Media Studies Between Crisis and Critique DESCRIPTION:Media today are our situation\; they constitute the fabric of living. But a number of new crises–and subjects–have profoundly shaped the field of media studies\, including an environmental turn in media studies\, elemental media\, ubiquitous computing\, distributed sensing\, and pervasive algorithms and artificial intelligence. Accordingly\, this conference revists and updates Mark B.N. Hansen and WJT Mitchell’s landmark Critical Terms for Media Studies (2010) by accounting for how these new ways of thinking impact the subjective\, aesthetic\, political\, material and economic registers of life and living in the twenty-first century. \n\nIn particular\, the conference will explore the many disciplinary and post-disciplinary transformations in the study of media since its publication (including the moment of “post-critique”). To that end\, the conference will bring together an interdisciplinary set of emerging scholars external to the University of Michigan with UM graduate students and faculty to reconsider the project of media critique today.\n\nThe morning session (10:00 am-11:30 am\, Digital Studies Institute Lab Space) is reserved for a limited-capacity working session with the invited speakers for graduate students involved broadly in the critical study of media. RSVP here: https://myumi.ch/qZkRx\n\nThe afternoon (2:00 pm- 5:00 pm\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, Hatcher Gallery\, Room 100) will consist of four 45-minute “Keyword Panel” sessions\, with a talk by each guest speaker followed by a dialogue with U-M faculty. The panel discussion is open to graduate students\, the Digital Studies Institute\, University of Michigan faculty and students\, and the general public to reflect on post-disciplinary or trans-disciplinary turns within the study of media technology and culture as well as new limits and possibilities for media critique.

How will human work evolve as AI adoption progresses and what will that mean for how people earn a living? How will it reshape how people find meaning and purpose in life? Will the winner-take-most economy of the past several decades continue\, further increasing inequality\, or will AI be the great equalizer? While many things remain unknown\, economist Betsey Stevenson will take us through what we can learn from the past\, what we are already seeing today\, and what might be the best way forward for both income and human flourishing. \n\nBiography\nBetsey Stevenson is a professor of public policy and economics at the University of Michigan. She is also a faculty research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research\, a visiting associate professor of economics at the University of Sydney\, a research fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research\, a fellow of the Ifo Institute for Economic Research in Munich\, and serves on the executive committee of the American Economic Association.

Antonaras—a specialist in the history of glass\, jewelry\, and textiles and an archaeologist\, curator\, and director of communication and visitor reception at the Museum of Byzantine Culture\, Thessaloniki\, Greece.\n\nHow did glass move from being a rare luxury in pharaonic Egypt to an everyday material in the Roman and Byzantine world? The turning point was the invention of glassblowing on the Syro-Palestinian coast in the 1st century BC\, which made production faster\, cheaper\, and more versatile. Massive workshops in the eastern Mediterranean supplied raw glass across the empire\, where local artisans transformed it into drinking cups\, perfume flasks\, jewelry\, mosaics\, and window panes. In the Late Roman and Early Byzantine periods\, glass not only served daily needs but also acquired new roles in Christian life: churches gleamed with glittering mosaics\, windows filled sacred spaces with light\, and glass lamps illuminated worship. This talk follows glass on its journey—from the furnaces of the Levant to households\, churches\, and monumental architecture—showing how one innovation reshaped both everyday experience and spiritual expression.\n\nFAST (Field Archaeology Series on Thursday) Lectures are free and open to the public.

Documenting the site’s evolution through a system of “levels\,” the excavators left behind a dense archival record of photographs\, tables\, notes\, drawings\, plans\, artifact inventories\, and survey results. Housed at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, this documentation has been consulted for a century but never systematically analyzed or disseminated. The most authoritative source remains an unfinished manuscript by Enoch Peterson (a professor at Michigan from 1924 to 1962)\, never published or made publicly available.\n\nToday\, a revival of interest in Karanis has created a demand for better curation and accessibility of these records. In response\, researchers at the Kelsey Museum are leading a digital initiative with two objectives. First\, drawing upon legacy survey data and new radiocarbon results\, we are using the game engine Unity to reconstruct and reinterpret the site’s chronological evolution in three dimensions. Second\, we are transforming Peterson’s manuscript and related materials into an interactive\, open-access resource. These collaborative efforts between Kelsey researchers\, staff\, graduate\, and undergraduate students go beyond digitization\, requiring the restructuring and reassessment of excavation data within an updated framework. \n\nAs we integrate new insights and methodologies\, our work sometimes calls the Michigan excavators’ original interpretations into question. This raises the need to balance faithful preservation of archival materials with that of reassessing the excavation results through contemporary archaeological lenses. This lecture explores the challenges and possibilities of conducting “archive archaeology” at Karanis\, creating new tools for exploring\, cross-referencing\, and reinterpreting this essential legacy dataset.\n\nTyler Johnson is a postdoctoral fellow with the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. He completed his PhD at the University of Michigan in 2023\, focusing on the transformation of domestic buildings during Late Antiquity in the region around Rome. He has conducted fieldwork at Gabii\, Italy\, since 2013\, where he now serves as director of topography and digital data. Tyler has also participated in a range of excavations and digital humanities projects in Italy\, Albania\, and the United States. His specializations include 3D modeling\, database curation\, and the use of game engines and graphical interfaces in archaeological and cultural heritage research. At the Kelsey\, Tyler is a member of the AGROS project\, an international collaboration investigating ancient diet through the analysis of organic materials from Karanis\, Egypt\, where the University of Michigan carried out excavations in the 1920s and 1930s. His work focuses on the archaeological contextualization of organic samples selected for chemical analysis\, integrating the complex records of this legacy dataset with new methods in 3D modeling and data visualization.\n\nFAST (Field Archaeology Series on Thursday) Lectures are free and open to the public. This event will take place in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall. Light refreshments and food will be provided at 5:30 PM\, with the lecture starting at 6:00 PM.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167.

These conversations include policymakers\, educators\, researchers\, and parents\, but children themselves are rarely included. The purpose of this talk will therefore be to explore what we know about children’s own perspectives on their digital privacy\, particularly in the age of artificial intelligence. We’ll cover what they notice\, care about\, and understand as it relates to online privacy and data security\, and what researchers can explore next to continue child-centered conversations about how best to keep children safe online.\n\nDr. Lauren N. Girouard is a National Science Foundation postdoctoral research scholar at the University of Michigan and Harvard University\, where she works with Drs. Susan Gelman\, Ying Xu\, and Jenny Radesky on projects examining children’s beliefs about AI chatbots and how those beliefs translate into digital literacy in home and classroom environments. She graduated with her PhD in Experimental Psychology from the University of Louisville in May 2024. Her work broadly examines how 4- to 17-year-old children think about\, trust\, and learn from emerging technologies and AI. \n\nAdd this event to your Google calendar.\nhttps://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r/eventedit/copy/MnRpdnA0Z3JpYzRhMWM2Y241NXMwNmdzYzYgdW1pY2guZWR1X2ZkczI0Z2V2cGE0MnY5NTc2bG5wZTJjbWxrQGc UID:144046-21894585@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/144046 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:technology LOCATION:Michigan League - Michigan Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260126T104112 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260205T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260205T183000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:AI Hackathon Info Session (Central Campus) DESCRIPTION:Prove to future employers you know AI.\nWalk away with a portfolio-ready project that solves a real-world problem.\n\nTake on the role of the business lead or the engineering lead and build and pitch your agentic solution in the first 24 Hour AI Hackathon between the Ross School of Business and the College of Engineering! \n\nThis competition is open to:\nCollege of Engineering students\nComputer Science Majors\nU-M Entrepreneurship Minor students\nU-M Ross School of Business Minor students\nRoss School of Business students UID:144498-21895427@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/144498 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:technology LOCATION:Ross School of Business - B1580 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260204T120700 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260209T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260209T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Business & Technology Career Exploration Week DESCRIPTION:Are you an LSA student interested in a career in business or technology?

At the same time\, training and deploying large AI models requires vast computational resources and significant amounts of electricity\, raising concerns about carbon emissions and other air pollution\, water consumption\, and the long-term energy footprint of AI itself. How can we harness AI’s benefits while avoiding the escalating costs of running increasingly large systems? What role can smaller models\, hardware advances\, and new design practices play in making AI more sustainable? Join us for a conversation with experts in AI & systems and energy and environmental law as we explore how to balance innovation with environmental responsibility.
