Event will be live webstreamed at https://wallacehouse.umich.edu/?p=8583.

How should the press adapt when those in power use the epithet “fake news” to attack real reporting? Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, David Fahrenthold of The Washington Post, offers suggestions for both reporters and news consumers on navigating this new era. He will discuss how journalists can open up their own reporting process through social media, show the public the work that underlies their stories and invite readers in as collaborators.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Fahrenthold used social media to follow-up on Donald Trump’s pledge to donate money to veterans groups. Posting his reporter’s notes on Twitter to solicit leads, Fahrenthold uncovered Trump’s questionable charitable practices and found no evidence that Trump donated money to veterans groups as he’d claimed. Fahrenthold was also the first reporter to reveal the existence of the “Access Hollywood” 2005 video in which Trump bragged about groping women. For his series of stories, Fahrenthold won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting.

A graduate of Harvard, Fahrenthold has been at The Washington Post since 2000. There he reports on President Trump’s businesses and conflicts of interest. He previously covered the Washington, D.C., police, the environment, New England, Congress and the federal bureaucracy for the paper.

Can the Internet be controlled? Should it be? How does the history of the Internet help predict what we should expect for its future? Is net neutrality a lost cause or something worth fighting for? The Internet continues to surprise us as a force for change and disruption in our daily lives and society at large. While it seems as though these significant disruptions are a recent phenomena, in reality we have seen these profound societal disruptions since the 1990s. In this Teach-Out, participants will learn how the Internet has affected human communication, the sharing and discovery of information, and social interactions. Discussions on current trends and potential ways the Internet will continue to affect society will also be explored, as well as how learners can empower their own productivity and impact in the ever-evolving landscape of the Internet.

Characterizing and Quantifying Public Conversations Online (October 30, 2017 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46042 46042-10356049@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 30, 2017 3:30pm
Location: North Quad
Organized By: School of Information

Online public conversations, which feature open participation and interactions between strangers, are increasing in their frequency and societal importance. Digital platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit face challenges in improving these conversations, from designing user interfaces to stimulating participation and moderating or prioritizing content. Perhaps the most important challenge is deciding which kinds of conversations are most valuable to people and how the value generated can be practically measured at large scale and across a variety of use-cases.

In this talk Facebook social scientist Sean Taylor will present a range of approaches to measuring and characterizing online public conversations. In the course of product research at Facebook, they have applied machine learning, human annotation, surveys, network analysis, and ethnographic research in order to gain a deeper understanding of the space of public conversations and to try to pin down how and when they create value for the participants. He discusses how ongoing advancements in measurement technology have helped improve Facebook products, and what they have learned about human behavior in the process of studying these social systems.

About the Speaker: Sean J. Taylor is a computational social scientist on Facebook’s Data Science team. Prior to Facebook, he earned his PhD in Information Systems from NYU’s Stern School of Business. He specializes in using machine learning methods and randomized experiments for measurement, prediction, and policy decisions. Sean’s research ranges from studying online social influence, viral marketing, and social networks to measuring how sports fans behave and the impact of data science on decision making in organizations. He is also an avid engineer who enjoys putting academic research into practice by building tools and services like new kinds of prediction markets and automated forecasting systems.

The Social, Behavioral and Experimental Economics lecture series is sponsored by the School of Information, the Ross School of Business and the Department of Economics. Speakers from U.S. and international universities present their research at weekly seminars during the 2017-2018 academic year.

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Author and former Barnard College professor Cathy O’Neil, examines the use of data in contemporary society with an emphasis on how mathematical models drive
decision-making and policy creation. O’Neil offers riveting, real-life examples of “good intentions gone terribly wrong” to illustrate her points.

Drawing from these examples, participants in this study group for those 50 and above will discuss the assumptions underlying mathematical models, their inherent flaws, and their impact on peoples’ lives. This is NOT a math class!

Required text: O’Neil, Cathy. Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data
Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy. New York: Crown Publishers (2016). Please read the entire book prior to the first meeting.

Graduate school can be daunting. It’s often an extended exercise in not being told about the things you’d better know. The path to success is seldom smooth nor clear, populated by busy people and opaque processes. Alas, here is a forum for graduate students to hear from their senior colleagues about challenges in their academic journeys and how they overcame them. We asked an interdisciplinary group of these busy people to devote two hours of their time to answering your questions. Join us to gain insight from their hindsight!

Can the Internet be controlled? Should it be? How does the history of the Internet help predict what we should expect for its future? Is net neutrality a lost cause or something worth fighting for? The Internet continues to surprise us as a force for change and disruption in our daily lives and society at large. While it seems as though these significant disruptions are a recent phenomena, in reality we have seen these profound societal disruptions since the 1990s. In this Teach-Out, participants will learn how the Internet has affected human communication, the sharing and discovery of information, and social interactions. Discussions on current trends and potential ways the Internet will continue to affect society will also be explored, as well as how learners can empower their own productivity and impact in the ever-evolving landscape of the Internet.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

STS Speaker. Satisfied Callers: Police and Corporate Customer Service Technology in India (November 13, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/42860 42860-9672384@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 13, 2017 4:00pm

Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

State organizations are infamous for their insatiable appetites for documentation, but sometimes they refuse to produce documents. In India, police officers often refuse to register complaints and initiate proceedings. A recent project by the police in the Indian state of Punjab has aimed to eliminate this practice. The state hired a private corporation to run a call center to take emergency calls to the police. Young, middle-class, educated women staff the phones and act as case coordinators, dispatching police in locations across the state and monitoring the progress of cases through an elaborate database that logs communications from victims and police documents. Procedures embedded in corporation software translates the government procedure into the language of customer service.

How can regulators and market participants balance the benefits of FinTech against potential risks?

Federal Reserve Governor will deliver a keynote address at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Nearly 30 private sector innovators, public sector change makers, academic experts and senior government offiicals will join her over the two-day period.

This two-day event will bring together a wide range of researchers, policymakers, students, and
practitioners from various disciplines.

Financial technology, or FinTech, can be traced back to the introduction of the telegraph in the 1860s. Between then and the 1980s, most FinTech advancements were record-keeping and data systems found in the back offices of financial institutions, out of sight of the public. As internet technology became more available, however, FinTech evolved rapidly. Financial firms digitized their processes, and companies began introducing consumer-facing products such as online banking and PayPal.

Today, FinTech continues to disrupt and to evolve, not only in how financial products and services are delivered, but who delivers them. Regulators and market participants face challenges in
understanding and balancing the benefits of FinTech against potential risks. Innovation helps catalyze growth and new opportunities while generating new risks. Regulatory structures in place could fail to accommodate changes in the financial marketplace. Regulators may overreact to new technologies, stifling innovation and locking in old forms of doing business. At the same time, regulatory complacency can have disastrous results, permitting the buildup of systemic risk or widespread consumer harms.

This conference will explore methodologies that the private sector, researchers, and policymakers
can use harness the upside potential of financial innovation while reducing the downside risks.

No More Scantrons and Blue Books!: Electronic Exams in Canvas (December 1, 2017 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/46514 46514-10512732@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 1, 2017 10:00am

Electronic exams in Canvas offer several advantages over Scantron and Blue Book exams. For example, it is much easier to read student writing on an electronic exam. Today’s students are use to composing on a keyboard, so it no surprise their penmanship is not always legible. And because students are so proficient with their laptops, it is likely they will compose higher quality writing during an electronic exam. There are other benefits to using electronic exams in Canvas. The Speedgrader feature allows instructors to type responses more efficiently, providing substantive feedback when appropriate. Multiple choice and true/false type questions are graded automatically and sent directly to the gradebook. Exams and grades are preserved for future reference—for example, the next time a student asks for a letter of recommendation. Electronic exams can replace Scantrons and Blue Books, saving faculty and staff a substantial amount of time.

LSA has also added a security feature to Canvas that can lock down the testing environment and preserve academic integrity.

This workshop will introduce participants to the various question types and settings available in Canvas. Participants will also get to explore more advanced features in Canvas, including embedding images and media, setting timed exams and allowing for student accommodations, grading essay questions, and enabling the LockDown Browser. This session is recommended for anyone who wants to learn more the testing features in Canvas; therefore, it is suitable for both faculty and support staff.

Location: BBB
Organized By: Computer Science and Engineering Division

In the early years of the third millenium, most professors are still teaching in virtually the same way they were taught and their teachers were taught, stretching back centuries. This situation is likely to change, relatively soon. Technology is transforming (if not threatening to overwhelm) higher education, as MOOCs and online content become widely available. University students seeking to learn a topic who now have little if any choice are about to be presented with a vast array of choices. What student would not want to swap a tired professor writing slowly on a chalkboard for a well-produced series of videos and associated content, given by a world leader in the field? We are on the verge of a transformation on the scale of the transformation wrought by Gutenburg. This imminent change raises a host of fascinating and far-reaching questions.

In this talk, we describe a scalable model for teaching and learning based on a combination of studio-produced video lectures, innovative online content and assessment mechanisms, and an authoritative classic textbook. We initially proved this approach effective for teaching algorithms and data structures, the analysis of algorithms, and analytic combinatorics. More recently, we have published a new textbook in computer science, new studio-produced lectures, and online content that teachers and learners can use for a first-year course sequence in computer science that can stand alongside traditional first courses in physics, chemistry, economics, and other disciplines. Our model now enables us to reach millions of students and professionals around the world.

ABSTRACT: War is changing. It is being redefined by the connectivity and accessibility of today’s information age conveniences like smart phones and the internet. This has been enabled by rapid advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Arguably, ICT can fuel conflict, which can now play out in new virtual venues including the world of social media. The growing dependence of individuals and states on ICT exacerbates their vulnerabilities as does the interconnections and interdependence growing between nation-states. Traditionally, the definition of war between nation-states has been characterized by “armed conflict.” This is no longer the case. Information warfare (vs. traditional kinetic warfare) may be emerging as a more likely form. And, free and open societies appear to be at a disadvantage to some extent. In this talk, Dr. Porche will discuss how this new normal came about, including the technology and policies that have enabled it. The goal of this talk is to motivate the audience to think about how technology and technological progress can do the following: (i) mitigate the vulnerabilities that free and open societies have inherited and (ii) safeguard key values like privacy and free expression, which is what has helped foster the technological growth of the last few decades.

STS Speaker. Translating the Cell Biology of Aging? On the Importance of Choreographing Knowledge (February 12, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46008 46008-10353039@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 12, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

This talk draws on ethnographic study in a cell biology of ageing laboratory that explored how the articulation between basic and clinical research is being crafted. I first describe how knowledge-making in the cell biology of ageing relies on two distinct epistemic and material cultures: visualisation and quantification. I argue that the focus on ‘mechanisms’, ‘biomarkers’ or ‘clinical translation’ is related to how uncertainty is distributed across the two sets of skills, instruments, repertoires of valuation, and types of objectivity. I suggest that funders and policy makers’ emphasis on innovative applications restricts the movement – the careful choreography – between these two epistemic cultures. This has consequences for the field's ability not only to re-open questions about the relationship between ageing and senescence but also to re-imagine the innovation regime for ‘aging society’.

Tiago Moreira is Professor of Sociology at Durham University (UK). In the last 15 years or so, he has researched and published on the role of evidence in health care and on public controversies and activism on health care standards. More recently, his research has focused on contemporary sociotechnical articulations between ageing and health.

What is a bitcoin worth? (February 20, 2018 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/49463 49463-11465092@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 20, 2018 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: The Center for the Study of Complex Systems

THE EVENT WILL BE LIVE STREAMED ON LSA WEBSITE (link below). #UMichTalks #bitcoin

Fresh off her @MichiganEngineering Facebook Live Bitcoin discussion, Dr Shaw presents an illuminating discussion on the topic.

Abstract
The first posted exchange rate for Bitcoin in 2009 was around $0.001 (USD) = 1 BTC.  Just over eight years later, in mid-December 2017, it reached an inconceivable high of over $19,000 (USD) = 1 BTC, only to lose near 40% of its value the following month. Along with this dramatic ride in its price came a new wave of attention from mainstream audiences who brought with them a lot of questions - the two biggest being ‘What is Bitcoin?’ and ‘Why is it worth anything?’
 
This talk will offer some answers to these questions. The first part will use a computational modeling approach to help clarify how it is that this “something out of nothing” quality can arise out of social valuation processes. The second part will then combine information from the documented history of Bitcoin’s development, venture capital funding trends, and text scraped from thousands of news articles to explore the role different groups’ definitions of Bitcoin have played in constituting its current level of value and what this might entail for cryptocurrency’s future.

Title: “The Leaking Subject: Arab Culture in the Digital Age”
Date: Thursday March 8, 2018 @ 4:00
Location: 1022 South Thayer Building
Followed by reception with refreshments

In recent years, Arab activists have confronted authoritarian regimes both on the street and online, leaking videos and exposing atrocities, and demanding political rights. Tarek El-Ariss situates these critiques of power within a pervasive culture of scandal and leaks and shows how cultural production and political change in the contemporary Arab world are enabled by digital technology yet emerge from traditional cultural models.

Focusing on a new generation of activists and authors from Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula, El-Ariss connects WikiLeaks to The Arabian Nights, Twitter to mystical revelation, cyberattacks to pre-Islamic tribal raids, and digital activism to the affective scene-making of Arab popular culture. He shifts the epistemological and historical frameworks from the postcolonial condition to the digital condition, and shows how new media challenge the novel as the traditional vehicle for political consciousness and intellectual debate.

Theorizing the rise of “the leaking subject” who reveals, contests, and writes through chaotic yet highly political means, El-Ariss investigates the digital consciousness, virality, and affective forms of knowledge that jolt and inform the public and that draw readers in to the unfolding fiction of scandal.

His talk is based on his forthcoming book Leaks Hacks and Scandals: Arab Culture in the Digital Age (Princeton University Press, Fall 2018).

Tarek El-Ariss is Associate Professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Dartmouth College. His books include Trials of Arab Modernity: Literary Affects and the New Political and The Arab Renaissance: A Bilingual Anthology of the Nahda. Other areas of his scholarship include Arabic travel writing and the war novel, gender and sexuality studies, and sci-fi and utopia studies, psychoanalysis, deconstruction and affect theory.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: International Youth and Students for Social Equality

The United States government, in collaboration with Google, Facebook, Twitter and other information technology corporations, is implementing massive restrictions on Internet access to socialist, antiwar and progressive websites. Capitalist governments in Europe and throughout the world are enacting similar repressive policies.

The ruling class launched this desperate campaign in a desperate response to growing mass opposition to social inequality and war. Workers and young people around the world are using the Internet to coordinate struggles and share information outside of the control of the corporate media.

The World Socialist Web Site, which has been a principal target of the censorship campaign, is leading a fight against the greatest attack on free speech since the Second World War. In January, it called for an International Coalition of Socialist, Antiwar and Progressive Websites Against Internet Censorship to expose what is taking place and coordinate opposition.

This meeting will explore the political context of efforts to censor the Internet, examine the pretexts used to justify the suppression of free speech (e.g., “fake news”), and discuss a political strategy to mobilize the working class in defense of democratic rights.

Please join us for a one-day gathering of lightning talks and networking focused around digital studies research broadly conceived. This conference will feature faculty, graduate students, digital humanities and rhetoric experts, and other stakeholders in Digital Studies at the University of Michigan, showcasing the wide variety of digital engagement on campus. It is open to practitioners, researchers, and all who work in a critical relation to the digital. Catered lunch and refreshments will be provided for all attendees.

Keynote talk by Kathleen Fitzpatrick, MSU
“Generous Thinking: Working in Public.”

Working in public, and with the public, can enable scholars to build vital, sustainable research communities, both within their fields, with other scholars in different fields, and with folks off-campus who care about the kinds of work that we do. By finding ways to connect with readers and writers beyond our usual circles of experts, in a range of different registers, and in ways that move beyond enabling them to listen to us to instead allow for meaningful response, we can create the possibilities for far more substantial public participation in and engagement with the humanities, and with the academy more broadly. We can build programs and networks and platforms that do not just bring the university to the world, but that also involve the world in the university.

Politicians and Social Media in the Global South (April 14, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/51880 51880-12274528@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 14, 2018 9:00am
Location: North Quad
Organized By: School of Information

A one-day seminar workshop to examine contemporary scholarship on political social media in the Global South. The workshop will feature a mix of talks and small workgroup sessions to explore these topics, with specific attention to politicians and political collectives.

In the last decade, politicians in various parts of the world have invested in social media campaigns, including in settings where a relatively small proportion of the voting public is actually online. Leaders may use social media for a range of reasons including to actively court constituents, to present a narrative on their political program to the international community, or to use the affordances of social media to frame the agenda on a specific issue.

Social media can also present a means for politicians to bypass the free professional media corps to directly speak to the electorate, and exercise greater control over the story crafted about them. After an early phase of enthusiasm on the scope of social media to bring decentralized power to the people, we increasingly have a balanced view of the potential and risks of online behavior for democratic societies.

Today, we see a social media environment in which a vast majority of major national politicians in countries throughout the world build social media presences for a diverse mix of these reasons. What do these developments mean for the future of political campaigning? What tactics have worked? How is the online strategy impacted by ideology, national economic priorities, or political structure?

Reputation has long been prized. In its traditional form, people who know something about you use this knowledge to form opinions. Their collective sense of who you are—your reputation—affects how people treat you: it shapes all of your social interactions.

In today's world, additional knowledge about you resides in "big data" collected by individuals, organizations, companies, and governments. Increasingly, data about you are being processed by algorithms to draw conclusions: to form something like opinions.

This combination of data and algorithms creates a new digital reputation which increasingly shapes your life, from recommending purchases and suggesting friends to prompting actions based solely on your digital footprint.

Who gathers, owns, and controls this data? Where do they get it, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people, processed by algorithms, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?

In this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy, surveillance, reputation, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.

Who gathers, owns, and controls this data? Where do they get it, and how? How do they use it? Is it shared with people, processed by algorithms, used to construct your choices? What should we think about all of this?

In this Teach-Out we will consider questions of privacy, surveillance, reputation, and identity using a case study approach. Learners will hear from experts and engage in conversation using real-world scenarios across multiple topic areas.

This event will be live webstreamed. Check fordschool.umich.edu just before the event for viewing details.
Join the conversation: #policytalks

In her dissent from the Federal Communications Commission's May 2018 decision to end net neutrality protections, Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel wrote, "The FCC is on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of the American people. It deserves to have its handiwork revisited, reexamined, and ultimately reversed. I raised my voice to fight for internet freedom. I’ll keep raising a ruckus to support net neutrality and I hope others will too.”

In this Policy Talks @ the Ford School event, Rosenworcel, a lawyer with over two decades of experience in communications policy and public service, will explore the issues in conversation with University of Michigan's associate general counsel Jack Bernard.

The Enigmatic KIME: Time Complexity in Data Science (September 21, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54407 54407-13581110@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 21, 2018 4:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Abstract: We will provide a constructive definition of “Big Biomedical/Health Data” and provide examples of the challenges, algorithms, processes, and tools necessary to manage, aggregate, harmonize, process, and interpret such data. In data science, time complexity frequently manifests as sampling incongruency, heterogeneous scales, and intricate dependencies. We will present the concept of 2D complex-time (kime) and illustrate how the kime-order (time) and kime-direction (phase) affect advanced predictive analytics and scientific inference based on Big Biomedical Data. Kime-representation solves the unidirectional arrows of time problems, e.g., psychological arrow of time reflects the irrevocable past to future flow and thermodynamic arrow of time reflecting the relentless growth of entropy. Albeit kime-phase angles may not always be directly observable, we will illustrate how they can be estimated and used to improve the resulting space-kime modeling, trend forecasting, and predictive data analytics. Simulated data, clinical observations (e.g., neurodegenerative disorders), and multisource census-like datasets (e.g., UK Biobank) will be used to demonstrate time-complexity and inferential-uncertainty.

Statistical Models for Analyzing Dynamic Social Network Data (September 28, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54423 54423-13583297@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 28, 2018 4:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Abstract: Due in part to the ubiquity of online social networks these days, interest in analyzing social network data has spread beyond its traditional home in the social sciences to many other disciplines including physics, computer science, statistics, and engineering. A topic of significant importance in social network analysis is the creation of statistical models for social network data. Many social network data involve relations between people observed at multiple points in time and are thus dynamic network data. In this talk, I introduce several statistical models for analyzing two types of dynamic network data. Discrete-time network data, also known as network panel data, represent the structure of the social network at regular time intervals, e.g. over each week or each month.Continuous-time network data, also known as timestamped network or relational event data, are collected with finer granularity on the time and at irregular time intervals. I demonstrate how these models can be used to infer network structures and how they evolve over time on several dynamic social network data sets, including a network of physical proximities between people at a university and a network of wall posts between users on Facebook.
