SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Place as Method\, Theory\, and Responsibility: Rethinking Scientific Inquiry for Complex Social Issues
DESCRIPTION:The challenge: New data and approaches to study complexity in the social world has often been without a concurrent focus on the foundations of scientific inquiry\, including complex thinking\, broad causal thinking\, attention to epistemic lens\, and integrating multiple disciplinary approaches. Further\, the academic research model\, with its resource-segregated networks\, discipline-specific training\, and short-term productivity metrics\, contributes to a fragmented and potentially misleading understanding of the social world. In the second annual ISR Symposium on Complexity in the Social World\, we will use ‘place’ as the case study to facilitate discussions on rigorous social science in the public interest.Using research on place as the case study\, discussion topics will include:Complex thinking about the social worldThe contribution of the humanities the study of the social worldEpistemic lens and research transparencyTheories\, frameworks\, and the limits of traditional causal inferenceThe draw and danger of cool new dataAddressing the challenges of the academic model of sciencePresentations on the science of place will include:The relational nature of place in population social inequalitiesThe role of history in shaping placeThe racialization of place\; the spatialization of racePlace as a neutral and rational driver of social inequalitiesApproaches to testing (causal) ideas around place

Seats are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot. Login here (no pre-registration needed): https://myumi.ch/ZellWriters26\n\nJaswinder Bolina is an American poet and essayist whose work frequently explores the intersections of language\, race\, and the South Asian immigrant experience. Born in Chicago to Punjabi immigrant parents\, he earned a B.A. in Philosophy from Loyola University Chicago\, an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Michigan\, and a Ph.D. in English from Ohio University. Bolina currently resides in Florida\, where he serves as Chair of the Department of English and Creative Writing and teaches in the M.F.A. program at the University of Miami.\n\nOften blending personal narrative with politics and metaphysics\, Bolina’s poetry is noted for its investigation of the “perceptual and sonic ground” of modern life. He is the author of four full-length poetry collections\, including his debut *Carrier Wave* (2007)—adapted from his M.F.A. thesis at the University of Michigan— *Phantom Camera *(2013)\, and *The 44th of July* (2019). His most recent collection\, *English as a Second Language and Other Poems* (2023)\, which was awarded the 2025 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award from Claremont Graduate University\, continues his deep dive into cultural identity. Beyond poetry\, Bolina gained significant recognition for his 2020 essay collection\, *Of Color*\, which provides a poignant examination of racial perception and the complexities of the American dream.\n\nBolina’s writing has been recognized with numerous awards. His accolades include the Green Rose Prize for *Phantom Camera*\, the Colorado Prize for Poetry for *Carrier Wave*\, and a long-listing for the PEN America Open Book Award for *The 44th of July*.
