SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Spin Centennial: Celebrating 100 Years of Spin at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:One hundred years ago\, in 1925\, to explain puzzles in the observed spectra of atoms\, George Uhlenbeck and Samuel Goudsmit postulated the existence of a new intrinsic property of the electron\, which came to be known as spin. In 1926\, Uhlenbeck and Goudsmit began long illustrious careers at the University of Michigan Physics Department. The physics department at the University of Michigan\, and others around the world\, have continued to harness this revolutionary concept to advance science and technology across many fronts\, from fundamental science to medical imaging to quantum information.\n\nThroughout the 2025 Fall term\, a series of seminars\, colloquia\, and special events will be part of this celebration.\n\nColloquium 1:30-2:30 pm\nStringently Testing the Standard Model via Direct Encounters with a Single Electron’s Spin\nGerald Gabrielse\, Board of Trustees Professor in Physics/Director of CFP (Northwestern University)\n\nSpin Centennial 3:00-5:00 pm\nTalks for the general public on the history of spin\, fundamental physics\, and the applications of spin\, which impact everyone’s life every day and into the future\, with Introductory remarks by Dean Rosario Ceballo\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts (LSA)\n\nSpeakers from the U-M Department of Physics\nChristine Aidala\, Professor\nAaron Pierce\, Professor\nVanessa Sih\, Professor\nShankari Rajagopal\, Professor

SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Celebrate Indigenous Video Games
DESCRIPTION:Play and learn from these video games to recognize Native American Heritage Month!\n\nNEVER ALONE (Kisima Inŋitchuŋa in the Iñupiaq language) was created about a decade ago by the Cook Inlet Tribal Council\, Inc.\, a tribal non-profit organization in Anchorage\, Alaska. The community noticed that tribal elders’ knowledge was not being passed to youth as traditions and ways of life\, from caribou hunting to the blanket toss\, weren’t continued. The CITC were seeking a way to connect with their youth and engage them using the tools of modernity. Their chosen medium: video games.\n\nWHEN RIVERS WERE TRAILS is a 2D adventure game in much the same style as Oregon Trails. In 2018 the Indian Land Tenure Foundation commissioned 20 Indigenous storytellers\, as well as Native musicians and artist Elizabeth LaPensée\, to create When Rivers Were Trails. This game\, which is free for anyone to download\, was created to educate Americans on the history of federal allotment policies. It was created by Native people for Native and non-Native people alike\, and we hope you come join us in playing!\n\nEach November our campus celebrates the histories\, cultures and contributions of Indigenous Americans\, and at U-M Library we offer access to a wide range of Indigenous-created works. Video games are accessible through our Computer and Video Game Archive.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Colloquium Series. The Storied Gulf: Storytelling\, Migration\, and Masculinities
DESCRIPTION:The injustices of the Gulf visa sponsorship system and the harsh aspects of migrant life there are well documented. And yet\, the heavy influx of migrant labor from particular regions in South Asia to the Gulf states remains unabated. This leads to the question: If things are so bad\, then why do migrants keep coming? Some scholars have answered this question by putting forth an argument that migrants paint a rosy picture of Gulf life in their home cities\, and\, in so doing\, funnel their compatriots into exploitative labor arrangements abroad. Do migrants not tell stories of hardship in home cities? If they do\, why do those stories not dissuade aspiring migrants? I contend that centering prospective emigrant as discerning listeners helps us understand both the nuanced motivations for migration and why returnees tell the kinds of stories they do. I attend to the circulatory contexts of migrants’ Gulf stories in a small city in Pakistan\, and the gendered repertoire of characterological figures through which listeners evaluate them. Decades of circulation of men from this Pakistani city to the Gulf and back has produced going through the storied trials of Gulf life as a rite of passage to the status of adult manhood and masculine respectability. The storytelling about Gulf life in Pakistan is thereby structured by a masculinist discourse with the following idea at its core: since Gulf work is harsh\, only hard men are suited for it. This Gulf gauntlet subsumes stories of hardship within its own lore. The harder the rite\, the higher mettled the passenger.\n   \n   Salman Adil Hussain is a historical anthropologist of Indian Ocean mobilities\, and South Asian diasporas. His research specializations include borders and belonging\, masculinity\, transnational labor\, migrant racialization\, autoethnography\, storytelling\, humor\, and kinship. His dissertation\, Migrants at Home: Gulf Migrations\, Masculinities\, and the Politics of Return in Pakistan\, is the first monograph on Pakistani migrations to the Gulf in the past 30 years. It studies how masculinity structures key processes of migrations: migration brokerage\, sociality\, self-fashioning\, and return mobilities. His next project explores the racialization and surveillance of migrants—South Asians in the Gulf and U.S. Muslims—in a comparative framework.\n\nRSVP: https://myumi.ch/w9QNx\n\n   Co-sponsor:   GISC\n   \n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Michigan Model of Leadership for Student Life Staff
DESCRIPTION:The Division of Student Life has invested heavily in bringing adaptive leadership training to our staff via the Michigan Model of Leadership. Many staff were exposed to this model over the years. We will continue to ground our collective work in this model. If you have not yet attended a session\, or are a new staff member to Student Life\, we invite you to join us and learn about the model and your leadership style.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gendered Spheres of Learning and Household Decision-Making over Fertility
DESCRIPTION:While men and women make joint decisions about fertility\, women give birth and are more likely to learn about a significant cost of childbearing—maternal health risk. Within couples in Zambia\, men have systematically lower awareness of maternal risk factors and higher desire for children than their wives. We develop a model in which information asymmetries between partners over maternal health risk can persist in equilibrium as the result of strategic incentives and can generate disagreement over fertility that cannot be resolved with transfers. To study the effect of communication barriers on fertility\, we design an experiment that varies whether the husband or the wife receives information about maternal health risk. One year after the intervention\, men told about such risk exhibit significant gains in knowledge\, report lower demand for children\, and communicate this information to their wives\, who also update their beliefs. Pregnancy falls significantly\, while transfers remain unchanged relative to the control group. Meanwhile\, when women are told about risk\, they update their beliefs\, but are unable to transmit the information to their husbands\, who do not change their demand for children. While pregnancy also falls among these couples\, the decline is accompanied by a significant reduction in transfers and support to the wife. When childbearing costs\, particularly those borne by one party\, cannot be easily communicated within the household\, targeting information can help overcome asymmetries and improve household decision-making.
