This workshop highlights different types of outreach activities at the University of Michigan, in particular, D-RISE and Wolverine Pathways, and discusses their outcomes with recruiting underrepresented minority (URM) students from the greater Detroit area to Michigan, especially in STEM areas. The workshop will also explore ongoing campus climate issues, and discuss approaches that can be implemented to fundamentally address campus climate issues in more effective ways.

Professor Nicolai Lehnert, a 2021 Carol Hollenshead Inspire Award recipient, will begin the workshop with a flash talk about the D-RISE outreach program. A panel discussion, which features three campus leaders that are deeply involved in working on these issues, and current students from the University of Michigan, will follow.

The panel discussion will be moderated by Catalina Concha-Ormsby (Associate Director, CEO). Panelists include:

Campus Leaders:

Dr. Angela Dillard, (Chair, Department of History, Richard A. Meisler Collegiate Professor of Afroamerican & African Studies, and former Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education, LS&A)
Dr. Carla O’Connor, (Director, Wolverine Pathways;University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor and Arthur F Thurnau Professor, School of Education)
Dr. Whitney Peoples, (Director, Office for Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, University of Michigan School of Public Health)

University of Michigan Student Leaders:

Khyle Cross, Undergraduate Student, Senior, Political Science, LSA
Emmanuel Navarro, Graduate Student Instructor, PhD Student Rackham and LSA – Romance Language & Literature Spanish

An integral part of the Inspire initiative is pairing advocacy, social change, and activism with skills that enhance a sense of well-being, focus, and interconnectedness. A short guided Mindfulness Meditation practice will be incorporated into the program.

Participants are invited to stay after the workshop to enjoy refreshments and continued conversations.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Barger Leadership Institute

On Thursday, October 20, the BLI is hosting an in person screening of The Color of Care, followed by a conversation where we will discuss the film and talk about how we can mobilize to combat racism in healthcare with community leaders from New Detroit (Rebecca Irby), Packard Health (Oryanna Diem), and the School of Public Health (Becky Woolf).

The Color of Care chronicles how people of color suffer from systemically substandard healthcare. COVID-19 exposed what they have long understood and lived: they do not receive the same level of care. Produced by Ms. Winfrey’s Harpo Productions and directed by Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning director Yance Ford, the film traces the origins of racial health disparities to practices that began during slavery and continue today. Using moving personal testimony, expert interviews, and disturbing data, the film reveals the impact of racism on health, serving as an urgent warning of what must be done to save lives.

Representative Rashida Tlaib is an American politician and lawyer serving as the U.S. representative for Michigan’s 13th congressional district since 2019. The district includes the western half of Detroit, along with several of its western suburbs and much of the Downriver area. A member of the Democratic Party, Tlaib represented the 6th and 12th districts of the Michigan House of Representatives before her election to Congress. After serving, she worked at Sugar Law Center, a Detroit nonprofit that provides free legal representation for workers. In Congress, Tlaib is tackling one of the most significant drivers of poverty in our country – medical debt. With eight million Americans pushed into poverty due to medical expenses in 2018, Tlaib introduced The Consumer Protection for Medical Debt Collections Act (H.R. 2537), which would prohibit the collection of medical debt for two years, as well as debt from “medically necessary” procedures being included on one’s credit report. It passed the House in 2021 as part of a Comprehensive Debt Collection Act.

The talks, which are free and open to the public, will also be livestreamed on YouTube. U-M students can participate in the series as a one-credit course - look for it as SWK 503 section 001.

By participating in WeListen sessions, staff members will:
- Expand understanding of a prominent political topic
- Practice discussing difficult topics with others,
- Gain openness to new ideas and perspectives,
- Learn to productively challenge an idea, and
- Form a sense of community among fellow staff members.

Free and Open to the Public

A collaboration of Detroit Public Theatre & the Prison Creative Arts Project

More about the film:
MTV Documentary Films Presents *Angola Do You Hear Us? Voices From a Plantation Prison* (formerly known as A Peculiar Silence) tells the story of playwright Liza Jessie Peterson, whose acclaimed play *The Peculiar Patriot* was shut down mid-performance at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly known as Angola Prison.

Directed and edited by Cinque Northern, produced by Catherine Gund, featuring Liza Jessie Peterson and Norris Henderson (Peterson and Henderson are also Executive Producers), the film examines how one woman's play challenged the country's largest plantation prison and impacted the incarcerated men long after the record of her visit was erased by the institution's administration.

More about the play:
LaQuanda ‘Betsy’ Ross knows a lot about the New York State Penitentiary system. Her regular visits to loved ones in various upstate institutions have made her quite the expert and a self-proclaimed “Peculiar Patriot." In-between neighborhood updates and gossip, Betsy educates herself and the audience on the systemic inequity within America’s prison complex system and its effect on those behind bars, as well as their family and friends.

Written and performed by the incomparable Liza Jessie Peterson, The Peculiar Patriot was inspired by her comprehensive and extensive work in prisons, including on Riker’s Island. Peterson’s tour de force solo piece is an important, funny, and profound investigative look into America’s criminal justice system.

‘You Feel it in Your Bones’: Mobility, Animacy, and Incarceration in the United States (March 9, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105183 105183-21811267@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 9, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

In this presentation, I explore the ways in which incarcerated people center mobility in conceptualizing what counts as alive and human. I draw on ethnographic research that I conducted between 2016 and 2017 at the Desert Echo Facility (pseudonym), a state prison in the American Southwest that holds individuals from minimum to high-security levels. Some incarcerated people feel supposedly inanimate objects, such as walls and floors, moving, while others feel vibrations moving across the compound. For many of the incarcerated, physical movement signifies aliveness – meaning that incarceration forces them to question if they are less alive than the “inanimate” materials that confine them. Others understand these movements as the direct violence of the state that represent purposeful disruptions to the ways they construct relations. In this context, incarcerated peoples’ alive status is no longer a given and their relations no longer assumed to be inherent and ongoing, but rather, processes to be negotiated within criminal punishment systems. I focus on what these movements mean to incarcerated people, and how they situate these movements within often competing ontological frameworks informed by histories of and ongoing settler violence in what came to be known as the United States.

Content warning: There are examples of physical violence, carceral trauma, and feelings of self-harm in this presentation.

About the Speaker:
Dr. Macario Garcia is a cultural anthropologist with a focus on mobility, animacy, incarceration, and prison-industrial complex abolition. They earned their PhD from the University of Virginia and MA degrees from University of Virginia and American Public University. They are currently partnering with incarcerated people to create maps of carceral migration in the United States and to document oral histories across correctional landscapes.

For more info and to apply: https://www.cew.umich.edu/advocacy-initiatives/twink-frey-visiting-social-activist-program

Each year the Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist (TFVSA) Program brings to CEW+ a social justice activist whose work affects women and recognizes gender equity issues. One goal of the program is to build the capacity and effectiveness of social activists by giving the TFVSA time, space, and support to work on a project that would not be possible under the activist’s usual working circumstances.

The TFVSA program gives the selected TFVSA time for reflection, research, planning, and writing related to their area of activism. Each TFVSA is required to work on a project that will advance their future work and potentially benefit other activists.

If selected, the applicant is invited to reside near campus for up to one month or make intermittent visits to Ann Arbor and work remotely. The 2024 residency will take place during the winter semester with a presentation of their project the following fall semester at the CEW+ Annual Advocacy Symposium. The activist receives a $10,000 stipend to cover their expenses while in Ann Arbor. Travel expenses to and from Ann Arbor are separately reimbursed by the endowment fund.

ELIGIBILITY

The TFVSA program supports activists whose work addresses gender equity issues that affect the lives of women and/or girls. The program defines social justice and equity programs broadly to include activism in such areas as housing, employment, income support, food security, education, violence, child care, health care, and employer benefits like paid sick leave and retirement income.

Kurdish Women's Prison Writings Crossing Borders: Translation As Feminist Solidarity (March 15, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104615 104615-21809730@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 15, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

The Purple Color of Kurdish Politics is a one-of-a-kind collection of prison writings from twenty-two Kurdish women who were elected to office in Turkey and then imprisoned by the state on political grounds. In the book, the authors reflect on their personal and collective struggles against heteropatriarchal and anti-Kurdish repression in Turkey, as well as the radical feminist principles and practices through which they transformed the political structures and state offices in which they operated. Demonstrating Kurdish women's ceaseless political determination and refusal to be silenced - even when behind bars - the book ultimately hopes to inspire women living under even the most unjust conditions to engage in collective resistance.

The English translation of The Purple Color of Kurdish Politics, published in November 2022, was collectively undertaken by a group of twenty-six volunteer translators. So very much like the original text, the translation itself has been a product of feminist solidarity. In this panel, five members of the translation team get together to discuss the book and its English translation as part of the larger Kurdish women's movement.

Facilitated by Kourtney Pony, MD/MBA Candidate, University of Michigan; Rachel Bergmans, MPH, PhD, Research Investigator, University of Michigan Department of Anesthesiology, Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center (CPFRC)

This workshop references work with the Community Advisory Board for Lupus Care and Research (Lupus CAB) as a starting point to discuss racial inequities in healthcare and lupus more specifically. The presentation will be co-led by Kourtney Pony (student lead for the Lupus CAB, 3rd-year medical student) and Dr. Rachel Bergmans (faculty co-leader for the CPFRC Health Equity Core). The workshop will be a mixture of a lecture and group discussion to highlight racial inequities in healthcare. Participants will be divided into groups to discuss a series of questions as each inequity is revealed and they will learn from data that address each response. The nuance this workshop aims to capture is that there is a history of mistreatment towards Black patients within medicine, and there are still present-day problems that we must address to reduce inequities in lupus care and research, as well as the healthcare system in general.

Policy Talks at The Ford School: The Injustice of Place (October 4, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/112093 112093-21828426@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 4, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

Join for a conversation with the co-authors of The Injustice of Place alongside Michigan Congressman Dan Kildee and Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan COO Nicole Sherard-Freeman. Released in August 2023, The Injustice of Place sheds light on America’s most disadvantaged communities, tracing the legacies of our nation’s places of deepest need—including inequalities shaping people’s health, livelihoods, and upward social mobility for families. Wrung dry by powerful forces and corrupt government officials, the “internal colonies” in these regions were exploited for their resources and then left to collapse.

The book's co-authors will reflect briefly on the book, followed by an armchair conversation with Congressman Dan Kildee (D-MI) and Nicole Sherard-Freeman (COO, Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan).

About The Injustice of Place
Three of the nation’s top scholars ­– known for tackling key mysteries about poverty in America – turn their attention from the country’s poorest people to its poorest places. Based on a fresh, data-driven approach, they discover that America’s most disadvantaged communities are not the big cities that get the most notice. Instead, nearly all are rural. Little if any attention has been paid to these places or to the people who make their lives there.

This revelation set in motion a five-year journey across Appalachia, the Cotton and Tobacco Belts of the Deep South, and South Texas. Immersing themselves in these communities, pouring over centuries of local history, attending parades and festivals, the authors trace the legacies of the deepest poverty in America—including inequalities shaping people’s health, livelihoods, and upward social mobility for families. Wrung dry by powerful forces and corrupt government officials, the “internal colonies” in these regions were exploited for their resources and then left to collapse.

The unfolding revelation in The Injustice of Place is not about what sets these places apart, but about what they have in common—a history of raw, intensive resource extraction and human exploitation. This history and its reverberations demand a reckoning and a commitment to wage a new War on Poverty, with the unrelenting focus on our nation’s places of deepest need.
