Purpose and Power in Corporations: Are More Democratic Forms of Organizing Better Suited to the Pursuit of Multiple Purposes? (October 7, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/98297 98297-21796458@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 7, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Corporations are increasingly expected to pursue social and environmental purpose in addition to profit, but we still do not know much about which forms of organizing may be best suited to enable them to rise to this challenge. In this paper, we ask: which distributions of decision-making power are better suited to sustaining the pursuit of multiple purposes in corporations? To investigate this question, we present a framework of four ideal type forms of organizing that vary along two key dimensions: purpose and power. We conceptualize organizations as varying in whether they pursue a single purpose vs. multiple purposes, and in whether decision-making power is concentrated at the top (oligarchical) vs. more democratically distributed amongst workers. We then integrate organization theory and democratic theory to present three theoretical propositions. Specifically, we advance that more democratic forms of organizing will make it easier to sustain the pursuit of multiple purposes over the long term, and we propose that formal spaces of deliberation and deliberative culture help facilitate the success of such democratic forms of organizing. Our paper contributes to theorizing at the intersection of power and purpose, two lines of work that have until now evolved mostly on separate tracks.

1:00 pm: Session 4 — Breaking Waves: Research Around, Through, and With Water Panelists: Heidi Kumao, Kelly Murdoch-Kitt + Denielle Emans, David Porter, and Cedric Taylor

Breaking Waves surveys research and pedagogy across the University of Michigan at the intersection of water, world-building, and environmental justice. Panelists will discuss how water is used in teaching and storytelling to repair broken relationships with water and how water subjects are used as pedagogical tools. 

3:00 pm: Session 5 — Water Futures: Decolonization, Access, Systems, and Community Panelists: Daniel Brown, Amber Hasan and Shea Cobb, Branko Kerkez, and Andrea Pierce Moderator: María Arquero de Alarcón

Water Futures explores our understanding of water — as a vital resource for the life of a community, a reservoir of ecological memory, and a public trust or a fundamental human right — as we try to envision creative solutions that can change the course of water’s troubled history. Beyond the strict temporality of crisis and response that so often frames recent public narratives about environmental justice, how can artists, academics, and activists help recontextualize the urgency of ecological action to achieve an equitable water future?

4:30 pm: Closing Remarks

Symposium events are free and open to all. Please contact Jennifer Junkermeier-Khan, Stamps Gallery at jenjkhan@​umich.​edu for additional information or with questions.

The Body, Politics, and STEM: Examining Post-Roe Impacts on You (October 11, 2022 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99731 99731-21798590@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 11, 2022 6:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Program

In light of the recent decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs. Wade, join us for a panel discussion event to explore the implications of this decision on the STEM community.

Presented by the STEM Trifecta, a collaborative comprising the Women in Science and Engineering Residence Program (WISE RP), the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Program, and the College of Engineering’s Office of Culture, Community and Equity (OCCE). The STEM Trifecta was established to elevate the overlapping goals and outcomes of each respective unit, while creating new initiatives and outreach to support minoritized communities pursuing science, engineering, technology and mathematics at the University of Michigan and beyond.

In particular, we want to create a safe space for students to learn about the science, policy, and real-world impact of this decision–at the personal level as college undergraduate and graduate students–but also as emerging STEM professionals. We hope to create space for understanding, and empower individual and collective action to discover how one can use their spheres of influence to effect change. Finally, we are hoping to positively promote the benefits of voting, and you will be able to register to vote during the event.


Featured panelists:

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: U-M Alum, Ford Adjunct Faculty, MD/MPH

Mrs. Nicole Wells Stallworth: Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan

Dr. Lisa Kane-Low: U-M Nursing Faculty, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies in the School of Nursing, Certified Nurse Midwife

Explainability Is Not the Solution to Structural Challenges to AI in Medicine

Explainability is often treated as a necessary condition for ethical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in Medicine. In this brief talk I survey some of the structural challenges facing the development and deployment of effective AI systems in health care to illustrate some of the limitations to explainability in addressing these challenges. This talk builds on prior work (London 2019, 2022) to illustrate how ambitions for AI in health care likely require significant changes to key aspects of health systems.

On the Inextricability of Explainability from Ethics: Explainable AI does not Ethical AI Make

Explainability is embedded into a plethora of legal, professional, and regulatory guidelines as it is often presumed that an ethical use of AI will require explainable algorithms. There is considerable controversy, however, as to whether post hoc explanations are computationally reliable, their value for decision-making, and the relational implications of their use in shared decision-making. This talk will explore the literature across these domains and argue that while post hoc explainability may be a reasonable technical goal, it should not be offered status as a moral standard by which AI use is judged to be ‘ethical.’

Navigating a Post-Roe America: Insights, lessons, and reflections after a decade leading in the reproductive justice movement (October 20, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96937 96937-21793585@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 20, 2022 4:00pm

**THIS EVENT WILL NOW ONLY BE PRESENTED ON ZOOM WEBINAR**

In the wake of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Americans everywhere are strategizing and mobilizing to protest and challenge the abolishment of the right to abortion care. These actions are necessary and important, though it is often forgotten that even when Roe was in place, abortion care for many women still was not adequate.

This talk will examine the realities of reproductive health care for women before the end of Roe, where we are now, in the post-Roe era, and what strategies we need to employ going forward in anticipation of the erosion of even more rights.

About the speaker:
Yamani Yansá Hernandez has been working at the vanguard of the sexual and reproduc­tive health, rights, and justice movements for the last decade. From 2011-2015, she was the Executive Director of the Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health (ICAH), a reproductive justice organization focusing on adolescent sexual health, rights, and identities. Most re­cently, Ms. Hernandez was the first Black Executive Director of the National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF), overseeing the membership, technical assistance, and advocacy for over 80 grassroots organizations that fund abortion and build the cultural and politi­cal power to ensure that the legal right to abortion remains a reality. Under her leader­ship, the staff increased from 12 to 60; the budget grew from $2 million to $20 million; and the organization cultivated an approach to their work based on an ethos of justice and care. Ms. Hernandez holds a B.S. from Cornell University and an M. Arch. from the University of Washington, and is currently writing a memoir.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Barger Leadership Institute

On Thursday, October 20, the BLI is hosting an in person screening of The Color of Care, followed by a conversation where we will discuss the film and talk about how we can mobilize to combat racism in healthcare with community leaders from New Detroit (Rebecca Irby), Packard Health (Oryanna Diem), and the School of Public Health (Becky Woolf).

The Color of Care chronicles how people of color suffer from systemically substandard healthcare. COVID-19 exposed what they have long understood and lived: they do not receive the same level of care. Produced by Ms. Winfrey’s Harpo Productions and directed by Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning director Yance Ford, the film traces the origins of racial health disparities to practices that began during slavery and continue today. Using moving personal testimony, expert interviews, and disturbing data, the film reveals the impact of racism on health, serving as an urgent warning of what must be done to save lives.

We know the names of major givers in American history. We recognize the power of the everyday philanthropists who have shaped and reshaped the nation. But we have largely overlooked the stories of people who have done the hard work of raising money for charitable causes from the colonial era to today. Yet fundraising has a history and Amanda Moniz is working to tell it as she builds the Smithsonian’s new philanthropy collection.

Amanda B. Moniz, Ph.D., is the David M. Rubenstein Curator of Philanthropy at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. She curates a long-term exhibit, Giving in America, and is building the Smithsonian's collection of objects telling stories about Americans' historical experiences of giving, fundraising, and working in and using charitable institutions. Her book, From Empire to Humanity: The American Revolution and the Origins of Humanitarianism, was awarded ARNOVA’S inaugural Peter Dobkin Hall History of Philanthropy Book Prize. She is currently working on a biography of Isabella Graham, an immigrant widow who transformed philanthropy in early national New York, and is grateful to the Clements Library for supporting research in its collections about Graham. Moniz received her Ph.D. in History from the University of Michigan in 2008, and during graduate school, she worked at the Clements as a curatorial assistant in the Manuscript Division.

Representative Rashida Tlaib is an American politician and lawyer serving as the U.S. representative for Michigan’s 13th congressional district since 2019. The district includes the western half of Detroit, along with several of its western suburbs and much of the Downriver area. A member of the Democratic Party, Tlaib represented the 6th and 12th districts of the Michigan House of Representatives before her election to Congress. After serving, she worked at Sugar Law Center, a Detroit nonprofit that provides free legal representation for workers. In Congress, Tlaib is tackling one of the most significant drivers of poverty in our country – medical debt. With eight million Americans pushed into poverty due to medical expenses in 2018, Tlaib introduced The Consumer Protection for Medical Debt Collections Act (H.R. 2537), which would prohibit the collection of medical debt for two years, as well as debt from “medically necessary” procedures being included on one’s credit report. It passed the House in 2021 as part of a Comprehensive Debt Collection Act.

The talks, which are free and open to the public, will also be livestreamed on YouTube. U-M students can participate in the series as a one-credit course - look for it as SWK 503 section 001.

What if your sex ed class included asexuality? Most sexual education is not ace-friendly, much less ace-focused, and we're going to take a stab at fixing that! This interactive workshop will focus on defining terms like consent, desire, and arousal, communication in relationships, setting boundaries, and being proud of your identity! You will be invited to reflect on how you experience your sexuality and have the opportunity to learn from asexual and ace-spectrum experiences.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: University Students Against Rape/Take Back The Night (USAR/TBTN)

Justin Baldoni, filmmaker, actor, and author, will stream in live for an honest conversation about redefining masculinity, and how by challenging traditional roles and traits of masculinity, men will be able to realize their potential as humans and their capacity for connection. You can find out more about Justin’s mission at www.manenough.com.

The event will begin with a conversation between Justin and Standing Tough Against Rape President, Tom Swider, using Justin’s books as a springboard. Man Enough, released in 2021, focuses on Justin’s personal journey of how traditional masculinity affected him. In this book he helps us to investigate what it means to be man enough and in the process what it means to be human.

His second book, Boys Will Be Human, being released October4, 2022, is a real-talk, self-esteem-building guidebook that helps boys ages 11 and up embrace their feelings and fears instead of repress them. This book is geared toward middle schoolers (11+) and their parents, however, anyone can benefit from it. This is the perfect social-emotional learning tool for parents and educators to jump-start conversations about masculinity with the boys in their lives.

We will then open it up to questions from attendees.

*Please note: Justin will be joining the conversation and Q&A portion virtually and he will not be present for the post event reception.

Moral Blind Spots (October 28, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99459 99459-21798227@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 28, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Why do efforts designed to improve ethical behavior in the workplace continue to over promise and under deliver? This presentation will explore the role that moral blindspots play in unethical behavior as a potential explanation. Drawing on the burgeoning field of behavioral ethics, which examines how and why people behave the way they do in the face of ethical dilemmas, discussion will reveal that much of our ethical behavior occurs without conscious awareness, leading to a gap between perceptions of our ethicality and our actual ethicality. Ignoring these blindspots is argued to be a root cause of why well-intended efforts to improve ethical behavior continue to disappoint. The presentation will focus on the causes of these blindspots, including ethical illusions, ethical fading, sanctioning systems, and motivated blindness. The talk will conclude with insights on how to overcome these dangerous obstacles to ethical behavior.

Our aim is to bring liberals, conservatives, libertarians- everyone across the political spectrum- together for constructive conversation.

The session will begin with a brief content presentation to provide a basic understanding of the topic. No specific level of knowledge is required to participate in WeListen discussions.

By participating in WeListen sessions, staff members will:
- Expand understanding of a prominent political topic
- Practice discussing difficult topics with others,
- Gain openness to new ideas and perspectives,
- Learn to productively challenge an idea, and
- Form a sense of community among fellow staff members.

The Uncertainty of Corporate Sustainability Metrics (November 4, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100504 100504-21800017@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 4, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Researchers have long studied corporate performance metrics for organizational and financial performance. However, we still know little about how to design sustainability metrics that can move organizations towards better societal outcomes. Questions remain regarding the substantive areas of sustainability performance that should be measured, how data should be aggregated, and how metrics can be engineered to reduce greenwashing. In this paper, we propose a framework to assess corporate sustainability metrics based on the level of uncertainty associated with the effectiveness of the metric and its measurement. We consider whether the metric is measuring management processes or outcomes and discuss how the choice of metrics with lower uncertainty may hamper some types of greenwashing. We argue that organizations should use outcome metrics when uncertainty in measuring the performance outcome is low, and process-based metrics when the outcome is difficult to measure or the link between process and outcome is undetermined. When both types of uncertainty are high, it is unclear whether metrics should be used at all. We illustrate our framework with examples of corporate disclosure in the areas of social and environmental metrics. Our framework enriches our understanding of the uncertainty associated with corporate sustainability disclosures and can be useful for government agencies thinking about mandated disclosures, for managers thinking about what metrics to disclose, and for researchers developing or using sustainability metrics.

Peter Gelderloos and StopCampGrayling on Strategies for Ecological Revolution from Below (November 7, 2022 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100819 100819-21800388@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 7, 2022 5:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Comparative Literature

Global warming, climate change, the ecological crisis. Tipping points, extinction events. Conservation, green fascism. Carbon footprint, carbon offsets, carbon capture, neocolonialism. How we talk about the disaster is strongly related to how we respond to it, and how we understand it. Is it a countdown to an impending future event, a danger we are beginning to see the early signs of, or a catastrophe that has been ongoing for at least 500 years? The answer to these questions, and the language we use to pose the questions, can determine whether we consider a proposed response to the problem as compelling or completely absurd, whether a delusional half-measure or an exaggerated non-sequitur. The fact that, faced with the same problem, people lack a common language and reach such polarized viewpoints, has become a structural part of the problem itself.

Peter Gelderloos, author of The Solutions Are Already Here, will discuss how centrist approaches like conservation and carbon capture, and even approaches considered progressive like the Green New Deal, are responses to the needs of the current political and economic system rather than responses to the actual crisis that is unfolding. Moreover, there is strong evidence that our current system of government and capitalism is inherently and integrally ecocidal, that under any political program it would lead to broadly similar results as regards the ability of our planet to support life. As a result, standard approaches to dealing with the disaster will ignore or suppress the kinds of movements and solutions that are our greatest hope. This event will tie this analysis with exactly these kinds of movements, groups that offer a strategic horizon for facing our intersecting and most pressing challenges.

Peter will be joined by local activists from StopCampGrayling, a new initiative campaigning against the proposal to grant 162,000 acres of public lands, water, and forests to Michigan’s National Guard, a proposal threatening to destroy precious habitats, poison water sources, and increase militarization, all while expanding the army base at Grayling to twice the size of Chicago.

Speaker:

Kadija Ferryman, PhD
Assistant Professor
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

In this talk, Professor Ferryman will discuss the merits and challenges of conducting health equity reviews of artificial intelligence (AI) tools used in health and medicine. The talk will examine how interdisciplinary approaches from the social sciences, bioethics and humanities, and computational fields can be involved in the development of concepts, methods, frameworks, and guidelines for understanding and governing digital health tools.

Dr. Kadija Ferryman is a cultural anthropologist who studies the social, cultural, and ethical implications of health information technologies. Specifically, her research examines how genomics, digital medical records, artificial intelligence, and other technologies impact racial disparities in health. As a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Data & Society Research Institute in New York, she led the Fairness in Precision Medicine research study, which examines the potential for bias and discrimination in predictive precision medicine.

She earned a BA in Anthropology from Yale University, and a PhD in Anthropology from The New School for Social Research. Before completing her PhD, she was a policy researcher at the Urban Institute where she studied how housing and neighborhoods impact well-being, specifically the effects of public housing redevelopment on children, families, and older adults.

Faith and Feminism: Changing Roles of Women in American Judaism and Malaysian Islam (November 15, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100766 100766-21800332@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 15, 2022 4:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Judaic Studies

What does it mean to think about faith and feminism together? Is there a place for feminism in Abrahamic, patriarchal religions? Conversely, is there space for faith within often secular feminist movements? Does being part of a majoritarian group (Muslims in Malaysia) versus being part of a minoritarian group (Jews in the United States) shape or hinder reformist efforts in any way? historian Karla Goldman and political sociologist Saleena Saleem address these questions as they discuss the changing roles of women in American Judaism and Malaysian Islam throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Join the Frankel Center for this hybrid lecture with Saleena Saleem in conversation with Professor Karla Goldman and moderated by Professor Adi Saleem Bharat. This event is co-sponsored with Asian Languages and Cultures.

This is a hybrid taking place in 2022 South Thayer Building.

Environmental Protests, Shareholder Activism, and the Struggle for Corporate Autonomy (November 18, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100454 100454-21799949@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 18, 2022 1:30pm

Activists pushing for social, political, and organizational change use a variety of tactics to influence and gain access to powerful decision-makers. Research on social movements has shown that these efforts are often effective in promoting change, but recent research indicates that at times movement tactics may provoke backlash. This presentation will look at one of the conditions that generates potential backlash to movement activism: a perceived threat to the power and autonomy of decision-makers. Looking at the context of environmental activism in corporate reform, I show that potential threats to corporate autonomy can induce threat rigidity, which makes boards and executives less amenable to dialogue with reform-minded activists.

Organized By: Student Life Sustainability

Student Life Sustainability is partnering with the Detroit Shakur Squad and Bridge Community Cafe in Ypsilanti to host a film screening on November 28 at 6:30pm. Drinks and treats will be available on site!

The 78 minute film is titled Dope is Death (2020) and was directed by Mia Donovan. The film’s website provides the following description for the film: “The story of how Dr. Mutulu Shakur, stepfather of Tupac Shakur, along with fellow Black Panthers and the Young Lords, combined community health with radical politics to create the first acupuncture detoxification program in America in 1973 - a visionary project eventually deemed too dangerous to exist”. Special guests might follow the screening to speak more about the film.

Dr. Mutulu Shakur, a lifelong activist and former member of the Black Liberation Army, now 72 years-old, has been unjustly imprisoned since 1986. He suffers from life-threatening bone marrow cancer and has finally been granted parole on November 10, 2022, after years of unjust denials.

Should you be interested in joining us for the event, please take a few seconds to fill out the RSVP form, as Bridge Community Cafe has limited capacity: https://forms.gle/mTeUvsYAwtBoU3Rr6

"A Double-Edged Sword”: Genetic Data Sharing and Implications for the Learning Health System

Thursday, December 1, 2022

12:00 pm - 1:30 pm ET

Great Lakes Room, Palmer Commons, 4th floor

100 Washtenaw Ave., Ann Arbor, MI

Speaker:
Kayte Spector-Bagdady, JD, MBioethics
Interim Co-Director, Center for Bioethics & Social Sciences in Medicine Assistant Professor, Obstetrics & Gynecology
University of Michigan Medical School

In contrast to the laborious and expensive process of generating genetic datasets de novo, academic genetic researchers are increasingly using large and inexpensive “secondary” research datasets held by government, consortia, and industry for their work. Choosing between different kinds of data providers is about more than just convenience, however, it can also have important implications for the kind of science advanced and to which communities it will generalize. This talk will explore the factors driving researchers to select certain datasets for their work as well as their experiences sharing to, as well as using, shared data resources. As researchers wait for the new National Institutes of Health’s “Policy for Data Management and Sharing” to go into effect in January 2023, this talk will explore who ultimately carries the burden of increasing data sharing requirements

For the December "Issues in STEM" discussion group, we will talk about contemporary questions around scientific ethics and social responsibility. In two of the pieces for this month, we will learn how our own biases or the lack of diversity on a research team can inadvertently cause harm.

- Lack of Gender Diversity in Drug Trials
- Absence of information about how skin color impacts the presentation and diagnosis of disease

We will also explore some of the issues behind the failure of the Boeing 737 Max.
Anyone is welcome to participate, whether you've listened to/watched/read this month's piece(s) or not. Feel free to bring your lunch.

This custom-built public art installation and immersive film experience uses humor, craft, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics.

Shelves are stocked with thousands of original grocery items meticulously sculpted by hand, all made from discarded single-use plastics organically harvested from streets and garbage dumps. Several times a day, the store transforms into an immersive, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: MSA Diversity Equity & Inclusion

This 2020 documentary chronicles the life and times of U.S. Congressperson and longtime Civil Rights activist John Lewis (1940-2020). For more than 60 years -- from a teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse in Washington -- Lewis was at forefront of what he termed "good trouble." One of MLK's closest allies, Lewis organized courageous Freedom Rides and sit ins that left him both bloodied and jailed and was a leader in both the historic marches on Washington and Selma. An inspiring, mesmerizing saga, this film is available on multiple platforms (e.g., Amazon Prime, YouTube, Google Play, Redbox, Vudu, Apple TV, HBO Max). Open to all, but please register to receive the Zoom link prior to the session.

The Plastic Bag Store (January 19, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103461 103461-21807260@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 19, 2023 6:00pm

Organized By: The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

This custom-built public art installation and immersive film experience uses humor, craft, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics.

Shelves are stocked with thousands of original grocery items meticulously sculpted by hand, all made from discarded single-use plastics organically harvested from streets and garbage dumps. Several times a day, the store transforms into an immersive, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.

Accounting For The Unaccounted: Examining Workplace Accountabilities for Underrepresented and Understudied Employees (January 20, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103238 103238-21806523@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 20, 2023 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

In this research, we examine employee populations that, while significant in their size and scope, have failed to receive significant attention from either accountability researchers or organizational scholars, overall (Hall, Hickox, Kuan, & Sung, 2017). These populations include minority workers, employees with disabilities, immigrants, contingent and other precarious workers, and low-income workers. The current body of accountability literature rests heavily on assumptions and data based on middle class, Western, Caucasian white-collar workers and college students (Norenzayan & Heine, 2005; Hall et al., 2017). While basic elements of accountability should exist across all employees, there are aspects of accountability that traditionally marginalized employees face which have not received the appropriate attention from researchers (Okazaki & Sue, 2016). All employees operate within a web of accountabilities (Frink & Klimoski, 1998). Workers must balance multiple and often competing accountabilities (Hall, Bowen, Ferris, Royle, & Fitzgibbons, 2007). Yet, research suggests that minority, female, immigrant, low-income, precarious workers (e.g., gig or contingent workers) or otherwise traditionally marginalized groups may have additional accountabilities that they must balance (O’Donnell, 2020). Thus, our research seeks to examine the following: 1. how do minoritized/marginalized identities prioritize their accountabilities and 2. what can employers do to assist these workers in balancing their additional accountabilities.

Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Spectrum Center

See other Spectrum Center events: https://bit.ly/LGBTQ-UM-Events

We'd like to invite you to a new event series this semester, the Queer World Conversations! These will be weekly discussions on a variety of topics, but all of them will be discussed with a queer lens. We'll bring the topic, you bring the discussion! Everyone is welcome to join the Conversations, and the voices of those most impacted by the week's topic will be prioritized.

Topics will be announced the week before on our social medias and on the event pages. Registration is not required, nor is consistent attendance. Come when you want, bring your friends, and let's have a Conversation!

Upcoming topics:
4/12/23 - Weight Inclusivity

There are a lot of social ideas of what someone's body "should" look like, especially when it comes to weight. Body positivity is more visible than ever, but so is fatphobia. With the help of our friends of the School of Public Health's Weight Inclusive Initiative, we'll dive into the ways that queer bodies and queer cultures interact with and complicate the already complex ideas we have around one's weight. Are queer people held to a higher standard than non-queer folks? Do we hold each other to higher standards within our own community? Are there any major connections between fatphobia and gender dysphoria?

Spectrum Center Event Accessibility Statement:
The Spectrum Center is dedicated to working towards offering equitable access to all of the events we organize. If you have an accessibility need you feel may not be automatically met at this event, there is space to report that in the registration, or you can fill out our Event Accessibility Form, found at http://bit.ly/SCaccess. You do not need to have a registered disability with the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) or identify as disabled to submit. Advance notice is necessary for some accommodations to be fully implemented, and we will always attempt to dismantle barriers as they are brought up to us. Any questions about accessibility at Spectrum Center events can be directed to spectrumcenter@umich.edu.

Several times a day, the store transforms into an immersive, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.

Previous centuries have been characterized by human trafficking, colonialism, and global warfare. The 21st century has thus far witnessed mass incarceration, illegal detentions, voter suppression, gun violence, and a crackdown on civil liberties. Similar to past eras, grassroot movements are being led by Black and Indigenous communities to advocate for justice.

As we navigate the social and political landscape of a dynamic world, where do questions of privacy, personal freedoms, and the impacts of globalization intersect? How do we build a comprehensive human rights framework that encompasses a diverse global community?

*There is a one (1) ticket limit per person, per order.

The Questionable Embrace of the “Sexual Harassment Training is Not Effective” Narrative (January 27, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/101778 101778-21802338@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 27, 2023 1:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Although training alone is unlikely to prevent or correct workplace sexual harassment, research provides substantial evidence that training can be effective in achieving a number of specific outcomes that are both important to sexual harassment prevention and have legal relevance. Despite this growing body of research, the broad claim that there is little or no evidence that sexual harassment training is effective persists among many legal scholars and some social science researchers. This broad claim is part of a long-standing, institutional theory-based narrative that most employers are merely interested in symbolic compliance with sexual harassment law, and symbolic compliance is sufficient to provide employers effective protection against negative legal outcomes. This presentation will draw on social science research, an analysis of current U.S. sexual harassment law, and the content analysis of recent consent judgments mandating defendant-employers provide sexual harassment training, to rebut the above-described narrative. A conceptual model of the paths by which training can be expected to promote procedural fairness and significantly impact law-related outcomes (e.g., legal claiming, litigation success/failure) by positively affecting trainees’ sexually harassment-related knowledge, skills, and behaviors will be proposed. I conclude that: 1) merely symbolic compliance provides employers relatively little protection from negative law-related outcomes, and 2) there is still a need for U.S. sexual harassment law to be more fully informed by social science theory and research. Specific suggestions for aligning the legal standard for what constitutes “reasonable care” to prevent or correct sexual harassment with available evidence- based knowledge will be proposed.

The Queer World Conversations (February 1, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/103266 103266-21806695@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 1, 2023 10:00am
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Spectrum Center

We'd like to invite you to a new event series this semester, the Queer World Conversations! These will be weekly discussions on a variety of topics, but all of them will be discussed with a queer lens. We'll bring the topic, you bring the discussion! Everyone is welcome to join the Conversations, and the voices of those most impacted by the week's topic will be prioritized.

Topics will be announced the week before on our social medias and on the event pages. Registration is not required, nor is consistent attendance. Come when you want, bring your friends, and let's have a Conversation!

Upcoming topics:
4/12/23 - Weight Inclusivity

There are a lot of social ideas of what someone's body "should" look like, especially when it comes to weight. Body positivity is more visible than ever, but so is fatphobia. With the help of our friends of the School of Public Health's Weight Inclusive Initiative, we'll dive into the ways that queer bodies and queer cultures interact with and complicate the already complex ideas we have around one's weight. Are queer people held to a higher standard than non-queer folks? Do we hold each other to higher standards within our own community? Are there any major connections between fatphobia and gender dysphoria?

Organized By: The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

This custom-built public art installation and immersive film experience uses humor, craft, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics.

Shelves are stocked with thousands of original grocery items meticulously sculpted by hand, all made from discarded single-use plastics organically harvested from streets and garbage dumps. Several times a day, the store transforms into an immersive, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.

"Keeping resistance alive": Chandler Davis and Academic Freedom at Michigan (February 2, 2023 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103293 103293-21806753@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 2, 2023 7:00pm
Location: Detroit Observatory
Organized By: Bentley Historical Library

H. Chandler Davis — courageous, stalwart and lifelong champion of academic and intellectual freedom in the face of persecution, including his own imprisonment — passed away on September 24, 2022, at the age of 96. He was a former instructor at the University of Michigan who, in 1954, was called to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. He and others from U-M l were “unfriendly witnesses, refusing to confess” their political dissent. Davis, unlike the others, based his refusal to answer only on the First Amendment, waiving his protection under the Fifth Amendment. Thereby he deliberately invited a citation for Contempt of Congress, so as to give himself standing to argue in court that the Committee’s proceedings were unconstitutional. He got the citation, but he did not prevail in court; his appeals were exhausted in 1959 and he served prison time in 1960. This Making Michigan will reflect on Davis’s life, actions and legacy at U-M and beyond and will seek to understand and recognize his contributions. Panelists include Steve Batterson, author of a forthcoming bio of Davis; Peggie Hollingsworth, founding chair and longtime director of the Academic Freedom Lecture Fund; and Alan Wald, expert on the political left in the US and Davis's contributions to it.

This event is both in-person at the Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory on the U-M campus and virtually on YouTube.

As with other Detroit Observatory events, in-person attendees may tour the Observatory after the conclusion of the panel, with stargazing if weather permits.

at the Keene Theater in the U-M Residential College

Free and Open to the Public

A collaboration of Detroit Public Theatre & the Prison Creative Arts Project

More about the film:
MTV Documentary Films Presents *Angola Do You Hear Us? Voices From a Plantation Prison* (formerly known as A Peculiar Silence) tells the story of playwright Liza Jessie Peterson, whose acclaimed play *The Peculiar Patriot* was shut down mid-performance at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly known as Angola Prison.

Directed and edited by Cinque Northern, produced by Catherine Gund, featuring Liza Jessie Peterson and Norris Henderson (Peterson and Henderson are also Executive Producers), the film examines how one woman's play challenged the country's largest plantation prison and impacted the incarcerated men long after the record of her visit was erased by the institution's administration.

More about the play:
LaQuanda ‘Betsy’ Ross knows a lot about the New York State Penitentiary system. Her regular visits to loved ones in various upstate institutions have made her quite the expert and a self-proclaimed “Peculiar Patriot." In-between neighborhood updates and gossip, Betsy educates herself and the audience on the systemic inequity within America’s prison complex system and its effect on those behind bars, as well as their family and friends.

Written and performed by the incomparable Liza Jessie Peterson, The Peculiar Patriot was inspired by her comprehensive and extensive work in prisons, including on Riker’s Island. Peterson’s tour de force solo piece is an important, funny, and profound investigative look into America’s criminal justice system.

1/20,000th of a Person?: Democracy & Protecting Equal Rights in Notice & Comment Rulemaking (February 3, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103579 103579-21807511@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 3, 2023 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

In 2018-2019, civil rights activists organized opposition to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, issued by then-Secretary of Education DeVos, designed to gut U.S. Department of Education Title IX enforcement regarding sexual harassment. Although an historic—and overwhelmingly antagonistic—124,000+ comments were filed, ED finalized the rules, without meaningful changes, and four legal challenges quickly followed, several pointing out the both strong and numerous opposing comments. These challenges relied on a particular “story” of the Administrative Procedures Act and its requirements for “notice and comment rulemakings.” That story maintains that the APA directly vested a “commenting power” in the American public as a check and balance empowering the public to stop agencies from following policies that have little to no democratic support. A competing technocratic, oligarchic “story” of rulemakings views the public’s commenting power as simply a way to funnel technical expertise to agencies, not an expression of Americans’ policy preferences. This story ignores and exacerbates socio-economic inequalities, especially those linked to gender and race, doubly excluding already politically marginalized groups from administrative lawmaking. Enter “mass commenting,” which includes “boilerplate comments” that ordinary people often use to exercise their commenting power but agencies discount, treating such comments, regardless of how many people filed them, as a single comment. This article explores how the DeVos rulemaking exposed inequalities and anti-democratic agency practices such as dismissal of legitimate mass comments. It urges agencies instead to adopt more democratic and less technocratic rulemaking procedures, at least for rulemakings implicating equal protection of the law.

This custom-built public art installation and immersive film experience uses humor, craft, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics.

Shelves are stocked with thousands of original grocery items meticulously sculpted by hand, all made from discarded single-use plastics organically harvested from streets and garbage dumps. Several times a day, the store transforms into an immersive, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.

DISCO Network Lecture Series | Algorithmic Ableism at the Intersections: Disability, Race, Gender, and New Technologies (February 7, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102935 102935-21805581@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 7, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

Lydia X. Z. Brown's work focuses on unearthing, examining, and challenging the intersectional harms of algorithmic technologies on disabled people living at the margins of the margins. From algorithmic worker management, credit decisions, threat assessment, health predictions, decision-making technologies, and surveillance apparatuses, algorithmic and automated technologies increasingly have an outsized impact on disabled people, particularly disabled people from multiply-marginalized communities. Lydia's work calls attention to the particular ways in which algorithmic technologies serve to exclude disabled people from public participation and social integration, exacerbate existing hyper-surveillance of and attendant harms to disabled people, and manufacture new means of regulating disabled people's lives.

Lydia X. Z. Brown is an advocate, organizer, attorney, strategist, and writer whose work focuses on interpersonal and state violence against disabled people at the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, faith, language, and nation. Lydia is Policy Counsel for Privacy & Data at the Center for Democracy & Technology, where their work focuses on algorithmic harm and disability discrimination. Lydia is also an adjunct lecturer in the Women's and Gender Studies Program and the Disability Studies Program at Georgetown University, as well as an adjunct professorial lecturer in American Studies in the Department of Critical Race, Gender, and Culture Studies at American University. They are co-president of the Disability Rights Bar Association and Disability Justice Committee representative on the National Lawyers Guild board.

M. Remi Yergeau is the Arthur F. Thurnau Associate Professor of Digital Studies and English at the University of Michigan. They direct the Digital Accessible Futures Lab as a part of the DISCO Network, which is funded by the Mellon Foundation. Their scholarly interests include rhetoric & writing studies, digital studies, queer rhetorics, disability studies, and theories of mind. Their Authoring Autism: On Rhetoric and Neurological Queerness (Duke UP), is a winner of the 2017 Modern Language Association First Book Prize, the 2019 CCCC Lavender Rhetorics Book Award for Excellence in Queer Scholarship, and the 2019 Rhetoric Society of America Book Award. They are currently at work on a second book project on disability, techno-rhetorics, and sociality, tentatively titled Crip Data.

David Adelman is a DISCO Network Postdoctoral Research Rellow at the Digital Accessible Futures Lab at the University of Michigan. His research interests center on disability and crip studies, with a particular emphasis on disability media studies, digital disability cultures, disability film studies, and critical sexuality studies. Through an interdisciplinary crip studies/feminist lens, he pursues questions which emerge at the intersection of power, culture, technology, identity, and desire.

Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Spectrum Center

We'd like to invite you to a new event series this semester, the Queer World Conversations! These will be weekly discussions on a variety of topics, but all of them will be discussed with a queer lens. We'll bring the topic, you bring the discussion! Everyone is welcome to join the Conversations, and the voices of those most impacted by the week's topic will be prioritized.

Topics will be announced the week before on our social medias and on the event pages. Registration is not required, nor is consistent attendance. Come when you want, bring your friends, and let's have a Conversation!

Upcoming topics:
4/12/23 - Weight Inclusivity

There are a lot of social ideas of what someone's body "should" look like, especially when it comes to weight. Body positivity is more visible than ever, but so is fatphobia. With the help of our friends of the School of Public Health's Weight Inclusive Initiative, we'll dive into the ways that queer bodies and queer cultures interact with and complicate the already complex ideas we have around one's weight. Are queer people held to a higher standard than non-queer folks? Do we hold each other to higher standards within our own community? Are there any major connections between fatphobia and gender dysphoria?

Spectrum Center Event Accessibility Statement:
The Spectrum Center is dedicated to working towards offering equitable access to all of the events we organize. If you have an accessibility need you feel may not be automatically met at this event, there is space to report that in the registration, or you can fill out our Event Accessibility Form, found at http://bit.ly/SCaccess.

Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

The adoption of home devices connected to the internet is growing and so are concerns about child physical and digital safety and privacy in the smart home. The U-M community is invited to join us on Zoom for a presentation and Q&A with Kaiwen Sun, U-M School of Information Ph.D. student, as she explores the discrepancies between marketing depictions and device features, and discusses considerations for keeping children safe in the smart home.

Kaiwen Sun’s research focuses on the intersection of children’s privacy and safety and understanding parents’ perceptions and behaviors around privacy and safety in the context of smart home technologies.

This event is open to the U-M community (umich login required) and will be especially relevant to parents, grandparents, guardians, and others who interact with children in their homes.

DSI Lecture Series | The Black Menaces: Social Media, Race, and Activism on College Campuses (February 8, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103456 103456-21807229@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 8, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

The Black Menaces are a coalition of students from various universities across the nation fighting to empower marginalized communities through social media.

Through social media platforms like Tik Tok, Instagram, and Twitter they highlight how PWIs (Predominantly White Institutions) do not create safe spaces for marginalized students. The Black Menaces highlight overt and covert racism, homophobia, xenophobia, sexism, and more through questions. They share the stories and experiences of any and all marginalized students.

As the Black Menaces, they seek to make all necessary changes at universities across the nation to ensure the mental, emotional, and physical safety of all students. Through reforming the curriculum, systems, and management change will occur to make equitable standards.

Join the Digital Studies Institute for a panel conversation with the Black Menaces leadership team Nate Byrd, Kennethia Dorsey, Kylee Shepherd, Sebastian Stewart-Johnson, Rachel Weaver with Professor Apryl Williams to learn about the creation of the Black Menaces movement and to discuss the use of social media as a tool for activism on college campuses.

Learn more about the Black Menaces at www.theblackmenaces.org.

We want to make our events accessible to all participants. This event will be a hybrid event with both a physical meeting space and an online meeting space. Please register in advance for the online Zoom Webinar here: http://bit.ly/3k8yDXd

Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Institute for Social Research

This event is part of the Institute for Social Research series in honor of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This hybrid event will take place at the Institute for Social Research (426 Thompson St.) with live viewing available via Zoom https://umich.zoom.us/s/92773421482.

The decades since the civil rights movement are considered by many to be a story of progress toward equal rights and greater inclusiveness. Elizabeth Hinton uncovers an altogether different history, taking us on a troubling journey from Detroit in 1967 and Miami in 1980 to Los Angeles in 1992 and beyond to chart the persistence of structural racism and one its primary consequences, the so-called urban riot. Dr. Hinton offers a critical corrective: the word riot was nothing less than a racist trope applied to events that can only be properly understood as rebellions--explosions of collective resistance to an unequal and violent order. Challenging the optimistic story of the post-Jim Crow United States, Hinton's discussion will present a new framework for understanding our nation's enduring racial strife. As her history suggests, rebellions will likely continue until police are no longer called on to manage the consequences of dismal conditions beyond their control, and until an oppressive system is finally remade on the principle of justice and equality.

Over the past twenty years, scores of universities have committed themselves to uncovering and reckoning with their ties to slavery as well as broader histories of exclusion and discrimination at their institutions. As the University of Michigan embarks on its own Inclusive History Project, this symposium will explore what it means for universities to undertake this work and what the future of these efforts might be. Panelists representing projects from Brown University, Harvard University, the University of Virginia, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison will discuss the principles that have guided their projects, the processes that have shaped them, the communities that have partnered with them, and the outcomes they have produced, including reparative measures.

Moving Past the Barriers: Experiences of a Good Life and Meaningful Career among Resettled Refugees in Germany and the USA (February 10, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103239 103239-21806524@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 10, 2023 1:30pm

In May 2022, the United Nations announced the number of forcibly displaced people in the world having exceeded 100 million. Of these, almost 30 million are refugees, i.e., people forcibly displaced across country borders. A life as a refugee entails profound physical, psychological, and social hardships, but even amidst these hardships, refugees’ stories bear witness to psychological strength and resourcefulness. With the help of qualitative interview data collected in Germany and the US, I will discuss three studies uncovering refugees’ experiences of and strive towards a good life and a meaningful career in their new home country. The first study explores identity threats, identity-threat coping, and resulting identity growth among refugees as they seek to integrate in the working life in Germany. The second study addresses unique features in refugees’ career construction in the resettlement, also suggesting important contextually relevant extensions to the career construction theory. In the third study, we hear from adolescent refugees; what a good life means to them and how they strive towards such a good life. This study highlights the role of temporality in refugees’ experiences of a good life. Taken together, these three studies address the potential for and the processes of adversarial psychological growth and psychological well-being in midst of chronic adversities faced by refugee populations.

The Future Is With Our People: Sustainability Art Exhibition (February 13, 2023 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/104064 104064-21808344@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 13, 2023 9:00am

Organized By: Student Life Sustainability

Sometimes, the solutions to the climate crisis aren’t complex technological innovations. They can be as personal as your auntie’s renegade community kitchen that she built after a natural disaster, or cooking with your dad, who grew up poor, and taught you how to be resourceful in the kitchen. It can be choosing to share moments of laughter with your loved ones in a time of hardship, or sitting on the porch with your elders and learning from their stories of the past. Too often, climate conversations ignore these narratives of community resourcefulness and creativity in times of adversity.

The Future Is With Our People brings together work from 10+ UM students who live, work, play, love, and hope in the face of uncertainties and injustices. Through these pieces, the artists tell stories about the customs, communities, relationships, and experiences that bring them joy and a drive to demand a better future. As the climate crisis intensifies, we must recognize that solutions often lie within us, our communities, and our cultures. This art exhibit attempts to express just how vital our stories can be in building a sustainable and just future for present and future generations to thrive in.

Sometimes, the solutions to the climate crisis aren’t complex technological innovations. They can be as personal as your auntie’s renegade community kitchen that she built after a natural disaster, or cooking with your dad, who grew up poor, and taught you how to be resourceful in the kitchen. It can be choosing to share moments of laughter with your loved ones in a time of hardship, or sitting on the porch with your elders and learning from their stories of the past. Too often, climate conversations ignore these narratives of community resourcefulness and creativity in times of adversity.

The Future Is With Our People brings together work from 10+ UM students who live, work, play, love, and hope in the face of uncertainties and injustices. Through these pieces, the artists tell stories about the customs, communities, relationships, and experiences that bring them joy and a drive to demand a better future. As the climate crisis intensifies, we must recognize that solutions often lie within us, our communities, and our cultures. This art exhibit attempts to express just how vital our stories can be in building a sustainable and just future for present and future generations to thrive in.

Join the Student Life Sustainabilty Cultural Organizers and the Center for Campus Involvement for an art exhibition on the first floor of the Union from Feb 13-Feb 24.

We'd like to invite you to a new event series this semester, the Queer World Conversations! These will be weekly discussions on a variety of topics, but all of them will be discussed with a queer lens. We'll bring the topic, you bring the discussion! Everyone is welcome to join the Conversations, and the voices of those most impacted by the week's topic will be prioritized.

Topics will be announced the week before on our social medias and on the event pages. Registration is not required, nor is consistent attendance. Come when you want, bring your friends, and let's have a Conversation!

Upcoming topics:
4/12/23 - Weight Inclusivity

There are a lot of social ideas of what someone's body "should" look like, especially when it comes to weight. Body positivity is more visible than ever, but so is fatphobia. With the help of our friends of the School of Public Health's Weight Inclusive Initiative, we'll dive into the ways that queer bodies and queer cultures interact with and complicate the already complex ideas we have around one's weight. Are queer people held to a higher standard than non-queer folks? Do we hold each other to higher standards within our own community? Are there any major connections between fatphobia and gender dysphoria?

Sense of Self: The Islamic Contemporary (February 17, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/105043 105043-21810636@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 17, 2023 10:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

Despite recent panels and scholarship aiming to dispel the notion, there is a conception that contemporary art and religion are incompatible.

When paired with the Islamophobic sentiment that Islam is destructive, rather than constructive like artistic practices and that it even forbids many forms of artistic production, there is a presumption that contemporary art that engages with Islam as religion and faith (rather than simply as identity) cannot exist.

There is an additional assumption that those who identify as women, queer, trans, and non-binary are unlikely to engage with Islam in their work outside of critique, because of the belief that Islam is inherently (and uniquely) oppressive of and therefore contradictory to individuals who identify as such.

In an attempt to disabuse viewers of these notions, as well as give a space of exploration to these often overlooked or excluded voices, this exhibition brings together women, queer, trans, and non-binary Muslim artists who explore their connection to religion, their other identities (be those related to their race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, or status as artists), and their practices.

The emerging Critical Quantitative (CQ) perspective is anchored by five guiding principles (i.e., foundation, goals, parity, subjectivity, and self-reflexivity) to mitigate racism and advance social justice. Within this broader methodological perspective, sound measurement is foundational to the quantitative enterprise. Despite the problematic history of measurement, it can be repurposed for critical and equitable ends. MIMIC (Multiple Indicator and MultIple Causes) models are a measurement strategy to simply and efficiently test whether a measure means the same thing and can be measured in the same way across groups (e.g., racial/ethnic and/or gender). This talk considers the affordances and limitations of MIMICs for critical quantitative methods, by detecting and mitigating racial, ethnic, gendered, and other forms of bias in items and in measures.
