SUMMARY:Department of Romance Languages and Literatures Invited MLK\, Jr. Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Title: Afro-Brazilian Political Activism and Representation \nSpeaker: Ollie Johnson\, Professor\, Department of African American Studies\, Wayne State University \nAbstract: This lecture explores the question of Black political activism and racial representation in Brazilian politics.  In the last 40 years\, affirmative action\, racial inequality\, and racial discrimination have entered the national political agenda.  Black activists have long demanded specific policies to improve the social\, economic\, and political situation of Afro-Brazilians. The implementation of affirmative action policies in higher education has emphasized the significance of race\, class\, and social inclusion.  Black politicians and leaders are often the most committed defenders of affirmative action and pro-racial equality policies. This lecture will focus on leading Black activists and organizations and their demands for social change. Afro-Brazilians are dramatically underrepresented among Brazil’s political elite. \nThis presentation will also examine the degree to which Black elected and appointed officials prioritize Afro-Brazilians in their work.  Which political parties and states of the country have produced more Afro-Brazilian government officials?  Workers’ Party/PT presidents Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rouseff have appointed more Black cabinet members than other presidents.  Despite advances in racial representation\, Afro-Brazilians remain in a fragile socio-economic and political situation.  Their concerns and welfare are not top priorities for Brazil’s most powerful and influential leaders. \nAttend in person in MLB 4314\, the RLL Commons.

SUMMARY:Black-on-Black Solidarity: Falasteen between George Jackson and Kwame Ture (An Anti-Curator’s Talk)
DESCRIPTION:How do revolutionary movements of the past challenge today’s trending rhetorics of solidarity? Inspired by George Jackson in the Sun of Palestine (2015\, West Bank) and Sur les Traces du Black Panther: Kwame Ture/Stokely Carmichael (2018\, Guinea)\, this presentation examines the contrast between revolutionary solidarity grounded in praxis and the contemporary commodification of solidarity as mere rhetoric. \nRevisiting the revolutionary theories of George Jackson and Kwame Ture\, it reframes Black internationalism and Black-Palestinian solidarity while addressing the erasure of Black Palestinians. By moving beyond liberal and neoliberal co-optations\, the discussion highlights how historical commitments to solidarity can inform and inspire resistance today. Correspondence between Jackson and Fatma Bernawi further illuminates the revolutionary principles that continue to resonate. \nGreg Thomas\, a native of Southeast Washington\, D.C.\, teaches Black Studies and Literature at Tufts and Howard Universities. He is the author of The Sexual Demon of Colonial Power and Hip-Hop Revolution in the Flesh and co-editor of Word Hustle: Critical Essays on Donald Goines. \nAs founding editor of PROUD FLESH: An e-Journal for the Critical Study of Black Culture\, Thomas has published extensively and guest-edited for CR: The New Centennial Review and Black Camera. Currently\, he is completing a book on George Jackson and curating exhibitions like George Jackson in the Sun of Palestine\, which debuted in the West Bank\, and A Black Panther Reawakens\, exploring revolutionary thought and activism. \nRSVP here: https://myumi.ch/pk46A

SUMMARY:Problematic Allies and the Limits of Visibility
DESCRIPTION:In the shift from the “white moderate” of the 1963 Letter from Birmingham Jail to the “white liberal” of the 1967 Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? Dr. King signaled a critique of (purported) allyship. In the present\, political movements on the left are forced to contend with similar questions. Does a problematic ally count as an ally at all? With so much at stake in the present\, what\, if anything\, is worth sacrificing to solidarity? Cutting across decades of art history\, this talk examines a series of moments in which the question of problematic allyship has arisen for Black artists and image makers and for scholars who think and write about them (including myself). The particular tools of art history may come into play insofar as this problem intersects with issues of performance\, affect\, and visibility. But in an age of surveillance and repression\, should visibility have limits—and if so\, what might these questions teach us about how to do art history?

SUMMARY:RLL's 2025 MLK Jr. Lecture: Professor Uju Anya
DESCRIPTION:The invited speaker for RLL’s 2025 Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. lecture is Professor Uju Anya of Carnegie Mellon University. Professor Anya specializes in Black multilingualism and antiracist\, equity-minded approaches to language learning. Her primary fields of scholarship are applied linguistics\, sociolinguistics\, and critical discourse studies examining race\, gender\, sexual\, and social-class identities in the language learning of African American students. Her book\, Racialized identities in second language learning: Speaking blackness in Brazil\, won the 2019 American Association of Applied Linguistics First Book Award. Professor Anya’s lecture is entitled “Where are the Black students in Language Education? Critical Race Pedagogy for Social Justice in Language Education”. The lecture will take place on Monday\, February 3\, 2025\, from 4:00 – 5:30 pm\, in MLB 4314. \n\n\nTalk abstract: To address racial inequity and how the identities\, experiences\, and specific needs of Black students have been mostly ignored in language education\, we must reckon with social justice problems of racism and anti-Blackness in research\, school programs\, teacher training\, curriculum\, and instructional practices. This presentation explores how we can center Black students in language education and introduces a critical race pedagogy for language teaching to promote antiracism\, equity-mindedness\, and greater inclusivity and belonging for diverse types of marginalized populations.

SUMMARY:Physics Department Martin Luther King Colloquium | Justice in Science: Where We Stand at Times of Challenge and Controversy
DESCRIPTION:The title of my talk was inspired by Dr. King’s quote regarding “The ultimate measure of a man” [person]. It is not where one stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where one stands at times of challenge and controversy. \nI began college during the Civil Rights era\, at the height of Dr. King’s work to promote social justice. After a K-12 education in the segregated schools of Birmingham\, Alabama\, I chose to pursue a career in science. This choice was not only a personal decision or a patriotic act but\, in many ways\, an act of resistance. By following my interests\, I resisted the label that\, as a young Black woman\, I might be intellectually unfit to study science. \nEchoes of the past continue to swirl in today’s conversations about who can and cannot do science. This presentation will explore the meaning of “justice in science” and discuss positive changes that might open science to diversity and lived experiences that promote excellence. \nBackground: Shirley Malcom is Senior Advisor to the CEO and Director of the SEA Change initiative at American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS). She works to improve the quality and increase access to education and careers in STEM fields\, as well as to enhance public science literacy.

SUMMARY:2025 Marjorie Lee Browne Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Geometry\, Robots\, and Society\nAbstract: \nHow do we move a robot quickly from one position to another? To answer this question\, we need to understand its “space of possibilities”\, a “map” where we can find every possible position of the robot. Unfortunately\, these spaces are very large\, they live in very high-dimensions\, and they are very difficult to visualize. Fortunately\, mathematicians have encountered and studied these kinds of spaces before. Thanks to the tools they’ve developed\, we can build “remote controls” to navigate these complicated spaces; this allows us to move (some) robots optimally. \nAs the imaginary border between “pure” and “applied” mathematics disappears before our eyes\, we face an important ethical questions that we cannot ignore: What’s the role of mathematicians and scientists in building a more just and equitable society? \n  \nAbout the Marjorie Lee Browne Colloquium – MLK Day\nThe Marjorie Lee Browne Colloquium was established in 1999 in the Department of Mathematics in observance of Martin Luther King day. The colloquium brings a distinguished speaker to campus to present a talk that highlights their research but also addresses the issue of diversity in the sciences. It honors the first African American woman to receive a Ph.D. in Mathematics from UM.\nMarjorie Lee Browne received her B.S. in mathematics from Howard University (1935). She received her M.S. in mathematics from the University of Michigan in 1939\, making her one of the first few African American women with a graduate mathematics degree. Ms. Browne taught at Wiley College while continuing graduate work during the summers. She received a Ph.D. in mathematics from Michigan in 1950\, making her Michigan’s first known African American woman mathematics Ph.D. recipient. Her thesis\, “On the One Parameter Subgroups of Certain Topological and Matrix Groups”\, was directed by Professor G. Y. Rainich. \nDr. Browne taught at North Carolina Central University from 1949 until her death in 1979. She was the only faculty member with a Ph.D. for twenty five years\, and a strong leader. She chaired the department from 1951 until 1970\, supervised ten Masters theses\, and inspired a generation of talented students to continue in mathematics. Dr. Browne also had a deep interest in continuing education for secondary school teachers. Under her leadership\, the NSF funded a summer institute for secondary school teachers of mathematics for thirteen years\, for which Dr. Browne also authored four sets of lecture notes.
