SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Moving Beyond Professional Identity to Access the Hidden\, Human Experiences of Engineering
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar\, Dr. Huff will illustrate the Beyond Professional Identity (BPI) lab's active engineering education research that aims to transform cultures of engineering to be compassionate toward humanity. By establishing theoretical and methodological ways to access psychological phenomena that are often hidden in professional domains\, we can change the ways that engineering faculty\, students\, and professionals inter-personally relate to those within and outside engineering by altering the ways that they intra-personally understand who they are—their identities—in the context of their professions. In this seminar\, Dr. Huff discusses four strands of research that support this career mission: 1) quality in interpretive research\, 2) personal identity in professional settings\, 3) professional shame in engineering\, and 4) academic well-being in engineering faculty. He will demonstrate how activity in these four strands of research coalesce to create a clarified vision of how engineers could emanate and experience care in the context of their professions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Long-run Effects of Transportation Productivity on the US Economy
DESCRIPTION:We quantify the aggregate\, regional and sectoral impacts of transportation productivity growth on the US economy over the period 1947-2017. Using a multi-region\, multi-sector model that explicitly captures produced transportation services as a key input to interregional trade\, we find that the calibrated change in transportation productivity had a sizable impact on aggregate welfare\, magnified by a factor of 2.3 compared to its sectoral share in GDP. The amplification mechanism results from the complementarity between transport services and tradable goods\, interacting with sectoral and spatial linkages. The geographical implications are highly uneven\, with the West and Southwest benefiting the most from market access improvements while the Northeast experiences a decline. Sectoral impacts are largest in transportation-intensive activities like agriculture\, mining and heavy manufacturing. Our results demonstrate the outsized and heterogeneous impact of the transportation sector in shaping US economic activity through specialization and spatial transformation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bloody Work: Lexington and Concord 1775
DESCRIPTION:The William L. Clements Library is pleased to announce a forthcoming exhibition in recognition of the 250th Anniversary of the military hostilities that began the American Revolutionary War. The Battles of Lexington and Concord are firmly established in American memory as the culmination of a range of governmental\, political\, economic\, and social tensions that amplified in the decade leading up to 1775. In this exhibit\, visitors will have the opportunity to see original historical manuscript letters\, documents\, newspapers\, and artwork that reveal aspects of the bloody work of Empire and individual alike in April 1775.\n\nAmong the items on display will be Commander in Chief of the British Army\, General Thomas Gage's draft orders for the Concord Expedition\, April 18\, 1775\; a bundle of letters collected by former Sons of Liberty supporter Dr. Benjamin Church\, which he secretly turned over to British Army intelligence\; letters by Silas Deane\, John Hancock\, and Rachel Revere\; and much more.\n\nOpen weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Matsumoto Toshio and the Antifascist Avant-Garde
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 1010 Weiser Hall and virtually via Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. \n\nRegister for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/5y2k8.\n   \n   This talk analyzes the film and philosophy of Matsumoto Toshio\, an avant-garde documentary filmmaker best known for the queer\, kaleidoscopic *Funeral Parade of Roses* (1969) and a series of \"neo-documentary\" films from the early-mid 1960s. Specifically\, it looks at his work through the overarching lens of antifascism. I argue that his writings describe avant-garde documentary as a privileged art form\, uniquely capable of battling against everyday fascist ideology – both fascism in the streets and in our mindset and everyday behavior.\n   \n   Julia Alekseyeva is an assistant professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania and holds a secondary affiliation with cinema and media studies. Her first academic book\, *Antifascism and the Avant-Garde: Radical Documentary in the 1960s* (UC Press\, Feb. 2025)\, builds off of long-standing work analyzing the interaction between radical media and leftist politics\, especially in Japan\, France\, and the Soviet Union. In addition to her academic work\, she is also a practicing cartoonist and author-illustrator of the award-winning graphic memoir *Soviet Daughter: A Graphic Revolution* (Microcosm\, 2017).\n   \n   *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Performance:Eric Whitmer & Joe Antrim\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Musicology PhD student Eric Whitmer & Joe Antrim perform on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower.

Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.
