SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED - Laura Lindberg -  Quality of Abortion Reporting in the US and Pathways to Improvement
DESCRIPTION:Laura Lindberg\nPrincipal Research Scientist\, Guttmacher Institute\n\nDr. Laura Lindberg is a Principal Research Scientist at the Guttmacher Institute\, where she has worked for nearly two decades.  As a social demographer\, Dr. Lindberg focuses on measuring the trends\, determinants and consequences of sexual and reproductive health in the U.S. population and working to improve the quality of survey data on sexual and reproductive behaviors.  She currently has two NICHD grants on measurement of core demographic constructs\, abortion and contraceptive failure rates.  Over the course of her career\, she has conducted policy-related research on adolescent sexual behaviors\, sex education\, adolescent preventive services\, unintended pregnancy and contraceptive use. Dr. Lindberg received her undergraduate degree from Princeton University\; she earned her MA and PhD in sociology at the University of Michigan\, where her favorite class was on survey research methods with Bob Groves.\n \nQuality of Abortion Reporting in the US and Pathways to Improvement \n\nDespite the fact that an estimated one in five pregnancies in the United States end in induced abortion\, abortion remains a highly sensitive\, stigmatized and thus difficult-to-measure behavior.  I will present on a body of recent research designed to help to develop new techniques and improve existing methodologies for measuring abortion reporting.  First\, I share a series of quantitative analyses to identify the scope and correlates of abortion underreporting for three of the most commonly used national fertility surveys in the United States: the National Survey of Family Growth\, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997\, and the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. These analyses informed the development of new question designs were explored in cognitive interviews and experimentally tested and evaluated in a national survey.   Abortion underreporting in population surveys has far-reaching implications for research in sexual and reproductive health and maternal and child health.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Carrying the Torch
DESCRIPTION:Fire has profoundly influenced ecosystems across the planet. It is a natural phenomenon borne of lightning\, but it is also a cultural one carried in the hands of human beings. As the singular species with the ability to harness fire\, it has played a fundamental role in our own evolutionary history and that of the environments we inhabit. We have expanded the natural range of fire as we have expanded our own\, introducing it to areas not commonly ignited by nature’s lightning and in doing so co-authoring ancient evolutionary pressures that have kindled remarkable diversity in landscapes and ecosystems.\n\nSouthern Michigan was once a dynamic mosaic of prairies and open savannahs bearing little resemblance to the landscape of today. Sustained and shaped by frequent fire\, these rich ecosystems formed a peninsula of grasslands extending millions of acres across the southern half of the state. Today\, less than 0.01% of these fire-dependent ecosystems remain\, reduced to remnants over a remarkably short 200-year window during which time fire suppression replaced a vital culture of burning by the region’s indigenous people. Without regular fire\, deeply shaded forests overtook savannahs and prairies\, obscuring the memory of a land once dominated by grasslands and the flames that created them. As diverse communities of fire adapted species decline and are replaced by others whose evolutionary mechanisms perpetuate pyric aversion\, fire itself is less and less capable of re-entering the landscape the longer it is absent. The window for action grows smaller each passing year. \n\nCarrying the Torch explores the unique fire ecology of southern Michigan through the visual arts\, probing its rich history\, examining its critical ecological mechanisms\, and drawing into focus the conflicting cultural ethos surrounding fire on the landscape. Encouraging viewers to consider prescribed fire today as the continuation of a practice dating back to the very emergence of our species\, it suggests through the presentation of the scientific evidence that to inhabit the prairie peninsula of southern Michigan is to be a mutualist with fire\, a carrier of the torch.
