and research at University of Michigan, and to imagine the possibilities for the next twenty years.

Kwasi Ampene, Associate Professor in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, is a scholar and practitioner of ethnomusicology. He specializes in the rich musical traditions of the Akan people of West Africa. His research interests include the performing arts as individually and collectively created and experienced, the performance of historical and social memory, politics, ideologies, values, and religious philosophy in Akan court music. Professor Ampene’s latest book, *Asante Court Music and Verbal Arts in Ghana: The Porcupine and the Gold Stool*, was published on June 30th, 2020 by Routledge. Dr. Ampene was Director of the Center for World Performance Studies from 2011-2016.

Lester Monts is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Music (ethnomusicology). From 1993 until 2014, he served as senior vice provost for academic affairs and senior counselor to the president for the arts, diversity, and undergraduate affairs. He is currently director of the Michigan Musical Heritage Project that seeks to capture on film the state’s folk, ethnic, and immigrant music traditions. Monts received a bachelor’s degree in music education from Arkansas Polytechnic College, a master’s degree in trumpet performance from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and a doctorate in ethnomusicology from the University of Minnesota.

Mbala Nkanga is an Associate Professor of Theatre and head of the minor in Global Theatre & Ethnic Studies. A native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, he taught directing, scenography and dramaturgical analysis at the Institut National des Arts in Kinshasa (DRC) beginning in 1979. He has directed plays in various professional companies there, such as Bernard Dadié’s Béatrice du Congo, Wole Soyinka’s A Dance of the Forests, and Réné Kalisky’s Aïda Vaincue. Dr. Nkanga received his PhD in Performance Studies from Northwestern University, and has led the Center for World Performance Studies graduate seminar since 1999.

Robin Wilson is an Associate Professor of Dance at the University of Michigan, on the faculty since 1995, and is best known as a founding member of New York’s Urban Bush Women. In 1995, she was awarded a New York Performance Award for the collective work of the Urban Bush Women from 1984-1994. Her studio teaching is informed by years of study in various mid-twentieth century modern dance and Afro-Caribbean folkloric dance techniques. She performed in New York for more than a decade with such choreographers as Dianne McIntyre, Kevin Wynn, and Jawole Willa Jo Zollar. Professor Wilson served on the Center for World Performance Studies faculty advisory committee for over a decade.

Conversations on Europe. Learning from Memory: A Transatlantic Conversation with Susan Neiman and Michael Rothberg (April 2, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82824 82824-21179591@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 2, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for European Studies

This lecture is being presented by the Center for European Studies and Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures as the Werner Grilk Lecture in German Studies.

What can we learn from comparing different memory cultures? In particular, how might we think about Holocaust memory and the Germans’ working through the past in relation to colonial and postcolonial memory, but also to the memory of racism and slavery in the United States? How can we foster memorial cultures that create transnational spaces for solidarity and the recognition of different and often difficult histories? Working from separate vantage points, Susan Neiman (Einstein Forum) and Michael Rothberg (UCLA) have both intervened forcefully in these debates in recent months and years. We look forward to bringing them together for a transatlantic conversation with CES Director Johannes von Moltke (U-M).

Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Susan Neiman studied philosophy at Harvard and the Freie Universität Berlin, finishing her Ph.D. under the direction of John Rawls and Stanley Cavell. She was assistant and associate professor at Yale, and associate professor at Tel Aviv University, before becoming director of the Einstein Forum in 2000. She is a member of the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaft and the American Philosophical Society. Neiman is the author of over a hundred essays and eight books, translated into many languages, most recently *Learning from the Germans: Race and the Memory of Evil*.

Michael Rothberg is the 1939 Society Samuel Goetz Chair in Holocaust Studies and professor of English and comparative literature at the University of California, Los Angeles. His latest book is *The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators* (2019), published by Stanford University Press in their “Cultural Memory in the Present” series. Previous books include *Multidirectional Memory: Remembering the Holocaust in the Age of Decolonization* (2009), *Traumatic Realism: The Demands of Holocaust Representation* (2000), and, co-edited with Neil Levi, *The Holocaust: Theoretical Readings* (2003). With Yasemin Yildiz, he is currently completing *Inheritance Trouble: Migrant Archives of Holocaust Remembrance* for Fordham University Press.

Zorro as a "Southwestern": The Ambivalent Latinx Superhero at Midcentury (April 5, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82620 82620-21147746@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 5, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Latina/o Studies

In this presentation, Anthony Mora, Associate Professor of History and Interim Director of Latina/o Studies, will consider the decisions that Disney producers made during the production of the widely popular 1950s television show Zorro. As had been the case with the iconic character since his creation in 1919, setting the action in Southern California inevitably raised questions about prevailing racial assumptions and the meaning of the United States' Mexican past. Widely popular among children, Zorro concealed more secrets than just his identity.

Session Guest: Hannah Dickinson, Head Of Student Recruitment And International Relations, Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance
Faculty Lead: Jonathan Kuuskoski (he/his)

For two weeks every February, Trinity Laban’s usual creative atmosphere gets supercharged. There are no lectures, no classes, no assignments. That’s because it’s time for CoLab, their eccentric two‑week festival of creativity and innovation. For the 2021 CoLab, 10 SMTD students spent a week at Trinity Laban working alongside students to devise and perform interdisciplinary works through the city of London. Join SMTD faculty supervisor Jonathan Kuuskoski and a member of the Trinity Laban team to learn more about the CoLab experience, understand how SMTD students are selected for this opportunity, and share our hopes for what SMTD participation might look like in the February 2022.

CCPS Lecture. The Themersons and the Art of Translation (April 8, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83207 83207-21312498@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 8, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

This talk is a simple introduction to a complicated subject: the Themersons, their life in images – still and moving, and words in a multitude of configurations. Both Stefan Themerson (1910-88) and Franciszka Themerson (1907-88) were born in Poland, where they made experimental films. In 1938 they moved to Paris, and between 1940 and 1942 the war deposited them in London, where they spent the rest of their lives. Franciszka was a painter, graphic designer, stage designer, film maker, and publisher. Stefan was a filmmaker, writer, poet, graphic designer, and publisher.

The topic of translation relates to nearly everything: word into sound; one language into another; face into a portrait, events into a chart. This is something that Stefan thought and talked about, and invented his own form of translation, which he called Semantic Poetry.

Jasia Reichardt is a writer on art and an exhibition organizer. She was born in Poland, educated in England, and has lived in London most of her life. She was assistant director of the ICA in London from 1963-71, and director of the Whitechapel Art Gallery from 1974-76. She has taught at the Architectural Association and other colleges, has written for most of the international art magazines, as well as some books, and has contributed to many international exhibitions and conferences throughout the world. She is the Themersons’ niece, and after the Themersons’ deaths in 1988, together with Nick Wadley, she organized their archive, which is now with the National Library in Warsaw.

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

Registration for this event has closed.

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

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

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

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

Jay will share his research through a performative talk including movement and songs from Miao and Tujia minorities as well as wearing the traditional attire he inherited from his grandmother. As one of the few remaining practitioners of traditional Tujia songs and aware of the recent policies of tourism and entertainment, Jay raises questions about authenticity and the rapidly changing conditions of Miao and Tujia minorities in China today. Peng Zhang will share his research in song, performed live via ZOOM, and provide context for his examination of these cultural artifacts in his lecture.

COVID-19 is the most significant global crisis of most people’s lifetimes. The numbers have been stupefying, whether of infection and mortality, the scale of public health measures, or the economic consequences of shutdown. *Coronavirus Politics: The Comparative Politics and Policy of COVID-19* identifies key threads in the global comparative discussion that continue to shed light on COVID-19 and shape debates about what it means for scholarship in health and comparative politics. This panel brings together University of Michigan authors from among the 67 contributors, versed in politics and the health issues in order to understand the health policy decisions, the public health interventions, the social policy decisions, their interactions, and the reasons. They will discuss the politics of COVID-19 response in Brazil, Central Asia, France, Italy, Nigeria, Singapore, South Africa, and Vietnam. All go beyond reporting and monitoring to develop explanations that draw on the authors' expertise while engaging in structured conversations across the book.

The Boston Massacre: A Family History (April 22, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83424 83424-21377655@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 22, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

The story of the Boston Massacre is familiar to generations. But from the very beginning, most accounts have obscured a fascinating truth: the Massacre arose from conflicts that were as personal as they were political. Serena Zabin draws on original sources and lively stories to follow British troops as they are dispatched from Ireland to Boston in 1768 to subdue the increasingly rebellious colonists. She reveals a forgotten world hidden in plain sight: the many regimental wives and children who accompanied the armies. We see these families jostling with Bostonians for living space, finding common cause in the search for a lost child, trading barbs, and sharing baptisms. When soldiers shot unarmed citizens in the street, it was these intensely human and now broken bonds that fueled what quickly became a bitterly fought American Revolution.

Serena Zabin’s book "The Boston Massacre: A Family History" was awarded the 2020 Book of the Year Prize from the Journal of the American Revolution. She is Professor of History and Chair of the History Department at Carleton College.

WEBINAR: From Rhetoric to Reality - Putting Patients at the Heart of Pharmaceutical Services & Systems (April 29, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/83639 83639-21446272@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 29, 2021 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Ross

Access to essential medicines remains a critical challenge for patients in many parts of the world. Strengthening pharmaceutical supply chains, while vitally important, must be complemented by efforts to strengthen related pharmaceutical services and systems in ways that put patient needs first.

When pharmaceutical systems and services – from policies and regulations to distribution and dispensing practices – are centered around and responsive to patient needs, the system can work better to achieve improved health outcomes and address critical challenges such as antimicrobial resistance. Ultimately, patient-centered approaches help build trust in health systems, encourage appropriate use of medicines, and make pharmaceutical services more responsive and effective.

Convened by the Global Health Supply Chain Summit group, this webinar will bring together private- and public-sector experts across the pharmaceutical supply chain to explore the latest in advancing patient-centered pharmaceutical services in low- and middle-income countries and opportunities to take the discussion from rhetoric to reality.

Introduction by: Ravi Anupindi, Professor of Technology & Operations, Ross School of Business

Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Advance registration for this Zoom webinar is required: https://myumi.ch/jxED9

Part of the Japanese Studies and Antiracist Pedagogy webinar series: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/jsap/webinars/

Historically, Cold War Area Studies and the nationalization of Ethnic Studies have contributed to an Orientalist arrangement in which “their” pasts and contemporary conditions have been separated from “ours.” For example, scholars of Asia are not supposed to teach about North American issues, let alone conduct research across national formations. However, this sequestering of “ourselves” from “them” has become increasingly untenable due to globalization and massive demographic changes in North America. This webinar discusses the challenges and possible methods for breaking through the separation of area studies (especially Japanese studies and East Asian studies) and ethnic studies by discussing two courses that I regularly teach -- “Colonialisms in Asia” and “The Asia-Pacific Wars” -- in which race, sex, gender and imperialism are key themes. These are modern phenomena that trouble the regions we Asia “experts” study and the places in which we live, teach and work. But an obscene screen sequesters these two knowledge formations, making it difficult for scholars of Asia to teach critically about racism in North America as well as about the U.S. and Canada as empires. While we Asia “experts” are normally assigned to study the people and nations “over there,” this webinar proposes that we need to refuse the disciplinary practices that the Cold War University has imposed upon us. The webinar will also propose that while important, linking Asian and Asian North American studies can only be one part of confronting the global problems of racism and empires.

Takashi Fujitani is a Professor in Asia-Pacific Studies at the University of Toronto. His research is focused on the intersections of nationalism, race, gender, war, and memory in East Asian history and Asian American history.

Part of the Japanese Studies and Antiracist Pedagogy webinar series: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/jsap/webinars/

Has Japanese Studies ever been a discipline? Who was it for? Conversations about its disciplinary survival continue and repeat attempts to contend with the deconstructive critique of “area.” According to reactions to the deconstructive critique of Area Studies, which began its course in the 1980s, we stand on the epistemological precipice of not simply the decline, but the death of the disciplines that comprise, for example, “Asian Studies” and “Latin American Studies.” Yet, efforts to undo Cold War era formations of knowledge production, in turn, have galvanized projects that seek to validate area studies through the rhetoric of their “re-birth,” often in formats that purport an interdisciplinary awareness to the diversifying demographics of higher education.

In this webinar, our aim will be to openly discuss the contradictions between the goal of “antiracist pedagogy” and the limits and possibilities of “Japanese Studies.” In emphasizing a framework of transpacific accountability that interrogates the “area” model through engaging critical race and Indigenous epistemologies, the webinar proposes a confrontation with the perceived crisis of area fields as an opening for a way to rethink and re-orient antiracist pedagogy. Highlighting a comparative study of race across Japan and Latin America as a case for the transpacific framework, the webinar introduces critical approaches to the histories of racism, militarism, nationalism, capitalism, and heterosexism in research and pedagogy across and after the “ends” of area.

Andrea Mendoza is an Assistant Professor of Japanese and Comparative Literature at UC San Diego. Her research areas are in critical race studies, transpacific studies, and East Asian and Latin American literatures and visual cultures.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Citizens Climate Lobby

In honor of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the Ann Arbor chapter of Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL), in partnership with the CCL Asian Pacific Action Team, are pleased to host a virtual screening of the award-winning films, Anote’s Ark and Love Note to an Island. We invite you to view the films in the comfort of your home, then participate in an online panel discussion with filmmaker, Lulu DeBoer, and returned Peace Corps volunteers who served in Kiribati, Brady Fergusson and Dr. Michael Roman.

For complete details on viewing the film and joining the panel discussion, click on the Eventbrite Registration link.

Optional: we invite our attendees to help support the people of Kiribati by making a donation to the Kiribati Climate Action Network (KiriCAN) through our GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-submerging-island

About the films:

Anote’s Ark: The Pacific Island nation of Kiribati is one of the most remote places on the planet, seemingly far-removed from the pressures of modern life. Yet it is one of the first countries that must confront the existential dilemma of our time: imminent annihilation from sea-level rise. While Kiribati’s former President Anote Tong races to find a way to protect his nation’s people and maintain their dignity, many Kiribati are already seeking safe harbor overseas. Set against the backdrop of international climate and human rights negotiations, Anote’s struggle to save his nation is intertwined with the fate of Tiemeri, a young mother who fights to migrate her family to New Zealand. At stake is the survival of Tiemeri’s family, the Kiribati people, and 4,000 years of Kiribati culture.
Love Note to an Island: This moving short film by Lulu DeBoer shows her visiting her home island of Kiribati for the first time in over 20 years, only to find that climate change will soon wash it away. But instead of despair, the love and hope of the country spurs her on to find solutions to adapt

The Clements Bookworm: Detroit’s Hidden Channels, French-Indigenous Families in the 18th Century (July 16, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/83967 83967-21619247@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, July 16, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Dr. Karen Marrero discusses her new book *Detroit’s Hidden Channels: The Power of French-Indigenous Families in the Eighteenth Century* (2020).

French-Indigenous families of the 18th century were a central force in shaping the history of Detroit. Situated where Anishinaabe, Wendat, Myaamia, and later French communities were established and where the system of waterways linking the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico narrowed, Detroit’s location was its primary attribute. While the French state viewed Detroit as a decaying site of illegal activities, the influence of the French-Indigenous networks grew as members diverted imperial resources to bolster an alternative configuration of power relations. Women furthered commerce by navigating a multitude of gender norms of their nations, allowing them to defy the state that sought to control them by holding them to European ideals of womanhood. By the mid-18th century, French-Indigenous families had become so powerful, incoming British traders and imperial officials courted their favor. These families would maintain that power as the British imperial presence splintered on the eve of the American Revolution.

Karen Marrero is a past Clements Library research fellow and a professor at Wayne State University.

Documenting the Prague Spring: A Film Screening & Discussion of Oratorio for Prague (September 13, 2021 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86542 86542-21634795@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 13, 2021 7:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

One of the most powerful documentaries ever made, *Oratorio for Prague* contains the only footage from the Soviet-led invasion of Prague in 1968. Czech New Wave filmmaker Jan Nemec began filming with the intention to document Prague Spring, a celebration of the new-found liberalization of Czechoslovakia, but the film's subject took a dramatic turn when Soviet tanks rolled through the streets.

Ania Aizman is assistant professor of Slavic languages and literatures and postdoctoral scholar in the Michigan Society of Fellows and the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia. She researches political art and social movements in Russia and East and Central Europe.

Jindrich Toman has been professor of Slavic languages and literatures at the University of Michigan since 1987. He specializes in the cultures and languages of Central Europe, including modern Czech literature and art. As a witness of events in Czechoslovakia in 1968, he will share with the audience his reactions to Nemec's documentary and reminisce about the events around the so-called Prague Spring.

This is an in-person event for U-M students, faculty, and staff only. You may participate remotely by registering at http://myumi.ch/0W354
Those attending remotely may access the film at https://myumi.ch/NxP33

Organized By: William L. Clements Library

In the late 1600s, English mapmaker William Hacke masterfully produced multiple copies of a manuscript atlas drawn from captured Spanish sea charts. One copy of these atlases is now held at the University of Michigan Clements Library. In this episode of the Bookworm, past Fellows Chet Van Duzer and Danny Zborover discuss their research on these 17th century sources. Van Duzer will explain indications of the locations of shipwrecks in Hacke Atlases—and how information about the treasure on those wrecks was later added (a change inspired by William Phips’ spectacular recovery of treasure from a Spanish wreck in 1687.) Zborover shares his research focused on the deep roots of entanglements between the Chontal Indigenous people in southern Mexico, and English, French, and Dutch pirates. He considers the Clements’ Hacke Atlas to be “one of the most instructive sources for our understanding of these Pacific coast colonial interests.”

CCPS Lecture. Translating Pan Tadeusz: A Conversation with Bill Johnston (September 22, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86159 86159-21631749@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 22, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

This interactive talk will offer a practitioner’s reflections on the making of a new translation of Adam Mickiewicz’s 1834 narrative poem *Pan Tadeusz*, widely referred to as “Poland’s national epic.” We’ll talk about the challenges presented, and the questions posed, by this particular act of translation, including those of imagined and actual readership; the role of aesthetic pleasure in the reading experience; and translation as trespass.

Bill Johnston’s rhyming verse translation of Adam Mickiewicz’s epic poem *Pan Tadeusz* (Archipelago Books, 2018) won the 2019 National Translation Award in Poetry and the 2019 AATSEEL Translation Prize. Johnston’s other awards include the Found in Translation Award for Tomasz Różycki’s mock epic poem *Twelve Stations* (Zephyr Press, 2015), as well as the PEN Translation Prize and the Best Translated Book Award, both for Wiesław Myśliwski’s novel *Stone Upon Stone* (Archipelago Books, 2010). He has also translated the work of Julia Fiedorczuk, Tadeusz Różewicz, Magdalena Tulli, Andrzej Stasiuk, and Jerzy Pilch, among others. He has held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts (twice), the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Guggenheim Foundation. In 2014 he was awarded the Transatlantyk Prize for contributions to the promotion of Polish literature abroad. He teaches literary translation at Indiana University.

Writing in "Academic Style" (September 22, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86245 86245-21632219@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 22, 2021 7:00pm
Location:
Organized By: English Language Institute

Whether you are writing a research article, class assignment, conference abstract or dissertation, the words, grammatical structures, and organizational patterns you use all signal whether your text sounds “academic.” We will look at features of academic style, and how these differ across a range of writing that undergraduate and graduate students do. In this workshop we will work on how to make effective stylistic choices for the types of writing you are doing and the academic identity you wish to convey to your readers in various writing contexts. Bring a text you are currently working on for analysis. Please come prepared to participate actively in small group discussions.

Latvia, Europe, and the Road Ahead: A Conversation with the President of Latvia, Egils Levits (September 23, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86110 86110-21631582@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 23, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia

The Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia welcomes the President of Latvia, Egils Levits, to the University of Michigan on September 23. President Levits will participate in a conversation with Professors Daniel Halberstam and Geneviève Zubrzycki.

Egils Levits has held the office of the Presidency of Latvia since July 2019 and has been involved in politics his entire life. His parents were expelled from Latvia in 1972 for dissident activities and moved the family to Germany, where Levits obtained degrees in law and political science from the University of Hamburg. He returned to Latvia in 1990 and co-authored the Declaration "On the Restoration of Independence of the Republic of Latvia." Levits has held many other key offices, including Vice-Prime Minister and Minister for Justice, and has served as Latvia’s ambassador to Hungary, Austria, and Switzerland. He was the first Latvian judge at the European Court of Human Rights, and was a Judge of the European Court of Justice from 2004-2019. He visited the University of Michigan Law School in 2017 as a member of the Court of Justice of the European Union delegation.

Daniel Halberstam is Eric Stein Collegiate Professor of Law and director of the European Legal Studies Program at the University of Michigan Law School. An expert on constitutional law and federalism, and one of the principal architects of the theory of constitutional pluralism, he writes more generally about comparative public law and legal theory.

Geneviève Zubrzycki is professor of sociology and director of the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia. Zubrzycki is a comparative-historical and cultural sociologist who studies national identity and religion, collective memory and national mythology, and the contested place of religious symbols in the public sphere.

WCED Lecture. Institutions, Property Rights, and Growth: Theory and Evidence from the End of East European Serfdom (September 28, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86163 86163-21631756@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 28, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies

The predominant analysis of representative institutions in the development literature casts them as the guardians of property against governmental predation. By enforcing property rights, the story goes, representative assemblies stimulate investment, specialization, innovation, and other forms of socially beneficial economic activity. What this analysis overlooks is that property relations themselves sometimes come in conflict with the demands of development. The political prerequisites of growth, then, include the existence of some agency that is authorized, when necessary, not to uphold but instead to transform the established property rights regime. Using the agrarian reforms in later eighteenth century Eastern Europe as a case study, McElroy shows that only certain kinds of representative institutions can perform this function effectively. Success depends on a representative body's configuration of internal decision-making institutions, particularly the acceptance of simple majority voting. He tests these propositions by reconstructing the process of agrarian reform in the Russian Baltic province of Livonia between 1795 and 1804, using documents from Latvian, Russian, and Estonian archives. His findings underscore the importance of specific procedural rules, especially majority voting, in generating the "good" economic outcomes commonly attributed to early representative institutions as such.

Brendan McElroy earned his PhD in government from Harvard in 2020, after receiving his BA in government and Russian studies (2011) and his MA in Russian and East European studies (2013) from Georgetown University. His work examines the complementary processes of state formation and elite transformation in early modern Eastern Europe, with particular emphasis on the genesis of representative institutions, their evolution, and their consequences for state building and economic growth. He is currently preparing a book manuscript under the provisional title "Peasants and Parliaments: Agrarian Reform in Later Eighteenth Century Europe," and will join the University of Toronto Department of Political Science as assistant professor in July, 2022.

This lecture is part of the WCED series on "Capitalism and Democracy." 2022 will mark the 30th anniversary of the publication of *Capitalist Development and Democracy* (by Dietrich Rueschmeyer et. al. in 1992) and the 80th anniversary of the publication of *Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy* (by Joseph Schumpeter in 1942). It is thus a perfect occasion to think anew about how capitalism and democracy interact. At WCED we will be hosting a series of events with “Capitalism and Democracy” as our annual theme.

This hybrid event will be presented in person at 1010 Weiser Hall and via Zoom. Register for the live-stream at https://myumi.ch/88l0K

CREES Noon Lecture. The Insecurity State: Views from Belarus (September 29, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86545 86545-21634796@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 29, 2021 12:00pm

2017 marked the 23rd year of power of Aleksandr Lukashenko over Belarus. In those years, his opponents have been silenced, murdered, exiled, or imprisoned. Every few years he has staged elections that the international community has characterized as “unfree and unfair,” followed by police suppression of protester, quick trials, and lengthy prison sentences. Among the only voices reminding the world about the plight of those living under Europe's “Last Dictator” is the Belarus Free Theater, a critically acclaimed troupe consisting of actors still living in the country and their exiled founders. Award-winning photographer Misha Friedman started following the theater as they traveled the world on sold-out tours and performed underground plays at home. In 2020 Friedman returned to Minsk to photograph what everyone expected to be yet another déjà vu election cycle. That August everything turned out differently. Join us for a special viewing and discussion of Friedman’s work in Belarus from August 2020.

Misha Friedman was born in Moldova, and graduated with degrees from Binghamton University (1997) and London School of Economics (2000), where he studied economics and Russian politics. He worked in finance in New York, and after 9/11 switched careers to volunteer as a project manager at Medecins Sans Frontiers while teaching himself photography. Since 2009, photography has become his profession. He was associated with Cosmos Photo Agency 2011 - 2018, and is now represented by Getty Images. Misha regularly collaborates with leading international media and non-profit organizations. A Pulitzer Prize finalist, his widely-exhibited work has received numerous industry awards, including several Pictures of the Year (POYi). He has five monographs; his most recent book, Two Women in Their Time, was published by The New Press in 2020. Misha lives in New York City.
