In this session we will review some of the challenges in creating gender inclusive categories in surveys using real world examples. Key issues include:1) identifying correlations with non-binary gender data (what if your sample has 1 trans person and everyone else is cis male/female, for example?) and 2) challenges related to time order with transgender populations (what it means to be visibly transgender in relation to discrimination can vary so much over the life course, for example). We will also discuss how researchers, particularly grad students and undergrads, are using social media to target distribution of surveys to transgender populations. The methodological implications of these transparent dialogues between researcher and researched populations are fascinating. This topic may actually be the most controversial between positivist-leaning and cultural sociologist attendees. We look forward to audience participation on this one!

John H. Thompson
Distinguished Institute Fellow at the University of Virginia and former Director of the U.S. Census Bureau
John H. Thompson is a Distinguished Institute Fellow with the Biocomplexity Institute and Initiative at the University of Virginia. He also is currently an independent consultant with a focus on survey methodology, executive leadership, the Federal Statistical System, and decennial census. Thompson was director of the U.S. Census Bureau, and most recently, the Executive Director of the Council of Professional Associations on Federal Statistics, an organization whose focus is to advocate for the production and use of high-quality statistics to support good governance and economic growth. Thompson is nationally recognized for his innovative leadership, significant impact on government and academic research, and vision to advance excellence in federal statistics and modernize the federal statistical system.

Thompson spent close to 10 years in two separate, distinctive executive leadership positions with the U.S. Census Bureau. From 1997 to 2002, he was the senior career executive responsible for all aspects of the 2000 Decennial Census and spearheaded the transformation of large-scale complex surveys through innovation. As the executive leader of the 2000 Decennial Census, the U.S. government’s largest peacetime mobilization, he managed a budget of $6.5 billion and a workforce of more than 500,000 people. He received accolades for his outstanding work from the National Academy of Sciences Panel evaluating the census, among others. From 2013 to 2017, Thompson was the director of the Census Bureau where he successfully worked with the executive and legislative branches of the federal government, including the White House and Congress, to transform the Bureau into a forward-looking 21st century statistical agency. His accomplishments include a redesign of the 2020 Decennial Census to achieve great efficiencies through the use of modern geospatial tools, the Internet, and mobile technology; and implementation of a research program to support mission critical activities – both of which have had a profound impact on the federal statistical system.

Thompson was President and Executive Vice President of the (National Opinion Research Center) NORC at the University of Chicago, a national nonprofit organization that conducts high-quality social science research in the public interest. Between 2002 and 2012, he led the organization to nearly 50 percent growth in revenue, implemented new initiatives to improve and advance federal statistics, and oversaw major research projects, including the National Immunization Survey conducted on behalf of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Thompson is a fellow of the American Statistical Association, a member of the 2013 Virginia Tech College of Science Hall of Distinction inaugural class, and received the Presidential Rank Award for Meritorious Executive in 2001. The Department of Commerce recognized his cumulative impact on federal statistics with the bronze medal in 1988, silver medal in 1998, and gold medal in 2000.

You’re Not Listening, But It’s Never Too Late to Learn (September 23, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/75543 75543-19519142@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 23, 2020 10:00am

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

In her new book, You’re Not Listening – What You’re Missing and Why It Matters, Kate Murphy, Times columnist, says we don’t know how to listen and it’s harming us. “When was the last time you listened to someone? Really listened, without thinking about what you wanted to say next, glancing down at your phone, or jumping in to offer your opinion? And when was the last time someone really listened to you, was so attentive to what you were saying and whose response was so perceptive that you felt truly understood”?

To write this book, the author spent hundreds of hours interviewing people whose job is listening intensively; including spies, priests, psychotherapists, bartenders, hostage negotiators, hairdressers, air traffic controllers, radio producers, and focus group moderators and delving into the academic research related to listening. But the author also presents many ways that we can improve our listening and offers assurance that it’s never too late to learn. Instructor Mike Murray has spent many years as a psychotherapist, a “professional listener”. Please read the Introduction and Chapter 1 in order to prepare for our first meeting.

The study group will meet on Wednesdays from September 23 through November 11. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

ICPSR and the Census Bureau have initiated a joint project to create the largest longitudinal population database in the United States. The Decennial Census Digitization and Linkage project (DCDL) will digitize and link individual records across every census since 1940. The resulting data resource will revolutionize our understanding of human behavior and life in the United States. Staff from ICPSR and the Census Bureau will describe the project's innovative methods of data rescue, record linkage, and restricted data access.

Organized By: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research

The National Neighborhood Data Archive (NaNDA) is a repository of neighborhood contextual measures -- place-based data that quantifies the physical, demographic, economic, and/or social environment -- used to understand the role of neighborhood context and resources for population health. Most NaNDA contextual measures are created using publicly available data, such as from the Census Bureau. So why would a researcher use NaNDA instead of going directly to the primary data to obtain or create their own contextual measures? In this session, we will discuss case studies from the NaNDA repository that augment and recombine publicly available data to create novel measures to study the role of neighborhoods for health and health inequities

Race and racism will continue to be topics investigated by qualitative research but uncritically explored as factors impacting the inquiry process in and of itself resulting in both being largely invisible and normalized. Critical discussions of race and racism at the interstice of the inquiry process are largely absent but race still matters because we exist in an environment rife with anti-Black racism and White privilege and as human beings we maintain ontological commitments that influence what we study and how. This session will explore the notion of ontological commitments, what they are, why we need to be attentive to them when researching without numbers.

Our study examines trends of racially disproportionate assignment of Black and Hispanic students to less experienced teachers than their white counterparts. Specifically, our analysis shows statistically significant trends in the assignment of less experienced teachers to Black and Hispanic students in middle school math over several years. This study is the first in education to measure the cumulative pattern of racially disproportionate student-teacher assignments over time. We introduce the Cumulative Deficit index as a measure of cumulative patterns of racially disproportionate student-teacher assignment. We concluded student race is correlated with exposure to more experienced teachers over time.

In our data-driven world, what are the best ways to engage librarians who are hesitant to work with data-related content and questions? Can we? Must we? Should we? Critical data literacy will be the starting place for the presentation, followed by suggestions for how to engage “non-data” librarians with data training and activities in the library setting. We’ll discuss the issue of how feasible it is to expect universal data savvy, and how to empower librarians to choose their own approaches to the issue, both in the workplace and in their career planning. Finally, we’ll discuss training approaches and availability specifically, and attendees will leave with ideas for a plan of action for future data training in their libraries.

Despite liberalization of cannabis laws in 47 states, ongoing federal prohibition makes it difficult to obtain data from users and producers in different locales to better understand their experiences. As more states legalize cannabis markets, regulators must have access to actionable data to make informed decisions regarding product labeling and how to provide ownership access for communities disproportionately impacted by the drug war. The COVID-19 pandemic has also generated questions about how use patterns have been impacted by shelter-in-place orders. The purpose of this session is to share highlights from cannabis research using survey primary and secondary data to answer these questions about cannabis use and policy impacts in different contexts.

This presentation will include:
- Making Sense of Negative Experiences with Cannabis Edibles: Panel Survey Results
- Cannabis Use and Covid-19
- Cannabis Social Equity Programs

Summer Institute faculty and staff will first provide a brief history of the Summer Institute, and then turn to a discussion of the program. Topics include many aspects of survey research including the fundamental principles involved in drawing samples, designing questionnaires, data collection, and design-based analysis of survey data. The SRC Summer Institute is unique in comparison to the ICPSR Summer Program in terms of its focus on the process of research design and data collection (as opposed to analyzing data that have already been collected).

Beyond the Nuclear Family: Children and Shared Living Arrangements (September 28, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77290 77290-19832115@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 28, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Social Research

Contact PSC Office for Zoom details.

Children's living arrangements are diverse and complex, and a robust body of research has documented links between living arrangements, economic wellbeing, and child outcomes. Despite increasing recognition of the diversity in children's living arrangements most research continues to focus on the nuclear family. This talk draws on a number of published and papers in progress that focus on shared living arrangements of children in the U.S. - examining the people children live with beyond their nuclear family. I will describe trends in household extension over time and across the child's life course showing differences by key demographic groups and patterns of coresidence. I find that although shared living arrangements among children have become more common over the last 20 years, this increase is nearly entirely driven by an increase in multigenerational/three-generation family households (grandparent, parent and child). In 1980, 5% of children lived in a multigenerational household and today nearly 10% do likewise. I'll present results of decomposition analyses that examine the factors that have led to this large increase. By understanding the diverse nature of children's living arrangements and how these arrangements are changing over time, we can better consider how public policies and programs might better support children's development.

BIO:
Natasha Pilkauskas is an assistant professor of public policy at the Ford School. Pilkauskas' research considers how social policy might improve the developmental and life trajectories of low-income children. Much of her research focuses on the living arrangements of low-income children, especially those who live with grandparents. Past and current projects also investigate the role of family/kin transfers in helping families make ends meet; links between maternal employment and school outcomes; the effectiveness of the Earned Income Tax Credit; and the effects of the Great Recession on low-income households. Pilkauskas received a Master of Public Policy from Harvard University and a PhD in social welfare policy from Columbia University.

Today’s Racial Divides: How Has Education Failed Us? (October 14, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75541 75541-19519140@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 14, 2020 1:00pm

Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption and Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative, says, “The greatest evil of American slavery was not involuntary servitude, but rather the narrative of racial differences we created to legitimate slavery.” In this political era, racial divisions are showing up in starker terms, some of that due to what happens or does not happen in education around race, class, culture, geographic differences, and economic realities.

For most of the 20th century and into the 21st, educational lessons and materials were and are woefully inadequate in explaining these racial divisions. Federal prison populations have great diversity, representing all kinds of people here and around the world. Instructor Judy Wenzel’s high school students at the federal prison in Milan provided wisdom and valuable lessons for the rest of us. This round table discussion will focus on peoples’ own educational experiences regarding racial issues and on ways education could be improved—and on ways to bridge our divides.

The study group will be held on Wednesday, October 14.
Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

Location:
Organized By: Students of Michigan (CSG)

Event Sponsors: ACLU, UM Flint, Latinx Technology Center

A day of action is a city-wide literature drop campaign to inform Flint residents on their voting rights for the 2020 general election. Organized volunteers will be spread throughout the community to address historic voter suppression and intimidation tactics. Due to Flint’s historically low voter turnout rate, it is important that we are active in encouraging ALL people to exercise their constitutional responsibility and vote.

Saturday, October 17th
10 am to 2 pm

We have four sites volunteers will be assigned to:
Latinx Technology and Community Center ​- *2101 Lewis St. Flint, MI 48506*
Boys and Girls Club of Greater Flint - *​3701 N Averill Ave, Flint, MI 48506*
Flint Development Center - ​ ​*4121 Martin Luther King Ave, Flint, MI 48505*
Sylvester Broom Empowerment Village - ​*4119 N. Saginaw Flint, MI 48505*

The Flint First Initiative ​was created to extend a strong student leadership presence in the community beyond The University of Michigan-Flint campus. The goal of the Initiative is to register and inform a historically disenfranchised community affected by voter suppression and systemic racism.

For our second phase of the initiative, we are mobilizing 300 volunteers to participate in a door-to-door literature drop campaign to inform residents of their voting rights, on ​Saturday, October 17, 2020.​ The target goal for this day is 21,000 households. There will be guest speakers who are elected officials from local, state and federal governments.

We investigate levels and trends in literacy among American Indians in the United States. Using 1900-1930 decennial census data, we document literacy for the 1900 through 1930 period and for birth cohorts from 1830 through 1920. We thus provide for American Indians a large-scale picture of the history of literacy. We document the pace and extent of Indian literacy from very low for the birth cohorts of the early 1800s to fairly universal for the cohorts of the early 1900s. We also demonstrate that the increases in Indian literacy were closely related to birth cohort, with successive new birth cohorts having higher levels of literacy. We found little evidence that increases in literacy from 1900 to 1930 happened because adults increased their literacy after the school years and as they matured across the adult life course. We also document important gender differences in Native American literacy, with the proportion literate being lower for women than for men, but with the gender gap decreasing in later birth cohorts. There were also substantial literacy inequalities across geographical regions of the country-ranging from 19 to 74 percent literate across regions in 1900. The trajectories of literacy attainment also varied across regions in interesting ways. We also document that Indian literacy was higher among those living in urban areas, those more integrated into the Euro-American community, and those with Euro-American ancestry.

MEETING LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95443347994

Abstract: Can conversational dynamics—the nature of the back and forth between people—predict outcomes of social interactions? This talk will describe efforts on developing an artificial intuition about ongoing conversations, by modeling the subtle pragmatic and rhetorical choices of the participants.

The resulting framework distills emerging conversational patterns that can point to the nature of the social relation between interlocutors, as well as to the future trajectory of this relation. For example, I will discuss how interactional dynamics can be used to foretell whether an online conversation will stay on track or eventually derail into personal attacks, providing community moderators several hours of prior notice before an anti-social event is likely to occur.

Healthcare and health remain unconscionably inequitable. This year, the disproportionate toll the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on those historically least well-served by our health system, has highlighted the pressing societal challenge of health disparities.

Beyond simply striving to do no harm, Learning Health Systems (LHSs) have the potential to serve as forces for justice in healthcare and health; indeed, they can be powerful drivers of diversity, equity, and inclusion. LHSs are anchored in multi-stakeholder consensus Core Values that explicitly incorporate principles such as inclusiveness, transparency, and accessibility. Their proximal goal is "to efficiently and equitably serve the learning needs of all participants, as well as the overall public good."

The October 2020 LHS Collaboratory will share lessons from health advocates working on the front lines to make healthcare and health more equitable. These thought leaders and do-ers will illuminate the transformative power of LHSs - and the diverse and inclusive communities of interest that are collaborating to realize them.

Dr. Kazanjian is also Professor of History at the University of Michigan, where he teaches on the history of epidemics and the history of sexually transmitted diseases. He has written extensively about the history of AIDS, syphilis, commercial botulism, plague, and the development of bacteriology in America.

Dr. Kazanjian will deliver his lecture, “The Persistence of Contagious Diseases.” By the later 20th century, it had become common for public health officials and lay writers to envision a future in which epidemic diseases had been eliminated. The appearance of the new deadly disease that would eventually be known as AIDS in 1981, however, challenged their confident vision. The potent antiretroviral therapies (ART) introduced in 1996 enabled individuals receiving treatment to survive a full lifespan. By 2014, a global UNAIDS campaign sought to “end AIDS as a global health threat” by 2030” by maximizing the distribution of ART to infected people. The UNAIDS campaign is conceptually similar to earlier 20th century programs that sought to end syphilis by expanding specific therapy. The failure of these syphilis campaigns, together with the realization that today’s efforts to end AIDS is falling short of their 2020 milestones, however, raise uncertainties about whether the ongoing UNAIDs campaign will succeed. Socioeconomic and behavioral factors have hindered the biomedical campaigns to eliminate syphilis and AIDS. To be effective, scientific public health campaigns must also address how to rectify the socioeconomic conditions and human behaviors that vex elimination efforts and lead to emerging epidemics like AIDS and Covid-19. Epidemic diseases, along with efforts launched to contain them, have been and continue to be an inescapable part of our existence.

Please join us for this engaging and timely online lecture from one of the nation’s premiere infectious disease experts.

Goldenberg Endowed Director of Michigan in Washington. Her research focuses on how collective action builds social goods and the role that government plays in that collaboration. Current work includes: robust system design, especially of federalism; states as innovators in federal systems; out of district campaign contributions; how culture affects the way people respond to laws and norms; transboundary water system governance; and governance to support human flourishing. Her book The Robust Federation: Principles of Design was awarded the APSA Martha Derthick Best Book Award in recognition of its enduring contribution to the study of federalism. In 2020, she was named APSA Daniel Elazar Distinguished Federalism Scholar.

Vincent Hutchings is a Research Professor in the Center for Political Studies and Professor in the Department of Political Science. Professor Hutchings’ general interests include public opinion, elections, voting behavior, and African American politics.

Trends in Absolute Income Mobility in North America and Europe (October 26, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77315 77315-19838096@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 26, 2020 12:00pm

We compute rates of absolute upward income mobility for the 1960-1987 birth cohorts in eight countries in North America and Europe. Rates and trends in absolute mobility varied dramatically across countries during this period: the US and Canada saw upward mobility rates near 50% for recent cohorts, while countries like Norway and Finland saw sustained rates above 70%. Decomposition analysis suggests that differences in the marginal income distributions, especially the amount of cross-cohort income inequality, were the primary driver of differing mobility rates across countries. We also demonstrate that absolute mobility rates can be accurately estimated without linked parent-child data.

Modeling the Perceived Truthfulness of Public Statements on COVID-19: A New Model for Pairwise Comparisons of Objects with Multidimensional Latent Attributes (November 10, 2020 10:50am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79205 79205-20231446@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 10, 2020 10:50am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

What is more important for how individuals perceive the truthfulness of statements about COVID-19: a) the objective truthfulness of the statements, or b) the partisanship of the individual and the partisanship of the people making the statements? To answer this question, we develop a novel model for pairwise comparisons data that allows for a richer structure of both the latent attributes of the objects being compared and rater-specific perceptual differences than standard models. We use the model to analyze survey data that we collected in the summer of 2020. This survey asked respondents to compare the truthfulness of pairs of statements about COVID-19. These statements were taken from the fact-checked statements on https://www.politifact.com. We thus have an independent measure of the truthfulness of each statement. We find that the actual truthfulness of a statement explains very little of the variability in individuals’ perceptions of truthfulness. Instead, we find that the partisanship of the speaker and the partisanship of the rater account for the majority of the variation in perceived truthfulness, with statements made by co-partisans being viewed as more truthful.

BIO:
Ryan Brown's research interests span multiple fields of applied microeconomics including development economics, labor economics, health economics, economic demography, and political economy.

Ryan's work has primarily focused on applying econometric techniques to population representative data in both developed and developing country settings, to examine how changes in the social, physical, and/or economic environment can have a persistent impact on health, preferences, and human capital accumulation. Recently, I have also begun to explore the relationship between the success of women competing for positions in entry-level positions and its subsequent impact on the gender gap at the top of the career ladder.

PSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Social Work

Dr. Shawna J. Lee will describe working with Healthy Start programs throughout the state to develop, implement, and evaluate a father engagement home visitation program. The goal of the father home visitation program was to increase fathers' participation in Healthy Start home visits and to increase fathers' knowledge of infant health and developmental milestones. The Healthy Start program targets low-income mothers in Detroit, Flint, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Lansing, and through the Inter-tribal Council of Michigan. The Healthy Start fatherhood program provided father-friendly parent education and home visitation by a fatherhood-focused community health worker.

This intermediate-level webinar is approved for one synchronous interactive continuing education contact hour.

ISR Insights Speaker Series is a series focusing on the research happening at ISR.

Jason Owen-Smith (Executive Director, Institute for Research on Innovation & Science (IRIS); Executive Director, Research Analytics; Professor of Sociology, University of Michigan; Research Professor, Institute for Social Research)

Wednesday, December 2 at 2pm EST: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91211224326

America's most research intensive universities represent about 3% of higher education institutions, but they conduct 90% of the nation's academic research. Drawing on his recent book, Research Universities and the Public Good: Discovery for an Uncertain Future and the work of ISR's Institute for Research on Innovation & Science (IRIS), which he directs, Jason Owen-Smith will explain how these unique and essential organizations serve as an important form of "social insurance" in the face of an uncertain future. Universities like U of M are uniquely able to address "unknown unknowns," problems and opportunities we do not know we have yet. No other sector or type of organization accomplishes is equipped to serve this purpose in our society. COVID-19 puts special pressures on the academic research mission that come after more than a decade of declining public support. The pandemic and its effects jeopardize the US Academic Research Enterprise (US-ARE) and with it the future health, wealth, and well-being of our nation and the world. Drawing on unique data science resources developed at IRIS, and 20 years of work on the economic and social value of research and innovation, Owen-Smith highlights the challenges and explains how they might be addressed by federal and state policy-makers, the leaders and faculty of institutions like ours.

You're invited to join our senior Social Theory & Practice (STP) majors as they present their thesis research on topics ranging from sustainable food in MDining to dialectical steps toward non-capitalism, Tuesday December 8 from 4:10 - 5:30pm at https://umich.zoom.us/j/97960464467.

The Residential College STP major supports students in developing the analytical and practical skills necessary for active engagement in the world and for building careers that promote equality and responsible citizenship. Students learn theories, methods, and strategies that enable them to understand and critique social structures and processes, and choose a focus of study that can encompass sociology, political science, history, anthropology, economics, education, environmental justice, sustainable agriculture, geography, and psychology to approach current issues in U.S. society and the global environment. Like our students, no two STP major plans are alike.

Abstract: Brazil is one of the most unequal countries in the world. Brazil is also the country most affected by the recent Zika epidemic and is an epicenter of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. In this talk, I will introduce DeCodE, funded by NICHD, and the first panel survey on fertility and reproductive health in Brazil, tracking women’s childbearing intentions, desires and outcomes during the Zika and Covid-19 public health emergencies. Combining analysis from in-depth interviews and baseline survey data collected in April-September 2020, this talk will uncover women’s social and reproductive vulnerabilities during the pandemic. Results show that inequities are exacerbated and that women socially exposed to Zika during the epidemic intend to postpone and forego childbearing. Overall findings suggest that there are clear spillover effects across successive novel infectious disease emergencies that are relevant in every country Zika and Covid-19 have touched.

Bio: Letícia Marteleto is a social scientist with expertise in social demography, social stratification and reproductive health. Marteleto’s scholarship examines inequalities in fertility, reproductive processes and educational attainment, among others. Marteleto’s research has been funded by several foundations. She is currently the PI of DeCodE, funded by NICHD, and the first panel survey on reproductive health in Brazil, tracking women’s fertility desires, intentions and outcomes during the Zika and Covid-19 public health crises. Marteleto’s work has appeared in flagship journals in sociology, demography and other disciplines, such as Demography, Population and Development Review and Social Forces. Professor Marteleto holds a PhD in Sociology from The University of Michigan and is currently Professor of Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin.

Dr. Merritt’s work aims to inform both local stakeholders and academic audiences. Her applied, community-engaged research analyzes local trends and evaluates programs related to social service provision, equitable access and experiences, and systemic sources of poverty. Her academic work assesses how legislation and organizational practices contribute to disparate outcomes, especially for racial/ethnic minorities. Topics addressed by these projects include housing and homelessness, family financial stability, and criminal justice, among others. https://www.in.gov/fssa/thehub/4602.htm

What’s in a number? In the case of the U.S. Social Security number, the now-familiar nine digits hold a fascinating story about modern citizenship, governance and data. Starting in 1936, the SSN was affixed to more and more American lives, spurring new uses of punch cards and filing systems as well as novel dilemmas about personal data. This talk gives a brief history of the SSN and what it reveals about the changing state of “our” information.

Speaker: Sarah Igo, acclaimed author and historian
Presentation: “Nine Digits: A Brief History of Data, Privacy and the SSN”
Webinar: Thursday, January 28 • 4 – 5 p.m.
