The Clements Bookworm: Reading Pleasures: Everyday Black Living in Early America (June 16, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/108108 108108-21818949@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, June 16, 2023 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Author Conversation with Tara Bynum, Assistant Professor of English & African American Studies, The University of Iowa

In the early United States, a Black person committed an act of resistance simply by reading and writing. Yet we overlook that these activities also brought pleasure. Tara A. Bynum tells the compelling stories of four early American writers who expressed feeling good despite living while enslaved or only nominally free. The poet Phillis Wheatley delights in writing letters to a friend. Ministers John Marrant and James Albert Ukawsaw Gronniosaw memorialize their love for God. David Walker’s pamphlets ask Black Americans to claim their victory over slavery. Together, their writings reflect the joyous, if messy, humanity inside each of them. This proof of a thriving interior self in pursuit of good feeling forces us to reckon with the fact that Black lives do matter.

A daring assertion of Black people’s humanity, Reading Pleasures reveals how four Black writers experienced positive feelings and analyzes the ways these emotions served creative, political, and racialized ends.

Born in 1945, artist, educator, and mentor Teresa Tolliver has lived and worked in South Central L.A. for three decades. In 2022, she opened her first one-woman show at the prominent Sebastian Gladstone Gallery. Most recently, her work has been chosen for inclusion as part of L.A.’s Hammer Museum Biennial, which runs concurrently with her exhibition Harbingers of Dreams in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery.

Tolliver refers to her process as “creative recycling”: forging found and thrifted materials, and repurposing them. These frenetic bundles of coils, adornments, wires, and loose ends express the artist’s feelings, perspectives, and everyday way of living.

Earlier works of the artist are on a smaller scale and doll-like. They are intimate, imaginative references to Tolliver’s own girlhood in a world lacking adequate or authentic representations of Black life.

Tolliver’s more recent figurative assemblages are life-size, larger-than-life, looming. They command space and celebrate it. There is an inherent connection between these sculptures and the long-established history of African American yard art, where plants, statuary, and artistic creations communicate themes of personal space, freedom of expression, and dreams of independence. Tolliver’s bold visual choices and material combinations are refusals of outside value judgments and hierarchies.

When visiting artist Teresa Tolliver's home studio, one expects the figures will spring to life, otherworldly. They seem to gather and congregate. There are no distractions from the outside, save the light coming through the window. Through subtle details like molding, furniture, and drawers inspired by Tolliver’s own domestic space, Harbingers of Dreams attempts to capture the resplendent and spiritual nature of such a visit, with the opportunity to sit among the artist’s creations.

Tolliver’s figurative sculptures appear as embodiments of the city of L.A. and its diverse communities and neighborhoods. They are assemblages of disparate influences, esthetics, and materials: prefab, handmade, urban, nostalgic, opulent, functional, garish, and celestial. A visual cacophony of colors, influences, designs, and forms, each figure beckons us towards futures in the making.

Teresa Tolliver is the Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts at the Institute for the Humanities. This event is part of the LSA's fall 2023 Arts & Resistance theme semester.

Harbingers of Dreams (September 25, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/110229 110229-21824591@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 25, 2023 8:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Born in 1945, artist, educator, and mentor Teresa Tolliver has lived and worked in South Central L.A. for three decades. In 2022, she opened her first one-woman show at the prominent Sebastian Gladstone Gallery. Most recently, her work has been chosen for inclusion as part of L.A.’s Hammer Museum Biennial, which runs concurrently with her exhibition Harbingers of Dreams in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery.

Tolliver refers to her process as “creative recycling”: forging found and thrifted materials, and repurposing them. These frenetic bundles of coils, adornments, wires, and loose ends express the artist’s feelings, perspectives, and everyday way of living.

Earlier works of the artist are on a smaller scale and doll-like. They are intimate, imaginative references to Tolliver’s own girlhood in a world lacking adequate or authentic representations of Black life.

Tolliver’s more recent figurative assemblages are life-size, larger-than-life, looming. They command space and celebrate it. There is an inherent connection between these sculptures and the long-established history of African American yard art, where plants, statuary, and artistic creations communicate themes of personal space, freedom of expression, and dreams of independence. Tolliver’s bold visual choices and material combinations are refusals of outside value judgments and hierarchies.

When visiting artist Teresa Tolliver's home studio, one expects the figures will spring to life, otherworldly. They seem to gather and congregate. There are no distractions from the outside, save the light coming through the window. Through subtle details like molding, furniture, and drawers inspired by Tolliver’s own domestic space, Harbingers of Dreams attempts to capture the resplendent and spiritual nature of such a visit, with the opportunity to sit among the artist’s creations.

Tolliver’s figurative sculptures appear as embodiments of the city of L.A. and its diverse communities and neighborhoods. They are assemblages of disparate influences, esthetics, and materials: prefab, handmade, urban, nostalgic, opulent, functional, garish, and celestial. A visual cacophony of colors, influences, designs, and forms, each figure beckons us towards futures in the making.

Teresa Tolliver is the Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts at the Institute for the Humanities. This event is part of the LSA's fall 2023 Arts & Resistance theme semester.

EIHS Lecture: Writing Enslaved Women’s Histories from the Crevices of the Archive (September 28, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/108402 108402-21819544@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 28, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

This presentation offers an intimate portrait of the life of an enslaved woman, known as Abba, who appears multiple times in the diary of a slaveholder in eighteenth-century Jamaica. Abba’s life, like many others chronicled in the diary, is incompletely established in the literature, a pathetic figure overcome by violence, domination, and a demanding labor regime. Shifting analytic gaze and narrative voice to the enslaved, this discussion uncovers enslaved women’s affective creativity and configuration of a life aligned with their maternal and communal values.

Sasha Turner is associate professor of history at The Johns Hopkins University and is the author of Contested Bodies: Pregnancy, Childrearing and Slavery in Jamaica. Professor Turner has received many awards for her research, including from the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians, Southern Association of Women Historians, African American Intellectual History Society, Association of Black Women Historians, and North American Conference on British Studies. She is working on a new project on slavery and emotions.

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

Community Protest, Violence, and Business Support for a Social Activist Cause: Evidence from the Black Lives Matter Movement (September 29, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109979 109979-21823497@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 29, 2023 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

We examine how companies respond to reported violence in protests in their local communities. Building on the community embeddedness literature, we propose that business leaders can interpret protest violence as evidence of social disorder or a valid grievance, and that this interpretation is influenced by the history of the community context in which the violence occurs and where their companies are headquartered. In particular, we examine the history of grievance-validating events and the history of protest violence in local communities, and posit that these factors shape whether companies offer their support for the cause of a protest in which violence is reported. Using a hand-collected dataset on corporate diversity actions following the 2020 Black Lives Matter movement, we find that violence in protests was more likely to elicit supportive corporate diversity actions that align with the movement’s goals when the protests occurred in communities with a history of severe police shootings. We also find that violence in protests was less likely to elicit those actions when the protests occurred in communities with histories of persistent protest violence. We discuss several implications for research on social movements, community embeddedness, stakeholder strategy, and corporate activism.

Snapshots & Straight Talk: Devin Allen in Conversation with Imani Mixon (October 3, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109916 109916-21823227@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 3, 2023 6:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Devin Allen is a self-taught photographer who gained national attention when his photograph of the Baltimore Uprising was published on the cover of *Time* magazine in 2015. His book, *No Justice, No Peace: From the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter*, came out last year and he's the founder of a youth photography educational program called Through Their Eyes.

Imani Mixon was born and raised at the magnetic center of the world’s cultural compass — Detroit, Michigan. She is a long-form storyteller who is inspired by everyday griots who bear witness to their surroundings and report it back out. Equal parts urgent and essential, her multimedia work centers the experiences of Black women and independent artists.

Join us today as Imani Mixon talks to Devin Allen about his life and work, the tension between truth and beauty, capturing community, and maintaining authenticity.

This event is part of LSA's fall 2023 Arts & Resistance theme semester.*

Harbingers of Dreams (October 4, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/110229 110229-21824600@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 4, 2023 8:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Born in 1945, artist, educator, and mentor Teresa Tolliver has lived and worked in South Central L.A. for three decades. In 2022, she opened her first one-woman show at the prominent Sebastian Gladstone Gallery. Most recently, her work has been chosen for inclusion as part of L.A.’s Hammer Museum Biennial, which runs concurrently with her exhibition Harbingers of Dreams in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery.

Tolliver refers to her process as “creative recycling”: forging found and thrifted materials, and repurposing them. These frenetic bundles of coils, adornments, wires, and loose ends express the artist’s feelings, perspectives, and everyday way of living.

Earlier works of the artist are on a smaller scale and doll-like. They are intimate, imaginative references to Tolliver’s own girlhood in a world lacking adequate or authentic representations of Black life.

Tolliver’s more recent figurative assemblages are life-size, larger-than-life, looming. They command space and celebrate it. There is an inherent connection between these sculptures and the long-established history of African American yard art, where plants, statuary, and artistic creations communicate themes of personal space, freedom of expression, and dreams of independence. Tolliver’s bold visual choices and material combinations are refusals of outside value judgments and hierarchies.

When visiting artist Teresa Tolliver's home studio, one expects the figures will spring to life, otherworldly. They seem to gather and congregate. There are no distractions from the outside, save the light coming through the window. Through subtle details like molding, furniture, and drawers inspired by Tolliver’s own domestic space, Harbingers of Dreams attempts to capture the resplendent and spiritual nature of such a visit, with the opportunity to sit among the artist’s creations.

Tolliver’s figurative sculptures appear as embodiments of the city of L.A. and its diverse communities and neighborhoods. They are assemblages of disparate influences, esthetics, and materials: prefab, handmade, urban, nostalgic, opulent, functional, garish, and celestial. A visual cacophony of colors, influences, designs, and forms, each figure beckons us towards futures in the making.

Teresa Tolliver is the Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts at the Institute for the Humanities. This event is part of the LSA's fall 2023 Arts & Resistance theme semester.

Patents-By-Women Creative Invention Workshop (October 5, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/112148 112148-21828514@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 5, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

In this workshop, lead by artist Sarah Buckius, we will use Patents by Women (from the late 1800s to 1940) as starting points to investigate creativity strategies that range from improvisation to blue-sky-brainstorming to problem solving. Investigating problems solved by patents reveals DEI considerations related to their inventors. Inventions can be points of departure for wild, playful, even absurd, ideas that follow a creative path to ideas for real solutions to real problems. Part of Lane Hall’s fall exhibit !!! techn010ffspring!!! on display August 15 through December 15.

Please register for this event through Sessions@Michigan (link provided).

“!!!techn010ffspring!!!” is open for viewing M-F, 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.

This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and co-sponsored by U-M’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender with support from the Arts Council Santa Cruz County.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Nursing

The Health Equity Leadership Series is a speaker series that welcomes leaders in the fields of nursing and healthcare to share their expertise and engage members of the UM community in critical thinking, learning, and dialogue about topics in health equity. Our goal is to expose UM faculty, staff, students, and alumni to some of the most pressing and relevant topics in health equity and nursing. Attendees will be challenged to learn, unlearn, and expand upon their own views while also networking with leaders who have a demonstrated commitment to advancing equity in healthcare.

Join us on October 11th as we welcome Dr. Lucinda Canty. Dr. Canty is a certified nurse-midwife, Associate Professor, and Director of the Seedworks Health Equity in Nursing Program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst Elaine Marieb College of Nursing. She is also the founder and director of Lucinda’s House, created in 2022 to address the racial disparities in maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity. Dr. Canty is a mother, nurse, midwife, researcher, nurse educator, historian, reproductive health justice activist, artist, and poet. She has more than 27 years of experience in providing midwifery care, and she exists in many lanes of nursing to address to improve health outcomes for women of color. Dr. Canty earned her PhD in Nursing from the University of Connecticut School of Nursing in 2020, her MSN in Nurse-Midwifery at Yale University School of Nursing in 1994, and her BSN at the Columbia University School of Nursing in 1987.

In her talk, Dr. Canty will be discussing the current state of maternal health, her research into the experience of Black women who experienced life-threatening complications and how everyone, all healthcare team members, can address racial disparities in maternal health.

This event series is hosted by the Office of Health Equity and Inclusion at the University of Michigan School of Nursing. All UM students, faculty, staff, and alumni are welcome to attend. Please register on UM Sessions and send any questions about the Health Equity Leadership Series to Emily Herzog (epawlik@umich.edu).

D Hutchinson was a doctoral candidate in History that brought joy and intellectual community to every space across the University of Michigan campus. This conference seeks to not only channel the spirit of intellectual kinship D generously shared with us but to also create space for rigorous engagement with D’s central research questions. We have curated a day of learning that invites an interdisciplinary audience of critical thinkers to key questions related to Black queer kinship, history, and possibility.

The conference will bring together D’s beloved family and friends, interdisciplinary scholars, as well as U-M faculty, graduate students, and alumni who, over the course of two days, will reflect on D’s most catalytic research interests as well as their profound scholastic engagement with Black queer kinship.

Black Queer Kinship Histories Conference (October 20, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/113825 113825-21831793@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 20, 2023 10:00am
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

D Hutchinson was a doctoral candidate in History that brought joy and intellectual community to every space across the University of Michigan campus. This conference seeks to not only channel the spirit of intellectual kinship D generously shared with us but to also create space for rigorous engagement with D’s central research questions. We have curated a day of learning that invites an interdisciplinary audience of critical thinkers to key questions related to Black queer kinship, history, and possibility.

The conference will bring together D’s beloved family and friends, interdisciplinary scholars, as well as U-M faculty, graduate students, and alumni who, over the course of two days, will reflect on D’s most catalytic research interests as well as their profound scholastic engagement with Black queer kinship.

Holding Places Exhibition by Satchel Lee (November 3, 2023 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/114011 114011-21832142@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 3, 2023 5:00pm
Location: North Campus Research Complex Building 18
Organized By: North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program

Gallery Hours: Mon-Fri 9 am to 5 pm, or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu

Born and raised in New York City, Satchel Lee is a multi-media artist whose work can best be described as portraiture. Through collaborations with her immediate community, and also using herself as a subject, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.

Lee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

In Lee’s photographic exploration, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.

By reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were, but how she experienced them, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.

Through Lee’s lens, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish, conflict and distress have left their imprints, sometimes visible, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

This talk provides an exploration into the (in)accessibility of gaming technologies, most notably the Xbox Kinect. While the gaming world remarked on the possibilities created when the body becomes the controller, many Black gamers illustrated the centrality of race in deciding who can (and cannot) participate in this technological potential.

Microsoft’s introductory video for the Kinect was met with extreme enthusiasm by gamers. However, the cinematic trailers previewed during my ethnographic observations illustrate the landscape in which the Kinect was built, highlighting the pervasiveness of whiteness at the core of this technology. In the video, we meet a white family using the Kinect and exploring the possibilities therein. Later, we are introduced to a black family, but their few seconds on-screen confirm the process of “adding and stirring,” or incorporating diverse bodies in limited ways, hoping that their screen time will be enough for the diversity checkboxes.

While my observational narratives introduce readers to gaming tech’s limited potential and its inaccessibility, this talk also illustrates the possibilities that appear when inclusivity is at the core of design. Thus this talk will provide an intersectional exploration into (in)accessible gaming technologies, and morphs into a discussion of inclusive design, highlighting various design approaches to increasing accessibility in gaming technologies. I consider how accessibility in technology affects marginalized users’ adoption of technologies.

A Platform Rating System and Vulnerable Workers: Evidence from Field Experiments in Singapore (November 10, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/114388 114388-21832822@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 10, 2023 1:30pm

How to enhance the working conditions and wellbeing of vulnerable workers is a topic of growing importance. This study examines the use of two-sided labor market platforms as a private governance solution to protect vulnerable workers in contexts where the power dynamics between employers and workers are highly unequal. Specifically, we collaborated with a Singapore-based online platform that connects foreign domestic workers with employers (families). In this setting, it is not uncommon for workers to be mistreated by employers via various forms of exploitation and abuse. The collaborating platform was interested in exploring whether introducing a new rating system that allows workers to rate employers could improve this situation for workers. Accordingly, we randomized communication about such a rating system and examined how each side of the platform reacted. We found that employers did not respond positively to the rating system, though their negative reaction was offset if they were nudged to consider the instrumental benefits of the intervention for them. Surprisingly, workers also disliked the idea of the rating system, despite it being intended to protect and empower them. Post-hoc analysis and interviews suggest that the most vulnerable workers were particularly concerned about the employer-rating system. Our paper illustrates that, in settings with large power differentials, platform governance mechanisms intended to help vulnerable workers could have unintended negative consequences. It thus highlights the importance of understanding the nuanced determinants of vulnerable workers’ challenges when considering whether platform governance might improve or exacerbate them.

In Lee’s photographic exploration, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.

By reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were, but how she experienced them, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.

Through Lee’s lens, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish, conflict and distress have left their imprints, sometimes visible, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).

Organized By: Center for Racial Justice

Join the Center for Racial Justice in welcoming Dr. Enobong (Anna) Branch, Associate Professor of Sociology and senior vice president for equity at Rutgers University, to discuss her latest publication, Work in Black & White: Striving for the American Dream.

Register at: https://myumi.ch/4rR26

Co-authored with sociologist Caroline Hanley, Work in Black & White draws on interviews with 80 middle-aged Black and White Americans to explore how their attitudes and perceptions of success are influenced by the stories American culture has told about the American Dream – and about who should have access to it and who should not.

This event is part of our Fall 2023 Racial Foundations of Public Policy speaker series and is open to U-M students, faculty, staff, and community partners.

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.

About this talk:
How might the act of writing Civil War-era memoirs, letters, and diaries have helped Black people negotiate intense personal and community challenges? How did these narrative forms enable or limit an author’s ability to envision a future of “freedom” amid the horror of war? This talk explores the shifting regimes of race and class for
a Black Philadelphian diarist in Union-occupied South Carolina.

About Sandra Gunning:
Sandra Gunning is a 2023-24 Helmut F. Stern Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and professor, English Language and Literature, American Culture, Women’s and Gender Studies, and Afroamerican and African Studies.

“all their rage and malice”: Maria W. Stewart, Audience Resistance, and Nineteenth-Century African American Oratory (November 28, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/114552 114552-21833043@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 28, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Drama and Performance Interest Group

Please join us for a lecture by Dr. Laura Mielke from the University of Kansas.

African American public speakers in the nineteenth century countered the white gaze by sharing observations of audiences, whether majority Black or white, male or female—or “promiscuous.” Orators including Frederick Douglass, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Charles Langston, Henry Highland Garnet, and Sojourner Truth referred to, described, analyzed, and poeticized audiences, often beckoning ideal assemblies when actual ones proved resistant. This lecture will consider such rhetorical uses of audience before focusing on the example of Maria W. Stewart (1803-1879), who bolstered her ethos by linking contemporary responses to her words with scriptural accounts of the prophets’ reception. Approaching Stewart in the broader context of nineteenth-century Black orators’ innovative interpretations of audience allows a rich understanding of her rhetorical legacy.

Born and raised in New York City, Satchel Lee is a multi-media artist whose work can best be described as portraiture. Through collaborations with her immediate community, and also using herself as a subject, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.

Lee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

In Lee’s photographic exploration, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.

By reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were, but how she experienced them, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.

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.

"In this talk, called 'Getting Lost', we will talk about, and maybe actually enter into, the virtues and quandaries of not knowing what the hell we're doing. We will talk some, but we will probably also do some mapping and drawing and building and definitely some dreaming."

Ross Gay is interested in joy.

Ross Gay wants to understand joy.

Ross Gay is curious about joy.

Ross Gay studies joy.

Something like that.

Through collaborations with her immediate community, and also using herself as a subject, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.

Lee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

In Lee’s photographic exploration, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.

By reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were, but how she experienced them, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.

Through Lee’s lens, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish, conflict and distress have left their imprints, sometimes visible, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).

Location: Hill Auditorium
Organized By: Center for Social Solutions

The Center for Social Solutions is proud to partner with the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives to bring you an exclusive screening of The Cost of Inheritance. The CSS co-produced documentary traces the nation’s legacy of systemic inequities to modern-day America, introducing audiences to descendants of enslaved persons and slave owners, profiling their complex intertwined histories, and detailing how their quest to bridge divides galvanized them to seek reparations together. The film follows the long journey of individuals and communities seeking to make reparations a reality on the individual, local, and national levels.

The Cost of Inheritance is a co-production of WQED, The University of Michigan Center for Social Solutions, and presented in partnership with WORLD and American Documentary.

The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Earl Lewis.

In the late 1960s, Muhammad Speaks was the most circulated Black newspaper in America. It was often associated with the fiery images and ominous messaging of its front pages. Far more than a sensationalist tabloid, the paper stood out in Black communities for its grassroots investigative journalism and critique of structural racism. It also served as an important source of information for racial justice organizations, like CORE and the NAACP, as well as those surveilling Black communities such as the FBI and the KKK. (Illustration by Eugene Majied, Muhammad Speaks, April 12, 1968, p. 7.)

Join us for the launch of the second edition of Birthing Justice: Black Women, Pregnancy, and Childbirth (Routledge, 2023). Authored by stakeholders in the field of maternal and infant health for Black birthing communities, this edition offers six new chapters on breastfeeding/chestfeeding and Black infant health; Black birthing during COVID; Black doulas rethinking birthing practices; the recent buildup of a US national movement; childbirth in Zanzibar; and expanding the global movement for sexual and reproductive well-being.

First published in 2016, Birthing Justice is a seminal text for those interested in maternal healthcare, reproductive justice, health equity, and intersectional racial justice, especially in courses on gender studies, Black studies, public health, and training programs for midwives and OB/GYNs.

The book panel will feature new contributors, including TaNefer Camara, Linda Jones, Dr. Sayida Peprah-Wilson, and Alexus Roane (moderator). Our panelists will articulate how their contributions propel the ongoing movements for birthing and reproductive justice.

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's talk engages late-70s/early-80s output of music artist Prince to think about how his sonic, lyrical, and sartorial choices disrupted and challenged prevailing industry structures and parameters that dictated performances of blackness and masculinity in popular music. The project also traces the ways that Prince's music and affect contributed to the author's own relationship to gender and sexuality, and his development as a writer.

Know Thyself: The Importance of Vision in Museum Leadership (February 20, 2024 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/118032 118032-21840377@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 20, 2024 5:30pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: Museum Studies Program

As museums grapple with the complexity of a social, political and economic change in the communities they serve, visionary leadership of these institutions becomes critically important. While there are many approaches to how such leadership is defined and achieved, in its most fundamental terms, it begins with a keen understanding of why an individual has chosen the museum field as their life’s work in the first place. In this talk, Barclay explores the relationship between personal vision and institutional vision and how the two define the most successful leaders working today.

Co-sponsored by UM Museum of Art.

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.

This talk explores contemporary investments in Black liberation through agroecology as a form of afrofuturist practice. It considers how movements toward Black food sovereignty integrate cultural narratives of afrofuturism and how these might come to shape understandings of traditional African American foodways.

Jessica Walker is a 2023-24 Hunting Family Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and an Assistant Professor of Afroamerican & African Studies and American Culture.

The past few years have witnessed energetic and innovative forms of activism among Asian Americans contending against rising anti-Asian racism and violence. What does contemporary Asian American activism look like, especially in the context of movements for racial justice, the Covid-19 pandemic, heightened U.S.-China tensions, and wars in the Middle East and beyond? In this panel, Asian American leaders working for change on several issues—gun violence, reproductive justice, ethnic studies education, reproductive justice, voting rights, and more—talk about the principles and practices of contemporary Asian American activism.

Panelists:

•Andrea Chu, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Chicago
•Regina Tsang, Rising Voices
•Dr. Tsu-Yin Wu, Center for Health Disparities Innovation and Studies

Moderated by Melissa Borja, American Culture.

About the series:
(Re)Emergence: Asian American Histories and Futures, a collaboration between Asian American studies scholars and the Institute for the Humanities, is a series of events committed to interdisciplinary exploration and community engagement. The series brings together filmmakers, creative writers, scholars, and activists to think through diverse Asian American histories and how we might learn from them to shape radically different futures.

Understanding Working Women’s Lives: An Exploration of Postpartum Allyship in Organizations (March 22, 2024 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/116544 116544-21837560@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 22, 2024 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Many women experience psychological and emotional challenges during their transition to becoming a working mother, making the reentry process after parental leave crucial for helping women thrive at work and at home. Within this talk, I will provide an overview of past scholarship I have conducted in this area on breastfeeding in the workplace and postpartum depression. Then, I will discuss our research on postpartum allyship—specific behaviors that coworkers and managers can enact to support and advocate for working mothers during their reentry process postpartum. To do so, I will highlight findings from three complementary studies. In Study 1, we adopted a qualitative approach to gain insight into the forms of allyship working mothers found valuable. We then build upon these findings in Study 2 by developing and validating a scale of postpartum allyship. Finally, in Study 3, integrating emergent themes from our qualitative data with tenets of the social cognitive model of career self-management (Lent & Brown, 2013, 2019), we use our newly-developed measure in a time-lagged study focused on the cognitive, affective, and behavioral impact of postpartum mothers’ experiences of allyship. Results indicated that postpartum allyship experiences bolster work-motherhood self- efficacy and reduce guilt which, in turn, yield important implications for working mothers’ turnover intentions, work-family capital, and postpartum depressive symptoms. Across these papers, I aim to bring theoretical and practical attention to how to best support working mothers.

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.

This talk theorizes nation-states as bundles of command powers that are key to racial capitalist operability. It rethinks borders, citizenship, international law, war-making, and other state processes as ways racial capitalism operates by enacting “socially good” violence on people and places treated as killable. The intention of this operational account is not to make racial capitalism seem implacable, but to show that its doings are always threatened by protocols for making, continuing, and defending specific, grounded living (Black, Indigenous, migrant, and more). By refusing killability and authorizing mutual survival, such “other doings” evade and break state-capital violence circuits. Though pushed below or outside of ‘politics’, as conventionally understood, such “doings together” are powerful, transformative forces.

Jodi Melamed is a Normal Freehling Visiting Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and a Professor of English and Race, Ethnic, and Indigenous Studies at Marquette University.

EIHS Public Lecture: “Species Insurance”: Harriet Tubman, Environmental Storytelling, and Historical Modes of Survival (April 11, 2024 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/119386 119386-21842656@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 11, 2024 6:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

Format: Lecture followed by book signing with light refreshments. Literati Bookstore will sell copies of Professor Miles's book.

Abstract: Borrowing the words of Octavia E. Butler for theoretical inspiration, this talk engages in a thought experiment. What if we were to take Harriet Tubman, one of the most famous historical figures in the US, and center her in an environmental story? What would we learn about Tubman herself? What would we notice about Black women in the nineteenth century and the role of place and ecology in their survival? And what connections might we draw between Black women’s environmental thinking in the multi-temporal past and the greatest challenges facing our species in the murky present and future?

Biography: Tiya Miles is the author of seven books, including four prize-winning studies on the history of American slavery. Her works include the National Book Award winner, All That She Carried, The Journey of Ashley’s Sack, a Black Family Keepsake; Wild Girls: How the Outdoors Shaped the Women Who Challenged a Nation; The Dawn of Detroit: A Chronicle of Slavery and Freedom in the City of the Straits, and Ties That Bind: The Story of an Afro-Cherokee Family in Slavery and Freedom, among others. She has written prize-winning historical fiction: The Cherokee Rose: A Novel of Gardens and Ghosts, shared her travels to "haunted" historic sites of slavery in a published lecture series, and written various articles and op-eds (in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Atlantic, CNN.com, and more) on women’s history, history and memory, Black public culture, and Black and Indigenous interrelated experience. Miles’s forthcoming book, Night Flyer: Harriet Tubman and the Faith Dreams of a Free People, will be published by Penguin Press in June. Miles taught on the faculty of the University of Michigan for sixteen years and is currently the Michael Garvey Professor of History at Harvard University. Her work has been supported by the MacArthur Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

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