SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Hole Lot of Uncertainty: Probabilistic Evaluation of Archaeological Subsurface Survey
DESCRIPTION:In regions with low surface visibility\, archaeologists often turn to systematic subsurface testing for purposes of site location. While numerous factors impact both the effectiveness and efficiency of these prospection efforts\, “cookie-cutter” survey strategies are often employed without a thorough examination of their costs and benefits\, and the results of such surveys are subject to erroneous interpretation when factors like effectiveness and limits of detection are not taken into account. In this presentation\, we examine how a simulation-based approach that incorporates prior data can probabilistically determine the effectiveness and efficiency of different survey strategies. Beyond permitting the design of survey strategies that maximize the possibility of site detection and husband precious resources (time\, money)\, this method also permits the generation of post hoc correction factors that make possible the critical evaluation and direct comparison of previous survey results.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cash Plus Psychosocial Interventions for Economic Mobility
DESCRIPTION:Catherine Thomas is an assistant professor of psychology and of organizational studies at the University of Michigan. She integrates the insights of social psychology\, lens of cultural psychology\, and tools of behavioral science to examine and intervene upon psychosocial drivers of poverty and inequality in the U.S. and around the globe. In particular\, her work interrogates relationships among agency\, dignity\, and economic mobility. In this work\, she conducts lab and field experiments across diverse low-income contexts\, including in the U.S.\, sub-Saharan Africa\, and South Asia\, and often through interdisciplinary collaborations and partnerships with nonprofits and governments. Her work has been published in journals including Nature and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and in media outlets including Time and Foreign Affairs.\n\nThe Real-World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions speaker series is free and open to the public as well as being a one-credit course for U-M students (SW503). In-person talks include coffee\, cookies\, and the chance to ask the speakers questions\, or you can watch the livestream on YouTube.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Did an Asteroid Really Kill the Dinosaurs?
DESCRIPTION:Did a space rock six miles wide slam into the Earth 66 million years ago and wipe out 75 percent of all living species at that time\, including the dinosaurs? Cosmic collisions are abundant in our solar system. See the numerous craters on worlds like the moon\, Mars\, and even distant Pluto.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Childhood\, Gendered Affinities\, and Structures of Power
DESCRIPTION:**Note: The location of this workshop has changed to the Michigan Room in the Michigan League.\n\nIn the face of global democratic backsliding\, feminist demands have gained renewed visibility even as patriarchal\, racial\, and class-based violence and exclusion have become increasingly normalized across regional\, national\, and local boundaries. In this context\, childhood\, and girlhood in particular\, has emerged as a matter of political\, moral\, and ideological contestation. Situating these contemporary struggles within a broader historical perspective\, however\, reveals that gendered childhood\, as a concept and social project\, has long served as a site onto which collective fears\, social aspirations\, and competing visions of citizenship and belonging are projected. Indeed\, Marcia Chatelain's work has shown that\, during the Great Migration\, Black girlhood in Chicago’s South Side represented a potential path to social mobility\, even as it was undermined by indiscriminate lynchings\, labor demands in an expanding commercial market\, a punitive judicial system\, and sexual victimization. This scholarship raises important historical and methodological questions\, such as: Who is afforded the innocence and vulnerability of childhood? In what ways have race\, gender\, and class together impacted public discourses regarding what it means to be a “good citizen”? How have crises around racialized\, gendered\, and classed identity inspired unexpected historical affinities and collaborations? How might historians navigate (and overcome) gaps and silences in the traditional archive\, which have effectively erased the perspectives of racialized and working-class children?\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
