The Political Ecology Workshop (PEW) is an interdisciplinary space for scholars at all career stages with interests in political ecology and related critical approaches to the study of environment-society interactions. PEW brings together a range of divisions across campus, including Anthropology, History, Environment and Sustainability, Political Science, Sociology, and all Area Studies departments and programs. We have founded a collaborative, multidisciplinary community with a shared investment questioning how environments and societies are co-produced and the ways in which power and inequality impact the dynamics and understandings of this co-production. We have run PEW as an RIW for two years and all the workshops have been possible from our committed participants from diverse fields. This year, we intend to develop our membership further by inviting scholars from broader fields and promoting PEW on listservs across campus.

PEW supports graduate student development, including for earlier-stage students seeking interdisciplinary conversations as they develop environment-society research projects and later-stage students seeking to incorporate political ecology into their work. PEW emphasizes dedicated time for graduate students to receive feedback on their work and facilitates faculty-student mentorship. It allows students to access a range of critical environmental studies perspectives they might not have encountered through coursework or departmental activities, and to grow from the feedback and insight of faculty and peers who share this commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship and professional development.

At this Psych/BCN exploration event, the Psychology Department Peer Advisors will present an overview of the Psych and BCN majors, transfer credit resources, career and grad school pathways, and more! The Peer Advisors will also offer advice on how to make the most of your Psych/BCN major at UM, such as engaging with research opportunities, internships, and student orgs. There will be time for Q&A as well. FREE PIZZA!!!!!!! Open to all students.

Can't make it? The event will also be recorded and shared afterwards with students who registered on Sessions.

Please sign up here to attend Center for Campus Involvement's New Organization Orientation. This session is required for any student who wishes to start a new organization.

Welcome to the Arabic Placement Test
About the test
The test is approximately three hours in length, and it is composed of three portions:
a. The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.
b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site, and it is worth a total of 48 points.
c. Right after finishing with the reading portion, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.
Important:
a. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.
b. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.

Where can I view my results?
a. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.
b. You will not be notified of your score automatically.
c. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.

Important information about the test
* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in, you will be required to retake the test.
* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.
* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test.
* Students who took or are currently enrolled in an Arabic course are not eligible to take the Arabic placement test. They should register for the next course level.
* The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), NOT colloquial Arabic.
* If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge, feel free to register in Arabic 101.
* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.
* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.
* If you place in or beyond the 401 level, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement.
* Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.
* Arabic 101, 201, 401, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester, and Arabic 102, 202, 402, 504, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.
* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.

UM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of formal Arabic (fuSHa).

If you have questions regarding the placement test, please contact the program director at, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

Dr. Angie Calabrese Barton, Dr. Wisam Sedawi, and research team members will talk about their FamJam Project, supporting powerful learning in middle school STEM.
Equity-logics for designing new activity systems toward rightful familial presence in middle school STEM
Minoritized parents have historically been sidelined in parent-school engagement opportunities. Research-practice-partnerships (RPP) have been one way to bring together stakeholders across communities in collective sense-making. We explore the design and enactment of a new activity system where minoritized parents, their middle school children, science teachers, and researchers engaged in the FamJam RPP, co-design and enact engineering curriculum that centers community and seeds rightful familial presence in middle school STEM. Guided by frameworks of rightful presence, RPPs for learning at the boundaries, and cultural historical activity theory, the findings highlight new possibilities for family engagement through considering the underlying logics of equity. These include spatial and temporal equity, solidarity for equitable collaboration, collective responsibility for justice oriented STEM, and fostering STEM for thriving and democratic citizenry.
In this presentation we share two case studies: one focusing on students and examining how transnational youth make sense of climate change across personal, local, and global contexts, and another focusing on teachers, investigating how minoritized educators developed critical transformative agency by collaborating with families to co‑design and implement climate justice education.
This event is presented by the Eileen Lappin Weiser Center for the Learning Sciences. Light snacks and beverages will be provided. Attendees are invited to bring their lunch.

The insidious legacy of eugenics lives on in the techno-surveillance, algorithmic authoritarianism, and data-driven discrimination of Big Tech. This talk illuminates the throughline between the 19th century's anti-immigration and eugenics movements and our sprawling systems of techno-surveillance and algorithmic discrimination. I'll address how the AI-driven and market-based models of Big Tech are built on data that exploit women, immigrant groups, and other minoritized populations, amplifying social hierarchies and AI's predictions of majoritarian outcomes as the most probable and “ideal” futures. But it doesn’t have to be this way. This talk explains how it happened and how we can fight back.

What does a motor company and its founder have to do with religion in America? A lot, it turns out. Henry Ford did not just mass produce cars. As a member of the Episcopal Church, reader of New Thought texts, believer in the “gospel of reincarnation,” mass marketer of antisemitic material, and employer who institutionalized a social gospel, Henry Ford’s contributions to American models of business were informed by and produced for an America he understood to be broadly Christian. Though Ford’s efforts at the head of the Ford Motor Company have commonly been understood as secular, the Motor King was explicit that his work in engineering and auto production was prophetic and meant to remake the world. This talk offers a religious history of Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company, repositioning them within critical studies of religion and examining how Ford transformed American religion in the twentieth century.

As we navigate an increasingly complex social and political landscape, the need for robust democratic engagement has never been more vital. At its core, democracy thrives not just through the ballot box, but through our ability to foster discourse, practice inclusive decision-making, and build resilient communities.
On behalf of the Dialogue Michigan planning team, we invite you to join us for our next networking event, where we will explore a practical tool for this civic work.
Why Community Circle Processes Matter for Democracy: Democratic engagement requires us to move beyond "debate" and toward "dialogue." Circle processes provide a structured way to do exactly that and to be in community. Rooted in First Nation and Indigenous peacemaking practices, these processes create an egalitarian space where:
Every voice is centered: The use of a talking piece ensures that all participants have the space to be heard without interruption.
Power is shared: The circular structure removes traditional hierarchies, encouraging collective responsibility and transparency.
Community is restored: It offers a framework for navigating conflict and making decisions that reflect the needs of the whole, rather than just the majority.
This workshop will be interactive, providing you with the opportunity to experience a circle firsthand and learn how to bring these restorative practices into your work and community spaces.
