SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Place as Method\, Theory\, and Responsibility: Rethinking Scientific Inquiry for Complex Social Issues
DESCRIPTION:The challenge: New data and approaches to study complexity in the social world has often been without a concurrent focus on the foundations of scientific inquiry\, including complex thinking\, broad causal thinking\, attention to epistemic lens\, and integrating multiple disciplinary approaches. Further\, the academic research model\, with its resource-segregated networks\, discipline-specific training\, and short-term productivity metrics\, contributes to a fragmented and potentially misleading understanding of the social world. In the second annual ISR Symposium on Complexity in the Social World\, we will use ‘place’ as the case study to facilitate discussions on rigorous social science in the public interest.Using research on place as the case study\, discussion topics will include:Complex thinking about the social worldThe contribution of the humanities the study of the social worldEpistemic lens and research transparencyTheories\, frameworks\, and the limits of traditional causal inferenceThe draw and danger of cool new dataAddressing the challenges of the academic model of sciencePresentations on the science of place will include:The relational nature of place in population social inequalitiesThe role of history in shaping placeThe racialization of place\; the spatialization of racePlace as a neutral and rational driver of social inequalitiesApproaches to testing (causal) ideas around place

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DISCO Network Presents - Refuse\, Resist\, Repair: Making Critical Moves in the Times of AI
DESCRIPTION:A.I. is inevitable-- at least that is what we would be led to believe from the nonstop media coverage\, podcast interviews with tech billionaires\, and the advertisements interspersed in our TikTok and Reels doomscrolling sessions. But what does it mean to bring a critical eye to Generative A.I.? Why should the average person care about how their data is used to fuel these systems? Who does the labor that makes them work? And what impact will this push to incorporate A.I. in the classroom\, healthcare\, politics\, and pop culture have on us as a society and on our environment? This panel considers three possibilities: refusal\, resistance\, and repair as responses to A.I.'s creep into our daily lives.\n\nThis event is open to the public\, and we encourage all interested faculty\, graduate students\, and undergraduate students to attend.\n\nAdvance registration is recommended. \n\nRegister to attend on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_LrO1U6J_SrG1h5lh_l0Nxw\n\nMeet the Panelists:\n\nJenny L. Davis is the Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Chair and Professor of Sociology at Vanderbilt University with a secondary appointment in Vanderbilt's College of Connected Computing (CCC). She is an Honorary Professor of Sociology at The Australian National University\, an alumni affiliate at the Center for Democracy and Technology\, and Co-Director of Vanderbilt's Computing + Society program. She works at the intersection of social psychology and technology studies\, focusing on the ways social forces embed within and are affected by\, technological systems. Her first book\, How Artifacts Afford: The Power and Politics of Everyday Things (MIT Press 2020) presents an operational framework for the analysis and design of technologies in society. Her second book\, The Injustice of Fairness: Algorithmic Reparation and the Case for Redress shifts the foundation of algorithmic ethics\, challenging 'fairness' as the default value-standard (co-authored with Apryl Williams) (UC Press\, 2026).\n\nJulián Posada is an Assistant Professor of American Studies and co-director of the certificate in Computing\, Culture\, and Society at Yale University. His research examines the social and cultural dimensions of information\, especially the role of labor and infrastructure in the development of artificial intelligence. He is the author of Platform Extractivism: Data Work and The People Powering Artificial Intelligence (University of California Press\, 2026). This book argues that the development of datasets for artificial intelligence depends on labor organized through “platform extractivism\,” a system that exploits economic instability to capture value from precaritized workers. By reframing AI data work as a continuation of historical extractive relations\, the monograph intervenes in debates on the future of work and the hidden costs of AI and digital platforms. Posada’s interests include platform studies\, labor studies\, digital ethics and policy\, social computing\, and science and technology studies. \n\nApryl Williams is a jointly appointed Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication & Media and the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan. She is also a Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University\, a former Senior Fellow in Trustworthy AI at Mozilla\, as well as an affiliated researcher at NYU's Center for Critical Race & Digital Studies. She is the author of Not My Type: Automating Sexual Racism in Online Dating\, published with Stanford University Press. As a multidisciplinary scholar\, Williams studies experiences of gender and race at the intersection of digital spaces and algorithmic technocultures. \n\nRua M. Williams is an Assistant Professor in the School of Applied and Creative Computing at Purdue University and a former Just Tech Fellow with the Social Science Research Council. As Principal Investigator of the CoLiberation Lab\, Dr. Williams’s work explores how disabled people imagine and build their own sociotechnical worlds. Projects in the CoLiberation Lab investigate how technology policy and research practice interact to disrupt disabled people’s bodily autonomy and access to meaningful public life. Dr. Williams's book\, Disabling Intelligences: Legacies of Eugenics and How We Are Wrong about AI is forthcoming from Palgrave MacMillan.\n\nMeet the Moderator:\n\nCatherine Knight Steele is an Associate Professor of Communication at the University of Maryland - College Park where she directs the Black Communication and Technology lab (BCaT) as a part of the Digital Inquiry\, Speculation\, Collaboration\, & Optimism (DISCO) Network funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. She is a 2024-26 Just Tech Fellow. Her research focuses on race\, gender\, and media\, with a specific emphasis on Black culture and discourse and digital communication. She examines representations of marginalized communities in the media and how groups resist oppression and practice joy using online technology to create spaces of community. \n\nWe want to make our events accessible to all participants. CART captioning services will be provided. If you anticipate needing additional accommodations to participate\, please email Cherice Chan at chericec@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Presentation:John Jonides Lecture | Learning and memory in the infant brain
DESCRIPTION:Theories of human learning and memory rest almost entirely on adults and older children\, neglecting our most prolific period of learning in life: infancy. This gap reflects the challenge of studying the infant brain. Traditional infant methods like EEG and fNIRS are unable to resolve memory systems deep in the brain\, including the hippocampus. I will present our work adapting fMRI\, the gold standard for studying the mature human hippocampus noninvasively\, to awake infants and toddlers. Our studies begin to reveal how hippocampal functions for statistical learning and episodic memory develop over the first two years\, pointing toward a new account of the mysterious infantile amnesia that all humans come to experience.\n\nThe talk will be followed by a reception with light refreshments at Pizza House.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Three Martini Lunch: Literary Agents and the Making of American Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Chronicling the story of literary agents in the United States from the 1950s to today\, Laura McGrath uncovers their critical role in the making of American literature. From the famed three-martini lunch to the Frankfurt Book Fair\, *Middlemen* takes readers behind the scenes to show how agents influence what we read. Weaving together original archival research\, data analysis\, and interviews with scores of agents and other publishing professionals\, *Middlemen* demonstrates that agents—eighty percent of whom are in fact women—are much more than “middlemen.” As intermediaries between author and publisher\, agents act as advocates\, matchmakers\, negotiators\, and tastemakers\, and they must balance artistic values with the commercial imperatives of publishing conglomerates.\n\nLaura B. McGrath is writer\, literary historian\, and data scientist. She is an Assistant Professor of English at Temple University and a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow. Prior to joining the faculty at Temple\, she was the Associate Director of the Literary Lab at Stanford University. A former Kennedy Fellow with the Smithsonian Institute of American History\, her work has been supported by the NEH\, the Mellon Foundation\, ACLS\, and the Big Ten. \n\nLaura has written on books\, publishing history\, and data for *The Atlantic*\, *The Nation*\, the *Los Angeles Review of Books*\, and *Public Books*. Her book\, *Middlemen: Literary Agents and the Making of American Fiction* (Princeton University Press)\, draws on a range of methods- data analysis\, close reading\, literary ethnography- to reveal the literary agent's centrality in the development of American literature\, post-1945.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Spectral theory of soliton gases for integrable equations and related problems
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Soliton gases for integrable systems is a rapidly developing new area in the theory of nonlinear waves. The spectral theory of soliton gases is concerned about macroscopic characteristics of large soliton ensembles. We go briefly over the history of the subject\, such as V. Zakharov’s (1971) expression of the average velocity of a trial soliton in a (diluted) gas and the idea of the thermodynamic limit of wavenumbers and frequencies of finite gap solutions of G. El (2003). We then discuss some recent results and open problems\, as well as some methods of potential theory and algebraic geometry that appear to be relevant for soliton gases.\n\nContact:  Peter Miller

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Chow Vanishing and Motives of Cluster Varieties
DESCRIPTION:Progress over the last decade has shown that the cohomologies of full rank\, locally acyclic cluster varieties enjoy remarkable combinatorial structures. Crucial in this program has been the observation that these cohomology groups are\, in certain Hodge theoretic senses\, about as simple as possible. In this talk we will discuss a motivic lift of this observation. In particular we establish that the Voevodsky motives of really full rank sink-recurrent cluster varieties are mixed Tate and split over Q (strengthening results of Lam and Speyer)\, and we prove that their integral Chow groups are all trivial.
