Organized By: Department of Psychology

As part of the U-M Fall 2017 Marching Forward series, we invite you to engage across disciplines, generations, and communities to advance research and scholarship that explores political, social, and economic injustices, and/or advances strategies for effective social justice mobilization.

Through this symposium, we aim to engage the U-M community and the public in further understanding critical historical topics and fostering an intellectual community to explore the civil rights issues of today.

See the agenda, including a list of presenters, here: http://myumi.ch/L4OYg

RSVP here: http://myumi.ch/Jl2nm

This symposium takes place two days after the anticipated visit of Congressman John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell to the University of Michigan (Nov 27th, Hill Auditorium). Their acclaimed graphic novel trilogy, March, recounts Lewis's experiences throughout the Civil Rights Movement. In protest marches from Selma to Montgomery in 1965, John Lewis and 600 other marchers drew attention to the importance of voting rights for all African Americans. The marchers were brutally attacked by state troopers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. John Lewis and the marchers did not abandon their cause, but instead propelled the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

This event is co-presented by the International Institute’s Conflict and Peace Initiative, Department of Psychology, National Center for Institutional Diversity, and the Rackham Program in Public Scholarship. For questions regarding the symposium, please email: MarchingForward@umich.edu.

Organized By: Graduate Rackham International

In 1922, philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein declared that “the limits of my language mean the limits of my world." With the globally-connected community at the University of Michigan in mind, we invite you to an exploration of the cross-cultural academic expressive production that accompanies thinking and writing from a non-English background. Taking the University of Michigan as a case study, we hope to engage questions of scholarship and public expression incubated in the globalized environment that is the contemporary American university. Rather than focusing on the mechanics of English as a Second Language or as a lingua franca, we seek a discussion around scholarly expression in a multicultural, globalized academia. How does an American academic culture of expression interact with the increasingly international body of authors on campus? And, what does it mean to think and write from a non-normative background? Please join us for a scholarly conversation on multilingualism and the pleasures and difficulties of translation.

Speakers:
Pär Cassel (History & International Relations)
Gottfried Hagen (Near Eastern Studies)
Se-Mi Oh (Asian Languages & Cultures)
Benjamin Paloff (Comparative & Slavic Literature)
Will Thomson (Anthropology & Architecture)

Keynote address: Conjuring Acts with Martin Luther King Jr.: A Hermeneutics of Divine Equality, Radical Socio-economic Equity, and Courageous Maladjustment, by Dr. Mitzi J. Smith, Professor of New Testament at Ashland Theological Seminary and first female graduate in New Testament from Harvard University.

Some things have changed since Martin Luther King Jr. gave his last speech, but much remains the same. In his speeches and sermons, King often draws upon the Hebrew Bible prophetic tradition to articulate the moral and ethical responsibility of human beings and nations to engender freedom, equality, peace, justice, and love in the world. King conjures Micah 6:8 where the prophet states that God requires that human beings love mercy, do justice and walk humbly with God and the Exodus tradition wherein God stands on the side of the oppressed and for freedom from oppression. King challenged us to embody and engender God’s beloved community in the world. And for his theological and rhetorical articulation of the beloved community, King sometimes conjures the New Testament Johannine tradition. Although King may draw less from the Acts of the Apostles, his hermeneutic aligns with a theological and social agenda we find in Acts and Luke. There, the burgeoning assembly of believers, like King’s beloved community, struggles to engender equality, inclusivity, elimination of poverty and justice towards the ends of the earth. King’s beloved community is committed to the common humanity of all people, the elimination of poverty, and maladjustment to oppression and evil through nonviolent resistance. King conjures Acts, but both Acts and King at times miss the mark. Where Acts and King hit and miss the mark remain prophetically relevant for our contemporary context and challenge us to become the beloved community characterized by Divine equality, radical socio-economic equity, and courageous maladjustment.

Dr. Smith's lecture will be followed by a panel discussion about the legacy of MLK's Biblical teaching today.

Panelists: Aaron Chapman (Dedicated to Christ Baptist Church); Kenneth Harris (Ecumenical Theological Seminary); Marvin McMickle (Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School); Larry Smith (New Saint Mark Baptist Church)

This event is organized by the Department of Near Eastern Studies of the University of Michigan with the support of the David Noel Freedman Lectures and the Michigan Center for Early Christian Studies.

What is a bitcoin worth? (February 20, 2018 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/49463 49463-11465092@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 20, 2018 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: The Center for the Study of Complex Systems

THE EVENT WILL BE LIVE STREAMED ON LSA WEBSITE (link below). #UMichTalks #bitcoin

Fresh off her @MichiganEngineering Facebook Live Bitcoin discussion, Dr Shaw presents an illuminating discussion on the topic.

Abstract
The first posted exchange rate for Bitcoin in 2009 was around $0.001 (USD) = 1 BTC.  Just over eight years later, in mid-December 2017, it reached an inconceivable high of over $19,000 (USD) = 1 BTC, only to lose near 40% of its value the following month. Along with this dramatic ride in its price came a new wave of attention from mainstream audiences who brought with them a lot of questions - the two biggest being ‘What is Bitcoin?’ and ‘Why is it worth anything?’
 
This talk will offer some answers to these questions. The first part will use a computational modeling approach to help clarify how it is that this “something out of nothing” quality can arise out of social valuation processes. The second part will then combine information from the documented history of Bitcoin’s development, venture capital funding trends, and text scraped from thousands of news articles to explore the role different groups’ definitions of Bitcoin have played in constituting its current level of value and what this might entail for cryptocurrency’s future.

This symposium will be centered around strategies to transform political activism in our role as students, with the goal of protecting, engaging, and further advancing the interests and ideas of communities of color. As aspiring scholars, administrators, political leaders, and professionals, what can we do to prepare for, survive, and thrive under unfavorable political climates? More specifically, how can we continue to build community and coalitions that promotes diversity, inclusion, and equity for all marginalized communities?

The symposium will serve as a positive professional and scholarly space where students will be able to gain knowledge on the ways in which scholars have historically engaged social justice and the fight for diversity, inclusion, and equity. The event will feature multiple workshops and panels exploring strategies to navigate institutional barriers to ignite social change. Moreover, this symposium will also provide students with an opportunity to share their research ideas and agenda, and explore pathways for successfully achieving their career aspirations through scholar-activism.

About MSSISS:

The Michigan Student Symposium for Interdisciplinary Statistical Sciences (MSSISS) is an annual event organized by graduate students in the Biostatistics, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, Industrial & Operations Engineering, Statistics and Survey Methodology departments at the University of Michigan.

The goal of this symposium is to create an environment that allows communication across related fields of statistical sciences and promotes interdisciplinary research among graduate students and faculty. It encourages graduate students to present their work, share insights and exposes them to diverse applications of statistical sciences. Though hosted by five departments we extend our invitation to graduate students from all departments across the University to present their statistical research in the form of an oral paper presentation or a poster presentation. It also provides an excellent environment for interacting with students and faculty from other areas of statistical research on campus.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

The 2018 Weinberg Symposium will explore recent dramatic advances in AI and their implications for our developing understanding and investigation of mind and brain. Of special interest are deep learning and reinforcement learning, and the resurgence of explorations of computational architectures intended to support general intelligence. An aim of the symposium is to clarify and advance the reciprocal flow of theoretical ideas across AI and cognitive science, broadly understood to include neuroscience and psychology. This includes identifying specific computational problems shared by both artificial and human brains, and leading ideas for solutions to those problems; identifying areas of both theoretical convergence and divergence; rethinking core concepts in cognitive science such as planning, motivation, attention, and abstraction; and putting into sharp focus fundamental gaps in our present scientific understanding and engineering capacities that might be promising areas for new cross-disciplinary work.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Division of Public Safety and Security DPSS

Attendees will gain an overview of what human trafficking is and how they can help victims that they may encounter in their field of practice, with a particular emphasis on healthcare settings. We will explore the root causes of human trafficking and our role in perpetuating and combating the underlying causes. We will take a critical perspective on what it means to help a victim of trafficking and well-meaning interventions, which may unwittingly cause the individual’s arrest or deportation. Further, we will examine guiding principles for successful engagement with this population, including trauma-informed care, cultural awareness, and harm reduction. Finally, we will hear about local resources that providers can use if they suspect a client is a victim of human trafficking.

Speakers and panelist include:
- Elizabeth Campbell, JD; University of Michigan Law School, Human Trafficking Clinic
- Nicole McGee, PhD; Victim Assistance Program, FBI
- Wendi-Jo Wendt, MD; Michigan Medicine, Pediatrics-Emergency Medicine
- Carmen Uresti, LMSW; Michigan Medicine, Care Management, Social Work
