Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Time at university may feel long but in reality it is just a moment, and one that is worth pausing to appreciate. We’re inviting students to come to the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and participate in the work of artist Salvador Diaz, whose exhibition-in-the-round La Pelea/The Fight immerses the viewer in a single moment with a 46-foot wrap-around piece that shows just how many perspectives can be present in a single moment or event. 

This immersive experience includes:

-A student-led guided tour of the exhibition
-An opportunity to add your personal perspective on the university experience to a collaborative wrap-around public art piece that exemplifies how the university experience is a single idea, yet multifaceted
-An ice-cream sundae bar with vegan options and lots of toppings!

This event is free and open to all. Pre-registration is required. Save your spots at https://myumi.ch/M9Aep.

Presented by the Public Humanities Interns at the Institute for the Humanities

Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Ford School welcomes former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson.

Johnson will kick off the event by reflecting on the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr., and what that means to him as a fellow Morehouse Man. Following his remarks, he’ll sit down for a conversation with Dean Celeste Watkins-Hayes alongside Ford School faculty experts to reflect on his work with the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defence through questions submitted from the Ford School community on policy issues ranging from immigration to civil liberties.

From the speaker's bio
Jeh Johnson is a partner in the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, LLP, who in public life was Secretary of Homeland Security (2013-2017), General Counsel of the Department of Defense (2009-2012), General Counsel of the Department of the Air Force (1998-2001), and an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York (1989-1991). As Secretary of Homeland Security, Johnson was the head of the third largest cabinet department of the U.S. government, consisting of 230,000 personnel and 22 components, including TSA, Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Services, U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, and FEMA.

As General Counsel of the Department of Defense, Johnson is credited with being the legal architect for the U.S. military’s counterterrorism efforts in the Obama Administration. In 2010, Johnson co-authored the report that paved the way for the repeal of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell by Congress later that year.

Johnson is a 2022 recipient of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, a 2021 recipient of the American Lawyer’s Lifetime Achievement Award, as “an American statesman [who] has devoted his career to the public interest,” and a 2018 recipient of the Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Award, presented at the Reagan Presidential Library, for “contribut[ing] greatly to the defense of our nation,” and “guiding us through turbulent times with courage and wisdom.”

In private life, in addition to practicing law, Johnson is on the board of directors of Lockheed Martin, U.S. Steel, the Council on Foreign Relations, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in New York City, the Center for a New American Security, and is a trustee of Columbia University. Johnson is a regular commentator on NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, FOX, Bloomberg TV and other news networks. Johnson is a graduate of Morehouse College (1979) and Columbia Law School (1982) and the recipient of 12 honorary degrees.

More than 127,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated and incarcerated in concentration camps in remote areas of the seven western U.S. states during World War II. Their crime? Ancestry. Almost two-thirds of the interns were Nisei, or U.S.-born. Even World War I veterans of Japanese descent were forcibly evacuated. Families were made at gunpoint to leave their homes, businesses, schools, their lives for spartan, communal tarpaper barracks in inhospitable regions. This powerful documentary premiered last May on PBS (available for streaming here). This discussion is open to all. Please register to receive the Zoom link prior to this session.

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

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

Amali Tower is the founder and executive director of Climate Refugees. She has extensive global experience in refugee protection, refugee resettlement and in forced migration and displacement contexts, having worked globally for numerous NGOs, the UN Refugee Agency and the US Refugee Admissions Program. Years of interviewing refugees fleeing conflict afforded her the chance to hear their stories of also fleeing climate change. Through this, Climate Refugees was born. She has conducted country and regional case studies and research in climate-induced displacement contexts, including in urban and camp settings. Her research on climate, conflict and displacement in the Lake Chad Basin in Africa’s Sahel was presented as evidence of loss and damage at COP 26 in Glasgow. Amali serves displaced populations as an experienced defender and her clients as a partner and advisor. She developed her work ethic, world views and deep commitment to forcibly displaced populations through a lived experience of instability, and as an immigrant and migrant. She’s born of that education, life in multiple countries, and also those at Columbia University, where she has a Master of International Affairs focused in Human Rights from the School of International and Public Affairs, and a BA in International Development Studies from UCLA. She resides in New York City.

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so let's talk about how our identities interact with our conceptions of love, both romantically and platonically. As we all know, cultural experiences and traditional behaviors all influence our expressions and experiences of love, and deeply impact the way we give and receive it. For this event, residents will interact on a deeper level, sharing experiences and stories regarding their perceptions of love. The event will be an hour, with 5 minute rounds during which people will share a conversation with a new person.

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

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

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

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

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

Ann Arbor's First Orthodox Priest (February 20, 2023 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104727 104727-21810022@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 20, 2023 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Classical Studies

Who was the first Orthodox Priest of Ann Arbor, and what can we learn from his life story today? This talk will follow the twists and turns in the life of Father Agathangelos, the first Greek-Orthodox priest to serve the spiritual needs of Ann Arbor nearly a century ago, and reflect on its broader meanings for Greek Orthodoxy in America.

Father Agathangelos was born and raised in Ottoman Cappadocia (central Anatolia) at the end of the nineteenth century, but his life was upended with the Greco-Turkish Population Exchange of 1923 (whose centennial we honor this year). The Exchange was at the time an unprecedented act of ethnic cleansing: The Republic of Turkey stripped nearly one and a half million indigenous Anatolian Christians of their citizenship and uprooted them to Greece, which in turn stripped Greek citizenship from nearly half a million indigenous Muslims of Greece and uprooted them to Turkey. This Compulsory Exchange upended the lives of nearly two million souls and set an international precedent for partition and forced population movements in later decades.

This talk will follow the refugee life and migrations of Father Agathangelos -- who, in addition to being a priest, was also a poet, a novelist, and an iconographer -- through his artwork and the traces he left behind. His first and only fluent language was Turkish, which he wrote in the Greek alphabet, known as "Karamanlidika Turkish." His poetry and his art reflect the rich cultural confluence of Anatolia before the Exchange, and it was this culture that he carried with him into refugeehood and his later migration to the United States. What can his life tell us about the enumenical breadth and cultural riches of Greek Orthodoxy in America? You are all warmly invited to join in this lecture and to share your own perspectives in an open-forum Q&A afterward.

William Stroebel is an Assistant Professor of Modern Greek and Comparative Literature in the departments of Classical Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on recovering the refugee literatures displaced by the Greco-Turkish Population Exchange of 1923. The lecture will be accompanied with refreshments and a reception after the Q&A.

Her research interests include the sociology of immigration, race, and ethnicity in America, and the sociology of Cuba's revolution and exodus. Her work seeks to understand the causes and consequences of immigration as a historical process that forms and transforms persons and nations; as well as social revolutions’ rupture with the past and attempt to create a different present. With a B. A. and M. A. from the University of Michigan, Silvia Pedraza has long been a Wolverine. She holds a Ph. D. in Sociology from the University of Chicago, where she specialized in Demography as well as Stratification, and in Latin American Studies.

Rebeca Ontiveros-Chavez (Managing Attorney at the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center’s) - She serves children who entered the United States and are detained in federal custody in facilities contracted by the Office of Refugee Resettlement and children who have been released to sponsors in Michigan. She has also represented individuals in the metro Detroit area on a variety of immigration matters. In 2019, she was appointed by the Michigan Supreme Court to the Foreign Language Board of Review as the Limited English Proficiency Populations Advocate. She is the co-founder of the Immigrant Justice Lab, an interdisciplinary lab that brings students together from different disciplines at the University of Michigan and MIRC attorneys to work on various projects that advance client needs and improve legal services. She also advocates for equity as a member of the Michigan Advocacy Program’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee. She is a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School and Metropolitan State University of Denver.

Melanie Grund (Senior Advisor on Immigrant Affairs, Food Security, and Housing for the Oakland Executive) - She is the founder of GCB Global Strategies, a global entrepreneur specializing in strategic planning and project management for non-profit organizations as well as political mentoring for foreign-born populations in southeast Michigan. As a young peace activist, she worked with children from both sides of The Troubles in Northern Ireland. She went on to work for Congressman Sander Levin and built a comprehensive outreach plan for the wide variety of foreign-born populations in his district, particularly on refugee issues and resettlement. She left government work in January 2015 to start GCB with the mission of “leaving the world better than she found it.” Currently, Melanie serves as the Senior Advisor on Immigrant Affairs, Food Security, and Housing for the Oakland Executive. She is a Core Member of the Southeast Michigan Regional Refugee Resettlement Collaborative and co-chairs the housing sub-group.

About the Exhibition
Nicole Marroquin is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and educator whose practice explores spatial justice and Latinx history. Deeply rooted in community, she cultivates and reaffirms the human connections that ultimately sustain us. Her recent work explores the emergent themes of belonging as seen through the histories of student rebellions in Chicago public schools between 1968 and 1980.

Her site-specific installation *With Care*, created for the Institute for the Humanities Gallery, presents the documentary photographs of influential Mexican-born artist, teacher, and friend Diana Solís in visual dialogue with Marroquin’s own creative work which includes ceramic sculptures and printmaking. Solís’s photography reflects over 25 years of transnational Chicana and lesbian organizing primarily in Chicago and Mexico City between 1975 and 1990.

Sense of Self: The Islamic Contemporary (February 24, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/105043 105043-21810637@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 24, 2023 10:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

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

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

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

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

Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month 2023: Kick-Off (Opening Event) (March 9, 2023 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105549 105549-21812110@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 9, 2023 6:30pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Multi Ethnic Student Affairs - MESA

The Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AA&PI HM) at the University of Michigan invites you to celebrate our heritage month opening event! While the month is federally recognized in May, the campus community celebrates the month from mid-March to mid-April to align with the academic calendar. To celebrate the Pacific Islander (or, Oceanian) community, we also host PI Heritage Week dedicated to the histories, heritages, communities, and identities of the Oceanian community.

The kick-off is expected to take place at 6:30 pm on March 9th, 2023 at the Michigan Room in the Michigan League. This year our theme is Generational Change and Healing. Our Planning Committee selected this theme after conversations around wanting to build toward unity and increase self-awareness within our communities. The historical resilience of both the Asian American and Oceanian communities are clear and, despite the violence we have faced and continue to face, we choose instead to center our healing. Our communities often draw from inherited knowledge and wisdom, invoking inspiration and a push for change in the younger generations and generations to come. This heritage month, we hope to reinforce our healing by hosting events and conversations that build, uplift, and challenge our communities.

If you are interested in tabling and showcasing your art at the kick off, please submit the form here: https://forms.gle/QdYmVXdqragyhMdE9

Sense of Self: The Islamic Contemporary (March 10, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/105043 105043-21810639@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 10, 2023 10:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

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

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

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

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

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.

About the Exhibition
Nicole Marroquin is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and educator whose practice explores spatial justice and Latinx history. Deeply rooted in community, she cultivates and reaffirms the human connections that ultimately sustain us. Her recent work explores the emergent themes of belonging as seen through the histories of student rebellions in Chicago public schools between 1968 and 1980.

Her site-specific installation *With Care*, created for the Institute for the Humanities Gallery, presents the documentary photographs of influential Mexican-born artist, teacher, and friend Diana Solís in visual dialogue with Marroquin’s own creative work which includes ceramic sculptures and printmaking. Solís’s photography reflects over 25 years of transnational Chicana and lesbian organizing primarily in Chicago and Mexico City between 1975 and 1990.

About the Artist
Nicole Marroquin is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and teacher educator whose work explores spatial justice and Latinx history.

Through research and creative practice, she aims to recover and re-present histories of Black and brown youth and women’s leadership in the struggle for justice in Chicago.

Marroquin has presented her work at the Kochi Biennale, the Annual Conference of the American Association of Research Librarians, University of Maine, New York Archivist Round Table, Jane Addams Hull House Museum, Northwestern University, DePaul Museum of Art, on WLPN Lumpen Radio, Gallery 400, Hyde Park Art Center and more.

Organized By: Yaffe Digital Media Initiative

On Thursday, 3/16, we will be hosting the McDonald's VP of US Marketing, Branded Content, and Engagement, JJ Healan. JJ is one of my (Professor Marcus Collins) closest clients at McDonald’s, responsible for leading the Famous Orders campaigns that we created within the walls of McDs along with the Adult Happy Meal activation, and a host of other game-changing initiatives that have helped earn the brand its top spot on Fast Company's 2023 Most Innovative Brands list. Furthermore, JJ has been recognized as Ad Age 2021 Brand Leader of the Year, Business Insider 2021 Rising Star, and more recently one of the 2022 Adweek 50 Luminaries. Needless to say, JJ is amazing, and, fortunately for us, she will be joining us THIS THURSDAY to discuss her career, her successes (at Coke and McDs), her life lessons, and what will be required for tomorrow's marketing leaders.

The event will start at 7pm in the Corner Commons of Blau--Room B1590.
I hope you can join us.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

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

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

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

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

Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Celebrate the artists in our current exhibit, Portraits of Feminism in Japan, on Wednesday, March 22nd with a reception and roundtable conversation.
Reception (in person): 6:00 - 7:00 pm ET, Lane Hall Exhibit Space

Artists’ Roundtable (hybrid): 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. ET in Lane Hall 2239 or on Zoom

About the exhibit:

The exhibit features original works by nine incredible contemporary artists. The involved artists are U-M students, local artists, and artists based in Japan, all of whom are nominated by members of our community.

This exhibit presents portraits of eight feminists who have shaped the landscape of women's and gender rights in Japan and beyond. The portraits and accompanying texts challenge simplistic understandings of "feminism" while also drawing attention to a diversity of experiences, needs, and activism within Japan. This exhibit will also spotlight the history of Japanese studies at the University of Michigan in conjunction with the Center for Japanese Studies' 75th anniversary celebration.

Portraits of Feminism in Japan will run through 12 May 2023. The exhibit space is located on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 South State Street) through the main entryway. The exhibit is open for viewing M-F 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.

This event is presented by the Institute for Research on Women & Gender (IRWG), the Center for Japanese Studies, the Department of Women's & Gender Studies, and the Center for the Education of Women+ (CEW+).

Sense of Self: The Islamic Contemporary (March 24, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/105043 105043-21810641@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 24, 2023 10:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

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

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

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

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

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of Middle East Studies

Part of the Meet the Author Series. In the ancient Mediterranean world, the sick and injured visited sites associated with healing deities in order to be cured. In Palestine, ritual cures were often sought at sites associated with water, and especially at the thermal-mineral springs. This talk will show how evidence from Hammat Gader and Hammat Tiberias indicates that Jews and Christians bathed in these springs alongside devotees of Asclepius, hoping that a divine healer would appear to them in a dream and heal them. Join guest speaker Dr. Megan Nutzman April 3rd at 4:00-5:30pm in Tisch Hall, Room 1014.

Additionally, Dr. Nutzman will be leading a discussion about her book in a different location for a small group of faculty and graduate students at 9:00am. If you are interested please contact Deborah Forger at dkforger@umich.edu to register as space is limited.

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

MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series
April 5, 2022
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.

This year’s celebratory events include a community prayer breakfast, a black film festival, and the Kidz Zone tent at the Top of the Park. A host of panel discussions will highlight topics such as housing discrimination and voter suppression, to name a few.

Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD)

Join us at ISR for a reception kicking off RCGD's fall Group Dynamics Seminar Series, "Psychological Diversity across the Globe," organized by Shinobu Kitayama and Catherine Thomas.

The reception will include brief presentations on the topic and the series.

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.

In person: ISR Thompson 1430

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 “New Directions in Social Psychology.”

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

In an interview with the French newspaper Le Monde in 1983, Palestinian poet Mamud Darwish called Palestine “the Andalus of the possible.” Taking inspiration from Darwish’s words, this talk asks: what has the memory of al-Andalus (Muslim Iberia) made possible for Palestinian writers and thinkers? Since the early twentieth century, several prominent Palestinian writers have turned to the memory of al-Andalus to reflect on the political plight of their homeland, to decry occupation and cultural erasure, and to imagine a future for Palestine. Drawing on examples from this long tradition of Palestinian writing about al-Andalus, this talk maps the intersection of two diasporic imaginaries that have crisscrossed the Mediterranean: the Andalusi imaginary and the Palestinian one.

Organized By: Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD)

In the past three decades, cultural psychologists have shown how culture shapes cognitive, emotional, and motivational processes, making it a crucial factor in understanding human behavior. While much of this work has focused on comparing Western European and East Asian heritages, there is a growing need to empirically examine other cultures and uncover new insights into how culture influences the mind. In this talk, I will examine the influence of ecology and geography on human activity, leading to the formation of organized systems of cultural practices and meanings known as "ecocultural complexes." These complexes have given rise to diverse cultural zones we observe today. Outside of the modern West, most cultural zones emphasize an interdependent view of the self. Notably, however, non-Western cultural zones display significant variability. I will explore several non-Western cultural zones, such as Arab, East Asian, Latin American, and South Asian zones, and examine how these cultures may have played a substantial role in shaping the contemporary Western cultural zone. The Western cultural zone, in contrast to non-Western zones, prioritizes the self’s independence over interdependence. By going beyond the conventional Western-East Asian comparison, this talk aims to broaden our understanding of the impact of culture on cognition, emotions, motivation, and behavior. It highlights the significance of exploring diverse cultural zones to gain deeper insights into the intricate relationship between culture and the human mind.

Does culture 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.

Shakti: 50th Anniversary Tour
Feat. John McLaughlin, Zakir Hussain, & Shankar Mahadevan
with very special guest Béla Fleck

Following the Summer 2023 release of This Moment – their first new studio album in 46 years – revolutionary ensemble Shakti will continue to discover and explore the musical common ground bridging East and West on an exclusive US tour marking the 50th anniversary since their first concerts.

Born in the mid-1970s out of the deep artistic and spiritual connection bonding British guitarist John McLaughlin and Indian tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain, Shakti’s cross-cultural musical conversation dissolved boundaries with uncommon passion, grace, and dexterity, awakening subsequent generations of musicians to the possibilities of new creative approaches in the process. The unprecedented transcontinental collaboration forged the template for what is often called “world music.” Together they honed an ecstatic new fusion, blazing uncharted pathways and demonstrating the potential of such global composites to generations of musicians and fans around the world.

Alongside McLaughlin and Hussain, today’s Shakti features vocalist Shankar Mahadevan, violinist Ganesh Rajagopalan, and percussionist Selvaganesh Vinayakram (son of original Shakti ghatam player T.H. “Vikku” Vinayakram). Joining Shakti will be another performer dedicated to intermingling and transcending genres: banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck, who will open the performances with a solo set.

RCGD Fall Seminar Series: Psychological Diversity across the Globe (Jackson G. Lu) (September 25, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109287 109287-21821351@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 25, 2023 3:30pm
Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD)

In the US, Asians are commonly viewed as the “model minority” in business academia. Some inspiring initiatives intended to help ethnic minorities to attain tenure and deanship exclude Asians from participating, perhaps because Asians are assumed to be already successful. Jackson G. Lu challenges this assumption by revealing a “Bamboo Ceiling” in tenure, full professorship, and deanship in US business schools. He analyzes a 10-year panel of tenure-track professors and deans at top-50 US business schools. Although Asians appear well represented at first glance, a stark contrast emerges once one distinguishes between East Asians (e.g., ethnic Chinese) and South Asians (e.g., ethnic Indians): Among all ethnicities, East Asian faculty are proportionally the least likely to be tenured professors, full professors, and deans, whereas South Asian faculty are the most likely. Moreover, East Asians tend to be employed by lower-ranked schools. To understand these puzzling patterns, Lu constructs large-scale datasets to test potential contributing factors, including (a) faculty recruitment bar, (b) research productivity, (c) research impact, (d) teaching evaluations, (e) invited seminar talks, (f) social media activities, and (g) social media mentions. As one of the largest endeavors to examine ethnic disparities in academia, this research extends the diversity, equity, and inclusion literature and the “leaky pipeline” literature by uncovering East Asian faculty’s neglected challenges in US business schools.

Jackson G. Lu is the Sloan School Career Development Associate Professor in Work and Organization Studies at the MIT Sloan School of Management. He received his PhD from Columbia Business School. Jackson studies culture and globalization through two distinctive research streams. His first research stream examines the “Bamboo Ceiling” experienced by Asians despite their educational and economic achievements in the United States. His second research stream elucidates how multicultural experiences (e.g., working abroad, intercultural friendships) shape key organizational outcomes, including leadership, creativity, and ethics.

Jackson has published in top general science journals (Nature Human Behaviour, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences), management journals (Journal of Applied Psychology, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Organization Science), and psychology journals (Annual Review of Psychology, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Psychological Science). His research has been featured in over 300 media outlets (e.g., BBC, The Economist, The Financial Times, Harvard Business Review, NPR, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Washington Post).He has received prestigious awards and honors, including World’s 40 Best Business School Professors Under 40, 30 Thinkers to Watch, NLS Rising Star Award from the Academy of Management, Rising Star Award from the Association for Psychological Science, SAGE Early Career Trajectory Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, Early Career Award from the International Association for Conflict Management, New Investigator Award from the Behavioral Science & Policy Association, and the Best Senior Editor Award from Management and Organization Review.

Iranian women have been protagonists in revolutionary movements from the Constitutional Revolution (1905) to the Iranian Revolution (1979), the civil rights movements of 2009 (Green Movement), and more recently the 2022 Woman, Life, and Freedom Movement. They have been fighting for voting rights, gender and ethnic equality, freedom of assembly and of expression as well as the right to a dignified life. Using the media of the arts, the three panelists will discuss the visual and performative language of activism to think about the role of gender and the visual arts in revolutionary Iran.

About the panelists:
Orkideh Torabi was born in Tehran and earned her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2016 and she received her MA and BFA from The University of Art in Tehran. Through her vibrant and intricate paintings, Torabi challenges traditional notions of femininity, power dynamics, and identity. Her unique artistic style blends elements of Persian miniature painting with contemporary imagery, blurring the boundaries between the past and the present.

As part of her residency at the Institute for the Humanities, Orkideh Torabi is heading to the U-M Dearborn campus. In this talk, she will delve into the transition of her focus from gender-segregated spaces to the exploration of power dynamics and governance while taking a broader perspective on society. She will focus on two paintings that embody this societal paradox and explore how her art challenges conventional notions of femininity, power, and identity, achieved by blending Persian miniature art with contemporary imagery.

The talk will be followed by a strolling reception and the opportunity to talk to the artist and view her work.

About Orkideh Torabi:
Orkideh Torabi, a native of Tehran, Iran, began her artistic journey in her hometown. She obtained an MFA in graphic design and illustration from the University of Art in Tehran and served as a faculty member there for seven years. Eager to explore new horizons, Torabi made the bold decision to relocate to the United States, driven by her passion to advance her artistic career. She completed her second MFA in 2016 at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Presently, Torabi resides and works in Brooklyn, New York, channeling her artistic vision and enriching the cultural landscape of her new home.

Through her vibrant and intricate paintings, Torabi challenges traditional notions of femininity, power dynamics, and identity. Her unique artistic style blends elements of Persian miniature painting with contemporary imagery, blurring the boundaries between the past and the present.

In her artistic practice, she embraces the role of a storyteller, recognizing the integral role that narration plays in her paintings. Within her work, she has crafted a diverse array of whimsical characters, each with their own unique backstory and personality. For her, the canvas becomes a stage, and her paintings take on the essence of a captivating play or theatrical scene, with these characters serving as the ensemble cast, each playing their distinct role.

*Orkideh Torabi is the 2023 Jean Yokes Woodhead Visting Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities. This event is part of the LSA's fall 2023 Arts & Resistance theme semester.*

RCGD Fall Seminar Series: Psychological Diversity across the Globe (Ayşe K. Üskül) (October 9, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109288 109288-21821352@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 9, 2023 3:30pm
Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD)

In this talk, Üskül will present recent findings pointing to a distinct emphasis on several forms of independence (relative intensity of disengaging [vs. engaging] emotions, happiness based on disengaging [vs. engaging] emotions, dispositional [vs. situational] attribution style, self-construal as different from others, self-directed, self-reliant, self-expressive, and consistent) and interdependence (closeness to in-group [vs. out-group] members, self-construal as connected and committed to close others) in the Mediterranean region compared to more commonly studied East Asian and Anglo-Western cultural groups. She discusses this unique pattern in light of the importance of “honor” values in Mediterranean societies, which require individuals to develop and protect a sense of their personal self-worth and their social reputation, through assertiveness, competitiveness, and retaliation in the face of threats. These findings extend previous insights into patterns of cultural orientation beyond commonly examined East–West comparisons to an understudied world region. In addition, she will share a within-region analysis of self-construal social orientation, and cognitive style to examine the role of ethnic, linguistic, national, religious and socio-ecological factors in similarities and differences between subregional groups.

Üskül is a social and cultural psychologist interested in the role of cultural and socio-ecological context in self-related, interpersonal and social cognitive processes. She completed her degrees at Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey (BA), Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, the Netherlands (MA), and York University, Toronto, Canada (PhD) and held a SSHRC-funded Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor between 2004-06. She held academic positions at the University of Essex, Queen’s University Belfast, and University of Kent before joining the University of Sussex in 2022. Her past research on socio-economic basis of interdependence, cultural conceptions of honor, and culture and health behavior change received funding from the British Academy, the US National Science Foundation, the Economic and Social Research Council, the Leverhulme Trust, and Japanese Society of the Promotion of Science, among others. Her current comparative research on the role of honor in social interactional processes is funded by a European Research Council Consolidator Grant (www.honorlogic.org). She is Co-Chief Editor of the European Review of Social Psychology and the President of the Psychology Section of the British Science Association.

Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Overview: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming every aspect of our society and our lives. However, just like any emerging technology, AI’s impact varies greatly for different demographic groups, in different geographic regions, and is shaped by social conventions, culture, religion, economic realities, among many other factors. We invite everyone who is interested in understanding the impact of AI to join Marina Alsahawneh and Merve Hickok for a discussion of the impact of AI on women in the US and the Middle East. They will discuss gender biases in AI algorithms, opportunities and gender inequity in the AI-enabled workforce, and cyber-based violence against women. They will discuss how these intersect with the political, social, cultural, economic and religious features of different geographic regions.

Speakers:
Marina Alsahawneh, Gender and Inclusion Officer at Jordan Open Source Association

Merve Hickok, Responsible Data & AI Advisor, Michigan Institute for Data Science

Moderator:
Jing Liu, Executive Director, Michigan Institute for Data Science

Join us in the Modern Languages Building, Lec Room 1 (1220), for the Fall 2023 Ukrainian Film Series!

We will be showing wonderful Ukrainian films; light snacks will be available. Our October featured film is Mavka, a remarkable animation based on the work of Lesya Ukrainka "Lisova pisnya (Forest Song)."

The November featured film, Carol of the Bells is adapted from a popular and loved Ukrainian folk melody. The peaceful and neighborly existence of three families, Polish, Ukrainian, and Jewish, sharing a large house in the years preceding and post-war, is shattered. It's beautiful in its small details of food and cutlery, children's games, and objects of the everyday life of the city of Stanislaviv.

Thank you to our generous event co-sponsor, Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia (WCEE). If you have questions or accommodation needs, please contact the Slavic Department at slavic@umich.edu.

Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD)

The rice theory is the idea traditional rice farming’s labor and irrigation demands made rice-farming cultures more interdependent cultures. Thomas Talhelm will present data showing that northern and southern China have cultural differences that fall along the historical borders of rice and wheat. And since most of East Asia was built on rice farming, rice could help explain larger East-West cultural differences. In this talk, he’ll show new data on manspreading around the world. He and his team coded how much space 7,000 people were taking up in Starbucks in nine countries. He will also build from the cartoonish kindergarten version of the rice theory (rice = collectivism!) to a slightly more realistic undergrad version. The undergrad version of the theory can explain puzzles like why China’s wheat-farming north is still so different from wheat-farming Western Europe and why China’s most fertile farming regions were the last to start farming.

Thomas Talhelm is an Associate Professor of Behavioral Science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He researches the agricultural roots of cultural differences and how people (researchers!) get collectivism wrong. Thomas has lived in China for seven years as a Princeton in Asia Fellow, a freelance journalist, and a Fulbright scholar. When he should have been writing his dissertation, he founded a social enterprise called Smart Air, which makes low-cost, open-data-backed air purifiers to help people in China and India protect themselves from air pollution.

Location: Power Center for the Performing Arts
Organized By: University Musical Society (UMS)

Sean O’Casey’s The Plough and the Stars is a gripping portrayal of the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin, Ireland, a six-day conflict led by Irish Republicans who were attempting to establish an independent Ireland while the British were preoccupied by World War I. Set in a tenement house, the story follows the lives of ordinary citizens who are caught up in the tumultuous events of the rebellion. The tenement’s residents grapple with their own loyalties and beliefs as the rebellion unfolds, with their romanticized ideals clashing with the harsh realities of war.

Through vivid dialogue and dramatic events, O’Casey masterfully portrays their struggles, dreams, and disillusionment in the face of political upheaval, challenging romanticized notions of heroism while highlighting the often-unseen sacrifices made by ordinary individuals. Director Garry Hynes “deliver[s] a Plough that leaves room for all of the fun to be had…while shifting elegantly into an expressionistic mode. A significant achievement by Hynes and her superb ensemble.” (The Irish Examiner)

This performance is part of Seán O’Casey’s Dublin Trilogy, which includes The Plough and the Stars, The Shadow of a Gunman, and Juno and the Paycock. Get tickets to all three performances and save.

In The Shadow of a Gunman, Sean O’Casey explores the Irish War of Independence (1920-21). Set in a tenement house in Dublin, the story centers around the character of Donal Davoren, a struggling poet mistaken for an Irish Republican Army gunman by his neighbors, who approach him with a mixture of fear and intrigue. As the rumor of Davoren’s affiliation spreads, he finds himself caught between his desire to maintain his romantic image as a poet and the harsh reality of being seen as a revolutionary. The tension escalates when an actual IRA gunman arrives, forcing Davoren to confront the consequences of his assumed identity.

“O’Casey’s dramatic toolbag is stuffed with the conventions of his time: comic double acts, maudlin heroines, tragic twists, malaproprisms, and melodrama” (The Irish Examiner) as he highlights the profound impact of political unrest on ordinary lives.

This performance is part of Seán O’Casey’s Dublin Trilogy, which includes The Plough and the Stars, The Shadow of a Gunman, and Juno and the Paycock. Get tickets to all three performances and save.

The Irish Civil War of 1922-23 provides a backdrop of political unrest and social upheaval that amplifies the struggles of the working-class characters in Sean O’Casey’s Juno and the Paycock. The Boyle family lives in squalor, with Captain Jack’s laziness and alcoholism contributing to their financial struggles while his wife Juno works tirelessly to provide for the family. When the family receives news of an unexpected inheritance, their hopes rise and they dream of a better life. However, their newfound fortune soon proves illusory, and their lives become entangled in a web of betrayal, deceit, and tragedy.

With humor and tragedy, O’Casey depicts the harsh realities of life in a war-torn society and the impact of ideological divides within a single family. Of the first performances of DruidO’Casey in Galway, Ireland in July, The Arts Review observed, “To see one of O’Casey’s classics is to be astonished at the manner in which he courageously articulated, challenged, and shared an emerging Ireland. To see all three together is to go deeper and ask how far have we traveled, or failed to? Many of the questions raised by O’Casey prov[e] prescient, and alas, still relevant.”

Sean O’Casey’s The Plough and the Stars is a gripping portrayal of the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin, Ireland, a six-day conflict led by Irish Republicans who were attempting to establish an independent Ireland while the British were preoccupied by World War I. Set in a tenement house, the story follows the lives of ordinary citizens who are caught up in the tumultuous events of the rebellion. The tenement’s residents grapple with their own loyalties and beliefs as the rebellion unfolds, with their romanticized ideals clashing with the harsh realities of war.

Through vivid dialogue and dramatic events, O’Casey masterfully portrays their struggles, dreams, and disillusionment in the face of political upheaval, challenging romanticized notions of heroism while highlighting the often-unseen sacrifices made by ordinary individuals. Director Garry Hynes “deliver[s] a Plough that leaves room for all of the fun to be had…while shifting elegantly into an expressionistic mode. A significant achievement by Hynes and her superb ensemble.” (The Irish Examiner)

A century ago, Ireland was reborn in the fires of rebellion and war. The playwright Sean O’Casey bore witness to these seismic events and dramatized them as the Dublin Trilogy, three great works of Irish theater full of history, humanity, and humor, all written in the immediate aftermath of the tumultuous period.

Druid will weave O’Casey’s three plays into an epic theatrical event of conflict, national identity, and the human toll of war: DruidO’Casey. The three plays will be presented in only two US cities — New York and Ann Arbor.

Directed by Tony Award winner Garry Hynes, a single company of 18 actors will perform all three plays, drawing parallels between an Irish past and an international present. Each play will be presented twice in Ann Arbor, with the opportunity to view each work individually, across the week, or as a single immersive experience. Experience one play, or experience them all!

In The Shadow of a Gunman, Sean O’Casey explores the Irish War of Independence (1920-21). Set in a tenement house in Dublin, the story centers around the character of Donal Davoren, a struggling poet mistaken for an Irish Republican Army gunman by his neighbors, who approach him with a mixture of fear and intrigue. As the rumor of Davoren’s affiliation spreads, he finds himself caught between his desire to maintain his romantic image as a poet and the harsh reality of being seen as a revolutionary. The tension escalates when an actual IRA gunman arrives, forcing Davoren to confront the consequences of his assumed identity.

“O’Casey’s dramatic toolbag is stuffed with the conventions of his time: comic double acts, maudlin heroines, tragic twists, malaproprisms, and melodrama” (The Irish Examiner) as he highlights the profound impact of political unrest on ordinary lives.

The Irish Civil War of 1922-23 provides a backdrop of political unrest and social upheaval that amplifies the struggles of the working-class characters in Sean O’Casey’s Juno and the Paycock. The Boyle family lives in squalor, with Captain Jack’s laziness and alcoholism contributing to their financial struggles while his wife Juno works tirelessly to provide for the family. When the family receives news of an unexpected inheritance, their hopes rise and they dream of a better life. However, their newfound fortune soon proves illusory, and their lives become entangled in a web of betrayal, deceit, and tragedy.

With humor and tragedy, O’Casey depicts the harsh realities of life in a war-torn society and the impact of ideological divides within a single family.

Carlos Miguel Prieto, celebrated as a rising star both domestically and abroad, was named 2019 Conductor of the Year by Musical America and is the foremost Mexican conductor of his generation. He serves as artistic director of México City’s Minería Symphony, which was founded in the 1970s and is widely regarded as the leading musical institution in México — one that regularly supports and programs Mexican composers. Housed at the Academia de Música del Palacio de Minería, the name honors the period from the 18th century when mining was one of the region’s most important economic activities.

Joining the Minería Symphony in their first Ann Arbor performance is Latin Grammy Award-winning pianist/composer Gabriela Montero, a frequent Prieto collaborator. Montero, known for her passionate virtuosity and brilliant improvisation, performs her first piano concerto, a soulful work showing the complexities of South American life. “Montero’s playing has everything: crackling rhythmic brio, subtle shadings, steely power in climactic moments, soulful lyricism in the ruminative passages and, best of all, unsentimental expressivity.” (The New York Times)

The concert includes works by two Mexican composers: Carlos Chávez (1899- 1978), an ethnomusicologist whose Sinfonía India reflects the harmonies, rhythms, melodies, and instruments of the Indian cultures of Mexico, and Silvestre Revueltas, whose concert suite La noche de los mayas depicts Mexico’s preColumbian heritage and is drawn from his highly-regarded 1939 film score.

RCGD Fall Seminar Series: Psychological Diversity across the Globe (Michael Muthukrishna) (October 30, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/109290 109290-21821354@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 30, 2023 3:30pm

In a new book, A Theory of Everyone: Who We Are, How We Got Here, and Where We’re Going, Michael Muthukrishna argues that the psychological and behavioral sciences are in the midst of a scientific revolution on the scale of Newtonian and Einsteinian physics, the periodic table, and Darwinian evolution. It is a revolution moving us from alchemy to chemistry and one that is bringing order to chaos and laying the path from science to technology – in this case, policy applications. This emerging science is grounded in a formal general theory that recognizes that our psychology and behavior are governed by millions of years of genetic evolution, our genetic inheritance as an African ape; thousands of years of cultural evolution, our cultural inheritance a product of path dependencies and cultural adaptations in the various ecologies we’ve thrived in across the planet; and a short lifetime of experience, tuning these other two lines of informational inheritance. This revolution has 3 parts: (1) general and specific, ultimate and proximate formal theories that make falsifiable predictions for universal and culturally specific psychology and behavior; (2) new tools for measuring and analyzing psychology and culture through large datasets, field and lab experiments; (3) real world tests using policy interventions, guided by the principle that if your theories don’t work in the real world, they don’t work at all.

Michael Muthukrishna is Associate Professor of Economic Psychology and Affiliate in Developmental Economics and in Data Science at the London School of Economics (LSE), Technical Director of the Database of Religious History, and CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) program for Boundaries, Membership, and Belonging. His research focuses on human biological and cultural evolution and how the “theory of human behavior” that emerges from this research can be used to improve innovation, reduce corruption, and increase cross-cultural cooperation. His work has been featured in a variety of news outlets including CNN, BBC, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Times, Scientific American, Nature News, and Science News. He advises both governments and organizations and has won several awards for his research. Michael’s research is informed by his educational background in engineering and psychology, with graduate training in evolutionary biology, economics, and statistics, and his personal background living in Sri Lanka, Botswana, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Canada, United States, and the United Kingdom. He is the author of “A Theory of Everyone: Who We Are, How We Got Here, and Where We’re Going”.
