SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:From Digital Humanities to AI Humanities? Ethics\, Algorithms\, and History
DESCRIPTION:Building on the arguments in his recent book\, Ethics of the Algorithm: Digital Humanities and Holocaust Memory (2024)\, this talk focuses on the challenges and possibilities of using computational methods to interpret the legacies of historical violence and archives of testimonial witnessing. Moving between ‘digital humanities’ and ‘AI humanities\,’ Presner explores the meaning-making processes of algorithms and interrogates the decision-making mechanisms of Large Language Models for the study of history and memory.\n\nTodd Presner is Chair of UCLA’s Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies and serves as Special Advisor to Vice Chancellor Roger Wakimoto in the Office for Research and Creative Activities (2018-present). Previously\, he was the chair of UCLA’s Digital Humanities Program (2011-21)\, and from 2011-2018\, he served as the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Director of the Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies. From 2018-21\, he was Associate Dean of Digital Innovation. He holds the Michael and Irene Ross Chair in the UCLA Division of the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Automatic convergence for modular forms
DESCRIPTION:Quaternionic modular forms (QMFs) are a type of non-holomorphic automorphic function that exist on certain forms of the exceptional groups\, and on orthogonal groups SO(4\,n) with n at least 3.  They have a robust notion of Fourier coefficients\, defined in an analytic way.  Using the Fourier coefficients\, I will give an algebraic characterization of the cuspidal quaternionic modular forms (on F_4\, E_6\, E_7\, E_8) in terms of holomorphic modular forms on smaller rank groups.  That is\, I will explain how cuspidal QMFs on these exceptional groups can be reconstructed from holomorphic modular forms on groups of type SO(2\,n) and SL_2 in an algebraic way.  As a consequence\, I deduce that the cuspidal QMFs on F_4\, E_6\, E_7\, and E_8 have a basis where every element of this basis has all Fourier coefficients being algebraic numbers.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Global Working Hours (joint with Emmanuel Saez)
DESCRIPTION:This paper uses labor force surveys from 160 countries to build a new microdatabase on hours worked covering 97% of the world population in cross section. We also construct time series spanning over 20 years in 86 countries. Hours worked per adult are slightly bell-shaped with GDP per capita but weakly correlated with development overall. Hours worked by the young (aged 15-19) and elderly (aged 60+) decline with development\, driven by growing school attendance and public pension coverage. Hours worked among prime-age adults (aged 20-59) are mildly bell-shaped with development for men while they are increasing for women. The fall in male hours in middle-to-higher income countries is driven by reduced hours per worker and is offset by increases in female labor force participation. These two forces have exactly compensated each other in many countries\, leading to a remarkable long-run stability of prime-age hours worked. Labor taxes are strongly negatively correlated with prime-age hours worked both in international comparisons and overtime within countries. Controlling for government transfers only partly reduces the link between labor taxes and prime-age hours\, ruling out substitution and income effects on labor supply as the only driver. Controlling for working hours regulations and the size of the formal sector eliminates this link\, suggesting that regulations also play a large role in reducing intensive hours in higher-income countries.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Combinatorics Seminar: Plabic Fences and clusters on double Bott-Samelson varieties
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will introduce the double Bott-Samelson varieties\, whose cluster structures have been studied by Shen-Weng. In their work\, they computed these cluster variables as principal minors of certain matrices coming from pairs of decorated flags. We will give a combinatorial approach to computing these cluster variables\, via a matching construction on plabic fences which generalizes the Muller-Speyer's minimal matching construction of twisted Plücker coordinates on open positroid varieties. This is a joint work with João Pedro Carvalho.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Disability and the Return of Eugenics and the Poor Law
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the 20th Century and the first quarter of the 21st\, U.S. disability policy increasingly pursued the goals of equality\, inclusion\, integration\, and empowerment for people with disabilities.  Moving away from the eugenic principles that dominated the first part of this period\, policy increasingly treated disability as something to be accommodated rather than eliminated\, and disabled people as folks who should be supported to live full lives in the community.  \n\nBut recent events -- punitive responses to mental illness and homelessness at the state and federal levels\, the dramatic retrenchment of Medicaid and other support programs during the past few months\, and others -- threaten to return us to the world of the Eugenics Era and the English Poor Laws before that\, in which disability is treated as a drain on society and those with disabilities are to be highly regulated.  \n\nThis lecture will elaborate on these points.\n\nSince 2018\, Hal and Carol Kohn and the Kohn Charitable Trust have committed a total of $17 million to the Ford School to establish the Kohn Collaborative for Social Policy\, a hub that will catalyze interdisciplinary research and policy impact to promote social equity and inclusion for all U.S. residents. The collaborative consists of three pillars: Kohn Professors\, Kohn Scholars\, and policy impact. The Arlene Susan Kohn Professor of Social Policy is one of five Kohn professorships\, specifically to support research that contributes to policies advancing the rights of disabled individuals in the United States. It was named in honor of Hal’s twin sister\, born with Down syndrome\, who passed away in 2016.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\nSamuel Bagenstos is the Arlene Susan Kohn Professor of Social Policy.  at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy and Frank G. Millard Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School.\n\nFrom June 2022 to December 2024\, he served as General Counsel to the Department of Health and Human Services.  He played a key role in advancing and implementing policies across the Department\, including pursuing several initiatives on abortion and reproductive rights\; crafting and defending the first-ever Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program\; drafting and issuing major rules on civil rights\, health privacy\, Medicare and Medicaid\, drug advertising\, the regulation of \"lab-developed\" medical tests and of food safety\, the treatment of unaccompanied migrant children in HHS care\, the treatment of LGBT kids in the foster care system\, and many other issues\; advancing marijuana rescheduling\; advising and defending the Food and Drug Administration's tobacco enforcement program\; and working with the Department of Justice on litigation involving HHS\, including significant abortion rights\, free speech\, and tobacco regulation cases in the Supreme Court.\n\nFrom Inauguration Day 2021 to June 2022\, he served as General Counsel to the Office of Management and Budget.  There\, he worked on President Biden's Day One executive orders\; helped respond to COVID\, including implementing several crucial aid programs\; responded to regulations adopted by the prior administration just before the inauguration and helped advance the new administration's regulations on labor\, health\, the environment\, and much else\; helped craft and implement the American Rescue Plan\, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law\, and what became the Inflation Reduction Act\; and assisted in developing two annual budgets\, along with advising the entire Executive Branch on issues of appropriations law and administrative law.\n\nIn an earlier stint on leave from the University\, from 2009 to 2011\, Bagenstos was an appointee in the US Department of Justice\, where he served as the principal deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights\, the number two official in the Civil Rights Division.  There\, he helped promulgate the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations—the first comprehensive update of those regulations since they were first issued in 1991—and led the reinvigoration of the Civil Rights Division’s enforcement of the US Supreme Court’s decision in Olmstead v. L.C.\, which guarantees people with disabilities the right to live and receive services in the most integrated setting appropriate. He led the negotiations of significant Olmstead settlements with the states of Delaware and Georgia\, which guarantee appropriate\, community-based services to thousands of people with disabilities. He also personally argued major cases in federal district courts and courts of appeals.\n\nAs an academic\, Bagenstos has published articles in journals such as the Yale Law Journal\, the Stanford Law Review\, the Columbia Law Review\, the California Law Review\, the Virginia Law Review\, the Cornell Law Review\, the Georgetown Law Journal\, and many others. He also has published two books: Law and the Contradictions of the Disability Rights Movement (Yale University Press\, 2009) and Disability Rights Law: Cases and Materials (Foundation Press\, originally published in 2010 but now working on the fourth edition)\, and he has written articles for nonacademic audiences in publications such as Democracy: A Journal of Ideas\, The American Prospect\, The Washington Monthly\, Slate\, and The New Republic.\n\nBagenstos is actively involved in public and community affairs\, both in Ann Arbor and statewide. Pursuant to an appointment by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer\, he served as chair of the Michigan Employment Relations Commission\, the state agency that enforces the rights of public employees to unionize and collectively bargain. Pursuant to an appointment by Mayor Christopher Taylor\, he served as a member of the Ann Arbor Housing Commission. He has also been a frequent cooperating attorney with the ACLU of Michigan.
