SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:An Exploration of Neurodiversity and Neurodivergent Identities
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is aimed at validating and supporting students who make up roughly 20 percent of the population\, but often fly under the radar or are left out of diversity conversations: students with disabilities.\nThrough an overview of the highlights of neurodiversity\, students will gain an appreciation of brain differences\, as well as of the benefits of those who identify as neurodivergent and/or as a person with a disability. This will be balanced with the concept of each of us appreciating our own “fingerprint of the brain.” Content will cover a combination of theory and real-world connection\, followed by a guided activity that benefits and supports all people in their professional and personal lives—and that can be practiced long after the workshop ends.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/EP17e.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event\, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements. Please let us know as soon as possible in order to have adequate time\, preferably one week\, to arrange for your requested accommodations or an effective alternative.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nHow can we build successfully diverse universities in which people feel they can contribute from the standpoint of their backgrounds and identities\, and yet not be discriminated against based on those backgrounds and identities?\n\nClaude M. Steele\, professor of psychology at Stanford University\, shares early insights from his forthcoming book in a talk he calls “Churn: Life in the Increasingly Diverse World of Higher Education and How to Make It Work.” The author of Whistling Vivaldi: How Stereotypes Affect Us and What We Can Do\, Dr. Steele is renowned for his research on stereotype threat and its application to the academic performance of underrepresented students.\n\nDr. Steele will discuss his concept: when two people\, or groups of people\, each with their contingencies of identity\, are attempting to communicate across differences\, there is a lot going on cognitively\, affectively\, and emotionally in these situations. \n\nChurn is the worry about how one’s identity\, in light of all of this context\, plays out in the subjective experience of a diverse situation. To Steele\, this “identity churn” is a “huge part” of the challenge of diversity\, and trust is the critical issue in the functioning of our institutions. This session will be co-hosted by BME and the Psychology Department.\nBio:\nClaude M. Steele is an American social psychologist and a Professor of Psychology at Stanford University. He is best known for his work on stereotype threat and its application to minority student academic performance. His earlier work dealt with research on the self (e.g.\, self-image\, self-affirmation) as well as the role of self-regulation in addictive behaviors. In 2010\, he released his book\, Whistling Vivaldi and Other Clues to How Stereotypes Affect Us\, summarizing years of research on stereotype threat and the underperformance of minority students in higher education.\n\nHe holds a B.A. in Psychology from Hiram College\, an M.A. in Social Psychology from Ohio State University\, and a Ph.D. in Social Psychology and Statistical Psychology from Ohio State University. He is elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the National Academy of Sciences\, the National Science Board\, the National Academy of Education\, and the American Philosophical Society.\n\nHe currently serves on the board of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation\, the board of Scripps College\, and the SFJazz board. He is just retired by term limit from the Russell Sage Foundation Board of Directors\, after being Chair for ten years.\n\nProfessor Steele is a Fellow for both the American Institutes for Research and the American Academy of Political and Social Science\, and serves on the Advisory Council of the MIT Media Lab.\n\nHe has served in several major academic leadership positions as the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost at UC Berkeley\, the I. James Quillen Dean for the School of Education at Stanford University\, and as the 21st Provost of Columbia University. Past roles also include serving as the President of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology\, as the President of the Western Psychological\nAssociation\, and as a member of the Board of Directors of the American Psychological Society.\n\nProfessor Steele holds Honorary Doctorates from Yale University\, Northwestern University\, University of Chicago\, University of Michigan\, DePaul University and Claremont Graduate University. In 2020\, he received the Legacy Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP). The SPSP Legacy honors luminary figures whose seminal career contributions have shaped the field.\n\nZoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/94801149707
