SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Challenging the Gender Equality Paradox: Evidence from 50 States\,  17 Years\, and 21 Million Individuals
DESCRIPTION:How does societal gender equality influence gender gaps at the individual level? Contradictory theoretical  perspectives exist on this seemingly intuitive question. While social role theory and the theory of  circumscription and compromise suggest that greater parity in society leads to smaller psychological  differences between genders\, gender-essentialist perspectives suggest the opposite. Over the last decade\, a  stream of cross-cultural studies supported the latter with paradoxical findings that greater societal gender  equality is associated with larger\, not smaller\, gender differences in preferences\, attitudes\, and behavioral  patterns at the individual level. In this talk\, I discuss key limitations in previous studies and challenge the  so-called “gender equality paradox” by presenting findings from multilevel modeling with data on the  career interests of 21 million U.S. individuals across 50 states over a 17-year time span. I demonstrate  divergence in the cross-level effects at the within- and between-state levels\, with different gender equality  indicators\, and across various interest dimensions. This work helps reconcile conflicting theories and  empirical findings and offer new and more nuanced insights into policies and interventions aiming at closing gender gaps.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Workshop on Comparative Politics & The Social Sciences
DESCRIPTION:The Interdisciplinary Workshop in Comparative Politics & The Social Sciences (IWCP) provides a platform for sharing and improving research projects that use the comparative method to study the causes and effects of social\, political and economic processes. We specifically welcome presenters\, discussants\, and participants from other social science fields to share their work with us. We have participants from Economics\, the Ford School of Public Policy\, the Law School\, the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Mathematics\, Political Science\, the Ross School of Business\, Sociology\, Statistics\, and the Center for Emerging Democracies\, and others. In other words: All are welcome.

SUMMARY:Other:Disc-Oh No! Flood on the Dance Floor
DESCRIPTION:You’re at a nightclub to see campy queen supreme Portia Lynn perform when\, suddenly\, news spreads of a flash flood. You’re safe\, but you don’t know how long you’ll be trapped at the disco. You and your fellow clubgoers band together to figure out how to survive using only the resources available at the club. Part escape room and part immersive theater\, you will engage in a series of campy\, art-forward challenges to build resilience and relationships for an uncertain climate future.\n\nEach seating has 30-40 people\, who will work in small teams. Written / directed / produced by the Sustainability Cultural Organizers and featuring refreshments and a performance by Portia Lynn.\n\nSponsored by Student Life Sustainability and Planet Blue Ambassador\, with support from the Arts Initiative and MDining.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:T.REX
DESCRIPTION:With stunning CGI visuals and the latest research from leading paleontologists\, the film offers audiences a fresh perspective on the GOAT (Greatest Of All Tyrants): Tyrannosaurus rex. Anchored by the true story of the young fossil hunters who made the discovery of a lifetime when they spotted a large fossilized leg bone on a walk on public lands in North Dakota\, T. REX intercuts the remarkable fossil dig\, with cutting edge computer graphics that bring the iconic T. rex to life—from hatchling to hulking adult. Narrated by Jurassic Park actor Sam Neill\, T. REX explores the newest science that has helped reinvent our understanding of the iconic predator.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Representation stability via Young symmetrizers and a new ribbon basis for the rank-selected homology of the partition lattice (Combinatorics seminar)
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we will begin with a quick review of group actions on posets\, rank-selected homology of posets\, representation stability\, and a nice way of interpreting the rank-selected homology of the Boolean lattice as a Specht module of ribbon shape.  This interpretation allows us to prove a sharp representation stability bound for the rank-selected homology of the Boolean lattice.  We then describe a new ​ribbon basis for the rank-selected homology of any geometric lattice.  In the case of the partition lattice\, this ribbon basis interacts with Young symmetrizers in much the way a traditional Specht module would.   Using this basis\, we prove a sharp representation stability bound for the rank-selected homology of the partititon lattice\, a bound that had  previously been conjectured by the speaker and Vic Reiner.   This is joint work with Sheila Sundaram.
