SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The DAAS Zora Neale Hurston Lecture of the Humanities with Edda Fields-Black (Carnegie Mellon)
DESCRIPTION:Edda L. Fields-Black is an American historian who is Professor of History and Director of the Dietrich College Humanities Center at Carnegie Mellon University. She won the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in History for her book COMBEE: Harriet Tubman\, the Combahee River Raid\, and Black Freedom during the Civil War. \n\nSummary\nHarriet Tubman's legendary life is widely known: escaping enslavement\, leading others to freedom via the Underground Railroad\, and tirelessly fighting for change. But a crucial chapter often overlooked is her daring Civil War service as a spy for the US Army\, detailed in Dr. Edda L.Fields-Black's groundbreaking book\, COMBEE: Harriet Tubman\, the Combahee River Raid\, and Black Freedom during the Civil War\, which won the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in History and the 2025Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize. A direct descendant of a soldier who fought in the raid\, Fields-Black unveils Tubman's command of spies\, scouts\, and pilots and intelligence gathering among freedom seekers\, which led to a raid that liberated 756 enslaved people from bondage on seven rice plantations. It was the largest slave rebellion in US history. Through unexamined documents\, she brings to life the Combahee River Raid and the untold stories of those freed\, their resilience\, and the lasting impact of Tubman's heroism.\nReception to follow

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:This Time *Is* Different: The Challenges—Old and New—of AI in Education
DESCRIPTION:The world's best artificial intelligence systems already exceed us in some ways\, and seem poised to surpass us cognitively in every way. Some argue that we are entering a singularity -- a moment when old rules are obsolete\; and new ones\, impossible to predict. Given that\, is there anything at all we can glean about the future of AI and learning? In this talk\, I will present a few things we know as a basis for conjecture and make some guesses based on three decades of work in technical AI\, societal impacts of digital technology\, and faculty governance at a large public university wrestling with this polarizing technology.\n\nKentaro Toyama is W. K. Kellogg Professor of Community Information at the University of Michigan School of Information\, where he researches digital technology's impact on society\, especially on its marginalized communities. Previously\, Kentaro taught at Ashesi University in Ghana and co-founded Microsoft Research India\, where he did research on the applications of digital technology to education and international socio-economic development. He is a fellow of the Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values at MIT\; author of Geek Heresy: Rescuing Social Change from the Cult of Technology\; and UM Faculty Senate Chair for AY 2026-27.\n\nThis event is presented by the GenAI and Human Learning Working Group at the Eileen Lappin Weiser Center for the Learning Sciences.\n\nBuilding Access: A valid Mcard is required to access the School of Education Building.\n\nContact LappinWeiserCLS@umich.edu with questions or accessibility requests.
