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.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Bookworm #93 -  Author Conversation with Barbara Franco\, \"Gettysburg Surgeons: Facing a Common Enemy in the Civil War's Deadliest Battle\"
DESCRIPTION:Angela Oonk hosts this webinar series discussing history topics with guests. This month\, historian and author of \"Gettysburg Surgeons: Facing a Common Enemy in the Civil War's Deadliest Battle\" Barbara Franco takes us to Gettysburg\, the bloodiest battle of the Civil War. A thousand surgeons faced an unprecedented medical catastrophe: 25\,000 wounded soldiers needing immediate care with only primitive tools and their own determination to save lives.\n\nAt Gettysburg's makeshift hospitals—set up in barns\, churches\, and blood-soaked fields—military and civilian surgeons from both North and South worked around the clock performing life-saving operations under fire. Drawing from a decade of meticulous research\, Franco reveals how these courageous medical professionals revolutionized battlefield medicine and established principles still saving lives today.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Summer Deep Reading on Deep Learning (Transformer Circuits)
DESCRIPTION:Matthew O'Meara\, PhD and his lab are hosting what we're calling Summer Deep Reading on Deep Learning. This year it will be a multi-part journal club on Transformer Circuits. We're going to start with Grokking and touch on lazy/rich training regimes\, thermodynamics and phase transitions. The aim is to make the math accessible while getting into advanced topics. \n\nAll are welcome\, please pass this announcement to folks in your lab or anyone else you think may be interesting.\n\nOver the course of the series\, we are going to explore the use of generative and agentic AI and how we can use it to engage with new ideas and learn from each other. So each week we'll suggest exercises covering prompting strategies\, ClaudeCode\, Skills/MCPs\, agentic workflows\, and rigor and reproducibility. As a finale\, for those that can attend\, we'll hold a multi-day hackathon where we can work together to integrate what we've learned into resource for others.\n\nSchedule and Logistics\nWe'll meet every-other week on Fridays at 10-11am location 4B700\, where the coordinates may vary depending on availability.\n\nFriday 5/22\nFriday 6/5\nFriday 6/19\nThursday 7/2 (2pm-4pm)\nHackathon 7/15-17th\n\n* Each session we'll cover a paper journal as a journal club\, and share what we learned about and through the AI tools.\n* For coordination and up-to-date information\, please join the #summer-deep-reading-deep-learning channel on slack.\n\nExpectations:\nRead the paper and be curious

Guided by the literature on mixed methods research\, the course will present various motivations and strategies for blending qualitative components into a quantitative study. Students will be introduced to a variety of qualitative methods and the ways each approach can complement a survey\, including focus groups\, in-depth interviews\, asynchronous research\, cognitive testing\, open-ended survey questions\, and multiple methods used across a single study. Through case studies and collaborative exercises\, students will explore the potential contribution of each method\, as well as the benefits of combined methods to advance and understand specific research questions. Practical considerations will be covered\, including study design\, sampling\, recruitment\, data collection\, analysis\, and integration of qualitative findings into survey reporting. This course is designed for those with a specific research question in mind\, as participants will be asked to design multi-method approaches to a research question of their choice. By the end of this course\, participants will understand the role qualitative research can play in survey research and how to design and implement a qualitative phase in a multimethod study.\n\nDarby Steiger is Vice President of Innovation & Solutions and Director of Qualitative Research at SSRS. Darby is responsible for spearheading the advancement of the core SSRS research products while driving cutting-edge approaches to the firm’s qualitative and quantitative research divisions. With over 30 years as a qualitative researcher and survey methodologist\, Darby has extensive experience conducting qualitative and quantitative research for a wide range of organizations and topics. A national leader in research methods\, Darby regularly presents at leading industry conferences and recently served on the Executive Council of the American Association for Public Opinion Research.
