The "Engaged Mentoring" series is for faculty mentors of research trainees at any stage of training. This program is an evidence-based, interactive approach designed to elevate mentoring skills for engaging in productive, culturally responsive research mentoring relationships. The program aims to accelerate the process of becoming an effective research mentor by providing mentors with an intellectual framework, an opportunity to experiment with various methods, and a forum in which to solve mentoring dilemmas with the help of their peers. By the end of the program, mentors will have articulated their style and philosophy of mentoring and have a toolbox of strategies for approaching difficult mentoring situations. These skills will support the success of both mentors and mentees, and it is responsive to the NIGMS guidelines regarding the preparation of mentors involved in training grants.

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.

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.

For the 2025–26 academic year, Mediterranean Topographies (Meditopos) will be organized around the theme of home in the Mediterranean, which broadly includes domestic and private spaces. This interdisciplinary research workshop will explore domestic and private spaces not only as sites of personal and cultural significance but also as zones of political tension, displacement, surveillance, and resistance. How do personal experiences intersect with histories of migration, conflict, surveillance, and belonging? What does it mean to make, find, leave, or lose a home in times of political and climate instability? We will consider the meanings and materialities of ‘home’ across the Mediterranean region. From physical structures to affective attachments, we’ll explore how home is imagined, inhabited, and contested from diverse disciplinary perspectives. The workshop draws from multiple departments and programs at Michigan, including Comparative Literature, History, Anthropology, Middle East Studies, Romance Languages and Literatures, History of Art, Slavic Studies, English, and Classics, aiming to create a collaborative space linking across departments. We hope to foster interdisciplinary conversations about intimate, political, and symbolic dimensions of home in past and present Mediterranean contexts.

The Erasure Poetry Workshop is a participatory session within the 30th National Poetry Month Erasure Symposium, hosted by University of Michigan Library in the Hatcher Gallery. The symposium brings together scholars, practitioners, artists, and community members to explore how erasure operates across institutional, archival, cultural, and political contexts — and how it is challenged in practice.
This erasure poetry workshop emphasizes shared inquiry, hands-on exploration, and collective reflection. Led by poet & educator Caro New, the session will begin with a brief introduction to erasure poetry — including questions of authorship, found text, and the ethical implications of erasure — followed by guided creative exercises.
This session is designed to be accessible to participants from a wide range of disciplines and roles. Participants will work directly with existing texts to create their own erasure poems, experimenting with language, absence, and meaning through material and embodied practice.
Participants can expect:
Brief framing remarks and provocations from the facilitator
Guided small-group discussion
Opportunities to reflect on erasure as it shows up in your own work, research, or community
A structured but flexible space for dialogue rather than debate
No advance preparation is required.

Facilitator: CAROLINE HARPER NEW
Raised in the South of Georgia, poet Caroline Harper New's work is rooted in the precarious landscape of the Gulf Coast, where she reckons with love’s potential for violence in human and animal worlds.
As a scholar and an artist, her practice spans anthropology, poetry, sculpture, painting, film, translation, and the tendons in between. Her recent work deals with human & non-human entanglements, ruptures in temporality, and the relationship between death and extinction.
New is the author of A History of Half-Birds (Milkweed Editions, 2024) winner of the Ballard Spahr Prize for Poetry. Selected by poet Maggie Smith, this debut collection of poems explores the aftermath of history’s most powerful forces: devotion, disaster, and us. She has a chapbook, If I Call This Cave a Garden (2025 winner of the vinyl45 chapbook prize) forthcoming with YesYes Books in 2026.
New has been awarded multiple Hopwood Prizes for her poetry, drama, and nonfiction works. She earned her M.F.A. in Poetry at the University of Michigan, where she is currently a Ph.D. student in Anthropology.

To support thoughtful and respectful engagement, participants will be asked to:
Listen with openness and curiosity
Speak from personal or professional experience
Respect confidentiality when sensitive experiences are shared
Allow for disagreement without dismissal

This workshop prioritizes care, complexity, and mutual respect. If you have accessibility needs or questions about participating in this session, please contact j. Oceano Idyllwild (oceano@umich.edu). We are committed to making this workshop as accessible as possible.
