The event will feature remarks by the organizers, the exhibition curators, one of the featured photojournalists, and a former Peace Corps volunteer who has stood in solidarity with the people of Gwangju since 1980. Light refreshments are provided. \n\n*Exhibition Description*\nThis photo exhibition features 90 curated images from the UNESCO-inscribed May 18 Archives. Documenting the May 18\u201327, 1980 democratization uprising in Gwangju, South Korea, the collection captures the shift from peaceful student protests to military violence and unified citizen resistance, carried out under a complete blackout as civilians and photojournalists risked their lives to photograph atrocities and smuggle film past cordons. Beyond serving as historical artifacts, these preserved visual truths offer a living blueprint for popular resilience against authoritarianism, transforming local trauma into a universal defense of human rights. Displaying these records at Michigan bridges 1980 Gwangju with our present moment, inviting viewers to engage past resistance in the ongoing effort to defend democracy today.\n\n*Exhibition Composition*\nThe exhibit will be composed of a visual narrative comprised of six chronological sections and two additional special sections:\n\n1. Protest (May 5\u201316, 1980): \nFollowing the collapse of Park Chung-hee\u2019s military dictatorship in October, 1979, Gwangju students and citizens held peaceful rallies for campus autonomy and the end of martial law. Photos from this era show orderly marches and hopeful faces, capturing a society on the brink of change before the structural contradictions shifted toward state-led violence. \n\n2. Suppression (May 18\u201319, 1980): \nA new junta government led by Chun Doo-hwan extended martial law to the entire country on May 17. Students at Chonnam National University protested against the new junta government\u2019s decision. State violence escalated as paratroopers, who were deployed to Gwangju, engaged student protesters. Streets became scenes of brutal beatings and kidnappings. Beyond documenting victims, the images on display in this section serve as primary historical evidence and legal proof of the military's methods and the sudden transformation of citizens into targets of control. \n\n3. Uprising (May 20\u201321, 1980): \nThe movement shifted into a popular struggle. Vehicles lined up in Gwangju\u2019s main thoroughfare, Geumnam-ro. This massive vehicle parade symbolized the people becoming active subjects of resistance. The military was given the order to use live ammunition against civilians. In reaction, the city became a space of voluntary mobilization and citizens emerged as historical political actors. \n\n4. Resistance (May 22\u201326, 1980): \nWhile isolated and cut off from communications, Gwangju established an autonomous system of self-governance. Photos in this section testify to the efforts made to establish a sense of order based on solidarity\u2014sharing food and donating blood\u2014rather than chaos. The formation of this \"Daedong (Great Unity) Community\" and the visual documentation thereof serve as foundations of democracy in South Korea. \n\n5. Massacre (May 27, 1980): \nThe uprising was crushed by a dawn military operation. While the armed resistance ended, the resulting photographs of the aftermath reveal the stark reality of the massacre. These images became the catalyst for future truth-seeking movements and the pursuit of historical justice in South Korea. \n\n6. Mourning: \nScenes of coffins, portraits, and silent vigils represent a collective ethical gaze. During this period, mourning was more than a display of grief; it was a communal act used to redefine the city\u2019s identity and establish new moral standards for justice.\n\n7. Special Section A: The Photographers\nThis special section highlights the domestic and international photographers who documented the uprising. This includes Korean journalists alongside US journalists Robin Moyer and Norman Thorpe, French correspondents Patrick Chauvel and Fran\u00e7ois Lochon, and German cinematographer J\u00fcrgen Hinzpeter. Their images transcend simple reporting, reflecting a moral commitment to record and a historical duty to ensure remembrance. Rather than viewing these photos solely as evidence, the exhibition reinterprets them through a lens of photographic history\u2014examining their context, distribution, and how they transformed raw records into social truth and collective memory.\n\n8. Special Section B: The Peace Corps: Americans Who Helped Gwangju\nWhen Gwangju was isolated under martial law in May 1980, four American Peace Corps volunteers\u2014Tim Warnberg, David Lee Dolinger, Judi Chamberlin, and Paul Courtright\u2014refused to leave, choosing instead to assist the wounded, aid foreign journalists, and ultimately expose the truth to the world. Those pivotal ten days reshaped their lives into lifelong commitments to human rights, inspiring decades of memoirs, academic writings, and testimonies. Through photographs, video footage, and personal records, this section traces their journey from eyewitnesses to active defenders of human dignity, inviting us to reflect on what it truly means to take a stand in the face of another\u2019s suffering. \n\nTwo additional events programmed in conjunction with this photo exhibition\n1.

While AI has the potential to uncover abuses, expand access to critical services, support crisis response, and identify harmful patterns at scale, it can also amplify surveillance, bias, disinformation, and exclusion.\n\nTo build AI systems that are both effective and responsible, collaboration across disciplines is essential.\n\nWe invite you to join the AI & Human Rights Workshop on September 24, 2026, where researchers, human rights practitioners, and domain experts will explore how advances in AI can help address human rights challenges, and how these challenges can inspire new directions for AI research.\n\nThe workshop will feature brief presentations followed by interactive table discussions designed to foster collaboration across disciplines. Participants are encouraged to bring their own research questions, ideas, challenges, and perspectives to the conversation.\n\nPresenters and facilitators include:\n\nRada Mihalcea, Janice M. Jenkins Collegiate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering; Director, Michigan AI Lab\n\nPeter Railton, Emeritus Gregory S.

When treatment changes social connections, these comparisons do not reveal how much of the response operates through network changes. I propose a framework that decomposes the outcome difference between treated individuals and untreated individuals at different saturations into direct, network-mediated, treatment\u2013network interaction, and saturation-spillover components without imposing functional-form restrictions on potential outcomes. I give conditions under which these components can be identified leveraging pretreatment networks and covariates, without estimating a network formation model. The main restriction, baseline network sufficiency, requires that network-formation factors contain no further information about the shocks governing outcomes at fixed treatment and exposure after conditioning on baseline characteristics. Under neighborhood stability and regularity conditions, I propose an estimation procedure based on debiased machine learning without sample splitting that accommodates network dependence. I propose an inference procedure that conditions on realized saturations, which is valid as cluster sizes grow while the number of clusters stays fixed. Reanalyzing an agronomy-training experiment in Rwanda, I find a negative network-mediated effect on input use for untreated farmers and a positive treatment\u2013network interaction; these opposing effects reveal a network channel obscured by the small total effect and suggest that training changes how social connections shape the allocation of shared inputs.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"151818-21912224@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/151818", "building_id":"1005177", "building_name":"North Quad", "campus_maps_id":"553", "room":"4300", "location_name":"North Quad", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Econometrics","Economics","seminar"], "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/econ", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Economics", "group_id":"3302", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/econ" }, { "group_name":"Econometrics", "group_id":"3546", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Economics Seminars", "group_id":"3566", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151818_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21912224 } }
