SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Designing Classroom Activities for Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:Active learning can make teaching more engaging\, provide immediate feedback on student learning\, and give students valuable opportunities to practice the skills they need to be successful. Learning experiences designed without a central consideration of accessibility\, however\, may lead to inequitable outcomes for students with disabilities. In this in-person workshop\, participants will: explore one approach (Universal Design for Learning) to promote teaching for accessibility\; practice identifying barriers to participation in order to design activities around accessibility\; and share and create ideas for how to accessibly implement different active learning opportunities. This seminar is for folks already comfortable with designing and implementing in-class activities (active learning) who want to develop a practice of reflecting and improving on these activities to provide more equitable access to students with disabilities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Institute for Energy Solutions & Electric Vehicle Center: Understanding and Development of Sulfide-Based Solid-State Batteries
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: There is a growing interest in low-cost and scalable manufacturing and recycling methods for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this talk\, I will discuss on our recent progress in innovating materials and processing technologies for more sustainable LIBs. I will first discuss our recent work on the next generation direct recycling methods\, aiming to produce new electrode materials capable of matching the performance of native materials. By leveraging advanced characterizations\, we study the microstructure and compositional evolution of battery materials during cycling\, which are compared with the recycled materials. We demonstrate successful recycling of various battery materials to high performance active materials. Scaling up challenges will also be discussed.\n\nBio: Dr. Zheng Chen is a Professor in the Aiiso Yufeng Li Department of Chemical and Nano Engineering\, and Program of Materials Science and Engineering at UC San Diego.  His research group has been mainly focusing on 1) design and synthesis of nanostructured and polymeric materials for energy storage and conversion\, and 2) development of scalable materials manufacturing recycling methods. Dr. Chen has received the 2024 ECS Toyota Young Investigator Fellowship\, 2023 ECS Battery Division Early Career Award\, NASA’s 2018 Early Career Faculty Award\, the LG Chem Global Battery Innovation Contest (BIC) Award in 2018\, and the 2018 ACF PRF New Investigator Award.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Special Lecture: Expanding Equity and Efficiency: Evidence from a Stop and Frisk Disruption
DESCRIPTION:Fairness tradeoffs may appear rigid when the data used to measure them are treated as fixed. Yet\, in many settings\, today’s decisions impact the data on which tomorrow’s decisions rely. I study what that feedback implies for the tradeoff highlighted by the algorithmic fairness impossibility theorem. Focusing on policing\, I develop a model in which stops lead to arrests\, justifying more stops in certain neighborhoods. Under diminishing returns\, this selective over-enforcement inefficiently inflates arrest incidence\, lowers arrest yield (the fraction of stops resulting in arrest) and increases false-positive (FP) burden independently of latent crime levels. A policy disruption can then improve policing efficiency while expanding the full administrative fairness frontier. I study this mechanism using the sequence of political shifts that ended New York City’s stop-and-frisk program. In historically over-policed neighborhoods\, arrest and weapons yield increased sharply\, while stop-generated arrest incidence\, weapons incidence\, and FP stop incidence all fell sharply\, with no increase in reported crime. Under common true positive rates\, the implied racial FP gap narrowed as well. When institutions learn from data impacted by their own past actions\, feedback-disruptive policy can enlarge the scope for improving equity and efficiency simultaneously.\n\nProf. McMillon\, an economist and UM math alum\, will give a talk about his research and his career path. His research interests include systemic discrimination\, educational inequality\, criminal dynamics\, algorithmic fairness\, and the political economy of reparative reforms. \n\nThe talk will be followed at 4pm by a reception in the atrium.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"
