iDEI Talks: Lightning Talks at the Intersections of Information, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Join us for UMSI's annual iDEI Talks: Lightning Talks at the Intersections of Information, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion event! It will be held on April 14, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm on Zoom. Throughout this past year, UMSI has been working diligently to weave DEI into all facets of our school. To highlight these efforts this Ted-style talk event will feature 6 talks from students, staff, and faculty members at the School of Information. This event is designed to amplify efforts that connect with diversity, equity & inclusion across scholarship, teaching and learning, service and administration. We hope to stimulate ideas, conversation, collaboration, and action.

Presenters + Talks:

  • Audrey Labrie and Rahaf Alharbi - Understanding the Motivations and Practices of Disabled Live Streamers
  • Ricky Punzalan - Re-Connect/Re-Collect: Reparative Connections and Collections at the University of Michigan
  • Cassidy Pyle - LGBTQ Persons’ Pregnancy Loss Disclosures to Known Ties on Social Media
  • Hanna Hoover- Civil Rights Restoration and Recidivism
  • Malana Chan - Empowering Asian American Communities during COVID-19
  • Luke Kudryashov - Participatory Design of Assistive Communication Technology with Autistic Adults

We will also have a special performance by the Guild Poetry, a collage of renowned, Michigan-based artists that have collectively performed throughout the country. Approaching spoken word with an unapologetic style of storytelling, these artists are best known for their honest and original spoken word poetry, which centers around the principles of social consciousness, scholarship, diversity, love, community action, and education.

This event is open to the University of Michigan community, newly admitted UMSI students, and prospective UMSI students and is sponsored by UMSI's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Office (DEIO).
