Towards Solidarity: Allyship in Action is a 6-hour workshop developed by the University of Michigan Spectrum Center. This workshop aims to deepen our UM community's understanding of, and ability to engage with, LGBTQIA2S+ allyship. In Towards Solidarity, we move beyond basic conceptualizations of allyship and challenge participants to center liberation as they show up actively for LGBTQ+ communities. Learning outcomes include:

Through their participation in this program, participants will:

Develop their understanding of LGBTQIA2S+ allyship away from “ally” as an identity term and toward solidarity, a developmental, intersectional, and active set of practices;
Increase self-awareness to more effectively be in solidarity with LGBTQ+ communities;
Gain knowledge about how LGBTQ+ oppression operates on multiple levels
Identify inclusive practices, skills, and resources to support LGBTQ+ communities, particularly at U-M;
Commit to the practice of allyship and showing up in solidarity in their personal and professional lives


In this public offering of our workshop, lunch will be provided. We expect that all participants to complete our 1-hour webcourse prior to joining Towards Solidarity: Allyship in Action.

The University of Michigan will celebrate the 3rd Annual Juneteenth Symposium. The theme of this year’s event is Systems Check: Exploring Structural Solutions to Systemic Racism.

Juneteenth events honor the progress of African Americans in the U.S. since the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 while continuing to recognize the ongoing efforts to overcome systemic injustices and inequities faced by Black communities. This year’s celebratory events include a community prayer breakfast, a black film festival, and the Kidz Zone tent at the Top of the Park. A host of panel discussions will highlight topics such as housing discrimination and voter suppression, to name a few.

Our hope is to enrich the University of Michigan and Ann Arbor communities by underscoring the importance of Juneteenth ensuring all students, staff, faculty, and residents feel a deep sense of belonging. We hope you can join us for our celebration while we advance our educational mission as a university and seek to empower the community in a longstanding annual tradition to promote Black liberation and excellence.

*Humanize the Numbers* presents the perspectives of men in Michigan prisons.

The prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height, weight, etc. In the process, their humanity is denied.

This exhibit reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so, those in prison reclaim their humanity.

The goal is not to define any artist by the experience of having been incarcerated, but rather to amplify a story that only that artist can tell—a story that is important to the artist to tell, and an opportunity to use the medium of theatre to share it with the community.

*Humanize the Numbers* presents the perspectives of men in Michigan prisons.

The prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height, weight, etc. In the process, their humanity is denied.

This exhibit reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so, those in prison reclaim their humanity.

Proudly presented by Prison Creative Arts Project, MI Radio, and The Guild of Artists & Artisans

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

Beginning Friday, August 11th, the exhibit Shared Humanity will be featured at the Greater Flint Arts Council from the Prison Creative Arts Project’s (PCAP) private collection. The artwork is for sale and will be on display through September 1, 2023.

According to Sarah Unrath, Curator and PCAP's Community Engagement Specialist, “The exhibition is designed to connect viewers to artists through the wide gamut of their human experiences. We all have dreams, memories, goals, pasts. We all process emotions of anger, joy, grief, and nostalgia. We have specially selected works that show a culmination of ways artists in prison have navigated the complex realities of being human.”

The curatorial staff at PCAP worked closely with artists who were formerly incarcerated to select works that would fit the theme of this exhibition and be of interest to the broader audience. Visitors will see works from familiar artists, including Andy Wynkoop, An ArtsyGuy, RIK, Roger (Free-Hand) Stephenson, and many others.

“This exhibition centralizes intersecting themes and multi-faceted layers of what it means to be human. Our hope is to challenge the lens through which the exhibit audience looks at people in prison. Coming out of a season that has worn us thin of human connection, this exhibit presents a unique opportunity to engage in powerful dialogue inspired by the art in Shared Humanity,” says Unrath

Admission is free and open to the public.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

The goal of *In And On Our Own Terms* is for each artist to tell a story from their own experience that would not typically be part of the broader narrative about mass incarceration.

The goal is not to define any artist by the experience of having been incarcerated, but rather to amplify a story that only that artist can tell—a story that is important to the artist to tell, and an opportunity to use the medium of theatre to share it with the community.

July 21 – 3 PM
Ann Arbor Stage on Main (353 S. Main St. Ann Arbor, MI 48104)

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Prison Creative Arts Project, The

Beginning Friday, August 11th, the exhibit Shared Humanity will be featured at the Greater Flint Arts Council from the Prison Creative Arts Project’s (PCAP) private collection. The artwork is for sale and will be on display through September 1, 2023.

According to Sarah Unrath, Curator and PCAP's Community Engagement Specialist, “The exhibition is designed to connect viewers to artists through the wide gamut of their human experiences. We all have dreams, memories, goals, pasts. We all process emotions of anger, joy, grief, and nostalgia. We have specially selected works that show a culmination of ways artists in prison have navigated the complex realities of being human.”

The curatorial staff at PCAP worked closely with artists who were formerly incarcerated to select works that would fit the theme of this exhibition and be of interest to the broader audience. Visitors will see works from familiar artists, including Andy Wynkoop, An ArtsyGuy, RIK, Roger (Free-Hand) Stephenson, and many others.

“This exhibition centralizes intersecting themes and multi-faceted layers of what it means to be human. Our hope is to challenge the lens through which the exhibit audience looks at people in prison. Coming out of a season that has worn us thin of human connection, this exhibit presents a unique opportunity to engage in powerful dialogue inspired by the art in Shared Humanity,” says Unrath

Admission is free and open to the public.

Master of Light is a beautiful documentary about George Anthony Morton, an artist who studied classical painting while incarcerated and returned to his hometown to reconnect with his family, painting their portraits to bond and heal. It’s a powerful, raw, hopeful film you don't want to miss!

The screening will be followed by a discussion about the transformative power of arts in prisons with artist Flint Kougar, Program Coordinator - Mary Heinen, and Arts Programming Coordinator - Emily Chase. This event is part of the *Shared Humanity* traveling art sale & exhibition.

Submit a virtual audition for "NATASHA, PIERRE, & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812"! Join us as we put on this modern classic! Help us to transform this piece and amplify LGBTQIA+ stories and storytellers as we highlight the Queer themes of this masterpiece!

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

Anticolonial and Antiracist Approaches to Language Instruction (September 13, 2023 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/110961 110961-21825919@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 13, 2023 1:00pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Romance Languages & Literatures

Anticolonial and antiracist pedagogical frameworks allow us to intentionally confront and dismantle barriers to inclusive language learning. In this workshop, we will first examine how language education is connected to broader, societal-level antiracist and anticolonial movements and therefore uniquely situated to enact anticolonial and antiracist pedagogies. We will then engage in collective reflection and planning as we explore specific strategies for implementing such pedagogies while also supporting language proficiency goals. In addition to philosophical considerations, participants will leave with concrete ideas, activities, and frameworks that can be applied to a variety of languages and levels.

L. J. Randolph Jr., Ed.D., is an assistant professor of World Language Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Randolph’s teaching career has spanned 20 years, including a decade as a Spanish and ESL teacher at the secondary level. His research and teaching focus on various critical issues in language education, including teaching Spanish to heritage and native speakers, incorporating justice-centered/anti-racist/anti-colonial pedagogies, and centering Blackness and Indigenousness. Dr. Randolph is a co-editor of the book How We Take Action: Social Justice in PK-16 Classrooms. He is the president-elect of ACTFL and past president of FLANC and AATSP-NC.

Shakti: 50th Anniversary Tour
Feat. John McLaughlin, Zakir Hussain, & Shankar Mahadevan
with very special guest Béla Fleck

Following the Summer 2023 release of This Moment – their first new studio album in 46 years – revolutionary ensemble Shakti will continue to discover and explore the musical common ground bridging East and West on an exclusive US tour marking the 50th anniversary since their first concerts.

Born in the mid-1970s out of the deep artistic and spiritual connection bonding British guitarist John McLaughlin and Indian tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain, Shakti’s cross-cultural musical conversation dissolved boundaries with uncommon passion, grace, and dexterity, awakening subsequent generations of musicians to the possibilities of new creative approaches in the process. The unprecedented transcontinental collaboration forged the template for what is often called “world music.” Together they honed an ecstatic new fusion, blazing uncharted pathways and demonstrating the potential of such global composites to generations of musicians and fans around the world.

Alongside McLaughlin and Hussain, today’s Shakti features vocalist Shankar Mahadevan, violinist Ganesh Rajagopalan, and percussionist Selvaganesh Vinayakram (son of original Shakti ghatam player T.H. “Vikku” Vinayakram). Joining Shakti will be another performer dedicated to intermingling and transcending genres: banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck, who will open the performances with a solo set.

RCGD Fall Seminar Series: Psychological Diversity across the Globe (Kevin Carney) (September 18, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109961 109961-21825856@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 18, 2023 3:30pm

The Psychology of Borrowing: Evidence from Kenyan Dairy Farmers

Kevin Carney of the University of Michigan presents.

Access to credit can be an important part of the economic development process: credit allows financially constrained firms to make productive investments and increase their output. Microfinance has been proposed as a vehicle for economic growth, yet recent evidence has shown that microfinance has not achieved the transformative effects that were initially hypothesized. Using a series of field experiments, we explore whether principles from psychology and economics can be employed to improve lending models for smallholder dairy farmers in Kenya. The first experiment studies the borrower side of the problem, focusing on how the endowment effect interacts with collateral requirements to influence demand for loans. The second experiment examines the lender side, exploring how to optimize financial contracts to increase take-up while managing default risk.

Kevin Carney is an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan's Department of Economics, studying development and behavioral economics. His research uses field experiments to answer policy questions in developing countries, spanning a broad range of topics including household finance, health economics, and political economy. Kevin received a Ph.D. in public policy from Harvard University and was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Chicago.

Group Dynamics Fall 2023 Seminar Series: Psychological Diversity across the Globe
Do our cultural contexts influence our psychology and behavior — and if so, how? In this RCGD series, we delve into the socio-ecological, histo-cultural, and economic dynamics shaping the diversity of selfhood and its associated cognitive, emotional, and motivational processes. We go beyond the traditional East and West focus to include a wide range of cultural groups. This series will elucidate the implications of psychological diversity across the globe for policies in international relations, politics, economics, business, immigration, and other relevant domains.


Organized by Shinobu Kitayama and Catherine Thomas
In person: ISR Thompson 1430
As permissions allow, seminars from this series are later posted to ISR's YouTube playlist.


The series runs Mondays from 3:30 to 5.


About the Group Dynamics Seminar Series

The Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent seminars have included discussions in “Law and Psychology,” “Racism and Discrimination,” “Social Media,” and “Political Polarization.” The series is offered by the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD), at the Institute for Social Research.

Every individual, regardless of race, ethnicity, or country of origin deserves the opportunity to pursue an education or career in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) in a welcoming, supportive, and antiracist environment. Yet, despite considerable investments to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEMM organizations, substantial barriers continue to produce systematically inequitable opportunities and outcomes.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a committee and developed a newly released consensus report titled Advancing Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in STEMM Organizations: Beyond Broadening Participation, which synthesizes the existing body of research on antiracism, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI) in STEMM organizations and provides guidance and a set of recommendations for stakeholders across the STEMM enterprise to build ADEI into existing systems. This upcoming event at the University of Michigan will provide an overview of the entire report as well as the set of recommendations within it. This event will be followed by a smaller discussion session of the report over lunch between the speaker and students.

Amal Walks Across America (September 23, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/111225 111225-21826302@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, September 23, 2023 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Little Amal, the internationally celebrated 12-foot-tall puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee girl who visited New York City last fall, will stop by Ann Arbor this September as part of an epic 6,000-mile journey across the United States. An international symbol of human rights, especially those of refugees, Amal is walking across the United States to learn firsthand about a country that has long been a refuge for those seeking safety and opportunity – but is simultaneously struggling with how to manage long-standing issues related to immigration. Amal’s engagement with hundreds of communities across the country will help spark meaningful conversations to help us better understand who we are and where we come from.

Along her epic cross-country 6,000-mile journey, she will meet with a wide range of displaced and disenfranchised people, including North American Indigenous people, communities of color whose contributions to the story of America have historically been overlooked, recent migrants, and the ancestors of earlier immigrants, to learn more about the stories of the American people who established roots in these communities over the last hundred-plus years.

Playing Traditional Korean Sanjo on the Violin (September 30, 2023 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/110003 110003-21823570@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, September 30, 2023 5:00pm
Location: Walgreen Drama Center
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

*Sanjo* is a genre of Korean traditional folk art music for a solo melodic instrument such as the zither *kayagŭm* or flute *taegŭm*, accompanied by an hourglass-shaped drum called *changgu*. Sanjo consists of several movements of increasing speed built on the unique Korean rhythmic patterns called *changdan*. The solo instrument plays dramatic and expressive melodic phrases that draw from the inflections of spoken Korean that are also characteristic of *p’ansori* singing.

ARTIST BIO

Although a native of Korea, violinist SOH-HYUN PARK ALTINO crossed paths with traditional Korean music only in 2019 while investigating distinctive musical elements in *Sanjo for Violin and Piano* (1955) by La Un-Yung (1922-1993), her maternal grandfather. Since then, supported by various research grants, she has pursued a new line of study of interpreting traditional ajaeng sanjo on the Western violin. In addition to studying extensively with traditional musicians in Korea, she has trained on the Kim Ilgu school of ajaeng sanjo with the composer-performer Kim Ilgu, Holder of National Important Intangible Cultural Property. This lecture and world premiere are made possible by the 2023 Korean Studies Grant of the Academy of Korean Studies and the Faculty Global Research Award of the Wheaton College.

Soh-Hyun came to the U.S. at age sixteen in pursuit of better musical educational opportunities and earned her bachelor’s, master’s, and the Doctor of Musical Arts degrees in violin performance at the Cleveland Institute of Music under the tutelage of Donald Weilerstein. Highly regarded as a gifted teacher and a versatile performer of solo and chamber music, Soh-Hyun taught at the University of Memphis and the University of Wisconsin-Madison prior to her current appointment as Associate Professor of Music at Wheaton College in Illinois.

Esther, a gifted Black seamstress in 1905 New York City, lives in a boarding house for women, where she makes a good living sewing intimate apparel (and keeping intimate secrets) for her clients. As she saves for the kind of future with a husband and family that she can’t have with the Hasidic shopkeeper who has captured her heart, she begins a deeply personal correspondence with a mysterious suitor laboring on the Panama Canal.

Steeped in evocative historical detail, *Intimate Apparel* delves into the inner lives of characters in search of connection.

Written by Lynn Nottage
Directed by Judith Moreland

FUN FACTS: Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage wrote *Intimate Apparel* as a tribute to her great-grandmother, a seamstress in early-20th-century New York.

In its initial run, *Intimate Apparel* won the 2004 New York Drama Critics’ Circle and the Outer Critics Circle Awards.

Meta(mor)phrases: Translation as a Transformative Act (October 3, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/112202 112202-21828588@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 3, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Classical Studies

A Vakalo Family Visiting Artist Presentation

Marios Chatziprokopiou, Assistant Professor, Department of Culture and Creative Media and Industries, University of Thessaly, Greece.

Considering translation (metáfrasis) as a metaphor (from latin translatus, that is a ‘carrying over’ or ‘carrying across’ of meaning), this presentation builds upon his own practice as a poet, performer, and translator, in order to unpack the process of translating as a key artistic methodology which can lead to metamorphotic acts. Through this perspective, which emanates from texts but also slides between the voice and the body, he will perform and discuss parts of his book ‘Topical Tropics’ (Τοπικοί Tροπικοί, Antipodes, 2019), his current projects including Schebermaschine, and his translations of Clarice Lispector into Modern Greek. Key elements are queer desire and lament; fluid genders and genres; fictive archives; corporeal biographies; polyphonic oralities; liminal vocal states; and the (im)possibilities of reappropriated myths.

Marios Chatziprokopiou has studied and worked in Spain, France, Brazil, and Wales and is currently based in Greece. Shortlisted for the State Literary Award for Best Poetry, his book ‘Topical Tropics’ (Τοπικοί Tροπικοί, Antipodes, 2019) explores issues of queer mourning and desire in connection to oral traditions. Blurring the limits between fiction and criticism, he has performed and lectured internationally. Marios has translated four books by Clarice Lispector, and has collaborated as a dramaturg with several theatre companies. Published in peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes, his research focuses on performances of migration and displacement, contemporary re-readings of the classics, performances of gender and sexuality, and rituals of lament. He works as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Culture and Creative Media and Industries at the University of Thessaly, Greece.

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.*

Have you ever succeeded at an academic task even though you were convinced that you wouldn’t do well? Do you dread others evaluating your work or avoid opportunities for critical feedback? Do you have trouble accepting praise or acknowledging your accomplishments? Do you worry about being exposed as an academic fraud? Have you ever questioned whether you belong at Michigan? Thoughts such as these are hallmarks of impostor thinking and are more common among graduate students than you realize. However, they don’t have to overshadow your academic and professional journey.
Join us for this interactive, two-hour workshop workshop, during which we will share insights from impostorism scholarship and provide research-based strategies for combatting your impostor thoughts and feelings.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

Define impostorism and highlight the variety of ways individuals and groups are most impacted.
Discuss individual, system, and institution level factors that contribute to impostorism.
Recognize maladaptive thought patterns and coping strategies that exacerbate impostor experiences.
Access tools and strategies to help interrupt your impostor cycle (all participants will receive a digital strategies workbook).

Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/gRAXn.

Esther, a gifted Black seamstress in 1905 New York City, lives in a boarding house for women, where she makes a good living sewing intimate apparel (and keeping intimate secrets) for her clients. As she saves for the kind of future with a husband and family that she can’t have with the Hasidic shopkeeper who has captured her heart, she begins a deeply personal correspondence with a mysterious suitor laboring on the Panama Canal.

Steeped in evocative historical detail, *Intimate Apparel* delves into the inner lives of characters in search of connection.

Pre-Concert Lecture: University Symphony Orchestra (October 8, 2023 6:15pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/112167 112167-21828538@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 8, 2023 6:15pm
Location: Hill Auditorium
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

This lecture begins at 6:15pm ahead of the 7:00pm USO performance.

Kenneth Kiesler, conductor
Damian Norfleet, baritone

The University Symphony Orchestra (USO), conducted by music director Kenneth Kiesler, performs a concert with two striking and dramatic works by American composers and one of the most beloved and triumphant symphonies in all of music.

The evening begins with the masterful and brilliant *Second Essay* by Samuel Barber. Written in 1942, it reflects on its tumultuous times with a storyteller’s sense of narrative and drama, and an atmosphere of resolve, affirmation, and optimism.

The *Second Essay* is followed by the first Michigan performance of Nkeiru Okoye’s *Invitation To A Die-In*, a “sung story” written in direct musical response to recent murders of unarmed Black men at the hands of police officers or vigilantes. It is at once a work for baritone and orchestra, a monodrama, and performance art. Guest baritone Damian Norfleet, performs the original text, by David Cote and the composer, which tells the story from several different perspectives--the deceased, their families, the police officers, and citizens on all sides of the issue. The music is a dramatic and stark portrait of African American men being hunted and haunted by events of the past.

This performance will be preceded by a pre-concert conversation (beginning at 6:15 pm) and intermission discussion.

*Please note: Percussion section sounds will simulate the sound of gunfire in this performance of An Invitation to a Die-In.*

The second half of the concert features the triumphant Symphony No. 1 by Brahms. “Seldom, if ever, has the entire musical world awaited a composer’s first symphony with such tense anticipation” noted Brahms’ friend and critic, Eduard Hanslick. The symphony, which makes its way from tragedy through longing to optimism and joy, more than fulfilled expectations and is one of the pillars of orchestral music.

Organized By: Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Beginning with the inception of the University of Michigan’s first Five-Year Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Strategic Plan – DEI 1.0 in 2016, the institution has held the annual DEI Summit to honor our progress and spearhead the forthcoming year’s plan of action. This marquee event facilitates the coming together of our campus community to delve into DEI-focused matters and stimulate dynamic engagement. In addition, a series of centrally organized, department-specific and student-led events serve as platforms for students, faculty, and staff to engage with DEI initiatives within their individual units and other spaces, to stimulate thoughtful discourse on methods to mitigate structural disparities within our campus and society at large.

When you hear the word “diversity”, what comes to mind? If you’re like most people, religion wasn’t your first thought, or even your second one at that. We live in a world, work jobs, attend classes, and are a part of organizations that are religiously diverse, yet this identity is often forgotten or labeled as too taboo to talk about with others. In order to be effective leaders, influencers, and DEI practitioners, we have to critically examine how we are cultivating communities that both value and engage diverse religious, spiritual, and secular (RSS) worldviews. Join us for this interactive workshop as we explore how RSS worldviews shape our experiences and the spaces that we occupy.
Learning Objectives:

Examine one’s own RSS worldview
Explore how RSS worldviews have shaped one’s own and other’s experiences
Brainstorm strategies to engage diverse RSS worldviews to cultivate inclusive communities

Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Overview: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming every aspect of our society and our lives. However, just like any emerging technology, AI’s impact varies greatly for different demographic groups, in different geographic regions, and is shaped by social conventions, culture, religion, economic realities, among many other factors. We invite everyone who is interested in understanding the impact of AI to join Marina Alsahawneh and Merve Hickok for a discussion of the impact of AI on women in the US and the Middle East. They will discuss gender biases in AI algorithms, opportunities and gender inequity in the AI-enabled workforce, and cyber-based violence against women. They will discuss how these intersect with the political, social, cultural, economic and religious features of different geographic regions.

Speakers:
Marina Alsahawneh, Gender and Inclusion Officer at Jordan Open Source Association

Merve Hickok, Responsible Data & AI Advisor, Michigan Institute for Data Science

Moderator:
Jing Liu, Executive Director, Michigan Institute for Data Science

Celebrating its tenth-anniversary season, Seraph Brass was founded by trumpet soloist Mary Elizabeth Bowden with the mission of showcasing the excellence of female brass players and highlighting musicians from marginalized groups both in personnel and in programming. Winners of the American Prize in Chamber Music, the group has been praised for their “beautiful sounds" (American Record Guide), "fine playing” (Gramophone), and “staggeringly high caliber of performance” (Textura). Now in its tenth anniversary season, Seraph primarily performs as a quintet, with a dynamic roster drawing from America’s top brass musicians.

The Susan Moore, M.D., Memorial Lecture aims to honor Dr. Moore’s memory by addressing issues related to health disparities. Dr. Moore, a graduate of the U-M Medical School who worked as a family physician in Indianapolis, died December 20, 2020, following complications from COVID-19.

Prior to her death, she posted a video to social media in which she spoke about what she described as inequitable and biased treatment from medical providers. The video gained national attention and led to renewed conversations on disparities within health care institutions.

Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

This workshop will examine how well-being and identity are interdependent. Participants will discuss how their identities shape their perceptions of wellness for themselves and others. On an individual level, how can students attend to their own well-being in a culture that doesn’t always promote it? From a leadership lens, we will look at graduate student culture and consider ways in which students have a role in influencing changes that impact student well-being.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/qGWpM.

Exposure (E. Levinas, F. Moten, K. Lamar) (October 12, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109921 109921-21823234@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 12, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Romance Languages & Literatures

This paper asks what happens when we examine Levinasian exposure—understood as performative articulation of political concepts—in light of what Fred Moten calls the “social aesthetics of Black radicalism.” It will consider Moten’s critique of Levinas while simultaneously “exposing” the notion of exposure to poetry and rhythm, which can be seen (or heard) as opening his thought beyond the limits that Moten ascribes to it.

Anti-Racism in an Abroad Context (October 19, 2023 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/110394 110394-21824865@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 19, 2023 11:30am

Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Structural racism in the United States is the normalization and legitimization of an array of dynamics—historical, cultural, institutional, and interpersonal—that routinely advantage whites while producing cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for people of color. It is a system of hierarchy and inequity, primarily characterized by white supremacy—the preferential treatment, privilege, and power for white people at the expense of other racially oppressed people. It is also important to recognize that racism is a global issue and continues to be perpetuated in societies across the globe and it manifests in many different ways at various levels. This anti-racism workshop in an abroad context aims to offer an entryway for students to engage in observing how racism plays out in different societies outside the United States, utilizing examples, particularly media representation, that may reflect deeper messages, and what it means to be anti-racist for American students who have been abroad, or may be visiting, studying, or traveling abroad.
This workshop will engage participants in the following activities:

Better understanding of the phrase “anti-racism”
Learning about race and its nuances
Recognizing how culture can shape the development of racism and power structures
Seeing how media around the world uphold oppression in different ways
Creating action steps toward actively recognizing oppression abroad

Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/ez8GX.

Composer Arlene Sierra (October 20, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/113055 113055-21829971@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 20, 2023 3:30pm
Location: Earl V. Moore Building
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

We are delighted to welcome SMTD Composition alumna Arlene Sierra back to speak to our community during a weekend featuring performances of her music. Her orchestra piece, *Kiskadee*, will be premiered this weekend by the DSO, and she will be working with the Contemporary Directions Ensemble to prepare a performance of her work on Sunday, October 22. Dr. Sierra will highlight not only artistic considerations of being a contemporary composer, she will also give “behind-the-scenes” insight into building a career as a composer.

This program is free and open to the public, and was made possible by the Sally Fleming Master Class Fund.

ABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST

ARLENE SIERRA is a London-based American composer whose music is lauded for its “highly flexible and distinctive style” (*The Guardian*), ranging from “exquisiteness and restrained power” to “combative and utterly compelling” (*Gramophone*). Notable premieres include *Nature Symphony* “memorable for its creation of wonderful sounds from a large orchestra” (Bachtrack.com) commissioned by BBC Radio 3 and the BBC Philharmonic, *Butterflies Remember a Mountain* for the Benedetti-Elschenbroich-Grynyuk Trio, described as “precisely and joyously imagined” (*The Times*, London) and performed in venues including the Concertgebouw and the BBC Proms, and a New York Philharmonic commission for chamber orchestra *Game of Attrition*, described by Time Out as “at turns spry, savage, sly and seductive… so enrapturing.” Sierra’s highly individual works have been nominated and awarded on several occasions, including the Takemitsu Composition Prize, a Charles Ives Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, PRS Composers Fund and Women Make Music awards, and a Leverhulme Research Fellowship. Her orchestral showpiece Moler was nominated for a Latin GRAMMY for Best Contemporary Classical Composition.

Arlene Sierra has composed works for the Albany, Seattle, and Utah Symphonies, the Tanglewood, Cheltenham, and Huddersfield Music Festivals, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the Bremen Philharmonic Society, and ensembles including Lontano, Psappha, International Contemporary Ensemble, and the Carducci Quartet. She has worked with conductors including Thierry Fischer, Andris Nelsons, Susanna Mälkki, Oliver Knussen, Jac Van Steen, Shiyeon Sung, Odaline de la Martinez, Jayce Ogren, Grant Llewellyn, Stefan Asbury, and Ludovic Morlot, and ensembles including the Tokyo Philharmonic, London Sinfonietta, Boston Symphony, Alabama Symphony, Österreichisches Ensemble für neue Musik, Chroma, New Juilliard Ensemble, the Fidelio, Peabody, and Horszowski Trios, and New York City Opera VOX.

Declared “a name to watch” by *BBC Music Magazine*, Sierra has been featured in portrait concerts at the Crush Room, Royal Opera House, London, the Yellow Barn Chamber Music Festival, Vermont, Composers Now at NYU, Eastman School of Music, and the Composer Portraits Series at NYC's Miller Theatre. Artist residencies and fellowships include Aldeburgh Britten-Pears, Aspen, Bowdoin, Fontainebleau, the Otto Eckstein Fellowship at Tanglewood, and the MacDowell Colony.

Her music is the subject of a series of portrait recordings by the esteemed Bridge Records label. *Arlene Sierra, Vol. 1*, recorded by the International Contemporary Ensemble, received rave reviews internationally and was featured by NPR Classical, which described its “remarkable brilliance of colour, rhythmic dexterity and playfulness.” The orchestral disc *Game of Attrition: Arlene Sierra, Vol. 2* has been praised for “vividly scored, colorful works” by *The New York Times* and described by *The Guardian* as “remarkably sure-footed… quirky and individual” and “startlingly fresh and assured.” *Gramophone* Magazine has described Sierra’s latest release *Butterflies Remember a Mountain - Arlene Sierra, Vol. 3* as “a wonderful chamber music issue that enthrals from first bar to last.” Other labels representing Sierra’s work include NMC, New Focus Recordings, and Coviello Classics.

As Utah Symphony Composer-in-Association Arlene Sierra worked closely with musicians and the community, creating a new work for youth orchestra, *Butterfly House*, and her most recent large-scale statement for orchestra, *Bird Symphony*, to audience and critical acclaim. Current projects include *Birds and Insects, Book 3*, commissioned by the Barbican Centre for pianist Sarah Cahill, and *Kiskadee*, a Toulmin Foundation commission for the Detroit Symphony with further scheduled performances with the Dallas, Illinois, Louisiana, and Wheeling Symphonies.

"American Patriots" The Recital, Samantha Williams, mezzo-soprano (October 22, 2023 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/113056 113056-21829972@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 22, 2023 8:00pm
Location: Earl V. Moore Building
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

*American Patriots* is a theatrical song-cycle that captures the contemporary American zeitgeist from four vastly different perspectives: African-American, Native American, New American, and white Working-Class American.

Featuring newly commissioned songs set to the unaltered text of interviews with 40 Americans, *American Patriots* takes an unflinching look at the lived reality of American ideals today.

Touring in both a recital and fully-staged format, *American Patriots* asks audiences to practice radical empathy and to actively critique the way they think about race, class, and who this country is for. The unique styles of five composers create a dynamic auditory experience that is at times classical, jazzy, broadway, funny, serious, and alarming but always engaging and unexpected.

This project was funded by The Presser Foundation, the National Center for Institutional Diversity, the Center for World Performance Studies, and the University of Michigan EXCEL Lab.

This semester's (Fall 2023) project is a sound installation at the Music School Pond, centered around the topic of the Underground Railroad. We have carefully curated a collection of audio samples, including names of people who played a part in this significant chapter of history (abolitionists, conductors, and freedom seekers), as well as snippets of music that represent the URR. The installation aims to immerse the audience in the aural experience and engage them in interaction.

Join us anytime October 24-28, 12-7pm. (Closed when raining.)

The installation involves utilizing a remote-controlled boat on the Music Pond. We developed a project workflow that treats the pond as a navigational 'map.' Within the pond, we've designated specific locations such that when the remote control boat passes over them, it activates one of the audio samples from our collection. This approach enables active audience participation, with individuals taking control of the boat, effectively making the audience an integral component of our installation.

We believe that leveraging the Music Pond, a shared space for many within the SMTD community, and to actively involve the audience will encourage people to explore and wonder about the installation. It presents a valuable opportunity for visitors to reflect on the Underground Railroad (maybe even plant a seed), take a moment to honor the individuals who played a role in this historical chapter, and contemplate its significance.

Rethinking Disability and the Divine Image: Resisting Ableism, Queering Kinship (October 24, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/113451 113451-21831027@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 24, 2023 4:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Judaic Studies

The assertion that humanity is made in the image of God has long been a linchpin of Jewish ethical thought, grounding contemporary commitments to human rights, racial justice, gender equity, disability affirmation, and more. But "divine image" traditions rest on a troubling intellectual history, one that traffics in human exceptionalism, anthropocentrism, and intense ableism. This talk critically examines that complex history and imagines richer alternatives, showing how queer, feminist, and ecologically-informed disability wisdom can catalyze a radical recognition of the sacred among human, animal, and earthy kin.

About Julia:

Julia Watts Belser (she/her) is professor of Jewish Studies at Georgetown University and core faculty in Georgetown’s Disability Studies program, as well as a rabbi and longtime activist for disability and gender justice. Her research centers on gender, sexuality, and disability in rabbinic literature; she also brings classical Jewish texts into conversation with disability studies, feminist and queer theory, and environmental justice. She is the author of several scholarly books, including Rabbinic Tales of Destruction: Gender, Sex, and Disability in the Ruins of Jerusalem (Oxford University Press, 2018). Her latest book is Loving Our Own Bones: Disability Wisdom and the Spiritual Subversiveness of Knowing Ourselves Whole (Beacon Press, 2023).

Come learn how drawing and swapping stories can help us appreciate differences—no art skills are required! People worldwide enjoy sharing a good story as much as listening to one. In this hands-on workshop, led by Stamps School of Art & Design associate professor Kelly Murdoch-Kitt and her research partner, Dr. Denielle Emans (Roger Williams University), you’ll learn how to use a specific visual storytelling activity, The Picture Story Shuffle.

This activity harnesses the inclusive power of visual thinking to help teams move beyond surface-level small talk and enable them to tap into each other’s perspectives in a tangible, interactive way. Visual thinking is the process of translating thoughts or ideas into pictures, diagrams, or other visual forms. Creating, sharing, and interpreting visual narratives centers participants’ backgrounds and experiences by giving them visual form. Join us and members of our research team, ORBIT Labs, to learn firsthand how the Picture Story Shuffle has helped classmates, teammates, officemates, and conference attendees get to know each other better, share a laugh, and reveal the potential for visual thinking and storytelling to enhance how we work and communicate.

How Do We Begin: A Historical Reckoning with Anti-Black Racism at U-M (October 26, 2023 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/109359 109359-21821925@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 26, 2023 11:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Written by guest playwright and U-M alumnx Jordan Harris, this short series of plays illuminates U-M’s complicated relationship to elitism and racial inequity. Using Matthew Johnson’s book Undermining Racial Justice (a historical analysis of the admissions processes at U-M) as an entry point, the play examines how American colleges and universities—and U-M specifically—have perpetuated anti-Blackness while simultaneously benefiting from their association with inclusive values. Through a series of facilitated discussion and activities, participants will wrestle with a central question: with an understanding of our inequitable past and present, how will we imagine and pursue a racially just future?
The session length is two hours. How Do We Begin is currently offered in a fully virtual, synchronous format.
**The theatrical portion of this session deals directly with anti-Black racism in the academy and its disproportionate impacts.
In this session, participants will:

Reflect on their experience, agency, and accountability within this history/present.
Unpack crucial disconnects between institutional rhetoric and action.
Practice brainstorming ways to disrupt anti-Black racism in their professional practice.

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

This semester's (Fall 2023) project is a sound installation at the Music School Pond, centered around the topic of the Underground Railroad. We have carefully curated a collection of audio samples, including names of people who played a part in this significant chapter of history (abolitionists, conductors, and freedom seekers), as well as snippets of music that represent the URR. The installation aims to immerse the audience in the aural experience and engage them in interaction.

Join us anytime October 24-28, 12-7pm. (Closed when raining.)

The installation involves utilizing a remote-controlled boat on the Music Pond. We developed a project workflow that treats the pond as a navigational 'map.' Within the pond, we've designated specific locations such that when the remote control boat passes over them, it activates one of the audio samples from our collection. This approach enables active audience participation, with individuals taking control of the boat, effectively making the audience an integral component of our installation.

We believe that leveraging the Music Pond, a shared space for many within the SMTD community, and to actively involve the audience will encourage people to explore and wonder about the installation. It presents a valuable opportunity for visitors to reflect on the Underground Railroad (maybe even plant a seed), take a moment to honor the individuals who played a role in this historical chapter, and contemplate its significance.

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Students commemorate the antisemitic attack at the Tree of Life – Or L'Simcha Congregation synagogue (Pittsburgh, PA) on its fifth anniversary.

Carson Landry, Eric Whitmer, & Nat Oliven perform a recital on the Charles Baird Carillon, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell, which strikes the hour, weighs 12 tons, while the smallest bell, 4½ octaves above, weighs just 15 pounds.

Thirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8), and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Earplugs are available from the carillonist upon request. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon: https://smtd.umich.edu/facilities/ann-and-robert-h-lurie-carillon/

The Inherent Tension between Managerial and Professional Knowledge (October 27, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/114361 114361-21832791@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 27, 2023 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Professional workers, especially in health care and education, are among the least happy, most burnt-out categories of workers. This should be surprising, given that what they do is inherently meaningful, and that the content of their work is interesting and engages skills that most people find intrinsically rewarding to exercise. I argue that the discontent of so many professionals is likely due to their increasing proletarianization. As professionals become increasingly submerged as employees in large organizations, often operated on a for-profit basis, they suffer losses of professional autonomy. The organizations they work for operate on a managerial logic that disdains and suppresses the kinds of local, personal, practical knowledge that professionals cultivate and need to exercise to do their jobs well. I explore the contrasts between the kind of knowledge managers use to pursue organizational goals and the kind of knowledge professionals use in their everyday interactions with patients, students, and clients, to explain the pervasive burnout of professionals in large organizations.

Location: Hill Auditorium
Organized By: University Musical Society (UMS)

Carlos Miguel Prieto, celebrated as a rising star both domestically and abroad, was named 2019 Conductor of the Year by Musical America and is the foremost Mexican conductor of his generation. He serves as artistic director of México City’s Minería Symphony, which was founded in the 1970s and is widely regarded as the leading musical institution in México — one that regularly supports and programs Mexican composers. Housed at the Academia de Música del Palacio de Minería, the name honors the period from the 18th century when mining was one of the region’s most important economic activities.

Joining the Minería Symphony in their first Ann Arbor performance is Latin Grammy Award-winning pianist/composer Gabriela Montero, a frequent Prieto collaborator. Montero, known for her passionate virtuosity and brilliant improvisation, performs her first piano concerto, a soulful work showing the complexities of South American life. “Montero’s playing has everything: crackling rhythmic brio, subtle shadings, steely power in climactic moments, soulful lyricism in the ruminative passages and, best of all, unsentimental expressivity.” (The New York Times)

The concert includes works by two Mexican composers: Carlos Chávez (1899- 1978), an ethnomusicologist whose Sinfonía India reflects the harmonies, rhythms, melodies, and instruments of the Indian cultures of Mexico, and Silvestre Revueltas, whose concert suite La noche de los mayas depicts Mexico’s preColumbian heritage and is drawn from his highly-regarded 1939 film score.

PROGRAM
Gabriela Ortiz Kauyumari
Carlos Chávez Symphony No. 2 (“Sinfonía India”)
Gabriela Montero Piano Concerto No. 1 (“Latin”)

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

This workshop will share the outcomes of the 2018 U-M Native American Student Task Committee (NASTC) report as a point of departure to discuss evidence-based practices for supporting Native American students in higher education.
Because the first recommendation is to institutionalize the decolonizing practice of territorial acknowledgment, this workshop will examine the practice as well as consider the critiques and discourse around it, especially by Native American and indigenous scholars.
The workshop will then conclude with an exploration of other indigenizing and decolonizing practices that can support the academic success and educational attainment of Native American students, including campus smudging policies, supporting sense of place and belonging, and the #landback movement.
Learning Objectives:

Overview of the recommendations from the NASTC report
Examination of the practice of territorial acknowledgment and the current critique and discourse
Exploration of authentic indigenizing and decolonizing practices to support Native American students in higher education

The 2023 Robert J. Berkhofer Lecture (November 2, 2023 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/113589 113589-21831192@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 2, 2023 6:30pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Native American Studies

The Native American Studies program at University of Michigan proudly presents author Angeline Boulley (Sault Ste. Marie Chippewa) as the 2023 Robert J. Berkhofer Lecturer.

Angeline Boulley, an enrolled member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, is a storyteller who writes about her Ojibwe community in Michiganʻs Upper Peninsula. She is a former Director of the Office of Indian Education at the U.S. Department of Education.
Previously she served as Education Director for her tribe, and also serfed on the Board of Regents at Bay Mills Community College. Angeline lives in southwest Michigan, but her home will always be on Sugar Island.

Firekeeperʻs Daughter, her debut novel, was an instant #1 NYT Bestseller, and is the 2023-24 Michigan Humanities Great Michigan Read selection. The book has been named the Walter Dean Myers Award for Outstanding Childrenʻs Literature, the Printz Award, the William C. Morris award for YA debut literature, and was an American Indian Youth Literature Award Honor Book. Her second novel, Warrior Girl Unearthed, was released in May 2023.

The Berkhofer Lecture series (named for a former U-M professor and founder of the field of Native American studies) was established in 2014 by an alumni gift from the Dan and Carmen Brenner family of Seattle, Washington. In close consultation with the Brenners, Native American Studies created a public lecture series featuring prominent, marquee speakers who would draw audiences from different communities—faculty; students, Ann Arbor; Detroit, and Michigan
tribal communities as well as writers and readers generally. The Berkhofer Lectures are grand affairs, drawing over three hundred in attendance at each event. With the event now streamed online, our audiences are worldwide. Past speakers include literary giants N. Scott Momaday, Joy Harjo, and Gerald Vizenor. Our focus has shifted more recently to highlight emerging Indigenous literary talent including Mary Kathryn Nagle, and Tommy Orange. Most recently we presented biologist and MacArthur Foundation Fellow Robin Wall Kimmerer.

Native American students at U-M have long expressed their desire for greater Native Americans visibility both on campus and off, and we believe that the Berkhofer Lecture takes a meaningful step in that direction. The statewide publicity generated has also become a valuable recruitment incentive for Native American students. Most obviously, the speakers we invite have greatly enhanced the mission and work of Native American Studies at U-M.

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: Hill Auditorium
Organized By: University Musical Society (UMS)

Since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the world has become more attuned to the incredible bravery, resilience, and determination of the Ukrainian people. The folk-punk quartet DakhaBrakha embraces and reflects the fundamental elements of sound and soul, creating a world of unexpected new music. The group’s name is original, outstanding, and authentic at the same time, meaning “give/take” in the old Ukrainian language and signaling the group’s unique brand of musical “ethno-chaos.”

Created in 2004 by an avant-garde theater director, their shows include scenic effects, traditional instrumentation, and an astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range that creates an exuberant, transnational sound rooted in Ukrainian culture. “Musically, the whole experience is a riotous explosion of color and reinvention. The classic Eastern European folk base is there, with belting, complex, and hypnotic harmonies.” (Hackney Citizen, UK)

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).

What happens to your spiritual and religious beliefs over time? Seventeen years after the 2002 documentary WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE? in which six diverse American teenagers shared their spiritual struggles and aspirations, we revisit them to reveal how their beliefs have changed.

In this new “before and after” film WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE NOW? a Catholic, Pagan, Jew, Muslim, Lakota, and Buddhist offer their deeply personal faith journeys, life challenges, and evolving ideas about higher powers, life purpose, the nature of suffering, religious intolerance and death. They do so against the backdrop of a society in flux and amidst growing religious polarization and disengagement.

Designed to be a stand-alone film, WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE NOW? is an invaluable addition to any discussion on religious diversity and millennial spirituality in America.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

During this talk, Lorgia García Peña will discuss community building and public scholarship by focusing on her book Community as Rebellion.
Community as Rebellion offers a meditation on creating liberatory spaces for students and faculty of color within academia. García Peña argues that the classroom is key to freedom-making in the university, urging teachers to consider activism and social justice as central to what she calls “teaching in freedom”: a progressive form of collective learning that prioritizes the subjugated knowledge, silenced histories, and epistemologies from the Global South and Indigenous, Black, and brown communities. By teaching in and for freedom, we not only acknowledge the harm that the university has inflicted on our persons and our ways of knowing since its inception, but also create alternative ways to be, create, live, and succeed through our work.
Lorgia García Peña is a writer, activist, and scholar who specializes in Latinx studies with a focus on Black Latinidades. García Peña received a Ph.D. in American culture from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and an M.A. in Latin American and Latino literatures from Rutgers University. Currently, she serves as a professor in the Department of African American Studies and the Effron Center for the Study of America at Princeton University.

Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

Pregnancy Justice president Lourdes Rivera delivers the 2023 Omenn-Darling Health Policy keynote address alongside Professor Paula Lantz on the landscape of reproductive rights in the U.S., both legally and through a racial and social justice lens.

This event is made possible in part through the generous support of the Gilbert S. Omenn and Martha A. Darling Health Policy Fund.

From the speaker's bio
Lourdes A. Rivera is the new President of Pregnancy Justice where she leads a team to ensure that no one loses their rights because of pregnancy by advocating for and defending people charged with pregnancy-related crimes and other rights violations. This includes combating the escalating threats since the fall of Roe v. Wade, advocating for the rights and full personhood of all pregnant people, cultivating deeper partnerships, and ensuring that the powerful voices of those with most at stake are at the table.

She recently was a Senior Vice President at the Center for Reproductive Rights, where she led the Center’s legal and policy programs in the U.S. During her tenure, she oversaw implementation of multi-prong approaches for Supreme Court, lower federal court, and state court cases, as well as efforts to adopt federal and state legislation to ensure the rights and access to abortion, assisted reproduction, and maternal health. She was also an adjunct Professor at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, where she guest lectured and taught a graduate level course in Health and Human Rights.

Prior to joining the Center in January 2017, Lourdes served as a Senior Program Officer at the Ford Foundation, where she designed and implemented their U.S. and global grantmaking strategy in sexual and reproductive health and rights, using an intersectional social justice and human rights approach. Before joining Ford, she was a Managing Attorney at the National Health Law Program and specialized in issues relating to low-income people’s access to health care in the Medicaid program, as well as in managed care and women’s and children’s health. Previously, she worked as a Senior Associate with the Children’s Defense Fund, Health Division, and a Georgetown Women’s Law and Public Policy Fellow with the National Women’s Law Center, where she co-led a Women in Prison Project at the Lorton Virginia Minimum Security Annex.

Lourdes is a Fellow with the American Bar Foundation and has received a presidential committee appointment as a member of the American Bar Association’s (ABA) Coalition on Racial and Ethnic Justice. She is a former Council Member of the ABA’s Civil Rights and Social Justice Section (formerly Individual Rights and Responsibilities) and former co-chair of the Section’s Health Rights and Bioethics Committee.

She is currently President of the Brush Foundation and a Board member of the National Health Law Program. Lourdes is a co-founder and former Board chair of California Latinas for Reproductive Justice; former member of the Management Circle of Sister Song Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective; former Board Chair of the National Women’s Health Network; and a co-founder and former Board Member of the Groundswell Fund.

Lourdes has a J.D. from Yale Law School and a B.A. in Latin American Studies from Yale University.

Nour Ballout (b. 1993, Beirut) is a Detroit & Chicago based interdisciplinary artist and curator. They received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Wayne State University and an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). Nour Ballout’s practice grapples with the ways looking can manifest as both resistance and violence while negotiating the tensions among visibility, documentation and surveillance. Through photography, archive and space making, their work interrogates the ways the naturalization of structures of power manifest within bodies, built environments, and communities.

Nour currently serves on the Detroit Institute of Arts contemporary arts advisory group. They are the recipient of many awards, fellowships and grants that include the 2023 Modern Ancient Brown Fellowship, the ICI EXPO Curatorial Research Fellowship, the 2022 Michigan Arts and Cultural Council Grant, the 2021 Transforming Power Fund Grant, the 2019 Knight Arts Challenge Award, Kresge Arts in Detroit Gilda Award and many more. Nour has exhibited their work nationally and participated in several artist residencies including the Ghana Think Tank in Detroit, Flux Factory in New York and plans to participate in the Kala Arts Institute Residency in 2023.

Holding Places Exhibition by Satchel Lee (November 9, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/114012 114012-21832148@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 9, 2023 9:00am

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).

Since WWI and before, women have served vital supportive roles in the U.S. military. Now women are serving along side their male counterparts in some of the most dangerous work in the military. Often they have to overcome sexist stereotypes, sexual harassment or worse all while serving their country. Come and hear their stories of perseverance, grit and courage when they honorably served in the U.S. military.

DSI Esports Symposium | #TechFail: From Intersectional (In)Accessibility to Inclusive Design (November 10, 2023 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/110935 110935-21825881@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 10, 2023 11:00am
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.
