SUMMARY:Exhibition:Prisons and Politics in America
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit examines the political reasons for why people are imprisoned: for speaking out\, for writing\, for violating repressive laws\, framed because of their color or politics\, for stealing from the rich\, for refusing the military draft\, for whistleblowing\, for attempting to overthrow the government\, for standing up for a belief\, or for walking over a forbidden line.\n\nThe items focus on maintaining one's humanity behind bars\, promoting political causes\, and offering solidarity in support of prisoners.\n\nThe groups and individuals whose stories are featured in the Labadie Collection share one thing in common: fighting to make a better world. In the process\, many of them have been arrested\, brutalized\, censored\, deported\, imprisoned\, or executed. Some were innocent victims of violent police or discriminatory policies.\n\nThe U-M Library’s Joseph A. Labadie Collection documents the history of social protest movements and marginalized political communities from the nineteenth century to the present. Established in 1911\, it is the oldest and largest public archive of its kind in the world.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:“The Ground Breaking: An American City and Its Search for Justice” by Dr. Scott Ellsworth
DESCRIPTION:The story of the Tulsa Massacre (1821) has become a symbol of what has been erased in the telling of American history. Scott Ellsworth\, a native of Tulsa\, stumbled upon an article about the “race riot” as a 12-year old when a librarian was demonstrating a new technology—microfilm. He turned to that subject for his undergraduate history thesis at Reed College in Oregon and then the book “Death in a Promised Land” (1992). His book was considered the first-ever comprehensive history of the horrific 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. \n\nWith “The Ground Breaking: An American City and Its Search for Justice”\, Professor Ellsworth returns to the subject of Tulsa. Described as “riveting and essential\,” The Ground Breaking not only recounts the long-suppressed story of the notorious Tulsa race massacre\, it also unearths the lost history of how the massacre was covered up and the courageous individuals who fought to keep the story alive. Most importantly\, it recounts the ongoing archaeological search for the unmarked graves of the victims of the massacre and of the fight to win restitution for the survivors and their families. \n\nBoth a forgotten chronicle from the nation’s past and a story ripped from today’s headlines\, The Ground Breaking is a page-turning reflection on how we\, as Americans\, must wrestle with the parts of our history that have been buried for far too long. The New York Times described The Ground Breaking as “A skillful narrative of excavating the truth about the Tulsa race massacre. . .Candid and self-aware. . . Part of what makes this book so riveting is Ellsworth’s skillful narration\, his impeccable sense for when to reveal a piece of information and when to hold something back.”  The book was long-listed for the National Book Award\, the Carnegie Medal from the American Library Association and recently was named as one of the Best Books of 2021 by Publishers Weekly.  \n\nDr. Scott Ellsworth is a faculty member in the University of Michigan’s Department of Afro-American and African Studies. He teaches courses on African American history\, Southern literature\, race and sports\, and crime and justice in contemporary U.S. society. Trained as a historian\, he received his BA from Reed College and his MA and PhD from Duke University. \n\nFormerly a historian with the Smithsonian Institution\, he has written about American history for the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, and the Los Angeles Times\, and has appeared on National Public Radio\, the TODAY Show\, PBS’s The American Experience\, the History Channel\, the BBC\, and in both film and broadcast documentaries. His book\, “The Secret Game”\, won a 2016 PEN Book Award\, and was named by the Chicago Tribune as one of the Top Ten Books of the Year.\n\nPre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone.  A link to access the presentation will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Zijun Gao\, PhD Candidate\, Department of Statistics\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \"Heterogeneous treatment effect models allow us to compare treatments at subgroup and individual levels\, and are of increasing popularity in applications like personalized medicine\, advertising\, and education. In this talk\, we first survey different causal estimands used in practice\, which focus on estimating the difference in conditional means. We then propose DINA — the difference in natural parameters — to quantify heterogeneous treatment effect in exponential families and the Cox model. For binary outcomes and survival times\, DINA is both convenient and more practical for modeling the influence of covariates on the treatment effect. Second\, we introduce a meta-algorithm for DINA\, which allows practitioners to use powerful off-the-shelf machine learning tools for the estimation of nuisance functions\, and which is also statistically robust to errors in inaccurate nuisance function estimation. We demonstrate the efficacy of our method combined with various machine learning base-learners on simulated and real datasets.\" \n\nhttps://zijungao.github.io/

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CCPS Lecture. Cuts: An Oral History of Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Authors Aleksandra Leyk and Joanna Wawrzyniak will discuss their award-winning book *Cuts: An Oral History of Transformation [Cięcia. Mówiona historia transformacji]*\, which addresses how Poland’s rapid socio-economic transformation in the 1990s is remembered by those who lived it. Drawing on over 130 biographical interviews with chief executives\, managers\, trade union representatives\, administrative staff\, and shop floor workers of socialist enterprises privatized and sold to multinationals\, *Cuts* shows the complexity\, ambivalence\, and tensions inherent to the experience and memory of socio-economic change. While the book highlights local reactions to the neo-liberal turn taking place globally\, its lessons reach far beyond Poland.\n\nAleksandra Leyk is a researcher and public policy expert on adult education at The Educational Research Institute (IBE) in Warsaw. In the academic field\, she specializes on the social consequences of capitalist transformations of work and the labor market.\n\nJoanna Wawrzyniak is associate professor of sociology and director of the Center for Research on Social Memory at the University of Warsaw. Specializing on East-Central European memory processes\, her current projects include memories of socialism\, the neoliberal transformation\, and deindustrialization processes in Poland. She also conducts collaborative research on cultural heritage and memory processes in Western Europe and East and South Asia. She is the co-author of *The Enemy on Display* (2015)\, the author of *Veterans\, Victims and Memory* (2015) and has co-edited special issues for *Contemporary European History*\; *East European Politics and Societies*\; *Polish Sociological Review*\; and volumes *Memory and Change in Europe* (2016) and *Regions of Memory: Transnational Formations* (forthcoming).\n\nRegistration for this webinar is required at https://myumi.ch/Nm1mp\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Digitizing non-digital data: time\, issues\, and monotony in the process of digitizing PhD data
DESCRIPTION:Integrating datasets and incorporating legacy data is part of the process when working with archaeological materials. The domestic area of the site of Tell es-Safi/Gath\, as the subject of my Ph.D.\, has provided ample opportunities for both the digitization of legacy data and the integration of multiple datasets. I will begin with the history of the site and excavations but will focus primarily on the process of data digitization and the bumps along the way. The digitization of spatial data from past excavation reports and field journals is often a tedious process and we will explore some of the reasons that is the case. I will finish with the reasons that we as archaeologists go through the tedious processes and face the issues that pop up when digitizing and publishing older data\, the work that we have been able to do\, things that the team has been able to uncover and the possibilities for future research that these endeavors provide.
