SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Institute for the Humanities:  Alumni Career Panel
DESCRIPTION:\"Presented by the Institute for the Humanities\, Rackham Graduate School\, and the University Career Center\, this series of events is intended to support humanities graduate students from across fields in exploring and preparing for the diverse career paths available to them. Students may attend events individually\, but may find it especially helpful to attend each in progression.\n\nAbout this event:\nFor humanists interestedin pursuing diverse career pathways beyond tenure-track roles\, the options can sometimes feel overwhelming and abstract. During this session\, a panel of alumni from U-M humanities departments working in diverse industries will provide concrete details about their day-to-day work and the career journeys that led them there. Panelists include: Jill Jividen\, Senior Director of Research Development at the University of Michigan\; Michelle-May Curry\, Curator at the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities\; andJamie Hart\, Executive Director at the Coalition to Expand Contraceptive Access. The goal is to provide examples of the varied pathways and types of work humanists pursue after graduating with a Ph.D.\n\nStudents should come prepared with questions for the panelists\, as there will be plenty oftime to steer the conversation in directions that are most meaningful forthe group.\n\"

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series: Psychological Diversity across the Globe (Catherine Thomas)
DESCRIPTION:Culturally Wise Interventions and Their Effects on Psychosocial and Economic Well-Being\n\nPeople are enculturated actors\, shaped by their sociocultural and socioecological contexts. A vast empirical literature has documented that\, in Global North contexts that afford greater choice and material abundance\, selves are more independent–prioritizing personal interests and autonomy in their preferences and behavior. However\, the social psychological literature suffers from glaring gaps in low resource Global South contexts where selves are likely higher in interdependence–prioritizing relationships\, roles and obligations in their preferences and behavior (Thomas & Markus\, 2023). An agenda on ‘culturally wise’ interventions seeks to fill this gap by experimentally comparing different culturally grounded approaches across diverse sociocultural contexts. Building on theoretical principles of wise interventions (Walton & Wilson\, 2018) and culture match (Stephens et al.\, 2012)\, culturally wise interventions are attuned to how culturally specific models of self\, motivation\, and relationality can exert powerful effects on meaning making and behavior. Through experimental evaluations of such intervention approaches in understudied contexts\, this research agenda seeks to advance a more comprehensive account of human behavior as well as strategies for promoting psychosocial and economic well-being around the globe. This talk will focus on how culturally wise approaches in sub-Saharan Africa can be leveraged to mitigate poverty and inequality. \n\nCatherine Thomas of the Research Center for Group Dynamics and the University of Michigan\, co-organizer of the Group Dynamics Fall 2023 Seminar Series with Shinobu Kitayama\, closes the series.\n\nGroup Dynamics Fall 2023 Seminar Series: Psychological Diversity across the Globe\nDo our cultural contexts influence our psychology and behavior — and if so\, how? In this RCGD series\, we delve into the socio-ecological\, histo-cultural\, and economic dynamics shaping the diversity of selfhood and its associated cognitive\, emotional\, and motivational processes. We go beyond the traditional East and West focus to include a wide range of cultural groups. This series will elucidate the implications of psychological diversity across the globe for policies in international relations\, politics\, economics\, business\, immigration\, and other relevant domains.\n\n\nOrganized by Shinobu Kitayama and Catherine Thomas\nAs permissions allow\, seminars from this series are later posted to ISR's YouTube playlist.\n\n\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\nThe series runs Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\n\n\nAbout the Group Dynamics Seminar Series\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent seminars have included discussions in “Law and Psychology\,” “Racism and Discrimination\,” “Social Media\,” and “Political Polarization.” The series is offered by the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD)\, at the Institute for Social Research.
