Clinical and translational investigators need patient data, especially from electronic health record (EHR) systems, to conduct research, but optimal approaches are unknown. This talk explores an approach for supporting different types of investigators and study designs by matching investigators with informatics tools and services.

Intersecting Social Systems and the Reproduction of Injustice

Societies are complex systems – or clusters of interacting systems – that reproduce themselves: their culture, their practices, and their structures, in ways that are unjust. In this lecture, I will take up two broad questions: What does it mean to say that injustice is systemic, and how does that affect our efforts to promote justice? How do social systems interact and reproduce themselves? By considering case studies involving the criminal justice system, the immigration system, and child protective services, I will argue that we need to rethink how gender and race are produced and reproduced. In this lecture, I am asking about the process of social reproduction rather than providing a normative theory of justice (or injustice). However, in order to understand and intervene in injustice successfully, we need to be clear about what we are up against.

Title: “The Toxic Ideology of Longtermism”

Abstract:
This lecture criticizes the intellectual tradition “longtermism” as an ideology, for its damaging real-world effects as well as for its reliance on a flawed ethical theory. Longtermism is an outgrowth of Effective Altruism (EA), a utilitarianism-inspired philanthropic program founded just over a decade ago by young Oxford philosophers Toby Ord and William MacAskill. EA, which claims to guide charitable giving to do the ‘most good’ per expenditure of time or money, originally focused on mitigating the effects of poverty in the global South and of the treatment of animals in factory farms. This initially modestly-funded, Oxford-based enterprise soon had satellites in the UK, US, and elsewhere in the world, several of which became multi-million-dollar organisations, while the amount of money directed by EA-affiliated groups swelled to over four hundred million dollars annually, with pledges in the tens of billions. During this period, Ord and MacAskill started using the term ‘longtermism’ to mark a view championed by members of a conspicuous subset of effective altruists. The view is that humanity is at a crossroads at which we may either self-destruct or realize a glorious future, and that we should prioritize responding to threats to the continued existence of human civilization. The ‘existential risks’ that longtermists rank as most probable are AI unaligned with liberal values and deadly engineered pathogens. They urge us to combat these risks to make it likelier that humans (or our digitally intelligent descendants) will live on for millions, billions, or even trillions of years, surviving until long after the sun has vaporised the earth by colonizing exoplanets. The longtermist enterprise has been publicly thrashed for its ties to the crypto exchange FTX, which declared bankruptcy in mid-November 2022, but the movement remains well-funded and well-positioned to repair its reputation and go on enlisting earnest individuals to energetically support and spread it. There is a pressing need to criticize its theoretical weaknesses and forcefully bring out its material harms, exposing it as the toxic ideology it is.

Data science and AI are having a significant impact on society in uncountable ways, leading to huge benefits in many cases. Yet, increasingly complex analytical pipelines working with poorly understood heterogeneous data sets can give rise to harm in many ways. Furthermore, there could be deleterious systemic effects such as the magnification of disinformation or surveillance capitalism. There has been tremendous recent interest in understanding and managing these concerns.

This mini-symposium is part of the Future Leader Summit program, a three-day event which brings together outstanding graduate students and postdocs from around the US to engage in research discussions with peers and with research leaders, and receive career mentoring, as they grow to become future research leaders in data science and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Free and open to the public.

Title: Descartes on Clarity and Reasons for Judgement and Doubt

Abstract: Commentators increasingly recognize that, for Descartes, when you perceive something clearly and distinctly, you thereby have a normative reason (not just a psychological compulsion) to judge it to be true. They haven’t been able to explain why, however, because they haven’t identified what clear and distinct perception is. I argue that distinctness is just the highest degree of clarity – complete clarity – and that clarity is presentationality, i.e. the phenomenal quality you experience when something is presented to you as true. Anticipating a current view called Presentationalism, Descartes holds that presentationality (clarity) provides reason for judgment: when you perceive p clearly, you thereby have reason to judge that p is true, precisely because p is presented to you as true. Today’s Presentationalists posit only defeasible reasons for judgement – ones that can be defeated by reasons for doubt. Descartes is bolder in asserting that the highest degree of clarity – complete clarity – provides
indefeasible reasons for judgment – ones that preclude any possible reason for doubt. Why? The answer, I argue, flows from a unified account wherein all epistemic reasons – reasons for assent and reasons for doubt – arise from clarity.

Foundations of Modern Physics Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop: Naturalness, Renormalization, and Fundamentality (May 5, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102960 102960-21805618@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, May 5, 2023 3:00pm

The speakers of this panel will discuss questions about if and how "naturalness" guides theory choice, how we only control and understand some theories at certain scales, and how to interpret what non-fundamental theories can tell us about the world, among others. Naturalness, like simplicity or empirical adequacy, is sometimes considered a criterion constraining the formulation of theories in high-energy physics or the choice among extant ones. One reason unnatural theories are deemed implausible is that their parameters are "fine-tuned;" too big or small for the scale in which the theory operates. By emphasizing how the physics we describe at a certain scale depends on physics at smaller distances, the methods known as "renormalization group techniques" have suggested that theories with unnatural parameters, like the Higgs boson's mass in the Standard Model of particle physics, are merely "effective" (as opposed to "fundamental"). Distinguishing the fundamental and the non-fundamental physical theories provides important guidance for future physics and naturalistic metaphysics.

Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Every day, whether we realize it or not, we are constantly surrounded by AI technology. From self-driving cars, to facial recognition software, fraud prevention models, recommender systems, ChatGPT, etc., AI is rapidly transforming our lives. But do we fully comprehend the real range of potential ethical implications related to its use and regulation? This event will stimulate ideas and investigation into that question by bringing together academics, leaders and scientists in the private sector and policy regulation areas, to share their knowledge and discuss ethical challenges and trends in AI regulation, along with cutting-edge theory and implementation of ethical and transparent AI models. The event is free and open to all who develop AI methods, are current or future users of AI, or are curious about how AI will shape research and our society.

Organizers: as a facilitator of the development and application of data science (DS) and AI techniques for the broad U-M data science community, MIDAS is also imbued with the mission of promoting ethical research. In fact, one of the five research pillars that MIDAS supports is ‘Responsible Research’, focused on enhancing the scientific and societal impact of DS and AI, which takes place especially through fomenting the discussion and expansion of the Ethical AI field. On the other hand, as a prominent player in the private sector, Rocket Companies constantly strive for learning and applying responsible cutting-edge tools in AI. Joined with a common interest in the Ethical AI field, MIDAS and Rocket Companies are inviting you to share your views and learn together about breakthroughs and pressing issues regarding ethical AI.

Keynote presentations:

"Recognizing and Eliminating Harmful Biases in AI for Healthcare" with Jenna Wiens, Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Michigan

“Evaluation and Values in Machine Learning and NLP” with Dallas Card, Assistant Professor, School of Information, University of Michigan

"AI policy in US and EU" with Merve Hickok, President @ Center for AI & Digital Policy

Title: Justice by Means of Democracy

Abstract:
In Justice by Means of Democracy, Danielle Allen offers a new paradigm for political economy, power-sharing liberalism. Building on the work of scholars like Amartya Sen, Philip Pettit, and Elizabeth Anderson, Allen offers an innovative reconstruction of liberalism based on the principle of full inclusion and non-domination—in which no group has a monopoly on power—in politics, economy, and society. At a time of great social and political turmoil, when many residents of the leading democracies question the ability of their governments to deal fairly and competently with serious public issues, and when power seems more and more to rest with the wealthy few, Allen reconsiders the very foundations of justice and democracy. The surest path to a just society in which all have the support necessary to flourish is the protection of political equality, and recognizing this leads to an alternative strategy for the project of political economy.

Exposure (E. Levinas, F. Moten, K. Lamar) (October 12, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109921 109921-21823234@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 12, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Romance Languages & Literatures

This paper asks what happens when we examine Levinasian exposure—understood as performative articulation of political concepts—in light of what Fred Moten calls the “social aesthetics of Black radicalism.” It will consider Moten’s critique of Levinas while simultaneously “exposing” the notion of exposure to poetry and rhythm, which can be seen (or heard) as opening his thought beyond the limits that Moten ascribes to it.

Erin Graff Zivin is Professor of Spanish and Portuguese and Comparative Literature at the University of Southern California, where she is Director of the Experimental Humanities Lab, Acting Director of the Society of Fellows in the Humanities, and head of the international “Women in Theory” collective. She is author of Anarchaeologies: Reading as Misreading (Fordham UP, 2020), Figurative Inquisitions: Conversion, Torture, and Truth in the Luso-Hispanic Atlantic (Northwestern UP, 2014), and The Wandering Signifier: Rhetoric of Jewishness in the Latin American Imaginary (Duke UP, 2008), and is currently completing a book on experimental transmedial aesthetics.

Title: People, Peoples and the Freedom of Religion in Spinoza

Abstract: For Spinoza, each individual has his or her own ingenium, their own personal setsof beliefs, likes and dislikes that help define them as the individuals that they are. And because of that, Spinoza thinks that they should be granted a large degree of freedom in the choice of the religion that they practice. He writes: “Opinions govern men in different ways: those which move one person to devotion, move another to laughter and contempt.” So as long as they subscribe to the true religion, that is, as long as they love their neighbor as themselves, and love God above all, they should be allowed to worship as they please. However, this right does not extend to groups of individuals. The Jewish community, a collective individual can be said to have an ingenium as well. But even so, Spinoza seems unwilling to extend this right to the Jewish community, as opposed to individual Jews. In this talk I will explore why individuals get religious freedom for Spinoza, but groups of individuals don’t.

The talk, “Tipwork, Gigwork, and the Wages of Service,” suggests that representations of “essential work” oscillate between sentimentalized depictions of service work as “productive” or heroic and a counter-discourse of service work as uniquely abject or degraded. It reads these contradictions through the history of feminized, racialized, and informalized wage forms like piece-rate and tips and connects that history to contemporary comparisons of service work to sex work.

Title: Social Relationalism and the Problem of Grid Collision

Abstract: The problem of grid collision is the problem of saying what social status someone has when they are classified in different ways by different schemes. Suppose that Sam is Black by US standards but White by Brazilian standards. What is Sam’s race? We need to avoid the conclusion that they are both Black (since the US view is not in error) and not Black (since the Brazilian view is not in error either), and in general we need a consistent way to assign social statuses when grids collide. Enter the social relationalist. Social relationalism is the view that social statuses are not simple monadic properties but rather dyadic relations to social rules. For the social relationalist, there is no simple monadic property of being Black (/White) for Sam to have. Rather Sam is a person who is both racialized as Black relative to the US one drop rule, and also racialized as White relative to Brazilian appearance-based rules. These are consistent relational statuses. More generally—the social relationalist concludes—we are all persons who are racialized, gendered, and otherwise classified in various ways only relative to various grids.

Title: Objectivity's Politics

Abstract: Anyone with an ear for political trends will be aware that objectivity-talk is frequently taken to be politically injurious. There is a dialectic, well established in our public culture, that starts from the idea that some claims to objectivity aid oppression by disguising it and proceeds to the conclusion that the epistemic ideal picked out by the word “objectivity” can be re-envisioned to illuminate structural injustice and so serve justice. Questions about what objectivity is like, and about what falls under it, are the purview of philosophy, yet mainstream work in analytic philosophy offers little support for this familiar liberating pattern of thought, instead favoring the kinds of views about what objectivity amounts to that inspire complaints about its oppressive potential. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to think that there must be compelling philosophical considerations for such views about objectivity. In fact, it is not obvious that the views owe their acceptance primarily to their philosophical merits. A notable body of social theory represents received understandings of objectivity as encoded in core capitalist structures—structures that some social theorists take to predictably cause the very forms of oppression that appeals to the relevant understandings of objectivity shroud. This raises the prospect that there are different, interrelated reasons for regarding the apparently unremarkable philosophical task of rethinking objectivity as an exercise of political resistance, a step toward a language of politics better suited not only for shedding light on grave injustices but for finding routes to more just forms of life.

Title: Perception as a relationship
Abstract: Perception is harder than it looks. To perceive is to enter into relationships with the things we see. Indeed, for reasons that I will try to articulate, it is to enter into something like a loving relationship with them. The love-like character of perceiving has been been by-and-large ignored by philosophers and cognitive scientists, but acknowledging it allows for new insight into some of the hardest problems about perception that there are. In this talk I will focus on one class of these having to do with perceptual indeterminacy. This talk, which is work in progress, is part of a larger project to explore the ways in which “ordinary” perception is ethically and aesthetically demanding. I draw on ideas from earlier work on perception (e.g. Action in Perception, MIT, 2004 and Varieties of Presence, HUP, 2012), as well as on my newest book The Entanglement (published this past summer by Princeton). I hope this talk will be of interest to students and colleagues working in a wide array of different philosophical areas as well as to scholars in different fields.

Lecture Title: On the Road to Truth

Abstract: This talk will explore some questions raised by Larry Sklar in Theory and Truth. What does it mean to be a realist about our scientific theories in our present predicament, in which we are virtually certain that the best theories of physics cannot be true, strictly speaking, because they break down or make false predictions in certain regimes? Sklar suggests that to be a realist in this setting is to be confident that our best current theories are in some sense stations on the road to truth—but what precisely does that mean?

Lecture Title: Decision Making and the Accuracy of Beliefs

Lecture Abstract: Epistemologists have long focused on belief as the basic epistemic attitude, with the understanding that a belief is fully successful only if true. In the 20th Century, however, some philosophers began to see degrees of confidence, or credences, as more fundamental, largely because of their ties to rational action. The philosopher Frank Ramsey and statistician Bruno de Finetti famously argued that (i) a rational person's credences will be revealed in her betting behavior, and (ii) that a person whose credences do not obey the laws of probability will accept "books" of bets that, in the aggregate, lose money no matter what the world is like. These "pragmatic" (action centered) arguments were used to justify probabilism, the idea that rational credences must be subjective probabilities. But, many epistemologists were dissatisfied with this pragmatic approach since it did not ultimately relate the quality of credences to their accuracy or "closeness to the truth". As a response to these complaints, I sought to define a meaningful sense of accuracy for credences, and to show that probabilism could be seen as a means to pursuing credal accuracy. I knew de Finetti had offered an argument that could be adapted for this purpose, but it had limited applicability and was still pragmatic in spirit. While searching for something more general, and more clearly epistemic, I was attending the UM Decision Consortium, run by Frank Yates of the Psychology Department. One day Frank pointed me to his wonderful book Judgment and Decision Making, which introduced me to the use of strictly proper scoring rules to measure the accuracy of probabilistic forecasts. This turned out to be exactly what I needed! In two related papers, I argued that any reasonable score of credal accuracy should be a strictly proper scoring rule, and that for a wide range of such rules probabilism follows in this sense: for any system of credences that violates the laws of probability there is a system of credences that satisfies those laws and is more accurate in every possible state of the world.

Lecture Title: "The Physics of Ignorance: Believe It or Not?"

Lecture Abstract: Should we believe our very best theories of physics? Scientific realists urge that we should: the best way to make sense of a theory's remarkable success, they argue, is to suppose that the world is (more or less) the way that theory says it is. Most physicists regard our very best theories of physics, including those making up the Standard Model of contemporary particle physics, to be effective theories. Not itself fundamentally or universally valid, an effective theory is rather, within an avowedly limited domain, an able mimic of more fundamental theories. But what do we believe, when we believe an able mimic? And is that something we should believe? I'll critically consider a resourceful realist answer to these questions. I'll also defend an alternative that becomes available once we liberate ourselves from a constrictive presupposition: that to understand a theory, we must articulate the way that theory says the world is.

Buddhist Perspectives on Grief and Language: (February 16, 2024 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/117682 117682-21839831@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 16, 2024 3:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Asian Languages and Cultures

Join us for an intimate dialogue between Chenxing Han and Buddhist studies scholar Dr. Lang Chen about religious perspectives on grief, culturally attuned care for the dying, and the literary entanglements of translation in Asian and Asian American contexts. The conversation will be grounded in Chenxing’s recent book, *one long listening: a memoir of grief, friendship, and spiritual care* (North Atlantic Books, 2023), and will also touch on May We Gather, a national Buddhist memorial of resilience, recovery, and repair.

Chenxing Han is the author of *Be the Refuge: Raising the Voices of Asian American Buddhists*; *one long listening: a memoir of grief, friendship, and spiritual care*; and numerous articles and book chapters for both academic and mainstream audiences. She is a frequent speaker and workshop leader at schools, universities, and Buddhist communities across the nation, and currently serves as the Khyentse Visitor in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan.

Lang Chen received her Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies from Yale University in 2015 and her Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School in 2006. Her research focused on Chinese literati’s creative use of Buddhism for literary innovation as well as spiritual liberation from the early modern period (16–17th century) onwards. She also studied the idea of “happiness” from Chinese and Buddhist perspectives. Lang is currently enrolled in the Master of Social Work program at the University of Michigan and working as an intern therapist at the Counseling and Psychological Services of the university. She was a caregiver of her late husband, who fought cancer heroically.

Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Romance Languages & Literatures

Speaker: Julián Gutiérrez Albilla, Professor of Spanish and Portuguese, Gender Studies and Comparative Literature at University of Souther California. His interests include Spanish and Latin American Cinema, Visual Culture, Gender Studies, Queer Theory, Psychoanalysis, Trauma and Memory. Among his books are Aesthetics, Ethics, and Trauma in the Cinema of Pedro Almodovar (2017) and Queering Buñuel: Sexual Dissidence and Psychoanalysis in his Mexican and Spanish Cinema (2008).

The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, this talk will reflect on Bracha L. Ettinger´s matrixial psychoanalysis´ explicit and implicit contribution to feminist and queer theory, and transgender studies by focusing on the representation and creation of affective relationships and border spaces of co-emergence and co-affection, thus creating and allegorizing trans-subjective encounters between artistic practices and spectators. This talk will present some of the aesthetic, ethical, and political implications underpinning Ettingerian psychoanalysis by emphasizing the dialogue and the productive tensions between Ettinger’s theoretical propositions and one of her most important interlocutors, namely Lacan. On the other hand, this paper focuses on finitude, mourning, and trans-subjectivity to offer a historical and theoretical account of how Spanish and Latin American visual artists and filmmakers have reflected, responded to, or remembered the AIDS epidemic since the 1980s. Drawing on Ettinger’s matrixial psychoanalysis, my talk conceives queer art and cinema of the 1980s and 1990s as a trans-subjective encounter between the spectator and the traces of individual and collective trauma that moves us beyond our individual and finite limits of ego, identity, and body. Emphasizing the transformative aesthetic, ethical, and political potential of this kind of trans-subjective mourning, my paper uses Ettinger’s term “wit(h)ness”—that is, bearing witness to and with the other—to describe how Spanish and Latin American queer artists and filmmakers of the 1980s and ‘90s used their art and cinema to engage audiences in a trans-subjective processing of the traumas associated with the loss, illness, and mortality exposed by the AIDS virus, while simultaneously gesturing towards an aesthetic, ethical, and political transformation in the way that individuals relate to each other.

The Role of an Activist Artist, Playwright/Librettist, in Post-Genocide Cambodia and in Human Rights

Featured Speaker: Catherine Filloux, Playwright/Librettist/Activist  Moderator: Dr. Nachiket Chanchani, Associate Professor, University of Michigan, Department of the History of Art. 

The role of activist artists (broadly conceived to include theater actors and librettists) in bearing witness, nurturing empathy, and peacebuilding in post-genocide Cambodia where severe human rights violations and other grievous injustices are rampant. The talk is in conjunction with UMMA Exhibition: Angkor Complex: Cultural Heritage and Post-Genocide Memory in Cambodia. Attendees will have the opportunity to visit the exhibition following the event. 

CATHERINE FILLOUX is an award-winning French Algerian American playwright and librettist who has been writing about human rights for many decades. Filloux’s new play “How to Eat an Orange” was commissioned by INTAR and is premiering at La MaMa in New York City. Her new musical “Welcome to the Big Dipper” (composer Jimmy Roberts, “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change”) premieres Off-Broadway at the York Theatre in New York City; it is a National Alliance for Musical Theatre finalist and received a workshop at the Redhouse Arts Center in Syracuse, NY (Hunter Foster, AD). Catherine’s new play “White Savior” was nominated for The Venturous Play List.

Something very strange seems to have happened a long time ago in a far-off land: a fortune-telling book was made the basis of a philosophical tradition. How did this system of prognostication come to be viewed as the ultimate authority in matters of cosmology, metaphysics, politics and ethics? With what consequences, and on what premises? How does this differ from traditions that take a different bit of their seemingly obsolete cultural technology—mythological narrative—as their touchpoint for developing philosophical thought? These will be our topics in this talk.

Brook A. Ziporyn is a scholar of ancient and medieval Chinese religion and philosophy. He received his BA in East Asian Languages and Civilizations from the University of Chicago, and his PhD from the University of Michigan. Prior to joining the Divinity School faculty, he has taught Chinese philosophy and religion at the University of Michigan (Department of Asian Languages and Cultures), Northwestern University (Department of Religion and Department of Philosophy), Harvard University (Department of East Asian Literature and Civilization) and the National University of Singapore (Department of Philosophy).

Dr. Ziporyn is the author of "Evil And/Or/As the Good: Omnicentric Holism, Intersubjectivity and Value Paradox in Tiantai Buddhist Thought" (Harvard, 2000), "The Penumbra Unbound: The Neo-Taoist Philosophy of Guo Xiang" (SUNY Press, 2003), "Being and Ambiguity: Philosophical Experiments With Tiantai Buddhism" (Open Court, 2004); "Zhuangzi: The Essential Writings with Selections from Traditional Commentaries" (Hackett, 2009); "Ironies of Oneness and Difference: Coherence in Early Chinese Thought; Prolegomena to the Study of Li" (SUNY Press, 2012); and "Beyond Oneness and Difference: Li and Coherence in Chinese Buddhist Thought and its Antecedents" (SUNY
Press, 2013). His seventh book, "Emptiness and Omnipresence: An Essential Introduction to Tiantai Buddhism," was published by Indiana University Press in 2016. He is currently working on a cross-cultural inquiry into the themes of death, time and perception, tentatively entitled "Against Being Here Now," as well as a book-length exposition of atheism as a form of religious and mystical experience in the intellectual histories of Europe, India and China. His translation of "Zhuangzi: The Complete Writings" was published by Hackett in 2020, and his translation of the "Daodejing" will be published by Liveright Books and the Norton Library in 2022.

Title: Colours in Early Phenomenology
Abstract: The aim of this talk is to present the views of early phenomenologists on colors. The first part of the talk will be devoted to their discussions on the essence of colors. As I will show, early phenomenologists argue that colors are physical entities according to their essence; more precisely, they are primitive physical entities. In this respect, early phenomenologists reject subjectivism about colors, that is, the thesis that colors are subjective or psychic entities as opposed to physical ones. In the second part of the talk, I will briefly present the views of early phenomenologists on the existence of colors. As I will argue, these authors think that the question of what colors are according to their essence is independent of the question of whether they exist in the outer world or not. In the third part of the talk, I will ask how early phenomenologists can ground truths about the nature of colors, in particular the truth that colors are physical, if these truths are independent of whether colors exist in the outer world, and thus hold even if they do not.
