SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Health\, History\, Demography & Development (H2D2)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis study investigates how early-life conditions interact with subsequent human capital investments to influence future educational outcomes. To provide causal evidence\, we exploit two sources of exogenous variation: i) variation in early-life environments resulting from a child's exposure to extreme rainfall and drought shocks in early-life\; and ii)\, variation in subsequent investments resulting from the availability of conditional cash transfers (CCT) that promote investments in children's health and education. Using Colombian administrative data\, we combine a natural experiment with a regression discontinuity design using the CCT assignment rule. Results show that\, although the CCT has an overall positive impact on children's educational outcomes\, it does not have a differential effect on children exposed to early-life shocks\; however\, the overall effect of the program is large enough to mitigate the negative impact of the weather shock. These findings have important policy implications as they provide evidence of the role of social policies in closing gaps generated by early-life trauma.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Building on Dreams: Chinese Construction\, Workers\, Rural-Urban Development\, and the Making of Masculinity
DESCRIPTION:Over the past three decades in China\, the spectacular rise of modern cities has been made possible by the strength and labor of a vast workforce from the countryside. Typically\, migrant construction workers spend eleven months each year in cities\, returning to their villages only during New Year to reunite with their families. The mostly-male construction workforce makes up the most visible segment of the so-called \"floating population\,\" hundreds of millions who are economically and legally suspended between urban employment and rural identities. Questions of gender and migrant experience in China have almost always focused on women’s work in factories. Construction work provides a parallel space to understand sex-segregated labor through the experiences of rural migrant men. The traditional privileges and ideologies of masculinity operate as resources that intensify the exploitation of rural male workers\, motivating them to persist in enterprises that entail their own exclusion. \n    \nWilliam Thomson is a socio-cultural anthropologist visiting UM this year as a postdoctoral fellow at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies. His research investigates relations of design and labor through China’s contemporary building sites where projects of global capital\, labor migration\, and architecture converge. His current book project expands on two years of intensive fieldwork with rural construction workers on sites in the city of Xi’an\, in local design studios\, and through extended visits to workers’ home villages in the Qinling mountains of Shaanxi Province. Before turning to anthropology\, Thomson worked for seven years in journalism and media\, including five years at WBUR Public Radio in Boston.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Michael McCulloch Lecture\,  \"Reform and Risk: Industrialists’ Housing in Model T Era Detroit\"
DESCRIPTION:Two neighborhoods were drawn at Detroit’s southwest border in the late 1910s. One\, a speculative grid of detached houses\, was built\, while the other\, a little-known\, Garden City inspired project with curving streets and community centers\, remained stranded on its designer’s desk. Industrial employers had a hand in the design\, and the fate\, of each. Examining the housing policies of the Ford Motor Company and other Detroit manufacturers following WWI\, this presentation will reframe the ultimate dominance of the commercial grid. More than a foregone conclusion\, or the only option available\, Detroit’s seemingly-endless rows of workforce housing were a medium through which industrialists navigated conflicting ideals: progressive reform and risk management.  \n\nMichael McCulloch is assistant professor\, Kendall College of Art and Design\, Ferris State University and a former fellow at the Institute for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
DESCRIPTION:Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills\, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water\, winter\, plants\, critters\, rocks and the heavens. Her work\, often representational and sometimes narrative\, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor\, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn\, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic History
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWhen open economies fix their exchange rate\, they constrain monetary policy. The trilemma implies that arbitrage\, not the central bank\, determines how interest rates fluctuate. The annals of international finance thus provide quasi-natural experiments with which to measure how macroeconomic outcomes respond to policy rates. Using historical data since 1870\, we estimate the local average treatment effect (LATE) of monetary policy interventions with a trilemma instrument and discuss the connection with the population ATE. Using local projection instrumental variable methods we find that the effects of monetary policy are much larger than previously estimated\, and that these effects are state-dependent. Using a novel control function approach we allow for possible spillovers via other channels and our results prove to be robust. Monetary policy has weak effects when output is depressed and when the economy has “lowflation.” Our findings have profound implications for monetary economics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Positioning Yourself for a Career Change\, Part 1: Thinking About Your Professional Identity
