SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Additionality and Asymmetric Information in Environmental Markets: Evidence from Conservation Auctions
DESCRIPTION:Market mechanisms aim to reduce environmental degradation at low cost\, but they are undermined when participants’ conservation actions are not marginal to the incentive — or “additional” — as the lowest-cost participants may not be the highest social value. We investigate this challenge in the Conservation Reserve Program’s auction mechanism for ecosystem services\, linking bids to satellite-derived land use. Three-quarters of marginal auction winners are not additional. The heterogeneity in counterfactual land use introduces adverse selection. We develop a model of bidding and additionality to quantify welfare implications. Alternative auctions increase efficiency by using scoring rules that incorporate expected land use impacts.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CRAFT LECTURE: Proleptic Form: Toward a Poetics of Self Defense
DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): https://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters24\n\nSeats are limited and are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot.\n\nZell Visiting Writers Series craft lectures are free and open to the public\, and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (in The Robert Hayden Conference Room\, Angell Hall #3222). Please contact kimjulie@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.\n\nOf her lecture\, \"Proleptic Form: Toward a Poetics of Self Defense\,\" Monica says\, \"In rhetoric\, prolepsis is the anticipation of possible counterarguments or objections in order to answer them in advance. It’s a defensive posture\, one that assumes in advance that the speaker will be criticized or attacked. So it seems appropriate that proleptic form – a poetics of self defense – would be particularly the province of those groups who are accustomed to being attacked\, to constantly rebutting spoken and unspoken accusations of being overemotional\, hypersensitive\, irrational\, lazy\, unnuanced\, non-objective\, trivial\, overly political\, of always playing the race card\, the gender card\, the sexuality card\, the class card\, pick a card. Proleptic form assumes an audience not of the speaker’s tribe\, potentially a hostile audience\, an audience assumed to be in a dominant position in society\, often a White audience\, a cishet audience etc. I’ll look at some well-known examples\, Phillis Wheatley\, Bhanu Kapil\, Robin Coste Lewis\, Claudia Rankine\, Layli Long Soldier\, and Paul Tran and try to identify certain characteristics of proleptic form.\"\n \nMonica Youn is the author of four poetry collections\, most recently *FROM FROM*\, which won the Anisfield-Wolf Award and was a finalist for the 2023 National Book Award. It was also named a *New York Times Book Review Notable Book* and Best Poetry Book of 2023 and was a *Time*\, *NPR*\, *Publishers Weekly*\, *Library Journal*\, and *Electric Literature* Best Book of 2023. She has been awarded the Levinson Prize from the Poetry Foundation\, the William Carlos Williams Award of the Poetry Society of America\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a Witter Bytter Fellowship from the Library of Congress\, and a Stegner Fellowship. Her previous books have been shortlisted for the National Book Award\, the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Kingsley Tufts Award. A former constitutional lawyer\, she is a member of the curatorial collective the Racial Imaginary Institute and is a professor of English at UC Irvine. \n\nTess Taylor\, on *NPR’s All Things Considered*\, declared that “Monica Youn is one of the most consistently innovative poets working today.” As John Yau has put it\, “In every generation there is a handful of poets who challenge the way we think about language and how it is used. . . . It is to this distinguished company that Youn now belongs.” Claudia Rankine has called Youn’s work “disconcerting in its spectatorship and breathtaking in its beauty\,\" and Linda Gregerson says\, “Monica Youn\, quite simply\, is one of the two or three most brilliant poets working in America today.”  \n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure this event is inclusive to you. The building\, event space\, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. Diaper changing tables are available in nearby restrooms. Gender-inclusive restrooms are available on the second floor of the Museum\, accessible via the stairs\, or in nearby Hatcher Graduate Library (Floors 3\, 4\, 5\, and 6).

SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens
DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Research Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Louisiana State University associate sport management professor Per G. Svensson will give a presentation titled\, \"Accelerating Impact: Resource Mobilization and Innovation in Sport for Development.\" Light refreshments served. SKB room 2080 (directly above Diag entrance).\n\nRSVP: https://myumi.ch/ny52k\n\nAbstract: The field of sport for development and peace has attracted significant attention and has become increasingly formalized during the past 25-30 years. These types of organizations intentionally leverage sport for the purpose of achieving a set of social change-focused outcomes. The aim of this presentation is to share my personal journey of seeking to help such community-based sport organizations better serve their social missions. First\, I will highlight the unique context of sport for development and peace organizations for studying resource mobilization and organizational capacity. Second\, I will explore how these sport organizations have enabled important advances on social innovation within resource-constrained environments. Third\, I will discuss the development of experimental ways for advancing knowledge and developing more impactful ways for supporting the future generation of sport for social change organizations. Last\, I will reflect on my experience in publishing across top-ranked journals both within and outside of the sport management discipline on non-mainstream topics and contexts. In doing so\, I aim to identify key lessons learned for accelerating impact both in practice and in scholarship through sport management research. Additionally\, I will endeavor to identify expected future trends in flagship journals within sport management.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Distinguished Alumni Speaker Series: Daniel Almirall\, Associate Professor\, Institute for Social Research\, Research Associate Professor\, Department of Statistics\, University of Michigan.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: An adaptive intervention is a sequence of decision rules that guide the provision of intervention at critical decision points based on the evolving needs of individuals.  In many health\, education and policy settings\, adaptive interventions target clusters of individuals (e.g.\, clinics or schools)\, with the intent of improving outcomes at the level of individuals. These are called clustered adaptive interventions (cAIs).  Clustered\, sequential\, multiple-assignment\, randomized trials (cSMART) can be used to form high-quality clustered adaptive interventions. This non-technical talk introduces clustered adaptive interventions and cSMARTs\, and presents current and past research concerning the design and analysis of cSMARTs.  This includes recent work with University of Michigan students on finite-sample adjustment methods for the marginal mean comparison of cAIs (with W. Pan)\, an extension of moderator analyses using ideas from Q-learning (with Y. Song)\, and a three-level analysis method (with G. Durham)—i.e.\, repeated measures nested within individuals\, nested within clusters. It also includes a new cSMART design for the construction of event-triggered cAIs (with M. Ferlic). Time-permitting\, the talk ends by describing current challenges in the design and analysis of multilevel SMARTs\, a special type of clustered SMART\, whereby nested groups of individuals are randomized sequentially (e.g.\, a clinic-level randomization followed by a doctor-within-clinic-level randomization) leading to interesting questions concerning causal spillover. Throughout\, I draw on multiple examples from implementation science\, a relatively new area that concerns the optimization and evaluation of clustered interventions to improve the adoption of evidence-based practices.\n\n\nhttps://d3c.isr.umich.edu/person/daniel-almirall/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:The Politics of Theater: A Conversation with Professor Juliet Guzzetta (MSU) & Italian Author & Actor Giuliana Musso
DESCRIPTION:Can the live arts address societal urgent issues and if so\, how? Join us for a conversation about what it means to do political theater in today's world with award-winning Italian author and actor Giuliana Musso and theater studies scholar Juliet Guzzetta (MSU).  \n\nThis conversation follows the *Dentro (Inside)* performance at the Wharton Center for the Performing Arts in East Lansing on Thursday\, March 20th. The Department of Romance Languages and Literatures has set tickets aside for students interested in the play and is also organizing a shuttle to drive students and faculty to the performance Thursday night. Seats are limited so please sign up here if interested. \n\nAttendance to the play is not necessary to be part of this conversation which will touch upon questions of theater\, political engagement\, and activism more broadly.\n\nABOUT JULIET GUZZETTA AND GULIANA MUSSO:\n\n*Juliet Guzzetta* is Associate Professor with joint appointments in the Department of English and the Department of Romance and Classical Studies at Michigan State University. Her first book\, The Theater of Narration: From the Peripheries of History to the Main Stages of Italy (Northwestern UP\, 2021\; honorable mention\, MLA\, Scaglione Publication Award in Italian Literary Studies\; translation in Italian by Accademia University Press\, 2023)\, explores a form of contemporary solo theater in its historical\, political\, and performative dimensions. In addition to numerous essays in journals and edited volumes\, she recently co-edited an issue of gender/sexuality/italy on the concept of “conservative feminisms” with Ombretta Frau\, and published a translation of Giuliana Musso's *Dentro*. Una storia vera se volete. Currently she is co-editing a collection on Italian feminist thought with Graziella Parati titled *Italian Feminisms: Transnational Praxes for Today and Tomorrow*. She was recently awarded a 12-month Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities for her current monograph in progress\, *Acting Class: Lessons from Franca Rame*\, which centers Rame’s performances and activism as a model for political discourse\, socially committed artistry\, and grounded wide-ranging critique.\n\n*Giuliana Musso* is an acclaimed Italian playwright\, actress\, and director\, celebrated for her impactful storytelling and exploration of complex societal issues through the medium of documentary theatre. Over her two-decade career\, Musso has written plays that merge fiction with real-life accounts\, focusing on themes such as gender\, identity\, and human rights. Among her most recognized works are Nati in casa\, which portrays the intimate world of Italian midwifery and birth\, Sexmachine\, an exploration of masculinity and vulnerability\, and Mio eroe\, which examines families affected by war and the nuanced concept of heroism. Her recent play\, *Dentro* examines the private struggles and unspoken truths that shape individuals\, inviting the audience to confront the emotional landscapes that often remain unseen. Musso’s unique blend of empathy\, incisive social commentary\, and humor has cemented her as a significant voice in contemporary European theatre\, earning her numerous accolades and a devoted following.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Data & Research Methods Project: Office Hours
DESCRIPTION:All students are invited to join this free and open data science research project which can be used to supplement your digital research portfolio! On Friday\, March 21st\, we will meet for our next open Office Hours session to troubleshoot participant projects. Register and learn more: https://nebigdatahub.org/drm-project/ The Data &amp\; Research Methods project is perfect for beginners who have never worked with a dataset before. This project will also be helpful for advanced data science students who have little experience working with data cleaning or survey building\, desk research\, or data visualizations. The focus of this project is the research process as a whole.It is the first day of your new job as the Junior Data Scientist for the Office of the Mayor in the fictional town of Data Lake\, West Dakota. The population of Data Lake (314\,159) has grown rapidly since 2020 as a number of remote workers have relocated to the mid-size city. Mayor “Tess Ellation” has tasked your office with a project – to learn more about the specific needs of the town’s new remote work population. She asks you to review data on remote workers provided by the U.S. Census Bureau and come back to her with at least two data-driven policy recommendations which will support these new Data Lake families (for example\, a policy recommendation might be: build new coworking spaces downtown). Your policy recommendationsmust be informed by data analysis or Mayor Ellation will not adopt them. Participants will clean a dataset\, learn about the ethics of datascience research\, do some preliminary analysis\, and develop a working hypothesis about the impact of remote work policies. You'll build some simple data visualizations\, test your hypotheses\, write up a short conclusion\, and prepare a final report for Mayor Ellation. There are 9 Milestones in this project. There are several Tasks you need to complete within each Milestone. This project should take you no more than 30 hours to finish. Depending on your skill level\, it may take you less time.Inthis project\, you will learn using a combination of videos\, articles\, and external data work in spreadsheets. Our team has provided you with several external links and resources which will supplement your learning.Project participants who complete Milestones 1-9 in accordance with these instructions will receive a Certificate of Completion from the NSDC Project Team.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).
