SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Brian Jones: Black History Is For Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Brian Jones\, senior director of reading and engagement at the New York Public Library\, talks about how the study of Black history challenges our understanding of race\, nation\, and the stories we tell about who we are. Attend in person or via Zoom (https://myumi.ch/Z2Edd).\n\nIn his 2025 book \"Black History Is for Everyone\,\" Jones offers a meditation on the power of Black history\, using his own experiences as a lifelong learner and classroom teacher to question everything—from the radicalism of the American Revolution to the meaning of “race” and “nation.” With warmth and immersive storytelling\, Jones encourages us to delve deeper into our collective history\, explores how curiosity about our world is essential—and reminds us that with stakes so high\, the effort is worth it.\n\nWe're thrilled to welcome Brian Jones to campus as he challenges our assumptions and gives us glimpses of alternate futures.\n\nThis event is sponsored by U-M Library\, the Rackham Graduate School\, Michigan Housing\, the Bentley Historical Library\, and the School of Information as part of the annual U-M Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium (https://oami.umich.edu/mlk-symposium/).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Extending the Legacy: Innovations of the 25-Year Follow-up of the National Survey of American Life
DESCRIPTION:In 2001\, Dr. James Jackson launched the National Survey of American Life (NSAL)\, the first nationally-representative health survey of Black Americans ever conducted. The goals of the NSAL were to examine how factors like stress\, coping\, early-life experiences\, and cultural beliefs relate to mental health and psychiatric disorders within the Black population. Twenty-five years later\, the NSAL remains unparalleled in terms of its characterization of heterogeneity in psychological\, social\, behavioral and environmental factors within the Black population. In 2026\, we are now planning to reinterview this singular cohort to understand pathways of risk and resilience between psychosocial factors and dementia. To be successful\, this 25-year followup will need to be pioneering in the spirit of the original NSAL effort. This presentation will summarize the survey methodological innovations of the original NSAL and describe the new approaches we are applying in this follow-up effort. Collectively\, this program will demonstrate how foundational principles of interdisciplinary collaboration\, team science\, relationships\, and resiliency are essential in today’s efforts to conduct social science in the public interest.\n\nThis is a hybrid event at the Institute for Social Research with a live stream option available at https://myumi.ch/Nr4mW

REX intercuts the remarkable fossil dig\, with cutting edge computer graphics that bring the iconic T. rex to life—from hatchling to hulking adult. Narrated by Jurassic Park actor Sam Neill\, T. REX explores the newest science that has helped reinvent our understanding of the iconic predator.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Marjorie Lee Browne Colloquium - Matrices\, Moments\, and Quadrature
DESCRIPTION:Title: Matrices\, Moments\, and Quadrature\nMore than a hundred years ago\, Chebyshev posed the following problem: \"Given the length\, weight\, position of mass centre and moment of inertia of a material straight line with an unknown density... find the narrowest possible limits for the weight of any segment of the line.\" This is one of the earliest examples of a moment problem\, the task of obtaining information about a measure from some sequence of its moments. In this talk\, we will explore the classical moment problems of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and how they laid the groundwork for the modern computational techniques in numerical analysis and numerical linear algebra.
