SUMMARY:Other:Growing Hope Urban Farm Volunteering
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers will be helping out at Growing Hope Urban Farm. The farm is both an educational space and production farm\, and volunteers are needed to help support this space. Volunteers will be able to help more people gain access to and grow their own healthy food\, as many communities do not have access to healthy foods. You could make a difference in a family's life\, by simply using your hands to plant and grow the food that will enrich another's plate. Sign-Up Here

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Econometrics: Partial Identification of the Distribution of Treatment Effects with an Application to the Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nWe bound the distribution of treatment effects under plausible and testable assumptions on the joint distribution of potential outcomes\, namely that potential outcomes are stochastically increasing. We show how to test the empirical restrictions implied by those assumptions. The resulting bounds substantially sharpen the classical bounds based on Frechet-Hoeffding limits. We apply our method to identify bounds on the distribution of effects of attending a Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) charter school on student academic achievement\, and find that a substantial majority of students’ math achievement benefitted from attendance\, especially those who would have fared poorly in a traditional classroom.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Graduate Seminar Series - Metastructures for Vibration Suppression
DESCRIPTION:Daniel J. Inman\, Clarence \"Kelly\" Johnson Professor\nAerospace Engineering Professor and Department Chair\nUniversity of Michigan\n\nMetastructures\, as used here\, refers to a metamaterial inspired concept\, and are structures with distributed vibration absorbers arranged in a repeated lattice type arrangement.   In aerospace applications\, it is critical to have low levels of vibrations while also using lightweight materials and metastructure approach provides the potential for adding damping and absorption to structural systems without adding a lot of added mass.   Several issues will be discussed.  First is the issue of weight.  The second issue is the classic issue resolving the difference between damping and absorption.  This issue arises because many of the metastructures reported in the literature are 3D printed with polymers\, which of can be heavily damped.  Thus it is not clear in some reported results whether the energy is dissipating through damping or is the result of vibration absorption.   The last issue considered is one of adding feedback control to a metastructure design by using the piezoelectric effect.  Once control is added to the structure a totally temperature independent highly\, damped structure can be designed which is both lightweight and has excellent vibration suppression properties across a wide range of temperatures.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nDaniel J. Inman received his Ph.D. from Michigan State University in Mechanical Engineering in 1980 and is Chair of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan\, as well as the C. L. “Kelly” Johnson Collegiate Professor. Since 1980\, he has published eight books (on vibration\, energy harvesting\, control\, statics\, and dynamics)\, eight software manuals\, 20 book chapters\, over 350 journal papers and 600 proceedings papers\, given 62 keynote or plenary lectures\, graduated 62 Ph.D. students and supervised more than 75 MS degrees. He works in the area of applying smart structures to solve aerospace engineering problems including energy harvesting\, structural health monitoring\, vibration suppression and morphing aircraft. He is a Fellow of AIAA\, ASME\, IIAV\, SEM and AAM.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development Seminar: Growing Markets through Business Training for Female Entrepreneurs: A Market-Level Randomized Experiment in Kenya*
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nA common concern with efforts to directly help some small businesses to grow is that their growth comes at the expense of their unassisted competitors. We test this possibility using a two-stage randomized experiment in Kenya which randomizes business training at the market level\, and then within markets to selected businesses. Three years after training\, the treated businesses are selling more\, earn higher profits\, and their owners have higher well-being. There is no evidence of negative spillovers on the competing businesses\, and the markets as a whole have grown in terms of sales volume.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Writing a Transnational History of Race in a Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:In his forthcoming book\, Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof tells the stories of a group of working class\, Afro-descended\, exiles from Cuba and Puerto Rico. At the end of the nineteenth century\, they helped create a multi-racial movement to throw off Spanish colonialism in Cuba\, predicated on the promise that in a free Cuba there would be no blacks or whites\, only Cubans. Hoffnung Garskof traces the evolution of this political coalition and its promise of a nation \"for all\" from the perspective of the black and brown migrants who took part in it\, arguing that their experiences of mobility\, and especially their experiences as settlers in New York City\, were fundamental to the evolution of racial politics in Cuba and Puerto Rico. In this talk\, he will discuss the digital research methods he employed in the book\, taking one episode from Racial Migrations as a case study for thinking through the “entanglement” of the transnational turn and the digital turn in the contemporary practice of history.\n\nJesse Hoffnung-Garskof is associate professor of history\, American culture\, and Latina/o studies at the University of Michigan\, where he teaches courses on the history of Latinas/os in the United States\, Latin American popular music\, and immigration.  He is the author of A Tale of Two Cities: Santo Domingo and New York after 1950 (Princeton\, 2008) and Racial Migrations: New York City and the Revolutionary Politics of the Spanish Caribbean\, 1850-1910 (Under review\, Princeton University Press).\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
