SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Evolution in the Public Eye Award and Lecture: What Are Emotions\, How Do They Work\, and Why Are They Like That?
DESCRIPTION:Join the University of Michigan's Evolution & Human Adaptation Program for the 2026 Evolution in the Public Eye Award celebration. This award recognizes individuals who share evidence-based science and challenge misinformation\, helping us all better understand the role of evolution in shaping the mind. The winner will deliver an address on their work\, highlighting efforts to improve scholarly and public dialogue.\n\nLecture summary: Emotions are among the most familiar and ubiquitous parts of the human experience — and among the most puzzling. How do emotions work? Why do they work that way? And why do we have them at all? Drawing on an evolutionary perspective\, we’ll examine fear\, disgust\, shame\, romantic love\, and other emotions: how they coordinate distinct changes across the body\, brain\, and mind\; how different emotions evolved to solve different problems\; and how their structure reflects the problems they evolved to solve. But this perspective also raises a puzzle: if emotions are evolved systems that help us navigate important life challenges\, why do they sometimes lead us astray? Grasping the adaptive logic of emotion helps resolve this puzzle and gives us a deeper and more accurate understanding of our emotions. The result is an evolutionarily grounded framework for thinking about emotion that goes beyond dichotomizing emotions as good or bad\, rational or irrational\, and provides a new way of making sense of our emotional lives.\n\nAbout the award recipient and speaker: Dr. Laith Al-Shawaf is a research psychologist\, writer\, and professor at the University of Colorado. His research focuses on emotions\, cognition\, and personality\, with an emphasis on understanding the structure and function of the human mind from an evolutionary perspective. He is the primary editor and curator of The Oxford Handbook of Evolution and the Emotions\, a 70-chapter volume published in 2024.\n\nProfessor Al-Shawaf is a President’s Teaching Scholar\, a lifetime designation across the University of Colorado system\, and the recipient of numerous research and teaching awards\, including the Rising Star Award from the Association for Psychological Science\, the Early Career Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions and the Fellow Award from the Human Behavior and Evolution Society\, and multiple teaching and research honors from the University of Colorado. He is the recipient of the 2026 Evolution in the Public Eye Award for excellence in communicating evolutionary science to the public.\n\nIn addition to his scholarly work\, he writes popular science essays for general audiences and has appeared on a variety of science podcasts and other media platforms. His popular science writing has been translated into multiple languages.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Rebuilding Democracy
DESCRIPTION:As the country heads into the 2026 midterm elections\, the University of Michigan welcomes journalist Osita Nwanevu\, contributing editor at The New Republic and columnist at The Guardian\, for a public conversation with Elizabeth Anderson\, the John Dewey Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy.\n\nThe evening centers on Nwanevu's new book\, The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding\, which argues that America's democratic troubles run deeper than any single election. The real problem\, Nwanevu contends\, lies in institutions that were never designed to let majorities govern\, and in an economy that keeps power far from ordinary people.\n\nAnderson\, one of the country's most influential political philosophers\, brings her own work on democracy\, equality\, and the workplace to the exchange. Together they take up the questions this election season keeps surfacing. Who really holds power in America? Why do so many people feel unheard\, and what would it take to build a democracy worthy of the name?\n\nThe conversation is free and open to students\, faculty\, and the broader Ann Arbor community\, with time for audience questions.\n\n\nSchedule\n\n*Graduate student workshop with Osita*\nCentral Campus\, room sent to registrants. \n2:00 to 3:30 pm \nSign up: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfp8sfCKgchUYJxep4UtwYVBAGXcdZLOLV-M8ozfZJE1lf7VQ/viewform\n\n*Main Event*\nFriday\, October 9\, 2026 \nRoss School of Business\, Robertson Auditorium \n5:30 pm    Doors open\, light refreshments and Literati book sales in the lobby.\n6:00 pm    The program begins\, including questions and answers at the end. \n7:30 pm    Refreshments and book signing / sales in the lobby until 8:00 pm.\n\nRSVP -- free\, but please sign up to help us plan refreshments: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc3_b6m_2cOK6JzOtUdZQSsU4f1ma7wH6pCxY25x3_Pu5ldDg/viewform\n\n\nSponsors and Partners\n\nU-M Department of Philosophy\; Energy Club at Ross\; Rackham Graduate School\; Poverty Solutions\; Business+Impact at Ross\; Wallace House\; Institute for the Humanities\; U-M Department of History\;  Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\; U-M Department of English Language & Literature\; Ford School of Public Policy\; Center for Positive Organizations\; Center for Political Studies\; U-M Department of Political Science\; Michigan Law\; the Philosophy\, Politics\, and Economics Program\; Science\, Technology & Society\; Science\, Technology & Public Policy at the Ford School\; the Erb Institute\; Net Impact\; U-M Department of Sociology\, and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SAPAC GROWE: Engendering Respectful Communities Workshops - SY26 - 27
DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.
