"Social Change in Action: How to be a change agent in a world that feels out of control" (September 14, 2022 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97362 97362-21794445@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 14, 2022 12:30pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: School of Social Work

The Social Justice Changemaker Lecture series, established by a generous gift from Neil and Annmarie Hawkins, focuses on important global social justice issues, including race and nationality, immigration and refugees, income inequality, gender identity and sexual orientation, education, health, and mental and physical abilities. The Lecture aims to bring prominent social justice experts and advocates from multiple disciplines, including social sciences, science, humanities, the arts, and the professions, to the University of Michigan Campus.

This year's lecture will focus on exploring ways to be a change agent during challenging times and how to use philanthropy as a force for social change. Darren Walker will talk about how he sees his position at the Ford Foundation and the role of philanthropy. He will discuss the idea of "trust-based" philanthropy and that being a leader is sometimes being a convener.

*This event will take place in person - A livestream option will be made available on the SSW homepage. Continuing education hours will only be offered for the in-person event.*

About the Positive Links Speaker Series:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About the Event:
As workplaces have become increasingly disconnected, individuals have a stronger need for a sense of connection and community. They want to work in environments in which they can be their authentic selves and are valued for their contributions. Leaders are expected to build these types of environments, but to do so in a moment when their plates are already full.

This talk will explore the how of inclusive leadership. Based on her body of research and advisory work with organizations, Quinetta will offer strategies for developing an inclusive mindset and practicing leadership behaviors for creating more inclusive work environments. By incorporating inclusive leadership into daily activities and interactions, we can foster workplaces in which everyone feels enabled to be their best selves.

Race and Racism, Comparatively: A Fall 2022 Series (September 20, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96941 96941-21793600@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 20, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Comparative Literature

“Race and Racism, Comparatively” is a series of three conversations highlighting the work of scholars both in and beyond U-M whose scholarship is contributing to much-needed conversations on the global dimension of race, racism, and their impacts. Through these events, we seek to help broaden the aperture through which the academic community considers these themes, encouraging an understanding of a dynamic and interconnected set of systems, practices and material effects.

September 20th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Virtual conversation with University of Pennsylvania scholar and president of the Middle East Studies Association, Eve Troutt Powell and Tennessee State University scholar, Keisha Brown. A cultural historian, Professor Troutt Powell’s scholarship has focused the history of the modern Middle East with a particular emphasis on slavery in the Nile Valley and in the former Ottoman Empire. Professor Brown’s work has focused on modern China and the negotiation of Sino-Blackness; her research interests broadly include ethnic and race studies, postcolonial theory and social and cultural history in East Asia.

October 4th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Roundtable featuring U-M faculty whose scholarship takes up the question of race and racism according to a transnational lens. The areas of focus represented among the participants include: the construction of blackness in the Francophone world; race, gender and Islam; the role of race and racialization as a tool of biopower in Mexico; and race and representation in US classrooms, literature and media. This event will be in-person at Kuenzel Room in the Michigan League, with a hybrid stream option.
Register for streaming here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ce6GMDBUSPyNH94U9LQBDg

November 1st 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Pedagogy Workshop. The groups will function as both an opportunity to reflect on the provocations raised during previous two events, dissect our assumptions about race on the global stage, and exchange ideas and best practices for teaching the same. The aim is to create a constructive and productive dialogue which will ideally produce a series of “best practices'' for teaching race and racism from a comparative, global standpoint. This event will be in-person at the Vandenberg Room in the League, with a hybrid stream option on Zoom. Register for streaming here:

The CEW+ Advocacy Symposium returns in person this fall to bring together staff, faculty, students, and community members to create change through introspection, dialogue, and action. 

This year’s symposium will feature:

Opening Session: Financial Empowerment roundtable discussions and lunch hosted by Laurita Thomas, Executive in Residence, Center for Positive Organizations, President, American Research Universities Human Resources Institute;  with opening remarks from Anne Ollen, MA, CEBS, Managing Director, TIAA Institute; and Tiffany Marra, PhD, CEW+ Director.

A capstone presentation by outgoing CEW+ Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist, Theresa Anderson, Senior Researcher, Urban Institute.

CEW+ will also announce the incoming 2023 CEW+ Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist. 

Workshops hosted by CEW+, the Ginsberg Center, the Program on Intergroup Relations, and SAPAC are designed to showcase a variety of approaches to advocacy. Workshops provide attendees the opportunity to engage in self-reflection, group discussion, and action-planning to advance their advocacy efforts on behalf of causes that are central to their personal and professional goals.

The awarding of the 2022 Carol Hollenshead Inspire Award for Excellence in Promoting Equity and Social Change. Awardees include faculty, staff, and students whose sustained efforts have resulted in greater equity with regard to gender, race, class, age disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation. Awardees will present lightning talks and participate in a panel discussion.

The Christobel Kotelawela Weerasinghe Lecture, “From Protests to Policy Reforms: Advancing Gender Equality in a Complex, Multi-ethnic and Multi-Religious Nigeria,” presented by Dr. Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi, founding Director of Women Advocates Research and Documentation Center and executive board member of the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding and the Nigerian Women’s Trust Fund. Dr. Akiyode-Afolabi is a professor, lawyer, and civil rights activist whose work is focused on maternal and reproductive health advocacy, gender-based violence, social justice, and the underrepresentation of women in governance.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Please note: This session is intended for participants in the Rackham Professional Development DEI Certificate Program.
The Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) is used in multiple ways in the Rackham Professional Development DEI Certificate Program. Participants complete the IDI at the beginning and end of the certificate as an evaluation tool for the program. Once the IDI is completed for the first time, participants can join one of a number of group results sessions. This session focuses on the theoretical foundations of the IDI, gives a group result of DEI Certificate participants, and provides tools to better understand the continuum of mindsets individuals utilize as their strategy for navigating across difference.
Group session participants will leave with a fundamental understanding of multiple approaches to navigating across difference and resources they can use in their organizations, groups, or affiliations. This session also serves as the initial step before an individual results session where you receive your personal IDI result and an accompanying intercultural development plan to help you pursue your intercultural goals.
This workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Space is limited. For faculty and staff, please contact rack-prof-dev@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.

Equity-Centered Prototyping (September 29, 2022 12:45pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99189 99189-21797684@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 29, 2022 12:45pm
Location: Jeff T. Blau Hall
Organized By: Business+Impact at Michigan Ross

Prototyping is a tool that can be used throughout the design process: to generate ideas, validate concepts, or explore technologies. There is a need to develop and test ideas without causing harm to others, while the possibilities have evolved exponentially — new prototyping tools and approaches are introduced every year. This workshop will help you understand what, how, and when to prototype, and to transform good ideas into interactive, emotional experiences with an equity lens.

This event is part of Innovation Week programming and is hosted in partnership with Design+Business at Michigan Ross.

----------------------------------
This session will be run by Keesa V Johnson (MDes), an award-winning creative systems designer and design strategist who uses African and indigenous principles throughout the design thinking process. Keesa works in different dimensions of the Michigan Food system working to build a more equitable future through community-engaged design and research using equity as a lens for social innovation. She currently has her own design firm called the Equity and Access group which works on systems change projects in the food system. She is also the Racial Equity Chair of the Washtenaw Food Policy Council, the project leader for the Washtenaw County Black Farmers Fund, and has been a design leader within academia, government, and technology companies. She can be reached at keesavjohnson@gmail.com or thru her LinkedIn profile.

Alum Connection with Chelsea Racelis: Better Business – Change within Companies (September 30, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97565 97565-21794757@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 30, 2022 3:00pm
Location: LSA Building
Organized By: LSA Opportunity Hub

Chelsea Racelis says her “liberal arts education gave her the tools to bring her passions into the workforce,” but her passion and drive was shining even before she jumped into the working world. While she was on campus, Chelsea worked with the Ross portion of the U-M Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion strategic plan, acted in the first year orientation show with Educational Theatre Company, and co-led the Black-Asian Coalition. Upon graduation Chelsea went into consulting with Ernst & Young (EY), and soon after, a role on EY’s corporate responsibility team. Looking for a more impactful role aligned with her values, and knowing she could still be leveraging her liberal arts skillset to a greater degree, Chelsea joined Cisco as the Inclusion & Collaboration Development Specialist.

About Chelsea:

Chelsea is an all-rounder, completing a dual degree at U-M in International Studies and Business Administration (‘19) which she uses to make change in her personal and professional spheres. Serving as the Inclusion & Collaboration Development Specialist at Cisco, Chelsea describes herself as a strategist-idealist whose purpose is to do world-changing work with life-changing people. Her day job is powering inclusive futures for all at Cisco and the rest of the time, she supports human rights leaders in Myanmar and beyond, advocates for racial justice, and tries (unsuccessfully) to become a morning person.

You should attend this session if you are:

-A UM undergraduate LSA student
-Interested in pursuing a career in consulting
-Interested in DEI, ESG/corporate social responsibility, or human rights
-Exploring career options for a passion in social justice

What you’ll gain by attending:
-Make a valuable connection with a successful LSA alum ready to help you
-Get ideas for how to bring the meaningful parts of your LSA degree into your workplace
-Get insights about how to advance within a company or organization

RSVP NOW to be part of the conversation.

The LSA Opportunity Hub aims to deliver inclusive and accessible experiences and welcomes all LSA students to participate. This event will be hosted on Zoom (learn more about Zoom accessibility) and can be accessed by phone or computer.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

This workshop will examine how well-being and identity are interdependent. Participants will discuss how their identities shape their perceptions of wellness for themselves and others. On an individual level, how can students attend to their own well-being in a culture that doesn’t always promote it? From a leadership lens, we will look at graduate student culture and consider ways in which students have a role in influencing changes that impact student well-being.
This workshop is designed for master’s students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact rack-prof-dev@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.

Race and Racism, Comparatively: A Fall 2022 Series (October 4, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96941 96941-21793601@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 4, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Comparative Literature

“Race and Racism, Comparatively” is a series of three conversations highlighting the work of scholars both in and beyond U-M whose scholarship is contributing to much-needed conversations on the global dimension of race, racism, and their impacts. Through these events, we seek to help broaden the aperture through which the academic community considers these themes, encouraging an understanding of a dynamic and interconnected set of systems, practices and material effects.

September 20th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Virtual conversation with University of Pennsylvania scholar and president of the Middle East Studies Association, Eve Troutt Powell and Tennessee State University scholar, Keisha Brown. A cultural historian, Professor Troutt Powell’s scholarship has focused the history of the modern Middle East with a particular emphasis on slavery in the Nile Valley and in the former Ottoman Empire. Professor Brown’s work has focused on modern China and the negotiation of Sino-Blackness; her research interests broadly include ethnic and race studies, postcolonial theory and social and cultural history in East Asia.

October 4th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Roundtable featuring U-M faculty whose scholarship takes up the question of race and racism according to a transnational lens. The areas of focus represented among the participants include: the construction of blackness in the Francophone world; race, gender and Islam; the role of race and racialization as a tool of biopower in Mexico; and race and representation in US classrooms, literature and media. This event will be in-person at Kuenzel Room in the Michigan League, with a hybrid stream option.

November 1st 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Pedagogy Workshop. The groups will function as both an opportunity to reflect on the provocations raised during previous two events, dissect our assumptions about race on the global stage, and exchange ideas and best practices for teaching the same. The aim is to create a constructive and productive dialogue which will ideally produce a series of “best practices'' for teaching race and racism from a comparative, global standpoint. This event will be in-person at the Vandenberg Room in the League, with a hybrid stream option on Zoom. Register for streaming here:

Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one-session workshop combining multiple instructional tools to engage graduate students in meaningful dialogue about the various forms of sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, assault, and discrimination, that they may encounter. Participants are then able to build skills to intervene safely in potentially harmful situations. ERC workshops make use of the circle process, which focuses on building meaningful connections between participants and ensuring all participants can engage in respectful dialogue.

This year’s summit, DEI: Nurturing the Heart, Mind and Soul, explores the role of the arts in supporting our humanity (heart), mental health and wellness (mind), and religious/spiritual diversity (soul).These topics are distinct and interconnected, as each addresses components of self-identity and influence in the world. Additionally, as we reflect on our experiences navigating a global pandemic and the social justice issues that were illuminated over the past two and a half years, this theme assembles some important aspects of our coping toolkit.

The Community Assembly will include:
- Dr. Dena Scott, Clinical Psychologist with Headspace Health
- Dr. Todd Boyd, Media Commentator, and Hip Hop Scholar,
- Sarah Hurwitz, Spiritual Advisor, and former First Lady Michelle Obama's Chief Speechwriter

Anti-Racism in an Abroad Context (October 12, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97771 97771-21795118@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 12, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Structural racism in the United States is the normalization and legitimization of an array of dynamics—historical, cultural, institutional, and interpersonal—that routinely advantage whites while producing cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for people of color. It is a system of hierarchy and inequity, primarily characterized by white supremacy—the preferential treatment, privilege, and power for white people at the expense of other racially oppressed people. It is also important to recognize that racism is a global issue and continues to be perpetuated in societies across the globe and it manifests in many different ways at various levels. This anti-racism workshop in an abroad context aims to offer an entryway for students to engage in observing how racism plays out in different societies outside the United States, utilizing examples, particularly media representation, that may reflect deeper messages, and what it means to be anti-racist in the abroad context for American students who have been abroad, or may be visiting, studying, or traveling abroad.
This workshop will engage participants in the following activities:

Better understanding of the phrase “anti-racism”
Learning about race and its nuances
Recognizing how culture can shape how racism and power structures develop
Seeing how media around the world uphold oppression in different ways
Creating action steps toward actively recognizing oppression abroad

This workshop is designed for master’s students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.

Abstract:

Our current understanding of how genes are regulated is akin to solving a jigsaw puzzle. Many factors governing gene expression have been identified, and researchers have collected a wide variety of related datasets. However, how these "parts" are pieced together to function as a whole remains unclear. In this talk, I will discuss our research to develop and apply state-of-the-art machine learning methods to genomics datasets to attempt to put together the pieces from the data. I will cover our work using deep learning architecture that captures the data's underlying structure to integrate datasets and connect them to gene expression via the prediction task. We also interpret the prediction results and tie them back to contributing factors to develop potential hypotheses related to gene regulation. I will then move from bulk data to the single-cell data domain and discuss methods to perform unsupervised integration of different types of single-cell experiments. This talk aims to highlight our research direction's potential to reveal the important gene regulatory mechanisms in characterizing cell types and diseases from the collected data.

Location: Pierpont Commons
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Change It Up!© brings bystander intervention skills to students for the purpose of building supportive and respectful communities. Change It Up! is based on a nationally recognized five-step bystander intervention model that develops students’ skills and confidence when intervening in situations that negatively impact campus climate. This workshop explores how students’ identities and experiences impact their interactions inside and outside of the classroom. Through interactive theater, students apply the five steps to real-life scenarios and have an opportunity to practice and discuss how they can leverage these skills within their campus communities.
Learning Objectives:

Gain an understanding of what it means to be a bystander and factors that influence intervention
Gain multiple strategies to intervene and disrupt harm, such as microaggressions, bias incidents, stereotyping, sexual harassment, etc.
Act as an ally and educator, especially when you hold privilege and power and witness harm to those who do not hold privilege and power
Learn how to receive and respond to feedback about harm you caused, even if unintentional

This workshop is designed for University of Michigan master’s students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows.  For faculty and staff, please contact rackhampdeworkshops@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.

In the field of engineering, the rhetoric regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion has operated to advance progress without changing underlying factors that continue to perpetuate inequities within engineering. During this lecture, Dr. Holly will discuss issues within engineering, including content, culture and consequences that prevent Black people from being recognized as humans.

Attendees will be encouraged to reflect on the history and philosophy of engineering and the ways racism is embedded into it. Dr. Holly will also provide strategies on how to become more educated on sociopolitical power within this structure, and how we can take a holistic approach to making racial equity a reality in engineering.

Increasingly, hiring committees are interested in how prospective faculty job candidates will contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a result, many academic employers have begun to request a diversity statement as part of the faculty job application process. In this interactive session, we will discuss best practices for writing diversity statements, examine sample statements, and work through activities designed to help participants start writing their own statement.
Learning objectives:

Reflect on ways you are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in your research, teaching, engagement, leadership, or other areas
Identify resources that allow you to participate and contribute to DEI initiatives, opportunities, projects, and research
Review best practices to write a diversity statement and learn how to critically evaluate diversity statements

Explainability Is Not the Solution to Structural Challenges to AI in Medicine

Explainability is often treated as a necessary condition for ethical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in Medicine. In this brief talk I survey some of the structural challenges facing the development and deployment of effective AI systems in health care to illustrate some of the limitations to explainability in addressing these challenges. This talk builds on prior work (London 2019, 2022) to illustrate how ambitions for AI in health care likely require significant changes to key aspects of health systems.

Melissa McCradden, PhD, MHSc
Director of AI in Medicine
The Hospital for Sick Children
On the Inextricability of Explainability from Ethics: Explainable AI does not Ethical AI Make

Explainability is embedded into a plethora of legal, professional, and regulatory guidelines as it is often presumed that an ethical use of AI will require explainable algorithms. There is considerable controversy, however, as to whether post hoc explanations are computationally reliable, their value for decision-making, and the relational implications of their use in shared decision-making. This talk will explore the literature across these domains and argue that while post hoc explainability may be a reasonable technical goal, it should not be offered status as a moral standard by which AI use is judged to be ‘ethical.’

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.

What if your sex ed class included asexuality? Most sexual education is not ace-friendly, much less ace-focused, and we're going to take a stab at fixing that! This interactive workshop will focus on defining terms like consent, desire, and arousal, communication in relationships, setting boundaries, and being proud of your identity! You will be invited to reflect on how you experience your sexuality and have the opportunity to learn from asexual and ace-spectrum experiences.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Conflict in the Classroom: Reflections on Practice invites instructors to seriously consider their roles as facilitators of challenging content in the classroom. Participants will watch a theatrical case study depicting many different options for ways an instructor might set up teaching challenging material, meet conflict when it arises, and follow up with students after conflicts occur. Throughout, participants will consider how an instructor’s personal commitments and decision-making differently affects the classroom climate, and opens up possibilities for future action. At the session’s close, participants will have time to reflect on their own commitments and goals for engaging with conflict in the classroom.
**The theatrical case study in this session contains strong language and depicts a class engaging with statistics about abortion and larger systemic inequities like transphobia and racism.
In our time together, participants will:

Consider how an instructor’s personal commitments and decision-making matter when teaching challenging material and meeting conflict in the classroom.
Analyze practices instructors can use to set up challenging material, meet (potential) conflict when it occurs, and follow up after it happens.
Reflect on the ways that different choices affect classroom climate for students and faculty.
Create personal goals for engaging with conflicts before, during, and after class.

We’re Biased. So Now What?: Personalizing and Mitigating Unconscious Bias (November 1, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97776 97776-21795123@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 1, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Pierpont Commons
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Many of us are committed to DEI and accept the extensive evidence from scholarly studies in psychology and neuroscience demonstrating that we all have unconscious biases that affect our interactions with others. The question then becomes, how do we not only become aware of our biases, but also work to overcome them?
Learning Objectives:

Gain knowledge of societal biases and self-awareness of one’s unconscious biases
Develop strategies to advocate for inclusion in light of unconscious bias

Race and Racism, Comparatively: A Fall 2022 Series (November 1, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96941 96941-21793602@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 1, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Comparative Literature

“Race and Racism, Comparatively” is a series of three conversations highlighting the work of scholars both in and beyond U-M whose scholarship is contributing to much-needed conversations on the global dimension of race, racism, and their impacts. Through these events, we seek to help broaden the aperture through which the academic community considers these themes, encouraging an understanding of a dynamic and interconnected set of systems, practices and material effects.

September 20th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Virtual conversation with University of Pennsylvania scholar and president of the Middle East Studies Association, Eve Troutt Powell and Tennessee State University scholar, Keisha Brown. A cultural historian, Professor Troutt Powell’s scholarship has focused the history of the modern Middle East with a particular emphasis on slavery in the Nile Valley and in the former Ottoman Empire. Professor Brown’s work has focused on modern China and the negotiation of Sino-Blackness; her research interests broadly include ethnic and race studies, postcolonial theory and social and cultural history in East Asia.

October 4th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Roundtable featuring U-M faculty whose scholarship takes up the question of race and racism according to a transnational lens. The areas of focus represented among the participants include: the construction of blackness in the Francophone world; race, gender and Islam; the role of race and racialization as a tool of biopower in Mexico; and race and representation in US classrooms, literature and media. This event will be in-person at Kuenzel Room in the Michigan League, with a hybrid stream option.

November 1st 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Pedagogy Workshop. The groups will function as both an opportunity to reflect on the provocations raised during previous two events, dissect our assumptions about race on the global stage, and exchange ideas and best practices for teaching the same. The aim is to create a constructive and productive dialogue which will ideally produce a series of “best practices'' for teaching race and racism from a comparative, global standpoint. This event will be in-person at the Vandenberg Room in the League, with a hybrid stream option on Zoom. Register for streaming here:

Description of the Presentation: In this presentation, Dr. Devon Price introduces attendees to the neurodiversity movement and the social model of disability, explains what Autism really is versus the pervasive myths we've all been told about the neurotype, and outlines essential accommodations that neurodiverse people require from care providers, in their workplaces, and from public institutions. This workshop places particular emphasis on the phenomenon of masked Autism, where marginalized and under-diagnosed populations of Autistic people are required to camouflage and compensate for their Autistic traits because they do not meet the cultural stereotype of what Autism "looks like" and thus receive far less support. The costs of masking and the ways in which narrow social standards force disabled people to mask, and how we might collectively work to build a more accepting society will also be highlighted.

About the presenter: Dr. Devon Price is the author of the books Laziness Does Not Exist and Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity. He is a social psychologist and professor at Loyola University of Chicago’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies. Devon's work has appeared in Slate, Business Insider, Financial Times, HuffPost, Psychology Today, and on NPR and PBS, and he has given recent speaking engagements at Nike, Indeed, The University of North Carolina, Ohio State University, the Ontario Public Library System, the Ohio Board of Developmental Disabilities, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research. He lives in Chicago, Illinois.

Creating Inclusive Environments for Diverse Religious, Spiritual, and Secular Worldviews (November 4, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97777 97777-21795124@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 4, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School


When you hear the word “diversity”, what comes to mind? If you’re like most people, religion wasn’t your first thought, or even your second one at that. We live in a world, work jobs, attend classes, and are a part of organizations that are religiously diverse, and yet, this identity is often forgotten or labeled as too taboo to talk about with others. In order to be effective leaders, influencers, and DEI practitioners, we have to critically examine how we are cultivating communities that both value and engage diverse religious, spiritual, and secular (RSS) worldviews. Join us for this interactive workshop as we explore how RSS worldviews shape our experiences and the spaces that we occupy.
Learning Objectives:

Examine one’s own RSS worldview
Explore how RSS worldviews have shaped one’s own and other’s experiences
Brainstorm strategies to engage diverse RSS worldviews to cultivate inclusive communities

Speaker:

Kadija Ferryman, PhD
Assistant Professor
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

In this talk, Professor Ferryman will discuss the merits and challenges of conducting health equity reviews of artificial intelligence (AI) tools used in health and medicine. The talk will examine how interdisciplinary approaches from the social sciences, bioethics and humanities, and computational fields can be involved in the development of concepts, methods, frameworks, and guidelines for understanding and governing digital health tools.

Dr. Kadija Ferryman is a cultural anthropologist who studies the social, cultural, and ethical implications of health information technologies. Specifically, her research examines how genomics, digital medical records, artificial intelligence, and other technologies impact racial disparities in health. As a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Data & Society Research Institute in New York, she led the Fairness in Precision Medicine research study, which examines the potential for bias and discrimination in predictive precision medicine.

She earned a BA in Anthropology from Yale University, and a PhD in Anthropology from The New School for Social Research. Before completing her PhD, she was a policy researcher at the Urban Institute where she studied how housing and neighborhoods impact well-being, specifically the effects of public housing redevelopment on children, families, and older adults.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Engineering Office of Culture, Community, and Equity (OCCE)

The future success of businesses, economies, and humanity hinges on the continued advancement of science, and the development of sustainable innovations. This, in turn, is dependent on the inclusion of diverse perspectives inside our organizations and in our communities to bring creative thinking, innovative mindsets and scientific expertise together to solve real-world problems.

Dr. Seth will provide an overview of 3M’s State of Science Index, a global research initiative to uncover what people think of science. Dr. Seth will discuss findings that highlight the importance of reducing real and perceived barriers to science appreciation and STEM education.

The presentation will also include the impact of the pandemic on the public perception of science, key themes that emerge from the 2020-2022 results, and how we can all play a role in science advocacy and advancing diversity in STEM-based fields.

As part of the DEI Lecture Series, we will give away 100 copies of Dr. Seth’s book, The Heart of Science: Engineering Fine Print, to the first 100 registrants. Books will be provided in partnership with the Michigan Engineering Common Reading Experience. To claim your book, please enter your information in the RSVP provided above.

*All proceeds from The Heart of Science Series go to a scholarship for underrepresented minority women in STEM, administered by the Society of Women Engineers.

Racial Microaggressions (November 10, 2022 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97899 97899-21795280@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 10, 2022 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location

Racial microaggressions can be uniquely harmful to their targets, and yet we often find ourselves skirting around this subset of microaggressions due to discomfort in openly discussing race, racism, and white supremacy. In this workshop we hope to foster an intellectually humble environment within which we can unpack racial microaggressions, address common barriers to intervening when a racial microaggression is inflicted, and provide tools for successfully intervening in the future.
Learning objectives:

Identify elements of systemic racism and understand it’s compounding nature, and connect how systemic racism creates a breeding ground for racial microaggressions
Identify racial microaggressions and intervene to disrupt their impact
Practice emotional self-awareness by identifying emotional barriers to intervening to disrupt a racial microaggression

This workshop is designed for master’s students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/ky7Rj.

Often called the “congressional watchdog,” the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent, nonpartisan agency that advises Congress about ways to make government more efficient, effective, ethical, equitable, and responsive. One way GAO supports oversight of taxpayer dollars is by reporting on agency program and policy effectiveness, analyzing policy, and outlining options for Congress. GAO’s 15 mission teams cover federal programs and activities across government. Learn more about GAO at this information session, which will include a discussion about using USAJobs (including tips and tricks) for applying for jobs in the federal government, information about GAO (including internship opportunities), and a panel of GAO employees with doctoral degrees in various disciplines who will share their personal perspectives on working at GAO.

How Do We Begin: A Historical Reckoning with Anti-Black Racism at U-M (November 18, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100299 100299-21799576@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 18, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Written by guest playwright and U-M alumnx Jordan Harris, this short series of plays illuminates U-M’s complicated relationship to elitism and racial inequity. Using Matthew Johnson’s book Undermining Racial Justice (a historical analysis of the admissions processes at U-M) as an entry point, the play examines how American colleges and universities—and U-M specifically—have perpetuated anti-Blackness while simultaneously benefiting from their association with inclusive values. Through a series of facilitated discussion and activities, participants will wrestle with a central question: with an understanding of our inequitable past and present, how will we imagine and pursue a racially just future?
The session length is two hours. How Do We Begin is currently offered in a fully virtual, synchronous format.
**The theatrical portion of this session deals directly with anti-Black racism in the academy and its disproportionate impacts.
In this session, participants will:

Reflect on their experience, agency, and accountability within this history/present.
Unpack crucial disconnects between institutional rhetoric and action.
Practice brainstorming ways to disrupt anti-Black racism in their professional practice.

Have you often succeeded at an academic task even though you were afraid you wouldn’t do well? Do you dread others evaluating your work? Do you tend to remember incidents when you haven’t done your best more than those when you have? Thoughts such as these are the hallmark of impostor syndrome thinking. This workshop shares insights from the scholarship on impostor syndrome and provides research-based strategies for overcoming impostor syndrome.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

Define impostorism and highlight the variety of ways individuals and groups are most impacted.
Discuss individual and system/institutional-level factors that contribute to impostorism.
Access tools and strategies to address impostorism at the individual, department, and institutional level.

In this workshop we will explore the world of identity development and how it is impacted by Disability. We will unpack what a social construct is and whether or not Disability meets that definition. We will also examine how social constructs such as race and class interact with Disability. Moreso, we will discuss concepts such as Intersectionality and Simultaneity in relation to the individual living with a disabilities' daily experience.

Images and graphics can be powerful tools to communicate information and enhance text content. But some individuals—such as those who are Blind, low vision, or use read aloud technologies—may miss out on important details if our visuals are not accessible.

This workshop will teach you how to craft effective "alternative text" (alt text) and how to add alt text to images to make them more accessible. We'll also discuss how to describe image content, including diverse humans, in a way that is inclusive and context appropriate.

Participants will learn:
1. What alt text is, why it is important, and who benefits from it.

2. Image types that are not accessible and workarounds.

3. How to craft effective alt text for images based upon the image type and function.

4. Best practices for describing diverse people and situations depicted in images in an inclusive way.

5. How to add alt text to images in Word, Google Docs, PowerPoint, and Google Slides.

Audience:
This is a beginner-level workshop open to any LSA employee, including our student employees.

Format:
This workshop will be conducted virtually on Zoom. Auto-captioning will be enabled and slides will be distributed following the workshop. We strongly recommend using a desktop or laptop computer to join this workshop, as this will make it easier to apply what you learn in practice exercises and to participate in poll questions.

The LSA DEI Office greatly values inclusion and access for all. We are pleased to provide reasonable accommodations to enable your full participation in this workshop.

What makes a successful person? According to Wharton organizational psychologist Adam Grant, it may not be what you think. This groundbreaking book explores the concept that success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. At work, most people operate as either takers, matchers, or givers. Whereas takers strive to get as much as possible from others and matchers aim to trade evenly, givers are the rare breed of people who contribute to others without expecting anything in return. And although some givers get exploited and burn out, the rest achieve extraordinary results across a wide range of industries. Join Medical School Senior Administrative Director Bekah Ashley as she discusses this bestselling classic on leadership. Open to everyone in the U-M community, but please register to attend.

As we shift from print to digital documents in the workplace, it's important to ensure all readers and contributors can access the content. If document users include individuals who are color blind, use assistive technologies, or process information differently, will they be able to effectively engage with the content?

This workshop will focus on how to create digital documents in Word and Google Docs that are more user-friendly and accessible. In addition to demonstrations, there will be opportunities to apply what you are learning in real time.

Participants will learn about:
1. The benefit of accessible documents and how specific features support diverse users.

2. How to build more accessible documents in Microsoft Word and Google Documents.

3. Tools to assist with document accessibility.

4. Resources to deepen knowledge on document accessibility.

Students combine coursework with an internship that reflects their particular area of interest (such as American politics, international studies, history, the arts, public health, economics, the media, the environment, science, and technology). Students work four days a week, attend an elective one evening a week, and a research course on Friday mornings. They spend their weekends exploring the city and taking in cultural events.

Title: Math Corps: Social Justice Through Loving and Believing in Kids--and a few Equations

Abstract: For over 30 years, the Wayne State University Math Corps—through summer camp and Saturday programs—has been working to provide Detroit’s children with the kinds of educational and lifetime opportunities that all children should have. Over the past several years, the Math Corps at U(M) has been doing the same, serving children from Ypsilanti. Rooted in social justice and based on a philosophy of “loving and believing in kids”, the Math Corps has achieved dramatic results and garnered national recognition and widespread acclaim. This talk will examine some of the principles and practices that drive the program, and that have been the most responsible for its success. Specific examples to be highlighted include: the “kids teaching kids” model of teaching and learning, the dedication to building a community that is centered, above all, around kindness, the belief in the importance of humor in all of our daily lives (“Three mathematicians walk into a bar...”), and most importantly, the absolutely unwavering vision that the kids in the Math Corps are all leaders in the fight for a better and more just world.

This event is in-person and online.

You Don’t Belong Here: The Stories Our Systems Tell (and Why We Have to Disrupt Them) (January 17, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102311 102311-21803831@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 17, 2023 12:00pm

Many universities message extensively around their commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion. These institutional assertions are often called into question, though, by the stories of members of the higher education community who continue to face marginalization and othering within their professional and educational spaces. This session centers around an embodied case study depicting one woman’s reflections on her experiences of higher education and her interactions with a range of systems that sent a persistent message that she didn’t belong, that she would never truly be a part of her university community. Through session activities, participants will consider how these messages manifest and why they continue to occur despite the extensive labor of individuals sincerely committed to advancing equity.
In this session, participants will:

Consider the way that stories of non-belonging and exclusion are perpetuated in the U.S. education system
Unpack the differences between individual action and systems-level change
Brainstorm improvements at the systems level

The session length is 90 minutes. You Don’t Belong Here is offered only in a fully virtual, synchronous format.
**The theatrical portion of this session contains strong language. It includes explicit descriptions of racist and classist behaviors and the impact of systemic inequities on individuals and communities.
This workshop is designed for University of Michigan master’s students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact rackhampdeworkshops@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/y9Dey.

This 2020 documentary chronicles the life and times of U.S. Congressperson and longtime Civil Rights activist John Lewis (1940-2020). For more than 60 years -- from a teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse in Washington -- Lewis was at forefront of what he termed "good trouble." One of MLK's closest allies, Lewis organized courageous Freedom Rides and sit ins that left him both bloodied and jailed and was a leader in both the historic marches on Washington and Selma. An inspiring, mesmerizing saga, this film is available on multiple platforms (e.g., Amazon Prime, YouTube, Google Play, Redbox, Vudu, Apple TV, HBO Max). Open to all, but please register to receive the Zoom link prior to the session.

More than 127,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated and incarcerated in concentration camps in remote areas of the seven western U.S. states during World War II. Their crime? Ancestry. Almost two-thirds of the interns were Nisei, or U.S.-born. Even World War I veterans of Japanese descent were forcibly evacuated. Families were made at gunpoint to leave their homes, businesses, schools, their lives for spartan, communal tarpaper barracks in inhospitable regions. This powerful documentary premiered last May on PBS (available for streaming here). This discussion is open to all. Please register to receive the Zoom link prior to this session.

The Queer World Conversations (January 25, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/103266 103266-21806694@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 25, 2023 10:00am
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Spectrum Center

We'd like to invite you to a new event series this semester, the Queer World Conversations! These will be weekly discussions on a variety of topics, but all of them will be discussed with a queer lens. We'll bring the topic, you bring the discussion! Everyone is welcome to join the Conversations, and the voices of those most impacted by the week's topic will be prioritized.

Topics will be announced the week before on our social medias and on the event pages. Registration is not required, nor is consistent attendance. Come when you want, bring your friends, and let's have a Conversation!

Upcoming topics:
4/12/23 - Weight Inclusivity

There are a lot of social ideas of what someone's body "should" look like, especially when it comes to weight. Body positivity is more visible than ever, but so is fatphobia. With the help of our friends of the School of Public Health's Weight Inclusive Initiative, we'll dive into the ways that queer bodies and queer cultures interact with and complicate the already complex ideas we have around one's weight. Are queer people held to a higher standard than non-queer folks? Do we hold each other to higher standards within our own community? Are there any major connections between fatphobia and gender dysphoria?

LGBTQ+ graduate students often struggle with queer visibility and representation in their departments, which proves to be a barrier in being able to find mentors and access professional academic and industry advice. This virtual panel will help current LGBTQ+ students imagine their professional lives beyond their university course work. A wide range of LGBTQ+ alumni and staff members,  who are working in industry, will share their success stories and take questions from the audience. After the panel, individual panelists will lead small round table discussions with the participants in break out sessions for professional skill-building through guided conversation about industry and a more intimate opportunity for Q&A.

Location: Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Organized By: Michigan Malaysian Students' Association (MiMSA)

For the past decade, the Michigan Malaysian Students’ Association (MiMSA) comes together for Malaysian Cultural Night (MCN): an all-encompassing play and exhibition that underlines the issue of racism, differences in religious values, social identity, and social issues in Malaysia. MCN encapsulates the perceptions that we have of our homeland into a night’s worth of unique cultural experiences, like showcasing multiple traditional dances from different ethnicities in Malaysia. Welcoming all ages with a free-of-charge admission to the event, we present Rojak.

Rojak

Malaysian Cultural Night (2023) tells the story of a marriage-to-be. He’s from East Malaysia. She’s from West Malaysia. Her mother doesn’t approve. How could a distance so short prove to be so daunting for their respective cultures and religions, yet fortified through love? Rojak is a story of how they overcome her mother’s cultural prejudices and come to embody Malaysia’s rich history of multiculturalism.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR), the Anti-Racism Collaborative at the National Center for Institutional Diversity (ARC/NCID), and the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (ODEI) invite faculty and postdoctoral fellows to a two-day, in-person symposium exploring anti-racism research and scholarship at the University of Michigan (U-M).

In March 2021, a campus wide focus on anti-racism research and scholarship was galvanized through the development of the Anti-Racism Collaborative (ARC) at the National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID) — as part of the provost’s anti-racism initiatives — and the launch of the two-year Anti-Racism Grants program by the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) in partnership with NCID.. The complementary and shared goals between these two efforts include fostering innovative and interdisciplinary research that promotes racial justice and racial equity, supporting a community of anti-racism scholars, and amplifying the anti-racism research expertise among U-M faculty and researchers.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THE FACULTY SYMPOSIUM?
The Faculty Symposium on Anti-Racism Research & Scholarship at U-M is a convening of faculty and postdoctoral fellows who seek to challenge systemic racism through their research and scholarship, want to be in community with faculty addressing systemic racism from intersectional perspectives or other disciplinary fields of study, and/or want to engage in dialogue around institutional supports for faculty who engage in anti-racism research and scholarship.

Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Mentorship is wonderful, rewarding, life-changing, transformative, effective, gratifying, substantive, and beneficial. It is also challenging, time-consuming, expensive, fragmented, hard to measure, and elusive. Mentoring experiences are all unique, and grounded in the impetus to share and to connect. As a mentor or a mentee, once you’ve had a taste of mentorship, you want more. On January 30, 2023, join panelists from the Equity in Architectural Education Consortium (EAEC), who will be in conversation about mentorship in the discipline, the profession, and its future in architecture and its related fields. Over the course of three separate panels, the discussion will share experiences and recommendations on: how mentoring provides a strong start to your education and career; where mentorship can establish new relationships and surprising paths for your professional development; ways mentorship boosts your capacity to judge your own advancement and excellence. Join us in this effort to better understand where we agree, where we disagree, and where we can find areas for collective action.

This year’s discussion is grateful to honor the legacy and impact of Taubman College alumnus, Raoul Wallenberg, remembered and honored for his courageous humanitarian acts in World War II Hungary.

Panelists and guest moderator:

Akima Brackeen (Jeanne and John Rowe Fellow and Visiting Assistant Professor, Illinois Institute of Technology, IIT)
Andrew Chin (Interim Dean, School of Architecture and Engineering, Florida A&M University, FAMU)
Edmund Graham (Associate Director, National Center for Institutional Diversity; University of Michigan, NCID UM)

The Raoul Wallenberg Lecture was initiated in 1971 by Sol King, a former classmate of Wallenberg's. An endowment was established in 1976 for an annual lecture to be offered in Raoul's honor on the theme of architecture as a humane social art.

With the help of our friends of the School of Public Health's Weight Inclusive Initiative, we'll dive into the ways that queer bodies and queer cultures interact with and complicate the already complex ideas we have around one's weight. Are queer people held to a higher standard than non-queer folks? Do we hold each other to higher standards within our own community? Are there any major connections between fatphobia and gender dysphoria?

The Challenge of Transition (February 1, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104225 104225-21808691@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 1, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Educational Outreach

As stewards of transition, we look to arm incoming students with the hope and promise of a better future through higher education. Why then, does that process create such challenges for the students and for the helpers themselves? In this webinar, we will explore the common vulnerabilities in both students and educators that most miss when undertaking the awesome task of guiding youth through the milestones of life. While the goal stays focused on how best to support the students, the process of supporting and protecting yourself comes first.

Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda: Moving Beyond Failure and Actively Cultivating a More Equitable Academy (February 2, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102312 102312-21803832@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 2, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School


Systems of higher education in the U.S. create differential advantage and disadvantage for the people who work and learn in them. When individuals move through these systems—as administrators, instructors, or learners—they make choices to participate in the perpetuation or the disruption of these inequities. While some perpetuation of inequity can be attributed to ignorance, it is often true that individuals who do understand the harmful impacts of unjust behavior, processes, and structures often fail to address them. This session centers around an embodied case study depicting one man’s meditation on a personal failure and the choices he made afterward that defined his path as an educator. Through session activities, participants will reflect on what failures of this kind indicate about the educational environments in which they occur and how such reflection might prime them to reshape the spaces in which they have responsibilities.
In this session, participants will:

Reflect on failures to act for justice
Consider how their lived relationship to social inequities within and outside of their educational environment shapes their willingness and ability to act
Explore the tension between risk and responsibility when disrupting the status quo
Practice identifying opportunities for proactive justice work in their spheres of influence in the academy

**The theatrical portion of this session contains strong language. It includes descriptions of sexist, heterosexist, and ableist behaviors and reflection on systemic inequities related to race and socioeconomic status.
This workshop is designed for University of Michigan master’s students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact rackhampdeworkshops@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/G1X6J.

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.

We'd like to invite you to a new event series this semester, the Queer World Conversations! These will be weekly discussions on a variety of topics, but all of them will be discussed with a queer lens. We'll bring the topic, you bring the discussion! Everyone is welcome to join the Conversations, and the voices of those most impacted by the week's topic will be prioritized.

Topics will be announced the week before on our social medias and on the event pages. Registration is not required, nor is consistent attendance. Come when you want, bring your friends, and let's have a Conversation!

Upcoming topics:
4/12/23 - Weight Inclusivity

There are a lot of social ideas of what someone's body "should" look like, especially when it comes to weight. Body positivity is more visible than ever, but so is fatphobia. With the help of our friends of the School of Public Health's Weight Inclusive Initiative, we'll dive into the ways that queer bodies and queer cultures interact with and complicate the already complex ideas we have around one's weight. Are queer people held to a higher standard than non-queer folks? Do we hold each other to higher standards within our own community? Are there any major connections between fatphobia and gender dysphoria?

Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Institute for Social Research

This event is part of the Institute for Social Research series in honor of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This hybrid event will take place at the Institute for Social Research (426 Thompson St.) with live viewing available via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/s/92773421482.

The decades since the civil rights movement are considered by many to be a story of progress toward equal rights and greater inclusiveness. Elizabeth Hinton uncovers an altogether different history, taking us on a troubling journey from Detroit in 1967 and Miami in 1980 to Los Angeles in 1992 and beyond to chart the persistence of structural racism and one its primary consequences, the so-called urban riot. Dr. Hinton offers a critical corrective: the word riot was nothing less than a racist trope applied to events that can only be properly understood as rebellions--explosions of collective resistance to an unequal and violent order. Challenging the optimistic story of the post-Jim Crow United States, Hinton's discussion will present a new framework for understanding our nation's enduring racial strife. As her history suggests, rebellions will likely continue until police are no longer called on to manage the consequences of dismal conditions beyond their control, and until an oppressive system is finally remade on the principle of justice and equality.
