SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Winter Seminar Series: ‘Unfriending’: Polarization and Political Disagreement in Social Networks
DESCRIPTION:‘Unfriending’: Polarization and Political Disagreement in Social Networks\nMonday\, March 6\, 2023 (3:30 PM – 5:00 PM)\n\nYanna Krupnikov\nProfessor of Communication and Media\nFaculty Associate\, Center for Political Studies\nUniversity of Michigan\n\nStories of polarization in the media have often focused on anecdotes about people who have stopped speaking with friends and family due to political differences — e.g. “unfriended” others due to politics. The possibility that politics has shifted long-term individual relationships has broad social implications. Therefore\, we analyze why and when people are most likely to “unfriend.” We argue that political disagreement is often the final step in a general breakdown of a relationship. In other words\, when political disagreements occur\, people are more likely to “unfriend” those whom they found unpleasant prior to the disagreement. Our results come from four national experiments. The first tracks the relative frequency of “unfriending” over political disagreement versus other types of interactions. The second considers whether it is political disagreement specifically that leads to “unfriending.” The final two studies combine these ideas\, tracking the conditions that are most likely to produce “unfriending” in different contexts of political extremity and polarization.\n\nYanna Krupnikov is Professor of Communication and Media at the University of Michigan. Her work focuses on political communication\, in particular attention to news\, political expression and social interactions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Conversations on Europe. Russian Gas and European Supply Chains: Examining the Consequences of the War in Ukraine for Europe’s Energy Policies
DESCRIPTION:After Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24th\, the European Union (EU) announced its plans to suspend imports of Russian energy sources definitively\, under its RepowerEU plan. The immediate consequence of the plan is a widespread supply shock to European economies. In this lecture\, Prof. Kang will discuss how EU-Russia economic relations have developed so far and how Russia's aggression over Ukraine changed Europe's geo-economic and political landscape. He will also provide an economic forecast of European countries and the possible impact on developing countries.\n\nYoo-Duk Kang is professor of economics at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (HUFS) in Seoul\, Korea\, where he was previously dean of the language and trade division and editor of the HUFS Press. He teaches undergraduate courses in international economics and trade\, and graduate courses in development economics and EU studies. His main research interests are trade policy\, economic integration\, and comparative studies of economic policies. He is also deeply interested in European studies from an economic perspective. Previously\, Kang worked at the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy (KIEP)\, where he published 40 policy reports about issues related to European economies\, and as an external consultant for the Korean Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Industry and Trade\, participating in implementation and assessment of Korea’s trade agreements. Professor Kang has contributed more than 70 academic articles to journals including the *Journal of European Integration*\, *Journal of Contemporary European Studies*\, *Journal of Economic Integration*\, and *Asian Development Review*. He is co-author and contributor of 30 books about international economics and European studies.\n\nThis lecture will be presented in person in 555 Weiser Hall and on Zoom. Webinar registration required at https://myumi.ch/bR9R6\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:STS Speaker Series. Power\, Responsibility\, and Reliability in the Electrical World
DESCRIPTION:Within contemporary electrification efforts in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) a common policy narrative is that unequal and unreliable grid services are partially the fault of electricity users themselves. SSA residents are often characterized as “thieves\,” “non-payers\,” and “entitled\,” whose behavior culminates in “nontechnical losses” that in turn cripples utilities’ effort to offer them better services. But the link between these so-called problematic users and their problematic systems is rarely empirically justified. \n\nIn this talk\, I turn to the history of electrical power\, reliability\, and responsibility in the first fifty years of US electrification to explore how ideas of delinquents\, nonpayers\, and thieves have evolved in the context of increasing reliability. I ask\, what does the history of these moralized subjects and attendant material conditions – those blamed for breakdowns/those held responsible – reveal about assumptions being made today? \n\nThis research and its implications are part of a broader effort to reflect on the tension between an idealized benchmark for access\, the ever-present connection\, and the kind that might in fact be feasible as access scales up in the context of humanitarianism and environmentalism. The talk explores multiple cycles of service expectations and reliability\, scale-up and expansion\, (non)payment and low investment\, and normalizations and moralizations with framing concepts from STS and postcolonial development.\n\nCo-sponsors: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\; Program in Science\, Technology & Public Policy\; African Studies Center

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Combinatorics:A brief introduction to Stanley-Reisner theory
DESCRIPTION:Stanley-Reisner theory provides a link between commutative algebra and combinatorics. We will define simplicial complexes and give the Stanley-Reisner correspondence between square-free monomial ideals in a polynomial ring and simplicial complexes. We will discuss the Alexander dual of simplicial complexes and of square-free monomial ideals. Finally\, we present various criterions for Cohen-Macaulayness of a square-free monomial ideal quotient in terms of combinatorial and geometrical information on the corresponding simplicial complex\, such as shellability\, pureness\, and homology.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Governing for environmental justice
DESCRIPTION:Whether efficient public transit\, climate change\, or air and water pollution\, marginalized communities are regularly denied access to healthy environments. Differences in power and political voice create differential impacts of our changing environment—natural and built—on these communities\, compromising access to basic necessities like clean water and breathable air. Legislation to redress these differential impacts requires policymakers to work hand in glove with the communities they represent.\n\nJoin Dr. Abdul El-Sayed - physician\, epidemiologist\, and newly appointed Director of the Wayne County Health\, Human & Veterans Services Department\, and a former Ford School Towsley Policymaker in Residence - for a conversation with policymakers at the intersection of social justice and environmental concerns. Dr. El-Sayed will be joined by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib and Michigan Senator Stephanie Chang (MPP/MSW '14) to reflect on their work to address environmental injustice in Michigan and beyond\, and the challenges and opportunities ahead.\n\nAt this event\, the Ford School will also recognize Senator Chang with the prestigious Neil Staebler Distinguished Service Award for her dedication to excellence in public service. Read the announcement here. \n\nRepresentative Rashida Tlaib is currently the Congresswoman for Michigan’s 12th Congressional District\, which includes the city of Detroit and many surrounding communities. She made history in 2008 by becoming the first Muslim woman to ever serve in the Michigan Legislature. \n\nSenator Stephanie Chang is a Ford School alumna and the first Asian American woman to be elected to the Michigan Legislature. Chang worked as a community organizer in Detroit for nearly a decade before serving two terms in the Michigan House of Representatives.\n\nCo-sponsored by the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:[Rackham] Racial Microaggressions
DESCRIPTION:Racial microaggressions can be uniquely harmful to their targets\, and yet we often find ourselves skirting around this subset of microaggressions due to discomfort in openly discussing race\, racism\, and white supremacy. In this workshop we hope to foster an intellectually humble environment within which we can unpack racial microaggressions\, address common barriers to intervening when a racial microaggression is inflicted\, and provide tools for successfully intervening in the future.\n\nLearning objectives:\nIdentify elements of systemic racism and understand its compounding nature\, and connect how systemic racism creates a breeding ground for racial microaggressions\nIdentify racial microaggressions and intervene to disrupt their impact\nPractice emotional self-awareness by identifying emotional barriers to intervening to disrupt a racial microaggressionThis workshop is designed for University of Michigan master's students\, doctoral students\, and postdoctoral fellows.
