SUMMARY:Henry Lovejoy: Probabilities of African Origins: The Collapse of the Kingdom of Oyo and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade\, 1816-1836
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Henry Lovejoy’s lecture\, “Probabilities of African Origins: The Collapse of the Kingdom of Oyo and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade\, 1816-1836.” \nWhile scholars have amassed large amounts of data related to the transatlantic slave trade\, a more pressing question lingers: Where did those 12.7 million people come from within pre-colonial West Africa before boarding slave ships destined for the Americas? The answer is complex for two reasons: 1) many sub-Saharan peoples did not have written orthographies until the mid-to-late nineteenth century (suggesting their histories were largely undocumented); and 2) Africa lacks reliable historical maps compared to other heavily populated regions of the world (meaning internal geo-political transformations are frequently misunderstood\, especially before the colonization and decolonization of the continent). This digital mapping project seeks to visualize and calculate the probabilities of African origins of enslaved people in diaspora by using two open-source applications: Quantum Geographic Information System and R Project for Statistical Computing. By presenting geo-referenced data of intra-African conflict alongside slave ship departures\, it is possible to generate statistical models capable of predicting large-scale\, inland migrations on an annual basis. This interdisciplinary project appeals to scholars interested in exploring the relationship between conflict\, slavery and abolition in the Atlantic world.\n*** \nAbout the Speaker:\nHenry Lovejoy specializes in the history of Africa and the African Diaspora in the Atlantic World during the era of the transatlantic slave trade. He is the author of Prieto: Yorùbá Kingship in Colonial Cuba During the Age of Revolutions (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press\, 2018). Through the website LiberatedAfricans.org\, he traces the lives of over 250\,000 enslaved Africans involved in international efforts to abolish the Atlantic and Indian Ocean slave trades after 1807. He is also the director of the popular education image repository SlaveryImages.org. His research has received support from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada\, Fulbright-Hays\, The Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University\, and the University of Colorado Boulder.

SUMMARY:Celebrate 50 Years of Black Studies at UWM
DESCRIPTION:Fifty years ago\, students in Wisconsin and across the country struggled to create a place for Black Studies in the university. The Center for Afro-American Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee was approved in 1968 and opened in 1969\, evolving over time into a department that today offers undergraduate and graduate degrees. In the five intervening decades\, students and faculty continued to create scholarship centering the unique and critical perspectives and knowledge of Africans and the African Diaspora. Our keynote speaker\, Dr. Evelyn Higginbotham\, is an esteemed alumna and Honorary degree recipient who was on campus at the time of the student struggles for Black Studies. Dr. Higginbotham is the former chair of African and African American Studies and current chair of History at Harvard University. \nProf. Higginbotham will reflect on the important history of Black Studies programs on our campus as well as the urgent need for African and African Diaspora Studies in our world today and for our future. After her presentation she will join in a conversation with Dan Burrell (one the student demonstrators during the inception of the department and its first Chair)\, Clayborn Benson (a UWM alum and director of the Wisconsin Black Historical Society)\, and Charmane Perry (a graduate of the department’s PhD program) to discuss the turbulent days of the program’s establishment and how Black Studies programs continue to press for transformation of campuses and communities. \nPlease join us! This event is free and open to the public!

SUMMARY:Women Film Pioneers Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Women Film Pioneers Symposium on April 19! This half-day event is scheduled in conjunction with three programs of films by early women directors at the Oriental Theatre on Friday night\, Saturday afternoon\, and Saturday night\, organized by Milwaukee Film. \n \nAbout the Symposium\nFilm and media scholars have long been interested in questions of gender equity and representation\, from theorizing gender to restoring the historical contributions of women as subjects\, producers\, and spectators. In recent years this work has been facilitated by a return to the archives and their material sources: from newspaper clippings and correspondence to production files and film prints. \nAs this research has revealed\, women’s participation in the first decades of cinema was much more extensive than previously thought. Not only as colorists\, camera operators\, and exhibitors\, but also as screenwriters\, directors\, and producers\, women played an integral role in the early artistic development of the medium\, bringing unique viewpoints and an imaginative exploration of crucial topics of the time\, many of which remain surprisingly relevant today. The Women Film Pioneers Symposium brings four leading early cinema scholars together to explore questions of historiography\, archival research\, and affect. \nOrganized by Hugo Ljungbäck and Tami Williams. Milwaukee Film screenings curated by Tami Williams\, with Haley Richards. \nPresentations\n\nJane Gaines\, “Pink-Slipped: What Happened to Women in the Silent Film Industries?”\nJennifer M. Bean\, “Feminist Curiosity\, Genre Films\, and the Poetics of Wonder”\nMaggie Hennefeld\, “Anything But a Dead Letter: Archives of Laughter\, Film\, and Feminism”\nShelley Stamp\, “Women and the Silent Screen: A Short History of the History”\n\nAbout the Speakers:\nJane Gaines is Professor of Film at Columbia University. She is author of Contested Culture: The Image\, the Voice\, and the Law (1991)\, Fire and Desire: Mixed Race Movies in the Silent Era (2001)\, and Pink-Slipped: What Happened to Women in the Silent Film Industries? (2018)\, and founder of the Women Film Pioneers Project. She won the Society for Cinema and Media Studies Distinguished Career Award in 2018. \nJennifer M. Bean is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature and Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Washington. She is co-editor of Silent Cinema and the Politics of Space (2014) and A Feminist Reader in Early Cinema (2002)\, and an advisory board member for the National Film Preservation Foundation and the British Film Institute. She is currently an NEH Digital Humanities fellow for “Junking Modernity.” \nMaggie Hennefeld is Assistant Professor of Cultural Studies & Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota\, Twin Cities. She is author of Specters of Slapstick and Silent Film Comediennes (2018) and co-editor of Unwatchable (2019) and Abjection Incorporated (forthcoming). She is currently a Mellon Faculty Fellow in residence at Princeton University’s Institute for Advanced Study in the School of Historical Studies. \nShelley Stamp holds the Presidential Chair at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where she is Professor of Film & Digital Media.

SUMMARY:Dan Kaufman: The Fall of Wisconsin: The Legacy of Divide-and-Conquer Politics and the Aftermath of the 2018 Elections
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this special talk on “The Fall of Wisconsin: The Legacy of Divide-and-Conquer Politics and the Aftermath of the 2018 Elections” with author Dan Kaufman. \nThe 2010 midterm elections\, fueled by a wave of Tea Party anger\, were among the most consequential in American history. Nowhere was this more true than in Wisconsin\, which elected Scott Walker to the governorship and gave Republicans majorities in both houses of the state legislature. With control of all three branches of government for the first time since 1998\, the state’s Republican leaders began a campaign to dismantle Wisconsin’s century-old progressive legacy in every area: labor rights\, environmental protection\, voting rights\, government transparency. The success of these efforts turned Wisconsin into a conservative laboratory for activists and organizations from across the country. \nIn his talk\, journalist Dan Kaufman will examine this attempt to transform Wisconsin’s political culture\, which culminated in Donald Trump’s Wisconsin victory in the 2016 election. Kaufman will focus special attention on the citizen activists who fought these efforts\, as well as national Democratic Party leaders who largely ignored them. He will also delve into the history of Wisconsin’s progressive tradition and that legacy’s profound influence on the nation. The first workman’s compensation program\, the first unemployment insurance program\, the first progressive income tax all came from Wisconsin\, while much of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal\, including the Social Security Act\, was drafted by Wisconsinites loyal to the Wisconsin Idea\, an ethos that placed a moral obligation on the University of Wisconsin to improve the lives of the state’s citizens. \nFinally\, Kaufman will look at the aftermath of Wisconsin’s 2018 midterm elections\, during which the Republican-controlled state legislature passed several bills stripping important powers from the governorship and attorney general’s office\, once again thrusting Wisconsin’s politics to the center of national debate. \nAbout the Author:\nDan Kaufman is the author of The Fall of Wisconsin: The Conservative Conquest of a Progressive Bastion and the Future of American Politics (W.W. Norton\, 2018). He has also written for The New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker. \nEvent Parking:\nParking for this talk will be available in the UWM Union Garage at 2200 E Kenwood Blvd. You can find more information about on-campus parking\, including rates and locations\, here.

SUMMARY:Bending the Archive: Zines\, Archiving\, and the Digital Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a roundtable discussion featuring Jenna Freedman (Barnard Library\, NYC)\, Milo Miller (UWM and the Queer Zine Archive Project)\, and Lane Hall (English\, UWM). \nZines are non-commercial publications made by ordinary people using a variety of techniques including Xerography\, illustration\, silkscreen printing\, and collage. Often associated with the punk and riot grrrl movements of the 1980s and 90s\, zines are ephemeral and idiosyncratic\, personal and political\, circulated in independent book stores\, comic shops and through informal networks of exchange. Thirty years on\, zine culture is still vital\, and it has begun to reckon with its own history. \nAs universities\, libraries\, and other institutions begin to make space for zines in their collections\, there are ethical concerns to be negotiated in their preservation\, digitization\, and in access. This roundtable will discuss key issues in the digital humanities as they pertain to the archiving of zines in particular\, and archiving subcultures\, marginalized communities\, and ephemera in general. \nAbout the Speakers: \nJenna Freedman is a zine librarian and makes zines. She is the Associate Director of Communications at the Barnard Library in NYC. She has published articles on zine librarianship and presented on that topic as well as on other themes of library activism. \nMilo Miller is a Graphic Designer in the College of Letters & Science at UWM and co-founder of the Queer Zine Archive Project (QZAP). \nLane Hall is a Professor of English at UWM\, as well as a multi-media artist and writer and co-founder of the Overpass Light Brigade (OLB).

SUMMARY:Nicholas Mirzoeff: The World of Statues: Mobility\, Whiteness and the Infrastructures of Race
DESCRIPTION:Jeannette Ehlers\, The Gaze (2018)\n \nPlease join us for a lecture by Nicholas Mirzoeff called “The World of Statues: Mobility\, Whiteness and the Infrastructures of Race.” \nIn this presentation\, Mirzoeff will consider what Frantz Fanon called the colonial “world of statues.” By this he meant both the widespread physical presence of colonial statues and museums\, and the colonial refusal to allow mobility. These statues and their preservation of immobility form the infrastructures of “race” in material form. The dispossessed claim mobility and deploy their capacity. To sustain these claims\, new infrastructures are required—first of services\, and then of what Mirzoeff calls “appearance\,” the right to appear and be seen as a fully human person. \nThere will be a light reception at the Center for 21st Century Studies (Curtin 939) following the event. \n  \n*Join us also in the C21 office (Curtin 939) at noon on Friday for a special brown bag discussion with Mirzoeff. \nAbout the Speaker: \nNicholas Mirzoeff is professor of media\, culture and communication at NYU. A writer and activist\, he has recently curated the exhibit “Decolonizing Appearance” at the Center for Art Migration Politics\, Copenhagen (Sep 2018 – Mar 2019). His The Appearance of Black Lives Matter is a free e-book from NAME Publications and was also published in limited edition hard-cover with a graphic essay by artist Carl Pope and a poem by Karen Pope.
