SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Mini-Talk: François Tissot
DESCRIPTION:In 1965\, Caltech geochemist Clair Patterson published what was\, at the time\, a highly controversial finding: that leaded gasoline and other products like canned food solder\, paints\, and insecticide were exposing Americans to dangerously high levels of lead. His work helped galvanize the environmental movement\, ultimately leading to the Clean Air Act of 1970. Fifty years later\, Caltech researchers were once again at the center of investigations on environmental lead contamination when the Eaton fire devastated communities surrounding Caltech. A year on from the LA fires of 2025\, I will discuss Patterson's legacy and its connections to the research my group and others are pursuing to study the presence of lead and other toxic metals in the aftermath of the fires. I will also share the impact of his findings to date—and how they can help communities prepare as fires at the wildland-urban interface grow increasingly common.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Transition to Graduate Writing II
DESCRIPTION:This workshop offers practical strategies for reading\, writing\, and revising academic texts while identifying transferable patterns across disciplinary genres. \n\nGraduate students are required to navigate a range of academic writing conventions\, genres\, expectations\, and audiences. This workshop will help graduate student writers identify critical strategies for reading and writing academic texts. We’ll talk about how to approach unfamiliar writing tasks\, develop drafting and revision practices\, and identify patterns across all disciplinary forms of academic writing. The workshop will conclude by identifying our learning goals and developing best methods for achieving them. \n\nPresented by Monroe Moody\, Sweetland Center for Writing Faculty.\n\nRegistration required. See link.\n\nRackham/Sweetland Workshops\, co-sponsored by the Rackham Graduate School\, cover a host of topics designed to help graduate students in various aspects of writing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2026 Jeffrey R. Parsons Lecture - Commoning Identity and Community Formation:  A Middle Holocene Case Study in Peru
DESCRIPTION:The formation of food-producing societies\, the organizational developments of institutionalized mechanisms for integrating them\, and how these foundational mechanisms eventually led to early complex communities still is marginally understood. The socio-economic relationships between a large-scale public monument at Huaca Prieta and outlying domestic sites on the north coast of Peru during the Middle Holocene are examined in terms of community formation and identity-marking. Between ~7000 and 5500 BP population expansion and community integration developed among fishing and farming households residing in different littoral habitats. The development of a cohesive community is viewed in terms of the creation of a communing identity\, defined by previously unconnected subgroups of weavers (cotton textiles and fish nets) and seafood specialists and by standardized\, inter-household and -subgroup ritual and mortuary acts at Huaca Prieta. This research challenges accepted interpretations such as early communities and public monuments formed by elites controlling food production\, exchange networks\, and corporate labor.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:American Institutions Group
DESCRIPTION:The American Institutions Group (AIG) is a Rackham interdisciplinary workshop for faculty and graduate students that meets twice a month to discuss recent and forthcoming research on American political institutions (e.g. Congress\, the presidency\, state legislatures and executives\, the courts\, and the bureaucracy). Our key goals are to offer new and varied perspectives for graduate students to harness in their own dissertation work on American political institutions\; encourage conversations that breed new research ideas\; and spur innovative collaborations among our participants. AIG participants are scholars in political science\, public health\, social work\, public policy\, and economics interested in examinations of American political institutions from the perspective of these disciplines.\n\nFaculty Coordinators: Charles R.
