This has wide reaching consequences for politics when it comes to issues like misinformation and polarization, but it is also changing public perceptions of what news media are and challenging traditional understanding of the role of news media in democracies. Using panel survey data from 2020 and 2024, we examine two seemingly contradictory phenomenon: how information abundance can lead to news avoidance and how strong emotional reactions to politics can lead to disengagement. Together, these studies highlight how social media may be shaping both how Americans define news and how they engage with it in the contemporary political information environment. \n\nBio:\nAriel Hasell is an Associate Professor of Communication and Media at the University of Michigan. Broadly, her research examines how the contemporary media environment influences exposure to information about science and politics, the effects of that exposure on knowledge and beliefs, as well as public engagement with science and politics in society.\n\nMeeting ID:\t929 6502 5837\nPasscode:\t770619", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"144317-21895152@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144317", "building_id":"1000145", "building_name":"Institute For Social Research", "building_official_id":1000145, "campus_maps_id":"76", "campus_maps_link_path":"institute-for-social-research", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/institute-for-social-research", "room":"1430BD", "location_name":"Institute For Social Research", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Digital Media"], "website":"https:\/\/calendar.google.com\/calendar\/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=N2pwY3IzOXV0YnIwZTdyc2I4aGZxam9jMTggdW1pY2guZWR1X2M2MmdvZGM2MHBlYW0xNjZqaHA1NjFrc2JrQGc&tmsrc=umich.edu_c62godc60peam166jhp561ksbk%40group.calendar.google.com", "links":[ { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/calendar.google.com\/calendar\/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=N2pwY3IzOXV0YnIwZTdyc2I4aGZxam9jMTggdW1pY2guZWR1X2M2MmdvZGM2MHBlYW0xNjZqaHA1NjFrc2JrQGc&tmsrc=umich.edu_c62godc60peam166jhp561ksbk%40group.calendar.google.com", "title":"Add to calendar" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/src.isr.umich.edu\/", "title":"Survey Research Center" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/s\/92965025837", "title":"Zoom link" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Survey Research Center", "group_id":"5063", "website":"https:\/\/src.isr.umich.edu\/" }, { "group_name":"Institute for Social Research", "group_id":"3285", "website":"http:\/\/isr.umich.edu" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "image_description":"Promotional flyer for a seminar at the University of Michigan ISR with event details and a photo of the speaker", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144317_original-1.png" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144317\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21895152 } , { "id":"141777-21889351", "datetime_modified":"20251211T101811", "datetime_start":"20260203T160000", "datetime_end":"20260203T180000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-02-03", "date_end":"2026-02-03", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"18:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"AMPLIFY: DSI Student Showcase", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"AMPLIFY: DSI Student Showcase", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Join us for our fifth annual AMPLIFY: DSI Student Showcase, where we will celebrate the hard work and creativity of students enrolled in DSI courses!

This talk stitches a line from trans people to an expanded conception of trans, using a focus on trans ecological poetics to go beyond a focus on the human. I broaden the operation of \u201ctrans\u201d in trans media studies to include non-human movements, such as those made by animals, viruses, and movements across the boundaries between different environments. Trans media studies can extend the fields of media studies, transgender studies, and trans of color studies to connect more deeply to and through non-human entities. Still, any injunction for queer and trans studies to go beyond the human must reconcile with the history of trans, Palestinian, Black, and Indigenous people being deemed less than human. In this talk, I use the method of algorithmic analysis proposed in my book *Poetic Operations: Trans of Color Art in Digital Media* (Duke UP, 2022) to explore the operations that make up the poetics of three contemporary artworks\u2014*Sin Sol* (2020), an augmented reality installation I created with the Critical Realities Studio, *Acoustic Ocean* (2018), a short film by Ursula Biemann and \u201cOf Whales\u201d, a film created using virtual reality created by Wu Tsang.\n\nmicha c\u00e1rdenas, PhD, MFA, is an artist, author and Professor of Critical Race & Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She is the director of the Critical Realities Studio. Her debut novel* Atoms Never Touch* (AK Press 2023) imagines trans latina love crossing multiple quantum realities. Her academic monograph P*oetic Operations : Trans of Color Art in Digital Media* (Duke UP 2022) was the co-winner of the Gloria Anzald\u00faa Book Prize in 2022 from the National Women\u2019s Studies Association \u201cfor groundbreaking monographs in women\u2019s studies that makes significant multicultural feminist contributions to women of color\/transnational scholarship\u201d. c\u00e1rdenas was a winner of the 2022 Anonymous Was a Woman artist award.
