SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Devil is in the Tail: Macroeconomic Tail Risk Expectations of Firms
DESCRIPTION:This paper examines novel survey evidence on firms’ beliefs about macroeconomic tail risk and their role in investment decisions. In a large survey of firms\, I elicit the subjective probability of a severe macroeconomic downturn and firms’ exposure to such events. Using observational and experimental variation\, I find that a higher probability of a severe macroeconomic downturn substantially lowers investment\, particularly for more exposed firms\, beyond what can be explained by changes in firms’ subjective first and second moments. In a heterogeneous firm model calibrated to the survey evidence\, tail risk concerns make fiscal policy particularly effective for stabilizing investment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? A History of Voting in America”
DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

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:Workshop / Seminar:How to Teach Appreciative Interviewing
DESCRIPTION:Activities that ask students to conduct interviews\, particularly of community members\, can be a powerful method for helping students research real-world issues and understand diverse perspectives. While interview assignments are common across academic disciplines\, less common is explicit instruction for students on effective techniques for interviewing. How might we prepare our students to effectively build rapport with\, interview\, and collect stories or information from communities?\n\nIn this session\, staff from U-M’s Ginsberg Center will share methods for teaching students skills in appreciative interviewing\, an approach to interviewing that emphasizes interviewee expertise and encourages interviewers to guard against deficit-based thinking. Throughout the session\, we’ll model discussions and activities from Ginsberg Center that you can use to prepare your students for interviewing. In the process\, you’ll have the opportunity to practice skills that will strengthen your own communication with students\, be it in office hours\, classroom instruction\, supervision\, or other contexts.\n\nREGISTER: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/111999

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Metricracy: The Data and Symbolic Politics of a Chinese Social Credit System
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/kVZXk\n\nBased on fieldwork inside one of China's most celebrated social credit systems\, this talk shows what actually happens when a state tries to score the moral lives of its citizens. Far from the all-seeing surveillance machine\, the system runs on data that are selectively collected and routinely fabricated—and even then\, the state struggles to make the score mean anything\, facing constant contestation and reinterpretation. This notorious system\, Dr. Liu will suggest\, is less an authoritarian anomaly than a sharp lens on the contradictions of governing by numbers anywhere.\n\nChuncheng Liu is a sociologist of knowledge and technology who studies the politics of data and classification. An assistant professor of communication and sociology at Northeastern University\, he earned his Ph.D. in sociology and science studies at the University of California\, San Diego\, and was a postdoctoral researcher at Microsoft Research New England. His current research examines the politics of sociotechnical systems that surveil and classify citizens. His work has appeared in journals including *Big Data & Society*\; *Information\, Communication & Society*\; *Social Science & Medicine*\; and *Science\, Technology & Human Values*\, and has been featured in outlets such as The Guardian\, Bloomberg\, and Rest of World.\n\n*Part of the International Institute Theme Year: Sovereignty*\nhttps://myumi.ch/ii-theme

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:OGPS GenAI Essentials - Fall 2026
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI tools are increasingly part of academic\, research\, and professional work\, but using them effectively requires more than knowing how to write a prompt. GenAI Essentials is a practical workshop series designed to help graduate students and postdoctoral scholars make informed\, responsible decisions about when and how to use generative AI.Through interactive sessions and hands-on activities\, participants will examine the capabilities and limitations of GenAI tools\, practice strategies for using AI in writing and communication\, and develop more intentional approaches to prompting and evaluating AI-generated responses.Participants may register for one or more sessions.By the end of the Fall 2026 series\, participants will be able to:Evaluate appropriate uses and limitations of generative AI in academic\, research\, and professional contexts.Identify ethical\, privacy\, academic integrity\, and disclosure considerations that should inform GenAI use.Use GenAI strategically to support revision\, feedback\, and professional communication without outsourcing authorship or judgment.Develop more specific and effective prompts by identifying the characteristics\, goals\, and conventions of the writing they want to produce or improve.If you have any questions\, please reach out Dr. Ioannis Chremos (ichremos@umich.edu)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Between Asante and the Whiteman: Fante and Ga Pressmen and the Racialization of Ethnicity in Gold Coast Newspapers
DESCRIPTION:With the “Hear\, Here” series\, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk:\nThis talk illuminates the contradictory racial politics of late nineteenth-century African-owned newspapers by analyzing how Fante and Ga pressmen\, who positioned themselves as African defenders of African interests\, deployed racist depictions of the Asante empire in an effort to solicit British protection. This Faustian bargain backfired and when British protection led to colonial conquest\, these same newspapers mobilized race as the primary language of political dissent against British rule.\n\nCarina Ray is a 2026-27 Helmut F. Stern Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Associate Professor\, History.
