7:00 - 8:30 pm
at the Keene Theater in the U-M Residential College

Free and Open to the Public

A collaboration of Detroit Public Theatre & the Prison Creative Arts Project

More about the film:
MTV Documentary Films Presents *Angola Do You Hear Us? Voices From a Plantation Prison* (formerly known as A Peculiar Silence) tells the story of playwright Liza Jessie Peterson, whose acclaimed play *The Peculiar Patriot* was shut down mid-performance at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly known as Angola Prison.

Directed and edited by Cinque Northern, produced by Catherine Gund, featuring Liza Jessie Peterson and Norris Henderson (Peterson and Henderson are also Executive Producers), the film examines how one woman's play challenged the country's largest plantation prison and impacted the incarcerated men long after the record of her visit was erased by the institution's administration.

More about the play:
LaQuanda ‘Betsy’ Ross knows a lot about the New York State Penitentiary system. Her regular visits to loved ones in various upstate institutions have made her quite the expert and a self-proclaimed “Peculiar Patriot." In-between neighborhood updates and gossip, Betsy educates herself and the audience on the systemic inequity within America’s prison complex system and its effect on those behind bars, as well as their family and friends.

Written and performed by the incomparable Liza Jessie Peterson, The Peculiar Patriot was inspired by her comprehensive and extensive work in prisons, including on Riker’s Island. Peterson’s tour de force solo piece is an important, funny, and profound investigative look into America’s criminal justice system.

ChatGPT and Writing Assignments (February 16, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104492 104492-21809447@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 16, 2023 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

The artificial intelligence app ChatGPT has been the subject of multiple articles, blogs, and conversation in the academy in recent weeks. Instructors across the country have been grappling with the implications of this technology for their teaching, especially their use of writing assignments. This session will begin with a brief overview of ChatGPT, its functionality and limitations, as well as ways to discourage its use for plagiarism and initial thoughts about how it might be used productively for writing assignments. Participants will then have the option of choosing one of three facilitated roundtable discussions: 1) hands-on exploration of ChatGPT functionality, 2) creating assignment prompts less susceptible to use of ChatGPT, 3) brainstorming ways to leverage ChatGPT in courses. To make the most of this session, participants are encouraged to bring a sample assignment prompt to focus their discussion and reflection.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Comparative Literature

In this virtual panel and discussion, Yomaira Figueroa-Vásquez (Michigan State University) and Ryan James Kernan (Rutgers University) will share their groundbreaking research on the literary and cultural translation of Blackness before engaging in a discussion moderated by Aaron Coleman, U-M’s Postdoctoral Fellow in Critical Translation Studies.
Dr. Figueroa-Vásquez’s and Dr. Kernan’s transnational and Afrodiasporic scholarship transforms our understanding of Blackness at regional, national, and international scales. Their reframing of Afrolatinx and Black USAmerican literature and culture shines new light on the international and Afrodiasporic dimensions of poets like the U.S. Midwest’s Langston Hughes while envisioning new modes of Afrodiasporic community through digital and archival innovation.

Write-Together sessions provide structure, accountability, and support for graduate writers working on writing at any stage, from papers to theses to journal articles to dissertations and more. For each of these sessions, participants can meet in-person or access a Zoom link and a shared Google document that will serve as a communal virtual space. Students will be invited to post pre-writing goals and post-writing reflections in the document. Writers can also schedule a 10-minute Zoom meeting with Sweetland faculty during each session to discuss writing questions. We will also provide weekly writing strategies to habituate students to best writing practices.

Chapter Abstract:
In this essay, I read John Addington Symonds' Memoirs and personal correspondences as textual repositories of queer anxiety. I focus on Symonds' recollections about living in fear of being discovered and publicly humiliated, and I argue that queer anxiety is a structure of feeling constitutive of the homosexual closet. Examining his correspondence with Havelock Ellis and Richard von Krafft-Ebing, I reveal that Symonds theorized his affective life and developed a notion of the cultural origins of queer anxiety. With this, he sought to challenge the psychiatric definitions of homosexual neurosis as a congenital condition and dispute the scientific theories of homosexuality as illness. His autotheoretical contributions, however, were dismissed by sexologists as subjective inferences inadmissible to scientific epistemologies: as the object of the medical gaze, the anxious homosexual could speak, but he could never have the last word.

Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

How do I turn this never-ending tangle of literature into a neat, polished review? In this interactive workshop, we'll cover laying the foundation for your scholarly literature review and then taking that first critical step towards composition. We'll crowdsource tips for generating a source list, organizing it as you go, and starting to extract themes and ideas for section headings from your reading library. We'll also cover the basics of structure to reduce the barrier for writing your first sections. Whether you're halfway through or just starting out, you'll have a chance to take the next step on organizing, defining your purpose, or revising your argumentation. This presentation will focus on reviews in the sciences, but concepts are generalizable to all literature reviews.

Hear, Here: Humanities Up Close (April 4, 2023 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/98546 98546-21796902@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 4, 2023 12:30pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

With the “Hear, Here” series, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session. Today: “The Problem of the Refugee Writer” with Hadji Bakara.

About the talk:
In the first decades of the twentieth-century a new historical figure appeared: the refugee writer. In this talk, I tell the story of these displaced and stateless writers through the archives of an organization that tried to help them: The P.E.N Refugee Writers Fund. The story of this short-lived and experimental organization, I argue, is also the story of how writing became a human right in the wake of the catastrophes of mid-century.

About Hadji Bakara:
Hadji Bakara is a 2022-23 Helmut F. Stern Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and assistant professor of English language and literature.

Location: Detroit Observatory
Organized By: Bentley Historical Library

When you think of the University of Michigan, do you think of poetry? You should, because U-M has been home to some of the great poets of the 20th century -- and now the 21st as well. Robert Frost, Theodore Roethke, Robert Hayden, W.H. Auden, Jane Kenyon, and Frank O'Hara have all been affiliated with Michigan. This great tradition started in the 1920s, when Frost served as the University's first Fellow in Creative Arts. And it is a tradition continued by contemporary poets who studied at U-M and who are now at the center of conversations about American poetry -- individuals such as Victoria Chang, francine j. harris, and Jaswinder Bolina. Join us to learn from Cody Walker about U-M's rich history of poetic writing.

Cody Walker directs the University of Michigan English Department’s Undergraduate Program in Creative Writing. He also directs the Bear River Writers’ Conference in Northern Michigan. The author of three poetry collections, including The Self-Styled No-Child (Waywiser Press, 2016), his work appears in The Yale Review, The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, and two editions of The Best American Poetry series. His awards include the James Boatwright III Prize for Poetry from Shenandoah, the Howard Mosher Short Fiction Prize from Hunger Mountain, and residency fellowships from the University of Arizona Poetry Center, the Amy Clampitt Fund, and the Sewanee Writers’ Conference. A longtime writer-in-residence in Seattle Arts & Lectures’ Writers in the Schools program, he was elected Seattle Poet Populist in 2007. In 2013 he coedited Alive at the Center: Contemporary Poems from the Pacific Northwest (Ooligan Press). At the University of Michigan, he’s been a UMS-Mellon Fellow and a Michigan Roads Scholar. This summer he’ll be a fellow at the Institute for the Humanities.

From the celebrated and award-winning composer Dave Malloy comes Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, an electropop opera based on a scandalous slice of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace. Young and impulsive, Natasha Rostova arrives in Moscow to await the return of her fiancé from the front lines. When she falls under the spell of the roguish Anatole, it is up to Pierre, a family friend in the middle of an existential crisis, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation. Following a critically exalted premiere at Ars Nova in New York City, a subsequent Off-Broadway transfer, and an acclaimed run on Broadway, this award-winning musical expands the possibilities for the genre with its daring score and bold storytelling.

In this online workshop, the experts from ScholarSpace will introduce you to lesser-known features of Microsoft Word that will help you ensure consistent formatting through the document, as well as manage margin size, insert captions, and create an automatic Table of Contents, List of Figures, or a List of Tables.

Location: North Quad
Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This new, four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.

What’s Reading Got to Do with It?: Reading to Support Writing in Graduate School

This workshop will explore how you can read strategically to support your work as a writer in your academic field and discipline.

What is the relationship between reading and writing for academic purposes? How can we read to support our work as writers in our specific academic fields and disciplines? In this 50-minute Rackham/Sweetland workshop, you will discover answers to these questions through guided reflection on your current reading (and writing) practices, as well as a hands-on introduction to specific reading strategies that support writing. You'll also leave with additional resources and ideas for how to continue to explore and develop the reading-writing connection in your own academic work.

Presenter: Megan Behrend, Sweetland Center for Writing

In this online workshop, the experts from ScholarSpace will introduce you to lesser-known features of Microsoft Word that will help you ensure consistent formatting through the document, as well as manage margin size, insert captions, and create an automatic Table of Contents, List of Figures, or a List of Tables. You’ll also learn about support resources and people who are available to answer your questions when you run into problems.

Zell Visiting Writers Series readings and Q&As are free and open to the public and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (in UMMA's Stern Auditorium). Seats are offered on a first come, first served basis; please arrive early to secure a spot.

Sidik Fofana is a graduate of NYU’s MFA program and a public school teacher in Brooklyn. His work has appeared in the *Sewanee Review* and *Granta*. He was also named a fellow at the Center for Fiction in 2018. His debut short story collection was published by Scribner in August 2022.

Set in a Harlem high rise, *Stories from the Tenants Downstairs* is a stunning debut about a tight-knit cast of characters grappling with their own personal challenges while the forces of gentrification threaten to upend life as they know it.

Like Gloria Naylor’s *The Women of Brewster Place* and Lin Manuel Miranda’s *In the Heights*, Sidik Fofana’s electrifying collection of eight interconnected stories showcases the strengths, struggles, and hopes of one residential community in a powerful storytelling experience.

Each short story follows a tenant in the Banneker Homes, a low-income high rise in Harlem where gentrification weighs on everyone’s mind. There is Swan in apartment 6B, whose excitement about his friend’s release from prison jeopardizes the life he’s been trying to lead. Mimi, in apartment 14D, who hustles to raise the child she had with Swan, waitressing at Roscoe’s and doing hair on the side. And Quanneisha B. Miles, a former gymnast with a good education who wishes she could leave Banneker for good, but can’t seem to escape the building’s gravitational pull. We root for these characters and more as they weave in and out of each other’s lives, endeavoring to escape from their pasts and blaze new paths forward for themselves and the people they love.

For any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure this event is inclusive to you.The building, event space, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. Diaper changing tables are available in nearby restrooms. Gender-inclusive restrooms are available on the second floor of the Museum, accessible via the stairs, or in nearby Hatcher Graduate Library (Floors 3, 4, 5, and 6). The Hatcher Library also offers a reflection room (4th Floor South Stacks), and a lactation room (Room 13W, an anteroom to the basement women's staff restroom, or Room 108B, an anteroom of the first floor women's restroom). ASL interpreters and CART services at in-person events are available upon request; please email kimjulie@umich.edu at least two weeks prior to the event, whenever possible, to allow time to arrange services.

U-M employees with a U-M parking permit may use the Church Street Parking Structure (525 Church St., Ann Arbor) or the Thompson Parking Structure (500 Thompson St., Ann Arbor). There is limited metered street parking on State Street and South University Avenue. The Forest Avenue Public Parking Structure (650 South Forest Ave., Ann Arbor) is five blocks away, and the parking rate is $1.20 per hour. All of these options include parking spots for individuals with disabilities.

Location: North Quad
Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This new, four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.

Who Are You Talking To?: Identifying and Responding To Your Interlocutors

This workshop will address how reading skills and writing conventions allow you to ethically represent others’ knowledge and support your arguments.

Interlocutors are those you engage with in your research and writing; they may appear (re: be valued) differently across disciplines. This workshop will address how reading skills and writing conventions allow you to ethically represent others’ knowledge and support your arguments. Participants will work with peers to talk through rhetorical decisions scholars make when identifying and responding to interlocutors and set goals of how to use the workshop experience in their own graduate writing careers.

Presenter: April Conway, Sweetland Center for Writing

The Peer Writing Consultant Program is an excellent way for undergraduate students from across the University to get involved in consulting with their peers about written communication. Becoming a writing consultant gives you the opportunity to work with others on their writing, enjoying conversations about interesting topics, helping to solve writing challenges, and supporting effective writing processes. Once writing consultants enter the job market or go to graduate school, many of them find that the program has given them important experience relating to people, working collaboratively, and engaging in rigorous thinking.

Students who have completed a first-year college writing course are encouraged to apply.

Learn more about the program from current Peer Writing Consultants and Peer Writing Program faculty and get any questions about the application process or working in our Writing Centers answered!

More info on the application process is available at https://lsa.umich.edu/sweetland/undergraduates/peer-writing-consultant-program.html as well as the Zoom link to the Info Session if you are viewing this from our website.

The Punctum & the Phosphorus, the Torque & the Haunt: In Search of The Poem (or Story) We Can't Shake Off - EVENT CANCELED (October 20, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/108981 108981-21820679@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 20, 2023 10:00am

THIS EVENT IS CANCELED

Zell Visiting Writers Series craft lectures are free and open to the public, and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (in The Robert Hayden Conference Room, Angell Hall #3222). Seats are offered on a first come, first served basis; please arrive early to secure a spot. Please contact kimjulie@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.

We will examine a selection of poems and other literary artworks (from the dead and the living), on the lookout for the ‘punctum’ and the ‘phosphorus’, the 'torque' and the 'haunt'—considering together the words, phrases, musical moves and formal choices that make the work viscerally felt and indelible, impossible to forget or shrug off.
The lenses and touchstones of our discussion will be the punctum vs. studium concept, formulated by Roland Barthes in Camera Lucida, and the William Carlos Williams quote from In the American Grain:
It has been my wish to draw from every source one thing,
the strange phosphorus of the life. . .

For any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you. The building, event space, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. A lactation room (Angell Hall #5209), reflection room (Haven Hall #1506), and gender-inclusive restroom (Angell Hall 5th floor) are available on site.

Location: North Quad
Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This new, four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.

How to Make Revision Count: Revising Practices for Graduate Students

This workshop will introduce new graduate students to revising practices to help them thrive in their academic writing.

The most critical phase in the writing process is also the most mysterious and untaught. Revision is especially challenging for first-year graduate writers learning to write extended arguments for academic purposes. What do academic writers do when they revise? How does an early draft become a polished, publishable article? This workshop will demystify the role of revision in academic writing – to advance and refine our good ideas! – and provide strategies to help you build quality revision into your writing practice. You will expand your revising practices and elevate your writing game.

Presenter: Louis Cicciarelli, Sweetland Center for Writing

How Do You Conceptualize Your Time in Graduate School?: From the Physical to the Philosophical

This workshop will address time management strategies, and effective habits and motivation for early graduate school success.

Time management and productivity may not seem like an exciting topic, but harnessing concrete tactics and strategies for how to maintain autonomy and agency over your own schedule is a crucial skill in graduate school. You will find yourself juggling multiple, and often competing, priorities– and many of them have to do with writing… lots, and lots of writing! This 50-minute Rackham/Sweetland workshop will address time management strategies across scales (from pomodoros to physical planners to semester and year-long planning), as well as considerations regarding habits and motivation. The earlier you find what works for you, the more you can tailor your schedule to fit your life instead of the other way around!

Every worthwhile artistic endeavor contains, at its heart, a cosmic impossibility -- a paradox that affects the conception of the piece itself, a reason the piece cannot actually exist as envisioned. Believe it or not, this is a good thing. We'll talk about how to deal with the impossible, and why.

In this online workshop, the experts from ScholarSpace will introduce you to lesser-known features of Microsoft Word that will help you ensure consistent formatting through the document, as well as manage margin size, insert captions, and create an automatic Table of Contents, List of Figures, or a List of Tables. You’ll also learn about support resources and people who are available to answer your questions when you run into problems.

Seats are offered on a first come, first served basis; please arrive early to secure a spot. Please contact kimjulie@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.

*What did I know, what did I know*
*of love’s austere and lonely offices?*

This craft talk will examine how Robert Hayden constructed this unforgettable poem, “Those Winter Sundays,” and how the poem patterns language not simply to express but to enact its content. This craft talk will also examine how patterned language—when exacted very carefully and cleverly—can imagine for survivors of private and public trauma new ways to speak truth to power through form, ambiguity, and lyric indirection.

Annual Borka Tomljenović Lecture. Alternative Narratives: Social Knowledge of Literature in the Post-Yugoslav Cultural Field (November 28, 2023 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/113028 113028-21829939@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 28, 2023 5:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

This year’s Annual Borka Tomljenović Lecture will address Yugoslav socialism in contemporary literature and culture after the collapse of socialism in the broader cultural, political and economic context of Eastern Europe. Unlike so-called ‘’peaceful revolutions’’ in the rest of Eastern Europe, the collapse of socialism and the disintegration of Yugoslavia in a tragic war influenced the course of a specific local transition where change of the social system went hand in hand with a thorough and rapid metamorphosis of a new collective identity. A particular ideological treatment of Yugoslavia and socialism in institutional memory and mainstream political discourse continues to hold a prominent place in the process of building a new identity. Parallel to this process, a large number of literary and cultural texts articulated specific narratives about the recent socialist past. In this talk, Maša Kolanović will provide insight into various figures and modes of literary and cultural articulations of the specific politics of remembrance, producing affective tones of nostalgia, melancholy, humor, trauma, as well as irony and parody, which are characteristic of the works of Dubravka Ugrešić, Miljenko Jergović, Ratko Cvetnić, Lana Bastašić and others.

Maša Kolanović is an associate professor in the Department of Croatian Studies at the University of Zagreb and a multi-genre writer. Her works include the poetry collection *Pijavice za usamljene (Leeches for the Lonely)*, the novel *Sloboština Barbie (Underground Barbie)*, the prose poem *Jamerika*, and the short story collection *Poštovani kukci i druge jezive price (Dear Pests and Other Chilling Stories)*. Following her monograph *Udarnik! Buntovnik? Potrošač…Hrvatski roman i popularna kultura od socijalizma do tranzicije (Strike! Rebel? Consumer…The Croatian Novel from Socialism to Transition)*, which she completed in 2011 for her PhD in Croatian language and comparative literature, she published articles on literature and popular culture. She co-edited the volumes: *Komparativni postsocijalizam: slavenska iskustva (Comparative Post-socialism: Slavic Experiences)*; *The Cultural Life of Capitalism in Yugoslavia* with D. Jelača and D. Lugarić; *Povijest, tekst, kontekst (History, Text, Context)* with L. Molvarec; and *Ekonomija i književnost (Economy and Literature)* with L. Molvarec and M. Hameršak. Her short story collection *Dear Pests and Other Chilling Stories* received the 2020 European Prize for Literature, the Pula Book Fair Audience Award, and the Vladimir Nazor Prize for Literature. Maša Kolanović is a member of Croatian Academy of Science and Art.

Writing Literature Reviews (November 30, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/112391 112391-21828864@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 30, 2023 3:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

How do I turn this never-ending tangle of literature into a neat, polished review? In this interactive workshop, we'll cover laying the foundation for your scholarly literature review and then taking that first critical step towards composition. We'll crowdsource tips for generating a source list, organizing it as you go, and starting to extract themes and ideas for section headings from your reading library. We'll also cover the basics of structure to reduce the barrier for writing your first sections. Whether you're halfway through or just starting out, you'll have a chance to take the next step on organizing, defining your purpose, or revising your argumentation. This presentation will focus on reviews in the sciences, but concepts are generalizable to all literature reviews.

Presented by Jimmy Brancho, Sweetland Center for Writing

Rackham / Sweetland Workshops, co-sponsored by the Rackham Graduate School, cover a host of topics designed to help graduate students in various aspects of writing.

You are an expert in your field, but you may not be an expert in Rackham’s rules around properly formatting your dissertation or thesis. This 50-minute online workshop will save you hours of time in creating your dissertation — and in any other writing you do with Microsoft Word.

In this online workshop, the experts from ScholarSpace will introduce you to lesser-known features of Microsoft Word that will help you ensure consistent formatting through the document, as well as manage margin size, insert captions, and create an automatic Table of Contents, List of Figures, or a List of Tables. You’ll also learn about support resources and people who are available to answer your questions when you run into problems.

Writer to Writer with Public School Poetry (December 5, 2023 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/115358 115358-21834566@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 5, 2023 6:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

Writer to Writer offers rare glimpse into the writing that professors do outside the classroom and how they handle the same challenges student writers face. Hosted by Shelley Manis from U-M LSA’s Sweetland Center for Writing.

This December, we welcome Public School Poetry with Ellen Stone, Scott Beal, David Ward, and Julie Babcock!

Public School Poetry was created by a group of poets educated through the public school system. We hope this online journal embodies the strangeness of public school and our colliding desires to learn, break rules, see what others are doing, and create new and better spaces. Despite the name, we are not a student-specific publication; our contributors come from all backgrounds and life stages.

This journal is a leap of faith and an ongoing experiment. Each contributor writes “a five-paragraph essay” on another contributor’s poems that we randomly and anonymously assign. Poems and essays appear together in each issue.

https://www.publicschoolpoetry.com/

Ellen Stone comes from a family of public-school teachers in Pennsylvania and spent her career teaching public school before retiring after 20+ years at Community High School in Ann Arbor.

Scott Beal is a product of public schools in Oklahoma, Tennessee, Ohio, and Michigan, and currently directs the Lloyd Scholars for Writing and the Arts program at the University of Michigan.

David Ward has been a public school student at Sedona Red Rock High School, Arizona State University, and the University of Michigan, where he now teaches writing.

Julie Babcock is a poet and a fiction writer who sprang from public school systems in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and now teaches at University of Michigan.

Register to attend on Zoom: https://myumi.ch/DwEr8

This roundtable conversation considers what it means to write, make, and do (or not!) on crip time. Universities and other institutions typically represent disability through the logics of cost-burden models, which position disability as antithetical to collegiality, punctuality, responsibility, and often, life. How might we work against, crip, and ultimately dismantle these systems? How might bed rest, deferrals, stims, stutters, and other embodyminded insights help us generate tactics for survival? How might we think about digital activism and disabled collectivity online in ways that provide us respite rather than distress? How might we collectively reimagine the temporalities of labor, care, and composing?

This event will be held on Zoom. We want to make our events accessible to all participants. CART services will be provided. If you anticipate needing accommodations to participate, please email Giselle Mills at gimills@umich.edu.
