Limb synovial joint development and morphogenesis: progress and mysteries (December 1, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/101471 101471-21801382@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 1, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Dental & W.K. Kellogg Institute
Organized By: Office of Research School of Dentistry

Studies in my lab focus on mechanisms regulating limb synovial joint formation, skeletal development and growth plate function and involving signaling proteins, cell surface receptors and co-receptors and transcription factors. Data and insights from these basic research projects are used to decipher the pathogenesis of congenital pediatric musculoskeletal disorders and identify possible therapeutic remedies.
Disorders under active study at present are Hereditary Multiple Exostoses (HME), Achondroplasia and Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP). This basic-translational-clinical strategy is proving fruitful as one drug identified in my lab for the treatment of FOP was recently approved in Canada, with approval in the US expected soon. I am the Director of Pediatric Orthopaedic Research here at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and have served in this position since 2011. I am also the Associate Director of the Penn Center for Musculoskeletal Diseases (PCMD) at U Penn that has over 15 faculty members and maintains 3 Research Cores, serving a large biomedical research community at our two adjacent Institutions and surrounding Universities and Research Institutes.

2021 Profile of Arts Incubators – A Growing Phenomena in the Universe of Cultural Organizations (December 8, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99880 99880-21799196@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 8, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research

What is an “Arts Incubator” and what does one do? Join us on December 8 at 1pm ET for an exciting presentation featuring Dr. Stan Renard, the director of The Arts Incubation Research (AIR) Lab, at the University of Texas at San Antonio. The AIR Lab is funded, in part, by a NEA Research Labaward from the National Endowment for the Arts. Dr. Renard will present findings from a national survey of programs designed to provide business and entrepreneurial supportfor artists. The survey was fielded by AIR Lab and Americans for the Arts in fall 2021 and contains information about the participating art incubators’ programs, financials, and operating procedures. It also focused on the program delivery implications in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as broader issues of access and equity. The AIR Lab is an example of a project funded through the NEA Research Awards programs resulting in data usable by secondary analysts.

This webinar is free and open to the public. The webinar will be recorded and the recording will be sent to all registrants and added to the ICPSR YouTube Channel.


Presenter:

Dr. Stan Renard is Associate Dean and Associate Professor and Coordinator of the Arts Management and Entrepreneurship programs in the Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts at the University of Oklahoma. Renard is also the Director of the Arts Incubation Research Lab (AIR Lab), a National Endowment for the Arts Research Lab. The lab’s research team studies the intersection of the arts, entrepreneurship, and innovation at its incubation stage with a research agenda that seeks to understand the economic potential of artists as non-conventional entrepreneurs and the impact of the digital divide upon arts-based entrepreneurs. In addition, he is a touring and recording artist, the founder and arranger of the Grammy-nominated Bohemian Quartet, and the Executive Director of the Monteux School & Music Festival in Hancock, ME. Renard holds a doctorate in musical arts (DMA) from the University of Connecticut as well as a doctorate in international business (DBA) from Southern New Hampshire University. Previously held collegiate appointments include the University of Texas at San Antonio; Colby College; the University of Massachusetts, Amherst; the University of Connecticut, Storrs; Providence College; Eastern Connecticut State University; Southern New Hampshire University; and the University of California at San Diego. Dr. Renard is a member of the Yamaha Master Educator Collective, Music Business & Entrepreneurship Group.

Unmasked: A History of the Individualization of Risk (December 9, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97840 97840-21795220@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 9, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

The notion that risk is appropriately understood – and managed – in terms of each individual’s own personal calculus is so familiar an idea in contemporary society that it appears to almost not require any explanation. However, closer inspection of the problem reveals an important historical irony, as for much of the twentieth century risk was understood to be an intrinsically collective affair. In this paper, I explore how risk was transformed from being understood as a property of groups to being understood as a property of individuals by examining the history of public and private insurance in the United States. Rather than locate transformations in how risk
is managed in our society in the “great risk shift” occurring with the emergence of neoliberalism (Hacker 2006), I suggest that the individualization of risk in recent decades is only the latest instantiation of a recurrent conflict between security and freedom that has marked the evolution of capitalism. Seen from this longer historical perspective, the “personal responsibility revolution” appears not as the handiwork of neoliberal policymakers, but rather as the unintended result of movements that sought to gain access to markets for risk for those excluded from them.

Kaleidoscope conversations will provide an opportunity for students to come together for a conversation with their peers and get the chance to dive beneath the surface, lean into vulnerability, and to explore the struggles and stories that make up our lives. In these conversations we will explore how the identities you hold shape your experience of the world and your understanding of social issues.

The Plastic Bag Store (January 17, 2023 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103461 103461-21807238@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 17, 2023 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

This custom-built public art installation and immersive film experience uses humor, craft, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics.

Shelves are stocked with thousands of original grocery items meticulously sculpted by hand, all made from discarded single-use plastics organically harvested from streets and garbage dumps. Several times a day, the store transforms into an immersive, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.

Family Secrets: Uncovering Identity in 19th-Century America (January 20, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/103055 103055-21805811@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 20, 2023 10:00am
Location: William Clements Library
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

This student-curated exhibit focuses on the theme of secrecy and how it has shaped our inquiry into how the family, as an institution and an ideal at the heart of debates about American identity and national belonging, has changed over time.

The materials gathered here represented various ways in which cultural concepts of family evolved in both public and private ways.

Please enter through the North Entrance (glass vestibule) that faces the Hatcher Graduate Library.

Curated by: Grace Argo and the Students of History 195, Fall 2022, with Maggie Vanderfold and Julie Fremuth at the Clements Library.

Accounting For The Unaccounted: Examining Workplace Accountabilities for Underrepresented and Understudied Employees (January 20, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103238 103238-21806523@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 20, 2023 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

In this research, we examine employee populations that, while significant in their size and scope, have failed to receive significant attention from either accountability researchers or organizational scholars, overall (Hall, Hickox, Kuan, & Sung, 2017). These populations include minority workers, employees with disabilities, immigrants, contingent and other precarious workers, and low-income workers. The current body of accountability literature rests heavily on assumptions and data based on middle class, Western, Caucasian white-collar workers and college students (Norenzayan & Heine, 2005; Hall et al., 2017). While basic elements of accountability should exist across all employees, there are aspects of accountability that traditionally marginalized employees face which have not received the appropriate attention from researchers (Okazaki & Sue, 2016). All employees operate within a web of accountabilities (Frink & Klimoski, 1998). Workers must balance multiple and often competing accountabilities (Hall, Bowen, Ferris, Royle, & Fitzgibbons, 2007). Yet, research suggests that minority, female, immigrant, low-income, precarious workers (e.g., gig or contingent workers) or otherwise traditionally marginalized groups may have additional accountabilities that they must balance (O’Donnell, 2020). Thus, our research seeks to examine the following: 1. how do minoritized/marginalized identities prioritize their accountabilities and 2. what can employers do to assist these workers in balancing their additional accountabilities.

This student-curated exhibit focuses on the theme of secrecy and how it has shaped our inquiry into how the family, as an institution and an ideal at the heart of debates about American identity and national belonging, has changed over time.

The materials gathered here represented various ways in which cultural concepts of family evolved in both public and private ways.

Please enter through the North Entrance (glass vestibule) that faces the Hatcher Graduate Library.

Curated by: Grace Argo and the Students of History 195, Fall 2022, with Maggie Vanderfold and Julie Fremuth at the Clements Library.

The Queer World Conversations (January 25, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/103266 103266-21806694@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 25, 2023 10:00am
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Spectrum Center

See other Spectrum Center events: https://bit.ly/LGBTQ-UM-Events

We'd like to invite you to a new event series this semester, the Queer World Conversations! These will be weekly discussions on a variety of topics, but all of them will be discussed with a queer lens. We'll bring the topic, you bring the discussion! Everyone is welcome to join the Conversations, and the voices of those most impacted by the week's topic will be prioritized.

Topics will be announced the week before on our social medias and on the event pages. Registration is not required, nor is consistent attendance. Come when you want, bring your friends, and let's have a Conversation!

Upcoming topics:
4/12/23 - Weight Inclusivity

There are a lot of social ideas of what someone's body "should" look like, especially when it comes to weight. Body positivity is more visible than ever, but so is fatphobia. With the help of our friends of the School of Public Health's Weight Inclusive Initiative, we'll dive into the ways that queer bodies and queer cultures interact with and complicate the already complex ideas we have around one's weight. Are queer people held to a higher standard than non-queer folks? Do we hold each other to higher standards within our own community? Are there any major connections between fatphobia and gender dysphoria?

Spectrum Center Event Accessibility Statement:
The Spectrum Center is dedicated to working towards offering equitable access to all of the events we organize. If you have an accessibility need you feel may not be automatically met at this event, there is space to report that in the registration, or you can fill out our Event Accessibility Form, found at http://bit.ly/SCaccess. You do not need to have a registered disability with the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) or identify as disabled to submit. Advance notice is necessary for some accommodations to be fully implemented, and we will always attempt to dismantle barriers as they are brought up to us. Any questions about accessibility at Spectrum Center events can be directed to spectrumcenter@umich.edu.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

This custom-built public art installation and immersive film experience uses humor, craft, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics.

Shelves are stocked with thousands of original grocery items meticulously sculpted by hand, all made from discarded single-use plastics organically harvested from streets and garbage dumps. Several times a day, the store transforms into an immersive, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.

Location: Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Organized By: Michigan Malaysian Students' Association (MiMSA)

For the past decade, the Michigan Malaysian Students’ Association (MiMSA) comes together for Malaysian Cultural Night (MCN): an all-encompassing play and exhibition that underlines the issue of racism, differences in religious values, social identity, and social issues in Malaysia. MCN encapsulates the perceptions that we have of our homeland into a night’s worth of unique cultural experiences, like showcasing multiple traditional dances from different ethnicities in Malaysia. Welcoming all ages with a free-of-charge admission to the event, we present Rojak.

Rojak

Malaysian Cultural Night (2023) tells the story of a marriage-to-be. He’s from East Malaysia. She’s from West Malaysia. Her mother doesn’t approve. How could a distance so short prove to be so daunting for their respective cultures and religions, yet fortified through love? Rojak is a story of how they overcome her mother’s cultural prejudices and come to embody Malaysia’s rich history of multiculturalism.

Turn inspiration into impact with insights from researchers, scientists, artists, and activists tackling the question: What can we do about single-use plastics? The U-M Museum of Art, U-M Arts Initiative, the Graham Sustainability Institute, and the University Musical Society join forces to offer this illuminating event designed to share diverse perspectives and empower individual action.

Moderated by Jena Brooker, Detroit-based freelance journalist, an environmental reporter for BridgeDetroit, Data Fellow at the USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism, and Science-Health-Environment Reporting Fellow through the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing (CASW), Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ), and the Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ). 

Panelists include: 

Lashaun Jackson, Graham Sustainability Scholar

Samuel McMullen, Co-Founder, Live Zero Waste

Shelie Miller, Professor, Director, Program in the Environment; Jonathan W. Bulkley Collegiate Professor of Sustainable Systems; U-M Distinguished Faculty Fellow in Sustainability, SEAS

Meredith Miller, Associate Professor of Architecture, Taubman College

Thomas Moran, Associate Professor of Architecture, Taubman College; collaborator, Thing Thing

Genevieve Rattray, Director of Environmental Initiatives and Affairs for the Belle Isle Conservancy and Founder & Chair of the Detroit River Coalition

Hannah Tizedes, Artist and Environmentalist

Single-use plastics, such as plastic bags, straws, and cutlery, have become a major environmental concern due to their widespread use and presence as a global polluter. These plastics can take hundreds of years to break down, and, in the process, release harmful chemicals into the environment.

During the event, the diverse panel of experts will explore various ways to reduce our reliance on single-use plastics, such as using reusable alternatives, implementing policies to reduce plastic production and consumption, and promoting recycling and proper waste management. The speakers will also discuss the role that individuals, businesses, and governments can play in addressing this issue.

The Queer World Conversations (February 1, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/103266 103266-21806695@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 1, 2023 10:00am
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Spectrum Center

See other Spectrum Center events: https://bit.ly/LGBTQ-UM-Events

We'd like to invite you to a new event series this semester, the Queer World Conversations! These will be weekly discussions on a variety of topics, but all of them will be discussed with a queer lens. We'll bring the topic, you bring the discussion! Everyone is welcome to join the Conversations, and the voices of those most impacted by the week's topic will be prioritized.

Topics will be announced the week before on our social medias and on the event pages. Registration is not required, nor is consistent attendance. Come when you want, bring your friends, and let's have a Conversation!

Upcoming topics:
4/12/23 - Weight Inclusivity

There are a lot of social ideas of what someone's body "should" look like, especially when it comes to weight. Body positivity is more visible than ever, but so is fatphobia. With the help of our friends of the School of Public Health's Weight Inclusive Initiative, we'll dive into the ways that queer bodies and queer cultures interact with and complicate the already complex ideas we have around one's weight. Are queer people held to a higher standard than non-queer folks? Do we hold each other to higher standards within our own community? Are there any major connections between fatphobia and gender dysphoria?

Spectrum Center Event Accessibility Statement:

The Challenge of Transition (February 1, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104225 104225-21808691@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 1, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Educational Outreach

As stewards of transition, we look to arm incoming students with the hope and promise of a better future through higher education. Why then, does that process create such challenges for the students and for the helpers themselves? In this webinar, we will explore the common vulnerabilities in both students and educators that most miss when undertaking the awesome task of guiding youth through the milestones of life. While the goal stays focused on how best to support the students, the process of supporting and protecting yourself comes first.

Mark Talaga has been counseling gifted individuals for over 10 years and is the owner and director of the Center for Identity Potential. Mark's experience with gifted counseling began in 2012 under the mentorship of Andy Mahoney, a pioneer and expert in the field of counseling the gifted. Mark is a former video game professional who utilizes his knowledge of gaming and technology to create a strong relationship with many of the kids with whom he works. Through his own personal struggle with executive functioning, validating his giftedness, and finding purpose and meaning in this world, Mark has developed expertise in the education and skills necessary to help gifted children activate their potential and live more authentic, fulfilling lives.

1/20,000th of a Person?: Democracy & Protecting Equal Rights in Notice & Comment Rulemaking (February 3, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103579 103579-21807511@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 3, 2023 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

In 2018-2019, civil rights activists organized opposition to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, issued by then-Secretary of Education DeVos, designed to gut U.S. Department of Education Title IX enforcement regarding sexual harassment. Although an historic—and overwhelmingly antagonistic—124,000+ comments were filed, ED finalized the rules, without meaningful changes, and four legal challenges quickly followed, several pointing out the both strong and numerous opposing comments. These challenges relied on a particular “story” of the Administrative Procedures Act and its requirements for “notice and comment rulemakings.” That story maintains that the APA directly vested a “commenting power” in the American public as a check and balance empowering the public to stop agencies from following policies that have little to no democratic support. A competing technocratic, oligarchic “story” of rulemakings views the public’s commenting power as simply a way to funnel technical expertise to agencies, not an expression of Americans’ policy preferences. This story ignores and exacerbates socio-economic inequalities, especially those linked to gender and race, doubly excluding already politically marginalized groups from administrative lawmaking. Enter “mass commenting,” which includes “boilerplate comments” that ordinary people often use to exercise their commenting power but agencies discount, treating such comments, regardless of how many people filed them, as a single comment. This article explores how the DeVos rulemaking exposed inequalities and anti-democratic agency practices such as dismissal of legitimate mass comments. It urges agencies instead to adopt more democratic and less technocratic rulemaking procedures, at least for rulemakings implicating equal protection of the law.

This custom-built public art installation and immersive film experience uses humor, craft, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics.

Shelves are stocked with thousands of original grocery items meticulously sculpted by hand, all made from discarded single-use plastics organically harvested from streets and garbage dumps. Several times a day, the store transforms into an immersive, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.

Location: William Clements Library
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

This student-curated exhibit focuses on the theme of secrecy and how it has shaped our inquiry into how the family, as an institution and an ideal at the heart of debates about American identity and national belonging, has changed over time.

The materials gathered here represented various ways in which cultural concepts of family evolved in both public and private ways.

Please enter through the North Entrance (glass vestibule) that faces the Hatcher Graduate Library.

Curated by: Grace Argo and the Students of History 195, Fall 2022, with Maggie Vanderfold and Julie Fremuth at the Clements Library.

The Queer World Conversations (February 8, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/103266 103266-21806696@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 8, 2023 10:00am
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Spectrum Center

See other Spectrum Center events: https://bit.ly/LGBTQ-UM-Events

We'd like to invite you to a new event series this semester, the Queer World Conversations! These will be weekly discussions on a variety of topics, but all of them will be discussed with a queer lens. We'll bring the topic, you bring the discussion! Everyone is welcome to join the Conversations, and the voices of those most impacted by the week's topic will be prioritized.

Topics will be announced the week before on our social medias and on the event pages. Registration is not required, nor is consistent attendance. Come when you want, bring your friends, and let's have a Conversation!

Upcoming topics:
4/12/23 - Weight Inclusivity

There are a lot of social ideas of what someone's body "should" look like, especially when it comes to weight. Body positivity is more visible than ever, but so is fatphobia. With the help of our friends of the School of Public Health's Weight Inclusive Initiative, we'll dive into the ways that queer bodies and queer cultures interact with and complicate the already complex ideas we have around one's weight. Are queer people held to a higher standard than non-queer folks? Do we hold each other to higher standards within our own community? Are there any major connections between fatphobia and gender dysphoria?

Spectrum Center Event Accessibility Statement:
The Spectrum Center is dedicated to working towards offering equitable access to all of the events we organize. If you have an accessibility need you feel may not be automatically met at this event, there is space to report that in the registration, or you can fill out our Event Accessibility Form, found at http://bit.ly/SCaccess. You do not need to have a registered disability with the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) or identify as disabled to submit. Advance notice is necessary for some accommodations to be fully implemented, and we will always attempt to dismantle barriers as they are brought up to us.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

The adoption of home devices connected to the internet is growing and so are concerns about child physical and digital safety and privacy in the smart home. The U-M community is invited to join us on Zoom for a presentation and Q&A with Kaiwen Sun, U-M School of Information Ph.D. student, as she explores the discrepancies between marketing depictions and device features, and discusses considerations for keeping children safe in the smart home.

Kaiwen Sun’s research focuses on the intersection of children’s privacy and safety and understanding parents’ perceptions and behaviors around privacy and safety in the context of smart home technologies.

This event is open to the U-M community (umich login required) and will be especially relevant to parents, grandparents, guardians, and others who interact with children in their homes.

Select Works By James Charles Morris (February 9, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/104713 104713-21809951@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 9, 2023 8:00am
Location:
Organized By: Palmer Commons

An exhibition by James Charles Morris will be at Palmer Commons, 4th Floor Atrium, February 13 - March 10.

About the Artist:
James Charles Morris (b. 1984), is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist, who has engaged in the creative visual media practices of photography, collage, painting, and printmaking for 20 years. Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race, spirituality, history, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown, which is evident in his work.

Morris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother, Dell Pryor, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans, Hugh Grannum, Lester Sloan, Al Loving, Gilda Snowden, Shirley Woodson, Anthony Barboza, and Eric Pryor among others.

In 2008, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit), a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society.

In 2019, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage, photo montage, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

Mariupol: The Chronicles of Hell
The fall of one of Ukraine's major cities
Mariupol — ruined but not conquered. The city in the east of Ukraine has survived the occupation, total destruction, and a humanitarian catastrophe. The story of Mariupol is an especially horrifying one, with accounts reported that occupiers were murdering civilians, and actively preventing them from escaping. This film is the story of the survivors, and their life in a hell on Earth. Yet it's also a testament to the power of resilience, and Ukrainian fighting spirit.

Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Palmer Commons

An exhibition by James Charles Morris will be at Palmer Commons, 4th Floor Atrium, February 13 - March 10.

About the Artist:
James Charles Morris (b. 1984), is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist, who has engaged in the creative visual media practices of photography, collage, painting, and printmaking for 20 years. Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race, spirituality, history, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown, which is evident in his work.

Morris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother, Dell Pryor, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans, Hugh Grannum, Lester Sloan, Al Loving, Gilda Snowden, Shirley Woodson, Anthony Barboza, and Eric Pryor among others.

In 2008, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit), a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society.

In 2019, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage, photo montage, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

Why do travelers, past and present, dwell on scenes of disgusting food preparation and consumption? Modern audiences might be familiar with the genre of culinary adventure shows, in which intrepid celebrity hosts travel to remote parts of the globe as food ethnographers, sampling everything from tarantulas in Cambodia to horse rectum sausages in Kazakhstan. Their early modern counterparts, while lesser-known, tell us equally grisly tales of food preparation that variously involve dripping fat, bloody entrails, and dung-smeared meats.

Indeed, the performance of disgust in encounters with foreign culinary and commensal rituals is a generic convention of the early modern travelogue. Travelers to different parts of the globe make sure to pause at a certain juncture in their narrative to record their affective response to the food of the other. Disgust, it would seem, lends immediacy and credibility to their tales of encounter. These narratives, especially when placed in conversation with domestic scenes of food preparation, depicted in household manuals and recipe books of the period, provide us an opportunity to analyze what we might call ‘gut responses’ to the idea of racial and cultural difference.

Gitanjali Shahani is Associate Dean and Professor of English at San Francisco State University, specializing in Shakespeare studies, postcolonial studies, and food studies. She is the author of Tasting Difference: Food, Race, and Cultural Encounters in Early Modern Literature (Cornell University Press, 2020). She has edited two collections, Food and Literature (Cambridge University Press, 2019) and Emissaries in Early Modern Literature & Culture (Routledge 2016, Ashgate 2009). Her articles on race and colonialism in early modern literature have been published in numerous collections and journals, including Shakespeare, Shakespeare Studies, and The Journal of Early Modern Cultural Studies.

In May 2022, the United Nations announced the number of forcibly displaced people in the world having exceeded 100 million. Of these, almost 30 million are refugees, i.e., people forcibly displaced across country borders. A life as a refugee entails profound physical, psychological, and social hardships, but even amidst these hardships, refugees’ stories bear witness to psychological strength and resourcefulness. With the help of qualitative interview data collected in Germany and the US, I will discuss three studies uncovering refugees’ experiences of and strive towards a good life and a meaningful career in their new home country. The first study explores identity threats, identity-threat coping, and resulting identity growth among refugees as they seek to integrate in the working life in Germany. The second study addresses unique features in refugees’ career construction in the resettlement, also suggesting important contextually relevant extensions to the career construction theory. In the third study, we hear from adolescent refugees; what a good life means to them and how they strive towards such a good life. This study highlights the role of temporality in refugees’ experiences of a good life. Taken together, these three studies address the potential for and the processes of adversarial psychological growth and psychological well-being in midst of chronic adversities faced by refugee populations.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Famed South Indian Kathakali dancer Manoj Kumar from the premier tertiary conservatory of South Indian music and dance, Kerala Kalamandalam, will offer a solo performance in full make up and costumes with an introduction from Kathakali scholar V. Kaladharan. Kumar will appear on the stage as the omnipotent Ravana, the king of Srilanka. This anti-hero in the great Indian Epic, Ramayana, recollects the major milestones in his life right from his childhood days. Q&A following the performance.

Part of the U-M Fall 2023 Festival of Asian Music
https://smtd.umich.edu/asian-music-festival/

Kathakali, literally story-play, is a highly evolved dance-theatre tradition that originated in Kerala, south India, in the 17th century. It is an amazing amalgam of dance, drama, and music; vocal and instrumental. The facial makeup & costuming of Kathakali are both stylized and semi-realistic. The ornamentations in Kathakali are intricate, intriguing and incredibly elaborate. It takes three to four hours for a Kathakali actor to transform himself/herself into a Kathakali character. Traditionally Kathakali plays dramatize stories from the great Indian epics: the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Srimad Bhagawatha.

Free and open to the public; Presented by the Center for World Performance Studies with support from the School of Music, Theatre & Dance, the Center for South Asian Studies, and the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.

An exhibition by James Charles Morris will be at Palmer Commons, 4th Floor Atrium, February 13 - March 10.

About the Artist:
James Charles Morris (b. 1984), is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist, who has engaged in the creative visual media practices of photography, collage, painting, and printmaking for 20 years. Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race, spirituality, history, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown, which is evident in his work.

Morris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother, Dell Pryor, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans, Hugh Grannum, Lester Sloan, Al Loving, Gilda Snowden, Shirley Woodson, Anthony Barboza, and Eric Pryor among others.

In 2008, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit), a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society.

In 2019, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage, photo montage, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

RCGD Winter Seminar Series: Motivation and Emotion in Political Thought and Division (February 13, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103470 103470-21807306@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 13, 2023 3:30pm
Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD)

David Dunning, Psychology Department; RCGD; University of Michigan

Motivation and Emotion in Political Thought and Division
Whether people adopt conclusions and misinformation that support their political preferences is often thought to be a product of intellectual ability. However, studies suggest that cognitive ability has little to do with whether people endorse politically-friendly falsehoods. I discuss research suggesting that emotional dynamics are very much relevant to false beliefs, such as conspiracy theories, that people adopt in favor of their political leanings. It also underlies motivated reasoning in support of those beliefs.

David Dunning (BA, Michigan State; PhD, Stanford) is a social psychologist focusing primarily on the psychology underlying human misbelief. His most cited work shows that people hold flattering self-opinions that cannot be justified from objective evidence, work supported by the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Templeton Foundation. He has served as president of both the Society of Experimental Social Psychology and the Society for the Science of Motivation.


The U.S. is experiencing unprecedented levels of political polarization relative to the past few decades, especially in terms of affective polarization, or feelings of dislike and distrust towards members of the opposing political party. In this winter talk series, we will hear from experts across disciplines (social psychology, political science, sociology, communication) in order to better understand why political polarization is so high and what, if anything, can we do about it.

RCGD Seminars will be held at ISR Thompson 1430. Events will be recorded. Graduate seminars precede the events from 2-3:30. To meet with external speakers or to find out more about these events, contact Rachael Hamilton at rachaelr@umich.edu.

Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Spectrum Center

See other Spectrum Center events: https://bit.ly/LGBTQ-UM-Events

We'd like to invite you to a new event series this semester, the Queer World Conversations! These will be weekly discussions on a variety of topics, but all of them will be discussed with a queer lens. We'll bring the topic, you bring the discussion! Everyone is welcome to join the Conversations, and the voices of those most impacted by the week's topic will be prioritized.

Topics will be announced the week before on our social medias and on the event pages. Registration is not required, nor is consistent attendance. Come when you want, bring your friends, and let's have a Conversation!

Upcoming topics:
4/12/23 - Weight Inclusivity

There are a lot of social ideas of what someone's body "should" look like, especially when it comes to weight. Body positivity is more visible than ever, but so is fatphobia. With the help of our friends of the School of Public Health's Weight Inclusive Initiative, we'll dive into the ways that queer bodies and queer cultures interact with and complicate the already complex ideas we have around one's weight. Are queer people held to a higher standard than non-queer folks? Do we hold each other to higher standards within our own community? Are there any major connections between fatphobia and gender dysphoria?

Spectrum Center Event Accessibility Statement:
The Spectrum Center is dedicated to working towards offering equitable access to all of the events we organize. If you have an accessibility need you feel may not be automatically met at this event, there is space to report that in the registration, or you can fill out our Event Accessibility Form, found at http://bit.ly/SCaccess. You do not need to have a registered disability with the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) or identify as disabled to submit. Advance notice is necessary for some accommodations to be fully implemented, and we will always attempt to dismantle barriers as they are brought up to us. Any questions about accessibility at Spectrum Center events can be directed to spectrumcenter@umich.edu.

Organized By: MSA Diversity Equity & Inclusion

What is “host leadership” and how is this novel mindset well-suited to the complex demands of today’s workplace? Explore how leaders who act both heroically (stepping forward) and in service (stepping back) can effectively manage challenging work interactions – and how everyone -- whether they have a formal supervisory role or not -- can incorporate host leadership in practical ways to enhance daily work life and enrich the workplace. Join facilitator Denise Williams of Michigan Medicine Human Resources for this thought-provoking presentation. Open to all, but please register here to attend this virtual event.

Organized By: Michigan Housing Diversity and Inclusion

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so let's talk about how our identities interact with our conceptions of love, both romantically and platonically. As we all know, cultural experiences and traditional behaviors all influence our expressions and experiences of love, and deeply impact the way we give and receive it. For this event, residents will interact on a deeper level, sharing experiences and stories regarding their perceptions of love. The event will be an hour, with 5 minute rounds during which people will share a conversation with a new person.

The main objective is to allow for diverse perspectives and experiences to bring a greater sense of unity around love, especially as Valentine's day approaches. There is always a place for you, especially on Valentine's day, and you never have to be alone. All are welcome!

An exhibition by James Charles Morris will be at Palmer Commons, 4th Floor Atrium, February 13 - March 10.

About the Artist:
James Charles Morris (b. 1984), is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist, who has engaged in the creative visual media practices of photography, collage, painting, and printmaking for 20 years. Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race, spirituality, history, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown, which is evident in his work.

Morris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother, Dell Pryor, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans, Hugh Grannum, Lester Sloan, Al Loving, Gilda Snowden, Shirley Woodson, Anthony Barboza, and Eric Pryor among others.

In 2008, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit), a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society.

In 2019, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage, photo montage, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

Sense of Self: The Islamic Contemporary (February 17, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/105043 105043-21810636@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 17, 2023 10:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

Despite recent panels and scholarship aiming to dispel the notion, there is a conception that contemporary art and religion are incompatible.

When paired with the Islamophobic sentiment that Islam is destructive, rather than constructive like artistic practices and that it even forbids many forms of artistic production, there is a presumption that contemporary art that engages with Islam as religion and faith (rather than simply as identity) cannot exist.

There is an additional assumption that those who identify as women, queer, trans, and non-binary are unlikely to engage with Islam in their work outside of critique, because of the belief that Islam is inherently (and uniquely) oppressive of and therefore contradictory to individuals who identify as such.

In an attempt to disabuse viewers of these notions, as well as give a space of exploration to these often overlooked or excluded voices, this exhibition brings together women, queer, trans, and non-binary Muslim artists who explore their connection to religion, their other identities (be those related to their race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, or status as artists), and their practices.

Losing the Plot? How narrative identity challenges affect independent scientists’ progression, thriving, and resilience (February 17, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103240 103240-21806525@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 17, 2023 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Creating and maintaining a clear, meaningful, and sustainable narrative about one’s identity is both a fundamental human motive and is associated with a host of positive outcomes. Typically, organizations and professional institutions provide people with scripts for building such an identity which serve to guide behavior, clarify relational expectations, and define career pathways. Yet despite investing heavily in their own education and training, professional gig workers may struggle to develop their identity story both because they lack the guidance of such structures and because the dynamics of gig work continually challenge important elements of one’s narrative identity, including plot, characters, coherence, continuity. In this paper we ask two interrelated questions: How does the experience of ongoing narrative challenges impact workers’ weekly behaviors and well-being? And how do gig workers build their career narratives? Addressing the first question, we propose that such challenges don’t only manifest as occasional bouts of existential anxiety, but instead are experienced as everyday realities that affect individuals’ sense of weekly progress, their feelings of thriving in their work lives, and their perceptions of their own resilience by affecting their ability to both stay focused and motivated, and exhibit the proactivity needed to get ahead of problems and tackle challenges. We test and find support for our hypotheses with longitudinal survey data collected three times per week over five weeks from 207 independent scientists. To address the second question, we analyze 244 independent scientists’ reports about their career sensemaking and future plans. These data are the first that we know of to explore how professional gig workers conceptualize and think about careers in the gig economy and offer insight into the core plot themes that gig workers use to make sense of and craft their stories of their work selves. Our paper contributes to theorizing at the intersection of identity and gig work by demonstrating how narrative identity serves as a critical resource for contemporary workers and providing insight into how professional gig workers build this resource by writing their career narratives as they go.

An exhibition by James Charles Morris will be at Palmer Commons, 4th Floor Atrium, February 13 - March 10.

About the Artist:
James Charles Morris (b. 1984), is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist, who has engaged in the creative visual media practices of photography, collage, painting, and printmaking for 20 years. Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race, spirituality, history, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown, which is evident in his work.

Morris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother, Dell Pryor, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans, Hugh Grannum, Lester Sloan, Al Loving, Gilda Snowden, Shirley Woodson, Anthony Barboza, and Eric Pryor among others.

In 2008, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit), a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society.

In 2019, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage, photo montage, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

Ann Arbor's First Orthodox Priest (February 20, 2023 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104727 104727-21810022@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 20, 2023 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Classical Studies

Who was the first Orthodox Priest of Ann Arbor, and what can we learn from his life story today? This talk will follow the twists and turns in the life of Father Agathangelos, the first Greek-Orthodox priest to serve the spiritual needs of Ann Arbor nearly a century ago, and reflect on its broader meanings for Greek Orthodoxy in America.

Father Agathangelos was born and raised in Ottoman Cappadocia (central Anatolia) at the end of the nineteenth century, but his life was upended with the Greco-Turkish Population Exchange of 1923 (whose centennial we honor this year). The Exchange was at the time an unprecedented act of ethnic cleansing: The Republic of Turkey stripped nearly one and a half million indigenous Anatolian Christians of their citizenship and uprooted them to Greece, which in turn stripped Greek citizenship from nearly half a million indigenous Muslims of Greece and uprooted them to Turkey. This Compulsory Exchange upended the lives of nearly two million souls and set an international precedent for partition and forced population movements in later decades.

This talk will follow the refugee life and migrations of Father Agathangelos -- who, in addition to being a priest, was also a poet, a novelist, and an iconographer -- through his artwork and the traces he left behind. His first and only fluent language was Turkish, which he wrote in the Greek alphabet, known as "Karamanlidika Turkish." His poetry and his art reflect the rich cultural confluence of Anatolia before the Exchange, and it was this culture that he carried with him into refugeehood and his later migration to the United States. What can his life tell us about the enumenical breadth and cultural riches of Greek Orthodoxy in America? You are all warmly invited to join in this lecture and to share your own perspectives in an open-forum Q&A afterward.

William Stroebel is an Assistant Professor of Modern Greek and Comparative Literature in the departments of Classical Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on recovering the refugee literatures displaced by the Greco-Turkish Population Exchange of 1923. The lecture will be accompanied with refreshments and a reception after the Q&A.

An exhibition by James Charles Morris will be at Palmer Commons, 4th Floor Atrium, February 13 - March 10.

About the Artist:
James Charles Morris (b. 1984), is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist, who has engaged in the creative visual media practices of photography, collage, painting, and printmaking for 20 years. Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race, spirituality, history, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown, which is evident in his work.

Morris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother, Dell Pryor, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans, Hugh Grannum, Lester Sloan, Al Loving, Gilda Snowden, Shirley Woodson, Anthony Barboza, and Eric Pryor among others.

In 2008, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit), a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society.

In 2019, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage, photo montage, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Spectrum Center

See other Spectrum Center events: https://bit.ly/LGBTQ-UM-Events

We'd like to invite you to a new event series this semester, the Queer World Conversations! These will be weekly discussions on a variety of topics, but all of them will be discussed with a queer lens. We'll bring the topic, you bring the discussion! Everyone is welcome to join the Conversations, and the voices of those most impacted by the week's topic will be prioritized.

Topics will be announced the week before on our social medias and on the event pages. Registration is not required, nor is consistent attendance. Come when you want, bring your friends, and let's have a Conversation!

Upcoming topics:
4/12/23 - Weight Inclusivity

There are a lot of social ideas of what someone's body "should" look like, especially when it comes to weight. Body positivity is more visible than ever, but so is fatphobia. With the help of our friends of the School of Public Health's Weight Inclusive Initiative, we'll dive into the ways that queer bodies and queer cultures interact with and complicate the already complex ideas we have around one's weight. Are queer people held to a higher standard than non-queer folks? Do we hold each other to higher standards within our own community? Are there any major connections between fatphobia and gender dysphoria?

Spectrum Center Event Accessibility Statement:
The Spectrum Center is dedicated to working towards offering equitable access to all of the events we organize. If you have an accessibility need you feel may not be automatically met at this event, there is space to report that in the registration, or you can fill out our Event Accessibility Form, found at http://bit.ly/SCaccess.

What is Aromanticism? Aromanticism is a romantic orientation, which describes people whose experience of romance is disconnected from normative societal expectations, often due to experiencing little to no romantic attraction, or sometimes feeling repulsed by romance or being uninterested in romantic relationships.

An exhibition by James Charles Morris will be at Palmer Commons, 4th Floor Atrium, February 13 - March 10.

About the Artist:
James Charles Morris (b. 1984), is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist, who has engaged in the creative visual media practices of photography, collage, painting, and printmaking for 20 years. Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race, spirituality, history, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown, which is evident in his work.

Morris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother, Dell Pryor, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans, Hugh Grannum, Lester Sloan, Al Loving, Gilda Snowden, Shirley Woodson, Anthony Barboza, and Eric Pryor among others.

In 2008, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit), a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society.

In 2019, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage, photo montage, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works, that have engaged many within the artistic community.
