UMIH Newsletter: June 1, 2020

Dear friends of the UMIH, In the past couple of weeks, we have become familiar with a long list of names: Ahmaud Arbery. Breonna Taylor. Christian Cooper. George Floyd. Regis Korchinski-Paquet. Tony McDade. Black Lives Matter continues with its mandate, because state-sanctioned, police violence against Black bodies (including using the threat of this violence to protect white fragility) is unending in both the US and Canada. Students and faculty affiliated with U of M's Faculty of Arts will know that there are very few BIPOC faculty in any of our departments outside of the star-studded Native Studies department, and even fewer Black faculty. The U of M is a historically white institution, and chooses to maintain itself as such. For those interested in knowing how they can help contribute to the project of racial justice right now, I pass on three pieces of advice I've learned from community organizers: One, reach out to your Black coworkers, students, and friends and check in with them. Offer support. Two, commit to hiring Black and Indigenous faculty, immediately. Three, follow and donate to one of these organizations committed to Black justice and liberation: --Justice 4 Black Lives Rally at the Manitoba Legislature on Friday:https://www.facebook.com/events/2522942161368878/ They are also taking donations so please feel free to donate as much as you can.

Our annual report will be available for all on our website very soon. Please watch out for updates on programming for Asian Canadian communities in Winnipeg and unpacking our complacency in antiblackness.

29 Apr '20

It's happening! QPOC and UMIH are excited to be launching our first round of ten (10) microgrants! The microgrants are worth $300 each to support creative projects on the topic of CARE during Covid-19. We seek project proposals from students and community members that will explore the multiple dimensions of care, caring, and being careful. This may include the (gendered and raced) labor of healthcare, the physical and/or emotional aspects of care, caring for or about a certain cause, or what it means to be careful in this moment of social distancing, for example. Projects that center queer and critical race approaches will be prioritized. CARE microgrants are aimed at providing swift support for small projects influenced by the humanities (literature, film, theatre, history, philosophy, fine arts, law, music, etc.). Possible creative projects include: --A poem (or a collection of poems) --An essay (or a collection of essays) --A song --A brief drag performance --A brief stand-up comedy set --A photograph (or a collection of photographs) --A personally meaningful recipe and accompanying tutorial video --A painting, drawing, or cartoon --A sculpture, collage, short film, or multimedia project --Other creative ideas welcome Projects must adhere to Manitoba social distancing guidelines. Open to University of Manitoba students and all residents of Manitoba (Indigenous peoples, settlers, and visitors). QTBIPOC applicants are especially welcome. Deadline for application: May 13th, 2020 Application form: https://docs.google.com/…/1FAIpQLSevs7YnY37lZMzXY…/viewform…<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevs7YnY37lZMzXYiQUsaIw6HXAMEh5yQK…><https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevs7YnY37lZMzXYiQUsaIw6HXAMEh5yQK…><https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevs7YnY37lZMzXYiQUsaIw6HXAMEh5yQK…> Announcement of recipients: May 20th, 2020 Deadline for projects (to be showcased online via QPOC and UMIH): June 20th, 2020 Queries: umih(a)umanitoba.ca This is phase one of two phases of CARE microgrants (pending budgetary approval).

It is our day of action for contract academics/C'est la journée de militantisme pour le personnel académique contractuel
by U Of M Institute For The Humanities 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

Dear Friends of the UMIH, February 12th is the national Day of Action for Contract Academics. According to CAUT, about 1 out of every 2 undergraduate students is taught by contract academics and, on average, contract academics are paid 1/3 less per course than regular professors. (https://www.caut.ca/bulletin/2017/10/numbers-contract-academic-staff-canada) The UMIH was incredibly lucky to host a visit by Dr. Sarika Bose, chair of CAUT's Contract Academic Staff Committee, earlier this term to share with us her insightful research and action plans. Please consider participating in this important day by sharing information with your students and colleagues, signing the petition and contacting your MP, and participating in the #makeitfair campaign on social media. Sincerely, Serenity Joo ________________________________ From: CAUT/ACPPU <comms(a)caut.ca> Sent: February 6, 2020 8:15 AM To: Bose, Sarika Subject: It is our day of action for contract academics/C'est la journée de militantisme pour le personnel académique contractuel February 2020 *Le français suit View this email in your browser<https://mailchi.mp/da3bb7fbc247/it-is-our-day-of-action-for-contract-academ…> [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/6f34f95050d01054def96de44/images/32e1084a-c8e…]<https://caut.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6f34f95050d01054def96de44&i…> Dear colleagues, The annual social media day of action for contract academic staff is on February 12th. Provincial governments across Canada have announced drastic cuts to education, which will further compromise the working conditions of all academic staff. It is time for the federal government to step up and reinvest in universities and colleges. We need a stronger federal partner to ensure a high-quality, affordable and accessible post-secondary education that does not rely on precarious contract jobs. Call on<https://caut.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6f34f95050d01054def96de44&i…> your Member of Parliament to take bold action to support our universities and colleges and commit to a renewed investment in the sector. Together, we can make it fair. Share our message on social media using the hashtags #MakeitFair and #Fairness4CF.

Les gouvernements provinciaux d’un bout à l’autre du pays ont annoncé d'importantes compressions en éducation qui dégraderont les conditions de travail déjà précaires de tout le personnel académique. Il est grand temps que le gouvernement fédéral agisse et réinvestisse dans les universités et collèges. Nous avons besoin d’un partenaire fédéral solide pour assurer une éducation postsecondaire de qualité, abordable et accessible qui ne repose pas sur des emplois contractuels précaires. Demandez<https://caut.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6f34f95050d01054def96de44&i…> à votre député de soutenir nos universités et collèges et s'engageant à réinvestir dans le secteur.
