SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ Students in Our Political Context
DESCRIPTION:Join the University of Michigan Spectrum Center for a roundtable of scholars and practitioners to discuss how to support and serve queer and trans students in U.S. higher education at this time of our nation’s history. As the policy landscape shifts rapidly and higher education institutions move to shutter gender and sexuality centers and end critical programs and services\, queer and trans students persist on our campuses. What does current scholarship indicate these students need to survive or thrive? What are centers and programs that still exist doing to preserve knowledge of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and continue to support these populations? How can we bridge theory and praxis to center QT communities and encourage people of all genders and sexualities to work for more just and welcoming campuses? Our panelists\, Dr. Kris Renn\, Dr. Antonio Duran\, and Dr. Kristopher Oliveira\, represent innovative and student-centered scholarship and praxis. We encourage researchers\, scholar-practitioners\, and graduate students from U-M and beyond to be a part of this important conversation.\n\nPlease note that this webinar will be live only and will not be recorded or sent to participants.\n\nPANELIST BIOS\n\nJesse Beal\, (they/them/theirs) Jesse Beal is the director of Spectrum Center. They joined as associate director in November 2021 and were named the director in December 2022. Prior to arriving at the University of Michigan\, Jesse served as the director of the Gender and Sexuality Campus Center at Michigan State University. Jesse is an experienced student affairs practitioner\, who brings over a decade of experience leading student-facing affinity-based resource centers at Amherst College\, Brandeis University\, Suffolk University\, and MSU. They bring a demonstrated history of working towards equity and inclusion in higher education with a practice that is collaborative\, student-centered\, intersectional\, and justice based. Jesse has been a social justice and LGBTQIA2S+ activist\, educator\, and consultant for the past fifteen years. They present regularly at national conferences and at many colleges\, universities\, and nonprofits. Jesse serves as the director of community and advocacy for the Consortium of Higher Education LGBTQ Resource Professionals\, a member-based association working toward the liberation of LGBTQ people in higher education. Jesse is also a PhD student in the Michigan State University Higher\, Adult\, and Lifelong Education (HALE) program studying LGBTQIA2S+ populations in higher education. They possess a Master of Arts in women's and gender studies from Brandeis University and a Bachelor of Arts in women's and gender studies and government from the University of Texas at Austin. As the director\, they provide campus-wide leadership on strategies to advance equity\, and inclusion with regard to gender and sexuality. Jesse drives our strategic planning\, sets unit goals\, and oversees the operation of the center and our programs and services\n\nAntonio Duran\, PhD (he/him/his) is an Associate Professor of Higher and Postsecondary Education\, as well as a 1L JD student at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. His research agenda addresses how issues of inequity shape institutions of higher education and what practitioners\, faculty\, and students do to resist them. He is especially interested in applying frames that expose how intersecting systems of oppression affect multiply minoritized people and their navigation of these social institutions. As a JD student\, he strives to explore how research informs legal practice (and vice-versa) to advance equity and justice.\n\nKristopher Oliveira\, PhD (he/him/his) is Director of the LGBTQ+ Equity Center at the University of Maryland and a faculty affiliate. A sociologist and higher education leader\, he has previously directed LGBTQ+ centers at Princeton\, the University of Kansas\, and St. Cloud State University. His research examines Queer and Trans (QT) resource centers and practitioners\, exploring programmatic and academic outcomes for QT students and the experiences of Black and Queer professionals in higher education. He is co-editor of the forthcoming volume Championing Trans and Queer Inclusion Beyond the Campus Resource Center and serves as Practitioner-in-Residence for ACPA’s Coalition for Sexuality and Gender Identities. Kristopher has also held leadership and volunteer roles with the Consortium of Higher Education LGBT Resource Professionals\, the Trevor Project\, and the Human Rights Campaign. When not working\, he enjoys traveling\, all things Oz\, and time with his husband\, Alfredo\, and their chihuahua\, Scooby Doo.\n\nKristen Renn\, PhD (she/her/hers) is University Distinguished Professor of Higher\, Adult\, &amp\; Lifelong Education at Michigan State University. With a background in student affairs administration\, including inaugurating the role of LGBTQ resource provider at Brown University\, she has for the last 30 years focused her research on the identities\, experiences\, and development of minoritized students in higher education. She was co-PI of the National Study of LGBTQ Student Success\, a two-phase study of LGBTQ college students comprising a mixed methods survey/interview phase and a four-year longitudinal interview phase conducted with LGBTQ students.\n\nMORE SPECTRUM CENTER EVENTS\nhttps://spectrumcenter.umich.edu/events\n\nMORE NCID EVENTS\nhttps://ncid.umich.edu/events

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning seminar in algebraic combinatorics: Bricks and the Lattice of Torsion Classes
DESCRIPTION:Last week\, Yucong introduced the lattice of torsion classes. This coming week\, we'll examine several properties of the lattice of torsion classes. We'll characterize the completely join irreducible elements and\, time permitting\, prove that the lattice of torsion classes is completely semi-distributive. Underlying both of these properties are \"bricks\"\, a special kind of indecomposable module.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Who Gets What in Education:  Can School Matching Improve Student Achievement? (with Parag Pathak and Atila Abdulkadiroglu)
DESCRIPTION:We examine two approaches to improving urban school systems: changing who gets to go to existing schools (reallocation) and restructuring school portfolios through closures and reconstitution (resource augmentation). Using data from New York City high schools\, we estimate models of school effects allowing for both vertical school quality differences and horizontal student-specific match effects. While sophisticated reallocation policies that op- timize student-school matches can generate modest educational gains\, they are constrained by limited seats at highly effective schools. Simple resource-augmentation policies targeting replacement of low-performing schools achieve comparable improvements with less systemic disruption. Analysis of NYC’s school closures reveals that basic graduation rate metrics effectively identify struggling schools\, suggesting complex value-added models may be un- necessary for targeting closure decisions. Our findings indicate that capacity constraints\, rather than poor school matching\, primarily drive educational inequality.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | X-ray vision in the age of free-electron lasers: Making the invisible visible
DESCRIPTION:For well over a century x rays have been a powerful tool for probing atomic-scale structure due to their short wavelength and relatively weak interaction with matter.  As sources have become ever more brilliant\, scientists have been able to probe the microscopic world with more and more exquisite detail. In the past couple of decades free-electron lasers have provided the most intense laboratory source of x rays with femtosecond pulse durations---short enough to capture the fastest vibrations in solids\, and the making and breaking of chemical bonds.  In this colloquium\, I'll present a few examples of how we utilize these remarkable light sources to gain new insight into material properties.  I’ll present a novel method for studying non-equilibrium lattice dynamics in the time domain[1] which we’ve used to identify a novel lattice instability in photoexcited SnSe[2]\, as well as identify the changes in interatomic forces that drive it [3].  The high brightness further allows us to isolate valence electron density within the atomic bonds[4].  I’ll show how we’ve been able to view the local nonlinear response to sub-bandgap excitation in the prototypical semiconductor silicon[5].  These results advance our goals of developing a mechanistic understanding\, and novel methods of controlling\, the remarkable properties of materials on their fundamental length and time scales.\n\n[1] M.
