Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/list/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. A Religion & Feminism Author Roundtable: Muslims, Saints, & Jewishness in Latin America & The Caribbean (November 29, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99378 99378-21797972@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 29, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

Panel: Ken Chitwood, Aliyah Khan, William Calvo-Quirós, and Jocelyn Fenton Stitt.


The Global Islamic Studies Center (GISC) and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS) are proud to highlight and launch the new books of current and former University of Michigan faculty in religion and feminist studies in the Americas. The authors of three books in the field read from and discuss their work at a roundtable moderated by Dr. Ken Chitwood, author of The Muslims of Latin America and the Caribbean (2021).


William Calvo- Quirós discusses his *Undocumented Saints: The Politics of Migrating Devotions* (2022), which follows the migration of popular Catholic saints from Mexico into the U.S. and the evolution of their meaning in the context of racism and Latinx immigrant battles for survival.


Aliyah Khan talks about *Far from Mecca: Globalizing the Muslim Caribbean* (2020), the first academic monograph on Muslims in the English-speaking Caribbean, focusing on the gendered fiction, poetry, and music of Islam of enslaved West African Muslims, indentured South Asian Indian Muslims, and their descendants in Guyana, Trinidad, and Jamaica.


Jocelyn Fenton Stitt's *Dreams of Archives Unfolded: Absence and Caribbean Life Writing* (2021), the first academic book on pan-Caribbean life writing and the recent use of the genre by Caribbean women to explore historical and archival absences. This talk focuses on Cuban Jewishness, feminism, and formal practices used to write about historical absences.

Combining literary studies, cultural studies, anthropology, women’s and gender studies, and historiography, these books showcase the innovative, interdisciplinary ways in which religious studies and feminist scholars study and write about creolized and syncretic cultures in the Caribbean and the hemispheric Americas.


Ken Chitwood will be moderating this conversation. He is a religion scholar conducting research on ethnographic journalism with the University of Southern California’s Center for Religion and Civic Culture’s Engaged Spirituality Project and on Latinx Muslim philanthropy with the Muslim Philanthropy Initiative (MPI) at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at IUPUI. He is the author of the award-winning book, *The Muslims of Latin America and the Caribbean* (2021).

This event is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center (GISC) and co-sponsored by The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS).

Aiton Lecture: Rethinking the Aztecs: Have we been wrong for 500 years? (March 21, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105175 105175-21811239@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 21, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

In this talk, Professor Camilla Townsend, author of "Fifth Sun: A New History of the Aztecs," will address what we can learn from Nahuatl-language sources produced in the sixteenth century if we open ourselves to everything they have to teach us. She will also discuss what she believes are the reasons we have tended to be resistant to their messages, even in recent times.

Camilla Townsend is Board of Governors Distinguished Professor of History at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. She is the author of numerous books on Indigenous history, among them "Pocahontas and the Powhatan Dilemma" (2004), "Malintzin’s Choices: An Indian Woman in the Conquest of Mexico" (2006), and "Fifth Sun: A New History of the Aztecs" (2019), which won the 2020 Cundill Prize in History. Her research has been supported by such entities as the American Philosophical Society, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.

This lecture will take place in person in 1014 Tisch Hall on Tuesday, March 21 at 4:00 pm.

LACS Across Campus Interdisciplinary Events Series. Political Elites, Misinformation, and Mobilization: Evidence from Brazil (March 23, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105948 105948-21813302@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 23, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

Misinformation is a growing concern among the public and political elites. Yet we still lack a good understanding of the political effects of misinformation. We argue that misinformation contains politically motivated content that sends unambiguous signals in favor or against a political group, thus increasing the salience of political identities and making individuals more oriented towards political and partisan goals. Consequently, disseminating misinformation benefits politicians because this type of story is effective at mobilizing voters. We empirically test this argument using novel observational and experimental data from Brazil. We show that politicians' posts that contain misinformation have higher levels of seemingly positive interactions with social media users in Brazil. Furthermore, respondents who are exposed to misinformation show a lower willingness to participate in campaign-related activities in favor of the target of the misinformation and have lower levels of affect regarding that target. Although the effects we find are small, they indicate that misinformation may pay off by damaging the target of misinformation.

How Do We Think of Social Diversity: History and Politics in the Work of René Zavaleta Mercado (April 17, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/106684 106684-21814695@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 17, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Romance Languages & Literatures

Today’s call for diversity in the United States quite often reduces itself to body count. René Zavaleta Mercado (1937-1984), one of Latin America’s most imaginative social scientists, confronted the question of respecting diversity in the analysis of social reality in the twentieth century. *Towards a History of the National Popular in Bolivia*, now translated into English for the first time, confronts this question not only in terms of mere inclusion but in terms of a “motley” social situation, devising methodology to represent its demand.

Luis Tapia, our speaker, another imaginative Bolivian thinker and activist, is the leading expert on Zavaleta. In his own book, *The Production of Local Knowledge: History and Politics in the Work of René Zavaleta Mercado*, also translated into English for the first time, he lays out an epistemological program to make Zavaleta’s injunction real. Tapia’s talk will evolve from a crucial question: ‘How do we have to change ourselves so that the idea of a “motley” society does not turn into voting blocs, destroying democracy?

The Other 9-11: Reflections on the Anniversary of the 1973 Coup in Chile. “Secrets of State: The Declassified History of the Chilean Dictatorship” Exhibit (August 28, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/111387 111387-21826931@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, August 28, 2023 8:00am

The documents in this exhibit were declassified and made public as a result of years of research and FOIA advocacy by those promoting openness, particularly members of the National Security Archive. In the wake of the historic arrest in London of General Pinochet in October 1998, their efforts, among others, led President Bill Clinton to launch a special Chile Declassification Project in 1999 and the eventual release of over 24,000 formerly top secret documents.

Curated by Peter Kornbluh (Director of the Chile Documentation Project at the National Security Archive, an NGO dedicated to freedom of information and transparency), this exhibit was co-designed by Eimeel Castillo (Ph.D. Candidate in History and Women’s and Gender Studies) and Victoria Langland (Associate Professor of History).

Chile '76 is an intriguing historical noir that radiographs Pinochet's patronizing and patriarchal society through the eyes of a steely bourgeoise woman who dares to take a stand. Carmen heads off to her beach house to supervise its renovation. Her husband, children and grandchildren come back and forth during the winter vacation. When the family priest asks her to take care of a young man he is sheltering in secret, Carmen steps onto unexplored territories, away from the quiet life she is used to.

The documents in this exhibit were declassified and made public as a result of years of research and FOIA advocacy by those promoting openness, particularly members of the National Security Archive. In the wake of the historic arrest in London of General Pinochet in October 1998, their efforts, among others, led President Bill Clinton to launch a special Chile Declassification Project in 1999 and the eventual release of over 24,000 formerly top secret documents.

Curated by Peter Kornbluh (Director of the Chile Documentation Project at the National Security Archive, an NGO dedicated to freedom of information and transparency), this exhibit was co-designed by Eimeel Castillo (Ph.D. Candidate in History and Women’s and Gender Studies) and Victoria Langland (Associate Professor of History).
