This is particularly the case in the United States in the 21st century: partisans are more polarized in their trust in scientists than in virtually any other societal institution. James Druckman identifies the origins and consequences of that polarization. Polarized scientific trust disincentivizes partisans from compromising with one another and prompts them to politicize science. It also generates massive discoordination between states, with severe consequences for public goods provision (particularly with regard to public health). Druckman offers a path forward, for building trust in scientists with the goal of reducing polarization and de-politicizing science.\n\nJames N. Druckman is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Rochester. He previously was the Payson S. Wild Professor and a Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University. He is also an Honorary Professor of Political Science at Aarhus University in Denmark. Druckman has published approximately 200 articles and book chapters in political science, communication, economics, science, and psychology journals. He has authored, co-authored, or co-edited seven books. His recent books include Partisan Hostility and American Democracy: Explaining Political Divides (University of Chicago Press, 2024), Equality Unfulfilled: How Title IX's Policy Design Undermines Change to College Sports (Cambridge University Press, 2023), and Experimental Thinking: A Primer on Social Science Experiments (Cambridge University Press, 2022).\n\nThe Miller-Converse Lecture is the University of Michigan\u2019s preeminent lecture series on American Electoral Politics.

While Atlantic slavery has received most scholarly attention, Eastern European serfdom remains comparatively understudied. Twentieth-century historiography portrayed it as relatively meek system. In his book *Chamstwo*, Kacper Pob\u0142ocki challenges this view by exposing the profound brutality of serfdom. As Adam Bu\u0107kiewicz observed in 1830, Polish serfs \u201clived as if enveloped in a foggy, heavy, and putrid atmosphere.\u201d Pob\u0142ocki argues that peasant culture emerged as a creative response to systemic class violence\u2014for instance, the ritual cultivation of matted hair, the Polish plait, functioned as a form of vernacular therapy.\r\n \r\n Around 19 percent of Poles today suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder\u2014a rate exceeding the global average of 5 to 10 percent. This is typically attributed to World War II, yet Pob\u0142ocki\u2019s research suggests that its roots reach deeper. In the sequel to *Chamstwo*, he examines how the first generation of peasants freed from serfdom coped with the psychological burden of their parents\u2019 subjugation, revealing how they developed strategies to free themselves from its legacy. Remarkably, these strategies\u2014devised by largely illiterate peasants at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries\u2014anticipate contemporary psychological insights into trauma recovery.\r\n \r\n Kacper Pob\u0142ocki is a social anthropologist, writer, and associate professor at the University of Warsaw. He is a graduate of the Central European University and a former fellow at the Center for Place, Culture and Politics at CUNY (directed by David Harvey). He has published academic articles in journals such as the *International Journal of Urban and Regional Research* and has authored two books in Polish: *Spatial Origins of Capitalism* (2017), which received the \u201cEconomicus\u201d Award for the best Polish economics book of the year, and *Chamstwo* (2021), which was a finalist for the \u201cNike\u201d \u2014Poland\u2019s most prestigious literary award. His current work intersects historical anthropology and psychology and deals with the experience of serfdom and its social, political and psychological aftermath.\r\n \r\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu.

Dr. Rahimi analyzes Moharram in Iran through the five senses\u2014sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste\u2014highlighting how religious practices function as evolving embodied experiences. Senses of Mourning illuminates the changing embodied dimensions of religious practice and situates Moharram rituals within the broader sociopolitical and global transformations of Shi\u02bfi Iran\u2013an especially important site of study in the current time of conflict.\n \n \n Meet the speaker:\n \n Dr. Babak Rahimi is Professor of Culture, Religion, and Technology at the University of California, San Diego. He is also Director of the Program for the Study of Religion and Director of the Middle East Studies Program. Rahimi\u2019s first monograph, *Theater-State and the Formation of the Early Modern Public Sphere in Iran: Studies on Safavid Muharram Rituals, 1590\u20131641 C.E. *(Brill, 2011), offers a historical-sociological exploration of the interplay between public rituals, state power, and social dynamics in the Safavid era.\n \n His latest book, *Senses of Mourning: Moharram Performances in Shi\u2018i Iran from the Qajar to the Covid Era *(University of Pennsylvania Press, 2026), examines the role of sensory religion in Iranian historical contexts. Rahimi is also the editor of *Theatre in the Middle East: Between Performance and Politics* (Anthem Press, 2020) and *Performing Iran: Culture, Performance, Theatre *(I.B. Tauris, 2021). In addition, he co-edited *Social Media in Iran* (with David Faris, SUNY Press, 2015), *The Wiley Blackwell History of Islam* (with Armando Salvatore and Roberto Tottoli, Wiley Blackwell, 2018), and *Muslim Pilgrimage in the Modern World* (with Peyman Eshaghi, University of North Carolina Press, 2019).\n \n His research focuses on the intersections of culture, religion, and technology, with particular attention to the historical and social contexts of early modern Islamicate societies and the Global South.\n\nThe University of Pennsylvania Press is offering a 30% press discount on Dr. Rahimi's book to our audience members and friends with the code PENN-RAHIMI30.
