SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on Culture and Health (Lindsay Kobayashi)
DESCRIPTION:RCGD Fall 2026 Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on Culture & Health\, meets Mondays 3:30 to 5 at ISR Thompson 6050.\n\nGlobal Perspectives on Culture and Health explores fundamental aspects of human life. Culture facilitates human interaction by providing meaning to lived experience. Accounting for culture in both theories and methods potentially advances the study of health by connecting the macro and micro levels of human experience. Yet\, culture should be understood as dynamic and complex. It fundamentally shapes individuals and simultaneously is shaped by individuals. The importance of systematically attending to culture includes topics of values\, language\, immigration\, and society.\n\nTheories and methods that incorporate culture hold great potential for advancing the understanding of health outcomes and health trajectories in various global contexts.\n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on various aspects of culture and diverse groups living in the U.S. and across the globe to address the ways in which attending to culture helps clarify and overcome challenges to good health.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.\n\nIn person: ISR Thompson 6050\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Kristine Ajrouch and Sela Panapasa\nEvents are not recorded

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SRC Seminar: Advancing Multilevel and Integrative Approaches to Address Intimate Partner Violence
DESCRIPTION:Join Zoom Meeting\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/99130067042?pwd=arc8yjlQ9fiN4ZeVrG4jgjbkkpQTSI.1&jst=2\n\nMeeting ID: 991 3006 7042\nPasscode: 332307\n\nAbstract:\nIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a major public health and human rights issue with significant physical\, psychological\, relational\, and embodied consequences. This presentation introduces two interconnected projects that examine IPV through interdisciplinary perspectives\, including criminology\, sociology\, social work\, gender studies\, psychology\, family studies\, public health\, trauma studies\, and neuroscience.\n\nThe first project focuses on theory development through a cross-national\, multilevel examination of IPV victimization among women and men. It explores how broader structural conditions intersect with individual experiences to shape IPV risk. By integrating macro- and micro-level perspectives\, this work aims to advance a more comprehensive understanding of IPV across diverse global contexts.\n\nThe second project focuses on intervention development and survivor healing. It examines an integrative\, culturally responsive\, trauma-informed\, and mindfulness-based intervention for individuals with histories of IPV. Using a mixed-methods randomized controlled trial design\, the project assesses preliminary indicators of holistic well-being\, empowerment\, and stress regulation through surveys\, interviews\, and biomarkers.\n\nTogether\, these projects reflect an interdisciplinary research agenda that moves from understanding the multilevel determinants of IPV to developing culturally grounded\, trauma-informed\, mindfulness-based\, and neuroscience-informed approaches to survivor recovery. The presentation will discuss implications for theory development\, policy\, practice\, clinical intervention\, and global efforts to prevent IPV.\n\nBiography:\nCarrie K. W.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MPSDS / JPSM Seminar: Adding Modes without Subtracting Quality: Survey Data Collection in Low and Middle-income Countries
DESCRIPTION:MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series\nMPSDS M3 Series: Mastery\, Methodology\, Meetups\n\nIn person\, room 1070\, Institute for Social Research and via Zoom. \n\nAdding Modes without Subtracting Quality: Survey Data Collection in Low and Middle-income Countries\n\nThe growth of mobile phones and internet connection in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) may mean that survey data collection in LMIC can advance from face-to-face surveys to additional modes such as web or cell phone surveys. During this seminar\, you will learn which modes are feasible in which contexts with a particular focus on mobile phone surveys.\n\nDr. Abigail (Abba) Greenleaf is a public health demographer whose research focuses on (1) women’s reproductive health across geographies and the lifespan and\; (2) intensive longitudinal data collection. By integrating these areas\, she is creating innovative findings for international sexual and reproductive health population sciences. She enjoys leveraging innovative data collection approaches to generate high-frequency\, cost- efficient population data for public health action.
