Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: University Library

This exhibit explores the creativity and utility of an essential part of practically every modern book, the title page. Such pages signal and inform, incite pleasure and intrigue, as well as conceal and mislead. The works shown here from the holdings of the University of Michigan Library illuminate critical moments in the history of books. Students in a Fall 2022 History Lab class researched and created the exhibit.

The exhibit is available for viewing in the Special Collections Research Center (on the sixth floor of the Hatcher Library), Monday-Friday, 10am-4:30pm.

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

As we celebrate the library’s centennial, this exhibit is an attempt to answer a question asked often by visitors, how do you decide what to acquire to add to your collections.

It builds on the landmark publication of the library’s 75th anniversary, One Hundred and One Treasures From the Collections of the William L. Clements Library, edited by former library director John Dann. This exhibit—and its expanded online version—pairs items from 101 Treasures with related items that have for the most part been acquired since 1998. Those that were acquired earlier are items about which we’ve learned new things in the intervening 25 years.

Clay as Soft Power: Shigaraki Ware in Postwar America and Japan (May 7, 2023 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95702 95702-21790573@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, May 7, 2023 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Explore The Uncharted History of How Pottery Transformed Global Relations

Clay As Soft Power examines how Shigaraki ware ceramics transformed the American public’s image of Japan, helping the country shift its identity from World War II enemy to Cold War ally to global cultural change maker.  Known for its earthy tones, rough clay surfaces, and natural ash glazes, Shigaraki wares originated from one of six ancient kilns of Japan, and has a rich history from the 13th century to today. This exhibition explores three distinct periods of that history, telling a story of global intrigue, covert international relations, and the evolution of this uniquely Japanese art form.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost, the Japan World Exposition 1970 Commemorative Fund, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the U-M Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation, James M. Trapp, Nancy and Joe Keithley, and the William C. Weese, M.D. Endowment for Ceramic Arts.

This exhibit explores the creativity and utility of an essential part of practically every modern book, the title page. Such pages signal and inform, incite pleasure and intrigue, as well as conceal and mislead. The works shown here from the holdings of the University of Michigan Library illuminate critical moments in the history of books. Students in a Fall 2022 History Lab class researched and created the exhibit.

The exhibit is available for viewing in the Special Collections Research Center (on the sixth floor of the Hatcher Library), Monday-Friday, 10am-4:30pm.

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

As we celebrate the library’s centennial, this exhibit is an attempt to answer a question asked often by visitors, how do you decide what to acquire to add to your collections.

It builds on the landmark publication of the library’s 75th anniversary, One Hundred and One Treasures From the Collections of the William L. Clements Library, edited by former library director John Dann. This exhibit—and its expanded online version—pairs items from 101 Treasures with related items that have for the most part been acquired since 1998. Those that were acquired earlier are items about which we’ve learned new things in the intervening 25 years.

Seminar: Explaining Variation of Colonial Narratives in Postcolonial States: Denunciation and Valorization in Southeast Asia (May 17, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/108048 108048-21818884@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, May 17, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Center for Political Studies - Institute for Social Research

Research on the negative impacts of colonialism is well-established across the social sciences. In spite of this, considerable variation exists in how postcolonial states situate their colonial histories within national narratives. Some states frame their colonial experience negatively, denouncing their former colonizers and highlighting anticolonialism as inherent to nationalism. Yet other states highlight the positive elements of colonial rule, valorizing imperial institutions and situating their national identity in continuity with the colonial past. We argue that the way independence was achieved explains this variation: Countries that achieved independence through conflict developed negative frames denouncing their colonial past, while countries that achieved independence through peaceful transition developed positive frames valorizing their former colonizers. Qualitative evidence from three Southeast Asian countries and quantitative analysis on a global dataset of postcolonial states corroborates the theory.

Join us at ISR Thompson Room 6080 on Wednesday, May 17 from 12 to 1:30. A graduate discussion follows from 1:30 to 2:30.

This seminar is co-sponsored by the Center for Political Studies at the Institute for Social Research (CPS) and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS).

As we celebrate the library’s centennial, this exhibit is an attempt to answer a question asked often by visitors, how do you decide what to acquire to add to your collections.

It builds on the landmark publication of the library’s 75th anniversary, One Hundred and One Treasures From the Collections of the William L. Clements Library, edited by former library director John Dann. This exhibit—and its expanded online version—pairs items from 101 Treasures with related items that have for the most part been acquired since 1998.

Location: Burnham House
Organized By: Bentley Historical Library

The Romantic Life at U of M Walking Tour takes you through some of the beautiful and notable portions of the Nichols Arboretum starting at the Peony Garden, as well as a few of the dorms surrounding the Detroit Observatory, where the tour ends. While you learn about the history surrounding these spots, you will also get to hear some stories of the romantic lives of some of our faculty, students, and alumni, as well as some other historical facts about events and lives here at the University of Michigan campus, with an accompanying slideshow filled with photos, scrapbook pages, and letters.

The tour is about 1.5 hours long with a total of a 1.3 mile walk. It should be noted that a portion of the walking tour has a steep hill, though there are stairs at the steepest section. Please also prepare for the weather, as it can be very hot or rainy during tours.

The starting point will be outside the Peony Garden entrance, at the Burnham House located at 1610 Washington Hts Ann Arbor, MI 48109.

Parking is available along the street on Washington Hts, or up off of Observatory St near Forest Hill Cemetery.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

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.

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

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

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

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

Location: Burnham House
Organized By: Bentley Historical Library

The Romantic Life at U of M Walking Tour takes you through some of the beautiful and notable portions of the Nichols Arboretum starting at the Peony Garden, as well as a few of the dorms surrounding the Detroit Observatory, where the tour ends. While you learn about the history surrounding these spots, you will also get to hear some stories of the romantic lives of some of our faculty, students, and alumni, as well as some other historical facts about events and lives here at the University of Michigan campus, with an accompanying slideshow filled with photos, scrapbook pages, and letters.

The tour is about 1.5 hours long with a total of a 1.3 mile walk. It should be noted that a portion of the walking tour has a steep hill, though there are stairs at the steepest section. Please also prepare for the weather, as it can be very hot or rainy during tours.

The starting point will be outside the Peony Garden entrance, at the Burnham House located at 1610 Washington Hts Ann Arbor, MI 48109.

Parking is available along the street on Washington Hts, or up off of Observatory St near Forest Hill Cemetery.

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

As we celebrate the library’s centennial, this exhibit is an attempt to answer a question asked often by visitors, how do you decide what to acquire to add to your collections.

It builds on the landmark publication of the library’s 75th anniversary, One Hundred and One Treasures From the Collections of the William L. Clements Library, edited by former library director John Dann. This exhibit—and its expanded online version—pairs items from 101 Treasures with related items that have for the most part been acquired since 1998. Those that were acquired earlier are items about which we’ve learned new things in the intervening 25 years.

The Clements Bookworm: Prints of a New Kind: Political Caricature in the United States, 1789-1828 (July 21, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/108879 108879-21820506@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, July 21, 2023 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Prints of a New Kind details the political strategies and scandals that inspired the first generation of American caricaturists to share news and opinions with their audiences in shockingly radical ways. Complementing studies on British and European printmaking, this book is a survey and catalogue of all known American political caricatures created in the country’s transformative early years, as the nation sought to define itself in relation to European models of governance and artistry.
Allison Stagg is a researcher and lecturer in the Department of Architecture and Art History at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany.

On the third Friday of the month, the Clements Library hosts a virtual Bookworm program that gathers authors, collectors, fellows and University staff for a conversation on a variety of history topics. Inspired by the traditional Clements Library Tea Time, attendees are encouraged to post comments and questions, respond to polls, and add to the conversation. On August 18th, the Bookworm will host U-M Professor Jason Young, curator of Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina--an exhibition that will open at UMMA on August 26th. 

Hear Me Now is a landmark exhibition of more than 60 objects representing the work of African American potters in the decades surrounding the Civil War. The exhibition features monumental storage jars by the enslaved and literate potter and poet Dave, later recorded as David Drake (about 1800–about 1870), while the inclusion of several contemporary works from leading Black artists links the past to the present. Working primarily in clay, these artists respond to the legacy of the Edgefield potters and consider the resonance of this history for audiences today.

For more information, please call The Clements Library at 734-764-2347 or visit https://clements.umich.edu/public-programs/bookworm.

Join exhibition co-curator and U-M Associate Professor of History Jason Young for an exploration of the dynamic exhibition Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina. Hear Me Now centers around the complicated history and continuing legacy of an African American ceramic tradition that emerged out of the plantation economies of Edgefield, South Carolina. As an artistic tradition rooted in the history of American slavery, the exhibition highlights the tangled histories of race, slavery and art in this country. The exhibition features historic work including monumental storage jars by the enslaved and literate potter and poet Dave, later recorded as David Drake as well as leading contemporary Black artists who have responded to or whose practice resonates with the Edgefield story. Established figures like Theaster Gates and Simone Leigh, as well as younger, emerging artists like Adebunmi Gbadebo, Woody De Othello, and Robert Pruitt, have contributed to the show. Working primarily in clay, these artists respond to the legacy of the Edgefield potters and consider the resonance of this history for audiences today.

Hear Me Now is organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, with support from the Terra Foundation for American Art and the Henry Luce Foundation.

Lead support for UMMA's presentation of the exhibition is provided by Michigan Engineering, the U-M Office of the Provost, the U-M Office of the President, the Americana Foundation, the U-M College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, the U-M Inclusive History Project, and Michigan Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by Larry and Brenda Thompson and Melissa Kaish and Jonathan Dorfman.

The Other 9-11: Reflections on the Anniversary of the 1973 Coup in Chile. “Secrets of State: The Declassified History of the Chilean Dictatorship” Exhibit (August 28, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/111387 111387-21826931@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, August 28, 2023 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

The documents in this exhibit were declassified and made public as a result of years of research and FOIA advocacy by those promoting openness, particularly members of the National Security Archive. In the wake of the historic arrest in London of General Pinochet in October 1998, their efforts, among others, led President Bill Clinton to launch a special Chile Declassification Project in 1999 and the eventual release of over 24,000 formerly top secret documents.

Curated by Peter Kornbluh (Director of the Chile Documentation Project at the National Security Archive, an NGO dedicated to freedom of information and transparency), this exhibit was co-designed by Eimeel Castillo (Ph.D. Candidate in History and Women’s and Gender Studies) and Victoria Langland (Associate Professor of History).

As we celebrate the library’s centennial, this exhibit is an attempt to answer a question asked often by visitors, how do you decide what to acquire to add to your collections.

It builds on the landmark publication of the library’s 75th anniversary, One Hundred and One Treasures From the Collections of the William L. Clements Library, edited by former library director John Dann. This exhibit—and its expanded online version—pairs items from 101 Treasures with related items that have for the most part been acquired since 1998. Those that were acquired earlier are items about which we’ve learned new things in the intervening 25 years.

The Other 9-11: Reflections on the Anniversary of the 1973 Coup in Chile. “Secrets of State: The Declassified History of the Chilean Dictatorship” Exhibit (September 1, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/111387 111387-21826962@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 1, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

The documents in this exhibit were declassified and made public as a result of years of research and FOIA advocacy by those promoting openness, particularly members of the National Security Archive. In the wake of the historic arrest in London of General Pinochet in October 1998, their efforts, among others, led President Bill Clinton to launch a special Chile Declassification Project in 1999 and the eventual release of over 24,000 formerly top secret documents.

Curated by Peter Kornbluh (Director of the Chile Documentation Project at the National Security Archive, an NGO dedicated to freedom of information and transparency), this exhibit was co-designed by Eimeel Castillo (Ph.D. Candidate in History and Women’s and Gender Studies) and Victoria Langland (Associate Professor of History).

CSAS Lecture Series | Tata: The Global Corporation That Built Indian Capitalism (September 8, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96920 96920-21793568@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 8, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

From one of many merchant families in the colonial port city of Bombay, making their fortunes in the cotton and opium trades, the Tata business group ascended to the commanding heights of the Indian national economy by the time of independence in 1947 - and has remained at or near the top ever since. Tata companies spun textiles, forged steel, generated hydroelectric power, and took to the skies by pioneering air travel. In parallel, Tata-funded philanthropic institutions channelled transnational technology and knowledge flows in the realms of engineering, social science, medicine, and atomic research. What explains this extraordinary resilience and diversification? What contestations and contradictions does it mask? Mircea Raianu's book argues that private corporations like Tata played a crucial role in the development of Indian capitalism by assuming quasi-sovereign functions – at times acting like a state, at other times in direct opposition to state aims. Tata was both a “surrogate state” and a “state within a state” wielding power over domains of its own: company towns, model villages, scientific laboratories, and universities. This talk explores the evolution of this fraught state-capital relationship in times of transition and crisis.

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.

It builds on the landmark publication of the library’s 75th anniversary, One Hundred and One Treasures From the Collections of the William L. Clements Library, edited by former library director John Dann. This exhibit—and its expanded online version—pairs items from 101 Treasures with related items that have for the most part been acquired since 1998. Those that were acquired earlier are items about which we’ve learned new things in the intervening 25 years.

The Other 9-11: Reflections on the Anniversary of the 1973 Coup in Chile. “Secrets of State: The Declassified History of the Chilean Dictatorship” Exhibit (September 13, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/111387 111387-21826947@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 13, 2023 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

The documents in this exhibit were declassified and made public as a result of years of research and FOIA advocacy by those promoting openness, particularly members of the National Security Archive. In the wake of the historic arrest in London of General Pinochet in October 1998, their efforts, among others, led President Bill Clinton to launch a special Chile Declassification Project in 1999 and the eventual release of over 24,000 formerly top secret documents.

Curated by Peter Kornbluh (Director of the Chile Documentation Project at the National Security Archive, an NGO dedicated to freedom of information and transparency), this exhibit was co-designed by Eimeel Castillo (Ph.D. Candidate in History and Women’s and Gender Studies) and Victoria Langland (Associate Professor of History).

EIHS Lecture: Who “Invented” Identity Politics?: The Role of Twentieth Century Frameworks and Histories in the Twenty-First Century Debate (September 14, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/108401 108401-21819543@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 14, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

One of the striking features of contemporary political commentary and related historical work is the denunciation of "identity politics" by those on both the right and the left of the political spectrum. Both sides in the debate deploy historical understandings of “when” identity politics was “invented,” but neither is very self-conscious about the histories they deploy or the history of those histories. More than they may realize, a politically informed search for and claims about an “unidentified” political subject, beginning in the “Progressive” era and continuing through the twentieth century, has hugely influenced perspectives on both “sides” of the twentieth century debate.

Terrence J. (Terry) McDonald has returned to the University of Michigan Department of History after serving as interim and permanent dean of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts for eleven years and director of the Bentley Historical Library for nine. As professor of history and Arthur F. Thurnau Professor he has written and taught in the history of the American city and is currently finishing a book manuscript contracted by the University of Chicago Press entitled: “Close Encounters: Jane Addams, Johnny Powers, and the Progressive Political Imagination.”

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

Making Michigan: A City's Conscience:The Life and Career of Josephine Gomon (September 14, 2023 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/111364 111364-21826894@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 14, 2023 7:00pm
Location: Detroit Observatory
Organized By: Bentley Historical Library

Teacher, columnist, social justice activist, politician, advisor, director of several public agencies, and more: Ann Arbor native and U-M alum Josephine Fellows Gomon (LSA 1913) had an impact on Detroit, on Michigan, and on social justice across the nation -- an impact matched by few others. Join us for a presentation by Michelle McClellan and learn about Gomon's life and work in the context of women's roles in the early and mid 20th century, including her involvement in the birth control movement and her service as director of women personnel at the Willow Run bomber plant during WWII. Find out why the Detroit Free Press called her "the City's Conscience."

Michelle McClellan is the Johanna Meijer Magoon Principal Archivist at the Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan. She serves as the field archivist for the Michigan Historical Collections, aiming to preserve diverse stories from across the state. Michelle earned her Ph.D. in American history from Stanford University and her M.S.I. from the University of Michigan. Before coming to the Bentley, Michelle worked in academia, museums, and historic preservation. She has published on the history of women and medicine, on “Little House” heritage tourism, and on how museums and historic sites can highlight formerly hidden stories. Most recently, she co-authored “Not Even Past: Archiving 2020 in Real Time” with Aprille McKay, which appeared in the volume Being Human during COVID-19 (University of Michigan Press, 2021).

For those attending in person, the event will be followed by tours of the Observatory, with observing if weather permits.

EIHS Symposium: Back from the Archives: Identity, Culture, and the Politics of Writing History (September 15, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/108411 108411-21819553@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 15, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

The recent explosion, or perhaps just greater visibility, of ethno-racial, ethno-religious, and other nationalist projects that seek to tightly intertwine identity and culture underscore the necessity of re-examining and freshly analyzing the connections between culture and identity. This nexus, though extraordinarily durable, is also mutable over time, putting the practice of history in dialogue with new or transformed communities of interest who have claims on shifting visions of culture. Our three panelists, all freshly back from a year immersed in their own research, are well positioned to explore how the conventions of history and its writing both facilitate and impede these endeavors as they discuss how they must both lean on and push against history.

Panelists:

• Farina Mir (Associate Professor, History, University of Michigan)
• Ian Moyer (Associate Professor, History, University of Michigan)
• Carina Ray (A.M. and H.P. Bentley Chair in African History and Associate Professor of History, University of Michigan)
• Valerie A. Kivelson (moderator; Thomas N. Tentler Collegiate Professor; Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of History, University of Michigan)

Location: The Law Quad
Organized By: Bentley Historical Library

Have you ever wondered about the history of the buildings that sit in the middle of campus that many associate with the Renaissance, east coast Ivy Leagues, or even Hogwarts?

This walking tour seeks to familiarize you not only with the illustrious, imposing architecture of the Law Quadrangle here at the University of Michigan but also with the historic presence of the Law School itself. Over the course of 1.5 hours, we will discuss the conception of the buildings themselves, the winding roads it took to get there, and the Law School’s many years of influence on social issues and legal education as we stroll through the Quad. Join us as we uncover stories and debunk myths about the distinctive University of Michigan Law Quadrangle.

The tour starts on the southeast corner of State St. and N University. Please dress weather appropriate.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Department of History

Please join Professor G.N. Devy for a presentation on two recent, major intellectual initiatives that pose significant challenges to the ongoing politicization of language, community, and history in contemporary India.
 
The first project is the massive, People’s Linguistic Survey of India (published by Orient Blackswan, 2013-23), a 50+-volume survey of more than 780 languages currently spoken in India today, many of which now struggle for recognition and preservation, as perceived by the people who speak them.
 
The second, The Indians: Histories of a Civilization (published by Aleph, 2023), is a seven-part history of India spanning more than 12,000 years, with contributions from more than 100 of South Asia’s most prominent historians and ethnographers, including two U-M faculty members (professors emeriti Thomas Trautmann and Madhav Deshpande).
 
G.N. Devy organized and edited both of these ambitious and historically important projects. Both projects creatively draw a bright line under the intimate relation between democracy and diversity, and work against contemporary political efforts to homogenize India’s cultures and sanitize India’s pasts. Professor Devy’s presentation will describe the genesis and approach of each project, and reflect more broadly on the place of diversity in India as a nation, as people, and as a spectrum of cultures.

Ganesh N. Devy is a scholar, educator, activist, and the Obaid Sidiqqi Chair Professor at the National Center for Biological Research, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Bangalore. He is a prolific writer, having authored or edited 109 books in the fields of literary criticism, anthropology, education, and philosophy. From 1980 to 1996, Devy was a professor in the Department of English at Maharaja Sayajirao University in Baroda.

In 1996, Devy gave up his academic career to initiate a deeper engagement with Adivasi and Denotified and Nomadic Tribal (DNT) communities. Devy went on to found the Bhasha Research and Publication Center in Baroda, the Adivasis Academy at Tejgadh village, and the DNT Rights Action Group, among several other initiatives. Professor Devy has also been the recipient of numerous national and international awards, including the Padma Shri (India’s fourth highest civilian award, given by the Indian government) in 2013. In 2003, Devy received the prestigious Sahitya Akademi Award for his pathbreaking book of literary criticism, After Amnesia (Orient Blackswan, 1993). In 2015, Devy returned this award in protest over the “growing intolerance towards the differences of opinion” then manifesting in the murder and imprisonment of several prominent intellectuals in India.

Detroit-based saxophonist Marcus Elliot leads a seven-piece band of musicians and artists in this special collaboration with the African American Cultural and Historical Museum of Washtenaw County that celebrates the history of Ypsilanti as a refuge for Black Americans dating back to the 1830s.

Stories from this time, and other significant moments in the history of Ypsilanti, will inspire original music compositions that celebrate the bravery of those who sought freedom on the Underground Railroad, and honor the resilience that the African American community in Ypsilanti has shown throughout time.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Iranian women have been protagonists in revolutionary movements from the Constitutional Revolution (1905) to the Iranian Revolution (1979), the civil rights movements of 2009 (Green Movement), and more recently the 2022 Woman, Life, and Freedom Movement. They have been fighting for voting rights, gender and ethnic equality, freedom of assembly and of expression as well as the right to a dignified life. Using the media of the arts, the three panelists will discuss the visual and performative language of activism to think about the role of gender and the visual arts in revolutionary Iran.

About the panelists:
Orkideh Torabi was born in Tehran and earned her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2016 and she received her MA and BFA from The University of Art in Tehran. Through her vibrant and intricate paintings, Torabi challenges traditional notions of femininity, power dynamics, and identity. Her unique artistic style blends elements of Persian miniature painting with contemporary imagery, blurring the boundaries between the past and the present.

Nahid Siamdoust is an assistant professor of Middle East Studies at the University of Texas. She is the author of Soundtrack of the Revolution: The Politics of Music in Iran.

Niloofar Sarlati is an assistant professor of Comparative Literature and English Language and Literature at U-M. Her publications include “Suspicious Gifts, Skeptical Words, and Speculative Translations: Colonial and Semicolonial Encounters Between English and Persian” forthcoming in Comparative Literature .

Kathryn Babayan, moderator, is a professor in Middle East Studies and History at U-M. She is the author of The City as Anthology: Visualizing Cultures of Literacy in Early Modern Isfahan.

Orkideh Torabi is the 2023 Jean Yokes Woodhead Visting Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities. This event is part of the LSA's fall 2023 Arts & Resistance theme semester.

As we celebrate the library’s centennial, this exhibit is an attempt to answer a question asked often by visitors, how do you decide what to acquire to add to your collections.

It builds on the landmark publication of the library’s 75th anniversary, One Hundred and One Treasures From the Collections of the William L. Clements Library, edited by former library director John Dann. This exhibit—and its expanded online version—pairs items from 101 Treasures with related items that have for the most part been acquired since 1998. Those that were acquired earlier are items about which we’ve learned new things in the intervening 25 years.

The Other 9-11: Reflections on the Anniversary of the 1973 Coup in Chile. “Secrets of State: The Declassified History of the Chilean Dictatorship” Exhibit (September 27, 2023 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/111387 111387-21826961@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 27, 2023 8:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

The documents in this exhibit were declassified and made public as a result of years of research and FOIA advocacy by those promoting openness, particularly members of the National Security Archive. In the wake of the historic arrest in London of General Pinochet in October 1998, their efforts, among others, led President Bill Clinton to launch a special Chile Declassification Project in 1999 and the eventual release of over 24,000 formerly top secret documents.

Curated by Peter Kornbluh (Director of the Chile Documentation Project at the National Security Archive, an NGO dedicated to freedom of information and transparency), this exhibit was co-designed by Eimeel Castillo (Ph.D. Candidate in History and Women’s and Gender Studies) and Victoria Langland (Associate Professor of History).

Cosponsors: University of Michigan [Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies; International Institute; College of Literature, Science, and the Arts; Office of Research; Department of History; Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies; Museum Studies Program; Institute for the Humanities] and Interfaith Council for Peace & Justice

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

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

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

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

EIHS Workshop: Atmospheres of Violence: Loss, Silence, and Affect in Archival Research (September 29, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/108415 108415-21819557@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 29, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

Researching historical violence poses methodological, ethical, political, and affective challenges, particularly when this violence continues into the present, disrupts linear notions of time, and undermines triumphant progress narratives. When working in an archive defined by violence and terror, scholars are surrounded by emotions, both their own and their subjects’. In this workshop, an interdisciplinary group of graduate students will consider how scholars can write about marginalized subjects and communities whose voices have been systematically silenced and distorted by traditional historical archives. Foregrounding the affective politics of archival erasure, our panelists will offer different models for navigating archives characterized by profound violence. Our panel will include case studies from the temple of Sarapis in Ptolemaic Egypt during the second century BCE, the St. Charles School for Boys in Progressive-era Illinois, and contemporary social media archives documenting trauma and activism.

Panelists:

• Dora Gao (PhD Student, Ancient History, University of Michigan)
• Allie Goodman (PhD Candidate, History, University of Michigan)
• Kristen Leer (PhD Candidate, Communication and Media, University of Michigan)
• Alexander McConnell, moderator (Postdoctoral Fellow, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies, University of Michigan)

Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina: Exhibition Tour with GUEST TBD (October 1, 2023 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/110483 110483-21824973@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 1, 2023 2:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

.

Join exhibition co-curator and U-M Associate Professor of History Jason Young for an exploration of the dynamic exhibition Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield South Carolina. Hear Me Now centers around the complicated history and continuing legacy of an African American ceramic tradition that emerged out of the plantation economies of Edgefield, South Carolina. As an artistic tradition rooted in the history of American slavery, the exhibition highlights the tangled histories of race, slavery and art in this country. The exhibition features historic work including monumental storage jars by the enslaved and literate potter and poet Dave, later recorded as David Drake as well as leading contemporary Black artists who have responded to or whose practice resonates with the Edgefield story. Established figures like Theaster Gates and Simone Leigh, as well as younger, emerging artists like Adebunmi Gbadebo, Woody De Othello, and Robert Pruitt, have contributed to the show. Working primarily in clay, these artists respond to the legacy of the Edgefield potters and consider the resonance of this history for audiences today.

Hear Me Now is organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, with support from the Terra Foundation for American Art and the Henry Luce Foundation.

Lead support for UMMA's presentation of the exhibition is provided by Michigan Engineering, the U-M Office of the Provost, the U-M Office of the President, the Americana Foundation, the U-M College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, the U-M Inclusive History Project, and Michigan Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by Larry and Brenda Thompson and Melissa Kaish and Jonathan Dorfman.
