Project Management Certification (March 24, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61540 61540-15126016@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 24, 2019 1:00pm
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 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. 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 skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:
https://tauber.umich.edu/events-training/project-management-certification/2019-03-24/project-management-certification-2019

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.

Short films: "Chernobyl Heart" and "White Horse" (March 24, 2019 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62116 62116-15293429@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 24, 2019 5:30pm
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

Join us for a free double feature screening of "Chernobyl Heart" and "White Horse", followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Maryann De Leo and Residential College and Slavic Languages and Literatures professor Herb Eagle.

Maryann De Leo is an American director and producer. She has been working in documentary
filmmaking for over twenty years. Her work addresses timely issues under the umbrella of social justice, such as gender-based violence (Rape: Cries from the Heartland, 1991 and Terror at Home, 2005), mental illness (Bellevue: Inside Out, 2001), and urban blight (High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell, 1995). De Leo has received numerous awards, including an Academy Award for Chernobyl Heart, 2003.

Chernobyl Heart (39 min.) is an Oscar-winning documentary about the effects of radiation on the children of Belarus, 16 years after the accident at the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl. The film begins with the journey into the exclusion zone, driving to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and follows the invisible trail of radiation to the country's hospitals, cancer centers, orphanages, and mental asylums, where the children live, or are being treated for their disease.

White Horse (17 min.) is a short documentary by filmmakers Maryann De Leo and Christophe Bisson that features a man (Maxym Surkov) returning to his Ukraine home for the first time in twenty years. Evacuated from the city of Pripyat, Ukraine in 1986 due to the Chernobyl disaster, he has not returned since then. White Horse was nominated for a Golden Bear in the 2008 Berlinale.

CREES Noon Lecture. "They Treat Us Like Animals Here": Romani and Egyptian Belonging in Albania (March 27, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58186 58186-14435501@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

While many scholars in the Balkan region have analyzed identity and the politics of difference through the lens of ethnicity and ethnic conflict, few have done so through frameworks of racialization and racial belonging. Drawing from anthropological and ethnographic research with Romani and Egyptian communities in Albania, this talk features a critical discussion of social inequality with a particular focus on processes of racialization, dehumanization, and marginalization. In Albania, Roms and Egyptians are often racialized as dorë e zezë or ‘black’ while Albanians are racialized as dorë e bardhë or ‘white’. Additionally, many Roms and Egyptians in Albania frequently invoke the language of dehumanization to articulate their experiences with discrimination and non-belonging in Albania. Through an exploration of ethnographic cases, this talk will examine local constructions of these racial identities in the post-communist period, specifically as they pertain to housing segregation, health, labor, and the environment. This talk will also shed light on the ways that Roms and Egyptians in Albania mobilize around issues of inequality to promote social justice.

Chelsi West Ohueri is a sociocultural anthropologist and postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Population Health at the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School. Her research interests include race and racialization, belonging, marginalization, health disparities, and global health. She has conducted extensive ethnographic research in Albania, southeastern Europe, and Central Texas. West Ohueri is a native of Jackson, MS and completed her Ph.D. in sociocultural anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin in 2016. Her dissertation analyzed racialization and belonging in Romani, Egyptian, and Albanian communities of Albania.

Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS). Al-Ghazālī and the Foundations of Medieval Islamic Ontology, Epistemology, and Scientific Inquiry (March 27, 2019 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61478 61478-15114926@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 27, 2019 5:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

Medieval Muslim scientists trace most of their foundational ontological and epistemological underpinnings to Al-Ghazālī’s (1058-1111 CE) contribution in bridging the gap between scholastic theology (kalām) and scientific inquiry and experimentation. In doing so, Al-Ghazālī draws on two related subdomains: philology and exegesis. This talk sheds some light on Al-Ghazālī's holistic rational view which informed Medieval Islamic ontology, epistemology, and the scientific method, falling at the nexus of language, scholastic theology, Qur’anic hermeneutics, and the philosophy of science. Al-Ghazālī’s thought has implications for positivism and post-positivism, including the rejection of the behavioral psychology view of knowing and learning through mere habituation.

Mohammad T. Alhawary is Professor of Arabic Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition. In addition to his research in applied linguistics, his interests lie in the Medieval Arabic grammatical tradition and its interactions with neighboring disciplines such as exegesis, jurisprudence, philosophy, and scholastic theology.

Bernice Severin, Social Worker, Veilig Thuis (Safe at Home)

The Red Light District of Amsterdam speaks to our imagination as a symbol of Dutch liberalism, pragmatism, and the normalization of the human experience. Bernice Severin will discuss how, behind the neon lights, hides a deeper, darker culture of exploitation. The audience will come away with an understanding of the history, culture, policy, and economics of Dutch prostitution, as it has expanded beyond canal-front windows to sex farms and storage rooms. Bernice Severin is a social worker with Veilig Thuis (Safe At Home), an advice center and hotline for domestic and child abuse. From 2011 to 2017 she worked for the Amsterdam Coordination Center Against Human Trafficking.

Film. My Friend the Polish Girl (March 30, 2019 5:15pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61773 61773-15179584@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 30, 2019 5:15pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

From Cannes and Telluride nominee Ewa Banaszkiewicz and Mateusz Dymek comes a fiction film that takes the form of a first-time filmmaker’s documentary. MY FRIEND THE POLISH GIRL (87 min., 2018) borrows from cinema verite and video bloggers to create a rare naturalism in style and performance. The fiction film watches as an experimental documentary told through the eyes (and lens) of amateur filmmaker Katie: an American rich kid following Alicja, an erratic unemployed Polish actress. Set in a post-Brexit-vote London, Katie’s colonising, disruptive presence in Alicja’s life mirrors the treatment of migrants in the UK: welcomed, used, then discarded. A raw, sexual, and visually brash film exploring the abusive power and control over someone’s intimacy. Directed by Ewa Banaszkiewicz.

Founded in 1963, the Ann Arbor Film Festival is internationally recognized as a premier forum showcasing the most creative and unique films of today’s preeminent moving image artists who cross boundaries, defy expectations, and experiment with concepts and techniques. The six-day festival presents 40 programs with more than 200 films from over 20 countries of all lengths and genres.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

Marcin Wodzinski has produced the first cartographic reference book on Hasidism, one of the modern era's most vibrant and important mystical movements. In this lecture, he will discuss Hasidism's emergence and expansion in Eastern Europe; its spread to the New World; and its remarkable postwar rebirth. Wodzinski’s innovative mapping allows him to show to what extent Hasidism dominated the Eastern European Jewry, which Hasidic dynasties were strongest and why, and how the Hasidim resurrected in the Post-Holocaust era.

Marcin Wodziński (b. 1966) was born and raised in Silesia, Poland. He currently works at the Department of Jewish Studies, University of Wrocław, Poland, where he is professor of Jewish history and literature. His research focuses on the history and culture of East European Jews in modern times, especially the Haskalah and Hasidism. Of his recent publications, he is most proud of "Historical Atlas of Hasidism" (2018) and "Hasidism: Key Questions" (2018).

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

This presentation will profile the return of a rare Buddha image that was stolen from a remote temple in Bagan in 1988 and would travel around the world before finally being returned to its home country in 2012. This long saga, which involved looters, antique dealers, art historians, lawyers, ambassadors and curators, demonstrates the intricate complexities in restituting objects. The priceless sculpture was transported from Myanmar (also known as Burma) to Bangkok, San Francisco, New York, Chicago and Paris. It would be saved from the auction block, before drawing the involvement of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and becoming the subject of a precedent setting lawsuit for antiquities.

This research explored the different phases of this complex and successful story but also question how to implement restitutions most efficiently in the 21st century. Indeed, as the themes behind this stolen Buddha’s history have wider resonance for the region. Southeast Asian policymakers have been debating for decades on how to best protect their national heritage from criminals, while fighting for the restitution of stolen artworks. While the level success within each country has varied, much remains to be done in facing the continuing challenge of art trafficking.

Location: Dana Natural Resources Building
Organized By: Center for Sustainable Systems

Participatory action research (PAR) is a powerful methodology for generating collective knowledge and change. We will describe PAR, its particular relevance to agroecology and food system work, and its application in our educator training program Laboratorios para la Vida (LabVida). LabVida has been working for eight years to train educators to use school gardens and food systems as venues for inquiry-based learning linking local and academic knowledge. We applied PAR to development and analysis of our training program, and invited participating educators to use PAR with their groups to explore and improve their food environments. PAR has proven to be an effective tool for generating small but significant changes in participants' narratives and practices.

Helda Morales is from Guatemala City and went to college there. She did graduate work in Costa Rica and then at U of M. Her research has documented the importance of traditional knowledge in constructing sustainable agriculture systems that avoid using harmful pesticides. Recently, she has focused on education and food systems, working with local urban and rural growers and farmers markets as well as international organizations. She is a founder and active member of AMA-AWA, the Alliance of Women in Agroecology.

Bruce Ferguson grew up in Kalamazoo, studied at Kalamazoo College. He did graduate work at the University of Michigan with John Vandermeer and Ivette Perfecto focusing on ecological succession and restoration. He currently does research and teaching in agroecology, food systems, and pedagogy. He is in Ann Arbor, spending part of his sabbatical year at U of M.

Their current research involves school gardens and food system education. They are both members of the Department of Agriculture, Society, and the Environment at El Colegio de la Frontera Sur in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico, where they are part of a group working on scaling out agroecology to achieve more just and sustainable food systems. Together, Bruce and Helda coordinate Laboratorios para la Vida, a program that trains teachers to use gardens and food systems as educational tools.

The book bridges a gap between storytelling and social science and moves deeper into a systematic understanding of 1994 Rwanda, Rwanda itself, and the complexity of understanding the diverse forms of political violence that happened alongside the genocide.

Project Management Certification (April 7, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61540 61540-15126017@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 7, 2019 1:00pm
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 24 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, April 7 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)
Sunday, October 6 (1:00 - 4:30 pm, Ross 0240)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for November 17, 2019 (11:00 - 3:00 pm) at the Ross School of Business. 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 skill set to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:
https://tauber.umich.edu/events-training/project-management-certification/2019-03-24/project-management-certification-2019

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.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

With a world record fine and the CEO now on trial in Sweden, Europe’s fifth largest telecommunications provider, Telia Company AB, is slowly getting out from an expensive and morally corrupt endeavor in Uzbekistan. Award-winning Swedish journalist and 2019 Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan Fredrik Laurin presents Swedish Public Service TV’s exposure of international corruption. The lecture will address the effects of corruption in Central Asia and the role of U.S. legislation as the only working law against corruption.

Fredrik Laurin is editor of special projects for Swedish Television’s (SVT’s) Current Affairs program. Before this he was editor of the investigative department for Swedish Radio, a reporter for SVT, and investigative reporter for National TV 4. Laurin’s investigations exposed tax havens and tax evasion by the global corporate elite and corruption in the Swedish government and abroad. One such investigation exposed how purportedly alliance-free Sweden secretly cooperates with U.S. authorities in eavesdropping, intelligence gathering, extraordinary rendition, and torture in the war on terror. He has received the Stora Journalistpriset, the Swedish equivalent to the Pulitzer Prize, and Guldspaden, the Swedish Investigative Reporters and Editors award. He has received several other awards for his work, including the Pulitzer Prize for his collaborative efforts on the Panama Papers with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. Laurin graduated from the Gothenburg School of Journalism and studied political science at Gothenburg University. Currently he is a Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Donia Human Rights Center

Professor Catharine A. MacKinnon will address the politics and law of sexual harassment, focusing on its violation of equality rights, in light of the #MeToo movement, exploring those developments in light of the theory of her most recent book, "Butterfly Politics: Changing the World for Women."

This event is co-sponsored by: Center for the Education of Women+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund, Department of Sociology, Institute for Research on Women and Gender, Law School, and Women's Studies Department.

Catharine A. MacKinnon is the Elizabeth A. Long Professor of Law at Michigan Law and the long-term James Barr Ames Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. She holds a BA from Smith College, a JD from Yale Law School, and a PhD in political science from Yale. She specializes in sex equality issues under international and domestic (including comparative, criminal, and constitutional) law. She pioneered the legal claim for sexual harassment and, with Andrea Dworkin, created ordinances recognizing pornography as a civil rights violation and the Swedish model for abolishing prostitution. The Supreme Court of Canada has largely accepted her approaches to equality, pornography, and hate speech, which have been influential internationally as well. Representing Bosnian women survivors of Serbian genocidal sexual atrocities, she won with co-counsel a damage award of $745 million in August 2000 in Kadic v. Karadzic under the Alien Tort Act, the first recognition of rape as an act of genocide. Among the schools at which she has taught are Yale, Stanford, Chicago, Harvard, Osgoode Hall (Toronto), Basel (Switzerland), Hebrew University (Jerusalem), and Columbia. She was awarded residential fellowships at the Institute for Advanced Study, Stanford, the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, and the University of Cambridge. Professor MacKinnon's scholarly books include the casebook Sex Equality (2001/2007), Are Women Human? (2006), Women's Lives, Men's Laws (2005), Only Words (1993), Toward a Feminist Theory of the State (1989), Feminism Unmodified (1987), and Sexual Harassment of Working Women (1979). She is widely published in journals, the popular press, and many languages. Professor MacKinnon practices and consults nationally and internationally and works regularly with Equality Now, an NGO promoting international sex equality rights for women, and the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women. Serving as the first special gender adviser to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (The Hague) from 2008 to 2012, she implemented her concept of "gender crime." In 2014, she was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Association of American Law Schools Women's Division and was elected to the American Law Institute. Studies document that Professor MacKinnon is among the most widely-cited legal scholars in the English language.

Organized By: Michigan Law Environmental and Energy Law Program

The seventh environmental conference presented by Michigan Law's Environmental Law and Policy Program kicks off on Thursday, April 11, with a talk by Jonathan Overpeck, Dean of the UM School for Environment and Sustainability. Dean Overpeck will set the stage for the conference by discussing how best to meet climate challenges.

The conference will continue on Friday, April 12. With climate change accelerating and the window for climate change mitigation and adaptation narrowing, this year we will devote our entire conference to how the legal system can promote meaningful action on climate change and broad-based environmental sustainability efforts. Panels and break out sessions will be held throughout the day on topics as wide-ranging as the Paris Accord, U.S. federal climate policy, and how law and business intersect to address climate change.

This event is free and open to the public. Please see a complete conference schedule at events.law.umich.edu/elpp

Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Center for Political Studies - Institute for Social Research

Presenter: Diana Mutz (University of Pennsylvania)

Abstract: Drawing on evidence from her book in progress, Mutz presents survey and experimental evidence on the psychological underpinnings of attitudes toward international trade. Picking up where economic explanations have failed, she argues that people extend what they know about human interaction to understand international relationships. In this respect, globalization runs headlong against the grain of much of basic human psychology, asking us to trust distant, impersonal and often dissimilar others.

PUBLIC LIVE RECORDING OF THE PODCAST: AMERICAN DIPLOMAT

Join the Weiser Diplomacy Center and American Academy of Diplomacy for a live recording of the latest episode of the podcast American Diplomat: The Stories behind the news. Ambassador Peter F. Romero and writer Laura Bennett will host Ambassador Thomas A. Shannon and discuss about current issues in Brazil from the vantage point of two practitioners who have spent decades in this region of the world. What conditions in Brazil gave rise to the election of Jair Bolsonaro? Are there any parallels with the election of Donald Trump? What can we expect from the Trump/Bolsonaro bromance and does this threaten democracy in our two countries?

This event is free and open to the public. Check out the previous episodes of American Diplomat podcast here: https://www.amdipstories.org/ and post your questions in advance by clicking "Send a voice message to The American Diplomat".

Ambassador Thomas A. Shannon, Jr.
brings more than three decades of government service and diplomatic experience to his practice, providing strategic counsel to clients across a range of legislative, foreign policy, and national security issues. Most recently, Ambassador Shannon served as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, the third highest ranking position at the State Department. Holding the personal rank of Career Ambassador, he was the highest ranking member of the United States Foreign Service, the country's professional diplomatic corps. During his tenure as Under Secretary, Ambassador Shannon was in charge of bilateral and multilateral foreign policymaking and implementation, and oversaw diplomatic activity globally and in our missions to international organizations. He managed the State Department during the presidential transition, led bilateral and strategic stability talks with the Russian Federation, worked with our allies to oversee Iranian compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, and expanded US engagement in Central Asia, among other things.

Ambassador Peter F. Romero
For those that know him, Pete Romero delights in listening and telling stories, firmly believing that honing these skills can not only be professionally rewarding, but also life enriching. He was honored to have had a twenty five year career as a diplomat in the US Foreign Service. In his last three postings he was head of our embassy in El Salvador, US Ambassador in Quito, Ecuador and Assistant Secretary of the Western Hemisphere Bureau at the US Department of State. His achievements in some of the world's inhospitable "hot spots" earned him multiple awards for superlative leadership. While in the diplomatic service he initiated the highly successful Plan Colombia, assisted in ending the border war between Peru and Ecuador and was a key player in the implementation of the peace accords between the government and the guerrilla front in El Salvador. Mr. Romero advises private sector clients on problem-solving and winning strategies overseas. He lectures at several of the US military's post-graduate institutions and at the graduate school of foreign service at Georgetown University. He is sought after for his experience and expertise in counter-insurgency strategies and holistic approaches to national security threats. He is a die-hard Seminole, having graduated with a BS and an MA from Florida State University.

Laura Bennett
holds an MFA in film and television production at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where she was awarded a merit-based Tisch School of the Arts scholarship. She has written, directed, produced and edited short films that have won 11 awards and screened at 35 festivals throughout the United States, including the New Directors/New Films series at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. Laura has written feature scripts including a sophisticated international political thriller, a young-adult dog show crime comedy and a supernatural thriller about an amnesiac ghost on a disappearing island. Laura speaks Spanish, French and English and has traveled in five continents, often solo and working as a volunteer. In addition to filmmaking, Laura has an MBA from the University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business and works as professor and as a strategy consultant on non-profit and government projects aimed at promoting the public good.

Emina Cunmulaj Nazarian was born in Farmington Hills, Michigan in 1984 to Albanian parents from Montenegro. She spent her childhood on a farm at the footstep of Montenegrin hills, helping with chores, earning good grades, and participating in village life. Emina has fond memories of those years, but what stands out to her was the fatalistic view of the plight of women, which motivated her to follow an atypical path. At 15, she was selected to represent Yugoslavia in a global modeling competition, leading to a successful modeling career that included appearances in Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, and work for the fashion houses Chanel, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Valentino, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani, and Roberto Cavalli.

But Emina was destined to pursue philanthropy. From a young age, she witnessed her mother’s generosity as the family harbored, fed, and dressed fugitives of war during the Balkan conflict in the ’90s. As a result, Emina constantly seeks to promote humanitarian endeavors and organizations such as the Fundjavë Ndryshe, which she discovered in the summer of 2017 on a trip to rural Albania. Her involvement intensified, and in 2018 she helped secure food supplies, wood burning stoves, and new homes for needy families in Albania. Emina is currently the Chief Operating Officer of Fundjavë Ndryshe and is actively planning her next Albanian campaign this summer. Her talk will explore “the love that I give and share with those in need,” the potential for a better life for many, and how to channel our capacity for good to make the world a better place.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies

Can the story of a pear help us understand the rise of democracy in the West? This talk uses the career of Louis-Augustin Bosc, a French revolutionary and botanist—and namesake of the familiar pear—to explore the ambiguous political legacy of the Atlantic revolutions. The talk argues that revolutionary movements in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were united not just by a set of similar political structures and ideologies but by their reliance on a matrix of old regime, eighteenth-century cultural practices. These old regime practices left a common and illiberal stamp on the polities and political traditions that they helped to create.

Nathan Perl-Rosenthal is a historian of the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Atlantic world. He focuses on the political and cultural history of Europe and the Americas in the age of revolution, with particular attention to the transnational influences that shaped modern national politics. He received his PhD in history from Columbia University in 2011, with a dissertation on epistolarity and revolutionary organizing, and then in 2015 published a first book on a different topic: "Citizen Sailors: Becoming American in the Age of Revolution" (Belknap/Harvard). His current book project is a wide-angle cultural history of the Atlantic age of revolutions, from the 1760s through the 1820s, which rethinks the era’s role in creating modern democratic politics. Nathan also maintains interests in early modern legal history; historical methods and historiography; and histories of material culture.

Across the world, the far-right occupies positions of power it has not held since World War Two. With social inequality reaching astronomical proportions, the ruling elites are resurrecting all the political filth responsible for the worst crimes of the 20th century.

In Germany, the scene of the holocaust and Hitler’s Nazi movement, fascism is once again rearing its ugly head. A neo-Nazi party, the Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD), is now the main opposition party with high-level support from within the state and academia. Building a mass movement capable of defeating fascism requires learning the lessons of history.

The lessons of the 1930s show that the fight against fascism requires the independent mobilization of the working class against the capitalist system. Learning these critical lessons is the only way to prevent the disaster of Nazism on an even greater scale today.

* * *
Speaker: Christoph Vandreier, German Trotskyist, prominent leader of the fight against fascism and author of “Why Are They Back? Historical Falsification, Political Conspiracy, and the Return of Fascism in Germany.”

Vandreier is Deputy National secretary of the Sozialistiche Gleichheitspartei (Socialist Equality Party, SGP) in Germany, which was placed under state surveillance on advise of the neo-Nazi AfD for its “anti-fascist” and “anti-capitalist” politics.

Making Art Public: A conversation with Mark di Suvero and Christina Olsen (April 24, 2019 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63024 63024-15536918@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 24, 2019 5:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Public art on a university campus plays a significant role in creating an environment that supports the development of the mind and spirit of students, faculty, and staff. The University of Michigan has an historic and longstanding commitment to public art. The campus is full of icons that evoke the Michigan spirit, but none capture the vital importance of public art on campus like Mark di Suvero’s Orion.

Please join us on Wednesday, April 24 for an opportunity to hear from one of the greatest living sculptors and creators of public art.

Born in Shanghai, China, in 1933, di Suvero immigrated to the United States in 1941 and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley. An internationally renowned sculptor and pioneer in the use of steel, he began showing his sculptures in the 1950s. Di Suvero is the sculptor of two iconic works on the U-M Ann Arbor campus: Shang, a kinetic sculpture that features a suspended platform that swings, and Orion, a brightly painted, orange-red sculpture made of hand-cut, painted steel. His architectural-scale sculptures have been exhibited in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Germany, Australia, Japan, France, the United Kingdom and the United States. di Suvero is the first living artist to exhibit in the Jardin des Tuileries and the Esplanade des Invalides in Paris and at Millennium Park in Chicago. His work is featured in more than 100 museums and public collections, including the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. An activist for peace and social justice, di Suvero co-founded Park Place Gallery, an artists’ cooperative, in New York City in 1962. In 1977, he established the Athena Foundation to assist artists to fulfill their ambitions. He established Socrates Sculpture Park in 1986 at the site of a landfill in Queens, New York. Di Suvero has received several honors, including the Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award from the International Sculpture Center and the National Medal of Arts.

Christina Olsen is the Director of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and Chair of the University of Michigan President's Advisory Committee on Public Art. Before coming to Michigan she served as the Class of 1956 Director at the Williams College Museum of Art. Olsen has more than 25 years of leadership experience in museums and foundations, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum and Getty Foundation, and the Portland Art Museum. She is a national leader in debates about the changing role of campus art museums and their relationships with the public and campus, and has lectured frequently on the topic. Olsen has curated and produced many exhibitions and programs, including most recently Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s, currently on view at the University of Michigan’s Museum of Art. Olsen is on the board of the Association of Art Museum Directors and has taught at the University of Pennsylvania and Williams College. She received a BA in history of art, with honors, from the University of Chicago, and an MA and PhD in art history from the University of Pennsylvania.

This program is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan President's Advisory Committee on Public Art.

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

EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS, DISASTERS, CONSUMPTION, LOSS, AND JUSTICE

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues, the exhibition presents photography, video, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials, disasters, consumption, loss, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists, including Sammy Baloji, Liu Bolin, Dana Levy, Mary Mattingly, Pedro Neves Marques, Gabriel Orozco, Trevor Paglen, and Thomas Struth, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness, wonder, and curiosity about the world to come.

Read the exhibition press release here.

 

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith, Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art. Support for the exhibition is provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, UF Office of the Provost, National Endowment for the Arts, C. Frederick and Aase B.

EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS, DISASTERS, CONSUMPTION, LOSS, AND JUSTICE

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues, the exhibition presents photography, video, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials, disasters, consumption, loss, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists, including Sammy Baloji, Liu Bolin, Dana Levy, Mary Mattingly, Pedro Neves Marques, Gabriel Orozco, Trevor Paglen, and Thomas Struth, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness, wonder, and curiosity about the world to come.

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

EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS, DISASTERS, CONSUMPTION, LOSS, AND JUSTICE

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues, the exhibition presents photography, video, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials, disasters, consumption, loss, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists, including Sammy Baloji, Liu Bolin, Dana Levy, Mary Mattingly, Pedro Neves Marques, Gabriel Orozco, Trevor Paglen, and Thomas Struth, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness, wonder, and curiosity about the world to come.

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

EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS, DISASTERS, CONSUMPTION, LOSS, AND JUSTICE

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues, the exhibition presents photography, video, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials, disasters, consumption, loss, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists, including Sammy Baloji, Liu Bolin, Dana Levy, Mary Mattingly, Pedro Neves Marques, Gabriel Orozco, Trevor Paglen, and Thomas Struth, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness, wonder, and curiosity about the world to come.

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

EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS, DISASTERS, CONSUMPTION, LOSS, AND JUSTICE

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues, the exhibition presents photography, video, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials, disasters, consumption, loss, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists, including Sammy Baloji, Liu Bolin, Dana Levy, Mary Mattingly, Pedro Neves Marques, Gabriel Orozco, Trevor Paglen, and Thomas Struth, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness, wonder, and curiosity about the world to come.

​Literati’s Eco Book Club goes on the road. Join us at UMMA on the occasion of the Museum’s exhibition of The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene. This thought-provoking exhibition grapples with the negative impact of human activity on the planet through the art of more than thirty-five international artists such as Sammy Baloji, Liu Bolin, Dana Levy, Mary Mattingly, Pedro Neves Marques, Gabriel Orozco, Trevor Paglen, and Thomas Struth.

Her anthology Fresh Water: Women Writing on the Great Lakes is a Michigan Notable Book.

EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS, DISASTERS, CONSUMPTION, LOSS, AND JUSTICE

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues, the exhibition presents photography, video, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials, disasters, consumption, loss, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists, including Sammy Baloji, Liu Bolin, Dana Levy, Mary Mattingly, Pedro Neves Marques, Gabriel Orozco, Trevor Paglen, and Thomas Struth, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness, wonder, and curiosity about the world to come.

Speaking American English: A Communication Workshop for English Language Learners (June 6, 2019 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63562 63562-15784184@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, June 6, 2019 3:30pm
Location: V. Vaughan
Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.

The workshop will run from June 6 to August 15, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. The program cost is $275.00, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.

If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

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

EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS, DISASTERS, CONSUMPTION, LOSS, AND JUSTICE

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues, the exhibition presents photography, video, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials, disasters, consumption, loss, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists, including Sammy Baloji, Liu Bolin, Dana Levy, Mary Mattingly, Pedro Neves Marques, Gabriel Orozco, Trevor Paglen, and Thomas Struth, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness, wonder, and curiosity about the world to come.

Speaking American English: A Communication Workshop for English Language Learners (June 13, 2019 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63562 63562-15784185@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, June 13, 2019 3:30pm
Location: V. Vaughan
Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.

The workshop will run from June 6 to August 15, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. The program cost is $275.00, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.

If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

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

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues, the exhibition presents photography, video, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials, disasters, consumption, loss, and justice. Join an UMMA docent tour to explore how the international artists in this exhibition respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness, wonder, and curiosity about the world to come.

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith, Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art. Support for the exhibition is provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, UF Office of the Provost, National Endowment for the Arts, C. Frederick and Aase B. Thompson Foundation, Ken and Laura Berns, Daniel and Kathleen Hayman, Ken and Linda  McGurn, Susan Milbrath, an anonymous foundation, UF Center for Humanities and the Public Sphere, UF Office of Research and Robert and Carolyn Thoburn, with additional support from a group of environmentally-minded supporters, the Robert C. and Nancy Magoon Contemporary Exhibition and Publication Endowment, Harn Program Endowment, and the Harn Annual Fund.

Speaking American English: A Communication Workshop for English Language Learners (June 27, 2019 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63562 63562-15784187@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, June 27, 2019 3:30pm
Location: V. Vaughan
Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.

The workshop will run from June 6 to August 15, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. The program cost is $275.00, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.

If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

Speaking American English: A Communication Workshop for English Language Learners (July 4, 2019 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63562 63562-15784188@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, July 4, 2019 3:30pm
Location: V. Vaughan
Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.

The workshop will run from June 6 to August 15, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. The program cost is $275.00, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.

If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll

EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS, DISASTERS, CONSUMPTION, LOSS, AND JUSTICE

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues, the exhibition presents photography, video, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials, disasters, consumption, loss, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists, including Sammy Baloji, Liu Bolin, Dana Levy, Mary Mattingly, Pedro Neves Marques, Gabriel Orozco, Trevor Paglen, and Thomas Struth, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness, wonder, and curiosity about the world to come.

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene (July 16, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59263 59263-14721857@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, July 16, 2019 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXPLORE SUBJECTS AND THEMES RELATED TO RAW MATERIALS, DISASTERS, CONSUMPTION, LOSS, AND JUSTICE

The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. Structured around ecological issues, the exhibition presents photography, video, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials, disasters, consumption, loss, and justice. More than thirty-five international artists, including Sammy Baloji, Liu Bolin, Dana Levy, Mary Mattingly, Pedro Neves Marques, Gabriel Orozco, Trevor Paglen, and Thomas Struth, respond to dire global and local circumstances with resistance and imagination—sustaining an openness, wonder, and curiosity about the world to come.

Speaking American English: A Communication Workshop for English Language Learners (July 18, 2019 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63562 63562-15784190@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, July 18, 2019 3:30pm
Location: V. Vaughan
Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

Are you looking to increase confidence in your use of American English? The University Center for Language and Literacy (UCLL) at U-M offers a special workshop designed for non-native English speakers who want to expand their communication skills. Our program provides the perfect environment for you to reach your personal goals and we’re registering now!

Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent reduction to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications — whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is certainly not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in all settings. Participants will set their own individual objectives at the start of the workshop and will work to reach those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.

The workshop will run from June 6 to August 15, 2019. Participants will meet weekly on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m. The program cost is $275.00, plus the purchase of Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsin.

If you have questions, need assistance, or want more information, please call (734) 764-8440 or visit https://mari.umich.edu/ucll
