SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Applied Methods for Studying Structural Racism\, Sexism\, and Other Systems of Oppression: Data\, Measurement\, and Modeling
DESCRIPTION:This workshop provides practical\, theory-driven guidance on methods for studying structural oppression\, with a focus on structural racism\, structural sexism\, and intersecting systems of inequality. Despite growing interest in this research\, substantial challenges remain\, including fragmented data ecosystems and limited adoption of theoretically grounded\, empirically rigorous methodologies.\n\nWorkshop instructors will offer conceptual and analytical clarity\, showcasing diverse data sources on structural oppression\, with guidance on accessing\, linking\, and analyzing these data. The workshop will also highlight best practices for the scientific study of structural oppression by operationalizing structural oppression in ways that reflect its multifaceted\, multilevel\, and systemic nature\, alongside its other core dimensions\, including relational power dynamics\, institutionalized structures\, sociohistorical contexts\, oppressive schemas and logics\, the roles of specific actors\, the inactions and omissions that sustain these systems\, and intersections among forms of oppression.\n\nWorkshop Format:\n\nMorning Sessions: Interactive lectures on cutting-edge methodological approaches\, with real-world examples.\n\nAfternoon Sessions: Hands-on exercises and individualized consultations to support participants' research interests. These sessions will feature practical examples and applications\, primarily using STATA and R\, to demonstrate key methodological techniques and best practices in data analysis\, measurement\, and modeling of structural oppression.\n\nPrerequisites: This workshop is particularly suited for early-career scholars\, though all researchers are welcome. Participants should bring their own laptops.\n\nApplication: Enrollment is limited to 25 participants. To apply for this workshop\, select the \"Registration\" link on this event page\, fill out the Summer Program registration form\, select this workshop\, and then upload the following application materials:\n\n- Current curriculum vitae\n- Cover letter summarizing research interest in this course and related research experiences\n\nApplication Deadline: May 26\, 2025\n\nRegistration Fee: There is no registration fee for accepted participants.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Summer Institute Course - Intermediate Questionnaire Design
DESCRIPTION:Intermediate Questionnaire Design\nJuly 21-24\, 2025\n12:00pm-4:00pm EDT\nLive Online via Zoom\n\nParticipants should have prior knowledge of questionnaire design before attending.\n\nThis course is designed to follow on from Introduction to Questionnaire Design or Designing and Writing Questions for Surveys: Guidelines and Recommendations. Now instead of looking at question comprehension from a cognitive side\, the linguistic side will be explored including online tools. Factual questions will be revisited but with the goal of exploring different types of respondent memory problems. Solutions include basic aids to improve memory and alternative methods: decomposition\, calendars\, event history calendars\, internet enabled devices\, wearables\, apps and sensors\, and additional tasks on mobile phones. Also covered are the effects of telescoping and quasi-facts. Subjective questions will be revisited to understand attitude consistency and inconsistency and to cover the popular topic of satisfaction and other customer experience metrics. Alternatives methods to attitude measurement will also be covered: factorial surveys and multi-item scales. The course concludes with multi-cultural issues raised by Rincón and a mini appendix on ways to translate survey questions and evaluate the translation. The course will be interactive with the goal of making it as close to in-person training as possible. There also will be workshops throughout. Pamela is happy to chat with participants about their own questionnaires.\n\nPamela Campanelli is a survey methods specialist\, chartered statistician\, fellow of the academy of social sciences and an international trainer\, researcher and consultant who runs her own business (http://www.thesurveycoach.com/). Her background is in social statistics\, survey methodology\, and psychology with a special interest in the study of survey error and data quality focusing on questionnaire design\, question testing strategies\, interviewing techniques\, sampling and weighting\, survey analysis\, and mixed-mode designs. In addition to providing consultancy\, conducting research\, writing papers\, reviewing for journals\, advising committees\, Dr. Campanelli’s focuses on providing training courses. She is committed to high quality learning. She believes in delivering courses that are lively and engaging\, foster an informal and interactive atmosphere\, communicate concepts in a straightforward and accessible way\, illustrate the material through the use of ‘real life’ examples\, and provide workshops to put theory into practice.\n\nThe Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques provides rigorous and high quality graduate level training in all phases of survey research. The noncredit courses are open to all. The courses are live online via Zoom. Registration and payment are required. Course fees are based on the total number of hours assigned to each course\, the hours are listed on the course description. The 2025 schedule lists additional courses. If you have any questions regarding the application process\, please use the online contact form or email the Summer Institute at isr-summer@umich.edu .\n\nThe program teaches state-of-the-art practice and theory in the design\, implementation\, and analysis of surveys.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Webinar: Partnering Science and Practice: Using Genomics to Guide Resilient Eelgrass Restoration
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, rising summer temperatures have caused large-scale diebacks of eelgrass (Zostera marina) meadows in parts of the lower Chesapeake Bay\, shifting these once-stable habitats toward lower-density\, ephemeral states. These losses threaten the vital ecosystem services that eelgrass provides\, from supporting fisheries to stabilizing shorelines. With climate change accelerating\, coastal managers and restoration practitioners increasingly recognize that long-term eelgrass restoration success must account for the species’ resilience to thermal stress. However\, critical knowledge gaps remain about which eelgrass populations may be best suited for future restoration under warming conditions.\n\nTo help fill these gaps\, this project compared eelgrass populations in Virginia and North Carolina to identify traits and genetic markers associated with thermal resilience. The team conducted genomic analyses and reciprocal transplant experiments to evaluate how different populations respond to heat stress and to test which seed sources might perform better under future climate scenarios. In this webinar\, project collaborators will share key findings from this work and introduce several practical products developed through the project\, including an eelgrass restoration decision-making framework\, a standard operating procedure (SOP) for seed-based restoration\, and guidance for integrating genomic data into management decisions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cascades in Corn Cover Crops and Milkweeds that Make Migrating Monarchs: Chemical Ecology at the Intersection of Pest Management and Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Agricultural and natural landscapes are shaped by plant-insect interactions\, with cascading effects on ecosystem function.\n\nAs part of the 2025 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS)\, Dr. Jared Ali will give a free\, public talk exploring how cover cropping influences multitrophic interactions\, soil traits\, and pest suppression through plant chemical signaling. At the same time\, we investigate how different milkweed species impact monarch butterfly flight\, shedding light on the chemical cues that shape migration. By integrating chemical ecology across these systems\, we bridge applied pest management strategies with conservation efforts\, uncovering novel ways to support both agricultural sustainability and insect biodiversity.\n \nAli is the director of the Center for Chemical Ecology\, acting director of Penn State’s Ecology Research Institute and associate chair of the Ecology Graduate Program at Penn State. His research explores plant-insect-microbe interactions\, plant defense chemistry\, and the ecological factors driving insect behavior. With a strong interdisciplinary focus\, his work connects fundamental chemical ecology to real-world applications in pest management and conservation.\n\nThe U-M Biological Station — the largest of U-M's campuses at more than 10\,000 forested acres surrounded by lakes — is one of the nation's largest and longest continuously operating field research stations.\n\nFounded in 1909\, the Biological Station supports long-term research and education. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.\n\nThe Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS\, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so our community can learn about our natural world.\n\nThe free\, public talks are on Wednesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates Lecture Hall at the University of Michigan Biological Station\, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston\, Michigan — about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge.
