SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GCC Italy: Modern Italy and Political Psychology Info Session
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Joshua Rabinowitz and CGIS Advisor\, Joy Richardson\, to learn more about the CGIS: Global Course Connections (GCC) in Rome\, Italy - Modern Italy and Political Psychology program. This GCC program offers the unique opportunity to pair your on-campus winter studies with an exciting hands-on 3-week global experience taught by Joshua Rabinowitz in the summer.Using Rome\, Italy\, as an experiential laboratory\, this course connection will tie the theories and findings of social and political psychology to the modern Italian context. You will see through museum visits\, architectural tours\, artistic and cultural experiences\, and class discussions how social identity\, collective action\, and political ideology (including fascism and contemporary populism) have resonated through the last 200 years of Italian history.\nYou can view the GCC Italy application here.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Understanding Development and Familial Transmission of Psychopathology: Insights From Genetically and Causally Informative Studies
DESCRIPTION:A complete understanding of how psychopathology develops over time\, is transmitted across generations\, and is influenced by familial and broader social contexts is necessary for developing comprehensive etiological models of psychopathology and related processes\, and identification of causal mechanisms is necessary for developing the most targeted and effective prevention and interventions. Yet\, many of our most fundamental questions about etiological contributors to the development of psychopathology and mechanisms of its familial transmission cannot be definitively answered using usual study designs. Drawing from a developmental psychopathology framework and using complementary\, longitudinal\, genetically informative\, and quasi-experimental study designs in multiple largescale cohorts\, my work aims to address this challenge. In this talk\, I will present a series of studies\, including identifying risk factors for and effects of depression\, differentiating pre-existing liability toward substance use from exposure-related effects on brain\, examining effects of prenatal substance exposure on infant and child development\, distinguishing genetic from environmental mechanisms of the familial transmission of psychopathology\, and considering whether and how cannabis legalization has a causal effect on children\, adolescents\, and families. This work also considers broader contextual factors that may influence exposure to risk and adversity\, as well as access to protective resources. Although no single study or approach is sufficient on its own\, leveraging these multiple genetically and causally informative study designs in a complementary fashion can help us begin to triangulate on etiology and causal mechanisms to better understand the development and familial transmission of psychopathology.\n\n*The talk will be followed by a reception with light refreshments.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Exploring the Mind | Pleasure\, Desire\, and Addiction in the Brain
DESCRIPTION:How is pleasure (‘liking’) different from desire (‘wanting’)\, and how are they generated by the brain? Answering those questions is crucial to understanding addiction\, compulsivity\, and many other aspects of human behavior. Our work at Michigan helped show that the brain’s mesolimbic dopamine system is not a pleasure ‘liking’ mechanism as was once thought\, but rather only a motivational ‘wanting’ mechanism. Separate brain opioid hedonic hotspots generate feelings of ‘liking’.\n\nIn addiction\, drug-induced sensitization of dopamine systems in vulnerable individuals can amplify ‘wanting’ to arguably compulsive levels\, even when what is desired does not provide pleasure once obtained. A recent animal laboratory demonstration is ‘wanting what hurts:’ desiring experiences that give no pleasure at all\, as a prototype of how addictive compulsion works. Incentive sensitization helps explain how addiction can create a vulnerability to relapse that persists despite sincere desire to quit\, even long after drugs are no longer taken.\n\nAbout the speaker: Kent Berridge is James Olds Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Michigan. Research in Berridge’s lab has aimed for better answers to questions such as: How is pleasure (‘liking’) generated by the brain? How is desire (‘wanting’) generated by the brain? How does wanting something differ from liking it? And how does addiction become compulsive?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cash Plus Psychosocial Interventions for Economic Mobility
DESCRIPTION:Catherine Thomas is an assistant professor of psychology and of organizational studies at the University of Michigan. She integrates the insights of social psychology\, lens of cultural psychology\, and tools of behavioral science to examine and intervene upon psychosocial drivers of poverty and inequality in the U.S. and around the globe. In particular\, her work interrogates relationships among agency\, dignity\, and economic mobility. In this work\, she conducts lab and field experiments across diverse low-income contexts\, including in the U.S.\, sub-Saharan Africa\, and South Asia\, and often through interdisciplinary collaborations and partnerships with nonprofits and governments. Her work has been published in journals including Nature and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and in media outlets including Time and Foreign Affairs.\n\nThe Real-World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions speaker series is free and open to the public as well as being a one-credit course for U-M students (SW503). In-person talks include coffee\, cookies\, and the chance to ask the speakers questions\, or you can watch the livestream on YouTube.
