SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Other:ELO | Ginsberg Center Exiting Communities Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Ginsberg Center Exiting Communities Workshop\n11:30am - 1pm | January 28\, 2025 | UMSI Engagement Center \n\nThe Ginsberg Center is partnering with the UMSI Engaged Learning Office (ELO) to hold a workshop for UMSI students. All UMSI students involved in client and community-based projects\, user research\, information analytics and data-focused work are encouraged to attend. Students seeking ELO funding for projects this term should especially attend.\n\n\nIn this interactive session\, students will explore what it means to engage with and eventually exit a project sustainably\; discuss the outputs\, outcomes\, and impacts of their project\; identify important questions to ask their community partners in preparation for exiting a project\; and discuss and work on their exit plan. This workshop will be targeted toward the needs of UMSI students. \n\n\nThis workshop is a Ginsberg Center Learning in Community (LinC) event. LinC addresses issues and focus areas including social justice\, ethical community engagement\, democratic engagement\, and more. An important goal of community-engaged learning experiences is for students to have a positive\, humanizing\, and sustainable impact on the communities they work with. \n\n\nLunch will be provided for registrants.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Research Talk: Cognitive Mechanisms of Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: To understand and navigate our world\, both individuals and scientific communities create simplifying representations\, such as concepts and theories. How do we construct useful representations from our experiences\, and how do we use these representations to guide our learning? In this talk\, I discuss empirical research on the mechanisms of human concept learning\, highlighting the ease with which we adopt new\, even arbitrary\, conceptualizations. I illustrate how these acquired concepts instantly shape how we perceive and explore the world. For example\, I show that our perception of objects becomes biased by our conceptual needs and our knowledge about these objects. I demonstrate that similar mechanisms are at play when scientific conceptualizations\, such as the DSM in psychology and the periodic table in chemistry\, guide scientific exploration. Then\, I discuss the double-edged nature of theory-guided discovery—although conceptualizations can efficiently steer us towards new experiences that further refine our knowledge\, they can also lead our exploration astray. I present a computational model of scientific discovery in which agents conduct experiments\, build theories\, and share results to advance collective understanding of the world. The model reveals that when new experiments are guided by existing theoretical frameworks\, scientific communities risk missing important aspects of the world not yet captured by their theories. I conclude by reviewing my current and future research that integrates cognitive psychology\, machine learning\, and philosophy of science to enhance our understanding of how theories and observations can inform each other to support—rather than hinder—human learning and scientific progress.
