Exhibition:Buying Home, Selling America: the House Catalog, 1906-1966
2021-11-15 09:00 - 17:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, 2nd Floor
Buying Home, Selling America: the House Catalog, 1906-1966 brings to light the collection of house catalogs in the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library’s Special Collections. Focusing primarily on the kit house industry of Michigan and the Midwest, the catalogs provide a portal to explore multiple themes, such as, the Michigan house catalog industry, changing architectural styles, the business of selling homes, societal and cultural implications, and domestic technologies. We hope the exhibit is not simply a nostalgic view back, but raises awareness of our domestic surroundings today and compels us to ask questions as we look to the future.

The exhibit is available in the Clark Library (second floor Hatcher) during Hatcher Library hours.

Presentation:Clinical Brown Bag: Benefits of and Barriers to Prosociality in Romantic Relationships
2021-11-15 09:00 - 09:50 | Off Campus Location
Abstract:
High-quality close relationships are one of the strongest predictors of health and well-being, yet much is still unknown about how we create and maintain them. In an effort to understand how we can have relationships that do not just survive, but thrive, I will present some of my research that (1) considers the role of prosocial processes, such as gratitude and responsiveness, in helping us to maintain high quality relationships and (2) identifies barriers to this prosociality. In particular, I focus on contextual barriers that are external the relationship, namely, poor sleep and stress.

Exhibition:When This is All Over / Cuando Esto Termine
2021-11-15 09:00 - 17:00 | 202 S. Thayer - Institute for the Humanities Gallery
Los Angeles-based artist Shizu Saldamando was born in 1978 to parents of Mexican-American and Japanese-American descent and raised in San Francisco’s Mission District. Saldamando merges painting and collage, often using origami paper, glitter, or gold leaf in her compositions, many of which are painted on wood or found surfaces. Her modern portraits and innovative methods challenge social constructs pertaining to individual and collective identity within the broader context of the “American Portrait.” Saldamando’s visual biographies, which use her friends, family, and fellow members of the Chicanx creative community in Los Angeles, create new ways of seeing and being seen.

On November 2, 6:30-8pm, Shizu Saldamando talks to curator Amanda Krugliak about Shizu's artistic practice and her exhibition *When This is All Over / Cuando Esto Termine*.

About the artist: Shizu Saldamando is an LA based mixed media artist with an emphasis on portraiture. She received her B.A. from UCLA’s School of Arts and Architecture and her M.F.A. from California Institute of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited both locally and internationally and experiments with a broad range of surfaces and materials. Saldamando’s practice employs tattooing, video, painting and drawing on canvas, wood, paper, and cloth. The work functions as homage, as well as documentation, of friends and peers within artistic and musical subcultures around the Los Angeles metropolitan area. She is currently represented by Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles.

Shizu Saldamando is the 2021 Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities.

Workshop / Seminar:Social, Behavioral and Experimental Economics (SBEE) Seminar: Earnings, Fertility and Gender Differences in Choice of Field: Evidence from a Large-Scale Survey and National Administrative Data
2021-11-15 11:30 - 12:45 | Off Campus Location
Abstract:
A large literature documents a gender gap in earnings. One area of this literature examines the role of gender differences in choice of field. More recent work argues that a large share of the earnings gap is due to women’s reduced earnings after they have a child. We bring these strands of the literature together by linking gender differences in choice of educational field to differences by field in both expected and realized earnings and fertility. We conduct a large-scale survey experiment among a national sample of college applicants in Denmark. In Denmark, college applicants submit their rank ordered choices of college degree programs to a national clearinghouse that matches students to programs using a strategy proof mechanism based on high school GPA. We survey students about their top-ranked choices after they have submitted their applications but before they learn the results. We elicit beliefs about their experience while studying as well as their labor market and family outcomes ten years after graduation. We then incorporate national administrative data on labor market and family outcomes by degree program from prior cohorts. We use the combined experimental and administrative data to address the following questions: (1) To what extent is there an earnings-fertility tradeoff in more heavily female fields (i.e., lower earnings and higher fertility)? (2) How much of the gender earnings gap is explained by gender differences in choice of degree; and how much by gender differences in the child penalty? And, (3) To what extent do applicants' expectations align with the realized outcomes of prior cohorts?

Presentation:Developmental Brown Bag: Developmental Science with a Social Justice Lens
2021-11-15 12:00 - 13:00 | Off Campus Location
In my research, I approach developmental science with an explicit social justice lens. My empirical research and translational writing has three overarching goals: to reduce bias among children, to protect children from others’ biases, and to reduce structural biases in children’s lives. In this talk, I will provide examples of how each of those goals are tackled within my work. I will also discuss the benefits (and challenges) of taking a broad, multidimensional, intersectional look at discrimination and bias.

Lecture / Discussion:From Conflict to Dialogue: The Shifting Relationship between the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Iran
2021-11-15 16:00 - 17:30 | Weill Hall (Ford School) - Annenberg Auditorium
Dr. Dania Thafer, (Executive Director, Gulf International Forum), Ambassador John Limbert, Dr. Hesham Alghannam(Senior Advisor and Program Director of the International Studies Program, Gulf Research Centre Cambridge), Ms. Negar Mortazavi (Iranian American Journalist and Political Analyst), and Professor David Des Roches (Near East South Asia Center for Security Studies).
The Gulf region, Saudi-Iranian relations, and Iranian American talks are in transition. 2021 has witnessed de-escalation between the Gulf States and a clear intent to commit to dialogue rather than threats. The Saudis and Iranians are in direct talks in Baghdad. Reports about the resumption of diplomatic relations between the Gulf’s pillars engender cautious optimism that we will see an end to five years of escalating tensions that brought the Gulf to the brink of war several times.

However, the Biden Administration and Iran’s new conservative president are still struggling to resume the nuclear deal talks. The U.S. is trying to leverage the Trump-imposed sanctions on Iran to expand the scope of the JCPOA while Iran seeks leverage by increasing uranium enrichment to unprecedented levels. Meanwhile, Israeli politicians keep talking about a “Plan B” implying a vague use of force to stop Iran’s nuclear program. Furthermore, Riyadh, Washington, and Tehran (or their proxies) continue to clash in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon.

These events continue to play out against a backdrop of an apparent U.S. intent to “recalibrate,” i.e., reduce, its presence in the Middle East. Some argue that Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan “at all costs,” coupled with the withdrawal of air defense systems from Saudi Arabia indicate that Washington has a decreased interest in its commitment to its GCC partners’ security. Others argue that despite the Biden foreign policy repositioning of military forces to confront China in the Indo-Pacific region, Washington still regards the Middle East as a key battleground in its hegemonic competition with Beijing.

Will the U.S. and Iran find common ground on the JCPOA, and if so, how? What can we expect of the Saudi-Iranian de-escalation efforts? How do domestic politics in Saudi Arabia, the U.S. and Iran play a role in making (or not making) a deal? How does the apparent American reduction of force in the Gulf play into regional states’ calculations?

Lecture / Discussion:Trauma-informed policing: Improving mental health and public safety
2021-11-15 16:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location
Police deal with trauma on a daily basis, which is not systematically addressed. In the larger discussions about police reform, attention to the well-being of the officers is not mentioned. This neglect can lead to police officers being stressed and disillusioned, which affects their decision-making and mental health in a vicious cycle. Changing policy to help police departments deal with routine trauma can improve the conditions for the police and for policing in general. This discussion will look at the current state of affairs and possible solutions.

Panelists:
Jeff Carek, retired deputy sheriff, founder of "I Got Your 6 Tour"
Alyshia Dyer, Ford School MPP student, former sheriff's deputy
Leah Mills LMSW, CEO of Ntervene
Daicia Price, clinical assistant professor of social work (moderator)

Lecture / Discussion:Disabusing Disability™: Demonstrating That DISability Doesn’t Mean INability
2021-11-15 16:30 - 17:30 | Industrial and Operations Engineering Building - 1680
Disability is regularly neglected in conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion, yet it is the one demographic that we may all identify with one day. Therefore, disability should serve as a means of demonstrating that we are all much more similar than we are different. As a disabled, black, Nigerian, immigrant, cis-gender heterosexual, male, physician, athlete this presentation will talk about the intersectionality between all of those identities, striving to demonstrate that disability is not inability, and encouraging us to allow people to demonstrate what they can do, rather than attempting to limit them based on what they cant. It will also hope to engage you all in conversation about what each of us can do, within our own spheres of influence to make sure we are not perpetuating ableism in our personal, academic, and professional lives.

Dr. Oluwaferanmi Okanlami is an Assistant Professor of Family Medicine, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and Urology at Michigan Medicine, an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and the Director of Student Accessibility and Accommodation Services at the University of Michigan, where he oversees the office of Services for Students with Disabilities, two Testing Accommodation Centers, and the Adaptive Sports & Fitness Program. He also serves as the Spokesperson for Guardian Life in their Equal & Able Partnership.

“Dr. O” was born in Nigeria before immigrating to the US at a young age. He attended High School at Deerfield Academy and college at Stanford University where he also ran Track & Field, serving as captain his last two seasons and achieving Academic All American recognition.

He then earned his MD from the University of Michigan before matching into Orthopedic Surgery at Yale. At the beginning of his 3rd year, he experienced a spinal cord injury, paralyzing him from the chest down. After two surgeries and intense rehabilitation, he was blessed with some return of motor function, and navigates the world as a proud wheelchair user, managing the other long-term sequelae of an incomplete cervical spinal cord injury.

He went on to earn a Master’s in Engineering, Science, and Technology Entrepreneurship from The University of Notre Dame, and completed his Family Medicine Residency at Memorial Hospital in South Bend, Indiana. He served on the St. Joseph County Board of Health, appointed by (former South Bend Mayor, and current Secretary of the Department of Transportation) Pete Buttigieg; and is on the board of the River City Challenged Athletes, a non-profit supporting the area adaptive sports teams. He was featured on Robin Robert’s Good Morning America Series “Thriver Thursday,” and has a catchphrase, “Disabusing Disability®,” hoping to demonstrate that DISability doesn’t mean INability. He is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honors Society, received Michigan Medicine’s Distinguished Early Career Alumni Award in 2020, and was given the “A Teacher’s Teacher Award’’ by the Academy of Medical Educators.

Nationally, he serves as the Disability Issues representative on the Steering Committee for the Group on Diversity and Inclusion at the AAMC, and sits on the National Medical Association’s Council on Medical Legislation. He speaks around the country on topics related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, including, but not limited to creating a health system that is accessible to and inclusive of both patients and providers with disabilities, and providing reasonable and appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities in higher education. He has been featured on CBS News, PBS News Hour, and MSNBC’s Morning Joe, and is passionate about adaptive sports and fitness, striving to provide access to physical fitness and inclusive recreational and competitive sports for all.
