Culture facilitates human interaction by providing meaning to lived experience. Accounting for culture in both theories and methods potentially advances the study of health by connecting the macro and micro levels of human experience. Yet, culture should be understood as dynamic and complex. It fundamentally shapes individuals and simultaneously is shaped by individuals. The importance of systematically attending to culture includes topics of values, language, immigration, and society.\n\nTheories and methods that incorporate culture hold great potential for advancing the understanding of health outcomes and health trajectories in various global contexts.\n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on various aspects of culture and diverse groups living in the U.S. and across the globe to address the ways in which attending to culture helps clarify and overcome challenges to good health.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920\u2019s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer\/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization, evolution and human behavior, and cultural psychology.\n\nIn person: ISR Thompson 6050, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Kristine Ajrouch and Sela Panapasa\nEvents are not recorded", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"149694-21906960@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/149694", "building_id":"1000145", "building_name":"Institute For Social Research", "campus_maps_id":"76", "room":"6050", "location_name":"Institute For Social Research", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Research","Culture","Social Science Research","Social Science"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD)", "group_id":"4836", "website":"https:\/\/rcgd.isr.umich.edu\/" }, { "group_name":"Institute for Social Research", "group_id":"3285", "website":"http:\/\/isr.umich.edu" }, { "group_name":"Survey Research Center", "group_id":"5063", "website":"https:\/\/src.isr.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_149694_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21906960 } , "153265-21915550": { "datetime_modified":"20261016T084700", "datetime_start":"20261026T160000", "datetime_end":"20261026T180000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-10-26", "date_end":"2026-10-26", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"18:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"2026 David Noel Freedman Lecture", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"2026 David Noel Freedman Lecture: One Goat, Two Piglets, and Heaps of Grain \u2013 Banking with Barley in Late Bronze Age Babylonia", "event_subtitle":"One Goat, Two Piglets, and Heaps of Grain \u2013 Banking with Barley in Late Bronze Age Babylonia", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Please join us for the 2026 David Noel Freedman Lecture with Dr. Susanne Paulus, Associate Professor of Assyriology and Curator of the Tablet Collection at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures (ISAC) at the University of Chicago.\n\nMichigan League, Vandenberg Room, 2nd Floor\nMonday, October 26th, 4 - 6pm\n\nAbstract:\n\nWriting history is telling stories. The stories we tell about ancient economies, including that of Late Bronze Age Babylonia, are often shaped by preconceptions about commodities, credit, and debt. Drawing on tablets excavated in cities such as Babylon, Nippur, and Ur in modern Iraq, this lecture follows barley through a series of transactions involving taxes, loans, investments, and even two piglets. Barley was both a major food source and an economic staple, but the documents reveal much more than subsistence. They offer alternative ways of understanding credit, debt, and investment in Late Bronze Age Babylonia.\n \nBiography:\n\nSusanne Paulus is an Associate Professor of Assyriology and Curator of the Tablet Collection at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures (ISAC) at the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on the social, legal, and economic history of Late Bronze Age Babylonia. Her current book project, Banking with Barley, supported by the American Council of Learned Societies, explores credit, debt, and economic life in Kassite Babylonia. She is also an epigraphist for the Nippur excavations and is involved in the publication of cuneiform texts from the city of Babylon.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"153265-21915550@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/153265", "building_id":"1000191", "building_name":"Michigan League", "campus_maps_id":"108", "room":"Vandenberg Room (2nd Floor)", "location_name":"Michigan League", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Middle East Studies","Lecture","Bronze Age","Babylonia"], "website":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/umichmes\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Middle East Studies", "group_id":"1927", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/middleeast" }, { "group_name":"Archaeology at Michigan", "group_id":"5160", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153265_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21915550 } }
