Rooted in African American experience, her practice treats what is discarded, overlooked, or missing not as loss, but as a source of meaning that continues to act on the present. Through her process and materials, Porter reveals how memory is carried in the body and embedded in ordinary things. Her work also resists forward-moving notions of time, instead presenting a diasporic temporality in which past, present, and lived experience circulate together through repetition, touch, and recall. In doing so, Porter proposes a vision of history as unfinished, memory as active, and absence as a force that sustains connection and shapes the present. \n\nMarianetta Porter is a visual artist and product designer whose research and creative practice are grounded in the study of African American history, culture, and representation. Through the language of visual art, she draws connections between historic memory and contemporary African American life, giving voice to the history of the African diaspora while acknowledging its central influence on the birth and flourishing of American culture.\n\nHer work has been exhibited nationally at institutions such as the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, the Spoleto Festival, the Harriet Tubman Museum, and the Hampton University Museum of Art.\n\nShe earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Hampton University and her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. The recipient of numerous awards, Porter is Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan\u2019s Stamps School of Art and Design.\n\nJuana Williams is a curator and writer whose work explores the intersections of cross-border intellectual history, cultural memory, and identity formation as expressed through modern and contemporary art from Africa and its diasporas.\n\nWilliams has held curatorial and academic appointments at organizations including the Detroit Institute of Arts, Library Street Collective, Wayne State University, and the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art. Her curatorial projects have been presented at institutions across the United States and France, including the Grand Rapids Art Museum, the Muskegon Museum of Art, Palais de Tokyo (Paris), and the Westmoreland Museum of American Art. In addition, she has presented lectures at various museums and universities and contributed to numerous exhibition catalogs. Her work has been written about in publications such as Artsy, Beaux Arts Magazine, Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveller, Michigan Chronicle, and Observer.

As the nineteenth century progressed, ballooning became a lucrative (if dangerous) business, as crowds gathered to watch balloons launch, and to see aeronauts risk their lives high in the air. Over time, the image of the hot air balloon proliferated in American print culture, being used to sell goods ranging from thread to canned beef.

The workshop provides students with tools to use in diagnosing problems in survey questions and in writing their own survey questions. Sessions combine lectures with group exercises & discussion. The lecture provides guidelines for writing and revising survey questions and illustrates how to revise troubled questions. Sessions consider both questions about events and behaviors and questions about subjective phenomena (such as attitudes, evaluations, and internal states).\n\nCOURSE OBJECTIVES\n\nIntroduce a structural analysis of parts of a survey question. Describe guidelines for diagnosing problems in survey questions and writing new survey questions. Focus on the structure and wording of survey questions, whether for interviewer-administered or self-administered instruments. Provide an opportunity to apply the guidelines and principles during in-class exercises. Focus on improving individual questions and sets of questions. Summarize research that underlies key decisions in writing survey questions. Introduce cognitive interviewing as a method for testing survey questions.\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\n\nIndividuals who will be writing or reviewing survey questions or survey instruments or analyzing survey data. This course gives practical guidance to those who have written survey questions but who are not familiar with the research on question design, those who are just beginning to design survey instruments, and those who use survey data but do not themselves design survey instruments.\n\nINSTRUCTOR\n\nJennifer (Jen) Dykema s an Professor of Sociology and the Faculty Director of the University of Wisconsin Survey Center (UWSC). Jen\u2019s research focuses on survey methodology, identifying sources of errors produced in the process of gathering standardized measurements and developing and implementing methods to reduce those errors. This work examines three main areas of inquiry: questionnaire design, methods to increase response rates, and interviewer-respondent interaction. As Faculty Director, Jen oversees a program of methodological research that incorporates experiments and evaluations in ongoing projects. Her research has appeared in a number of journals including Public Opinion Quarterly, Journal of Survey Statistics and Methodology, Social Science Computer Review, and Field Methods, and edited volumes including the Handbook of Survey Research and Advances in Questionnaire Design, Development, Evaluation and Testing. She recently co-edited \u201cInterviewer Effects from a Total Survey Error Perspective (2020).\u201d Jen served as the Conference Chair for the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) in 2017, and in 2022 she was selected as a Fellow of the Midwest Association for Public Opinion Research (MAPOR).
