SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SRC Seminar Series Presents: The Unsettled Science of Early Childhood Education
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nHigh-quality preschool programs are widely believed to be an effective policy tool to promote the development and life-long wellbeing of children from low-income families. Yet evaluations of recent preschool programs produce puzzling findings\, including negative impacts\, and divergent\, weaker results than were shown in demonstration programs implemented in the 1960s and 70s. In this talk\, I will present our team’s review of more recent\, rigorous studies that supports more cautious conclusions regarding the long-term effectiveness of today’s preschool programs. I will then provide potential explanations for why modern evaluations of preschool programs have produced less positive and more mixed results\, focusing on changes in a broad range of counterfactual conditions and preschool instructional practices. I will also address popular explanations such as subsequent low-quality schooling experiences that\, we argue\, do not appear to account for weakening program effectiveness. The field must take seriously the smaller positive\, null\, and negative impacts from modern programs and strive to understand why effects vary and how to boost program effectiveness through rigorous\, longitudinal research.\n\nBiography:\nJade Marcus Jenkins is an Associate Professor at the University of California Irvine School of Education studying early childhood policy. Her work is multidisciplinary\, focusing on issues that are amenable to educational and social policy intervention\, using diverse research methods to evaluate programs and understand the mechanisms that promote child and family wellbeing. She received her B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Florida in Family\, Youth and Community Sciences\, and Ph.D. in Public Policy from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After the M.S. program\, Jade worked at a quasi-governmental nonprofit in Florida’s early childhood care and education system. This firsthand experience in policy implementation was her primary motivation to pursue a Ph.D. in public policy and specialize in early childhood development to learn how to evaluate and develop policies that provide support for families with young children and reduce poverty in the long-term.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DSI Lecture Series | Data Heresy: A Queer Incomputable Tale
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Elisa Giardina Papa will outline the theoretical and archival research which informs two of her experimental video installations\, Cleaning Emotional Data and “U Scantu”: A Disorderly Tale. Presenting images she collected while working as a “data cleaner” for various AI systems\, she will address the ways in which machines are disciplined and trained to see. Tracing\, bounding-boxing\, and labeling are key operations used to teach machines to separate Data from data\, signal from noise\, and orderly things from disorderly ones. They are also\, Giardina Papa argues\, the onto-epistemological operations of modern imperial and colonial conquest. To address AI’s normative impulse to divide and classify\, create hierarchies and produce difference\, we need to understand machine vision not only as a “new” tool of extractive capitalism but also\, more importantly\, as one of the many tools of a recursive hegemonic ordering of the world. Ultimately\, this talk will be an invitation to reflect on modes of seeing otherwise which remain radically unruly\, irreducible\, and incomputable.\n\nElisa Giardina Papa is an artist and scholar\, Assistant Professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University. Her research-based art practice seeks forms of knowledge and desire that have been lost or forgotten\, disqualified\, and rendered nonsensical by hegemonic demands for order and legibility. Working across Artificial intelligence-based projects\, large-scale video installations\, experimental films\, and writing\, she draws attention to those aspects of our lives that remain radically incomputable.\n\nHer work has been exhibited at the 59th Biennale di Venezia (The Milk of Dreams)\, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA’s Modern Mondays)\, the Whitney Museum (Sunrise/Sunset Commission)\, Martin-Gropius-Bau Berlin\, ICA and Frieze London\, BFI London Film Festival\, Vienna Secession\, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt\, Haus Der Kulturen Der Welt (HKW) Berlin\, 6th Buenos Aires Bienal de la Imagen en Movimiento\, Seoul Mediacity Biennale 2018\, the Center for Contemporary Art Tashkent\, Uzbekistan\, M+ Hong Kong\, among others. Her latest art book\, Leaking Subjects and Bounding Boxes: On Training AI (Sorry Press\, 2022)\, documents the methods currently used to teach Artificial intelligence to capture\, classify\, and order the world and presents a collection of images that exceed computation. Forthcoming essays include the foreword for Informatics of Domination (Duke University Press\, 2024).\n\nElisa Giardina Papa co-founded the artist collective Radha May. Alongside Indian artist Nupur Mathur and Ugandan artist Bathsheba Okwenje\, they collaborate on performances and art installations that uncover hidden histories and marginalized sites\, examining their intersections with gender\, sexuality\, and colonialism. She holds a Ph.D. in Film and Media from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and has previously held positions at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and the Rhode Island School of Design.\n\nWe want to make our events accessible to all participants. This event will be a hybrid event with both a physical meeting space and an online meeting space. \n\nPlease register in advance for the online Zoom Webinar here: https://bit.ly/3ArOQz8\n\nPlease register for the physical meeting space at the University of Michigan’s Central Campus: https://myumi.ch/pkrey \n\nCART will be provided. If you anticipate needing accommodations to participate\, please email Eric Mancini at dsi-administration@umich.edu. Please note that some accommodations must be arranged in advance and we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student CA Seminar - Cohen Structure Theorem
DESCRIPTION:The Cohen Structure Theorem classifies all Noetherian\ncomplete local rings as quotients of power series rings. The statement is most\nconcise in equicharacteristic\, but can be stated in mixed characteristic as well\,\nand in both cases the proof hinges on the existence of a “coefficient ring”. In\nthis talk we introduce coefficient rings\, discuss their existence\, and then\nstate the Cohen Structure theorem in both equi- and mixed characteristics.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Webinar: Community Building through Collaborative Science: Evolution of the Mangrove Coast Collaborative
DESCRIPTION:The Mangrove Coast Collaborative (MCC) project (2020 – 2024) began in the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria (September 2017). Jobos Bay and Rookery Bay NERRs jointly recognized the need to understand and enhance the resilience of their mangrove ecosystems and the surrounding communities in southeastern Puerto Rico and southwest Florida\, respectively. Through a multi-disciplinary approach spanning four research themes – time-series mapping\, ecosystem assessment\, ecosystem services modeling\, and management options – the MCC investigated the loss and recovery of mangroves\, the relationships between drivers of hurricane impact and recovery\, the effects to ecosystem services\, and the ways that managers have made information-based decisions. Using co-production methods\, the project team developed and shared products at a recent regional Mangrove and Management Forum that brought together a newly coalescing community of mangrove scientists and managers in the southeastern US and Caribbean.\nIn this webinar\, the project team will describe how the mangrove science-to-management community developed as an integral part of the MCC and will share an overview of how the ongoing results of the MCC have responded to the needs of this growing community.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Bonding and Reactivity in Low-Coordinate Late Transition Metal Complexes
DESCRIPTION:Low-coordinate complexes of the late transition metals exhibit unusual bonding and reactivity. The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand framework has proven remarkably useful in the support of reactive complexes of copper\, silver and gold. Beginning with reactive coinage metal hydrides\, we have studied metal–element and metal–metal interactions with an eye toward catalysis. More recently\, we are exploring copper complexes that may react analogously to heterogeneous copper(0).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Entanglement complexity and precision measurement with cold atom qubits
DESCRIPTION:The spin and motional degrees of freedom of ultracold atoms along with our ability to manipulate them with electric and magnetic fields form a superb resource for simulation and sensing with quantum mechanical states.  In our experiments\, we create arrays of single atoms held in optical tweezers and introduce entangling interactions by promoting their outer electrons to high lying\, Rydberg orbitals\, allowing for tunable electric dipole couplings. I will present our recent progress toward characterizing and harnessing entanglement growth in this system and its eventual application to atom interferometry with entangled matter.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Seminar: A Frobenius version of Tian's alpha-invariant
DESCRIPTION:This talk is about a close relationship between two seemingly different topics: complex geometry and commutative algebra in characteristic p. This relationship is facilitated by certain invariants of singularities\, namely the log canonical threshold and the F-pure threshold. We will present an application of this idea to the study of Fano varieties by introducing a characteristic p analog of Tian's alpha-invariant. Tian introduced the alpha-invariant in 1987 to detect the existence of Kähler–Einstein metrics on Fano varieties.\nThis invariant has played a central role in the study of complex Fano varieties and their K-stability. We will discuss the many similarities\, and some surprising differences between the Frobenius-alpha invariant and its complex counterpart.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EHAP Lecture Series: Why Do People Cooperate? Psychological Mechanisms Underlying Cooperative Motives\, Behaviors and Emotions
DESCRIPTION:People who successfully navigate life’s many challenges often do so through cooperative efforts. However\, successful cooperation also relies on people’s ability to discern when\, how\, and with whom to invest their limited time and resources. Despite the centrality of cooperation to human flourishing\, the ecological\, cultural\, and psychological mechanisms that facilitate cooperation require further investigation. Using a variety of methods — including surveys\, experiments\, longitudinal studies and field research — with diverse groups (e.g.\, American ranchers\, Nicaraguan horticulturalists\, nationally representative samples\, multinational participants)\, I will present findings addressing three central questions: (1) Why do people cooperate? (2) What are the psychological mechanisms underlying cooperation? and (3) What are the consequences of cooperation for relationships\, collective-risk management and well-being? Across several studies\, I'll show how positive interdependence guides people’s cooperative motives\, behaviors and other-oriented emotions (e.g.\, empathic concern). I will conclude by advancing and suggesting future directions based on a theoretical framework in which interdependence and cooperation act as mediating factors linking socio-ecological circumstances to social integration and well-being.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Paranoid Patriotism Redux: The Radical Right and the Nation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2025 Annual Betty Ch'Maj Lecture: “Paranoid Patriotism Redux: The Radical Right and the Nation\,”  delivered by Robin D.G. Kelley\nTuesday\, April 1\, 2025\, \nStarting at 4:00 PM \nIn the Great Lakes Room @Palmer Commons (100 Washtenaw Ave\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109)\n\nRobin D. G. Kelley\, Distinguished Professor\, and Gary B. Nash\, Endowed Chair in U.S. History and professor of African American studies at the University of California\, Los Angeles\, will deliver this year’s Betty Ch’maj Distinguished American Studies Lecture.\n\nHis many notable publications include Africa Speaks\, America Answers: Modern Jazz in Revolutionary Times (2012)\; Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original (2009)\; Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination (2002)\; Race Rebels: Culture\, Politics\, and the Black Working Class (1994)\; and Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists During the Great Depression (1990).\n\nThe Annual Betty Ch’maj Distinguished American Studies Lecture Series\, established to honor Betty Ch'maj's legacy\, was made possible with generous support from the Ch’maj family. In 1961\, Ch’maj received the very first Ph.D. in American Culture at Michigan. She continued her career researching American literature and music\, founding the Radical Caucus of the American Studies Association in the 1970s and working to challenge systemic gender discrimination in American Studies programs.\n\nKelley’s lecture will draw historical lessons and parallels between our current moment and 1962\, the year of Dr. Betty Ch’maj’s landmark essay\, “Paranoid Patriotism: The Radical Right and the South.” From the resurgence of the Klan to the rise of the alt-right\, Kelley will explore how the extreme Right is no longer just extreme but mainstream and why our current era may be more dangerous and reactionary than any other in modern U.S. history. \n\nFree and Open to the Public\n\nReception to Follow.Registration is not mandatory but is encouraged.
