Q&A Discussion. An Artist and a Foreign Agent (January 21, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90966 90966-21675105@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 21, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

Join us for a discussion with artist Darya Apakhonchich about how Putin’s Foreign Agent law has impacted life and art in Russia. From NPR: “In December, the 36-year-old mother of two discovered that the Justice Ministry had included her in a list of ‘foreign media agents,’ alongside media outlets including U.S. government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. Apakhonchich's offenses were getting paid by organizations such as the French College at St. Petersburg State University and posting her political views on social media.”

This discussion is organized by the Flying Subtitles Collective (https://sites.google.com/view/flying-subtitles/home) and will be facilitated by Ania Aizman, assistant professor of Slavic languages and literatures and Michigan Society of Fellows postdoctoral scholar at U-M, and Arthur Mengozzi, MIRS-Russian East European, and Eurasian Studies student.

The Flying Subtitles Collective, based at the University of Michigan, subtitled a documentary about life on the Foreign Agent Registry, available here: https://tinyurl.com/ForeignAgent.

International Policy Center Aid & Development Series. Planning for development impact: A practical workshop on international development (January 24, 2022 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90981 90981-21675126@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 24, 2022 11:30am
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

This is the inaugural workshop of IPC’s new Aid & Development series. At Aid & Development events, students build practical skills for future international development careers.

This is an in-person event for current U-M students. Students must attend BOTH sessions in their entirety. This event will not be live streamed.

How do international development projects design and manage activities that are targeted towards a particular development impact? This two-part workshop will provide students with a hands-on opportunity to develop and apply these crucial design, planning, and management skills using a United States foreign aid project in Central America as a case study. The ubiquitous tools of theory of change, logical frameworks, and performance management planning will be explored within the context of the US Agency for International Development-funded, Lifelong Learning Project, carried out in Guatemala from 2014-2021.

After discussing the tools and their applications, students will work in teams to apply them to the project’s specific international development goals. At the end of each application, student recommendations will be compared to actual project decisions, and the class will examine the differences and various factors leading to those differences. To facilitate this process, students will be asked to complete one short reading (~five pages) in advance of the first workshop day.

By the end of the workshop, students will have gained a better understanding of how international development teams connect activities to impact, while adding marketable development management skills to their professional toolkit.

This workshop will be led by Amy Beck Harris, a post-doctoral fellow at the Ford School of Public Policy. Dr. Harris merges both experience as a former foreign aid implementation professional working on USAID and World Bank projects, and academic expertise in public management, international development, foreign aid contracting, and participatory development. Dr. Harris holds a PhD in Public Policy and Management from the University of Washington.

Participating students must agree to complete one short reading prior to the workshop. More details will be provided upon registration:

Fareed Zakaria’s Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World (January 24, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90208 90208-21668719@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 24, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

We will read and discuss the title book in which Zakaria states “even with vaccines and therapies, a plague has a unique effect on the world economy....the most transformative event of our lifetimes...simultaneously affecting almost every human being on the planet.”

This book is not about masks or vaccines. It deals with impacts on governance, politics, markets, inequality and social trends. He talks about “tight” and “loose” countries and how their responses to COVID may affect their ways of governing.

Gerry Lapidus has lead OLLI book discussions since 2005. Classes are informal and conversational. He leads the first discussion and requests volunteers to lead subsequent meetings while he serves as moderator. Please read Introduction and Lesson One (p. 1-29) for the first session.

This class meets on Tuesdays, from January 18 – May 31. No classes on holidays.

Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

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.

WDI, U-M Poverty Solutions Hosts Inclusive Fintech Pioneer Collins (February 3, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/91854 91854-21684138@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 3, 2022 10:00am
Location:
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

Traditional surveys and questionnaires can be imprecise methods for understanding the needs and motivations of low-income and vulnerable populations. In a Feb. 17 virtual discussion, acclaimed author and entrepreneur Daryl Collins will explore how technology can help researchers, nonprofits and businesses engage and serve these communities around the world.

During the talk, Collins will share examples of how her company, Decodis, is using technology to collect and analyze qualitative data in a more scalable and lower-cost manner. Collins will share examples of collecting data using WhatsApp audio responses to understand changes in gender norms and assessing Google Play reviews of digital lending apps in India. In both examples, Collins will share how she and her team used Natural Language Processing (NLP) – a common market tool - to detect key topics and phrases to unpack the meaning of the responses. She’ll also share how she and her team analyzed speech signals (such as pitch, duration of responses and voice modulation) in the audio files to determine whether the respondent was engaged in their responses, when the respondent was unsure, and when the respondent gave them a “canned response” — i.e., telling the researchers what he/she thought the researchers wanted to hear.

The William Davidson Institute and the University of Michigan’s Poverty Solutions are co-sponsoring the talk, which begins at 5 p.m. is free and open to the public.

As a pioneer working at the intersection of finance and human vulnerability, Collins has built a broad portfolio of work with financial service providers, foundations, bilateral donors and governments. Collins’ work is grounded in a deep understanding of the financial lives of individuals. She is the author of the ground-breaking “Portfolios of the Poor” and creator of the Financial Diaries, a research tool used in over 10 countries, including South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania. 

People living at or near poverty levels are less likely to speak their minds when responding to surveys and other efforts to collect data. This hesitancy is understandable, but it also creates a real challenge for researchers, enterprises and policymakers to better understand their needs, said Heather Esper, Director of WDI’s Performance Measurement & Improvement group.

“Daryl Collins is truly a pioneer in collecting and analyzing data to better understand the lives of low-income and vulnerable individuals at scale,” Esper said. “The qualitative methods she uses shed more light on what individuals are saying by accounting for how they say it.”

Collins recently established Decodis with a team of linguists and Natural Language Processing data scientists. Decodis seeks to advance scale and robustness in qualitative research techniques by providing tech-led consumer research methods that are insightful, scalable and low cost. The Decodis team is currently working on a range of projects across a breadth of countries, languages and sectors to explore new ways of both collecting and analyzing open-end response data. 

Collins holds bachelor’s and master's degrees in economics from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from New York University. She spent the last decade as Managing Director and CEO of BFA, a niche financial inclusion consulting practice with offices in Boston, New York, Nairobi, Accra, New Delhi and Medellin.

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*.

MLK Event — The Wayland Rudd Collection: Exploring Racial Imaginaries in Soviet Visual Culture (February 7, 2022 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90496 90496-21671197@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 7, 2022 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Slavic Languages & Literatures

Scholar, artist, and writer Yevgeniy Fiks presents an archive of Soviet media images of Africans and African Americans — from propaganda posters to postage stamps — mainly related to African liberation movements and civil rights struggles. The project is named after Wayland Rudd (1900-1952), a Black American actor who moved to the Soviet Union in 1932. Fiks brings together post-colonial and post-Soviet perspectives, mapping the complicated and often contradictory intersection of race and Communism in the Soviet context, exposing the interweaving of internationalism, solidarity, humanism, and Communist ideals with practices of othering and exoticization. The Wayland Rudd Collection focuses on the Soviet Union’s critique of systemic racism in the US.
Yevgeniy Fiks was born in Moscow in 1972 and has lived and worked in New York since 1994. As a “post-Soviet artist,” his works build on research into Cold War narratives to explore the dialectic between Communism and “the West.”

Sensing Water in Mexico City
Branko Kerkez and Elizabeth F.S. Roberts, University of Michigan

Monday, Feb. 14, The Open Talks will be held noon to 1pm, and the Grad Workshops will be held 1 to 3pm.
Zoom only

Abstract:
A growing number of the world’s urban households only receive water intermittently. In this paper we describe our multi-disciplinary project, bringing together engineers and ethnographers, that seeks to sense the effects of intermittency in working class neighborhoods in Mexico City. We installed newly engineered water sensors in participant households, allowing us to apprehend previously unseen dynamics, for example that weekly versus daily intermittency has substantial effects on water quality. Through ethnographic data from these same households we found that in regards to the constant labor of managing water, daily versus weekly intermittency also has complex and counterintuitive effects on domestic life. Our ethnographic/engineering collaboration allows us to document complex water phenomena, that we could not have seen on our own, and by sensing how these complex water dynamics produce different household water ways we have more of a sense of what the future might hold.

This is a part of the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD) Winter 2022 Series - "Water Ways: New Social Science, Science Studies, and Environmental Approaches to Water"

This is also a part of the class Anthrcul 558 section 002

WDI, U-M Poverty Solutions Hosts Inclusive Fintech Pioneer Collins (February 17, 2022 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91854 91854-21683556@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 17, 2022 5:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

Traditional surveys and questionnaires can be imprecise methods for understanding the needs and motivations of low-income and vulnerable populations. In a Feb. 17 virtual discussion, acclaimed author and entrepreneur Daryl Collins will explore how technology can help researchers, nonprofits and businesses engage and serve these communities around the world.

During the talk, Collins will share examples of how her company, Decodis, is using technology to collect and analyze qualitative data in a more scalable and lower-cost manner. Collins will share examples of collecting data using WhatsApp audio responses to understand changes in gender norms and assessing Google Play reviews of digital lending apps in India. In both examples, Collins will share how she and her team used Natural Language Processing (NLP) – a common market tool - to detect key topics and phrases to unpack the meaning of the responses. She’ll also share how she and her team analyzed speech signals (such as pitch, duration of responses and voice modulation) in the audio files to determine whether the respondent was engaged in their responses, when the respondent was unsure, and when the respondent gave them a “canned response” — i.e., telling the researchers what he/she thought the researchers wanted to hear.

The William Davidson Institute and the University of Michigan’s Poverty Solutions are co-sponsoring the talk, which begins at 5 p.m. is free and open to the public.

As a pioneer working at the intersection of finance and human vulnerability, Collins has built a broad portfolio of work with financial service providers, foundations, bilateral donors and governments. Collins’ work is grounded in a deep understanding of the financial lives of individuals. She is the author of the ground-breaking “Portfolios of the Poor” and creator of the Financial Diaries, a research tool used in over 10 countries, including South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania. 

People living at or near poverty levels are less likely to speak their minds when responding to surveys and other efforts to collect data. This hesitancy is understandable, but it also creates a real challenge for researchers, enterprises and policymakers to better understand their needs, said Heather Esper, Director of WDI’s Performance Measurement & Improvement group.

“Daryl Collins is truly a pioneer in collecting and analyzing data to better understand the lives of low-income and vulnerable individuals at scale,” Esper said. “The qualitative methods she uses shed more light on what individuals are saying by accounting for how they say it.”

Collins recently established Decodis with a team of linguists and Natural Language Processing data scientists. Decodis seeks to advance scale and robustness in qualitative research techniques by providing tech-led consumer research methods that are insightful, scalable and low cost. The Decodis team is currently working on a range of projects across a breadth of countries, languages and sectors to explore new ways of both collecting and analyzing open-end response data. 

Collins holds bachelor’s and master's degrees in economics from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from New York University. She spent the last decade as Managing Director and CEO of BFA, a niche financial inclusion consulting practice with offices in Boston, New York, Nairobi, Accra, New Delhi and Medellin.

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. 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.

Geneviève Zubrzycki is professor of sociology and director of the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia. Zubrzycki is a comparative-historical and cultural sociologist who studies national identity and religion, collective memory and national mythology, and the contested place of religious symbols in the public sphere.

WCED Lecture. Fair Enough? Fairness Reasoning and Demand for Redistribution (February 22, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90946 90946-21674996@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 22, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies

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

Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

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.

Moving health products from the research and development stage to the clinic is a long and costly process that involves many actors, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In these markets, global organizations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, and Gavi play a significant role in moving health products through the process. These organizations influence market behavior at the research and development, manufacturing, procurement and delivery stages with the hopes of increasing access to life saving health products to patients in LMICs. Their efforts have been effective. For example, over the last 20 years the number of deaths caused by AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria has been reduced by 46% in countries where Global Fund works. Gavi has helped immunize 760 million children in the last 21 years, preventing over 13 million deaths worldwide. These are significant achievements, but are there opportunities to better engage some of the other actors in this space, particularly those from the private sector? We will explore this idea through discussion with the panelists representing the Gates Foundation, the Global Fund and representing the Gates Foundation, the RBM Partnership to End Malaria, and The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB & Malaria.

The Silk Route is a collection of pathways that, together, link China to Vienna, Istanbul, Baghdad, and India across the Inner Asian steppe and desert. During our meetings participants will discuss the Silk Route as a cultural conduit, on the one hand, as the source of empire and technologies, on the other, and look at specific examples of cultural dissemination. The Silk Route has provided some of the most engaging and best written volumes of travel literature.

There will be no required readings, but students may enjoy Owen Lattimore’s “The Desert Road to Turkestan”, from 1928, or the Franciscan William of Rubruck’s account of his journey to Karakorum in 1255, where he found a Parisian goldsmith preparing a soft drink dispenser for the Khan.

Instructor Rudi Lindner will lead this study group.

This class meets on Wednesdays, from Mach 2– March 30. No classes on holidays.

Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies

In what ways have the new forms of international linkages developed by authoritarian regimes over the last few decades changed the calculus of autocratic power? Contributors to the Spring 2022 issue of the "Democracy and Autocracy" newsletter will address this and discuss topics ranging from financial flows, the global marketplace for surveillance and private intelligence, and foreign funded kleptocracy.

Panelists: Ronald J. Deibert, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Citizen Lab, University of Toronto; Jody LaPorte, Gonticas Tutorial Fellow in Politics and International Relations at Lincoln College, University of Oxford; Adeel Malik, Globe Fellow in the Economies of Muslim Societies and Associate Professor at St. Peter's College, University of Oxford; Anne Pitcher, Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies and Political Science, U-M; Ricardo Soares de Oliveira, Professor of the International Politics of Africa at the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford. Moderator: Dan Slater, WCED Director.

Ronald Deibert is the author of *Black Code: Surveillance, Privacy, and the Dark Side of the Internet* (Random House, 2013), and *RESET: Reclaiming the Internet for Civil Society* (House of Anansi, 2020) as part of the CBC Massey Lecture series. Under his directorship, The Citizen Lab undertakes interdisciplinary research at the intersection of global security, ICTs, and human rights. The research outputs of the Citizen Lab are routinely covered in global media, including dozens of reports receiving front page coverage in the *New York Times, Washington Post, Financial Times,* and other media over the last decade.

Jody LaPorte researches formal and informal politics in non-democratic regimes, with a regional focus in post-Soviet Eurasia. Her current research focuses on the political effects of corruption in Central Asia and the Caucasus. She also publishes on qualitative methods, including the development of new tools for qualitative and case study research. Her articles have been published in *Comparative Politics,* *Post-Soviet Affairs, Sociological Methods and Research, Political Research Quarterly, Slavic Review,* and *PS: Political Science and Politics.*

Adeel Malik is a development macroeconomist with a strong multi-disciplinary orientation. His research engages with questions of long-run development, political economy and economic history, with a special focus on Muslim societies. His work combines quantitative and qualitative research methods. Apart from engaging with cross-country empirics on development, he is trying to develop a broader research lens on the political economy of the Middle East. He co-directs the ERF Project on the Political Economy of Private Sector Dynamism in the Middle East, and serves as an associate editor of the *Palgrave Dictionary of Economics* (Middle East Economics and Finance).

Anne Pitcher's research comparatively examines the political economy of urban residential development, the distribution of goods under authoritarianism, and the role of regulatory agencies in Africa. She has undertaken extensive fieldwork in Mozambique, Angola, South Africa, and Zambia. In addition, she has built a dataset on the characteristics of privatization agencies in 29 African countries and is also currently geo-coding all the residential projects that have been completed in Luanda, Angola.

Ricardo Soares de Oliveira serves as an Official Fellow of St Peter's College and a Fellow with the Global Public Policy Institute, Berlin. He is co-editor of *African Affairs,* the journal of the Royal African Society, and co-director of the Oxford Martin School’s Programme on African Governance. He has conducted extensive fieldwork with a focus on the international political economy of African states, especially in regard to the extractive industries, the financial sector, conflict and post-conflict reconstruction, and African-Asian relations.

Good Bureaucrats and God: Ethical Labor in an Irrigation Bureaucracy
Maira Hayat, Notre Dame University

Monday, Mar. 14 via Zoom: Open Talks will be held noon to 1pm, and the Grad Workshops will be held 1 to 3pm.

Abstract:
Bureaucracies tend to feature in political and social theory as sites of structural violence, patriarchy, sovereign excess, or foils to ethical enterprise. This talk, however, argues for the unique importance of studying bureaucracy as a site of ethical laboring. Tracing the specific, surprising and sophisticated ways in which God participates in everyday bureaucratic practice in an Irrigation Department in Pakistan, it shows how bureaucrats’ attempts to be “good Muslims” can produce “good bureaucrats.” The yield is a deeper understanding of how state officials experience and navigate the pull of the ‘private’ in everyday ‘public’ waterswork, and how this in turn determines the service they provide. In foregrounding ethical laboring, the talk brings together the anthropology of bureaucracy, ethics, and secularity towards newer configurations.

This is a part of the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD) Winter 2022 Series - "Water Ways: New Social Science, Science Studies, and Environmental Approaches to Water"

This is also a part of the class Anthrcul 558 section 002

Her past work has contributed broadly to the study of institutional origin, change, and impact with an empirical focus on the former Soviet Union, primarily the five Central Asia states of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Currently, she is engaged in two major research projects. One explores the influence of religion on political attitudes and behavior in Muslim majority states with an emphasis on the relationship between religious regulation, religiosity, and political mobilization.

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.

WDI to Host Top Diplomat to Vietnam on Building Trust & Taking Risks (March 16, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/92377 92377-21690682@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 16, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

The William Davidson Institute (WDI) will host a discussion with Ted Osius, former U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam and leader of the US-ASEAN Business Council. He will discuss Vietnam’s economic transformation and the skills necessary to succeed in cross-cultural business. The talk, “Building Trust and Taking Risks,” is set for 2 p.m. March 16, via Zoom.

A diplomat for 30 years, Osius served from 2014 to 2017 as U.S. ambassador to Vietnam during the Obama Administration. Leading a team of 900, Osius devised and implemented strategies to deepen economic, security and cultural ties between the two countries. Only the second openly gay career diplomat in U.S. history to achieve the rank of ambassador, Osius went to Vietnam with his husband and two children.

After leaving government, Osius joined Google as its Vice President for Government Affairs and Public Policy at Google Asia-Pacific and currently serves as President of the US-ASEAN Business Council, which represents 170 of the largest American businesses in Southeast Asia through its headquarters in Washington, D.C., and its seven regional offices.

During the talk, Osius will share some of the key insights from his 2021 book “Nothing is Impossible: America’s Reconciliation with Vietnam.” He’ll then discuss his fascinating career, including his time in the foreign service, his transition to Google, and how he landed in his current position at the US-ASEAN Business Council. He’ll talk about the differences in working in the public sector vs. the private sector.

“As a leader in foreign service, private enterprise and nonprofit organizations, Ambassador Osius offers a unique perspective for how building understanding can lead to historic opportunities,” said Amy Gillett, Vice President for Education at WDI who will convene the discussion with Osius.

Participants will have an opportunity to submit questions during the discussion.

Earlier in his career, Osius was a senior advisor at the Albright-Stonebridge Group and Vice President of Fulbright University Vietnam. Osius was associate professor at the National War College and Senior Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

As a diplomat, Osius served as Deputy Chief of Mission in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Political Minister-Counselor in New Delhi, India. Osius also served as deputy director of the Office of Korean Affairs at the State Department, regional environment officer for Southeast Asia and the Pacific, and senior advisor on Asia and trade to Vice President Al Gore.

Osius earned a Bachelor’s degree from Harvard University, a Master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies, and an Honorary Doctorate from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education.

CREES Noon Lecture. What We Shared: Emotions as Documents of Historical Significance (March 23, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93460 93460-21704630@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 23, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

How do artists respond to events that shatter pre-existing ways of apprehending the world? Looking at *What We Shared*, a hybrid artist film set in a de facto state of Abkhazia, this illustrated artist talk proposes that in order to effectively process and offer valuable insights into the "unrepresentable" events that contain multiple truths (war, ethnic conflict), it is necessary to examine emotions as documents of historical significance.

Informed by the writings of Svetlana Alexievich, Svetlana Boym and Viktor Shklovsky, this talk argues that engaging with archive, memory, and trauma today requires experiential responses to testimony and that these responses challenge the rigidly defined categories of "objectivity," "fact," and "fiction."

Dr. Kamila Kuc explores stories that subvert dominant narratives of history, especially those relating to post-Soviet identities. She is a 2021 Jarman Award nominee. Her first feature film, *What We Shared* (2021), premiered at the 65th BFI London Film Festival and was described as one of "the finest examples of UK filmmaking" by *Festival Scope*. She is the author and editor of numerous books and articles on experimental media, including *Visions of Avant-Garde Film* (Indiana University Press).

This lecture will be presented in person in 555 Weiser Hall and on Zoom. Webinar registration required at https://myumi.ch/n8DRG

CREES is proud to co-sponsor the North American premiere of "What We Shared" at the 60th Ann Arbor Film Festival. Please see more details about the film showing as well as how to watch it online here: https://myumi.ch/Ek6yE

A public keynote presentation from Dr. Tonya Matthews, President and CEO of International African American Museum, will ask curators and other listeners to grapple with an increasing call for bolder conversations in the curation of African American cultural heritage. 

Dr. Tonya Matthews, President and CEO of International African American Museum, will ask us to grapple with increasing expectation for bolder conversations in curation of African American cultural heritage – particularly in considerations of descendants and living history. Is centering stewardship of enslaved African Americans’ craftwork at predominantly white institutions cultural appropriation or long-overdue acknowledgement? What are potential triggers of curating a community’s culture from outside of that geography? Is there any cross-learning in working with donors and working with descendants? Matthews will share learnings and current conversation surrounding the creation of the International African American Museum in Charleston, South Carolina as context for being on the frontlines of grappling with the intersection of historical and living history.

The event is free and open to the public. It will also be available via livestream.

This talk is presented in preparation for Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina, an upcoming traveling exhibition focused on the work of African American potters in the 19th-century American South and the contemporary artists who have responded to it. The exhibition is organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. After debuting in New York City, the exhibition will travel to Boston, followed by UMMA in Fall 2023, before the fourth and final venue, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.

Dr. Tonya M. Matthews is Chief Executive Officer of the International African American Museum (IAAM) at the historically sacred site of Gadsden’s Wharf in Charleston, SC. As a champion of authentic, empathetic storytelling of American history, IAAM is one of the nation’s newest platforms for the disruption of institutionalized racism as America continues the walk toward “a more perfect union.”  A thought-leader in inclusive frameworks, social entrepreneurship, and education, Matthews has written articles and book chapters across these varied subjects. She is founder of The STEMinista Project, a movement to engage girls in their future with STEM careers. Matthews is also a poet and is included in 100 Best African-American Poems (2010) edited by Nikki Giovanni. Matthews received her Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from Johns Hopkins University and her B.S.E. in engineering from Duke University, alongside a certificate in African/African-American Studies. 

About the exhibition: Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina  The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (September 9, 2022 – February 5, 2023) Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (March 6, 2023 – July 9, 2023) University of Michigan Museum of Art, Ann Arbor (August 26, 2023 – January 7, 2024) High Museum of Art, Atlanta (February 16, 2024 – May 12, 2024)

Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina is an exhibition focused on the work of African American potters in the 19th-century American South and the contemporary artists who have responded to it. Organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the exhibition is a groundbreaking presentation of approximately 60 ceramic objects from Edgefield, South Carolina, a center of ceramic production in the decades before the Civil War. Considered through the lens of recent scholarship in the fields of history, literature, anthropology, diaspora, material culture, and African American studies, these 19th-century wares testify to the artistic ambitions, lived experiences, and material knowledge of enslaved peoples and the realities of slavery in the industrial context.  

Hear Me Now offers a novel view of an underrepresented aspect of American enslavement, foregrounding objects made by enslaved potters and bringing this important history to larger audiences. Additionally, it aspires to link past to present, in part by including the work of leading contemporary Black artists who have responded to the Edgefield story, such as Simone Leigh and Woody De Othello, among others.

Adrienne Spinozzi, Assistant Curator of American Decorative Arts in the American Wing at The Met, Ethan Lasser, John Moors Cabot Chair of the Art of the Americas at the MFA, and Jason Young, Associate Professor of History at the University of Michigan are co-curating this project. They are advised and supported by a national board of artists and scholars who offer invaluable input and perspectives, throughout both the planning and development process.  

This program is organized in partnership with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the U-M Department of History with support from the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and the U-M Arts Initiative.

Organized By: Slavic Languages & Literatures

Before the war, the Ukrainian film and TV industry was flourishing in multiple languages, and a range of genres and themes.

The Flying Subtitles Collective (FSC), a joint initiative of students and faculty, talks to Iryna Zhygaliuk, a TV and film producer, scriptwriter, and filmmaker. Zhygaliuk graduated from Ohio University School of Film, returned to Ukraine, where she wrote, developed, and produced various TV series in the Ukrainian language for the burgeoning Ukrainian media market, which until then produced predominantly Russian-language content.

Her shorts have been screened in over 25 film festivals worldwide, including her debut student short “Laura vs. Global Warming” (2013). Other shorts, “Mother” and “How I Quit Birdwatching”, explore strained relationships.

In this Q&A, FSC members will ask Iryna about the state of Ukraine TV and film, before the war, and about her own work and interests, particularly the importance of humor in popular media. Join us for this informal conversation on Zoom, including screenings of short films!

NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE

Seven inhabitants of a de facto state on the Black Sea unfurl a web of stories about loss and displacement through the re-imaginings of dreams and memories of the 1992–93 war in Abkhazia. To question the unstable distinction between fact and fiction, these re-imaginings are interwoven with auto-fictional narration and archival materials that have been processed through an AI technology. The Black Sea permeating the film’s universe acts as a metaphor for both an idyllic holiday destination of utopian happiness as well as a perilous force.

Available online March 22-31 or in person at the Michigan Theater on March 27 at 1:15pm.

For a sneak peek, watch the trailer! https://vimeo.com/531298273

The director Kamila Kuc will also be giving a CREES Noon Lecture on March 23! Please see more details on the event here: https://myumi.ch/bRqrj

On Sunday, January 30, 1972, as an anti-internment march in Derry drew to an end, British paratroopers attacked the marchers, shooting dead 13 unarmed civilians, six of them still legally children, and wounding another 18, one of whom subsequently died. This marked the end of the civil rights campaign in Northern Ireland.

As the shooting ended on Bloody Sunday, the city of Derry descended into a silence that lasted past the funerals. This silence continued in homes for many years afterward. On the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, Paul Doherty, whose father Patrick was killed that day, will look through that silence and discuss what the families endured in the aftermath of the tragedy and what they ultimately achieved in their justice campaign over the next 50 years.

Cosponsored by the U-M Program in International and Comparative Studies.

Speaker: Paul Doherty is a founding member of the Bloody Sunday Justice Campaign and was instrumental in setting up the Bloody Sunday Inquiry in 1998. Paul is the owner and operator of Bogside History Tours in Derry, where he shares a personal, in-depth account of the history of the city, the Bloody Sunday Massacre, and first-hand knowledge of the ongoing campaign for justice on a daily basis.

Commentator: John Ciociari is an associate professor of public policy and director of the Ford School's International Policy Center and Weiser Diplomacy Center. His research focuses on international law and politics in the Global South.

*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

WCED Book Talk. *The Revolutionary City: Urbanization and the Global Transformation of Rebellion* (April 19, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/93239 93239-21701926@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 19, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies

Examining the changing character of revolution around the world, *The Revolutionary City* focuses on the impact that the concentration of people, power, and wealth in cities exercises on revolutionary processes and outcomes. Once predominantly an urban and armed affair, revolutions in the twentieth century migrated to the countryside, as revolutionaries searched for safety from government repression and discovered the peasantry as a revolutionary force. But at the end of the twentieth century, as urban centers grew, revolution returned to the city—accompanied by a new urban civic repertoire espousing the containment of predatory government and relying on visibility and the power of numbers rather than arms.

Using original data on revolutionary episodes since 1900, public opinion surveys, and engaging examples from around the world, Mark Beissinger explores the causes and consequences of the urbanization of revolution in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Beissinger examines the compact nature of urban revolutions, as well as their rampant information problems and heightened uncertainty. He investigates the struggle for control over public space, why revolutionary contention has grown more pacified over time, and how revolutions involving the rapid assembly of hundreds of thousands in central urban spaces lead to diverse, ad hoc coalitions that have difficulty producing substantive change. *The Revolutionary City* provides a new understanding of how revolutions happen and what they might look like in the future.

Mark R. Beissinger is Henry W. Putnam Professor in the Department of Politics at Princeton. He previously served on the faculties of University of Wisconsin-Madison and Harvard. His main fields of interest are social movements, revolutions, nationalism, state-building, and imperialism, with particular reference to the former Soviet Union, Russia, and the post-Soviet states. In addition to numerous articles and book chapters, Beissinger is author or editor of six books—most recently, *Historical Legacies of Communism in Russia and Eastern Europe* (2014), and The *Revolutionary City: Urbanization and the Global Transformation of Rebellion* (2022). His book *Nationalist Mobilization and the Collapse of the Soviet State* (2002) won multiple awards—among them, the American Political Science Association’s award for the best book published in the United States on government, politics, or international affairs.

This lecture will be presented in person in 1010 Weiser Hall and on Zoom. Webinar registration required at http://myumi.ch/pZRyD

Shifting sands: Rethinking the international security landscape amid China’s rise, Russia’s aggression, and diffusion of power (April 20, 2022 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/94413 94413-21738321@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 20, 2022 6:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

The international security landscape is currently undergoing a series of tectonic shifts – some occurring quickly, others occurring more gradually – that are fundamentally altering the challenges facing the United States and our allies. These include Russia’s aggression in Europe, China’s continued rise as a global power, and the continued diffusion of elements of power that were once the sole dominion of state actors but are now increasingly available to non-state actors and even individuals.

Rep. Elissa Slotkin will provide her thoughts on these issues and the challenges and opportunities they present the United States, with an introduction and Q&A moderated by Ann Lin, Associate Professor of Public Policy and Director of the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies.

Historians have long proposed that property is as much about relationships between people as it is about the ownership of “things.” It is about both belonging, and belongings. Property offers a window onto contestations over power, social relations, resources, identity and political imagination. Histories of property in Asia and Africa, in particular, are intertwined with histories of colonial expansion, the emergence of new forms of state power, the creation of new categories/taxonomies of governance, the appropriation of indigenous lands, the reordering of social relations, and new or reworked imaginaries of property

The purpose of this interdisciplinary conference, “Property and Being under Colonial Conditions in Asia and Africa,” is to explore how comparing intellectual, cultural, social, political-economic, and legal histories of property from African and Asian colonial contexts may help us rethink ideas about land, ownership, dispossession, rights, credit, subjectivities, and political imaginations. Participants will engage with the historically sedimented entanglements of colonial policy and indigenous practices, developmentalist desires, and cultural and climatic change. Conversations across these regions may thus enable new understandings of property histories.

The 26th Annual Comparative Literature Intra-Student Faculty Forum (CLIFF) (May 20, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/94977 94977-21788177@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, May 20, 2022 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Comparative Literature

How are our affective encounters with literature, art, and media bound by time, and how are we also—in such encounters—temporally unbound? If literary texts have variously been framed as anticipating, disruptive of, conforming to, producing, inhabiting, and/or responding to axes of time (as “timely,” “untimely,” “ahead of their time,” “nostalgic,” or “avant-garde”), they have likewise been understood as objects of pure fascination, aesthetic experience, and enchantment.

Enchantment, in particular, is frequently understood as an ephemeral experience, unique to the moment of our encounter with the enchanting. We are enchanted by things for brief, passing moments; we sometimes return to a once-enchanting object only to find the glamor it once cast upon us has broken; and at other times, this rediscovery itself—re-encountering a text or encountering it in a new (translated, adapted) form—prompts our re-enchantment.

To mark its 26th anniversary, the University of Michigan Comparative Literature Intra-Student Faculty Forum (CLIFF) organizes a virtual graduate conference that critically and creatively explores the intersection of world literatures, temporalities, and enchantment. We welcomed work that investigates literary and artistic constructions of and responses to notions of temporality and enchantment from aesthetic, historical, industrial, material, technological, speculative, post/colonial, feminist, queer, religious, translational, local and/or global perspectives.
CLIFF 2022 received submissions from graduate students (U-M and beyond) and was open to academic papers from across disciplines that deal with a wide variety of languages and time periods as well as creative and experimental genres.

Michael Allan’s research focuses on debates in world literature, postcolonial studies, literary theory, as well as film and visual culture, primarily in Africa and the Middle East. In both his research and teaching, he bridges textual analysis with social theory, and draws from methods in anthropology, religion, queer theory and area studies. He is the author of In the Shadow of World Literature: Sites of Reading in Colonial Egypt (Princeton 2016, Co-Winner of the MLA Prize for a First Book) and of articles in venues such as PMLA, Modernism/Modernity, Comparative Literature Studies, Early Popular Visual Culture, The International Journal of Middle East Studies, and the Journal of Arabic Literature. He is also a guest editor of a special issue of Comparative Literature (“Reading Secularism: Religion, Literature, Aesthetics”), and with Elisabetta Benigni, an issue of Philological Encounters (“Lingua Franca: Toward a Philology of the Sea”). He is at work on a second book, Picturing the World: The Global Routes of Early Cinema, 1896-1903, which traces the transnational history of camera operators working for the Lumière Brothers film company.
