The Hovey Lecture with Scott Tong, host of NPR's "Here and Now" (September 15, 2022 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96578 96578-21793118@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 15, 2022 5:00pm
Location: Mike & Mary Wallace House
Organized By: Wallace House Center for Journalists

Wallace House Presents the Graham Hovey Lecture with Scott Tong

In 2013, longtime China correspondent Scott Tong came to the Knight-Wallace Fellowships to research China’s on-again, off-again ties with the global community and how it connected with his family. The resulting book, “A Village with My Name: A Family History of China’s Opening to the World,” examines nationalism and globalization through the stories of five generations of Tongs. China’s openness to the western world delivered great benefits to them yet came at a devasting human price during Mao’s communist rule. In the end, this openness made it possible for Tong to become an American journalist covering China.

Today, Beijing’s increasingly antagonistic relations with Washington and many advanced economies present a great risk to its economy and high-tech development.

Now a co-host of NPR’s "Here and Now," Tong returns to Wallace House to discuss Beijing’s increasing authoritarianism and international aggression and what it signals for its future and that of globalization.

She has reported widely on war and its aftermath for nearly thirty years in the Middle East, the Balkans, and Africa, and has investigated human rights abuses on four continents.

Di Giovanni will give particular emphasis to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, highlighting similarities and differences from other wars she has witnessed first-hand, and underscoring the degree to which the war crimes being committed there are consistent with Putin’s playbook for Chechnya and Syria. Currently co-director and founder of “The Reckoning Project,’ Professor di Giovanni will speak to the progress her organization and others like it are managing to achieve in documenting and memorializing war crimes in real-time, amid devastating violence and terror.

Janine di Giovanni has worked for over 35 years as a human rights reporter and investigator in conflict zones in the Balkans, Africa, and the Middle East. She is a senior fellow at Yale University, the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs, and a Visiting Fellow at the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University. She is a 2019 Guggenheim Fellow in Non-Fiction, and The American Academy of Arts and Letters awarded her their highest prize for non-fiction, the Blake Dodd, for her lifetime body of work. In 2016, she was awarded the Courage in Journalism Award for her distinguished work tracking war criminals most recently in Syria and Iraq, with a focus on ISIS. Di Giovanni is also the author of nine books. including The Morning They Came for Us: Dispatches from Syria which is a collection of war testimonies translated into 30 languages. She has made numerous documentaries and is a frequent analyst on CNN, MSNBC, NPR, and the BBC. Di Giovanni is the recipient of nearly a dozen journalistic awards, including two Amnesty International Awards, and the National Magazine Award, for her work in human rights and war reporting.

Alum Connection with Harlene Ellin: How an LSA Degree unlocked endless career possibilities (November 4, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100138 100138-21799256@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 4, 2022 12:00pm
Location: LSA Building
Organized By: LSA Opportunity Hub

Harlene Ellin identified her enthusiasm for communications early in her career and by activating her network of connections, she quickly found opportunities, both full-time and gigs, in a number of industries including freelance writing for the Chicago Tribune and Times, working as an interior designer, and leading communications strategy for the Women’s March Chicago and CARPLS Legal Aide. In each industry, Harlene used the skills she learned as an LSA student to align her career with causes she cared about and move the needle on issues of importance to her. From journalism to nonprofits to legal, Harlene highlights the flexibility that an LSA degree can offer, and is now coming back to campus to share her hard-earned wisdom and life lessons with current LSA students.

About Harlene:

After graduating with B.A. in English and Political Science from U-M, Harlene pursued a law degree as planned. She quickly learned that life doesn’t follow a linear path, but often includes unexpected twists and turns. After dropping out of law school, Harlene’s shifted her focus, or what she calls career “corkscrews”, to earn a M.A. from Columbia University’s School of Journalism and working as an award-winning news and feature writer for a variety of major news outlets. She also has held various communications-related positions — from public relations assistant to communications director — in both the private and non-profit sectors.

A lifelong lover of art, architecture and design, Harlene returned to school yet again. This time she earned a degree in interior design from Harrington School of Design, while raising her three children. She went on to work for several years as a residential interior designer in the Chicago area. Most recently, Harlene has been highly engaged in political activism, using her varied skill set to advance progressive causes such as abortion access, women’s rights and gun reform.

You should attend this session if you are:
- A U-M undergraduate LSA student
- Interested in journalism, writing, communications, nonprofit work, or interior design
- Exploring multiple career aspirations and interests

What you’ll gain by attending:
- Make a connection with a successful LSA alum ready to support you
- Get ideas for how to build a career when your path is not traditional
- Learn how to build your networking skills

RSVP NOW to be part of the conversation.

The Opportunity Hub aims to deliver inclusive and accessible experiences and welcomes all LSA students to participate.
