SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Thursday Lecture Series | Producing People Who Have No One: Child Welfare and Well-Being in Japan
DESCRIPTION:If you wish to attend via Zoom\, please register at http://myumi.ch/M9Nme\n\nThis presentation explores how cultural norms surrounding kinship\, many deeply connected to national ideologies of Japanese identity\, play out when kinship realities diverge from normative expectations surrounding nurturance and care. Both in Japan—where the ethnographic data for this presentation originate—and also across the world\, social welfare systems too often “produce people who have no one\,” in the words of one of my interlocutors. What are the conditions for a welfare system that nurtures well-being that produces people who *have* people?\n   \n   Kate Goldfarb is a cultural and medical anthropologist. Her research focuses on the ways social relationships impact embodied experience\, intersections between public policy and well-being\, and the co-production of scientific knowledge and subjective experiences.\n   \n   Her first book project (*Fragile Kinships: Child Welfare and Well-Being in Japan*\, currently under review) explored how social inclusion and exclusion shape holistic well-being. She conducted longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork with people connected to the Japanese child welfare system\, examining the stakes of family disconnection in a country where the family is considered the basic social unit. This project investigated how kinship ideologies articulate with discourses of Japanese national and cultural identity\, how these discourses shape understandings of what is “normal\,” and how these concepts of normality are caught up in global circuits of knowledge surrounding human development\, child rights\, and concepts of “care” under the rubric of social welfare. This project’s analytical frameworks are shaped by kinship theory\, medical anthropology\, semiotics\, feminist studies of science\, and queer theory\, investigating how past and present social relationships are experienced in visceral\, embodied terms.\n   \n   Her most recent research\, based in the U.S.\, are collaborative projects that take the creation of and engagement with atmospheric data as a social field to study ethnographically. She is the Principal Investigator on a collaborative project funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration / National Weather Service in applied meteorological research\, “Smoke Exposure and Underserved Wildland Fire Communities.” An emergent project\, Knowing Air\, works to understand how shifting environmental factors—including increased wildfire activity and the COVID-19 pandemic—impact the ways people engage with air quality data (quantitative air quality indices and qualitative\, sensory\, story-based information) including measures of “invisible” pollutants such as ozone. Finally\, she is privileged to collaborate with the Louisville Historical Museum on their Marshall Fire Story Project to support the collection and archiving of community experiences surrounding the devastating December 30\, 2021 fire in Boulder County.\n   \n   This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PSC/GFP Brown Bag: Hannah Douglas
DESCRIPTION:A social stigma emerges from the interaction between specific characteristics deemed different or deviant based on the context specific social norms. This research seeks to understand the experiences of those living with a stigmatized or marginalized identity to improve individual wellbeing\, interpersonal relationships\, and enhance participation in organizational and academic settings. In this talk\, I will discuss how context impacts the experience of stigmatization across two different studies\; first by exploring how academic climate at different levels influences career attitudes for marginalized early career scholars. In this study\, we suggest that the academic climate within the research group\, department\, and professional field are important factors for marginalized scholars (e.g.\, scholars of color\, disabled scholars). Second\, I will provide an in-depth analysis of stigma identity disclosure through both verbal and nonverbal modalities. Disclosing a concealable stigmatized identity—such as a mental health disorder or sexual assault experience—is a complex process whereby the risk of discrimination is weighed against the burden of concealing. However\, little is known how individuals disclose across behavioural modalities\, such as language and nonverbal movement dynamics\, and situational contexts (e.g.\, professional settings). Taken together\, these studies demonstrate the dynamic nature of stigmatization and propose interventions at multiple levels to improve well-being intra-personally and at the broader systems level.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Chairs Distinguished Lecture: Morphable Intelligent Space Structures
DESCRIPTION:Xin Ning\nAssistant Professor\nDepartment of Aerospace Engineering \nPennsylvania State University\n\nAbout the seminar:\nIn the future\, space structures may be highly intelligent active systems that can morph\, adapt\, sense\, communicate\, manage energy\, process data\, grow\, and regenerate like biomaterials and biosystems. If such structures are realized\, they may serve as the structural foundation to enable truly intelligent space systems (e.g.\, spacecraft\, space robots\, and space architectures) that can pass Turing test. This talk will include several of our group’s efforts to pursue this challenging goal. The talk will begin with our work on developing a multifunctional bistable ultrathin composite boom for a 3U CubeSat that is scheduled to be launched to space in early 2023\, followed by discussions on the mechanics of bistable booms. I will then present our research on soft electronic skins and microsystems for morphable space structures from a broader perspective beyond the bistable booms. I will conclude the talk with my views on future collaborative\, interdisciplinary\, and long-term research that needs to be done to realize highly intelligent morphable space structures.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Xin Ning has been an assistant professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Pennsylvania State University since August 2018. Dr. Ning was a postdoctoral research associate from 2015 to 2018 at UIUC\, where he worked on soft electronics. Dr. Ning received his Ph.D. in Aeronautics in 2015 from Caltech\, where he studied buckling-resistant thin shells. Dr. Ning’s research focuses on aerospace structures with interdisciplinary work across mechanics\, soft electronics\, bioelectronics\, etc. His group has been supported by AFOSR\, NASA\, ONR\, NSF\, and various other external and internal grants. Dr. Ning is a recipient of several awards such as William F. Ballhaus Prize for outstanding doctoral dissertation in aeronautics at Caltech\, ONR Young Investigator Award\, and ASME Haythornthwaite Foundation Research Initiation Award.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar - Hybrid: All-female salamanders: the genomic\, evolutionary\, and ecological consequences of strange vertebrate reproduction
DESCRIPTION:Our weekly seminar series featuring internal and external speakers in the field of ecology and evolutionary biology. This seminar will be in-person and livestreaming on Zoom (link this page).\n\nAbstract: \nAll-female salamanders in the genus *Ambystoma* are the oldest unisexual vertebrates\, composed of a single mitochondrial lineage and multiple nuclear genomes introgressed from other salamander species. The unique characteristics of this system provide interesting perspectives on the maintenance of sex and polyploidy. Our work combines genomics\, physiological\, and ecological approaches to understand how all-female salamanders have co-existed with related sexual species\, how their numerous nuclear genomes have moved between lineages\, and how the interactions between their mitochondrial and nuclear genomes influence their basic physiology.\n\nContact eebsemaccess@umich.edu for Zoom password at least 2 hours prior to event.
