CCPS Lecture. Cuts: An Oral History of Transformation (January 28, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89728 89728-21665265@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 28, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

Authors Aleksandra Leyk and Joanna Wawrzyniak will discuss their award-winning book *Cuts: An Oral History of Transformation [Cięcia. Mówiona historia transformacji]*, which addresses how Poland’s rapid socio-economic transformation in the 1990s is remembered by those who lived it. Drawing on over 130 biographical interviews with chief executives, managers, trade union representatives, administrative staff, and shop floor workers of socialist enterprises privatized and sold to multinationals, *Cuts* shows the complexity, ambivalence, and tensions inherent to the experience and memory of socio-economic change. While the book highlights local reactions to the neo-liberal turn taking place globally, its lessons reach far beyond Poland.

Aleksandra Leyk is a researcher and public policy expert on adult education at The Educational Research Institute (IBE) in Warsaw. In the academic field, she specializes on the social consequences of capitalist transformations of work and the labor market.

Joanna Wawrzyniak is associate professor of sociology and director of the Center for Research on Social Memory at the University of Warsaw. Specializing on East-Central European memory processes, her current projects include memories of socialism, the neoliberal transformation, and deindustrialization processes in Poland. She also conducts collaborative research on cultural heritage and memory processes in Western Europe and East and South Asia. She is the co-author of *The Enemy on Display* (2015), the author of *Veterans, Victims and Memory* (2015) and has co-edited special issues for *Contemporary European History*; *East European Politics and Societies*; *Polish Sociological Review*; and volumes *Memory and Change in Europe* (2016) and *Regions of Memory: Transnational Formations* (forthcoming).

CREES/Ford U.S.-Russia Future Leaders Professional Development Workshop. Refugee Protection Issues in Central Europe and the Balkans (January 31, 2022 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90725 90725-21673379@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 31, 2022 11:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

Please note that this workshop is limited to current U-M students and registration is now closed.

Recent promises in the West to accept refugees fleeing Afghanistan in the wake of the Taliban takeover stand in stark contrast to the actions of border officials along the way. Often characterized as migrants despite fleeing war and persecution, borders from Turkey through the Western Balkans to the EU remain difficult to navigate for those who cannot afford smugglers. At the same time, movements along all routes, especially through the Western Balkans, are increasing significantly, all during another round of Covid-related restrictions and shutdowns.

Readings and Workshop

In preparation for the workshop, students will receive documents essential to understanding the issues and actors at play. During the workshop, we will break into smaller groups to reconcile the various conflicting mandates of the state and international actors, and the role of NGOs, and seek ways forward that respect international legal obligations while reflecting the situation on the ground.

John A. Young (BA Russian and REES ‘86, JD ‘90) has devoted most of his career to refugee protection in Europe and the Middle East. Based mainly with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) since 1994, he also worked five years at the European Commission in pre-accession projects on law and justice, human rights, and minorities. Throughout his career, John has been engaged in refugee status determination, resettlement, asylum-building, migration management, and the identification and response to vulnerable persons. While in Brussels he prepared UNHCR's legal submissions for ECHR in Strasbourg, and the Court of Justice, and worked with the European Parliament and Commission on EU Asylum legislation. Presently he is the Head of the UNHCR Protection Learning Unit in Budapest. He has also served in Russia, Switzerland, Serbia, and Slovakia, with missions to Kenya, Uganda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.

Conversations on Europe. Reinventing Tradition: Innovation and Transgression in Barcelona's Public Nativity Displays (February 7, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89731 89731-21665267@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 7, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for European Studies

Public displays of Christian symbols like the crèche have gone from being taken-for-granted elements of local tradition to objects of contestation in diverse European contexts due to pressures generated by secularization and religious diversification. Barcelona’s city government has responded creatively to these pressures by commissioning public crèches with highly abstract designs that dilute their religious symbolism, thereby rendering them more compatible with principles of separation and neutrality, and with the progressive image, the city wishes to project. This strategy of “aesthetic transmutation” represents an alternative to other possible responses, such as elimination or supplementation (i.e., adding minority religious symbols). In analyzing its development, Astor employs an interactionist approach that elucidates how the stances and actions of diverse actors implicated in the process do not reflect rigid pre-established ideological positions on identity, church-state relations, or the place of religion in the public sphere, but rather respond flexibly to situational interactions, pressures, and opportunities. His findings have implications for how sociologists conceptualize religious icons, the forces driving their transformation, and the role of interactive contexts in shaping how such transformation unfolds.

Avi Astor is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and is part of the Research Center for the Sociology of Religion (ISOR). He obtained his PhD in sociology from the University of Michigan in 2011. He has written on a variety of topics related to religion, culture, and identity. He is the author of *Rebuilding Islam in Contemporary Spain* (Sussex, 2017). His work has appeared in several prominent journals, including Theory and Society, the J*ournal for the Scientific Study of Religion*, *Qualitative Sociology*, the *International Migration Review*, the *Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies*, and the *International Journal for Urban and Regional Research*.

John A. Young, Senior Staff Development Officer at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), joins Genevieve Zubrzycki, professor of sociology at the University of Michigan and director of the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia, in a discussion exploring the current crisis taking place in the corner of Europe where the fictional shtetl of Anatevka was set, as well as concurrent crises, showing the ongoing relevance of a key theme of *Fiddler on the Roof*, that of people forced from their home into desperate circumstances.

John A. Young (BA Russian/REES ‘86, JD ‘90) has devoted most of his career to refugee protection in Europe and the Middle East.

While in Brussels he prepared UNHCR's legal submissions for ECHR in Strasbourg, and the Court of Justice, and worked with the European Parliament and Commission on EU Asylum legislation. Presently he is the Head of the UNHCR Protection Learning Unit in Budapest. He has also served in Russia, Switzerland, Serbia, and Slovakia, with missions to Kenya, Uganda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.

L’Internationale’s Democracy Pavilion for Europe aims to reenergize democracy as a desire and practice. It takes the arts’ potential as a starting point for imagining new epistemologies and ethics of living together within the limits of the planet. The pavilion responds to the current political moment and the fact that the idea of democracy that undergirded the post-1945 European order is in peril. Fostering open, creative debate, the pavilion serves as a source of inspiration to reframe art and museums as spaces for experimentation and analysis that critically engage current developments in Europe. The Democracy Pavilion is the response of L’Internationale to the European Cultural Foundation’s call to promote critical thinking and radical imagination. The panelists represent institutions affiliated with L’Internationale, a confederation of seven European art museums from Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, Turkey, Sweden, Slovenia, and Ireland. Taking the Democracy Pavilion as their core idea, the presentations together explore new relations between arts, heritage, and emancipatory politics.

Fairness concerns are ubiquitous in the realm of redistributive politics. Yet it is not easy to pinpoint what fairness is and what a positive analysis of fairness might look like. This talk builds on research across the social sciences to provide a parsimonious approach to the study of fairness “in action,” with evidence from Western Europe and the United States.

In Western democracies, Cavaillé argues, reasoning about the fairness of redistributive social policies implies two types of fairness evaluation: (1) how fair is it for some to make (a lot) more money than others in the marketplace, (2) how fair is it for some to receive more in benefits than they pay in taxes? Each question calls to mind a different norm of fairness: the proportionality norm, which prescribes that individual rewards be proportional to effort and talent, and the reciprocity norm, which prescribes that cooperative behavior be rewarded more than uncooperative behavior. Agreement with these two norms is quasi-universal. Where people differ is in their beliefs about the prevalence of norm-violating outcomes and behaviors, i.e., the extent to which what is deviates from what ought to be. These fairness beliefs provide individuals with a proto-ideology through which to interpret the world and pick policies that increase the fairness of the status quo. Accounting for the nature and empirical manifestations of fairness reasoning provides a new understanding of the demand side of redistributive politics in times of rising inequality.

Charlotte Cavaillé is an assistant professor of public policy at the University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. Previously, she was a visiting fellow at Princeton University’s Center for the Study of Democratic Politics and an assistant professor at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. Through her research, which has appeared in the *Journal of Politics* and the *American Political Science Review*, Cavaillé examines the dynamics of popular attitudes towards redistributive social policies at a time of rising inequality, high fiscal stress, and high levels of immigration. She is currently turning her dissertation, which received the 2016 Mancur Olson Best Dissertation Award, into a book manuscript entitled “Asking for More: Support for Redistribution in the Age of Inequality.” Building on that work, she also studies the relationship between immigration, the welfare state, and the rise of populism. Cavaillé received her PhD in government and social policy from Harvard University in 2014.

This is an in-person event for U-M students, faculty, and staff only. You may participate remotely by registering at: https://myumi.ch/WJ29m

This lecture is part of the WCED series on "Capitalism and Democracy." 2022 will mark the 30th anniversary of the publication of Capitalist Development and Democracy (by Dietrich Rueschmeyer et. al. in 1992) and the 80th anniversary of the publication of Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy (by Joseph Schumpeter in 1942). It is thus a perfect occasion to think anew about how capitalism and democracy interact. At WCED we will be hosting a series of events with “Capitalism and Democracy” as our annual theme.

CREES Noon Lecture. Narratives of Transnational Solidarity in the Archives of Yugoslav Newsreels (February 23, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91241 91241-21677513@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 23, 2022 12:00pm

The Yugoslav Newsreels of Belgrade collection is a site of forgotten and untold stories about solidarities and transnational collaborations in an era of anti-colonial struggle. For the past five years, the Non-Aligned Newsreels artistic research project, headed by filmmaker Mila Turajlić, has been focused on reactivating the political potential of these filmed materials. From the films made by the Yugoslav cameramen accompanying President Tito's '"Voyages of Peace" across the non-aligned world in the 1950s, to the footage taken for liberation movements and newly independent countries in the 1960s, the aim has been to explore how filmed images chronicled the birth of a political project, becoming at the same time the vehicle through which this community was constituted. Working with the original cameraman, and soliciting the subjectivities of those represented in the images, the project aims to resurrect forgotten narratives and to invite a reflection on the cinematic representation of political visions.

Mila Turajlić is an award-winning director born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. Her documentary, *The Other Side of Everything,* won 32 awards including the prestigious IDFA Award for Best Documentary Film. It was nominated for the European Parliament’s LUX Prize. Mila’s previous film, *Cinema Komunisto,* premiered at Tribeca and won 16 awards including the FOCAL Award for Creative Use of Archival Footage. In 2018, she was commissioned by MoMA to create archive-based video installations for their landmark exhibition on Yugoslav architecture. In 2020, Mila was a Chicken & Egg Award grantee and invited to join the AMPAS Documentary Branch.

How did paintings of dogs, cats, and horses help build European empires? Consider this question along with UMMA Curator for University Learning and Programs and U-M faculty Bénédicte Boisseron (Department of Afroamerican and African Studies). Boisseron and Choberka will take you on a journey to explore how empires see the world and how representations of animals and actual animals themselves have been deployed in the building and unmaking of empires.

This is an in-person event, held at UMMA. Free. Registration Required. 

Participants will be asked to do a teensie-weensie little assignment before the session. Don’t worry. It’ll be fun!

Subject Matters is offered in collaboration with the UM faculty who worked with UMMA to curate installations in Curriculum / Collection for use by their university classes. Together, we are bringing the UMMA classroom experience to you. You’ll learn about the subject matter, about art, and you’ll have loads of fun doing it. We hope to see you there.

We’d love to see you at all the Subject Matters sessions! Upcoming events are: March 22 - 6:00pm Subject Matter: Materials Science and Engineering What is This Made Of? Materials / Making / Meaning  Guest faculty: Tim Chambers (Materials Science and Engineering)

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick, and the Eleanor Noyes Crumpacker Endowment Fund.

CCPS Lecture. How to Write History from Below and Why it Matters: A Conversation with Adam Leszczyński about his *People’s History of Poland* (March 16, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89947 89947-21666553@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 16, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

Adam Leszczyński’s *People’s History of Poland* shifts the lens of history to focus on the lower and working classes to retell the history of Poland from the perspective of serfs, industrial workers, domestic servants, and their turbulent road to (relative) emancipation. The book became an instant hit in Poland, selling nearly 50 thousand copies and sparking lively debates. In his lecture, Dr. Leszczyński will discuss his method and will reflect on the varied reactions to this new telling of national history.

Adam Leszczyński is a journalist, sociologist, and historian. He specializes on social history and historical sociology, teaching courses on journalism and the history of Poland at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw. He is a co-founder of OKO.press, a non-profit, investigative journalist and fact-checking project, created to preserve freedom of speech and secure access to information in Poland. Leszczyński is a frequent contributor to OKO.press, writing about Polish politics and history, and the Law and Justice government’s politics of memory.

Winter 2022 MEMS Lecture. Arcadia Brasiliensis: Landscape and Colonial Dislocation in the Poetry of Cláudio Manuel da Costa (March 18, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/92049 92049-21686409@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 18, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)

The publication of the Orbas of the Brazilian Cláudio Manuel da Costa in 1769 is recognized as the beginning of a period in Brazilian colonial literature termed ‘Arcadianism.’ The literature of this period displays the initial formulations of Brazilian national identity, anticipating its independence in 1822 and negotiated by means of a neoclassical armature.

My lecture will consider formulations of space and landscape in the work of Cláudio Manuel da Costa, whose poetry, centered around the Greco-Roman bucolic Arcadia, reconciles the experience of inhabiting a landscape altered by colonialist intervention with the idyllic projection of the European literature which serves as his literary antecedent. Such a formulation encapsulates the tension between real and imagined spaces that characterizes European geographical thinking after the so-called ‘discovery’ of the Americas, which fundamentally altered the European world view.

The literature that emerged from the era of Iberian discovery and exploration would shape its colonial spaces in its own imagination through reliance on literary formulations of space coined in the literatures of Greco-Roman antiquity. This Eurocentric narrative is disrupted by literatures produced by the inhabitants of this New World, shaping the world that was their center in contradistinction to its image in European literatures.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

*The Wedding Day (Wesele),* by acclaimed director Wojciech Smarzowski, tackles the 1941 Jedwabne pogrom, during which Polish villagers tortured and murdered hundreds of Jewish neighbors. The story is set at a wedding celebration in a small town in northeastern Poland, and moves between past and present, with repressed memories of past violent events resurfacing in the present. In *The Wedding Day,* Smarzowski offers a stringent critique of current-day nationalism and the politics of denial in Poland.

In Polish with English subtitles (135 min., 2021). Free and open to the public. Tickets can be obtained in advance at https://myumi.ch/Nmr2M

Organized By: Judaic Studies

In his talk, Vitaly Chernoivanenko, a Jewish Ukrainian researcher, will speak about the Ukrainian Jewish community and how, along with other Ukrainian communities, it has confronted recent Russian invasion and brutal aggression. What does it mean, both broadly and in this specific example, to decide to leave or stay in a country embroiled in war? Is there solidarity and assistance from other Jews worldwide, including Israel? What is the place of Ukrainian Jewish Studies and Ukrainian academics in these extreme times? Prof. Chernoivanenko will discuss these questions, and share his personal experiences and reflections during this war.

"I have a crisis for you": Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War (August 25, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/96538 96538-21792754@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, August 25, 2022 9:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

An exhibit curated by Grace Mahoney and Jessica Zychowicz
Featuring work by Kinder Album, JT Blatty, Oksana Briukhovetska (MFA, Stamps School of Art and Design), Oksana Kazmina, Sonya Hukaylo, Svetlana Lavochkina, Kateryna Lisovenko, and Lyuba Yakimchuk.

Lane Hall Exhibit Space
204 South State Street

About the exhibit:
In February 2022, the world witnessed the invasion of Ukraine and all-out war of aggression by the Russian Federation. Since this time, massive casualties, human rights violations, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing, illustrate in bomb shelters, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document, create, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.

Curated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna), "'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War" showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The involved artists are painters, photographers, filmmakers, poets, translators, and textile artists. Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east.

The featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:

“— our love’s gone missing, I explain to a friend/ it vanished in one of the wars/ we waged in our kitchen/ — change the word ‘war’ to ‘crisis,’ he suggests/ because a crisis is something everyone has from time to time.”

Like in Yakimchuk’s poem, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine, juxtapose, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships, the workings interior lives, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship.

The exhibit will be accompanied by a companion website which includes an expanded set of informational and aid-related resources.

"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War" is hosted by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies with co-sponsorship from the Center for Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, the Museum Studies Program, the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east.

The featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:

“— our love’s gone missing, I explain to a friend/ it vanished in one of the wars/ we waged in our kitchen/ — change the word ‘war’ to ‘crisis,’ he suggests/ because a crisis is something everyone has from time to time.”

Like in Yakimchuk’s poem, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine, juxtapose, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships, the workings interior lives, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship.

The exhibit will be accompanied by a companion website which includes an expanded set of informational and aid-related resources.

"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War" is hosted by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies with co-sponsorship from the Center for Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, the Museum Studies Program, the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

About the exhibit:
In February 2022, the world witnessed the invasion of Ukraine and all-out war of aggression by the Russian Federation. Since this time, massive casualties, human rights violations, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing, illustrate in bomb shelters, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document, create, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.

No Straight Lines: Peculiar Pasts and Crooked Futures (September 13, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95228 95228-21797001@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 13, 2022 10:00am
Location:
Organized By: Department of History

Geoff Eley’s work has fundamentally reframed key questions in the field of German history and lastingly shaped the discipline of history. His work spans centuries and reaches across oceans. The questions he has asked are both pointed and of universal relevance. His contributions witnessed and shaped the many “turns” the discipline of history itself has made. His list of publications spans more pages than the average reading list for preliminary examinations in the field of German history. If one counts the presentations he has given at workshops and conferences one would assume he has lived three lives. As the organizers of this symposium in his honor, we suggest that the work of Geoff Eley deliberately evades “capture.” Instead of pounding a signpost into the ground and leaving his mark, Geoff has built bridges between fields and made waves within them, touching innumerable lives and minds in the process. To ride the waves and travel across these bridges by bringing together some of the many scholars, colleagues, students, and friends that have learned with and from Geoff is the purpose of this symposium.

No Straight Lines celebrates Geoff Eley’s impressive career, the breadth, range and importance of his scholarship, his spirit as a teacher, mentor and colleague, and his life-long commitment to justice, within and beyond the academy. Starting out as a scholar of German nationalism and the German political right and reframing the “peculiarities” of that history as an emerging young scholar, Geoff Eley’s work bore the imprint of comparative history, of thinking with concepts and theories rather than applying them, of pushing against boundaries that confine “acceptable” ways of thinking about the past, which he is currently putting into practice again by writing a comprehensive history of 20th Century Europe. Throughout his career, he has traced and critically reflected on how historical thinking has itself changed as a result of historical processes. No Straight Lines seeks to take stock of and celebrate the extent to which Geoff Eley’s work has in fact been indispensable to the intellectual shifts he has so skillfully traced and succinctly explained.

Besides celebrating the breadth and impact of Geoff Eley’s scholarship, No Straight Lines seeks to remind us all of the many ways in which his work was never just theoretical but was always connected with and energized by thinkers, writers, scholars, and students, and in turn, supported and touched so many of them in lasting ways. In this regard the Saturday dinner is as crucial a part of this symposium, as is the discussion of Eley’s scholarly footprint. That footprint was never purely abstract; nor was it only intellectual. Rather it continues to invigorate the many friendships and collaborations he has built and sustained over his career. This symposium brings us together to honor the experience of learning from and with Geoff Eley.

Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

An exhibit curated by Grace Mahoney and Jessica Zychowicz
Featuring work by Kinder Album, JT Blatty, Oksana Briukhovetska (MFA, Stamps School of Art and Design), Oksana Kazmina, Sonya Hukaylo, Svetlana Lavochkina, Kateryna Lisovenko, and Lyuba Yakimchuk.

About the exhibit:
In February 2022, the world witnessed the invasion of Ukraine and all-out war of aggression by the Russian Federation. Since this time, massive casualties, human rights violations, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing, illustrate in bomb shelters, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document, create, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.

Curated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna), "'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War" showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The involved artists are painters, photographers, filmmakers, poets, translators, and textile artists. Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east.

The featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:

“— our love’s gone missing, I explain to a friend/ it vanished in one of the wars/ we waged in our kitchen/ — change the word ‘war’ to ‘crisis,’ he suggests/ because a crisis is something everyone has from time to time.”

Like in Yakimchuk’s poem, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine, juxtapose, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships, the workings interior lives, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship.

The exhibit will be accompanied by a companion website which includes an expanded set of informational and aid-related resources.

"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War" is hosted by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies with co-sponsorship from the Center for Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, the Museum Studies Program, the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

EIHS Lecture: Commodified Communism: Values and Prices in the Polish People’s Republic (September 15, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/95286 95286-21789122@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 15, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

Can a market society exist without commodifying human labor? That question has been debated by Marxist theoreticians for over a century, but in the Polish People’s Republic it penetrated even the most mundane policy discussions. The people who staffed the planning offices had to figure out what things were worth, and in the process they came to erase the line between values (in every sense of that word) and prices. They tried to pursue socialist goals with a neoclassical economic methodology, which even today is often defended as a viable strategy. Maybe it is, but in Poland it failed catastrophically.

Brian Porter-Szűcs is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of History at the University of Michigan, where he has taught since 1994. His most recent book is Całkiem zwyczajny kraj: Historia Polski bez martyrologii (A Perfectly Ordinary Country: A History of Poland without Martyrology) (Wydawnictwo Filtry, 2021), which is a revised and expanded version of Poland and the Modern World: Beyond Martyrdom (Wiley Blackwell, 2014). His earlier works include Faith and Fatherland: Catholicism, Modernity, and Poland (Oxford University Press, 2011), and When Nationalism Began to Hate: Imagining Modern Politics in 19th Century Poland (Oxford University Press, 2000).

This event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

Through much of its history, Italy was a major source of artworks and antiquities for élite collectors who bought, sold, and plundered for profit and prestige. Today, the national government operates a specialized art police unit to combat looting and smuggling and repatriate stolen Italian art from across international boundaries. But the Italian state now faces intensifying demands to return art and antiquities that its own élites and government officials appropriated during Italy's colonial occupation of Libya and Ethiopia. Why has restitution surged in political prominence, and how has Italy turned the issue to its advantage? This talk will explain the unique components of Italian cultural power—a controversial convergence of nationalism, private capital, and international diplomacy -- and why they have positioned Italy as an authority on restitution within the EU and Mediterranean region.

Fiona Greenland is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Virginia. She studies nationalism, art markets, and the politics of cultural heritage. Her book, Ruling Culture: Art Police, Tomb Robbers, and the Rise of Cultural Power in Italy, was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2021. It traces the ascendence of the Italian state's elite Art Squad and its ongoing effort to eradicate tomb robbing and artifact smuggling from its territories. Her new project examines the pioneering efforts of Jewish artists and survivors to repatriate Nazi-looted art from the West German and Italian governments in the 1960s and 1970s. Greenland’s research is supported by the National Science Foundation and the Institute of the Humanities and Global Culture at the University of Virginia. Her work has been published in the American Journal of Cultural Sociology, Nations and Nationalism, Sociological Theory, and Theory and Society, among other outlets. She is the founder and co-director of the CURIA Lab (Cultural Resilience Informatics and Analysis). For more information: https://curialab.org/

"I have a crisis for you": Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War (September 20, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/96538 96538-21792780@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 20, 2022 9:00am
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

An exhibit curated by Grace Mahoney and Jessica Zychowicz
Featuring work by Kinder Album, JT Blatty, Oksana Briukhovetska (MFA, Stamps School of Art and Design), Oksana Kazmina, Sonya Hukaylo, Svetlana Lavochkina, Kateryna Lisovenko, and Lyuba Yakimchuk.

Lane Hall Exhibit Space
204 South State Street

About the exhibit:
In February 2022, the world witnessed the invasion of Ukraine and all-out war of aggression by the Russian Federation. Since this time, massive casualties, human rights violations, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing, illustrate in bomb shelters, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document, create, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.

Curated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna), "'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War" showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The involved artists are painters, photographers, filmmakers, poets, translators, and textile artists. Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east.

The featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:

“— our love’s gone missing, I explain to a friend/ it vanished in one of the wars/ we waged in our kitchen/ — change the word ‘war’ to ‘crisis,’ he suggests/ because a crisis is something everyone has from time to time.”

Like in Yakimchuk’s poem, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine, juxtapose, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships, the workings interior lives, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship.

The exhibit will be accompanied by a companion website which includes an expanded set of informational and aid-related resources.

"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War" is hosted by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies with co-sponsorship from the Center for Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, the Museum Studies Program, the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

Like in Yakimchuk’s poem, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine, juxtapose, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships, the workings interior lives, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship.

The exhibit will be accompanied by a companion website which includes an expanded set of informational and aid-related resources.

"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War" is hosted by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies with co-sponsorship from the Center for Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, the Museum Studies Program, the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

About the exhibit:
In February 2022, the world witnessed the invasion of Ukraine and all-out war of aggression by the Russian Federation. Since this time, massive casualties, human rights violations, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing, illustrate in bomb shelters, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document, create, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.

Curated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna), "'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War" showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The involved artists are painters, photographers, filmmakers, poets, translators, and textile artists. Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east.

The featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:

Organized By: Department of History

Geoff Eley’s work has fundamentally reframed key questions in the field of German history and lastingly shaped the discipline of history. His work spans centuries and reaches across oceans. The questions he has asked are both pointed and of universal relevance. His contributions witnessed and shaped the many “turns” the discipline of history itself has made. His list of publications spans more pages than the average reading list for preliminary examinations in the field of German history. If one counts the presentations he has given at workshops and conferences one would assume he has lived three lives. As the organizers of this symposium in his honor, we suggest that the work of Geoff Eley deliberately evades “capture.” Instead of pounding a signpost into the ground and leaving his mark, Geoff has built bridges between fields and made waves within them, touching innumerable lives and minds in the process. To ride the waves and travel across these bridges by bringing together some of the many scholars, colleagues, students, and friends that have learned with and from Geoff is the purpose of this symposium.

No Straight Lines celebrates Geoff Eley’s impressive career, the breadth, range and importance of his scholarship, his spirit as a teacher, mentor and colleague, and his life-long commitment to justice, within and beyond the academy. Starting out as a scholar of German nationalism and the German political right and reframing the “peculiarities” of that history as an emerging young scholar, Geoff Eley’s work bore the imprint of comparative history, of thinking with concepts and theories rather than applying them, of pushing against boundaries that confine “acceptable” ways of thinking about the past, which he is currently putting into practice again by writing a comprehensive history of 20th Century Europe. Throughout his career, he has traced and critically reflected on how historical thinking has itself changed as a result of historical processes. No Straight Lines seeks to take stock of and celebrate the extent to which Geoff Eley’s work has in fact been indispensable to the intellectual shifts he has so skillfully traced and succinctly explained.

Besides celebrating the breadth and impact of Geoff Eley’s scholarship, No Straight Lines seeks to remind us all of the many ways in which his work was never just theoretical but was always connected with and energized by thinkers, writers, scholars, and students, and in turn, supported and touched so many of them in lasting ways. In this regard the Saturday dinner is as crucial a part of this symposium, as is the discussion of Eley’s scholarly footprint. That footprint was never purely abstract; nor was it only intellectual. Rather it continues to invigorate the many friendships and collaborations he has built and sustained over his career. This symposium brings us together to honor the experience of learning from and with Geoff Eley.

Annual Distinguished Lecture on Europe. Poland as a Front-Line State: How to Defend Pax Europaea (September 29, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96531 96531-21792626@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 29, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

After the fall of communism the independent Poland set two strategic goals. Firstly, to join the western world, to make transatlantic (NATO) and European (EU) integration the cornerstone of our security and civilizational development. Secondly, to “build the West in the East”- that means to continue the enlargement process to Ukraine and Belarus. This was perceived as the only way to guarantee the sovereignty of these states and finally bury the imperial ambitions of the Kremlin. As a consequence Poland, for the first time in history, would be surrounded by allies who would not pose any threat to its security.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine proved that these goals remain valid. There is no secure Poland without a strong West and a free, independent Ukraine. At the same time the invasion demonstrated how much the world has changed over the last three decades. The Pax Europaea (which was believed to be eternal) is in mortal danger, and with that the integrity and the global position of the western world. The outcome of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict will not only determine the security of Poland and freedom of tens of millions of people in Eastern Europe. It will also predestine the future of the West and the global balance of power.

Poland as a front-line state may have a historical role to play in this process. However the significance of Poland will depend on its ability to act not as a peripheral player but as an important partner to the US, Germany and France. A partner which is able and willing to share responsibility not only for itself but also for the future of the whole Western world.

Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz served as the first female Ambassador of Poland to the Russian Federation since the establishment of Polish–Russian relations (2014-16). Previously, she served as the Undersecretary of State at the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. From 2008 to 2012 she was a member of the Polish Russian Group on Difficult Matters. She graduated from the Institute of Sociology of the University of Warsaw in 1994 and subsequently worked at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. She was a deputy director of the Center for Eastern Studies and the head of its Russian Department. She is the author of numerous publications on the systemic transformation in Central-Eastern Europe, the EU, and Polish eastern policy.

This even will be held both in person and webcast via Zoom. Registration is required to attend the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/Qe9Nk.

Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

Please join us for a discussion of the diplomacy between the United States, key NATO allies, and Russia surrounding the war in Ukraine. Genevieve Zubrzycki, University of Michigan Professor of sociology, will moderate an armchair conversation with three noted experts: former Polish Ambassador to Russia Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, former U.S. Ambassador to Russia John Beyrle, and former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun. They will examine key Western interests at stake, the evolution of U.S. and NATO approaches to Russia, and evident Russian aims in Ukraine and the surrounding region. They will also discuss the road ahead, identifying realistic goals for diplomacy in the months and years ahead and ways to pursue those objectives most effectively.

This event hosted by the Gerald Ford School of Public Policy and the International Policy Center, and is co-sponsored with LSA’s Center for Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies (CREES).

About the exhibit:
In February 2022, the world witnessed the invasion of Ukraine and all-out war of aggression by the Russian Federation. Since this time, massive casualties, human rights violations, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing, illustrate in bomb shelters, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document, create, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.

Curated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna), "'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War" showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The involved artists are painters, photographers, filmmakers, poets, translators, and textile artists. Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east.

The featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:

“— our love’s gone missing, I explain to a friend/ it vanished in one of the wars/ we waged in our kitchen/ — change the word ‘war’ to ‘crisis,’ he suggests/ because a crisis is something everyone has from time to time.”

Like in Yakimchuk’s poem, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine, juxtapose, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships, the workings interior lives, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship.

The exhibit will be accompanied by a companion website which includes an expanded set of informational and aid-related resources.

"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War" is hosted by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies with co-sponsorship from the Center for Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, the Museum Studies Program, the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

A league of universal monarchies – recontextualising Rome in world history (October 6, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/98644 98644-21797008@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 6, 2022 4:00pm

Summary: This paper sets out in search of a new world history context for Rome. Traditionally world history was seen as a function of European history, leaving most of the world standing idle on the side-line. This view has long since collapsed, but a new image of world history has yet to take its place. While the Roman Empire nested snuggly in a story that saw history progress through stages of European development, from antiquity till the present, its position was nevertheless characterised by a paradox. From A European perspective, Rome, the pan-Mediterranean empire, was an anomaly, an exception. But, while Rome the universal empire find few parallels in later European history, dominated by middling-sized states, it fits into a wider and dynamic comparative history of grand imperial monarchies, ranging across the pre-industrial Afro-Eurasian world. This is the new world history context against which we should explore the Greco-Roman experience.

Peter Fibiger Bang, PhD (Cantab), Dr. Phil (Haf) is Associate Professor at the Saxo Institute (history), University of Copenhagen. He has worked extensively on Roman economic and comparative imperial history. Among his many books are: The Roman Bazaar (CUP 2008), Universal Empire (co-edited with D. Kolodziejczyk, CUP 2012) and most recently The Oxford World History of Empire, 2 vols. (co-edited with C. A. Bayly & W. Scheidel, OUP 2021)
