Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

To Be Heard at the University of Michigan is a public mural project and exhibition by Brooklyn-based street artist, painter, and activist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh.

The exhibition* Pressed Against My Own Glass* will be installed in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. In this multimedia installation on Black womanhood within the home space, Fazlalizadeh explores her childhood and adulthood within the domestic space and how it connects to the experiences of other Black women and those who had a girlhood. Using paintings, drawings, video, and reappropriated home objects, she examines her experiences of joy, rest, sadness, and fellowship in the home. While doing so, she makes connections to her Black women peers, even those like Breonna Taylor and Atatiana Jefferson who show how racist violence is a threat to Black women even in their homes.

About the Public Mural Project:

*To Be Heard*, public mural project, September 28-October 16, 2022. Locations: Angell Hall, Trotter Multicultural Center, Modern Languages Building, Shapiro Library.

The public mural component utilizes community engagement, public art, and social practice to listen to and amplify the voices of marginalized groups, particularly women and non-white students at the University of Michigan. Through class workshops and interviews, Fazlalizadeh will engage with Black and brown, queer, and women-identified students on the ways that they experience race and gender on campus, exploring how students are treated based on their identities. The engagement will culminate in public art installation across campus using drawings and photos to present the experiences and stories from these students back to the public.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Technology Services

Conceptualizing a digital project so that the research goals guide the technology and project, instead of the other way around can sometimes be difficult. In this workshop we will cover conceptualizing a research project with specific scholastic outcomes, objectives, and deliverables. Then, high-level tasks will be conceptualized and mapped to releases, versions, or editions of the project. Discussed approaches will include how to demonstrate the scholarly rigor of your digital project, accurately credit the labor required of the project at every stage, and provide evidence and metrics for promotion and job dossiers.

Note: This workshop will be held on Zoom. You will receive a reminder and a Zoom link one hour before the workshop.

About the Digital Scholarship 101 workshop series:
This series of workshops helps scholars avoid outdated projects, unpreserved knowledge, uncredited labor, and privacy or consent issues by emphasizing process in the project life cycle. Workshop participants learn how to conceptualize the life cycle of a project using human-centered design and backwards modelling when planning their projects to better understand how to version, archive, and preserve their research projects. Throughout the series, thematic questions around sustainability, preservation, accessibility, privacy, consent, grant requirements, and teaching with research will be examined. We encourage you to come with a project in mind and bring materials if available, but is not required to attend.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Department of History

Geoff Eley’s work has fundamentally reframed key questions in the field of German history and lastingly shaped the discipline of history. His work spans centuries and reaches across oceans. The questions he has asked are both pointed and of universal relevance. His contributions witnessed and shaped the many “turns” the discipline of history itself has made. His list of publications spans more pages than the average reading list for preliminary examinations in the field of German history. If one counts the presentations he has given at workshops and conferences one would assume he has lived three lives. As the organizers of this symposium in his honor, we suggest that the work of Geoff Eley deliberately evades “capture.” Instead of pounding a signpost into the ground and leaving his mark, Geoff has built bridges between fields and made waves within them, touching innumerable lives and minds in the process. To ride the waves and travel across these bridges by bringing together some of the many scholars, colleagues, students, and friends that have learned with and from Geoff is the purpose of this symposium.

No Straight Lines celebrates Geoff Eley’s impressive career, the breadth, range and importance of his scholarship, his spirit as a teacher, mentor and colleague, and his life-long commitment to justice, within and beyond the academy. Starting out as a scholar of German nationalism and the German political right and reframing the “peculiarities” of that history as an emerging young scholar, Geoff Eley’s work bore the imprint of comparative history, of thinking with concepts and theories rather than applying them, of pushing against boundaries that confine “acceptable” ways of thinking about the past, which he is currently putting into practice again by writing a comprehensive history of 20th Century Europe. Throughout his career, he has traced and critically reflected on how historical thinking has itself changed as a result of historical processes. No Straight Lines seeks to take stock of and celebrate the extent to which Geoff Eley’s work has in fact been indispensable to the intellectual shifts he has so skillfully traced and succinctly explained.

Besides celebrating the breadth and impact of Geoff Eley’s scholarship, No Straight Lines seeks to remind us all of the many ways in which his work was never just theoretical but was always connected with and energized by thinkers, writers, scholars, and students, and in turn, supported and touched so many of them in lasting ways. In this regard the Saturday dinner is as crucial a part of this symposium, as is the discussion of Eley’s scholarly footprint. That footprint was never purely abstract; nor was it only intellectual. Rather it continues to invigorate the many friendships and collaborations he has built and sustained over his career. This symposium brings us together to honor the experience of learning from and with Geoff Eley.

No Straight Lines: Peculiar Pasts and Crooked Futures (September 30, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95228 95228-21789022@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 30, 2022 9:00am

Organized By: Department of History

Geoff Eley’s work has fundamentally reframed key questions in the field of German history and lastingly shaped the discipline of history. His work spans centuries and reaches across oceans. The questions he has asked are both pointed and of universal relevance. His contributions witnessed and shaped the many “turns” the discipline of history itself has made. His list of publications spans more pages than the average reading list for preliminary examinations in the field of German history. If one counts the presentations he has given at workshops and conferences one would assume he has lived three lives. As the organizers of this symposium in his honor, we suggest that the work of Geoff Eley deliberately evades “capture.” Instead of pounding a signpost into the ground and leaving his mark, Geoff has built bridges between fields and made waves within them, touching innumerable lives and minds in the process. To ride the waves and travel across these bridges by bringing together some of the many scholars, colleagues, students, and friends that have learned with and from Geoff is the purpose of this symposium.

No Straight Lines celebrates Geoff Eley’s impressive career, the breadth, range and importance of his scholarship, his spirit as a teacher, mentor and colleague, and his life-long commitment to justice, within and beyond the academy. Starting out as a scholar of German nationalism and the German political right and reframing the “peculiarities” of that history as an emerging young scholar, Geoff Eley’s work bore the imprint of comparative history, of thinking with concepts and theories rather than applying them, of pushing against boundaries that confine “acceptable” ways of thinking about the past, which he is currently putting into practice again by writing a comprehensive history of 20th Century Europe. Throughout his career, he has traced and critically reflected on how historical thinking has itself changed as a result of historical processes. No Straight Lines seeks to take stock of and celebrate the extent to which Geoff Eley’s work has in fact been indispensable to the intellectual shifts he has so skillfully traced and succinctly explained.

Besides celebrating the breadth and impact of Geoff Eley’s scholarship, No Straight Lines seeks to remind us all of the many ways in which his work was never just theoretical but was always connected with and energized by thinkers, writers, scholars, and students, and in turn, supported and touched so many of them in lasting ways. In this regard the Saturday dinner is as crucial a part of this symposium, as is the discussion of Eley’s scholarly footprint. That footprint was never purely abstract; nor was it only intellectual. Rather it continues to invigorate the many friendships and collaborations he has built and sustained over his career. This symposium brings us together to honor the experience of learning from and with Geoff Eley.

To Be Heard: "Pressed Against My Own Glass" Exhibition (September 30, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/97669 97669-21794897@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 30, 2022 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

To Be Heard at the University of Michigan is a public mural project and exhibition by Brooklyn-based street artist, painter, and activist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh.

The exhibition* Pressed Against My Own Glass* will be installed in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. In this multimedia installation on Black womanhood within the home space, Fazlalizadeh explores her childhood and adulthood within the domestic space and how it connects to the experiences of other Black women and those who had a girlhood. Using paintings, drawings, video, and reappropriated home objects, she examines her experiences of joy, rest, sadness, and fellowship in the home. While doing so, she makes connections to her Black women peers, even those like Breonna Taylor and Atatiana Jefferson who show how racist violence is a threat to Black women even in their homes.

About the Public Mural Project:

*To Be Heard*, public mural project, September 28-October 16, 2022. Locations: Angell Hall, Trotter Multicultural Center, Modern Languages Building, Shapiro Library.

The public mural component utilizes community engagement, public art, and social practice to listen to and amplify the voices of marginalized groups, particularly women and non-white students at the University of Michigan. Through class workshops and interviews, Fazlalizadeh will engage with Black and brown, queer, and women-identified students on the ways that they experience race and gender on campus, exploring how students are treated based on their identities. The engagement will culminate in public art installation across campus using drawings and photos to present the experiences and stories from these students back to the public.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Judaic Studies

Offering a glimpse into the vital Mizrahi literary landscape, this panel will gather several Mizrahi authors of different generations, backgrounds, and experiences. These well-known authors will be reading from their invaluable work and engaging the audience in a conversation about their specific texts as well as about their more general struggles and challenges. While aiming at giving a flavor of the wide-ranging aesthetics, generic, and stylistic scope of Mizrahi creativity, the panel, more broadly, hopes to give a sense of the intricacies of the Mizrahi story. The reading will be accompanied with English translation to facilitate the discussion with the audience.

This is a virtual event.

Here Nor There is a new solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist and environmentalist Kristina Sheufelt. Sheufelt is based in Detroit, Michigan, and recently received her MFA from the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design. In Here Nor There, Sheufelt uses a variety of media to blur the lines between land and body.

For the past several years, Sheufelt has spent her summers living in remote backcountry locations throughout the United States working on research projects ranging from self-directed study of emotional psychology in the wilderness to monitoring marine wildlife populations. In Here Nor There, Sheufelt processes the emotional and ecological implications of returning to life in the city between reunions with the wild.


Kristina Sheufelt received her BFA from the College for Creative Studies in 2013 and her MFA from the University of Michigan in 2022.

Rita Strakovsky, PhD, RD is an Assistant Professor of Maternal Nutrition and Toxicology in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Michigan State University.

Dr. Strakovsky's research focuses on various modifiable lifestyle and environmental factors that can be targeted to protect maternal and child health.

She has worked extensively in rodent pregnancy models to study the effects of maternal diet or exposure to environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on the epigenetic regulation of energy metabolism in offspring. Driven by findings from these studies, my current research in human populations uses molecular epidemiology and biostatistics techniques to address several questions related to the health of mom and her developing fetus during pregnancy:
* Does exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals in pregnancy impact maternal hormone levels and how does that impact fetal development via dysregulation of fetal fatty acid supply? (supported by K99/R00 award from NIEHS).
* Does exposure to phthalates in pregnancy impact maternal long-term cardiometabolic health, and does hormonal disruption mediate this relationship? (supported by R01 award from NIEHS).
* Do mixtures of dietary micronutrients impact length of gestation, and does diet quality or exposure to environmental chemicals modify this relationship? (supported by Administrative Supplement from NIH Office of Dietary Supplements).
* How does maternal obesity and adiposity impact biomarkers of reproductive endpoints in newborns, and does this differ in male vs. female babies? (supported by R03 award from NICHD).
* Is perinatal obesity associated with maternal mitochondrial epigenetic disruption and is that related to newborn weight or gestational age at birth? (supported by pilot grant from Michigan Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes cohort (ECHO))

Hear, Here: Humanities Up Close (October 4, 2022 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/98636 98636-21796996@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 4, 2022 12:30pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

With the “Hear, Here” series, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session. Today: "New World Italians: The Invention of a Brazilian Identity" with Giulia Riccò.

About this talk:
When and where did Italians first begin to understand themselves as white? This talk suggests that the answer to such a question lies in an unlikely place: São Paulo, Brazil at the turn of the 20th century, which became home to the largest concentration of Italians outside of Italy.

About Giulia Riccò:
Giulia Riccò is a 2022-23 John Rich Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and assistant professor, Romance languages and literatures.

Race and Racism, Comparatively: A Fall 2022 Series (October 4, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96941 96941-21793601@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 4, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Comparative Literature

“Race and Racism, Comparatively” is a series of three conversations highlighting the work of scholars both in and beyond U-M whose scholarship is contributing to much-needed conversations on the global dimension of race, racism, and their impacts. Through these events, we seek to help broaden the aperture through which the academic community considers these themes, encouraging an understanding of a dynamic and interconnected set of systems, practices and material effects.

September 20th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Virtual conversation with University of Pennsylvania scholar and president of the Middle East Studies Association, Eve Troutt Powell and Tennessee State University scholar, Keisha Brown. A cultural historian, Professor Troutt Powell’s scholarship has focused the history of the modern Middle East with a particular emphasis on slavery in the Nile Valley and in the former Ottoman Empire. Professor Brown’s work has focused on modern China and the negotiation of Sino-Blackness; her research interests broadly include ethnic and race studies, postcolonial theory and social and cultural history in East Asia.

October 4th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Roundtable featuring U-M faculty whose scholarship takes up the question of race and racism according to a transnational lens. The areas of focus represented among the participants include: the construction of blackness in the Francophone world; race, gender and Islam; the role of race and racialization as a tool of biopower in Mexico; and race and representation in US classrooms, literature and media. This event will be in-person at Kuenzel Room in the Michigan League, with a hybrid stream option.

November 1st 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Pedagogy Workshop. The groups will function as both an opportunity to reflect on the provocations raised during previous two events, dissect our assumptions about race on the global stage, and exchange ideas and best practices for teaching the same. The aim is to create a constructive and productive dialogue which will ideally produce a series of “best practices'' for teaching race and racism from a comparative, global standpoint. This event will be in-person at the Vandenberg Room in the League, with a hybrid stream option on Zoom. Register for streaming here:

To Be Heard at the University of Michigan is a public mural project and exhibition by Brooklyn-based street artist, painter, and activist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh.

The public murals will be displayed on Angell Hall, Shapiro Undergraduate Library, Trotter Multicultural Center, and MLB.

The public mural component utilizes community engagement, public art, and social practice to listen to and amplify the voices of marginalized groups, particularly women and non-white students at the University of Michigan. Through class workshops and interviews, Fazlalizadeh will engage with Black and brown, queer, and women-identified students on the ways that they experience race and gender on campus, exploring how students are treated based on their identities. The engagement will culminate in public art installation across campus using drawings and photos to present the experiences and stories from these students back to the public.

About the Exhibition
*Pressed Against My Own Glass*, exhibition, September 15-October 21, 2022. Location: Institute for the Humanities Gallery, 202 S. Thayer.

The exhibition *Pressed Against My Own Glass* will be installed in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. In this multimedia installation on Black womanhood within the home space, Fazlalizadeh explores her childhood and adulthood within the domestic space and how it connects to the experiences of other Black women and those who had a girlhood. Using paintings, drawings, video, and reappropriated home objects, she examines her experiences of joy, rest, sadness, and fellowship in the home. While doing so, she makes connections to her Black women peers, even those like Breonna Taylor and Atatiana Jefferson who show how racist violence is a threat to Black women even in their homes.

Dr. Louise Seamster is an Assistant Professor in Sociology and Criminology and African American Studies at the University of Iowa, and a Nonresident Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. She studies race and economic inequality, particularly in cities, and writes about racial politics and urban development, emergency financial management, debt, and the myth of racial progress. One line of her research examines racial disparities in debt and debt markets, including “predatory inclusion” in student debt, and the different meaning of debt for black and white families. She has published in Contexts, Sociological Theory, Du Bois Review, Social Currents, Environment, and Planning A: Society and Space, and Ethnic and Racial Studies.

The talks, which are free and open to the public, will also be livestreamed on YouTube. U-M students can participate in the series as a one-credit course - look for it as SWK 503 section 001.

About the Exhibition
*Pressed Against My Own Glass*, exhibition, September 15-October 21, 2022. Location: Institute for the Humanities Gallery, 202 S. Thayer.

The exhibition *Pressed Against My Own Glass* will be installed in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. In this multimedia installation on Black womanhood within the home space, Fazlalizadeh explores her childhood and adulthood within the domestic space and how it connects to the experiences of other Black women and those who had a girlhood. Using paintings, drawings, video, and reappropriated home objects, she examines her experiences of joy, rest, sadness, and fellowship in the home. While doing so, she makes connections to her Black women peers, even those like Breonna Taylor and Atatiana Jefferson who show how racist violence is a threat to Black women even in their homes.

Registration is required.

Please join us October 12, 2022 to learn about the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. The speaker will be Dr. Brady West.

Advance registration is required, https://bit.ly/3d3upwR

The Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science (MPSDS) offers graduate degrees that combine ideas and techniques for producing and analyzing data about humans and our society. Joint us to launch your career in this exciting and rewarding field in which scientists interpret the world through data.

The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

High Stakes Culture: How Do We Understand Abortion, Control, and Reproductive Justice? (October 12, 2022 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99155 99155-21797640@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 12, 2022 5:30pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

High Stakes Culture explores the ongoing “culture wars'' and recent cultural flashpoints igniting across the country. Activists from all points of the political spectrum are turning to beloved cultural objects to stake a claim for their differing beliefs. The foundations of public education are being questioned as books are banned and Critical Race Theory is challenged. States are passing laws that attempt to ban or criminalize medical treatment for trans teens and children. And a landmark abortion ruling has spurred national conversations about reproductive justice.

What is at stake in the ways we understand culture and cultural conflict? The High Stakes Culture series brings U-M scholars and students together to bring humanities perspectives to bear on compelling issues in the culture now. Join us as we ask: How and why does culture matter so much?

Today, “High Stakes Culture: How Do We Understand Abortion, Control, and Reproductive Justice?” with scholars Lisa Harris (Obstetrics and Gynecology and American studies Phd), Ava Purkiss (women's and gender studies and American culture), Ruby Tapia (women's and gender studies) and SaraEllen Strongman (Afroamerican and African studies) with moderator Angela Dillard (Afroamerican and African studies, Residential College, history) will engage students in a conversation about choice and power and justice.

We will ask questions like:

How do we understand the new landscape of reproductive rights?
What histories of reproductive rights are useful to know?
What cultural logics are driving changes now?

To Be Heard at the University of Michigan is a public mural project and exhibition by Brooklyn-based street artist, painter, and activist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh.

The public murals will be displayed on Angell Hall, Shapiro Undergraduate Library, Trotter Multicultural Center, and MLB.

The public mural component utilizes community engagement, public art, and social practice to listen to and amplify the voices of marginalized groups, particularly women and non-white students at the University of Michigan. Through class workshops and interviews, Fazlalizadeh will engage with Black and brown, queer, and women-identified students on the ways that they experience race and gender on campus, exploring how students are treated based on their identities. The engagement will culminate in public art installation across campus using drawings and photos to present the experiences and stories from these students back to the public.

About the Exhibition
*Pressed Against My Own Glass*, exhibition, September 15-October 21, 2022. Location: Institute for the Humanities Gallery, 202 S. Thayer.

The exhibition *Pressed Against My Own Glass* will be installed in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. In this multimedia installation on Black womanhood within the home space, Fazlalizadeh explores her childhood and adulthood within the domestic space and how it connects to the experiences of other Black women and those who had a girlhood. Using paintings, drawings, video, and reappropriated home objects, she examines her experiences of joy, rest, sadness, and fellowship in the home. While doing so, she makes connections to her Black women peers, even those like Breonna Taylor and Atatiana Jefferson who show how racist violence is a threat to Black women even in their homes.

*To Be Heard*, public mural project, September 28-October 16, 2022. Locations: Angell Hall, Trotter Multicultural Center, Modern Languages Building, Shapiro Library.

The public mural component utilizes community engagement, public art, and social practice to listen to and amplify the voices of marginalized groups, particularly women and non-white students at the University of Michigan. Through class workshops and interviews, Fazlalizadeh will engage with Black and brown, queer, and women-identified students on the ways that they experience race and gender on campus, exploring how students are treated based on their identities. The engagement will culminate in public art installation across campus using drawings and photos to present the experiences and stories from these students back to the public.

Explainability Is Not the Solution to Structural Challenges to AI in Medicine

Explainability is often treated as a necessary condition for ethical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in Medicine. In this brief talk I survey some of the structural challenges facing the development and deployment of effective AI systems in health care to illustrate some of the limitations to explainability in addressing these challenges. This talk builds on prior work (London 2019, 2022) to illustrate how ambitions for AI in health care likely require significant changes to key aspects of health systems.

Melissa McCradden, PhD, MHSc
Director of AI in Medicine

On the Inextricability of Explainability from Ethics: Explainable AI does not Ethical AI Make

Explainability is embedded into a plethora of legal, professional, and regulatory guidelines as it is often presumed that an ethical use of AI will require explainable algorithms. There is considerable controversy, however, as to whether post hoc explanations are computationally reliable, their value for decision-making, and the relational implications of their use in shared decision-making. This talk will explore the literature across these domains and argue that while post hoc explainability may be a reasonable technical goal, it should not be offered status as a moral standard by which AI use is judged to be ‘ethical.’

DISCO Network Lecture Series | Racial Replication: Michelle N. Huang in Conversation with Lisa Nakamura and Huan He (October 20, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97625 97625-21794842@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 20, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

Asiatic interchangeability is made, not born. In her talk, Michelle N. Huang discusses how dystopian clone narratives challenge notions of individual racialized identity at both the genetic and generic levels. Drawing on Saidiya Hartman’s concept of racial fungibility, Huang will examine Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go (2005) and Larissa Lai’s Salt Fish Girl (2002) to trace how Asian American interchangeability is produced through reproductive control as well as an economy of character. In rearticulating, rather than rejecting, notions of shared subjectivity, hivemind, and fellow feeling, Asiatic clones ask for experimental alternatives to the ethnic bildungsroman and demonstrate the novel form itself to be a racialized technology of identity.

Michelle N. Huang is an Assistant Professor of English and Asian American Studies at Northwestern University. She has research and teaching interests in contemporary Asian American literature, posthumanism, and feminist science studies. Her current project, Molecular Race, examines posthumanist aesthetics in post-1965 Asian American literature to trace racial representation and epistemology at nonhuman, minute scales. Molecular Race argues that a rapprochement with scientific discourse is necessary to fully grasp how the formal and aesthetic qualities of Asian American literature unsettle sedimented structures of racial formation.

Michelle’s work appears in American Literature, Contemporary Literature, Twentieth-Century Literature, Journal of Asian American Studies, Amerasia, and Post 45: Contemporaries, among other venues. Her film essay, INHUMAN FIGURES: Robots, Clones, and Aliens can be viewed online at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center website.

Lisa Nakamura is the Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor of American Culture and Digital Studies at the University of Michigan. She is the author of several books on race, gender, and the Internet. She is the founding Director of the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan and the Lead P.I. for the DISCO (Digital Inquiry, Speculation, Collaboration and Optimism) Network (disconetwork.org).

Huan He is a Curriculum Development Fellow at the DISCO Network Michigan Hub and holds a PhD in American Studies and Ethnicity from the University of Southern California. Most broadly, his research engages Asian/American literature and culture, histories of media and technology, visual culture, digital game studies, and poetics. His book project, currently titled, “The Racial Interface,” explores the racial associations linking Asian/Americans and information technology in the digital era. Drawing from literature, art, and archival sources, this project reveals how myths of racial and technological progress converge in the shadow of U.S. liberal capitalism. He foregrounds minoritarian writers and artists who challenge the dominant technological imaginaries shaping the digital present. He is also interested in the relationship between race, gaming, cheating, and scams and pursuing a second project on these topics. His scholarly writing has been published in College Literature: A Journal of Critical Literary Studies and Media-N and is forthcoming in an anthology on Asian/American game studies. In Fall 2023, he will start as an Assistant Professor of English (Asian American and Asian Diasporic Literature) at Vanderbilt University.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

To Be Heard at the University of Michigan is a public mural project and exhibition by Brooklyn-based street artist, painter, and activist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh.

The exhibition* Pressed Against My Own Glass* will be installed in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. In this multimedia installation on Black womanhood within the home space, Fazlalizadeh explores her childhood and adulthood within the domestic space and how it connects to the experiences of other Black women and those who had a girlhood. Using paintings, drawings, video, and reappropriated home objects, she examines her experiences of joy, rest, sadness, and fellowship in the home. While doing so, she makes connections to her Black women peers, even those like Breonna Taylor and Atatiana Jefferson who show how racist violence is a threat to Black women even in their homes.

Representative Rashida Tlaib is an American politician and lawyer serving as the U.S. representative for Michigan’s 13th congressional district since 2019. The district includes the western half of Detroit, along with several of its western suburbs and much of the Downriver area. A member of the Democratic Party, Tlaib represented the 6th and 12th districts of the Michigan House of Representatives before her election to Congress. After serving, she worked at Sugar Law Center, a Detroit nonprofit that provides free legal representation for workers. In Congress, Tlaib is tackling one of the most significant drivers of poverty in our country – medical debt. With eight million Americans pushed into poverty due to medical expenses in 2018, Tlaib introduced The Consumer Protection for Medical Debt Collections Act (H.R. 2537), which would prohibit the collection of medical debt for two years, as well as debt from “medically necessary” procedures being included on one’s credit report. It passed the House in 2021 as part of a Comprehensive Debt Collection Act.

The talks, which are free and open to the public, will also be livestreamed on YouTube. U-M students can participate in the series as a one-credit course - look for it as SWK 503 section 001.

Thomas Spencer Jerome Lecture Series, Fall 2022 (October 31, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99824 99824-21798760@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 31, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Classical Studies

The Thomas Spencer Jerome Lecture Series is among the most prestigious international platforms for the presentation of new work on Roman history and culture. The Jerome Lectures are presented at both the American Academy in Rome and the University of Michigan. Scheduled for Fall 2022, in the forty-ninth year of the lecture series, Amy Richlin, Distinguished Research Professor of Classics at UCLA will be delivering four lectures on the theme of "Dirty Words: The Selective Survival of Latin Erotica."

Amy Richlin works on Roman society and culture, especially women’s history, Roman comedy and satire, and the history of sexuality. Her most recent book, Slave Theater in the Roman Republic: Plautus and Popular Comedy, won the Goodwin Award from the Society for Classical Studies. Her Jerome Lectures spring from her career-long fascination with the simultaneous radical difference and deep continuities between ancient and modern sex/gender systems.

All lectures will take place in a hybrid format at 4:00 PM. In person: on the 2nd Floor of the Michigan League. Virtually: live-streamed via LSA ITS


- Monday, October 31st - How Pederasty Got Lost

Livestream: https://ummedia01.umnet.umich.edu/lsa/lsa103122.html

Summary: after a brief history of how the history of ancient sexuality started to be written in the 1970s, this lecture presents an overview of pederastic texts in classical Latin and the co-implication of Roman pederasty with slavery. This continues into “retrosexuality” as writers in the 100s CE produce poetry that is explicitly grounded in earlier poetry. Then three main questions: how did this discourse survive the transformation of Western Europe into Christendom? What does this discourse tell about the transformation of the ancient sex/gender system? Why is it important to us?

- Wednesday, November 2nd - Sidonius Apollinaris in Visigothic Gaul: Love Among the Ruins

Livestream: https://ummedia01.umnet.umich.edu/lsa/lsa110222.html

Summary: this lecture focuses on a great transitional figure of the 400s CE. A super-rich aristocrat who lived in an enormous villa in southern Gaul, Sidonius survived the Visigothic takeover and became bishop of Clermont. In his voluminous poems and letters he attests to his fear that traditional Latin literature will disappear, producing an account in which pederastic love is visible as an erasure – although Sidonius does turn a queer eye on the Visigoth Theodoric.

- Friday, November 4th - Jerome’s Captive Slave-Woman and the Latin Canon

Livestream: https://ummedia01.umnet.umich.edu/lsa/lsa110422.html

Summary: one of the main reasons classical Latin survived is that Church fathers like St. Jerome could not bear to abandon the curriculum they were trained in. But in the Middle Ages Jerome’s reading list meant different things to the monks that copied texts over and to those who set Church policy on sexual behavior. Now pederasty was a sin, although the heaviest blame fell, surprisingly, on the youngest boys. Yet the 1100s saw the rise of several monkish poets who wrote pederastic poetry. After a late-medieval backlash, the Italian Renaissance found teachers editing even the Carmina Priapea as a project with their students.

- Monday, November 7th - Curriculum Reform and Expurgation in the 1700s and 1800s

Livestream: https://ummedia01.umnet.umich.edu/lsa/lsa110722.html

Summary: grammar schools in the 1600s, following the tradition stretching back to Jerome, taught mainly Greek and Latin, including satire (often unexpurgated). An editor of the X-rated Greek pederastic poet Strato in 1764 claims that all students have access to Catullus, Martial, Petronius, and the Priapea. Yet this aspect of education troubled the puritanical, who not unreasonably asked why Christian schools should be teaching about sins and gods. A survey of schoolbooks and curricula shows that conflicting systems continued to coexist. Today we are more likely to teach Catullus and Petronius to undergraduates than the Victorians were; should we teach them whole?

Race and Racism, Comparatively: A Fall 2022 Series (November 1, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96941 96941-21793602@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 1, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Comparative Literature

“Race and Racism, Comparatively” is a series of three conversations highlighting the work of scholars both in and beyond U-M whose scholarship is contributing to much-needed conversations on the global dimension of race, racism, and their impacts. Through these events, we seek to help broaden the aperture through which the academic community considers these themes, encouraging an understanding of a dynamic and interconnected set of systems, practices and material effects.

September 20th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Virtual conversation with University of Pennsylvania scholar and president of the Middle East Studies Association, Eve Troutt Powell and Tennessee State University scholar, Keisha Brown. A cultural historian, Professor Troutt Powell’s scholarship has focused the history of the modern Middle East with a particular emphasis on slavery in the Nile Valley and in the former Ottoman Empire. Professor Brown’s work has focused on modern China and the negotiation of Sino-Blackness; her research interests broadly include ethnic and race studies, postcolonial theory and social and cultural history in East Asia.

October 4th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Roundtable featuring U-M faculty whose scholarship takes up the question of race and racism according to a transnational lens. The areas of focus represented among the participants include: the construction of blackness in the Francophone world; race, gender and Islam; the role of race and racialization as a tool of biopower in Mexico; and race and representation in US classrooms, literature and media. This event will be in-person at Kuenzel Room in the Michigan League, with a hybrid stream option.

November 1st 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Pedagogy Workshop. The groups will function as both an opportunity to reflect on the provocations raised during previous two events, dissect our assumptions about race on the global stage, and exchange ideas and best practices for teaching the same. The aim is to create a constructive and productive dialogue which will ideally produce a series of “best practices'' for teaching race and racism from a comparative, global standpoint. This event will be in-person at the Vandenberg Room in the League, with a hybrid stream option on Zoom. Register for streaming here:

Padnos Public Engagement on Jewish Learning Lecture: “Remnants of a Mighty Nation”: Jews Through the Eyes of American Christians (November 1, 2022 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97306 97306-21794290@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 1, 2022 7:00pm
Location: 1027 E. Huron Building
Organized By: Judaic Studies

The Stuart and Barbara Padnos Foundation has provided a gift to the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies to establish the Padnos Engagement on Jewish Learning fund. The initiative, which commenced last year, will facilitate annual public educational activities in Jewish Studies throughout the State of Michigan with a focus on the western part of the state.This lecture is in partnership with the Kaufman Interfaith Institute at Grand Valley State University.

The Padnos Public Engagement on Jewish Learning Event, to take place on November 1 at 7 pm, will feature Dr. Julian Levinson, Samuel Shetzer Professor of American Jewish Studies, University of Michigan. Dr. Levinson will present a lecture called “'Remnants of a Mighty Nation': Jews Through the Eyes of American Christians” at the Loosemore Auditorium at the Richard M. Devos Center on Grand Valley State University's Campus. The event will also be virtually simulcast via Zoom. Immediately following the lecture at approximately 8:30 there will be a light reception in the adjacent Lubbers Exhibition Hall.

Dr. Levinson prefaces his discussion: "What is it like to belong to a religious minority? For Jews in the United States, there have been countless challenges as well as unexpected benefits from living among a Christian majority. While some individual Christians have been highly critical of Jews for their beliefs and practices, others have been deeply respectful of Jews for being the original “chosen people,” for preserving the Hebrew language, and for maintaining traditions going back to the Bible. This talk will focus on the ways Jews were perceived in nineteenth-century America, when the origins of present-day Christian-Jewish relations were established. It will trace the formation of views that are still prevalent today, including the evangelical fascination with Israel. It will also consider how Jews have shaped their own identities in relation to the broader Christian environment."

This is a hybrid lecture.

La Pelea/The Fight (November 2, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/97756 97756-21795058@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 2, 2022 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

About the Exhibition
*La Pelea/The Fight* is a 46-foot panoramic oil-on-canvas. At the center of the “picture” and surrounded by a jeering crowd, the viewer becomes literally and conceptually involved as the one who is about to fight and defend themself. Depending on where the viewer is standing in the space, however, a different perspective can emerge, suggesting that even a public, collective experience is highly subjective.

Like much of Diaz’s work, *La Pelea/The Fight* brings into question the reliability of the narrator and the complexity of stories, especially as they pertain to the manipulation of facts and suggestions of criminality by the media and those in positions of power. It is timely in an era defined by polarity and politically driven half-truths and fictions, and a reminder that it is the necessary tension of a myriad of perspectives that bring us closer to some truth, rather than the singular view from where we are standing.

About the Artist
Born in 1977 in Mexico, Diaz considers image and information, and how the media and individuals represent stories to a different end. His immersive Panoramic paintings allow for the viewer to be witness, gaining a different perspective or experience depending on the positioning in relation to the work. His work is so original, fresh and contemporary, while at the same time harkening back to the traditions of Mexican muralists like Diego Rivera.

Thomas Spencer Jerome Lecture Series, Fall 2022 (November 4, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99824 99824-21798762@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 4, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Classical Studies

The Thomas Spencer Jerome Lecture Series is among the most prestigious international platforms for the presentation of new work on Roman history and culture. The Jerome Lectures are presented at both the American Academy in Rome and the University of Michigan. Scheduled for Fall 2022, in the forty-ninth year of the lecture series, Amy Richlin, Distinguished Research Professor of Classics at UCLA will be delivering four lectures on the theme of "Dirty Words: The Selective Survival of Latin Erotica."

Amy Richlin works on Roman society and culture, especially women’s history, Roman comedy and satire, and the history of sexuality. Her most recent book, Slave Theater in the Roman Republic: Plautus and Popular Comedy, won the Goodwin Award from the Society for Classical Studies. Her Jerome Lectures spring from her career-long fascination with the simultaneous radical difference and deep continuities between ancient and modern sex/gender systems.

All lectures will take place in a hybrid format at 4:00 PM. In person: on the 2nd Floor of the Michigan League. Virtually: live-streamed via LSA ITS


- Monday, October 31st - How Pederasty Got Lost

Livestream: https://ummedia01.umnet.umich.edu/lsa/lsa103122.html

Summary: after a brief history of how the history of ancient sexuality started to be written in the 1970s, this lecture presents an overview of pederastic texts in classical Latin and the co-implication of Roman pederasty with slavery. This continues into “retrosexuality” as writers in the 100s CE produce poetry that is explicitly grounded in earlier poetry. Then three main questions: how did this discourse survive the transformation of Western Europe into Christendom? What does this discourse tell about the transformation of the ancient sex/gender system? Why is it important to us?

- Wednesday, November 2nd - Sidonius Apollinaris in Visigothic Gaul: Love Among the Ruins

Livestream: https://ummedia01.umnet.umich.edu/lsa/lsa110222.html

Summary: this lecture focuses on a great transitional figure of the 400s CE. A super-rich aristocrat who lived in an enormous villa in southern Gaul, Sidonius survived the Visigothic takeover and became bishop of Clermont. In his voluminous poems and letters he attests to his fear that traditional Latin literature will disappear, producing an account in which pederastic love is visible as an erasure – although Sidonius does turn a queer eye on the Visigoth Theodoric.

- Friday, November 4th - Jerome’s Captive Slave-Woman and the Latin Canon

Livestream: https://ummedia01.umnet.umich.edu/lsa/lsa110422.html

Summary: one of the main reasons classical Latin survived is that Church fathers like St. Jerome could not bear to abandon the curriculum they were trained in. But in the Middle Ages Jerome’s reading list meant different things to the monks that copied texts over and to those who set Church policy on sexual behavior. Now pederasty was a sin, although the heaviest blame fell, surprisingly, on the youngest boys. Yet the 1100s saw the rise of several monkish poets who wrote pederastic poetry. After a late-medieval backlash, the Italian Renaissance found teachers editing even the Carmina Priapea as a project with their students.

- Monday, November 7th - Curriculum Reform and Expurgation in the 1700s and 1800s

Livestream: https://ummedia01.umnet.umich.edu/lsa/lsa110722.html

Summary: grammar schools in the 1600s, following the tradition stretching back to Jerome, taught mainly Greek and Latin, including satire (often unexpurgated). An editor of the X-rated Greek pederastic poet Strato in 1764 claims that all students have access to Catullus, Martial, Petronius, and the Priapea. Yet this aspect of education troubled the puritanical, who not unreasonably asked why Christian schools should be teaching about sins and gods. A survey of schoolbooks and curricula shows that conflicting systems continued to coexist. Today we are more likely to teach Catullus and Petronius to undergraduates than the Victorians were; should we teach them whole?

About the Exhibition
*La Pelea/The Fight* is a 46-foot panoramic oil-on-canvas. At the center of the “picture” and surrounded by a jeering crowd, the viewer becomes literally and conceptually involved as the one who is about to fight and defend themself. Depending on where the viewer is standing in the space, however, a different perspective can emerge, suggesting that even a public, collective experience is highly subjective.

Like much of Diaz’s work, *La Pelea/The Fight* brings into question the reliability of the narrator and the complexity of stories, especially as they pertain to the manipulation of facts and suggestions of criminality by the media and those in positions of power. It is timely in an era defined by polarity and politically driven half-truths and fictions, and a reminder that it is the necessary tension of a myriad of perspectives that bring us closer to some truth, rather than the singular view from where we are standing.

About the Artist
Born in 1977 in Mexico, Diaz considers image and information, and how the media and individuals represent stories to a different end. His immersive Panoramic paintings allow for the viewer to be witness, gaining a different perspective or experience depending on the positioning in relation to the work. His work is so original, fresh and contemporary, while at the same time harkening back to the traditions of Mexican muralists like Diego Rivera.

With the “Hear, Here” series, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session. Today: “The Right to Be Different: 21st Century Citizenship in Dearborn, Michigan” with Sally Howell.

About this talk:
As Arab Muslims become the majority population in Dearborn, Michigan, and assume leadership of local government, residents struggle to find a shared language in which to discuss their contests over space, religious heritage, and the public image of the city itself. This talk will explore the cultural, political, and aesthetic spheres through which Arab Americans are actively renegotiating their right to be different in Dearborn.

What is digital pedagogy? In this workshop we’ll define digital pedagogy and discuss how to apply digital methods critically. We’ll cover the advantages and potential complications of using technology in the classroom. We’ll also introduce you to a range of digital tools and techniques to use in teaching, provide examples from our experience as instructors at the university, and work together to think about how we could apply digital pedagogy in our individual fields.

Note: This workshop will be held on Zoom. You will receive a reminder and a Zoom link one hour before the workshop.

About the Digital Scholarship 101 workshop series:
This series of workshops helps scholars avoid outdated projects, unpreserved knowledge, uncredited labor, and privacy or consent issues by emphasizing process in the project life cycle. Workshop participants learn how to conceptualize the life cycle of a project using human-centered design and backwards modelling when planning their projects to better understand how to version, archive, and preserve their research projects. Throughout the series, thematic questions around sustainability, preservation, accessibility, privacy, consent, grant requirements, and teaching with research will be examined. We encourage you to come with a project in mind and bring materials if available, but is not required to attend.

About the Exhibition
*La Pelea/The Fight* is a 46-foot panoramic oil-on-canvas. At the center of the “picture” and surrounded by a jeering crowd, the viewer becomes literally and conceptually involved as the one who is about to fight and defend themself. Depending on where the viewer is standing in the space, however, a different perspective can emerge, suggesting that even a public, collective experience is highly subjective.

Like much of Diaz’s work, *La Pelea/The Fight* brings into question the reliability of the narrator and the complexity of stories, especially as they pertain to the manipulation of facts and suggestions of criminality by the media and those in positions of power. It is timely in an era defined by polarity and politically driven half-truths and fictions, and a reminder that it is the necessary tension of a myriad of perspectives that bring us closer to some truth, rather than the singular view from where we are standing.

About the Artist
Born in 1977 in Mexico, Diaz considers image and information, and how the media and individuals represent stories to a different end. His immersive Panoramic paintings allow for the viewer to be witness, gaining a different perspective or experience depending on the positioning in relation to the work. His work is so original, fresh and contemporary, while at the same time harkening back to the traditions of Mexican muralists like Diego Rivera.

UMMA and the Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series present Paul M. Farber: Power and Participation in Public Art (November 10, 2022 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97380 97380-21794496@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 10, 2022 5:30pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

.

Paul M. Farber is Director and Co-Founder of Monument Lab, a Philadelphia-based organization working with artists, students, educators, activists, municipal agencies, and cultural institutions to facilitate critical conversations around the past, present, and future of monuments, approaches to public engagement, and collective memory. He also serves as Senior Research Scholar at the Center for Public Art & Space at the University of Pennsylvania.

A highly collaborative pilot project between Monument Lab and UMMA will encompass curatorial research around the intersection of Michigan history, public art, and monuments, and will culminate in an artist commission for 2022-23 that explores the history of UMMA’s Alumni Memorial Hall as a monument.

Farber and the team at Monument Lab were the inaugural grantees of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s “Monuments Project,” a $250 Million initiative to “transform the way our country’s histories are told in public spaces,” including Monument Lab’s National Monument Audit and the opening of research field offices throughout the United States. Farber has co-curated Monument Lab projects including its original Philadelphia City Hall discovery exhibition (Philadelphia, 2015), citywide public art and history exhibition (Philadelphia, 2017), A Call to Peace (Military Park Newark, 2019), Public Iconographies (Pulitzer Foundation, 2019-2020), and Staying Power (Village of Arts and Humanities, 2021).

Farber's research and curatorial projects explore transnational urban history, cultural memory, and creative approaches to civic engagement. He is author of A Wall of Our Own: An American History of the Berlin Wall (University of North Carolina Press, 2020) which tells the untold story of a group of American artists and writers (Leonard Freed, Angela Davis, Shinkichi Tajiri, and Audre Lorde) who found refuge along the Berlin Wall and in Cold War Germany in order to confront political divisions back home in the United States. He is also co-editor with Ken Lum of Monument Lab: Creative Speculations for Philadelphia (Temple University Press, 2019), a public art and history handbook designed to generate new critical ways of thinking about and building monuments.

In addition to his work with Monument Lab, Farber served as curator for the inaugural Artist-in-Residence Program at the Office of the District Attorney of Philadelphia (2020), keynote speaker for the Americans for the Arts national conference (2020), and Scholar in Residence at Mural Arts Philadelphia (2015–2017). He serves as an advisor to numerous monument and memorial projects including for the City of Newark and the Emmett Till Interpretive Center.

This event is in-person at the Michigan Theater. For more information, visit the Penny Stamps Speaker Series.

DIY Digital Scholarship: Timeline JS (November 18, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100624 100624-21800155@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 18, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Technology Services

In this DIY Digital Scholarship workshop, we will be discussing how to make timelines using Knight Lab’s Timeline JS. Timeline JS is an open-source and no-cost tool that builds interactive timelines with a range of media using nothing more than a Google Spreadsheet. The timelines can be shared by a direct link or embedded in web pages. This introduction to Timeline JS will be a hands-on workshop and participants will create a timeline using images, audio, and video. Furthermore, this workshop will provide best practices for accessibility, writing for the public, and including Timeline JS in the classroom. No previous experience is needed for this workshop but participants should have access to a Google account and Google Drive. Media and materials for the timeline creation will be provided.

A Zoom link will be emailed to participants before the workshop.

Workshop Series:

This workshop series tackles the question, what would your digital scholarship be if you were an independent scholar or no longer affiliated with the University of Michigan. What tools and platforms can you use to do your research or publication with a computer and an Internet connection? The different workshops in this series will cover learning skills and techniques to communicate information, ideas, and interpretations in a digital format with open access lightweight, portable technologies. Each workshop will focus on a different tool that has no direct cost to users and is straightforward to take with you if/when your affiliation with the university ends. DIY, or “do it yourself” for this workshop means that the tools covered have an emphasis on “making” or “crafting,” independence, and are no-to-low cost. Furthermore, while we are using DIY to describe these tools, there are elements of DIT (do it together) and all these tools have a large supportive community with comprehensive documentation and user guides. Often learning these tools can make you a more adaptable and flexible digital scholarship researcher, and allow you to pick new tools more quickly. This series of hands-on workshops are compatible with and complementary to the DS101 workshop series.

About the Exhibition
*La Pelea/The Fight* is a 46-foot panoramic oil-on-canvas. At the center of the “picture” and surrounded by a jeering crowd, the viewer becomes literally and conceptually involved as the one who is about to fight and defend themself. Depending on where the viewer is standing in the space, however, a different perspective can emerge, suggesting that even a public, collective experience is highly subjective.

Like much of Diaz’s work, *La Pelea/The Fight* brings into question the reliability of the narrator and the complexity of stories, especially as they pertain to the manipulation of facts and suggestions of criminality by the media and those in positions of power. It is timely in an era defined by polarity and politically driven half-truths and fictions, and a reminder that it is the necessary tension of a myriad of perspectives that bring us closer to some truth, rather than the singular view from where we are standing.

About the Artist
Born in 1977 in Mexico, Diaz considers image and information, and how the media and individuals represent stories to a different end. His immersive Panoramic paintings allow for the viewer to be witness, gaining a different perspective or experience depending on the positioning in relation to the work. His work is so original, fresh and contemporary, while at the same time harkening back to the traditions of Mexican muralists like Diego Rivera.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

With the “Hear, Here” series, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session. Today: “Making Place for Greek Islam” with William Stroebel.

About the talk:
This talk will open a small window onto the history of Greek-Language Islam (Greek written in the Arabic alphabet by Greek-speaking Muslims of the Ottoman Empire). I try to make a place in literary history for this refugee literature, which has been uprooted from modern civilizational and national narratives in both Europe and the Middle East. What value can Greek-language Islam offer us today, amidst the ongoing border crises and Islamophobia in places like Greece, the U.S., and elsewhere?

About William Stroebel:
William Stroebel is a 2022-23 Helmut F. Stern Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and assistant professor, classical studies and comparative literature.

Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies Fall Symposium: “Mizrahi Studies at the Intersection: Rewriting Body, Language, and Cultural Memory” (November 30, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/97313 97313-21794308@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 30, 2022 10:00am
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Judaic Studies

As an interdisciplinary formation, the field of Mizrahi Studies has generated engaged scholarship that questions the ready-made paradigms of knowledge production. A critical strain has been key to shaping a cross-border Mizrahi epistemology, performed in conversation with multiple fields such as ethnic and race studies, gender studies, cultural studies, and post/colonial studies. Yet the intellectual home of Mizrahi studies remains fraught with ambiguities, symptomatic of an in-between identity which does not always fit neatly into a single institutional space. The very name of the field, “Mizrahi,” exists in relation to other rubrics -- Sephardis, Arab Jews, Jews from Muslim countries, Middle Eastern Jews, Asian and African Jews, etc. -- each suggesting different mappings and frames of reference. Although not necessarily mutually exclusive, these diverse rubrics suggest the intricacies of a historically recent constructed identity and the multiple genealogies and orientations that mark this compelling area of inquiry. Critical Mizrahi scholars themselves, as writing subjects, have deepened the study of their own variegated communal stories and experiences across multiple geographies.

This symposium aims to address some of the key issues raised by Mizrahi studies as conceptualized through a transnational, transregional, multidirectional, and intersectional prism. Rather than produce a Mizrahi subject in isolation, the symposium will problematize any fixed understanding of Mizrahiness by highlighting the ways this concept is dynamically shaped by class, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, nation, and so forth. The symposium strives to illuminate Mizrahi studies as a critical field not simply about the Mizrahim but also about decolonization of knowledge. It hopes to interrogate established categories by asking what constitutes legitimate knowledge when ways of knowing may themselves have to be reconceptualized in a discursive climate saturated with hierarchical, exclusionary, and even violent assumptions? Some additional questions posed by the symposium include: Which methodological paradigms and epistemic frameworks enable the shaping of fragmented memories into a broader and more relational narrative? What kind of obstacles do scholars face in the process of carrying out research involving archival documentation and oral transmission, when such data collection is entangled in histories of obscuring and silencing? What challenges does an academically normative discourse pose for those writing on subjects that touch on traumatic experiences and memories, at once personal, familial, and communal? And what lessons could be learned from more self-reflexive research practices and coping strategies in terms of future scholarship. In sum, this one-day symposium brings together a committed group of scholars working within the broadly construed field of Mizrahi studies, while also reflecting on critical interventions in the field itself.

Like much of Diaz’s work, *La Pelea/The Fight* brings into question the reliability of the narrator and the complexity of stories, especially as they pertain to the manipulation of facts and suggestions of criminality by the media and those in positions of power. It is timely in an era defined by polarity and politically driven half-truths and fictions, and a reminder that it is the necessary tension of a myriad of perspectives that bring us closer to some truth, rather than the singular view from where we are standing.

About the Artist
Born in 1977 in Mexico, Diaz considers image and information, and how the media and individuals represent stories to a different end. His immersive Panoramic paintings allow for the viewer to be witness, gaining a different perspective or experience depending on the positioning in relation to the work. His work is so original, fresh and contemporary, while at the same time harkening back to the traditions of Mexican muralists like Diego Rivera.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Time at university may feel long but in reality it is just a moment, and one that is worth pausing to appreciate. We’re inviting students to come to the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and participate in the work of artist Salvador Diaz, whose exhibition-in-the-round La Pelea/The Fight immerses the viewer in a single moment with a 46-foot wrap-around piece that shows just how many perspectives can be present in a single moment or event. 

This immersive experience includes:

-A student-led guided tour of the exhibition
-An opportunity to add your personal perspective on the university experience to a collaborative wrap-around public art piece that exemplifies how the university experience is a single idea, yet multifaceted
-An ice-cream sundae bar with vegan options and lots of toppings!

This event is free and open to all. Pre-registration is required. Save your spots at https://myumi.ch/M9Aep.

Presented by the Public Humanities Interns at the Institute for the Humanities

Traces (January 11, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/101484 101484-21801399@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 11, 2023 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Traces explores the relationship between the past and the present with a focus on the process of transformation as the connecting thread. The work consists of a series of collages and a collection of Polaroids that are accompanied by animations and video clips seen solely through the use of an augmented reality application (Virtual Mutations).

The scenarios presented in the static images act as literal stages for animated narratives. What once was a captured single moment echoes into motion, creating an additional layer as to what will come thereafter. A dialogue between the past and the present is established and the app itself acts as a mediator between these tenses, allowing the observer to have a glimpse of the afterthought, that range from digital collages to Polaroid instant film.

About the Artist
Camila Magrane is a multimedia artist originally from Caracas, Venezuela. Having a father from the U.S. and a mother from Venezuela, she grew up alternating between both countries. Being fully exposed to two different cultures gave her a greater understanding of what it means to have various perspectives. After graduating from film school in Caracas, she moved to San Francisco where she freelanced as an editor and camera operator. After discovering a passion for video games and interactive media, Magrane obtained a BS in computer science with a concentration in game development. This eventually led her to working in the game industry as a cinematic artist.

Magrane has been pursuing a professional career as a multimedia artist since 2017, working within a variety of mediums, from photography and collage to animation and virtual/augmented reality (AR). She has been most noted for the creation of her AR image-based work where she’s established a postmodern aesthetic by combining traditional darkroom techniques with the use of digital tools.

Prior to her career in the arts, Magrane worked as a community organizer and teacher, creating and managing a curriculum for teaching 3rd-6th graders coding skills in public schools in Caracas, Venezuela. She continues to be active in community work by giving talks and workshops revolving around the topics of art, technology, and the use of AR as a creative medium.

Camila Magrane has exhibited work internationally in numerous exhibitions, event spaces, fairs, and festivals. Selected exhibitions & clients include The Academy of Sciences, The Exploratorium, Themes+Projects Gallery, Minnesota Street Project, MUKEK, Gray Area, Sothebys, and Adobe. Selected press inquiries include Forbes, Adobe Blog, Refinery29, Lenscratch, Las Vegas Weekly, Las Vegas Review Journal, and Open Studios Guide.

Traces (January 12, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/101484 101484-21801400@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 12, 2023 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Traces explores the relationship between the past and the present with a focus on the process of transformation as the connecting thread. The work consists of a series of collages and a collection of Polaroids that are accompanied by animations and video clips seen solely through the use of an augmented reality application (Virtual Mutations).

The scenarios presented in the static images act as literal stages for animated narratives. What once was a captured single moment echoes into motion, creating an additional layer as to what will come thereafter. A dialogue between the past and the present is established and the app itself acts as a mediator between these tenses, allowing the observer to have a glimpse of the afterthought, that range from digital collages to Polaroid instant film.

About the Artist
Camila Magrane is a multimedia artist originally from Caracas, Venezuela. Having a father from the U.S. and a mother from Venezuela, she grew up alternating between both countries. Being fully exposed to two different cultures gave her a greater understanding of what it means to have various perspectives. After graduating from film school in Caracas, she moved to San Francisco where she freelanced as an editor and camera operator. After discovering a passion for video games and interactive media, Magrane obtained a BS in computer science with a concentration in game development. This eventually led her to working in the game industry as a cinematic artist.

Magrane has been pursuing a professional career as a multimedia artist since 2017, working within a variety of mediums, from photography and collage to animation and virtual/augmented reality (AR). She has been most noted for the creation of her AR image-based work where she’s established a postmodern aesthetic by combining traditional darkroom techniques with the use of digital tools.

Prior to her career in the arts, Magrane worked as a community organizer and teacher, creating and managing a curriculum for teaching 3rd-6th graders coding skills in public schools in Caracas, Venezuela. She continues to be active in community work by giving talks and workshops revolving around the topics of art, technology, and the use of AR as a creative medium.

Camila Magrane has exhibited work internationally in numerous exhibitions, event spaces, fairs, and festivals. Selected exhibitions & clients include The Academy of Sciences, The Exploratorium, Themes+Projects Gallery, Minnesota Street Project, MUKEK, Gray Area, Sothebys, and Adobe.

Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

With the “Hear, Here” series, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session. Today: "History and the Passing Novel" with Aida Levy-Hussen.

About this talk:
Racial passing novels, in which African American characters attempt to live as white, have been a fixture of American literature from the nineteenth-century to the present. This talk turns a curious eye toward twenty-first century iterations of the form. The talk will include, as necessary context, a sketched history of the passing novel; but my deeper interest lies in how contemporary literature has grappled, both thematically and formally, with the subject of history.

About Aida Levy-Hussen:
Aida Levy-Hussen is a 2022-23 Hunting Family Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and associate professor, English language and literature.

Data, what is it, how and why is it managed, and why do granting agencies care? In this workshop we will talk about what counts as “data” from various definitions, including the National Endowment for the Humanities. Participants will go over the ethical concerns and considerations covered and answered by a data management plan, as well as the practical skills needed in developing and writing a data management plan. This workshop will cover topics such as collection and storage, consent agreements, and contingencies for sensitive information and data. At the end of the workshop, participants will understand how data management plans can help protect and archive their research, help with the IRB process, and contribute significantly to the sustainability of their project.

A Zoom link will be emailed on hour before the workshop.

Digital Scholarship 101: Workshop Series
This series of workshops helps scholars avoid outdated projects, unpreserved knowledge, uncredited labor, and privacy or consent issues by emphasizing process in the project life cycle. Workshop participants learn how to conceptualize the life cycle of a project using human-centered design and backwards modelling when planning their projects to better understand how to version, archive, and preserve their research projects. Throughout the series, thematic questions around sustainability, preservation, accessibility, privacy, consent, grant requirements, and teaching with research will be examined. We encourage you to come with a project in mind and bring materials if available, but is not required to attend.

After discovering a passion for video games and interactive media, Magrane obtained a BS in computer science with a concentration in game development. This eventually led her to working in the game industry as a cinematic artist.

Magrane has been pursuing a professional career as a multimedia artist since 2017, working within a variety of mediums, from photography and collage to animation and virtual/augmented reality (AR). She has been most noted for the creation of her AR image-based work where she’s established a postmodern aesthetic by combining traditional darkroom techniques with the use of digital tools.

Prior to her career in the arts, Magrane worked as a community organizer and teacher, creating and managing a curriculum for teaching 3rd-6th graders coding skills in public schools in Caracas, Venezuela. She continues to be active in community work by giving talks and workshops revolving around the topics of art, technology, and the use of AR as a creative medium.

Camila Magrane has exhibited work internationally in numerous exhibitions, event spaces, fairs, and festivals. Selected exhibitions & clients include The Academy of Sciences, The Exploratorium, Themes+Projects Gallery, Minnesota Street Project, MUKEK, Gray Area, Sothebys, and Adobe. Selected press inquiries include Forbes, Adobe Blog, Refinery29, Lenscratch, Las Vegas Weekly, Las Vegas Review Journal, and Open Studios Guide.

Traces (January 24, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/101484 101484-21801412@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 24, 2023 9:00am
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Traces explores the relationship between the past and the present with a focus on the process of transformation as the connecting thread. The work consists of a series of collages and a collection of Polaroids that are accompanied by animations and video clips seen solely through the use of an augmented reality application (Virtual Mutations).

The scenarios presented in the static images act as literal stages for animated narratives. What once was a captured single moment echoes into motion, creating an additional layer as to what will come thereafter. A dialogue between the past and the present is established and the app itself acts as a mediator between these tenses, allowing the observer to have a glimpse of the afterthought, that range from digital collages to Polaroid instant film.

Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

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

Across the world monuments are being torn down and dragged away as if they never existed. But what is lost when we no longer have to face who we once were? Considering ways to radically expand and complicate our monuments’ vocabularies through physical revision, this talk will present proposed design corrections to the Washington Monument. The talk will include a brief historical trace of the monument itself and drawings-in-progress of its imagined alterations.
