Alum Connection with Kuhu Saha: Empowering Youth to Create their Futures in Detroit (September 9, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96982 96982-21793645@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 9, 2022 3:00pm
Location: LSA Building
Organized By: LSA Opportunity Hub

“We believe that we’ve failed as a community in providing the space for young people to dream and aspire,” Kuhu Saha says. This is the motivating force behind her and David Merritt’s founding of the company Merit and its nonprofit arm, Give Merit. Kuhu (‘08 Sociology and American Culture) is fiercely and strategically committed to helping students from Detroit achieve their dreams through developing social and cultural awareness, career aspirations, and academic enrichment. Join Kuhu for this Alum Connection session to talk with her about finding her WHY and how she put it into motion through entrepreneurship and social justice advocacy in a city she loves.


About Kuhu:
Kuhu Saha is a visionary social justice champion with a keen eye for style. She has been a part of the Merit team since its inception, involved in all aspects of the company's development and growth. Kuhu is most fulfilled in her role expanding the organization’s community impact through Merit's nonprofit arm, Give Merit. As Co-founder and Executive Director, Kuhu and David Merritt have developed the FATE Program, an educational enrichment and leadership program for Detroit-area high school students. Working closely with community partners, donors, and families, Kuhu leads the effort in creating and implementing high-quality, innovative, and interactive youth development programming for Detroit youth ages 14 to 24. Give Merit and the FATE Program exist to enhance and extend educational opportunities for Detroit youth through innovative mentorship, enrichment, and athletic activities. Kuhu and her team are intent on helping young people aspire, believe, and contribute while creating platforms for them to create the future. She holds a BA from LSA in American Culture and Sociology, with a focus on social inequality.


You should attend this session if you are:
-An undergraduate U-M LSA student
-Still exploring majors and what you might do after graduation with your LSA degree
-Interested in creating a career pathway that builds on your sense of purpose


What you’ll gain by attending:
-Get inspired by ideas for defining success for yourself after hearing how Kuhu defines it
-Learn from an example framework for bringing entrepreneurship and social justice together in one fulfilling career
-Get excited to meet an alum who wants to see you succeed


RSVP NOW to be part of the conversation.

The Opportunity Hub aims to deliver inclusive and accessible experiences and welcomes all LSA students to participate. This event is on the 2nd floor of a wheelchair accessible building which includes wheelchair-accessible restrooms on the 2nd floor, a gender-inclusive and accessible restroom on the 2nd floor, places to sit or stand during the event, and accessible parking options nearby on Maynard Street.

Starting on September 12th and running until October 10th a series of free empowerment self-defense workshops will be held weekly on Mondays from 5:30pm to 6:30pm on Central Campus (exact location TBD).

- use verbal skills for assertive communication.
- evade and set boundaries (verbal & physical).
- use practical options to make ourselves more comfortable when uncomfortable situations occur.
- recognize and interrupt unwanted behavior when in social situations, interpersonal/intimate relationships as well as interactions with strangers.

The series will be composed of the following workshops:
1. Introduction to physical self-defense: 1.5hr
2. Physical self-defense with strikes and kicks with pads: 1hr
3. Physical self-defense with boxing element combination striking: 1h
4. Top-to-bottom pressure points: 1hr
5. Physical self-defense from the ground: 1hr

Face masks will be required regardless of vaccination status.

The Social Justice Changemaker Lecture series, established by a generous gift from Neil and Annmarie Hawkins, focuses on important global social justice issues, including race and nationality, immigration and refugees, income inequality, gender identity and sexual orientation, education, health, and mental and physical abilities. The Lecture aims to bring prominent social justice experts and advocates from multiple disciplines, including social sciences, science, humanities, the arts, and the professions, to the University of Michigan Campus.

This year's lecture will focus on exploring ways to be a change agent during challenging times and how to use philanthropy as a force for social change. Darren Walker will talk about how he sees his position at the Ford Foundation and the role of philanthropy. He will discuss the idea of "trust-based" philanthropy and that being a leader is sometimes being a convener.

*This event will take place in person - A livestream option will be made available on the SSW homepage. Continuing education hours will only be offered for the in-person event.*

Milestones as Merit: Gatekeeping and Inequality in Elite Early Childhood Admissions (September 16, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97462 97462-21794611@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 16, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Research on culture and inequality demonstrates that class-based signals acquired during childhood are crucial mechanisms of class reproduction, yet children themselves are relatively undertheorized in this literature. Work tends to portray children from a given social class as culturally homogenous, downplaying within-class differences. In this article, we center children—and their perceived differences—through analyzing a high-stakes gatekeeping interaction relevant to class reproduction: admission to the country’s most elite private (“independent”) (pre)K-12 schools. These schools serve as expressways to elite colleges but admit the bulk of students during the early childhood years. Through an interview-based study of admissions officers at elite independent schools, we find that these educational gatekeepers drew strong distinctions between economically privileged children on the basis of the bodily and behavioral signals they displayed in interaction. Integrating Bourdieu’s work on embodied cultural capital with Goffman’s work on impression management, we argue that gatekeepers favored children whose displays of interactional signals consistently conformed to class-based ideals of merit and lacked markers of stigma. Our findings highlight that, while parents’ knowledge and actions matter for procuring educational and social advantages for children, so do children’s perceived characteristics and behaviors, which can vary within a given class. In addition, our findings call attention to the importance of studying the activation and perception of cultural capital in gatekeeping interactions.

Opening Session: Financial Empowerment roundtable discussions and lunch hosted by Laurita Thomas, Executive in Residence, Center for Positive Organizations, President, American Research Universities Human Resources Institute;  with opening remarks from Anne Ollen, MA, CEBS, Managing Director, TIAA Institute; and Tiffany Marra, PhD, CEW+ Director.

A capstone presentation by outgoing CEW+ Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist, Theresa Anderson, Senior Researcher, Urban Institute. Dr. Anderson’s work explores the networks that Michigan student parents navigate, providing insights on policy and practice changes that would make it easier for parenting students in the state, and specifically in the U-M system, to meet their educational goals. CEW+ will also announce the incoming 2023 CEW+ Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist. 

Workshops hosted by CEW+, the Ginsberg Center, the Program on Intergroup Relations, and SAPAC are designed to showcase a variety of approaches to advocacy. Workshops provide attendees the opportunity to engage in self-reflection, group discussion, and action-planning to advance their advocacy efforts on behalf of causes that are central to their personal and professional goals.

The awarding of the 2022 Carol Hollenshead Inspire Award for Excellence in Promoting Equity and Social Change. Awardees include faculty, staff, and students whose sustained efforts have resulted in greater equity with regard to gender, race, class, age disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation. Awardees will present lightning talks and participate in a panel discussion.

The Christobel Kotelawela Weerasinghe Lecture, “From Protests to Policy Reforms: Advancing Gender Equality in a Complex, Multi-ethnic and Multi-Religious Nigeria,” presented by Dr. Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi, founding Director of Women Advocates Research and Documentation Center and executive board member of the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding and the Nigerian Women’s Trust Fund. Dr. Akiyode-Afolabi is a professor, lawyer, and civil rights activist whose work is focused on maternal and reproductive health advocacy, gender-based violence, social justice, and the underrepresentation of women in governance.

Hon. J. Michael Luttig served for nearly fifteen years as a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Among other positions, he has also served as Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Office of Legal Counsel and as General Counsel to The Boeing Company. The open letter circulated by Vice President Pence on January 6, 2021, quoted Judge Luttig’s assertion that “[t]he only responsibility and power of the Vice President under the Constitution is to faithfully count the Electoral College votes as they have been cast,” and not “to alter in any way the votes that have been cast, either by rejecting certain votes or otherwise.” On June 16, 2022, Judge Luttig testified before the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, to the effect that President Trump and his allies had “instigated” a war on democracy. He was also one of the authors of LOST NOT STOLEN: The Conservative Case that Trump Lost and Biden Won the 2020 Presidential Election, issued in July 2022.

Thinking Like an Economist: How Efficiency Replaced Equality in U.S. Public Policy (September 23, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97464 97464-21794612@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 23, 2022 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Between the 1960s and the 1980s, an “economic style of reasoning”—grounded in the discipline of economics but traveling well beyond it—became influential in Washington, and was institutionalized through legal and organizational changes. This new way of thinking had consequences for what policy options were considered and how policy decisions were made, and was particularly constraining for the left wing of the Democratic Party. Drawing from a new book that looks at how such changes played out across the domains of social policy, market governance, and social regulation, this talk will focus on what this transformation looked like in the realm of antitrust policy. Here, a domain that was once conceived of as balancing competing purposes, including promoting competition, limiting corporate power, and protecting small business, was rethought as focused on a single goal: protecting consumer welfare, understood as allocative efficiency. As this new approach was built into legal frameworks and decision-making processes in federal agencies, it narrowed the scope of legitimate debate in ways that persist to the present—with implications for our ability to address new forms of corporate power.

Organized By: Business+Impact at Michigan Ross

Prototyping is a tool that can be used throughout the design process: to generate ideas, validate concepts, or explore technologies. There is a need to develop and test ideas without causing harm to others, while the possibilities have evolved exponentially — new prototyping tools and approaches are introduced every year. This workshop will help you understand what, how, and when to prototype, and to transform good ideas into interactive, emotional experiences with an equity lens.

This event is part of Innovation Week programming and is hosted in partnership with Design+Business at Michigan Ross.

----------------------------------
This session will be run by Keesa V Johnson (MDes), an award-winning creative systems designer and design strategist who uses African and indigenous principles throughout the design thinking process. Keesa works in different dimensions of the Michigan Food system working to build a more equitable future through community-engaged design and research using equity as a lens for social innovation. She currently has her own design firm called the Equity and Access group which works on systems change projects in the food system. She is also the Racial Equity Chair of the Washtenaw Food Policy Council, the project leader for the Washtenaw County Black Farmers Fund, and has been a design leader within academia, government, and technology companies.

Dr. Louise Seamster is an Assistant Professor in Sociology and Criminology and African American Studies at the University of Iowa, and a Nonresident Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. She studies race and economic inequality, particularly in cities, and writes about racial politics and urban development, emergency financial management, debt, and the myth of racial progress. One line of her research examines racial disparities in debt and debt markets, including “predatory inclusion” in student debt, and the different meaning of debt for black and white families. She has published in Contexts, Sociological Theory, Du Bois Review, Social Currents, Environment, and Planning A: Society and Space, and Ethnic and Racial Studies.

MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series
October 12, 2022, 12:00-1:00 pm

Brady T. West is a Research Professor in the Survey Methodology Program, located within the Survey Research Center at the Institute for Social Research on the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (U-M) campus. He earned his PhD from the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science in 2011. Before that, he received an MA in Applied Statistics from the U-M Statistics Department in 2002, being recognized as an Outstanding First-year Applied Masters student, and a BS in Statistics with Highest Honors and Highest Distinction from the U-M Statistics Department in 2001. His current research interests include the implications of measurement error in auxiliary variables and survey paradata for survey estimation, selection bias in surveys, responsive/adaptive survey design, interviewer effects, and multilevel regression models for clustered and longitudinal data. He is the lead author of a book comparing different statistical software packages in terms of their mixed-effects modeling procedures (Linear Mixed Models: A Practical Guide using Statistical Software, Third Edition, Chapman Hall/CRC Press, 2022), and he is a co-author of a second book entitled Applied Survey Data Analysis (with Steven Heeringa and Pat Berglund), the second edition of which was published by CRC Press in June 2017. He was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2022.

Among the numerous explanations that have been offered for recent errors in pre-election polls, selection bias due to non-ignorable partisan nonresponse bias, where the probability of responding to a poll is a function of the candidate preference that a poll is attempting to measure (even after conditioning on other relevant covariates used for weighting adjustments), has received relatively less focus in the academic literature. Under this type of selection mechanism, estimates of candidate preferences based on individual or aggregated polls may be subject to significant bias, even after standard weighting adjustments. Until recently, methods for measuring and adjusting for this type of non-ignorable selection bias have been unavailable. Fortunately, recent developments in the methodological literature have provided political researchers with easy-to-use measures of non-ignorable selection bias. In this study, we apply a new measure that has been developed specifically for estimated proportions to this challenging problem. We analyze data from 18 different pre-election polls: nine different telephone polls conducted in eight different states prior to the U.S. Presidential election in 2020, and nine different pre-election polls conducted either online or via telephone in Great Britain prior to the 2015 General Election. We rigorously evaluate the ability of this new measure to detect and adjust for selection bias in estimates of the proportion of likely voters that will vote for a specific candidate, using official outcomes from each election as benchmarks and alternative data sources for estimating key characteristics of the likely voter populations in each context.

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.

Navigating a Post-Roe America: Insights, lessons, and reflections after a decade leading in the reproductive justice movement (October 20, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96937 96937-21793585@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 20, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

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

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

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

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

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Barger Leadership Institute

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

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

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

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

This episode of the Clements Bookworm is generously sponsored by Kristin Cabral ‘88, Member of the Clements Library Associates Board.

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

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

The Annual Purple Run is an exciting collaboration between the University of Michigan Police Department, Ann Arbor Police Department, the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office, and SafeHouse Center to bring our community together while highlighting the prevalence of Domestic Violence. In Washtenaw County, law enforcement and advocates work very closely with one another and, whether it is on active cases or community events, we are actively engaged in protecting and safe-guarding the public.

The Purple Run is much more than a fundraiser. Our goal is to raise awareness about Domestic Violence and to help the community recognize this issue affects all of us. There is strength in numbers, and we are so excited that you want to join us and make a statement to survivors that there is support in our community.

Every 60 seconds, 20 people are subject to intimate partner violence.


Let’s work together to bring this number down!

We’re running domestic violence out of town.

A Virtual Conversation with Author Justin Baldoni (October 26, 2022 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99683 99683-21798534@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 26, 2022 6:30pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: University Students Against Rape/Take Back The Night (USAR/TBTN)

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

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

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

We will then open it up to questions from attendees.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE 2022 RALPH J. GERSON DISTINGUISHED LECTURER EXPLORES HOW REFORMING SMALL-BUSINESS PROCESSES IN AFRICA WILL BOOST THE CONTINENT’S ECONOMY

Magatte Wade, entrepreneur, author and advocate for African dignity and prosperity through business growth, will deliver the Ralph J. Gerson Distinguished Lecture at 7 p.m. Nov. 10. The discussion will be broadcast via Zoom. (Register here to join the event).

Wade’s talk, “The Heart of the Cheetah: Entrepreneurship and Prosperity in Africa,” will focus on the power of business growth and importance of business-friendly infrastructure, which she sees as critical to innovation and economic flourishing on the continent. As an entrepreneur from Senegal, Wade has decried a lack of business infrastructure and subsequent unemployment as key reasons why many Africans risk their lives to migrate to other countries.

Gerson Distinguished Lecture gathers the community around the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan to celebrate and promote ways businesses can positively impact social challenges. Its transformative speakers bring unique perspectives on economic development, new considerations around innovative business models and informed evaluations of emerging markets.

Wade joins the series’ two past lecturers — Nobel Prize-winning Economist Sir Angus Deaton and Kevin Lobo, Chairman and CEO of Stryker Corp. — in her work highlighting economic acceleration through business tools.

“Magatte Wade is an outspoken advocate for the benefits that profitable businesses bring to an economy,” said WDI President Paul Clyde. “She is a successful entrepreneur who understands the value and importance of business in the development of an economy. Considering WDI’s mission of equipping economic decision makers in emerging countries with the tools of commercial success, it’s hard to think of a stronger advocate with a more relevant background than Wade.”

Wade was named one of Forbes’ “20 Youngest Power Women in Africa,” a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum at Davos, and a “Leading Woman in Wellness” award-winner with the Global Wellness Summit. She’s the Director of the Atlas Network’s Center for Africa Prosperity, a member of the Board of Directors of Conscious Capitalism Inc., and a member of the Advisory Board of the Whole Planet Foundation with Whole Foods Market.

As a TED Global Africa Fellow, her TED Talk, titled “Why it’s so hard to start a business in Africa — and how to change it,” has nearly 650,000 views. In her talk, Wade draws a clear and definitive thread between poverty reduction and business creation — asserting that the solution to poverty is making it easier for small businesses to start, run and thrive. In it, she describes how she came to this conclusion: “I have this attitude in life. Something is wrong, find a way to fix it. That’s why I start the businesses that I start, usually consumer brands, that have embedded in them the very best of my African culture.”

Wade describes what it’s like for her to run these businesses in Senegal, navigating the complicated and problematic laws and processes. “It’s like swimming through molasses,” she said. Knowing the impact these stifling rules have on business growth, Wade advocates for easing these restrictions and creating systems that promote private economic development. Not only does changing these laws make a major difference in business success, she explained, but shining a light on them can shift the outlook Africans have about their own capabilities and potential.

Her new book, “The Heart of the Cheetah,” will be released soon.

Register to watch Wade’s speech live on Zoom at 7 p.m. Nov. 10.

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

LSA Workshop: Inclusive & Effective Alt Text for Images (December 2, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100395 100395-21799701@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 2, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Images and graphics can be powerful tools to communicate information and enhance text content. But some individuals—such as those who are Blind, low vision, or use read aloud technologies—may miss out on important details if our visuals are not accessible.

This workshop will teach you how to craft effective "alternative text" (alt text) and how to add alt text to images to make them more accessible. We'll also discuss how to describe image content, including diverse humans, in a way that is inclusive and context appropriate.

Participants will learn:
1. What alt text is, why it is important, and who benefits from it.

2. Image types that are not accessible and workarounds.

3. How to craft effective alt text for images based upon the image type and function.

4. Best practices for describing diverse people and situations depicted in images in an inclusive way.

5. How to add alt text to images in Word, Google Docs, PowerPoint, and Google Slides.

Audience:
This is a beginner-level workshop open to any LSA employee, including our student employees.

Format:
This workshop will be conducted virtually on Zoom. Auto-captioning will be enabled and slides will be distributed following the workshop. We strongly recommend using a desktop or laptop computer to join this workshop, as this will make it easier to apply what you learn in practice exercises and to participate in poll questions.

The LSA DEI Office greatly values inclusion and access for all. We are pleased to provide reasonable accommodations to enable your full participation in this workshop. Please contact Jessica McCuaig at jmccuaig@umich.edu if you would like to request disability accommodations or have any questions or concerns.

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

What is an “Arts Incubator” and what does one do? Join us on December 8 at 1pm ET for an exciting presentation featuring Dr. Stan Renard, the director of The Arts Incubation Research (AIR) Lab, at the University of Texas at San Antonio. The AIR Lab is funded, in part, by a NEA Research Labaward from the National Endowment for the Arts. Dr. Renard will present findings from a national survey of programs designed to provide business and entrepreneurial supportfor artists. The survey was fielded by AIR Lab and Americans for the Arts in fall 2021 and contains information about the participating art incubators’ programs, financials, and operating procedures. It also focused on the program delivery implications in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as broader issues of access and equity. The AIR Lab is an example of a project funded through the NEA Research Awards programs resulting in data usable by secondary analysts.

This webinar is free and open to the public. The webinar will be recorded and the recording will be sent to all registrants and added to the ICPSR YouTube Channel.


Presenter:

Dr. Stan Renard is Associate Dean and Associate Professor and Coordinator of the Arts Management and Entrepreneurship programs in the Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts at the University of Oklahoma. Renard is also the Director of the Arts Incubation Research Lab (AIR Lab), a National Endowment for the Arts Research Lab. The lab’s research team studies the intersection of the arts, entrepreneurship, and innovation at its incubation stage with a research agenda that seeks to understand the economic potential of artists as non-conventional entrepreneurs and the impact of the digital divide upon arts-based entrepreneurs. In addition, he is a touring and recording artist, the founder and arranger of the Grammy-nominated Bohemian Quartet, and the Executive Director of the Monteux School & Music Festival in Hancock, ME. Renard holds a doctorate in musical arts (DMA) from the University of Connecticut as well as a doctorate in international business (DBA) from Southern New Hampshire University. Previously held collegiate appointments include the University of Texas at San Antonio; Colby College; the University of Massachusetts, Amherst; the University of Connecticut, Storrs; Providence College; Eastern Connecticut State University; Southern New Hampshire University; and the University of California at San Diego. Dr. Renard is a member of the Yamaha Master Educator Collective, Music Business & Entrepreneurship Group.

LSA Workshop: Create Accessible Digital Documents (December 13, 2022 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/100396 100396-21801096@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 13, 2022 11:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

As we shift from print to digital documents in the workplace, it's important to ensure all readers and contributors can access the content. If document users include individuals who are color blind, use assistive technologies, or process information differently, will they be able to effectively engage with the content?

This workshop will focus on how to create digital documents in Word and Google Docs that are more user-friendly and accessible. In addition to demonstrations, there will be opportunities to apply what you are learning in real time.

Participants will learn about:
1. The benefit of accessible documents and how specific features support diverse users.

2. How to build more accessible documents in Microsoft Word and Google Documents.

3. Tools to assist with document accessibility.

4. Resources to deepen knowledge on document accessibility.

Audience:
This is a beginner-level workshop open to any LSA employee, including our undergraduate and graduate student employees. External guests may request to join as space allows.

Format:
This workshop will be conducted virtually on Zoom. Auto-captioning will be enabled and slides will be distributed to those registered following the workshop. We strongly recommend using a desktop or laptop computer to join this workshop, as there will be opportunities to apply what you learn to a practice document and instructions will be based on the desktop version of the word processors.

The LSA DEI Office greatly values inclusion and access for all. We are pleased to provide reasonable accommodations to enable your full participation in this workshop. Please contact Jessica McCuaig at jmccuaig@umich.edu if you would like to request disability accommodations or have any questions or concerns.

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

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