SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Generative AI Availability\, Grades\, and Student Satisfaction at a Large University
DESCRIPTION:The spread of generative AI (GenAI) in higher education has raised concerns that students offload cognitive effort to AI\, earning high grades without learning. If this \"GenAI substitution hypothesis\" is true\, grades should rise disproportionately in GenAI-susceptible courses -- those relying more on assessments like take-home problem sets and essays rather than in-class exams. Substitution could also affect student satisfaction\, measured here as self-reported understanding and interest in the subject\, which prior research links to assessments. We test the substitution hypothesis using syllabus and administrative data from a large U.S. university (2016-2025\; 138\,386 students\; 72\,730 course offerings). We measure courses' GenAI susceptibility using a human-validated LLM pipeline to extract assessment types from syllabi\, and use a differences-in-differences design comparing outcomes across courses before and after ChatGPT's release\, while modeling COVID-19 pandemic effects as either persistent or transient. We find no significant differential effect of GenAI availability on grades overall or among previously lower-performing students. Effects on self-reported understanding are likewise insignificant\; effects on interest are significant only assuming transient pandemic effects. Our findings temper concerns that GenAI inflates grades and reduces students' satisfaction.\n\nAuthors: James M.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Why Didn't the U.S. Unemployment Rate Rise at the End of WWII? (with Shigergu Fujita)
DESCRIPTION:This paper investigates why the U.S. unemployment rate rose only a few percentage points despite the dramatic decline in government spending and other upheaval at the end of World War II. Using a new longitudinal data set based on archival sources and government surveys\, we study the many facets of this question. Our findings suggest the following answers. First\, the dramatic decline in government spending led to a significantly smaller decrease in GDP than predicted by standard Keynesian models. Instead\, private job creation surged as private activity was “crowded in” by the fall in government spending. Second\, even accounting for the smaller fall in GDP\, the unemployment rate rose much less than predicted by Okun’s Law. We develop a new decomposition method that reveals how unusual movements in labor force participation rates\, hours worked\, and productivity led to a breakdown in Okun’s law during the 1940s. Third\, the U.S. labor market worked with astounding efficiency: despite large sectoral shifts at the end of the war\, most of the workers who separated from their jobs moved directly into new jobs without experiencing unemployment. All of these factors lined up to create a post-war boom despite the largest fall in government spending in U.S. history.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2026-2027 CSAS Lecture Series | Cultivating a Global Radical Imagination at the Grassroots: Communist Women’s Mobilization in Mid-20th-c. Assam/Eastern Bengal
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. If you would like to attend via Zoom\, registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/2jjGN\n\nThis talk examines the lives and political projects of young women activists in 1930s–40s Sylhet who were drawn to join the Communist Party. Among them was Hena (Dutt) Das\, who remained in (East) Pakistan after Partition\, and who would be politically and socially engaged in Bangladesh until her death in 2009. In this talk\, Shehabuddin will focus on the revolutionary education and experiences that first brought Hena Dutt and her teenage classmates to the Communist Party\, how they understood and inhabited communism in their daily lives\, and how their personal and political histories complicate ideas about religious and national belonging\, about the much-described tug between communism and feminism\, and about the relationship between the personal and the political.\n\nElora Shehabuddin is professor of gender & women's studies\, director of global studies\, and director of the Subir and Malini Chowdhury Center for Bangladesh Studies at UC Berkeley. Her last book\, *Sisters in the Mirror: A History of Muslim Women and the Global Politics of Feminism* was selected as a 2022 Choice Outstanding Academic Title by the American Library Association and awarded the 2023 Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy Book Prize from the Association for Asian Studies. She currently serves as co-editor of the *Journal of Bangladesh Studies* (Brill)\, on the editorial board of the Cambridge University Press book series\, *Muslim South Asia* and as president of the Association for Asian Studies.\n\n*Image Credit: Waseka Nahar/HerStories*\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.
