Faculty Director Paula M. L. Moya Awarded RISE Grant
to Promote Better Health Among Indigenous Peoples
CCSRE Staff | January 13, 2022

Research for Indigenous Social Action and Equity Center (RISE) at the University of Michigan has awarded CCSRE Faculty Director Paula M. L. Moya's grant proposal entitled, “Using Story-Power to Promote Better Health Among Indigenous Peoples.”

The project is an outgrowth of the Perfecto Project, for which Moya is the principal humanities investigator. The Perfecto Project emerges from the WhoIsZuki? fitness app being developed by James Landay (Computer Science and HAI) and Elizabeth Murnane (Engineering at Dartmouth) that employs story-telling to encourage users to stay active over time. For the Perfecto Project, Moya has partnered with Landay and Murnane and with the HARTS Lab at Stanford Medicine to develop a smart-phone app targeted toward Latinx populations. Funded primarily by the Stanford Catalyst Motivating Mobility Project, both the Perfecto Project and this new narrative geared toward indigenous communities will employ groundbreaking cross-disciplinary collaborations between engineering, medicine, and the humanities.
 
"I am so excited to have received a stamp of approval for this effort from the RISE Center at the University of Michigan," said Moya. "I look forward to getting started on this new narrative!”

‘We are uniquely qualified to make change because of who we are’
Faculty Affiliate Elizabeth Reese on her path to Stanford
BY ANDREW BRODHEAD, KURT HICKMAN AND JULIA JAMES
Stanford Report | January 11, 2022

Elizabeth Anne Reese, Yunpoví, the first Native American faculty member at Stanford Law, is working to shatter invisibilities that she says have been “comfortably the status quo” for far too long.

Elizabeth Reese was 15 and a prospective freshman when she first set foot on the Stanford campus. She was 22 when she visited again, surveying JD programs. But it was years later, still, when she did what “felt like destiny” and finally accepted an offer on the Farm. Read the full story here.

SPEAKING OUT OF PLACE:
Reclaiming our Political Voices
Thursday, January 20, 2022 | 2:30-4PM PST
VIRTUAL EVENT

Join renowned scholars and activists David Palumbo-Liu and Robin D. G. Kelley as they discuss Palumbo-Liu's urgent new book Speaking Out of Place. Speaking Out of Place asks us to reconceptualize both what we think “politics” is, and our relationship to it. Especially at this historical moment, when it is all too possible we will move from Trump’s fascistic regime to Biden’s anti-progressive centrism. We need ways to build off the tremendous growth we have seen in democratic socialism, and to gather strength and courage for the challenges, and opportunities that lie ahead.
