Anti-Racism Is Never Not Intersectional (December 9, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88998 88998-21659587@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 9, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Panelists:
-Elizabeth Cole, Faculty Associate Director, National Center for Institutional Diversity; Professor of Women's and Gender Studies, Psychology, and Afroamerican and African Studies
-Elizabeth González, Education & Training Program Manager, Spectrum Center
-SaraEllen Strongman, Assistant Professor, Afroamerican and African Studies
-Ruby C. Tapia, Chair, Department of Women's and Gender Studies; Associate Professor, English Language & Literature and Women's and Gender Studies

Moderator: Anna Kirkland, Director, Institute for Research on Women and Gender; Arthur F. Thurnau Professor, Women's and Gender Studies; Political Science, Sociology, and Health Management & Policy (by courtesy)

The racial reckoning during 2020 sparked renewed energy to address pervasive structural racism and the resulting disparate inequities and injustices impacting minoritized communities and communities of color in the US. Institutions of higher education across the nation have expressed commitments to address racism in their organizations. Similarly, many institutions across the country have sought to focus new efforts to end harassment based on sex, sexuality, and gender, yet these efforts have often operated separately from the fight to address systemic racism.

At the College of Literature, Science & the Arts (LSA) at the University of Michigan, working groups have produced both an LSA Task Force on Anti-Racism and Racial Equality report and a Preventing Sexual Harassment report in recent months. Additionally, the university commissioned reports on high-profile cases of sexual misconduct (Philbert and Anderson) and created campus initiatives in response to national conversations around anti-racism.

This expert panel will help us to understand how systems of racism and sexism support and maintain each other, discuss recent efforts to grapple with these issues at Michigan, frame them within a broader theoretical and political context and then provide suggestions on how to move from intention to action and how to enact structural change that is transformational and sustainable.

Cosponsored by: The Institute for Research on Women and Gender, the Initiative on Gender Based Violence and Sexual Harassment at IRWG, the Women’s & Gender Studies Department, and the National Center for Institutional Diversity’s Anti-Racism Collaborative

This webinar will be recorded. Please register to receive the Zoom recording.

Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

A Digital Studies Institute panel discussion, co-presented by the University of Michigan and the Consulate General of Canada

The logic of so-called "technological evolution" categorizes innovations into binaries of Old/Defunct and New/Good, without a fluid understanding of time, influence, or use. Likewise, settler cultural studies compartmentalize indigenous peoples and practices as outside of the present time and space. This panel discussion taps into growing movements around the discussion of indigenous technologies and indigenous futures (itself a nod to Afrofuturism), taking a more expansive view of the holistic relationship between people and technologies. The panelists are coders, artists, and theorists who investigate not only the history but also the present and future of indigenous technologies, as well as the language and methodologies used to study them.

Presenters include:

- Amelia Winger-Bearskin, Banks Preeminence Chair and Associate Professor of Artificial Intelligence and the Arts, University of Florida, Digital Worlds Institute;
- Ron Eglash, Professor of Information, School of Information and Professor of Art and Design, Penny W Stamps School of Art and Design, University of Michigan;
- Jason Edward Lewis, University Research Chair in Computational Media and the Indigenous Future Imaginary at Concordia University;

Moderated by DSI Executive Director Marisa Olson, with opening remarks from the Consulate General of Canada.

This session will focus on helping students shift the sometimes rigid expectations and pressures they put on themselves. How can students expand their capacity for self-compassion in our “new normal”? What does goal-setting look like when we expand our idea of success to include potential failures or values-based intentions?

Epistemic Exclusion: Scholarly Devaluation that is a Barrier to Faculty Diversification (December 10, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89682 89682-21664877@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 10, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Engineering

Epistemic exclusion refers to the scholarly devaluation of faculty of color (and other faculty from marginalized groups), that deems their research as illegitimate, lacking value and outside of disciplinary norms.

It occurs because of biases built into seemingly neutral evaluation standards that govern faculty hiring, annual review and other evaluation processes. As such, it operates as a barrier to the recruitment, retention, and advancement of faculty of color.

U-M LSA professor Isis Settles will describe the nature of epistemic exclusion, the disciplinary and identity-based (e.g., related to a person’s gender or race) biases that underlie it and suggest strategies for change.

Black Women in Sports Leadership: Navigating Workplace Blackness (December 10, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89570 89570-21664219@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 10, 2021 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Identity is a critical attribute of effective leadership. Moreover, interactions in the workplace (be they formal or informal) shape employees’ identities, as they reveal the extent to which identities are accepted or contested (Sanchez-Hucles & Davis, 2010). Sport organizational cultures, aptly characterized as inequality regimes (Acker, 2006) established at the axes of race and gender (and other ascriptions), create habitus (Bourdieu, 1984) of inclusion and exclusion that uniquely impact the identity and the leadership opportunities and experiences of Black women employed therein. The climate of many sport organizational cultures often discourages Black women from ‘bringing’ their authentic Blackness into the workplace, requiring them to engage in a number social-psychological strategies to insulate and protect the essence of their ‘self’ at work. This presentation is an excerpt of a larger project on Black women in sport leadership (Simpkins & Armstrong, In Progress). It will discuss race as aesthetic labor (Williams & Connell, 2010), and it will illustrate the manner in which Black women sport leaders navigate their Blackness in the workplace as: (a) personal agency, and (b) embodied racial identity. It will conclude by discussing the need for inclusive organizational cultures and workplaces free of anti-Black racism where Black women may thrive in the fullness of their Blackness as leaders.

Changemakers | A Collectively Devised Play about the Early History of the University of Michigan School of Social Work (December 10, 2021 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89732 89732-21665268@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 10, 2021 7:30pm
Location: School of Social Work Building
Organized By: School of Social Work

As racial tensions rise on and off campus, three School of Social Work students overcome their differences as the School rallies itself for change in the face of the Great Depression.

This play, commissioned for the University of Michigan, School of Social Work Centennial (1921-2021), in collaboration with the Residential College Drama Program, focuses on the early history of the School and on the students and faculty who worked to create meaningful change in the world. This early period begins at the end of a global Spanish Flu pandemic and World War I and ends during the height of the Great Depression. This period saw the first undergraduate social work curriculum launched on the Ann Arbor campus and ends as the program moves to Detroit where the social work program remained until 1950.

Among the major themes is the struggle for racial justice, including challenging segregation on the University of Michigan campus. Early social work students were involved in an inter-racial alliance group, the Negro-Caucasian Club, that started in 1925 and the efforts of those students are depicted in the play.

This production is Directed by Aria Davis. Produced by Rich Tolman (SSW) and Kate Mendeloff (RC Drama). The cast includes faculty and students from the School of Social Work community.

CANCELED: Omission as the Modern Form of Bias Against Indigenous People (December 13, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89710 89710-21665073@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 13, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Psychology

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been canceled and will be rescheduled for a later date. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

In the U.S. cultural imagination, Indigenous Peoples loom large in romanticized and stereotyped ways, yet contemporary Indigenous Peoples are largely omitted from the public conscience. In K-12 education, for example, 87% of references to Indigenous Americans portray them in a pre-1900’s context. In mainstream media, less than .5% of representations are of contemporary Indigenous Peoples. Utilizing both experimental and national survey studies, I will demonstrate that prevalent representations of Indigenous Peoples (or lack thereof) shape how people think, feel, and subsequently act towards Indigenous Peoples, as well as how Indigenous Peoples feel about themselves and act to make change in society. Specifically, I will first show that recognizing Indigenous omission shapes discrimination and both implicit and explicit bias towards Indigenous Peoples, including attitudes about the use of redface, and apathy towards the Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls epidemic. I will then show how sensitivity to Indigenous omission has adverse psychological consequences for Indigenous Peoples’ wellbeing, but also serves to galvanize efforts to change the status quo through civic engagement. By making visible the pernicious consequences of omission and highlighting Indigenous agency and resistance to omission, we illuminate a path towards creating a more equitable future for Indigenous Peoples.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies

Please join us for a very special discussion between the curators of the UJIMA exhibit currently
on display in GalleryDAAS (G648 Haven Hall) and through a virtual audio/visual tour: myumi.ch/7ZQn0

DAAS welcomes Solomon Lucy, Zoe Allen, Justin Williams and Kai Dotson of the Black Student Union
with Elizabeth James and Arielle Chen of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies
as they discuss how the exhibit came to be created and the importance of this message at this time in history.

This exhibit focuses on the concept of Ujima (collective work and responsibility in Swahili)
as it pertains to activism on the campus of the University of Michigan over the years.
By seeing how collective actions can lead to powerful movements, the exhibit presents
a chronological display demonstrating the importance of calling for change.

The majority of photos and articles originate from campus resources
including the Bentley Historical Library, the Michigan Daily's archives and other
original materials.

UJIMA is dedicated to the students, faculty, staff, and alumni of the
University of Michigan who envisioned and exemplified the principle of Ujima to bring
about a more equitable and inclusive university through their thoughts and actions.

Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

As we celebrate the extraordinary life and message of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., it is important to note that his vision of hope and racial equity had ripple effects beyond our nation’ s borders. It is with the intention of adding an international perspective to the discussion of race and race relations that the German department is proud to present a curated screening of Schwarze Adler; a documentary film in which Black players of the German national soccer team tell their personal stories for the very first time. Their stories of challenges, successes and failures, as well as their prognostications on racism and identity in Germany, reflect the struggles faced by communities of color both within the sporting world and without.

Reparations is a topic that stirs up a lot of opinions on what the United States owes the descendants of enslaved Africans. Does it owe land? Money? Free college? Does it owe anything at all?

Housed in the U-M Center for Social Solutions, Crafting Democratic Futures aims to tackle the complex histories surrounding race by working with colleges and universities around the country to develop suggestions for research-informed, community-engaged racial reparations solutions.

For information on part two, a panel discussion, please see https://events.umich.edu/event/90200

Synopsis: Over half the world's population now lives in an urban area, and 75% will call a city home by 2050. But while some cities are experiencing explosive growth, others are shrinking. The challenges of balancing housing, mobility, public space, civic engagement, economic development, and environmental policy are fast becoming universal concerns. Yet much of the dialogue on these issues is disconnected from the public domain. By exploring a diverse range of urban design projects around the world, URBANIZED frames a global discussion on the future of cities.

Please note: This film will be in the main theater. The Michigan Theater requires proof of full COVID vaccination or show proof of a negative PCR test taken 72 hours of the event. Masks are required for all attendees and temperatures will be checked upon entry.

*For questions or requests for accommodation, please contact our office (atitus@umich.edu) as soon as possible.*

In order to have meaningful, productive conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion, we must start with a common language. This session will provide an introduction to key terminology as well as the categories and labels we use to describe others and ourselves. We will also examine how our identities shape the way we enter the world and our interactions with each other. Emphasis will be placed on using our identities to help us understand the identities and experiences of others.

In this session, participants will:

- Identify the benefits of inclusive environments
- Review key terminology related to diversity, equity, and inclusion
- Reflect on the origin of identities, their intersectionality, and their meanings
- Use our own identities as a window to understanding the identities of others to build more authentic, empathic relationships

Audience:

This session is open to all LSA employees. External guests may request to join as space allows.

Navigating at the Intersection of Two Pandemics: Exploring Black Engineering Graduate Students’ Simultaneous Experiences of COVID-19 and Racism-20 (January 19, 2022 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90470 90470-21671098@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 19, 2022 10:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

In this seminar, the presenter will share findings from an in-progress work and facilitate a conversation anchored in the experiences of Black graduate students in engineering (BGSE) at the intersections of two pandemics. This engaging conversation will support our awareness of how the experiences of BGSE as a marginalized group in engineering have been compounded by the simultaneous realities of COVID-19 and Racism-20 (systemic racism). Specifically, the duality of BGSE as Black people in America and Black graduate students in U.S. engineering programs creates a unique set of experiences about which little is known. This seminar will amplify the experiences of BGSE in this moment and their explicit needs with the goal of increasing institutional awareness, and thus accountability, for best supporting their persistence and success.

Brooke C. Coley, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor in Engineering at the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. She is also Principal Investigator of the Shifting Perceptions, Attitudes and Cultures in Engineering (SPACE) Lab, which aspires to elevate the experiences of marginalized populations, dismantle systemic injustices, and transform the way inclusion is cultivated in engineering through the implementation of novel technologies and methodologies in engineering education. Her active NSF-supported research focuses on three specific areas: the role of identity-related professional organizations in engineering student success, factors impacting trajectory decisions of engineering students from underrepresented groups at community colleges and creating pathways to engineering education research. Dr. Coley recently received the 2021 Diversity and Inclusion Award from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering for her commitment to creating and fostering a diverse and inclusive environment. She holds a BS degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Maryland Baltimore County.

In the standard story, the suffrage crusade began in Seneca Falls in 1848 and ended with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. But this overwhelmingly white women's movement did not win the vote for most black women. Securing their rights required a movement of their own. Historian Martha S. Jones’ 2020 book “Vanguard” shows how African American women defied both racism and sexism to fight for the ballot, and wielded political power to secure the equality and dignity of all persons. From the earliest days of the republic to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and beyond, black women—Maria Stewart, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Fannie Lou Hamer, and more—were the vanguard of women's rights, calling on America to realize its best ideals.

Anti-racist and community-centered research approaches for a more just and equitable society (January 25, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91087 91087-21676642@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 25, 2022 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

Recent years’ events — the COVID pandemic, the murder of George Floyd, and ongoing and new racial justice movements — have highlighted the need to address long-standing systems of oppression that continue to disadvantage and harm communities of color. The historical legacy and current systems of racism continue to plague and negatively impact the health and wholeness of our society, and these recent events have spurred increased awareness and commitments across organizations and institutions to adopt anti-racist strategies to dismantle oppressive and unjust systems.

Research and scholarship is one way that higher education institutions like University of Michigan (U-M) have played critical roles in informing the numerous and complex ways that racism operates in our society. This work has contributed to the development of innovative, evidence based interventions and actions to reduce and eliminate racism and its impacts — at systemic, institutional, and interpersonal levels.

This session is sponsored by the Anti-Racism Collaborative (ARC), a strategic space for engagement around anti-racism research and scholarship, and part of the provost's anti-racism initiative. The session features the inaugural cohort of the ARC Research and Community Impact Fellows — U-M faculty members who are engaged in cutting-edge research and scholarship on racial inequality and justice and who use a variety of community-centered approaches to affect change in multiple systems and settings.

Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) services will be provided.

Organized By: Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Program

WISE, WISE Residence Program, and CEDO present Paulette Vincent-Ruz, Ph.D.; My Journey to QuantCrit: How the Scientist Met The Fugitive In The Borderlands.

As a gateway to STEM, Chemistry Education Research (CER) has a moral imperative to progress toward more equitable student engagement with the sciences. While efforts to reform classrooms are ongoing, quantitative methods used in research can further propagate the marginalization and minoritization of specific student groups. This leads to the question “Can quantitative methods, long critiqued for their inability to capture the nuance of everyday oppression, support and further an equity agenda in CER overall?” Here, we present advancements in the framework of QuantCrit published across education research. While QuantCrit introduced 5 tenets toward identifying and avoiding oppressive quantitative practices, few works in CER employ tenants of QuantCrit resulting in “hyperpersitent” gap-gazing and deficit-oriented interpretations of student-level data that continue to marginalize specific student groups, despite best intentions. One of the barriers to applying QuantCrit is that it is hard to find advice on how to apply the principles empirically and how to make sure these principles are consistent with the researcher’s chosen theoretical framework. To support initiatives in CER seeking to transition to more equitable quantitative methods, suggestions for applying principles of QuantCrit to CER will be discussed.

Open to the campus community!

Disabusing Disability: Demonstrating That DISability Doesn't Mean Inability (January 31, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91007 91007-21675423@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 31, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Engineering

Disability is regularly neglected in conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion, yet it is the one demographic that we may all identify with one day. Disability should serve as a means of demonstrating that we are all much more similar than we are different.

As a disabled, black, Nigerian, immigrant, cis-gender heterosexual, male, physician, athlete, U-M Professor Oluwaferanmi Okanlami will talk about the intersectionality between all of those identities. He believes that disability is not inability. He encourages us to allow people to demonstrate what they can do, rather than attempting to limit them based on what they can’t.

Dr. Okanlami will engage the Michigan community in conversation about what each of us can do, within our own spheres of influence, to make sure we are not perpetuating ableism in our personal, academic and professional lives.


At Michigan Engineering, the job of creating a more diverse, equitable and inclusive community rests not within one organization or group of people, but with all of us. Only in this way can we move the field toward an equity-centered future. Equity-centered engineering is a guiding philosophy at the College that seeks to approach engineering with an intent to close—rather than unintentionally expand—societal gaps.

Equally interesting to me is Argentine Tango, a dance that I have enjoyed since childhood. My paintings and drawings will also reflect this obsession of mine.

STEM Women: Sharing our Stories, Illustrating our Resilience (February 22, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91312 91312-21677937@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 22, 2022 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

RSVP HERE: http://www.cew.umich.edu/events/stem-women-sharing-our-stories-illustrating-our-resilience

All of us have stories to share. Reflecting upon your life, choices you made, how you overcame obstacles - highlights your personal strengths and motivations. Sharing your story with others…the paths, the deviations, the obstacles and the joys, the large and small things that kept you going, is both human and more importantly - could be a critical example for someone struggling with a similar situation. Understanding the choices and actions that strengthen resilience is sometimes called true grit. The realization that this was an underserved area of STEM research, that would be important to anyone- women, people of color, or any socially obstructed group- who needed examples during difficult challenges, motivated my work. We will learn what evidence supports resilience training. I will share a few stories I have heard—promising and challenging, and the ways these individuals succeeded. Some of the common underlying themes will be discussed.

PART ONE - Introduction. The first part of the workshop will be a presentation of my path and experiences. How I resolved my desire to support women in STEM by discovering and sharing stories. I will acknowledge my challenges and choices in work and family, and share other stories of challenge and grit.

PART TWO - Sharing stories. Next, small groups of individuals will be formed. Each person, as comfortable, will share a story demonstrating resilience, identifying their own support and motivations. They will then call upon each other to help solve obstacles they currently face.

PART THREE - Wrap up. In a wrap-up, each group will be asked to share one example of a resilience challenge. Participants will take away an understanding of their own motivations and “true grit”, help someone else navigate an obstacle, and get support for their own journey.

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.

Abstract:

In the Peixoto lab we use genomic approaches to understand gene expression and its epigenetic regulation in response to learning and sleep deprivation, and its alteration in autism spectrum disorders. This requires combining behavioral paradigms in mice, molecular biology and the analysis of high-throughput data in the brain in vivo. It also requires using the right data analysis tools to be able to capture the effect of learning or sleep in the context of an ever-active brain. In this talk we will discuss the effects of learning on chromatin accessibility and the effects of sleep loss in gene expression, with an emphasis on how data analysis influences our ability to detect novel and reproducible biology.

Short bio:

Lucia Peixoto received her bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from the Universidad de la Republica in her native Uruguay in 2002. She subsequently earned her Ph.D. at The University of Pennsylvania under the mentorship of Dr. David S. Roos, using genomic and computational biology approaches to understand host-pathogen interactions. She completed her postdoctoral training in Neuroscience with Dr. Ted Abel at The University of Pennsylvania in 2015. During her fellowship, she was also a trainee at the Training Program in Neurodevelopmental disabilities at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. As a trainee at CHOP, she completed a clinical internship at the Center for Autism Research under the supervision of Dr. Robert Schultz. She became an Assistant Professor at Washington State University in 2015 and has since been recognized with a K01 Early Career Faculty award from NIH/NINDS and a pilot award from the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative. She is also a member of the board of directors of the International Society of computational biology (ISCB) and cochair the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion committee of ISCB. Her lab uses behavior, electrophysiology, molecular biology and genomic approaches to understand how sleep and learning modulate transcription and how this may be altered in Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Centering Social Justice in Community Engagement (February 24, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91421 91421-21679468@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 24, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

Faculty and staff across higher education are re-imagining service-learning and community engagement work in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing racial justice efforts in the last couple of years. The inequalities we are seeing make clear the need to center social justice in these efforts.

The Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning (MJCSL) in collaboration with the National Center for Institutional Diversity at the University of Michigan published a timely special issue on Centering Social Justice in the Scholarship of Community Engagement, highlighting the opportunities and challenges of higher education civic and community engagement and ways for scholars and practitioners to move towards more just and equitable community outcomes.

This special conversation will feature journal special issue guest editors:

Dr. Tania Mitchell, Associate Professor of Higher Education in the Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy and Development at the University of Minnesota’s College of Education and Human Development
Dr. Tabbye Chavous, Director of the National Center for Institutional Diversity; Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts; and Professor of Education and Psychology at the University of Michigan

Moderated by Dr. Cecilia Morales, managing editor of MJCSL, this special conversation will offer insights and experience in using community engagement as a practice for achieving social justice, within higher education and beyond our institutions’ walls. They will also offer advice for scholars seeking to define and advance social justice principles in their research and practice, as well as recommendations for how institutions can transform policy and practices such as hiring, promotion, tenure, and reward systems to advance the work of centering social justice in community engagement.

Participants will also have an opportunity to join topical breakout sessions with special issue authors that will explore:

-Designing and Measuring Student Learning Outcomes for Social Justice
-The Value of Interdisciplinary Methodologies for Achieving Social Justice
-Centering Community Partners in Knowledge Production

Modern society sits at the intersection of two crucial questions: What does it mean when artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly governs our liberties? And what are the consequences for the people AI is biased against? When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that most facial-recognition software does not accurately identify darker-skinned faces and the faces of women, she delves into an investigation of widespread bias in algorithms. As it turns out, artificial intelligence is not neutral, and women are leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected.

Coded Bias explores the fallout of Joy Buolamwini´s startling discovery that facial recognition does not see dark-skinned faces and women accurately, and her journey to push for the first-ever legislation in the U.S. to govern against bias in the algorithms that impact us all.

Filmmaker Shalini Kantayya’s Coded Bias premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim. Coded Bias was broadcast nationally on the Emmy-award-winning series Independent Lens and began streaming on Netflix globally in Spring 2021. The film won a SIMA Award for Best Director and has been nominated for a Critics’ Choice Award, and an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Documentary, among others.

They will share the difficulties, pressure, and scrutiny of being a DEI leader in difficult racial and political times. Webinar participants will learn how these leaders contended with their particularly difficult controversies and how they decided to “lead or leave.”

Q&A with Coded Bias filmmaker Shalini Kantayya (March 16, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93259 93259-21702067@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 16, 2022 12:00pm

Join DEI @ UMSI in collaboration with North Quad Programming for a virtual Q&A session with Coded Bias director Shalini Kantayya from noon-1 p.m. on Wednesday, Mar. 16. Register here https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/53857

Modern society sits at the intersection of two crucial questions: What does it mean when artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly governs our liberties? And what are the consequences for the people AI is biased against ? When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that most facial-recognition software does not accurately identify darker-skinned faces and the faces of women, she delves into an investigation of widespread bias in algorithms. As it turns out, artificial intelligence is not neutral, and women are leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected.

Coded Bias explores the fallout of Joy Buolamwini´s startling discovery that facial recognition does not see dark-skinned faces and women accurately, and her journey to push for the first-ever legislation in the U.S. to govern against bias in the algorithms that impact us all.

Filmmaker Shalini Kantayya’s Coded Bias premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim. Coded Bias was broadcast nationally on the Emmy-award-winning series Independent Lens and began streaming on Netflix globally in Spring 2021. The film won a SIMA Award for Best Director and has been nominated for a Critics’ Choice Award, and an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Documentary, among others.

Location: Biological Sciences Building
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University of Michigan presents the 17th Annual Early Career Scientists Symposium: Racial Justice and Anti-Racist Research in EEB. We are delighted to announce that our featured speaker, Steward Pickett, distinguished urban ecologist from the Cary Institute and this year’s eminent ecologist of the Ecological Society of America, will open the symposium. A panel discussion led by Nicholas Reo, Associate Professor of Native American Studies at Dartmouth will bring the symposium to its conclusion.

Eight early career scholars who are transforming our discipline through anti-racist and justice-centered research that pushes our understanding of the links between EEB research and society, will present their perspectives in many areas of EEB, such as Global Environmental Change, Genomics and Population Genetics, Urban Ecology and Evolution, Environmental History, STEM Education, Marine Ecology, Water Security, Theoretical Ecology and Evolution, Global Food Systems, and Disease Ecology. The goal of this symposium is to provide a space for the EEB community to think imaginatively about the future of our discipline.

The symposium will begin on Saturday, March 19, 2022 (2 - 6 pm EDT) in-person and live-streamed, followed by three consecutive virtual Fridays from March 25– April 8, 2022 (noon - 2 pm EDT). Two to three participants will present each Friday, followed by a moderated discussion.

**ALL TIMES ARE EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)**

While the symposium presents the work of rising early career scientists, it is open to all (i.e., you don’t have to be in your early career to attend).

REGISTRATION is required for in person and Zoom entry. You will be provided with the link and passcode upon registration. https://myumi.ch/ECSSregister

The last few years have shown a substantial increase in bias-motivated incidents in the United States. In fact, the FBI reported that 2021 marked a 12 year high in reported hate crimes. Events such as the murder of Ahmaud Arbery and a shooting rampage targeting Asian women in Atlanta are examples of racially motivated crimes. A recent hostage standoff at a Texas synagogue suggests that this violent trend will continue into 2022.

In this virtual event, Dr. Melissa Borja, a religion scholar and 2022 Anti-Racism Collaborative Research and Impact Fellow, leads a discussion with other religion scholars who draw on their research and scholarship to inform their involvement in anti-racist and social justice efforts in religious communities. Discussion topics include the possibilities and perils of using religion as a starting point for having important conversations about difficult topics, such as racism and immigration, and the challenges and opportunities of applying one's research and scholarship to influence social change in religious communities.

Award-winning artist and publisher Carta Monir (small press link) presents a workshop on making work that scares you. From work about family to sex, to one's own body, there are many subjects that can feel off-limits for artists. Carta will walk you through exercises designed to start you thinking about your own approach to 'loaded' work, and work with the entire group to figure out if there is such a thing as 'going too far' where personal narratives are concerned. While not pornographic, this is an 18+ event and some sensitive topics will be addressed.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University of Michigan presents the 17th Annual Early Career Scientists Symposium: Racial Justice and Anti-Racist Research in EEB. We are delighted to announce that our featured speaker, Steward Pickett, distinguished urban ecologist from the Cary Institute and this year’s eminent ecologist of the Ecological Society of America, will open the symposium. A panel discussion led by Nicholas Reo, Associate Professor of Native American Studies at Dartmouth will bring the symposium to its conclusion.

Eight early career scholars who are transforming our discipline through anti-racist and justice-centered research that pushes our understanding of the links between EEB research and society, will present their perspectives in many areas of EEB, such as Global Environmental Change, Genomics and Population Genetics, Urban Ecology and Evolution, Environmental History, STEM Education, Marine Ecology, Water Security, Theoretical Ecology and Evolution, Global Food Systems, and Disease Ecology. The goal of this symposium is to provide a space for the EEB community to think imaginatively about the future of our discipline.

The symposium will begin on Saturday, March 19, 2022 (2 - 6 pm EDT) in-person and live-streamed, followed by three consecutive virtual Fridays (noon - 2 pm EDT) from March 25– April 8, 2022. Two to three participants will present each Friday, followed by a moderated discussion. For the symposium, we consider early career scientists as senior graduate students (who stand to receive their Ph.D. within two years), postdoctoral researchers, faculty or staff scientists within their first or second year, and researchers at equivalent career stages who are not affiliated with an academic institution.

While the symposium presents the work of rising early career scientists, it is open to all (i.e., you don’t have to be in your early career to attend).

Please contact the planning committee with questions: ecss-2022@umich.edu.

REGISTRATION is required for Zoom entry. You will be provided with the link and passcode upon registration. https://myumi.ch/ECSSregister

Does Cryptocurrency Have a Future? (March 25, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93617 93617-21706429@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 25, 2022 12:00pm

It’s increasingly hard to find anyone to seriously defend the current state of cryptocurrencies. The predominant use of cryptocurrencies is speculation, which is almost certain to result in a bubble and crash. The second most common use is for fraud and crime of one kind or another. The largest currencies, notably BitCoin, are now among the most egregious contributors to climate change.

In this informal talk and discussion, Nathaniel Borenstein will explain how the very concept of cryptocurrency has been hijacked by people and groups with personal or political agendas. In particular, he will try to separate the current generation of cryptocurrencies and their problems from the wider range of digital currencies that have existed in the past and are likely to exist in the future, and will discuss how, if they were better designed and regulated, cryptocurrencies might yet play a valuable role in the economy.

Nathaniel hopes for a lively discussion rather than just a lecture. While he will not hide his beliefs, he will try to be aware of and transparent about his own biases, and welcomes a constructive discussion with anyone holding opposing views.

Nathaniel Borenstein has been an Internet innovator since 1980. In 1994, he founded the first online payment system, First Virtual Holdings, and in 2000, he founded the first network-based point-of-sale system, NetPOS. He has followed developments in online payments since the 1980's, and he sees Bitcoin as a genuine threat to human civilization.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Not Yo' Butterfly
My Long Song of Relocation, Race, Love, and Revolution

By NOBUKO MIYAMOTO
(University of California Press, 2021)

www.ucpress.edu/9780520380653

A mold-breaking memoir of Asian American identity, political activism, community, and purpose.
Not Yo’ Butterfly is the intimate and unflinching life story of Nobuko Miyamoto—artist, activist, and mother. Beginning with the harrowing early years of her life as a Japanese American child navigating a fearful west coast during World War II, Miyamoto leads readers into the landscapes that defined the experiences of twentieth-century America and also foregrounds the struggles of people of color who reclaimed their histories, identities, and power through activism and art.
Miyamoto vividly describes her early life in the racialized atmosphere of Hollywood musicals and then her turn toward activism as an Asian American troubadour with the release of A Grain of Sand—considered to be the first Asian American folk album. Her narrative intersects with the stories of Yuri Kochiyama and Grace Lee Boggs, influential in both Asian and Black liberation movements. She tells how her experience of motherhood with an Afro-Asian son, as well as a marriage that intertwined Black and Japanese families and communities, placed her at the nexus of the 1992 Rodney King riots—and how she used art to create interracial solidarity and conciliation.
Through it all, Miyamoto has embraced her identity as an Asian American woman to create an antiracist body of work and a blueprint for empathy and praxis through community art. Her sometimes barbed, often provocative, and always steadfast story is now told.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Nobuko Miyamoto is a third-generation Japanese American songwriter, dance and theater artist, and activist, and is the Artistic Director of Great Leap. Her work has explored ways to reclaim and decolonize our minds, bodies, histories, and communities, using the arts to create social change and solidarity across cultural borders. Two of Nobuko’s albums are part of the Smithsonian Folkways catalog: A Grain of Sand, with Chris Iijima and Charlie Chin, produced by Paredon Records in 1973, and 120,000 Stories, released by Smithsonian Folkways in 2021.

Nobuko Miyamoto is an icon of Asian American music and activism. Since the early 1970s, she has been exploring ways to reclaim and respirit our minds, bodies, histories, and communities, using the arts to create social change and forge solidarity. 120,000 Stories collects powerful new songs, reinterpretations of old ones, and recordings from across her career, including from the seminal 1973 album A Grain of Sand and the band Warriors of the Rainbow. These songs speak to past and present struggles—for self-determination, Black Lives, the environment. They chronicle difficult histories, they celebrate resilient traditions, and most of all, they endeavor to connect communities.

Women in Tech: Closing the Gap

Wednesday March 30, 4:00-5:30pm via Zoom.

Women are obtaining degrees in STEM but struggle joining and staying in the tech industry. Women make up 20% of engineering graduates, yet only 11% of practicing engineers are women. Nearly 40% of women who earn engineering degrees quit or never enter the profession. The primary reasons women are underrepresented in technology are lack of mentors; lack of female role models in the field; gender bias in the workplace; unequal growth opportunities compared to men; and unequal pay for the same positions. In 2018, 53% of women quit their STEM jobs because of these scenarios. Despite the obvious obstacles that women in technology face, their contributions have been exemplary. Join our panel of innovative Women in Technology as they discuss the importance of closing the gender gap in STEM; and the importance of increasing the female population in the field

This conversation will explore how we respond differently to different world events prompted by the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine. We will explore how to navigate our fears. We will also share resources of how we might offer support. We will also have conversation about what gets media attention and discussed and what does not. Lastly, how we do we navigate conversations and ideas that differ from our own and not get activated in the space?



Community Conversations are an opportunity for faculty, staff and student to come together bi-weekly to engage on meaningful ways to increase belonging at Michigan Medicine. We feel that it is important to carve out space for dialogue, provide support for one another, promote self-care, and share valuable resources. The sessions are designed for space to hear your voice and all are welcome!

Presented by: Eli Olson, Hannah Schrader, and Sarah Steiner representing Developing Future Biologists (DFB), CEW+ 2021 Carol Hollenshead Inspire Award for Excellence in Promoting Equity & Social Change Award Winner

In the past two years, DFB has received almost 100 applications/year for their short course. Due to logistical and financial constraints, they are limited to only taking 25-35 students/year. The demand for more courses like this is high, and as emphasized in their lightning talk (https://youtu.be/ipOEjJOT4aw), they believe having more specialty courses like this is a great way to engage students from underserved populations. This workshop will go over the logistics of financing, developing, and conducting a course like DFB, with a particular focus on providing hands-on experience in a virtual environment. At the end of this workshop, participants will have a better understanding of the needs of underserved populations, and the necessary tools to begin to design a lab-intensive short course that caters to those needs.

Additionally, 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.

Developing Future Biologists (DFB) is an educational outreach organization led by graduate students and postdocs at the University of Michigan. Its mission is to ensure that the next generation of biologists, regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic status, can learn the core concepts of developmental biology and are made aware of the vast opportunities that exist to pursue a career in the sciences.

Dental care providers and patients from LGBTQ+ backgrounds: Dental education and research observations from 1994 to 2022 (March 31, 2022 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93114 93114-21700736@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 31, 2022 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

In 1994, the University of Michigan School of Dentistry conducted a first cultural climate study. Writing a report about the results of focus groups with dental students, staff and faculty members from LGBTQ+ backgrounds was the motivation to engage in ongoing educational and research efforts since then. Yearly surveys with first year dental students between 1997 and 2022 showed that a lack of interest in learning about treating patients from LGBTQ+ backgrounds persisted over this time span and that an interest in learning about gender and women’s issues actually decreased over these 25 years. National surveys with dental students and dental and dental hygiene administrators showed a lack of education about treating patients from LGBTQ+ backgrounds in these programs, while analyses of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey provided empirical evidence concerning increased risk factors for poor oral health and lack of health care utilization of members of the adult LGBTQ+ community. National surveys with general dentists and pediatric dentists completed the picture concerning attitudes and professional behavior related to pediatric and adult patients from LGBTQ+ backgrounds and pediatric patients on puberty blockers. Lessons learned from these research observations across a quarter century will be discussed.

About Dr. Marita R. Inglehart:

Inglehart is a professor of dentistry in the Department of Periodontics and Oral Medicine, an adjunct professor in the Department of Psychology, and a University Diversity & Social Transformation Professor at the University of Michigan. She received her education at the University of Mannheim in Germany where she was a faculty member until 1984 when she came to Ann Arbor as a visiting professor.

Dr. Inglehart studies the role of diversity and social justice in dental education and in oral health care settings. Her research has focused on how to educate future and current dental care providers to become culturally literate, and on documenting how poor oral health of patients from underserved backgrounds affects their quality of life. Currently, Dr. Inglehart's research focuses on how being a person who self identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community affects their oral health, having risk factors related to poorer oral health, and oral health care experiences.

She has published over 150 peer-reviewed publications, five books and numerous book chapters.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University of Michigan presents the 17th Annual Early Career Scientists Symposium: Racial Justice and Anti-Racist Research in EEB. We are delighted to announce that our featured speaker, Steward Pickett, distinguished urban ecologist from the Cary Institute and this year’s eminent ecologist of the Ecological Society of America, will open the symposium. A panel discussion led by Nicholas Reo, Associate Professor of Native American Studies at Dartmouth will bring the symposium to its conclusion.

Eight early career scholars who are transforming our discipline through anti-racist and justice-centered research that pushes our understanding of the links between EEB research and society, will present their perspectives in many areas of EEB, such as Global Environmental Change, Genomics and Population Genetics, Urban Ecology and Evolution, Environmental History, STEM Education, Marine Ecology, Water Security, Theoretical Ecology and Evolution, Global Food Systems, and Disease Ecology. The goal of this symposium is to provide a space for the EEB community to think imaginatively about the future of our discipline.

The symposium will begin on Saturday, March 19, 2022 (2 - 6 pm EDT) in-person and live-streamed, followed by three consecutive virtual Fridays (noon - 2 pm EDT) from March 25– April 8, 2022. Two to three participants will present each Friday, followed by a moderated discussion. For the symposium, we consider early career scientists as senior graduate students (who stand to receive their Ph.D. within two years), postdoctoral researchers, faculty or staff scientists within their first or second year, and researchers at equivalent career stages who are not affiliated with an academic institution.

While the symposium presents the work of rising early career scientists, it is open to all (i.e., you don’t have to be in your early career to attend).

Please contact the planning committee with questions: ecss-2022@umich.edu.

Halfway Home: Race, Punishment and The Afterlife of Mass
Incarceration
Reuben Miller, Associate Professor at the University of Chicago, Research Professor at the American Bar Foundation, & Author

Over half a million people are released from prison each year. They
join a staggering twenty million Americans who live with a felony record. They return to a new world, where over 44,000 laws and policies dictate where they may go, with whom they may live and how they spend their time. This is mass incarceration in America, but it’s a reality we don’t hear enough about.

Professor Reuben Jonathan Miller was confronted by these brute facts, as a chaplain at the Cook County Jail in Chicago during the height of mass incarceration, as the son and brother of formerly incarcerated men and as a sociologist studying mass incarceration’s afterlife. Miller has spent a career walking alongside people we've locked away and the families who suffer with them. His work reveals a simple, if overlooked, truth: mass incarceration has an afterlife, and that afterlife is its own form of prison. Join us as Professor Miller shares his work and as we look to find a way out.

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

In this seminar, I plan to discuss culturally relevant pedagogy and its importance in our engineering education practices. I also plan to focus on the importance of incorporating the voices of our students, especially those from traditionally marginalized backgrounds in our teaching practices. My goal is to help participants improve their learning environments and teaching practices by acknowledging and supporting the cultural knowledge and assets that students possess. Just as our learning environments are complex, so are the individuals that comprise them. Everyone has visible as well as “invisible” cultural identities and culturally relevant pedagogy attends to those differences. Learning happens when we can connect the new knowledge we are receiving to our previous experiences, so being able to make those connections despite our backgrounds is really important. Similarly, a key aspect of learning is to feel safe. When we feel safe and recognize that our ideas are valued, and who we are is important and relevant to the learning community, we have the motivation to engage with the collective construction of knowledge. Best practices around CRP and some research results will also be shared.

Giving Rare Populations a Voice in Public Opinion Research: Pew Research Center’s Strategies for Surveying Muslim Americans, Jewish Americans, and Other Populations
April 6, 2022, noon ET via Zoom

Speaker: Courtney Kennedy, Director of Survey Research at Pew Research Center

Abstract:

A typical public opinion survey cannot provide reliable insights into the attitudes and experiences of relatively small and diverse religious groups, such as adults identifying as Jewish or Muslim. Not only are the sample sizes too small, but adults who speak languages such as Russian, Arabic, or Farsi (and not English) are excluded from interviewing. This presentation discusses how Pew Research Center has sought to address this research gap by fielding large, multilingual probability-based surveys of special populations. Examples include the Center’s 2017 Survey of Muslim Americans and the 2020 Survey of Jewish Americans. These studies present numerous challenges in sampling, recruitment, crafting appropriate questions, and weighting. The presentation will also discuss the Center’s methods for studying racial and ethnic populations with the goal of reporting on diversity within these populations, as opposed to treated them as monolithic groups.

Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University of Michigan presents the 17th Annual Early Career Scientists Symposium: Racial Justice and Anti-Racist Research in EEB. We are delighted to announce that our featured speaker, Steward Pickett, distinguished urban ecologist from the Cary Institute and this year’s eminent ecologist of the Ecological Society of America, will open the symposium. A panel discussion led by Nicholas Reo, Associate Professor of Native American Studies at Dartmouth will bring the symposium to its conclusion.

Eight early career scholars who are transforming our discipline through anti-racist and justice-centered research that pushes our understanding of the links between EEB research and society, will present their perspectives in many areas of EEB, such as Global Environmental Change, Genomics and Population Genetics, Urban Ecology and Evolution, Environmental History, STEM Education, Marine Ecology, Water Security, Theoretical Ecology and Evolution, Global Food Systems, and Disease Ecology. The goal of this symposium is to provide a space for the EEB community to think imaginatively about the future of our discipline.

The symposium will begin on Saturday, March 19, 2022 (2 - 6 pm EDT) in-person and live-streamed, followed by three consecutive virtual Fridays (noon - 2 pm EDT) from March 25– April 8, 2022. Two to three participants will present each Friday, followed by a moderated discussion. For the symposium, we consider early career scientists as senior graduate students (who stand to receive their Ph.D. within two years), postdoctoral researchers, faculty or staff scientists within their first or second year, and researchers at equivalent career stages who are not affiliated with an academic institution.

While the symposium presents the work of rising early career scientists, it is open to all (i.e., you don’t have to be in your early career to attend).

Please contact the planning committee with questions: ecss-2022@umich.edu.

REGISTRATION is required for Zoom entry. You will be provided with the link and passcode upon registration. https://myumi.ch/ECSSregister
