SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Winter Seminar Series: Motivation and Emotion in Political Thought and Division
DESCRIPTION:David Dunning\, Psychology Department\; RCGD\; University of Michigan\n\nMotivation and Emotion in Political Thought and Division\nWhether people adopt conclusions and misinformation that support their political preferences is often thought to be a product of intellectual ability. However\, studies suggest that cognitive ability has little to do with whether people endorse politically-friendly falsehoods. I discuss research suggesting that emotional dynamics are very much relevant to false beliefs\, such as conspiracy theories\, that people adopt in favor of their political leanings. It also underlies motivated reasoning in support of those beliefs. \n\nDavid Dunning (BA\, Michigan State\; PhD\, Stanford) is a social psychologist focusing primarily on the psychology underlying human misbelief.  His most cited work shows that people hold flattering self-opinions that cannot be justified from objective evidence\, work supported by the National Institute of Mental Health\, the National Science Foundation\, and the Templeton Foundation. He has served as president of both the Society of Experimental Social Psychology and the Society for the Science of Motivation. \n\n\nThe U.S. is experiencing unprecedented levels of political polarization relative to the past few decades\, especially in terms of affective polarization\, or feelings of dislike and distrust towards members of the opposing political party. In this winter talk series\, we will hear from experts across disciplines (social psychology\, political science\, sociology\, communication) in order to better understand why political polarization is so high and what\, if anything\, can we do about it.\n\nRCGD Seminars will be held at ISR Thompson 1430. Events will be recorded. Graduate seminars precede the events from 2-3:30. To meet with external speakers or to find out more about these events\, contact Rachael Hamilton at rachaelr@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Armenia-Azerbaijan Relations and Implications for Peace and Security in the South Caucasus Region
DESCRIPTION:Updating wording as of 1/26\n\nThe disastrous war in Ukraine has focused the world’s attention on a horrendous conflict in eastern Europe that has pitted nuclear powers against one another. Like other conflicts in the region that once made up the Soviet Union\, the war in Ukraine can be understood as the ongoing unraveling of the USSR. The spotlight on Ukraine has obscured another war not far from the killing fields of Kherson\, Kharkiv\, and Donbas – the Armenian Azerbaijani conflict in the South Caucasus. For more than thirty years two small former Soviet republics\, Armenia and Azerbaijan\, have been sacrificing their soldiers and civilians to control the disputed territory of Mountainous Karabakh\, once an autonomous region in Soviet Azerbaijan. Karabakh was overwhelmingly Armenian in population\, roughly seventy-five percent\, but its territory was wholly inside Azerbaijan. After demonstrations and protests turned violent\, and Azerbaijanis carried out pogroms of Armenians in Sumgait and Baku in the late 1980s\, war between the republics raged until some 30\,000 people had been killed. Armenians won on the battlefield and effectively controlled Karabakh from 1994 to 2020.\n\nDespite the cease-fire of 1994 and skirmishes ever since\, Armenians built a little state\, which they call Artsakh\, tied ethnically and culturally to the Republic of Armenia. But Azerbaijan never gave up its claims to the region. For three decades diplomats and presidents of the two republics negotiated futilely to bring the conflict to an end. Ultimately\, neither side was willing to compromise.  In a dispute between national self-determination and territorial integrity\, the latter is taken more seriously by the international community than the former. International law therefore favored Azerbaijan’s right to rule the territory.\n\nWhen a coveted indivisible good like the homeland is at stake\, compromise becomes almost impossible. And when the nationalist rhetoric of each side depicts the other as demonic subhumans bent on your destruction\, even negotiation with one’s opponents can undermine the people in power. The radical simplifications that flow from nationalism shrink the possibilities to understand the other.\n\nSuddenly\, without warning\, on the morning of September 27\, 2020\, armed forces from Azerbaijan launched an offensive across the armistice line established in 1994. Backed by Turkey and deploying the lethal Bayraktar drones (the same ones that Turkey has sold to Ukraine) as well as Israeli weapons\, the Azerbaijanis battered the less well-armed Armenian fighters. As the fighting raged for forty-four days\, three attempts at ceasefires\, brokered by the United States\, France\, and Russia\, failed. Only after the Azerbaijanis captured the old capital of Karabakh\, Shushi (Shusha)\, were the Russians able to secure agreement from all sides and end the war. Several thousand Russian peacekeepers were deployed to patrol the front between the two armies. It is estimated officially that nearly four thousand Armenians along with just under three thousand Azerbaijanis were killed. The casualty figures were likely much higher.\n\nThe war was vicious. It is still going on\, as Azerbaijan violates the borders of Armenia.\n\nThis presentation will explain causes\, contours\, and possible outcomes of this largely unknown war.\n\nThis event is open to U-M students\, faculty and staff\, room capacity is 30. In the event of larger interest\, participants will be emailed a Zoom link to join the hybrid session. \n\nRonald Grigor Suny is the William H. Sewell Jr. Distinguished University Professor of History and Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan and Emeritus Professor of Political Science and History at the University of Chicago. He was the first holder of the Alex Manoogian Chair in Modern Armenian History at the University of Michigan\, where he founded and directed the Armenian Studies Program. Professor Suny’s intellectual interests have centered on the non-Russian nationalities of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union\, particularly those of the South Caucasus (Armenia\, Azerbaijan\, and Georgia).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Lecture. The Israeli Third Republic - Netanyahunism as a New Phase in Israeli Civil Rights and Politics
DESCRIPTION:Commentator: \nYali Hashash\nFrankel Institute Fellow\nJean and Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies\nUniversity of Michigan\n\nThis event is free and open to the public\, but registration is required if you intend to participate virtually. Once you’ve registered\, the joining information will be sent to your email.\n\nRegister at:  https://myumi.ch/n78p8\n   \n   The political situation in Israel during the years since 2009 (Netanyahu return to power)\, reflects a major transition\, actually generating a Third Republic in Israel\, as evident in the results of Israel’s seven last general elections (2009\, 2013\, 2015\, 2019a\, 2019b\, 2020\, 2021 and 2022)\, which revealed the deepening power of the Israeli right and its transformation into a dominant bloc in Israeli politics. This followed three decades that began in 1977 with the historical victory of the right-wing Likud party and Menachem Begin over the Mapai socialist party that had retained electoral success since the creation of the State of Israel\, a situation described by many as the Israel’s \"Second Republic\"\, in the eve of this ‘second republic’ Israel succeeded in keeping a balance between the occupation in one hand\, and the legislation of a set of basic laws that were considered by many to be a fundamental elements of the emerging constitution in Israel..\n   \n   The political situation in Israel over the past years\, 2009-2023\, can be best explained as a right wing 'dominant bloc system'. Although Israel has had no single dominant party\, the Likud has emerged as the clear center of a right-wing dominant bloc\, with various smaller parties orbiting around it. This situation both bolsters and reflects Likud’s success in changing the Israeli landscape – leaving their mark on a deep change\ deterioration on the status and situation of Human Rights in Israel proper and in all the territory that are controlled by Israel (The Land from the Sea to the Jordan Valley- This was reflected in a continuance efforts to change the status of the Israel Supreme Court as an independent branch of power\, right wing monitoring and supervision over academic institutions\, civil society organizations\, and a continence efforts for changing and re-conceptualizations of patriotism\, delegitimizing the left\, human rights movements\, and abolishing the prospects for a peaceful solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.\n   \n   Professor As’ad Ghanem (PhD)\, is a lecturer at the School of Political Science\, University of Haifa. Currently a visiting professor at the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at University of Michigan. His research agenda and work has explored the legal\, institutional and political conditions in ethnic states\, democratization in the Middle East\, fundamentalism\, Palestinian political orientations\, the political structure of the Palestinian National Movement\, and the future of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His recent books are: Palestinians in Israel: The Politics of Faith after Oslo w/ Mohanad Mustafa (2018\, Cambridge University Press)\, Israel in the Post Oslo Era – Prospects for Conflict and Reconciliation with the Palestinians w/Mohanad Mostafa & Salim Brake\, (2019\, Routledge)\; and The Palestinian Question after Oslo. (Beirut: The Arabic Institute for Research\, 2021).\n   \nThe following text will be included on all II events unless  you indicate otherwise:If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Combinatorics:The Picard Group of a Graph
DESCRIPTION:A divisor on a graph is an assignment of integer weights to each of the vertices. One assignment is considered linearly equivalent to another assignment if it can be transformed into it by a series of legal moves called chip-firing moves. The Picard group of a graph\, named based on its relationship to the Picard group of a scheme\, is defined as the free abelian group of divisors on the graph up to linear equivalence. This group will be the central focus of the talk\, and we'll compute Pic(G) for some classes of graphs G. We'll also define the rank of a divisor and a related graph invariant called gonality.
