SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Selecting Accessible Third-Party Products
DESCRIPTION:Third-party software\, platforms\, and digital services play an essential role in how we work\, teach\, learn\, and engage with the public. When these tools are not accessible\, however\, they can create significant barriers for students\, faculty\, staff\, and community members. University units share responsibility for choosing accessible products that support equitable access to our programs\, services\, and activities.     \n\nThis session will provide practical strategies for evaluating and procuring accessible third-party products throughout the full purchasing lifecycle—from the earliest stages of product selection and review\, through contract execution\, implementation\, and ongoing vendor management. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to build accessibility into procurement decisions and support more inclusive digital experiences across the university.\n\nAmerican Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services and Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) captioning services will be provided. If you need additional accommodations to participate in this webinar\, please email the ADA Coordinator at ADAcoordinator@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Buying Time: Optimal Service Purchase and Retirement Timing in Defined Benefit Plans
DESCRIPTION:We study retirement timing decisions in a defined benefit (DB) pension plan with a service-purchase\noption. An employee who would otherwise retire at a fixed time T may elect to purchase L additional\nyears of service and retire early. Earlier retirement provides additional leisure but requires an upfront\npayment and typically results in a reduced post-retirement income stream. We model this trade-off in\na continuous-time retirement framework by allowing the employee to choose L to maximize the value\nof wealth and leisure at retirement in both deterministic and life-contingent settings. Our model\ncaptures a common feature of public pension systems: early retirement is often accompanied by both\nan upfront cost and a permanent reduction in benefits. We show that this structure yields tractable\nand intuitive results in several benchmark cases\, including settings without mortality risk and settings\nwith mortality risk under simplifying assumptions. In more general cases\, we characterize optimal\nbehavior through comparative statics and numerical examples. A key insight is that the interaction\nbetween the finite-horizon value of leisure and the lifetime cost embedded in pension pricing can\ngenerate a range of behaviors\, including monotone strategies and interior optima. While many results\nalign with economic intuition\, others require more careful interpretation. We also extend the model to\nallow for dynamic decision-making via a multi-period service-purchase option\, solved by backward\ninduction. The results provide insight into optimal retirement timing and the role of plan design in\nshaping participant behavior. This is joint work with David Kausch and Virginia Young.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DISCO Network Presents - Feeling the Future: Asian/Americanist Takes on Techno-Empire\, Chinamaxxing\, & the “American Century of Humiliation”
DESCRIPTION:\"You've met me at a very Chinese time in my life.\" American social media users and influencers like Hasan Piker\, I Show Speed\, and Kris Jenner have become newly interested in China as a source of cultural and technological inspiration. This panel of experts in technology policy\, Chinese techno-culture\, and the interplay between the U.S. and Asia will discuss the roots of \"Chinamaxxing\" in U.S. China relations. The panelists are members of the A\,I.eeeee Collective and co-authors of a new book project called \"Feeling the Future: Asian American Takes on Techno-Empire\" which discusses Asian semiconductors\, A.I.\, robots\, and electric vehicles as sources of both envy and of resentment.\n\nThis event is open to the public\, and we encourage all interested faculty\, graduate students\, and undergraduate students to attend.\n\nRefreshments will be provided to the first 100 attendees.\n\nA corresponding opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to enjoy a free networking lunch with the panelists will be available. Interested students may register for this session using the same form as the main event.\n\nAdvance registration is recommended:\n\nRegister to attend in-person: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/22866\n\nRegister to attend on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_DDCtopKmSYalc0nf9BadMg\n\nMeet the Panelists:\n\nBrian J. Chen is Data & Society’s policy director\, leading the organization’s work to shape tech policy. With a background in movement lawyering and legislative and regulatory advocacy\, he has worked extensively on issues of economic justice\, political economy\, and tech governance. Previously\, Brian was a senior staff attorney at the National Employment Law Project\, where he led campaigns to strengthen the labor and employment rights of digital platform workers and others in precarious industries. His writing has appeared in The Baffler\, Phenomenal World\, Boston Review\, and other magazines. He holds a JD from New York University School of Law and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan.\n\nJulie Y. Chu is a sociocultural anthropologist with interests in mobility and migration\, economy and value\, ritual life\, material culture\, media and technology\, and state regulatory regimes. Her book\, Cosmologies of Credit: Transnational Mobility and the Politics of Destination in China (Duke University Press\, 2010)\, received the 2011 Sharon Stephens Prize from the American Ethnological Society and the 2012 Clifford Geertz Prize from the Society for the Anthropology of Religion. It was also shortlisted for the 2011 Gregory Bateson Prize from the Society of Cultural Anthropology.  Her current writing project is entitled The Hinge of Time: Infrastructure and Chronopolitics at China's Global Edge. Based on three years of fieldwork largely among Chinese customs inspectors and transnational migrant couriers\, this work will analyze the various infrastructures in place (legal-rational\, financial\, cosmic\, piratical) for managing the temporal intensities and rhythms of people and things on the move between Southern China and the United States. \n\nJasmine Ehrhardt is a PhD Candidate in American Culture and Digital Studies at the University of Michigan. Their research engages in critical prison studies\, digital media studies\, and Asian American studies. Their dissertation \"Making the High-Tech Prison: Media\, Infrastructure\, and Counter-Narratives of the Digital\,” explores the knowledge production\, analysis\, and media practices of imprisoned radicals and abolitionists\, and their relationships to digital technology. Analyzing the archives of abolitionist intellectual and political work from the 1970s to the 2010s—in print and digital forms such as zines\, essays\, personal correspondence\, podcasts\, TikToks\, and other social media ephemera—this work shows how surveillance\, security\, and digital communications technologies have structured political organizing and repression inside US prisons. Jasmine's writing has appeared in AfterImage\, Journal of Visual Culture\, and Amerasia Journal. \n\nPaul Kim is a PhD candidate in the Film and Media Studies department at UC Santa Barbara (UCSB). His work lies at the intersection of critical AI studies\, critical race studies\, and visual studies. His dissertation titled “Recommending Race” investigates racial subjectivity within the contemporary recommender system. His work has been supported by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center at UCSB (IHC) and the Asian/Pacific American Caucus of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies (SCMS)\, among others. He has co-organized the 9th iteration of the Media Fields conference\, “Witnessing\,” and is on the editing team for the ensuant special issue of Media Fields. His work has been published in AI & Society. In his free time\, Paul ravenously watches cinema of the 2020s (TikTok and\, recently and excitingly\, Instagram Reels).\n\nMeet the Moderator:\n\nLisa Nakamura is the Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor in the Department of American Culture at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. She is the lead Principal Investigator of the DISCO (Digital Inquiry\, Speculation\, Collaboration\, and Optimism) Network along with Rayvon Fouché\, Catherine Knight Steele\, and M. Remi Yergeau. Nakamura is also the founding Director of the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan and has been writing about digital media\, race\, and gender since 1994. She has written books and articles on digital bodies\, race\, and gender in online environments\, on toxicity in video game culture\, and the many reasons that Internet research needs ethnic and gender studies. She is the author of The Inattention Economy: How Women of Color Built the Internet (University of Minnesota\, 2026)\, Digitizing Race: Visual Cultures of the Internet (University of Minnesota\, 2007) and Cybertypes: Race\, Ethnicity\, and Identity on the Internet (Routledge\, 2002). \n\nWe want to make our events accessible to all participants.
