Firearms recently surpassed motor vehicles as the leading cause of death for kids and teens in the U.S., and were involved in a record 45,000 deaths nationwide in 2020. The current toll hearkens back to the days of rising automobile crash deaths, which spurred a national effort to use injury prevention science to make changes that cut automobile deaths in half — not by taking cars off the road, but rather by making our roads and their drivers safer.

Today, experts from the U-M Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention are using the same strategy to understand and address firearm injuries and deaths. Through research, and partnerships with community leaders, they seek to make communities safer. Many are also front-line health care providers who have treated people with firearm injuries or risk factors for firearm violence or self-harm.

In this Well Aware, several of U-M’s top experts will discuss how we can best address this national crisis. Please submit questions for the Q&A session when you RSVP.

This virtual event will be hosted on Zoom. Please register at https://umich.formstack.com/forms/dec08_wellaware_rsvp to receive details about accessing the discussion the morning of the event.

Restoring confidence in our democracy (January 12, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102489 102489-21804127@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 12, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

Democracy has been increasingly contested around the world. A majority of Americans are not satisfied with how democratic systems in the United States are functioning. In a climate of deep partisan antagonism and widespread misinformation, confidence in our elections has been declining for a myriad of reasons. The real-world implications of this moment cannot be overstated.

Join us for a conversation hosted at the Ford School by The Carter Center and the Gerald R. Ford Foundation that tackles how to buttress voter confidence in our democracy. Former Michigan U.S. Representatives Andy Levin (D-MI) and Peter Meijer (R-MI) and Amb (ret) Susan D. Page, Michigan Law and Ford School professor from practice and Carter Center trustee, will explore the bipartisan challenge of restoring faith in our democratic systems and highlight ways individuals can be part of the solution as we work together to uphold the standards of our democracy.

This event is hosted at the University of Michigan as a partnership between The Carter Center and the Gerald R. Ford Foundation. Political rivals and close collaborators, Presidents Carter and Ford held a shared understanding of the sanctity of our democratic systems. Since its founding in 1982, The Carter Center has focused its efforts outside the United States. Drawing from this expertise, the organization has shifted attention to the challenges faced in the United States. The Center’s Democracy Program supports U.S. elections by bolstering democratic norms and values, increasing trust and understanding of the electoral process, and responding to the challenges posed by mis-, dis- and mal-information. The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation has long partnered with the Ford School on educational programming that serves the public interest. The Foundation advances the principle that public order requires the cultivation of virtue within both the citizenry and political leaders. Its emphasis on civic education, civility, personal and political integrity, service to community and nation, political cooperation and compromise, and courage reflects the life and career of President Ford.

The Role of Data Collection in Population Science: Contemporary Studies from ABCD to HBCD

Abstract

Recently nationwide consortiums of multiple research sites have conducted multi-modal, longitudinal cohort studies and provided unprecedented data sources for population science research. For example, the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study has collected data from 11,880 children ages 9-10 across 21 U.S. research sites, as the largest long-term study of brain development and child health; and the Healthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study will enroll 7,500 pregnant women across 25 research sites and follow them from pregnancy through early childhood, as the largest long-term study of early brain and child development in the U.S. Both studies aim to reflect the sociodemographic diversity of the target population to enable characterization of natural variability and trajectories. Without probability sampling as the touchstone for randomization-based inferences, the data quality and analysis validity require rigorous evaluations and potentially rely on untestable assumptions. The data collection process also presents various challenges during practical operation.

In this talk, I look into both inference and design schemes to study the impact of data collection on population science. First, using the ABCD study as an example of secondary data analysis, I discuss inference approaches focusing on multilevel regression and poststratification for population generalizability and latent subgroup detection for population heterogeneity in brain activity and association studies. Second, I introduce the HBCD study design. HBCD also aims to include individuals demographically and behaviorally similar to those in the substance exposure group, but without exposure, to enable valid causal inference in a non-experimental study design. I discuss our proposed weighting, matching, and modeling strategies to leverage analysis goals to inform the design and dashboard monitoring for adaptive sample enrollment.

Yajuan Si is a Research Associate Professor in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. Dr Si’s research lies in cutting-edge methodology development in streams of Bayesian statistics, linking design- and model-based approaches for survey inference, missing data analysis, confidentiality protection involving the creation and analysis of synthetic datasets, and causal inference with observational data.

Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science (MPSDS)
The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques (SISRT)
The mission of the Summer Institute is to provide rigorous and high quality graduate training in all phases of survey research. The program teaches state-of-the-art practice and theory in the design, implementation, and analysis of surveys. The Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques has presented courses on the sample survey since the summer of 1948, and has offered such courses every summer since. Graduate-level courses through the Program in Survey and Data Science are offered from June 5 through July 28 and available to enroll in as a Summer Scholar.

The Summer Institute uses the sample survey as the basic instrument for the scientific measurement of human activity. It presents sample survey methods in courses designed to meet the educational needs of those specializing in social and behavioral research such as professionals in business, public health, natural resources, law, medicine, nursing, social work, and many other domains of study.

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.

Indigenous DNA and Data: Community Approaches to Equity in Genomics and Health (February 6, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102955 102955-21805603@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 6, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Science, Technology, and Public Policy (STPP) Program

Indigenous people still constitute <1% of participants in precision and genomic medicine research despite endeavors to increase inclusivity. Past ethical issues related to Indigenous genomics have not been adequately reconciled and are now being repeated in the new era of Big Data. Concerns persist about the collectivization of Indigenous data into open-access databases that circumvent tribal research oversight, the underestimation of socioeconomic and cultural factors contributing to health disparities, and continued biocommercial exploitation of Indigenous biomarkers.

Dr. Tsosie will describe community-engaged research and describe paths forward that center Indigenous people as the agents of access for their own genomic and health data. The future of Indigenous genomics is not mere inclusion but through recognition of Indigenous genomic and data sovereignty.

Location: Off Campus Location
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.

Riot or Rebellion?: The Meaning of Violent Protest from the 1960s to George Floyd (February 9, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103296 103296-21806757@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 9, 2023 12:00pm
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.

Privacy@Michigan Keynote: Privacy, Power, & Platforms (February 17, 2023 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/104323 104323-21808823@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 17, 2023 11:00am
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Register to join the 2023 Privacy@Michigan keynote with Dr. Kirsten Martin on Friday, February 17 at 11 a.m.

Dr. Kirsten Martin for a Privacy@Michigan keynote presentation on privacy expectations on online platforms. Standard approaches to privacy assume individuals relinquish privacy expectations when online or have focused on individuals in relation to a single company. Platforms, such as social media, marketplaces, search engines, etc, are unique in having duties beyond a standard company while also having access to the data of millions of individuals. Dr. Martin will discuss how we need to think about platforms, particularly powerful platforms, as having an obligation to respect the privacy of their users and what that obligation actually entails. Dr. Martin is a University of Michigan College of Engineering alumna.

Dr. Florian Schaub, Assistant Professor of Information, School of Information and Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, College of Engineering, will facilitate Q&A time after the keynote presentation.

This hybrid event will be hosted in person in Forum Hall, on the fourth floor of Palmer Commons, and livestreamed on the Privacy@Michigan events page [https://safecomputing.umich.edu/events/privacy-at-michigan/privacy-day-2023/Keynote-Dr-Martin]

Refreshments will be available just prior to the event.

CREES Noon Lecture. Unpacking "Traditional Values" in Russia’s Conservative Turn: Gender, Sexuality, and the Soviet Legacy (February 22, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102688 102688-21804985@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 22, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

In the decade before Russia’s most recent invasion of Ukraine, scholars have been marking a conservative turn in Russian policy and practice through the lens of gender and sexuality. In a recent project, Valerie Sperling, Alexandra Novitskaya, Janet Elise Johnson, and Lisa Sundstrom examined these dynamics in two decades of Putin’s annual speeches to domestic audiences, and in Russian public opinion data, finding differing degrees of sexism and LGBTQ-phobia among Russia’s state leader and the public. While there has been a somewhat conservative trend in what Putin says regarding women’s rights, there has been a far more conservative one on LGBTQ+ issues. We find that Putin’s speeches and public opinion on these topics echo Soviet approaches, suggesting that the conservative “turn” amounts more to a “return” than to a novel development under Putin. However, examining this data also shows that Putin’s shift toward conservatism, most noticeable starting in 2021—and especially on LGBTQ+ issues—can inform our understanding of his decision to launch a full-scale war against Ukraine.

Valerie Sperling is professor of political science at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. Her research interests lie mainly at the intersection of Russian politics and gender studies. She is the author of *Organizing Women in Contemporary Russia* (2000); *Altered States: The Globalization of Accountability* (2009); and the award-winning *Sex, Politics, and Putin: Political Legitimacy in Russia* (2015). She and Lisa McIntosh Sundstrom (with Melike Sayoglu) are co-authors of *Courting Gender Justice: Russia, Turkey, and the European Court of Human Rights* (2019). Her most recent book, co-authored with her Clark colleague, Robert Boatright, is *Trumping Politics as Usual: Masculinity, Misogyny, and the 2016 Elections* (2020). In recent years she has published articles in *East European Politics and Societies, Post-Soviet Affairs,* and *International Journal of Human Rights*.

Conversations on Europe. Russian Gas and European Supply Chains: Examining the Consequences of the War in Ukraine for Europe’s Energy Policies (March 6, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/101973 101973-21803060@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 6, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for European Studies

After Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24th, the European Union (EU) announced its plans to suspend imports of Russian energy sources definitively, under its RepowerEU plan. The immediate consequence of the plan is a widespread supply shock to European economies. In this lecture, Prof. Kang will discuss how EU-Russia economic relations have developed so far and how Russia's aggression over Ukraine changed Europe's geo-economic and political landscape. He will also provide an economic forecast of European countries and the possible impact on developing countries.

Yoo-Duk Kang is professor of economics at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (HUFS) in Seoul, Korea, where he was previously dean of the language and trade division and editor of the HUFS Press. He teaches undergraduate courses in international economics and trade, and graduate courses in development economics and EU studies. His main research interests are trade policy, economic integration, and comparative studies of economic policies. He is also deeply interested in European studies from an economic perspective. Previously, Kang worked at the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy (KIEP), where he published 40 policy reports about issues related to European economies, and as an external consultant for the Korean Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Industry and Trade, participating in implementation and assessment of Korea’s trade agreements. Professor Kang has contributed more than 70 academic articles to journals including the *Journal of European Integration*, *Journal of Contemporary European Studies*, *Journal of Economic Integration*, and *Asian Development Review*. He is co-author and contributor of 30 books about international economics and European studies.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

In Russia and the Baltic states, competing ideologies of sovereignty have defined their positions in international relations and towards the war in Ukraine. I discuss how Russia’s sovereign ideologies of a great power and Lithuania’s as its victim were mutually constitutive after the collapse of the USSR. After 2014, the Baltics’ radical politics of sovereignty, grounded in its history of occupation and resistance against the USSR/Russia, has become a framework to imagine the imminent war and, after 2022, the future of Europe with its center in the East.

Neringa Klumbytė is associate professor of anthropology, Havighurst Faculty at the Havighurst Center for Russian and Post-Soviet Studies, and director of the Lithuania program at the Havighurst Center, Miami University. She is the author of *Authoritarian Laughter: Political Humor and Soviet Dystopia in Lithuania* (Cornell, 2022); co-editor of *Soviet Society in the Era of Late Socialism, 1964–85*, with Gulnaz Sharafutdinova (Lexington, 2012); and co-author of *Social and Historical Justice in Multiethnic Lithuania: Ideas, Experiences, and Contexts*, with Monika Frėjutė-Rakauskienė, Andrius Marcinkevičius, and Kristina Šliavaitė (Center for Social Research, 2018). She was the editor of *Perspectives in Europe*. Her work has focused on topics of authoritarianism; sovereignty; (post)colonialism, nationalism, and ethnicity; electoral politics; propaganda and censorship; historical justice and memory studies; political satire and humor; food, consumption, and marketing.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

For more info and to apply: https://www.cew.umich.edu/advocacy-initiatives/twink-frey-visiting-social-activist-program

Each year the Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist (TFVSA) Program brings to CEW+ a social justice activist whose work affects women and recognizes gender equity issues. One goal of the program is to build the capacity and effectiveness of social activists by giving the TFVSA time, space, and support to work on a project that would not be possible under the activist’s usual working circumstances.

The TFVSA program gives the selected TFVSA time for reflection, research, planning, and writing related to their area of activism. Each TFVSA is required to work on a project that will advance their future work and potentially benefit other activists.

If selected, the applicant is invited to reside near campus for up to one month or make intermittent visits to Ann Arbor and work remotely. The 2024 residency will take place during the winter semester with a presentation of their project the following fall semester at the CEW+ Annual Advocacy Symposium. The activist receives a $10,000 stipend to cover their expenses while in Ann Arbor. Travel expenses to and from Ann Arbor are separately reimbursed by the endowment fund.

ELIGIBILITY

The TFVSA program supports activists whose work addresses gender equity issues that affect the lives of women and/or girls. The program defines social justice and equity programs broadly to include activism in such areas as housing, employment, income support, food security, education, violence, child care, health care, and employer benefits like paid sick leave and retirement income.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science

MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series
March 15, 2023
12:00 - 1:00 EST

The Zoom call will be locked 10 minutes after the start of the presentation.

Annette Jäckle is Professor of Survey Methodology at the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex, UK and Associate Director of Innovations and Co-Investigator of the UK Household Longitudinal Study: Understanding Society. Her research interests are in methodology of data collection for longitudinal studies, mixed mode data collection, questionnaire design, respondent consent to data linkage, and new ways of using mobile devices for survey data collection.

Abstract
Data linkage usually requires informed consent of respondents, whether for legal or ethical reasons. A common problem is that when consent questions are asked in self-completion surveys, respondents are much less likely to consent than when they are asked for consent in interviewer administered surveys. In the existing literature, predictors of consent are mostly inconsistent, between studies, but also between different consents asked within one study. In addition, experiments with the wording of consent questions have often had no or inconsistent effects. Why is this? And what can be done to increase informed consent to data linkage? This presentation provides an overview of what we have learnt from qualitative in-depth interviews and a series of experiments implemented in two UK probability household panels (the Understanding Society Innovation Panel and COVID-19 study) and in the UK PopulusLive online access panel. We address the following questions. (1) How do respondents decide whether to consent to data linkage? (2) Why are respondents less likely to consent in web than CAPI surveys? (3) How best to ask for multiple consents within a survey? (4) Which wording and formats affect informed consent and why? We end the overview with a summary of the practical implications for how best to ask for consent to data linkage.

Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science (MPSDS)
The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques (SISRT)
The mission of the Summer Institute is to provide rigorous and high quality graduate training in all phases of survey research. The program teaches state-of-the-art practice and theory in the design, implementation, and analysis of surveys. The Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques has presented courses on the sample survey since the summer of 1948, and has offered such courses every summer since. Graduate-level courses through the Program in Survey and Data Science are offered from June 5 through July 28 and available to enroll in as a Summer Scholar.

The Summer Institute uses the sample survey as the basic instrument for the scientific measurement of human activity. It presents sample survey methods in courses designed to meet the educational needs of those specializing in social and behavioral research such as professionals in business, public health, natural resources, law, medicine, nursing, social work, and many other domains of study.

WCED Book Talk. "Mobilizing for Elections: Patronage and Political Machines in Southeast Asia" (March 21, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102575 102575-21804257@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 21, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies

Politicians in Southeast Asia, as in many other regions, win elections by distributing cash, goods, jobs, projects, and other benefits to supporters, but the ways in which they do this vary tremendously, both across and within countries. "Mobilizing for Elections" presents a new framework for analyzing variation in patronage democracies, focusing on distinct forms of patronage and different networks through which it is distributed. The book draws on an extensive, multi-country, multi-year research effort involving interactions with hundreds of politicians and vote brokers, as well as surveys of voters and political campaigners across the region. - Cambridge University Press, 2022

Edward Aspinall is a Professor in the Department of Political and Social Change, Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, Australian National University. He researches politics in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia, with interests in democratization, ethnicity, and clientelism, among other topics.

Paul Hutchcroft is a scholar of comparative and Southeast Asian politics who has written extensively on Philippine politics and political economy. He is Professor of Political and Social Change in the Australian National University’s Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs (of which he was founding director, 2009-2013).

Allen Hicken is Professor of Political Science at U-M where he is also an affiliate at the Center for Political Studies, the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, and WCED. He is currently a Visiting Professor at Singapore Management University in the School of Social Sciences. His work focuses on political institutions, political economy, and policy making with a special focus on Southeast Asia, where he focuses on Thailand and the Philippines, but has also work in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Timor Leste.

Meredith L. Weiss is Professor of Political Science in the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs & Policy at the University at Albany, SUNY. She has published widely on social mobilization and civil society, the politics of identity and development, electoral politics and parties, institutional reform, and subnational governance in Southeast Asia, with particular focus on Malaysia and Singapore.

This lecture will be presented in person in 1010 Weiser Hall and on Zoom. Webinar registration required at http://myumi.ch/5W7Qq

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Erb Institute / Ross Business School and School for Environment & Sustainability

We are excited to host a timely discussion about ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) at Ross Business School in March, featuring Elizabeth Doty (Director, Erb Corporate Political Responsibility Taskforce); Bennett Freeman (Associate Fellow of Chatham House and former Senior Vice President of Calvert Investments); Vik Khanna (William W. Cook Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School); and moderated by Erb Institute Faculty Director, Tom Lyon.

As the ESG agenda has gained traction and momentum over the last decade, it has attracted inevitable criticism and a backlash—and now even a backlash to the backlash. Not only is ESG investing under attack, but the battle also extends to the future of corporate responsibility and sustainability more broadly — and in turn the respective roles of business and government— with high stakes for both action and inaction. Some issues are technical and methodological, related to ESG metrics and funds. Other issues are more ideological and political, challenging the notion of business purpose, pitting shareholder primacy against stakeholder capitalism, and raising questions about the appropriate role of corporations in the policy arena. This timely event will explore the drivers of this battle over ESG and offer solutions for moving forward.

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

It is increasingly recognized that policies have played a role in both alleviating and exacerbating the health and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. While prior work has focused on characterizing and analyzing the effects of federal and state policies, there has been limited systematic evaluation of variation in U.S. local (i.e., county) COVID-19-related policies. This virtual webinar introduces the U.S. COVID-19 County Policy (UCCP) Database, whose objective is to systematically gather, characterize, and assess variation in U.S. county-level COVID-19-related policies. Data collection is still ongoing for this NIH and PCORI-funded database. Dr. Hamad will describe the data collection methods and some preliminary results.

The PSC Brown Bag Series runs Mondays from 12 to 12:50 p.m.

Corinne Low of Wharton, University of Pennsylvania, presents online only:

Traditional Institutions in Modern Times: Dowries as Pensions When Sons Migrate
This paper examines whether an important cultural institution in India – dowry – can enable male migration by increasing liquidity at the time of marriage. We hypothesize that one cost of migration is the disruption of traditional elderly support structures, where sons co-reside with their parents and care for them in their old age. Dowry can attenuate this cost by providing sons and parents with a liquid transfer that eases constraints on income sharing. To test this hypothesis, we collect two novel datasets on property rights over dowry among migrants and among families of migrants. Net transfers of dowry to a man’s parents are common. Consistent with using dowry for income sharing, transfers occur more when sons migrate, especially when they work in higher-earning occupations. Nationally representative data confirms that migration rates are higher in areas with stronger historical dowry traditions. Finally, exploiting a large-scale highway construction program, we show that men from areas with stronger dowry traditions have a higher migration response to reduced migration costs. Despite its potentially adverse consequences, dowry may play a role in facilitating migration and, therefore, economic development

* Theresa Landrum (48217 community organizer & activist);
* Vincent Martin (Detroit community activist);
* Lula Odom (retired from International Chemical Workers Union Council for Worker Health & Safety Education, Cincinnati).

The disproportionate impacts of disasters for communities of color have been documented repeatedly for both natural and human-caused disasters. In Michigan:
* More than 500,000 Michigan residents live within one mile of a facility storing large amounts of extremely hazardous chemicals;
* Those residents are disproportionately Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) and confront daily risks of spills, explosions, and other environmental disasters at the facilities, as well as from the transport of chemicals to and from them through their communities;
* Children of color are more than two times as likely as white children in Michigan to live in the shadow of facilities housing hazardous substances.

This event, organized by Detroit community leaders with support from local academic institutions, will:
* Discuss why emergency preparedness and response is an environmental and climate justice issue;
* Describe gaps and challenges in Detroit’s emergency preparedness and response, from and environmental and climate justice perspective;
* Share recommendations for improving emergency preparedness and response for environmental and climate justice communities.

Organized By: UNICEF at the University of Michigan

This year, for our second annual gala, UNICEF-UM is focusing on ending child marriage in the United States of America. UNICEF defines child marriage as "a harmful practice and a violation of child rights and believes that marriage under age 18 should be prohibited in all circumstances, everywhere." Both UNICEF and the United Nations declare child marriage a human rights violation.

While our gala seeks to celebrate the work of our incredible members over the past academic year, and recognize and send off our seniors, we also hope to inspire our university community to take action with us in an effort to protect children.


UNICEF at Michigan also welcomes three special guests:

Dr. Fatma Müge Göçek: Dr. Göçek is UNICEF UM's faculty advisor and Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan.

Her research focuses on the comparative analysis of history, politics, and gender in the first and third worlds. She critically analyzes the impact of processes such as development, nationalism, religious movements, and collective violence on minorities. She is currently working on a theory book, constructing social theory from the vantage point of minorities. Learn more here.

Paul Callejas: Paul is a Community Engagement Associate for the Midwestern United States and has become an integral connection for UNICEF UM's members who are eager to take their commitment to UNICEF USA to the next level. We welcome Paul as our special guest to thank him for his immense efforts in community mobilization and youth empowerment.

Paul grew up in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago. Being a product of the public school system, Paul believes that all youth deserve an equal chance of success. He has defeated many socioeconomic barriers as an indigenous man from Guerrero, Mexico; Paul has over six years of youth development and project planning, working with various non-profit organizations. He aspires to help as many Chicago teens reach their potential and become global citizens. Learn more here.

Last year saw both South Korea and Japan transformed by traumatic public events that have rekindled the debate over how these two countries with poor track-records in mental health and some of the highest suicide rates in the world deal with the repercussions of mass trauma. The Halloween stampede in Seoul, which resulted in 159 people dead and scores more injured, and the assassination of Japan's longest serving prime minister in Japan, Shinzo Abe, several months earlier, have left the East Asian societies in need of mourning, only to see the domestic debate overtaken by domestic politics. That has left the victims—and the societies at large—with unanswered questions about the state of public mental health. To address these questions, the roundtable will bring together two journalists with extensive experience in East Asia covering politics and society to discuss the role of media in managing mass trauma.

KyeongRak Min is a reporter in the media strategy department for Korea’s Yonhap News Agency, where he has covered the economy, finance, social affairs and North Korea. He has done extensive reporting on the societal and policy roots of Korea’s high suicide rate, and directed a short film about Seoul’s “Suicide Bridge.” Before working as a reporter, Min produced documentaries for the Wonju station of MBC, a major South Korean broadcasting company. Min majored in public administration at Yonsei University and earned a master’s degree in economics at Yonsei Graduate School.

Antoni Slodkowski was the Tokyo correspondent for the Financial Times and the deputy bureau chief at Reuters in Tokyo. In that role, Slodkowski led the bureau’s politics and general news team and its coverage of the Olympics and the pandemic. He returned to Japan after four years in Myanmar, where his team covered the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya, winning the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. A native of Poland, Slodkowski is a graduate of the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies.

Moderated by Ann Lin, Director, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies & Professor, Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

This presentation will track a series of discoveries of previously unknown atmospheric forces, made in Vienna between the 1770s and 1850s: animal magnetism, Aereon, and Od. I propose that these belonged to a larger category of atmospheric influences on living things whose workings were obscure yet tantalizing, including ozone, moonlight, and “atmospheric electricity” (the last a new designation to distinguish it from that generated by electrical machines).

The controversies that surrounded the discoveries of these forces need to be recognized as episodes in an overlooked history: the history of investigating the interrelations of life and the atmosphere. I show how this strain of research reflected the Habsburgs’ imperial and industrial ambitions. It is a story with telling parallels in present-day attempts to study the determinants of environmental health and to measure what experts refer to as “degrees of vulnerability” to climate change.

12:00 - 1:00 EST

Stephanie Morales is a second-year Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan's Program in Survey and Data Science. She holds a BA in Psychology and an MA in Sociology. She is interested in cross-cultural surveys, measurement error in data collection with racial/ethnic minorities, and adaptive survey design.

Assessing Cross-Cultural Comparability of Self-Rated Health and Its Conceptualization through Web Probing

Self-rated health (SRH) is a widely used question across different fields, as it is simple to administer yet has been shown to predict mortality. SRH asks respondents to rate their overall health typically using Likert-type response scales (i.e., excellent, very good, good, fair, poor). Although SRH is commonly used, few studies have examined its conceptualization from the respondents’ point of view and even less so for differences in its conceptualization across diverse populations. We aim to assess the comparability of SRH across different cultural groups by investigating the factors that respondents consider when responding to the SRH question. We included an open-ended probe asking what respondents thought when responding to SRH in web surveys conducted in five countries: Great Britain, Germany, the U.S., Spain, and Mexico. In the U.S., we targeted six racial/ethnic and linguistic groups: English-dominant Koreans, Korean-dominant Koreans, English-dominant Latinos, Spanish-dominant Latinos, non-Latino Black Americans, and non-Latino White Americans. One novelty of our study is allowing multiple attribute codes (e.g., health behaviors, illness) per respondent and tone (e.g., in the direction of positive or negative health or neutral) of the probing responses for each attribute, allowing us 1) to assess respondents’ thinking process holistically and 2) to examine whether and how respondents mix attributes. Our study compares the number of reported attributes and tone by cultural groups and integrates SRH responses in the analysis. This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of SRH by revealing the cognitive processes among diverse populations and is expected to shed light on its cross-cultural comparability.

Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science (MPSDS)
The University of Michigan Program in Survey Methodology was established in 2001 seeking to train future generations of survey and data scientists. In 2021, we changed our name to the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science. Our curriculum is concerned with a broad set of data sources including survey data, but also including social media posts, sensor data, and administrative records, as well as analytic methods for working with these new data sources. And we bring to data science a focus on data quality — which is not at the center of traditional data science. The new name speaks to what we teach and work on at the intersection of social research and data. The program offers doctorate and master of science degrees and a certificate through the University of Michigan. The program's home is the Institute for Social Research, the world's largest academically-based social science research institute.

Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques (SISRT)
The mission of the Summer Institute is to provide rigorous and high quality graduate training in all phases of survey research. The program teaches state-of-the-art practice and theory in the design, implementation, and analysis of surveys. The Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques has presented courses on the sample survey since the summer of 1948, and has offered such courses every summer since. Graduate-level courses through the Program in Survey and Data Science are offered from June 5 through July 28 and available to enroll in as a Summer Scholar.

The Summer Institute uses the sample survey as the basic instrument for the scientific measurement of human activity. It presents sample survey methods in courses designed to meet the educational needs of those specializing in social and behavioral research such as professionals in business, public health, natural resources, law, medicine, nursing, social work, and many other domains of study.

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.

Race, Politics, and the Modern Metropolis: A Conversation with Thomas J. Sugrue (April 13, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104261 104261-21808754@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 13, 2023 6:00pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

NOTE: ASL interpretation will be provided for this event.

Come join Thomas J. Sugrue in conversation with U-M historians Angela D. Dillard and Matthew D. Lassiter as they discuss the historical roots of the current challenges facing American cities. Sugrue is the author of The Origins of the Urban Crisis: Race and Inequality in Postwar Detroit, a landmark study tracing the decline of the Motor City to factors including racism, housing discrimination, and deindustrialization, all conditions that predated the 1967 uprising. He has also written widely praised books about President Barack Obama and the struggle for civil rights in the north.

Born in Detroit, Thomas J. Sugrue is Silver Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis and History and director of the Cities Collaborative at New York University. A specialist in twentieth-century American politics, urban history, civil rights, and race, he is the author of four books, among them The Origins of the Urban Crisis: Race and Inequality in Postwar Detroit (1996) and Sweet Land of Liberty: The Forgotten Struggle for Civil Rights in the North (2008). He is a frequent media commentator on modern American history, politics, civil rights, and urban policy.

Angela D. Dillard is Richard A. Meisler Collegiate Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies, History, and in the Residential College at the University of Michigan. Her publications include Faith in the City: Preaching Radical Social Change in Detroit (2007) and A Different Shade of Freedom: The Making of Civil Rights Conservatism in America (forthcoming). In addition to serving as chair of the History Department she is also co-PI on the Michigan-Mellon Egalitarian Metropolis project.

Matthew D. Lassiter is Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of History and of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Michigan. His publications include Detroit Under Fire: Police Violence, Crime Politics, and the Struggle for Racial Justice in the Civil Rights Era (2021) and The Suburban Crisis: White America and the War on Drugs (forthcoming). Lassiter is also co-PI of the Carceral State Project's Documenting Criminalization, Confinement, and Resistance initiative.

This event is presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

Facilitated by Kourtney Pony, MD/MBA Candidate, University of Michigan; Rachel Bergmans, MPH, PhD, Research Investigator, University of Michigan Department of Anesthesiology, Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center (CPFRC)

This workshop references work with the Community Advisory Board for Lupus Care and Research (Lupus CAB) as a starting point to discuss racial inequities in healthcare and lupus more specifically. The presentation will be co-led by Kourtney Pony (student lead for the Lupus CAB, 3rd-year medical student) and Dr. Rachel Bergmans (faculty co-leader for the CPFRC Health Equity Core). The workshop will be a mixture of a lecture and group discussion to highlight racial inequities in healthcare. Participants will be divided into groups to discuss a series of questions as each inequity is revealed and they will learn from data that address each response. The nuance this workshop aims to capture is that there is a history of mistreatment towards Black patients within medicine, and there are still present-day problems that we must address to reduce inequities in lupus care and research, as well as the healthcare system in general.

How Do We Think of Social Diversity: History and Politics in the Work of René Zavaleta Mercado (April 17, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/106684 106684-21814695@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 17, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Romance Languages & Literatures

Today’s call for diversity in the United States quite often reduces itself to body count. René Zavaleta Mercado (1937-1984), one of Latin America’s most imaginative social scientists, confronted the question of respecting diversity in the analysis of social reality in the twentieth century. *Towards a History of the National Popular in Bolivia*, now translated into English for the first time, confronts this question not only in terms of mere inclusion but in terms of a “motley” social situation, devising methodology to represent its demand.

Luis Tapia, our speaker, another imaginative Bolivian thinker and activist, is the leading expert on Zavaleta. In his own book, *The Production of Local Knowledge: History and Politics in the Work of René Zavaleta Mercado*, also translated into English for the first time, he lays out an epistemological program to make Zavaleta’s injunction real. Tapia’s talk will evolve from a crucial question: ‘How do we have to change ourselves so that the idea of a “motley” society does not turn into voting blocs, destroying democracy?

An Ordinary Man: The Surprising Life and Historic Presidency of Gerald R. Ford (April 17, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/107198 107198-21815614@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 17, 2023 6:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

Join the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation and the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library & Museum for an event at the Ford School hosted as part of the long-awaited book tour for Richard Norton Smith's An Ordinary Man. Richard Norton Smith will be joined in conversation with Hank Meijer to explore Richard’s new book An Ordinary Man: The Surprising Life and Historic Presidency of Gerald R. Ford.

About the book
From the preeminent presidential scholar and acclaimed biographer of historical figures including George Washington, Herbert Hoover, and Nelson Rockefeller comes this eye-opening life of Gerald R. Ford, whose presidency arguably set the course for post-liberal America and a post-Cold War world.

For many Americans, President Gerald Ford was the genial accident of history who controversially pardoned his Watergate-tarnished predecessor, presided over the fall of Saigon, and became a punching bag on Saturday Night Live. Yet as Richard Norton Smith reveals in a book full of surprises, Ford was an underrated leader whose tough decisions and personal decency look better with the passage of time.

Drawing on hundreds of interviews and thousands of documents, Smith recreates Ford’s hardscrabble childhood in Michigan, his early anti-establishment politics and lifelong love affair with the former Betty Bloomer, whose impact on American culture he predicted would outrank his own. As president, Ford guided the nation through its worst Constitutional crisis since the Civil War and broke the back of the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression—accomplishing both with little fanfare or credit (at least until 2001 when the JFK Library gave him its prestigious Profile in Courage Award in belated recognition of the Nixon pardon).

Less coda than curtain raiser, Ford's administration bridged the Republican pragmatism of Eisenhower and Nixon and the more doctrinaire conservatism of Ronald Reagan. His introduction of economic deregulation would transform the American economy, while his embrace of the Helsinki Accords hastened the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Illustrated with sixteen pages of black-and-white photos, this definitive biography, a decade in the making, will change history’s views of a man whose warning about presidential arrogance (“God help the country”) is more relevant than ever.

Artists and musicians have long relied on their own creativity and originality to produce works that inspire, move, and delight audiences. But what happens when we introduce generative AI tools into the creative process? In this panel discussion, a group of experts will discuss how artificial intelligence tools work and the opportunities and challenges they pose for music and art composition. From defining creativity to assessing intellectual property, panelists will examine the complex issues that artists and musicians face when using AI to compose novel music and art. They will also consider the potential disruption that generative AI tools may bring to existing modes of creative composition and how this could impact the future of the arts. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation about the intersection of technology and the future of creative work.

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.

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

The Psychology of Borrowing: Evidence from Kenyan Dairy Farmers

Kevin Carney of the University of Michigan presents.

Access to credit can be an important part of the economic development process: credit allows financially constrained firms to make productive investments and increase their output. Microfinance has been proposed as a vehicle for economic growth, yet recent evidence has shown that microfinance has not achieved the transformative effects that were initially hypothesized. Using a series of field experiments, we explore whether principles from psychology and economics can be employed to improve lending models for smallholder dairy farmers in Kenya. The first experiment studies the borrower side of the problem, focusing on how the endowment effect interacts with collateral requirements to influence demand for loans. The second experiment examines the lender side, exploring how to optimize financial contracts to increase take-up while managing default risk.

Kevin Carney is an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan's Department of Economics, studying development and behavioral economics. His research uses field experiments to answer policy questions in developing countries, spanning a broad range of topics including household finance, health economics, and political economy. Kevin received a Ph.D. in public policy from Harvard University and was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Chicago.

Group Dynamics Fall 2023 Seminar Series: Psychological Diversity across the Globe
Do our cultural contexts influence our psychology and behavior — and if so, how? In this RCGD series, we delve into the socio-ecological, histo-cultural, and economic dynamics shaping the diversity of selfhood and its associated cognitive, emotional, and motivational processes. We go beyond the traditional East and West focus to include a wide range of cultural groups. This series will elucidate the implications of psychological diversity across the globe for policies in international relations, politics, economics, business, immigration, and other relevant domains.


Organized by Shinobu Kitayama and Catherine Thomas
In person: ISR Thompson 1430
As permissions allow, seminars from this series are later posted to ISR's YouTube playlist.


The series runs Mondays from 3:30 to 5.


About the Group Dynamics Seminar Series

The Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent seminars have included discussions in “Law and Psychology,” “Racism and Discrimination,” “Social Media,” and “Political Polarization.” The series is offered by the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD), at the Institute for Social Research.

Advancing Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in STEMM Organizations: Beyond Broadening Participation (September 21, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/112153 112153-21828515@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 21, 2023 10:00am
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Rackham Professional Development and Engagement

Every individual, regardless of race, ethnicity, or country of origin deserves the opportunity to pursue an education or career in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) in a welcoming, supportive, and antiracist environment. Yet, despite considerable investments to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEMM organizations, substantial barriers continue to produce systematically inequitable opportunities and outcomes. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a committee, and developed a newly released consensus report titled Advancing Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in STEMM Organizations: Beyond Broadening Participation, which synthesizes the existing body of research on antiracism, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI) in STEMM organizations and provides guidance and a set of recommendations for stakeholders across the STEMM enterprise to build ADEI into existing systems. This upcoming event at the University of Michigan will provide an overview of the entire report as well as the set of recommendations within it. This event will be followed by a smaller discussion session of the report over lunch between the speaker and students.

Policy Talks at The Ford School: The Injustice of Place (October 4, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/112093 112093-21828426@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 4, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

Join for a conversation with the co-authors of The Injustice of Place alongside Michigan Congressman Dan Kildee and Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan COO Nicole Sherard-Freeman. Released in August 2023, The Injustice of Place sheds light on America’s most disadvantaged communities, tracing the legacies of our nation’s places of deepest need—including inequalities shaping people’s health, livelihoods, and upward social mobility for families. Wrung dry by powerful forces and corrupt government officials, the “internal colonies” in these regions were exploited for their resources and then left to collapse.

The book's co-authors will reflect briefly on the book, followed by an armchair conversation with Congressman Dan Kildee (D-MI) and Nicole Sherard-Freeman (COO, Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan).

About The Injustice of Place
Three of the nation’s top scholars ­– known for tackling key mysteries about poverty in America – turn their attention from the country’s poorest people to its poorest places. Based on a fresh, data-driven approach, they discover that America’s most disadvantaged communities are not the big cities that get the most notice. Instead, nearly all are rural. Little if any attention has been paid to these places or to the people who make their lives there.

This revelation set in motion a five-year journey across Appalachia, the Cotton and Tobacco Belts of the Deep South, and South Texas. Immersing themselves in these communities, pouring over centuries of local history, attending parades and festivals, the authors trace the legacies of the deepest poverty in America—including inequalities shaping people’s health, livelihoods, and upward social mobility for families. Wrung dry by powerful forces and corrupt government officials, the “internal colonies” in these regions were exploited for their resources and then left to collapse.

The unfolding revelation in The Injustice of Place is not about what sets these places apart, but about what they have in common—a history of raw, intensive resource extraction and human exploitation. This history and its reverberations demand a reckoning and a commitment to wage a new War on Poverty, with the unrelenting focus on our nation’s places of deepest need.

The Injustice of Place (October 4, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/111751 111751-21827538@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 4, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Poverty Solutions

Join for a conversation with Kathryn Edin, Luke Shaefer, and Tim Nelson, the co-authors of The Injustice of Place; alongside Michigan Congressman Dan Kildee and Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan COO Nicole Sherard-Freeman. Shaefer is the faculty director of Poverty Solutions at U-M, the Hermann and Amalie Kohn Professor of Social Justice and Social Policy, and a social work professor.

Released in August 2023, The Injustice of Place sheds light on America’s most disadvantaged communities, tracing the legacies of our nation’s places of deepest need—including inequalities shaping people’s health, livelihoods, and upward social mobility for families. Wrung dry by powerful forces and corrupt government officials, the “internal colonies” in these regions were exploited for their resources and then left to collapse.

The book's co-authors will reflect briefly on the book, followed by an armchair conversation with Congressman Dan Kildee and Nicole Sherard-Freeman.

This event is open to the public, and people can register to attend in person at Weill Hall or to watch a livestream online.

Identity Polarization in Organizations: Causes, Potential Solutions and Research Agenda (October 6, 2023 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/113290 113290-21830671@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 6, 2023 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

It should perhaps come as no surprise that the identity polarization around socio-cultural issues currently roiling many countries have found their way into business and other organizations. In the U.S., for example, conflicts over religious practices have been on the rise since 9/11; and following the 2016 election, human resource (HR) managers began noticing increasing workplace friction over matters of politics. Such polarization may also be triggered as organizations increasingly take on (at various levels of engagement) issues related to the “#MeToo” and “Black Lives Matter” movements, LGBTQIA+ and voting rights, as well as issues of climate change. Although taking such stands are sometimes embraced by employees –indeed, Gartner HR Research (2021) finds 68% of employees would consider leaving their organization for one that took a stronger stance on socio-cultural issues –as organizational engagement with these issues has increased, so too have examples of internal conflicts characterized by disgust and antipathy between groups and intense infighting within them. Although organizational engagement with issues has long been found to trigger identity dynamics, what is different about these socio-cultural issues is that have become moralized – that is, framed in terms of morally right versus wrong. Building on research on moralization and identity, I will discuss research with my co-authors (Luke Hedden and Hamza Kahn) that explains how such issues enter the workplace, and how an organizations’ engagement with moralized issues can spur unique identity dynamics. These unique identity dynamics include the display of moral emotions (e.g., disgust) toward opposing (and disinterested) groups, and derogation of ingroup members who do not agree strongly enough the group’s stance. I will elaborate new theory at the group level regarding the nature of such intergroup and intragroup identity polarization dynamics, as well as their unique consequences for organizations. In doing so, I explain how moralized issues alter traditional identity processes in organizations and why novel solutions are required to manage them. Finally, I will propose some potential solutions to help organizations alleviate the negative effects of moralized identity conflicts and lay out an agenda for future research.

Speaker:
Ewout W. Steyerberg, PhD
Professor of Clinical Biostatistics & Medical Decision Making, Chair, Dept of Biomedical Data Sciences
Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands

Clinical prediction models aim to predict a person’s risk of an outcome (e.g. complications, mortality) given their observed characteristics (1). Risk predictions are traditionally derived from regression models. Artificial Intelligence, and specifically Machine Learning methods, are gaining interest to develop predictive algorithms. Predictions from classic models or AI algorithms need to be reliable to provide valid support for tasks such as shared decision making and whether a person should initiate a particular treatment.
The aim of this talk is to review recent developments in prediction model development and validation. Illustrations will be provided from different medical applications. Trustworthiness will be discussed in relation to the statistical aspects -such as sample size and the exceptionality of patients-, model uncertainty, and heterogeneity between contexts of practical application.

PSC Brownbag Series: The 2021 Child Tax Credit, housing affordability, and the living arrangements of families with low incomes (October 23, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109981 109981-21823499@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 23, 2023 12:00pm

"The 2021 Child Tax Credit, housing affordability, and the living arrangements of families with low incomes."

Access to safe and stable housing is important for child and adult wellbeing. Yet many low-income households face severe challenges in maintaining stable housing. In this paper we examine the impact of the 2021 temporary expansion to the Child Tax Credit (CTC) on the living arrangements and housing affordability of families with low incomes. We employ a parameterized difference-in-differences method and use national data from a sample of parents who are receiving, or recently received, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits (N~20,500). We find that the monthly CTC is associated with a higher likelihood that parents reported a change in their living arrangements as well as reduced household size, an effect largely driven by fewer mothers living with a partner (and not a reduction in doubling up). We also find that the credit reduced parents’ likelihood of reporting potential moves due to difficulties affording rent/mortgages as well as the amount and incidence of back-owed rent/mortgages. We find some differences in effects by race and ethnicity and income. Our findings illustrate how the monthly credit allowed parents to gain residential independence from partners, reduce the number of people residing in their household, and reduce their past-due rent/mortgage.

Natasha Pilkauskas is an Associate Professor of Public Policy at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. Pilkauskas’ research considers how demographic, social safety net, and economic shifts in the U.S. affect low-income families with children. Specifically, her work examines children’s shared living arrangements, economic insecurity among vulnerable populations, and the effects of cash transfers, such as tax credits, on low-income families. Much of Pilkauskas’ research focuses on early childhood, a time when poverty and instability are known to have long-lasting detrimental effects on children’s health and development, and when social policies have been shown to have some of the strongest impacts on improving children’s life chances. Pilkauskas holds a Ph.D. in social welfare policy from Columbia University, a Masters in Public Policy from Harvard University and a B.A in Economics and Sociology from Northwestern University.

Investigating the quality of digital trace and data donation

Challenges to traditional survey data collection such as increased costs and decreasing non-response are leading survey researchers to explore new forms of data. Recently, two types of data have received increased focus as a possible replacements or enhancements of surveys: digital trace data and data donation. Digital trace data refers to data produced while individuals interact with digital platforms, such as apps and websites. Data donation, on the other hand, refers to the acquisition of data from online platforms, such as Facebook or Google, directly from users. In a recent study we use an experimental design in a non-probability panel in Germany to explore non-response bias in data donated from Facebook as well measurement error in digital trace data from PCs and mobile phones.

Alexandru Cernat is an associate professor in the social statistics department at the University of Manchester. He has a PhD in survey methodology from the University of Essex and was a post-doc at the National Centre for Research Methods and the Cathie Marsh Institute. His research and teaching focus on: survey methodology, longitudinal data, measurement error, latent variable modelling, new forms of data and missing data.

Flexible Formal Privacy for Public Data Curation

Researchers rely extensively on public datasets disseminated by official statistics agencies, universities, non-governmental organizations, and other data curators. With the increasing availability of data and computing power comes increased threats to privacy, as published statistics can more easily be used to reconstruct sensitive personal data. Formal privacy (FP) methods, like differential privacy (DP), provably limit such information leakage by injecting carefully chosen randomized noise into published statistics. However, the way DP accounts for privacy degradation requires this noise be injected into every statistic dependent on the confidential dataset. This fails to reflect data curator needs, social, legal or ethical requirements, and complex dependency structures between public and confidential datasets. In this talk, I'll discuss statistical methodology that addresses these problems. We propose a FP framework with novel characterizations of disclosure risk when assessing collections of statistics wherein only some statistics are published with DP guarantees. We demonstrate FP properties maintained by our proposed framework, propose data release mechanisms which satisfy our proposed definition, and prove the optimality properties of downstream statistical estimators based on these mechanism outputs. For this talk, I'll discuss a few end-to-end data analysis examples in public health and surveys, showing how theoretical trade-offs between privacy, utility, and computation time manifest in practice when assessing disclosure risks and statistical utility. I'll conclude with a discussion on the implications of this work for survey researchers, focusing on opportunities to incorporate privacy by design in survey planning, experimental design, and other data collection operations.
