The Color of Power: The Evolving Relationship Between Race, Skin Color and Power in American Politics

Skin color matters. Within and across ethnoracial groups, skin color affects life experiences, including one’s financial earnings, educational opportunities, health outcomes, exposure to discrimination, interactions with the criminal justice system, and sense of group belonging. While political coalitions in the U.S. have historically revolved around ethnoracial identities, Dr. Ostfeld draws on her book (co-authored with Nicole Yadon) to argue that skin color is an increasingly important component of how people are identifying themselves and staking positions in American racial politics.

The U.S. is experiencing unprecedented levels of political polarization relative to the past few decades, especially in terms of affective polarization, or feelings of dislike and distrust towards members of the opposing political party. In this winter talk series, we will hear from experts across disciplines (social psychology, political science, sociology, communication) in order to better understand why political polarization is so high and what, if anything, can we do about it.

RCGD Seminars will be held at ISR Thompson 1430. Events will be recorded. Graduate seminars precede the events from 2-3:30. To meet with external speakers or to find out more about these events, contact Rachael Hamilton at rachaelr@umich.edu.

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.

Children Living in Grandparent-Led and Multigenerational Families: Implications for Policy and Practice (Webinar)

The number of children living in multigenerational households has increased steadily since the 1980s. As of 2021, more than 10% of children (roughly 7.5 million) share a home with two or more generations. While the stays may be relatively short, overall, about 30% of children in the United States will live in a multigenerational or skipped-generation household at some point during their childhood. This is even more common for children of color and for those whose adult family members are low income. In this webinar, panelists will examine the scope of the issue and its implications for child well-being and security, as well as opportunities for policy and practice to support these children and their adult household members

- Natasha Pilkauskas, Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy; Poverty Solutions; University of Michigan
- J. Michael Collins, School of Human Ecology, University of Wisconsin–Madison
- LaShawnDa Pittman, Department of American Ethnic Studies, University of Washington

Understanding Osteoarthritis Pathogenesis using high throughput omic approaches. (January 18, 2024 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/116439 116439-21836824@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 18, 2024 12:00pm
Location: Dental & W.K. Kellogg Institute

Osteoarthritis (OA) is among the most prevalent chronic human health disorders and the most common form of
arthritis. Specific mechanisms associated with the joint destruction during OA are largely unknown. Due to the
lack of biomarkers, it is impossible to identify patients exhibiting early stages of OA, leading to severe joint
destruction. Furthermore, due to poor understanding of the underlying disease mechanisms, no approved
disease-modifying therapies to treat OA exist. Therefore, early detection and early intervention is critical to
restore joint functions.
My translational research program is directed towards:
(1) Understanding the complex cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with joint destruction during
osteoarthritis
(2) Identifying reliable biomarkers for early identification of patients with osteoarthritis to enable early
intervention using our large-scale OA biobank that we have created (over 150,000 banked specimens)
(3) Identifying novel therapeutic targets to stop/delay osteoarthritis and restore joint function
