SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Winter Seminar Series: American partisans misperceive the diversity\, not the extremity\, of other partisans' attitudes
DESCRIPTION:A popular explanation for rising partisan animosity and declining faith in democracy in the United States is that Republicans and Democrats misperceive each other to hold extreme policy attitudes. Yet\, perceptions of group attitudes vary along other dimensions\, and these perceptions are likely as important to democracy. In particular\, Americans may underestimate the diversity of Democrats' and Republicans' attitudes to harmful effect. This paper uses surveys and pre-registered experiments with representative and convenience samples (N = 6\,158) to assess the extent to which Americans misperceive that each party holds ``all the same'' attitudes and\, furthermore\, the consequences of these perceptions. Contrary to existing research\, we find that American partisans do not consistently overestimate how radical the ``average'' Republican or Democrat is. However\, Republicans and Democrats do vastly underestimate the diversity of each party's attitudes. Correcting these misperceptions of within-party attitude diversity reduces partisan animosity and the perceived threat posed by the opposing party.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Black Ownership Matters: Does Revealing Race Increase Demand For Minority-Owned Businesses?
DESCRIPTION:Is there consumer demand to support Black-owned businesses? To explore\, we investigate the impact of a new feature on a large online platform that made the race of a set of Black business owners salient to customers. We find that this feature substantially increased demand for Black-owned businesses - in the form of more calls to the restaurant\, more delivery orders\, and - using cell phone data from a different platform - more in person visits to the restaurant. New customers to Black-owned businesses were more likely to be White customers - suggesting demand among White restaurant goers for Black-owned businesses. The gains for Black-owned businesses vary across geographically fine-grained measures of racial prejudice: we observe larger gains in areas with less anti-Black bias\, as measured by implicit association tests. We also find suggestive evidence that the effects are stronger in predominately White\, Democratic-leaning areas.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:How Do We Think of Social Diversity: History and Politics in the Work of René Zavaleta Mercado
DESCRIPTION:Today’s call for diversity in the United States quite often reduces itself to body count. René Zavaleta Mercado (1937-1984)\, one of Latin America’s most imaginative social scientists\, confronted the question of respecting diversity in the analysis of social reality in the twentieth century. *Towards a History of the National Popular in Bolivia*\, now translated into English for the first time\, confronts this question not only in terms of mere inclusion but in terms of a “motley” social situation\, devising methodology to represent its demand.\n\nLuis Tapia\, our speaker\, another imaginative Bolivian thinker and activist\, is the leading expert on Zavaleta. In his own book\, *The Production of Local Knowledge: History and Politics in the Work of René Zavaleta Mercado*\, also translated into English for the first time\, he lays out an epistemological program to make Zavaleta’s injunction real. Tapia’s talk will evolve from a crucial question: ‘How do we have to change ourselves so that the idea of a “motley” society does not turn into voting blocs\, destroying democracy?\n\nApril 17th\, 2023 4:00pm - 5:30pm in the RLL Commons\nJoin us for free coffee & cookies\n\nDon't miss the book sale!\n- *The Production of Local Knowledge: History and Politics in the Work of René Zavaleta Mercado* by Luis Tapia\n- *Towards a History of the National Popular in Bolivia* by René Zavaleta Mercado

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISRMT Seminar - Reflectionless canonical systems: almost periodicity and character-automorphic Fourier transforms
DESCRIPTION:In the spectral theory of self-adjoint and unitary operators in one dimension (such as Schrodinger\, Dirac\, and Jacobi operators)\, a half-line operator is encoded by a Weyl function\; for whole-line operators\, the reflectionless property is a pseudocontinuation relation between the two half-line Weyl functions. We develop a comprehensive theory of reflectionless canonical systems with an arbitrary Dirichlet-regular Widom spectrum with the Direct Cauchy Theorem property. This generalizes\, to an infinite gap setting\, the constructions of finite gap quasiperiodic (algebro-geometric) solutions of stationary integrable hierarchies. Instead of theta functions on a compact Riemann surface\, the construction is based on reproducing kernels of character-automorphic Hardy spaces in Widom domains with respect to Martin measure. We also construct unitary character-automorphic Fourier transforms which generalize the Paley-Wiener theorem. Finally\, we find the correct notion of almost periodicity which holds in general for canonical system parameters in Arov gauge\, and we prove generically optimal results for almost periodicity for Potapov-de Branges gauge\, and Dirac operators. This is joint work with Roman Bessonov and Peter Yuditskii.\n\nA recording of the talk can be found at https://youtu.be/ZEcHCixsCbU

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Group\, Lie and Number Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Title: Twisted linear periods and a new relative trace formula\n\nAbstract: We study the linear periods on GL2n twisted by a character. When the character is trivial\, Guo and Jacquet proposed a relative trace formula approach in the mid 90s. This trace formula however cannot be extended to the case with a nontrivial character. We propose a new trace formula to attack this general case. This is joint work with Wei Zhang.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:An Ordinary Man: The Surprising Life and Historic Presidency of Gerald R. Ford
DESCRIPTION:Join the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation and the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library & Museum for an event at the Ford School hosted as part of the long-awaited book tour for Richard Norton Smith's An Ordinary Man. Richard Norton Smith will be joined in conversation with Hank Meijer to explore Richard’s new book An Ordinary Man: The Surprising Life and Historic Presidency of Gerald R. Ford.\n\nAbout the book\nFrom the preeminent presidential scholar and acclaimed biographer of historical figures including George Washington\, Herbert Hoover\, and Nelson Rockefeller comes this eye-opening life of Gerald R. Ford\, whose presidency arguably set the course for post-liberal America and a post-Cold War world.\n\nFor many Americans\, President Gerald Ford was the genial accident of history who controversially pardoned his Watergate-tarnished predecessor\, presided over the fall of Saigon\, and became a punching bag on Saturday Night Live. Yet as Richard Norton Smith reveals in a book full of surprises\, Ford was an underrated leader whose tough decisions and personal decency look better with the passage of time.\n\nDrawing on hundreds of interviews and thousands of documents\, Smith recreates Ford’s hardscrabble childhood in Michigan\, his early anti-establishment politics and lifelong love affair with the former Betty Bloomer\, whose impact on American culture he predicted would outrank his own. As president\, Ford guided the nation through its worst Constitutional crisis since the Civil War and broke the back of the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression—accomplishing both with little fanfare or credit (at least until 2001 when the JFK Library gave him its prestigious Profile in Courage Award in belated recognition of the Nixon pardon).\n\nLess coda than curtain raiser\, Ford's administration bridged the Republican pragmatism of Eisenhower and Nixon and the more doctrinaire conservatism of Ronald Reagan. His introduction of economic deregulation would transform the American economy\, while his embrace of the Helsinki Accords hastened the collapse of the Soviet Union.\n\nIllustrated with sixteen pages of black-and-white photos\, this definitive biography\, a decade in the making\, will change history’s views of a man whose warning about presidential arrogance (“God help the country”) is more relevant than ever.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Caroline Sinders: Intertwined Intimacy
DESCRIPTION:Intertwined Intimacy is a series of architectural sculptures ruminating on privacy and intimacy\, and how the infrastructure of visible and invisible spaces influences communities\, communications\, and safety. \nThis work stems from artist Caroline Sinders&#039\; previous work combining research driven art and human rights analysis that responds to current technology systems by focusing on how the design of &#039\;infrastructural&#039\; and &#039\;architectural&#039\; spaces\, both online and offline\, impacts safety. By focusing on prototypian futures\, Intertwined Intimacy observes impacts through public infrastructure\, and open\, digital commons inspired by mutual aid and open source technology. To generate this research\, Sinders analyzed how structures\, metaphors and engagements of privacy and security within technology impact mental models The sculptures create a labyrinth\, allowing for a space of reflection and consideration for the audience\, as the sculptures slowly become more and more opaque\, offering areas of hidden solitude and refuge.\nCaroline Sinders is the 2023 Roman J. Witt Artist in Residence. This annual international competition awards one residency per academic year to a visiting artist/designer who proposes to develop a new work in collaboration with members of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &amp\; Design and the University of Michigan community. Learn more about Sinders&#039\; residency and practice in this Q&amp\;A.\nSinders is an award winning critical designer\, researcher\, and artist. She is the founder of human rights and design lab\, Convocation Research + Design. For the past few years\, she has been examining the intersections of artificial intelligence\, intersectional justice\, systems design\, harm\, and politics in digital conversational spaces and technology platforms. She has worked with the Tate Exchange at the Tate Modern\, the United Nations\,the European Commission\, Ars Electronica\, the Harvard Kennedy School and others. Sinders is currently based between London\, UK and New Orleans\, USA.
