SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Interventions in a Responsive Survey Design Framework
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1948\, the Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques is designed specifically to meet the needs of professionals and graduate students seeking to deepen their expertise in survey methodology and data collection. Offered through the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science within the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan\, the program provides a rigorous and flexible curriculum that blends theoretical foundations with practical application — entirely online. \n\nClasses are open for registration.\nYou do not have to be affiliated with the University to attend. \nRegistration and payment are required a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of the class. \n\nJuly 7 and 9\, 2026 (T/Th)\n9:00am-1:00pm\nInterventions in a Responsive Survey Design Framework\nPresented by Brady T. West\nCourse Fee: $600\n\nThis course focuses on the implementation of potential interventions within a responsive survey design (RSD) framework. Many of these interventions have been tested experimentally\, and the course will examine evaluations of those experiments to highlight their effectiveness. Emphasis will be placed on the role of experimental evaluation in the early early stages of RSD. This course will also cover practical methods for implementing interventions\, including the design and execution of experiments to assess new approaches. In addition\, strategies for applying these interventions in both interviewer-mediated and self-administered surveys (e.g.\, web and mail) will be discussed.\n\nBrady T. West is a Research Professor in the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science\, located within the Survey Research Center at the Institute for Social Research on the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (U-M) campus. He earned his PhD from the Michigan Program in Survey Methodology in 2011. Before that\, he received an MA in Applied Statistics from the U-M Statistics Department in 2002\, being recognized as an Outstanding First-year Applied Masters student\, and a BS in Statistics with Highest Honors and Highest Distinction from the U-M Statistics Department in 2001. His current research interests include the implications of measurement error in auxiliary variables and survey paradata for survey estimation\, selection bias in surveys\, adaptive and responsive survey design\, interviewer effects\, and multilevel regression models for clustered and longitudinal data. He is the lead author of a book comparing different statistical software packages in terms of their mixed-effects modeling procedures (Linear Mixed Models: A Practical Guide using Statistical Software\, Third Edition\, Chapman Hall/CRC Press\, 2022)\, and he is a co-author of a second book entitled Applied Survey Data Analysis (with Steven Heeringa and Pat Berglund)\, the second edition of which was published by Chapman Hill in June 2017.  He was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2022.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Melissa Jones Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Jones works across multiple mediums\, consistently centering the human figure\, texture\, and elements of the natural world—such as weathered surfaces\, bones\, and rust. These recurring interests create a unifying thread throughout her work\, regardless of medium.\nShe creates in both two and three dimensions\, including sculpture\, painting\, and assemblage. Oil painting is her preferred medium\, allowing her to work slowly in layered processes and achieve a wide range of nuanced effects.\n\nJones’ work is primarily figurative\, often narrative and autobiographical—though not strictly self-portraiture. Her figures are intended to evoke emotional responses that are less commonly found in landscape or other painting genres. She draws inspiration from the visual poetry of the human form\, finding beauty in subtle details: the turn of a wrist\, the curve of a spine\, or the shadow along a collarbone. She is captivated by how light illuminates the skin and how shadow defines form\, embracing the challenge of capturing this complexity in paint. Beyond physical representation\, her work also explores psychological dimensions\, aiming to convey mood and emotional depth.\n\nHer technique\, in both painting and sculpture\, is highly detailed\, realistic\, and developed gradually over time through layered processes. At times\, her work enters the realm of magical realism. While deeply personal\, her narratives remain intentionally ambiguous\, inviting viewers to interpret the imagery through their own perspectives and experiences.\n\nBorn and raised in Detroit\, Jones studied at Wayne State University\, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Art Education and a Master’s degree in Art Therapy. She previously worked as an art educator in the West Bloomfield School District and has exhibited professionally throughout the Detroit area since 2006\, receiving numerous awards. In addition\, she served as a board member and exhibition committee member for the Detroit Artists Market.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Resistance is Fertile: Celebrating 30 Years of Cultivating Change
DESCRIPTION:Resistance Is Fertile honors the founding moment of the Institute for Research on Women & Gender\, while speaking to the present. The institute was established because faculty members believed that research on women\, gender\, and sexuality required an institutional commitment to thrive. That belief was itself a form of resistance—to disciplinary silos\, to marginalization\, to the idea that such scholarship was peripheral.\n\nThis theme reminds us that resistance is not merely reactive\; it is constructive. When rooted in collaboration and sustained through infrastructure\, it produces knowledge that reshapes disciplines\, institutions\, and public life.\n\nThis exhibit celebrates 30 years of IRWG—its history\, its programs\, and the people whose vision and labor built it into what it is today. Through archival materials\, milestones\, and stories\, we trace the evolution of an institute that has continually expanded the boundaries of research in women\, gender\, and sexuality.\n\nThis exhibit centers growth\, collaboration\, and intellectual creativity—honoring the sustained efforts\, bold ideas\, and collective care that have shaped IRWG’s legacy and continue to guide its future.\n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.
