SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:AI at ICPSR: The Feb. 2026 Edition
DESCRIPTION:Have you wondered whether you can use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools with publicly available data from places like ICPSR? Or wondered what places like ICPSR are thinking about AI in relation to delivering data services? Then this session is for you! We will talk briefly about ways we know AI is being used in social research\, what ICPSR's policy is governing whether our data can be used with AI tools (and why)\, and how ICPSR is experimenting with integrating AI into our own work. You'll hear about current projects and future directions from this quickly changing landscape!\n\nThis webinar is part of the 2026 ICPSR Data Fair @ Love Data Week. For more information\, please visit myumi.ch/ICPSRLoveDataWeek.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. The webinar will be recorded\, and the recording\, along with the slides (when available)\, will be made available in the 2026 Love Data Week YouTube playlist at https://myumi.ch/y1jm8.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:It's More Than the First Amendment
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Herzog will discuss the importance of the First Amendment and share examples of free speech issues that aren’t covered by the First Amendment at all. He’ll also offer insights gained from teaching U-M students about the fundamental freedoms of religion\, speech\, assembly and petition guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. Herzog joined U-M’s Political Science Department in 1983 and holds a joint appointment with that department and the Law School. In 2011\, the U-M student body selected Herzog to receive its coveted Golden Apple\, the only university-wide teaching award determined by students. He is the first law professor to receive a Golden Apple award in the award’s more than 20-year history.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:On the performed power of taboo words in fictional television and film
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I focus on the fluidity between the regulation and the occurrence of taboo language within the fictional audiovisual media in the United States and show that tabooed lexical items in the fictional media are simultaneously performative and performed. Tabooed words present a fascinating source of cross-cultural and cross-linguistic puzzles\, puzzles that can be mediated through the indexicality of performativity (as action) and performance (as highly stylized representation). First\, I illustrate a range of functions fulfilled by taboo terms in the fictional media\, including their various grammatical functions and their place within the narrative. Second\, I show how the regulation of taboo usage highlights an iterative\, dialectic tension between performance and performativity. This tension is uniquely visible in the fictional media because\, on the one hand\, regulation occurs within the fictional material itself (e.g. a character performs the admonition of another character with “that’s a bad word”) and\, on the other\, regulation occurs through external institutions (such as\, in the United States\, the Federal Communication Commission or the Motion Picture Association of America). By drawing on the performativity of taboo utterances to reframe regulation away from preventing offence (due to breaking a taboo) to the ideological protection of children\, regulatory bodies must engage the dialectic between performance and performativity and thereby index competing cultural norms and ideologies\, mechanisms of prohibition\, commercial interests\, freedom of expression\, artistic/poetic expression\, and entertainment.
