Her research interests include disability ethics\, medicine and the visual arts\, and theological bioethics. Dr. Stahl’s last book\, Imaging and Imagining Illness: Becoming Whole in a Broken Body is an edited volume examining the power of medical images on the experience of chronic illness and disability.\n\nAbstract: Many people will first learn they have an illness through a medical image such as an MRI\, but these images often deny the messiness\, ambiguities\, and the identity of the patient who is represented in them. In this presentation\, Devan Stahl explores how medical images have historically revealed the implicit theology of the culture in which they are produced. Today\, a growing number of artists with disabilities are transforming their medical images into works of art\, which raise deeply theological questions concerning what it means to be embodied and how our bodies relate to a transcendent God.

DESCRIPTION:RSVP to receive Zoom link: cew.umich.edu/events/cewinspire-workshop-promoting-gender-equity-in-the-professions-what-can-we-learn-from-academic-medicine\n\nPresenter: Reshma Jagsi\, MD\, DPhil\, CEW+ 2020 Carol Hollenshead Inspire Award for Excellence in Promoting Equity & Social Change Award Winner\n\nThis session will provide an overview of the presenter’s journey to study the promotion of gender equity in medicine. Dr. Reshma Jagsi will discuss in detail the evidence that her research team and others have gathered to demonstrate the impact of the differential challenges that women in medicine face (unconscious biases\, gendered expectations of society\, and overt discrimination and harassment) and their evidence-based recommendations regarding: \n\n- how advocacy can lead both to the development of beneficial pipeline programs and policies governing work-life integration\;\n- the cultural transformation efforts of national organizations (like AAMC\, NIH\, the National Academies\, and TIME'S UP Healthcare) to promote gender equity and discourage sexual harassment\; and\n- using social media to build communities where individuals might once have been isolated as \"the only\" one of their demographic characteristics before.\n\nFollowing this\, Dr. Jagsi will moderate a panel of four esteemed colleagues from the medical school\, Dr. Dana Telem\, Dr. Eve Kerr\, Dr. Jack Iwashyna\, and Dr. Timothy Johnson. They will have an interactive discussion of insights that can be applied from their experiences in medicine to inform efforts to promote equity in the professions more generally.\n\nFormat:\n\nAn important starting point within this workshop will be an examination of our own culture and identity journey\, utilizing Milner’s (2010) Culture of Power framework to engage participants in small group discussion before larger themes are brought back to the larger group – issues related to educational disparities that originate within society when students are young\, yet lead into many of the inequities that are still highly visible within higher education.\n\nIn addition\, an integral part of the Inspire initiative is pairing advocacy\, social change\, and activism with skills that enhance a sense of wellbeing\, focus and interconnectedness. A short guided Mindfulness Meditation practice will be incorporated into the program.\n\nReshma Jagsi\, MD\, DPhil.\, is the Newman Family Professor and Deputy Chair in the Department of Radiation Oncology and director of the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine at the University of Michigan. An internationally recognized clinical trialist and health services researcher in the field of breast cancer\, Dr. Jagsi has co-authored over 300 publications. She has also devoted a substantial portion of her service to the institution and her scholarly effort to promoting gender equity in academic medicine. She is a frequently invited lecturer on this subject\, having delivered keynote or plenary talks at the National Institutes of Health\, the National Academies\, the Association of American Medical Colleges\, the American Medical Association\, and for dozens of other institutions and medical specialty organizations in the US and abroad. Her investigations of women’s under-representation in senior positions in academic medicine and the mechanisms that must be targeted to promote equity have been funded by an NIH R01 grant and grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, Doris Duke Foundation\, AMA\, and other philanthropic funders. Active in organized medicine\, she has served on the Steering Committee of the AAMC’s Group on Women in Medicine in Science\, which recently recognized her with its Leadership Award.

What we did not know at the time is that many schools would struggle to open at all in the Fall of 2020 and online and remote learning would continue to be one of the primary ways that children were educated for the rest of the 2020-21 school year. Today\, the question remains: What will parents\, educators\, and researchers need to consider regarding achievement and learning gains as children are likely to return to in-person schooling in Fall 2021? Dr. Pamela Davis-Kean will discuss her research on how homeschooling was discussed on social media\, the issues related to “holding back” or repeating a grade in primary school\, and how new proposed policies for free community college may be important for helping those in secondary education get extra time to develop skills for entry into a four-year college.

By reading texts contrapuntally\, Said argues\, we are in a better position to understand the presence of colonialism in British novels such as the reference to Australia in David Copperfield or India in Jane Eyre. Furthermore\, contrapuntal reading must take account of both processes\, that of imperialism and that of resistance to it. This method of reading is still relevant and can serve as a corrective to today’s liberal discourse of inclusion and diversity. Current DEI efforts in the universities\, corporations and elsewhere as a result of systemic racism and exclusion laid bare by the pandemic and police violence are commendable\, but have their limits. Much like the push for multiculturalism in an earlier conjuncture\, the liberal discourse of DEI runs the risk of reifying differences and (un)consciously upholds the status quo without interrogating and dismantling the very system that made those differences possible in the first place. In the gesture of acceptance and tolerance\, liberalism continues to sustain white privilege and espouse colonial benevolence. And if we can place postwar liberalism as the dominant ideology in the United States responsible for establishing Area Studies as part of its anti-Communist effort\, a benign racism has been fundamental to the formation of our disciplines and knowledge production.\n \n Contrapuntal reading\, I suggest\, is useful in understanding the constituting and co-figuring of metropolitan and colonial relations that while addressing the minoritarian position of the colonized\, does not normalize the status of the colonizer. Furthermore\, contrapuntal reading can be extended to analyze the transition and translation between empires\, or what I am calling the transimperial to contextualize\, for example\, the shift from Japanese to American empire in postwar East Asia. Contrapuntal reading\, however\, is not simply descriptive in pointing out the presence and traces of empire in metropolitan and colonial texts. It requires imagination (and luck!) in juxtaposing and associating texts that are normally taught separately in different contexts to illuminate their contrapuntal relations. This webinar will present concrete examples from literature\, film\, popular culture and social theory intended for undergraduate teaching.\n \n Leo Ching is Professor in the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Duke University. His research interests include colonial discourse studies\, postcolonial theory\, Japanese mass culture\, and theories of globalization and regionalism.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

This talk investigates Lagrangian (mobile) control of traffic flow at local scale (vehicular level)\, and how self-driving vehicles will change traffic flow patterns. Professor Bayen describes approaches based on deep\, reinforcement learning presented in the context of enabling mixed-autonomy mobility. This lecture also explores the gradual and complex integration of automated vehicles into the existing traffic system. Attendees will learn the potential impact of a small fraction of automated vehicles on low-level traffic flow dynamics\, using novel techniques in model-free\, deep reinforcement learning\, in which the automated vehicles act as mobile (Lagrangian) controllers to traffic flow.\n\nIllustrative examples will be presented in the context of a new\, open-source computational platform called FLOW\, which integrates state-of-the-art microsimulation tools with deep-RL libraries on AWS EC2.

Using the bitterly-contested Algerian Civil War as a case study\, Joseph Ford argues that\, while literature is frequently understood as an illuminating and emancipatory tool\, it can\, in fact\, restrain our understanding of the world during a time of crisis and further entrench the polarized discourses that lead to conflict in the first place. Ford demonstrates how Francophone Algerian literature\, along with the cultural and academic criticism that has surrounded it\, has mobilized visions of Algeria over the past thirty years that often belie the complex and multi-layered realities of power\, resistance\, and conflict in the region.\nJoseph Ford is Lecturer in French Studies and Director of the Center for the Study of Cultural Memory at the Institute of Modern Languages Research in London. He is the author of Writing the Black Decade: Conflict and Criticism in Francophone Algerian Literature (2021). He specializes in contemporary French and Francophone Literature and Culture\, with specific interests in Algeria and what has become known as the Algerian Civil War or \"Black Decade\" of the 1990s. His wider research interests are in postcolonial studies\, world literature\, literary translation\, and French and Francophone intellectual culture of the 20th and 21st centuries.\nImen Neffati is Junior Research Fellow at Pembroke College\, Oxford. She is a historian of modern France and North Africa\, with a broader interest in religion\, secularism\, and modernity. Her research concerns the study of religious identities\, particularly Muslim identities in North Africa and France. She is currently building up a project that examines inheritance law and debates over its reform in Tunisia. She is also working on a monograph that examines the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and its predecessor Hara Kiri.\n\nAdvance Registration Required: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUpduqvqD8uEtfuYmNPvI6kBQ3ofB4gKwkc UID:82652-21153693@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/82652 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Jewish Studies LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210503T080858 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210514T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210514T213000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Nam Center NEKST Graduate Conference | 8th International Conference of NextGen Korean Studies Scholars (NEKST) DESCRIPTION:Full conference details: https://ii.umich.edu/ncks/news-events/events/conferences---symposia/8th-international-conference-of-nextgen-korean-studies-scholars.html\n\nPlease note: This session will be held virtually EST through Zoom.
