SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Diasporic Dialogues with Robin Bernstein (Harvard) in conversation with Diana Louis (U-M)
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED !\n\nAn award-winning historian tells a gripping\, morally complicated story of murder\, greed\, race\, and the true origins of prison for profit.\n\nIn the early nineteenth century\, as slavery gradually ended in the North\, a village in New York State invented a new form of unfreedom: the profit-driven prison. Uniting incarceration and capitalism\, the village of Auburn built a prison that enclosed industrial factories. There\, “slaves of the state” were leased to private companies. The prisoners earned no wages\, yet they manufactured furniture\, animal harnesses\, carpets\, and combs\, which consumers bought throughout the North. Then one young man challenged the system.\n\nIn Freeman’s Challenge\, Robin Bernstein tells the story of an Afro-Native teenager named William Freeman who was convicted of a horse theft he insisted he did not commit and sentenced to five years of hard labor in Auburn’s prison. Incensed at being forced to work without pay\, Freeman demanded wages. His challenge triggered violence: first against him\, then by him. Freeman committed a murder that terrified and bewildered white America. And white America struck back—with aftereffects that reverberate into our lives today in the persistent myth of inherent Black criminality. William Freeman’s unforgettable story reveals how the North invented prison for profit half a century before the Thirteenth Amendment outlawed slavery “except as a punishment for crime”—and how Frederick Douglass\, Harriet Tubman\, and other African Americans invented strategies of resilience and resistance in a city dominated by a citadel of unfreedom.\n\nThrough one Black man\, his family\, and his city\, Bernstein tells an explosive\, moving story about the entangled origins of prison for profit and anti-Black racism.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Imagining Viewer Profiles: Bridging Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in Digital Media Research
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades\, big data has been offered as a means for more exacting\nviewer profiles in the streaming content landscape. Media measurement suppliers\, from\ncustom research houses to Nielsen\, have scrambled to align different\, sometimes\nincompatible\, data streams and to develop new media metrics to account for all the\nprospects in digital viewership. These moves privileging quantitative data to explain the\nbehavior and choices of the viewer appear to leave a reduced role for qualitative\nresearch methods. Even burgeoning methods looking at individual viewers\, such as\nbiometrics and neuroimaging\, rely on gathering quantitative data as a means of\nexplanation. In the pre-digital landscape\, qualitative methods\, from focus groups to\nethnographies and in-depth interviews\, played a larger part in the audience research\nmarketplace. While the delivery method and formats have shifted\, entertainment still\nrelies on character\, storytelling and connecting emotionally with a media text. All these\nissues can be gauged in a more meaningful way through qualitative research. This\npresentation addresses the role of qualitative research in a digital media environment\nincreasingly defined by media metrics. Without diminishing the value of the developing\nquantitative audience metrics and methods\, the goal is to understand what can be\ngained by returning to specific qualitative research approaches to understand the new\nworld of multiple screens\, multitasking\, social media marketing\, and fragmented\nviewership.\nBio:\nJustin Wyatt is Chair of Communication Studies at the University of Rhode Island. He\nworked professionally for 15 years on both the client and supplier sides of the media\nmarket research industry. His book\, Creating the Viewer: Market Research &amp\; the\nEvolving Media Ecosystem (2024)\, considers market research methods and protocols in\nthe digital television marketplace. He has published on media marketing\, history and\nindustrial practice over the past three decades. He holds a PhD in Film and Television\nStudies from UCLA and an undergraduate degree in Economics from the University of\nBritish Columbia.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IOE 899: Daniel Freund\, MIT CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO AN UNEXCEPTED ILLNESS\n\nAbout the speaker\nDaniel Freund is an Assistant Professor of Operations Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management. His research applies techniques from optimization\, stochastic modeling\, and revenue management to problems in transportation\, online platforms\, and humanitarian immigration among others. His work has been recognized with the George B. Dantzig Dissertation Award (2018) and the Daniel H. Wagner Prize for Excellence in Operations Research and Analytics (2018)\, as well as best paper awards from APS (2021) MSOM (2023)\, Service Science (2024)\, and PSOR (runner-up\, 2024). Daniel is an AE for Operations Research and Transportation Science and frequently serves on ACM program committees (e.g.\, EC\, EAAMO\, TheWebConf). Before joining MIT\, Daniel received a PhD from Cornell University and was a postdoc in Lyft’s Marketplace Labs.\n\nAbstract:\nIn this talk\, I will give an overview of my recent work at the intersection of humanitarian immigration and operations\, focusing on two scheduling applications: the dedicated docket in immigration courts for defensive asylum cases and USCIS’s prioritization policy for the scheduling of affirmative asylum interviews. Both settings involve service systems designed to evaluate promptly whether or not an applicant should get asylum\, and both settings deviate from traditional FIFO policies. However\, in contrast to traditional service systems\, both settings involve the benefits of waiting. I will discuss how these benefits can be modeled in both applications to capture key performance indicators\, and highlight the impact of scheduling policies on the efficiency and fairness of both service systems.\n\nThis talk is based on joint work with my PhD student\, Wentao Weng. A preprint of the first paper can be found here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4785713. This work received recognition as the 2024 Best Service Science Paper on DEIJ and as the runner-up for the 2024 Public Sector OR Best Paper Award.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Thinking Latin America in the Age of Catastrophe
DESCRIPTION:This reading and discussion group will bring together graduate students interested in advancing interdisciplinary conversations around contemporary Latin American artistic and cultural production and its dialogue with the concept of “catastrophe.” We will explore the role of female narratives and feminist discourse in the current context of planetary crisis and how they engage with recent debates on the limits of disaster and collapse.
