RSVP here: http://www.cew.umich.edu/events/the-love-her-collective-a-community-academic-partnership-to-address-the-needs-of-transgender-women-of-color-in-detroit

This workshop will present the origin, current projects, and lessons learned from the Love Her Collective. The Love Her Collective is a community-academic partnership between researchers in the School of Public Health and the non-profit the Trans Sistas of Color Project.

Since 2017, members of the Love Her Collective have been engaged in focus group research, in-depth interviews, survey research, program evaluation, and intervention adaptation and testing to understand and address the needs of transgender women of color in Detroit. Through lecture and group discussion format, this workshop will provide an overview of building and sustaining community partnerships. Insights and lessons learned for sustaining partnership activities will be discussed in light of historical events in the U.S. and internationally – including the Black Lives Matter movement, the increased visibility of systemic violence toward transgender people worldwide, and the disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 on communities of color.

Additionally, an integral part of the Inspire initiative is pairing advocacy, social change, and activism with skills that enhance a sense of well-being, focus, and interconnectedness. A short guided Mindfulness Meditation practice will be incorporated into the program.

Using the Arts to Flip Understanding (July 12, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/95844 95844-21791184@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, July 12, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: a2ru (Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities)

When you’re on a mental “hamster wheel,” running faster doesn’t help. Slowing down, stepping to the side, and seeing from another perspective does.

In our work as faculty, practitioners, and researchers, we may find ourselves getting stuck in the same places, finding that our familiar approaches fail to move us forward. How do we refresh and jumpstart inspiration? To get “unstuck,” we need to try new perspectives and approaches. In this workshop, we use arts-based activities to open up new neural pathways. We refresh our thinking and jumpstart inspiration with poetry, visual art, and movement. This class calls upon a range of intelligences and skills inherent in us all – no formal arts training required.


Experimenting with new materials can provoke new insight.

What to expect:

*immersive, artistic exploration
*guided critical reflection
*one-on-one discussion with peers
*two hours that fly by

What you’ll get:

*a refreshed perspective on an area or question that’s important to you
*a dedicated time and space for exploring that area in new ways

FUN (September 9, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/91369 91369-21678455@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 9, 2022 10:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

What Can ‘A Pile of Stuff’ Truly Become?

Unlike any art museum exhibition you’ve seen, FUN (working title) will transform before your very eyes as it becomes what you — our community, our students, and our visitors — make of it.

Over the course of this exhibition, UMMA’s glass-walled Stenn gallery will become a creation space. Piles of materials and supplies will form the backdrop of a collaborative, summer-long free artists’ workshop. A place to create, experiment, glue, paint, and get messy.

You’re invited to roll up your sleeves and work have fun alongside local artist Mark Tucker and his U-M students to help create this colorful, kinetic, and altogether FUN art installation. Inspired by objects in UMMA’s collection, you’ll create giant movable and interactive sculptures (AKA puppets) that will take on a life of their own. 

Along the way, you may uncover how art is made, how a museum works, and maybe even discover something about yourself.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost, the UMMA Docent Program, the U-M Lloyd Scholars for Writing and the Arts, the U-M School of Education, and the University of Michigan Credit Union Arts Adventures Program, UMMA's Lead Sponsor for Student and Family Engagement.

Natural Language Processing Workshop Series (September 19, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97509 97509-21794662@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 19, 2022 3:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Written text contains a wealth of information that can be turned into research data to study almost every aspect of human behavior, human health and our society. However, converting text to usable data requires an understanding of standard techniques from the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). MIDAS and the AI Lab are jointly organizing a monthly series of NLP workshops during the Fall 2022 semester. The first installment is on Sept. 19, and the second installment is on Oct. 10. Each session does not directly depend upon information from previous sessions.

In the first workshop of the series, we will provide a broad overview of NLP and introduce basic concepts used in NLP, including keyword counting, sentiment classification, and topic modeling. Additional topics include how NLP can be used, what the data look like, what (social science) questions could be answered using NLP, and more.

The second session, on Oct 10, is titled "What's in Text Data?"
Written text contains rich information about human knowledge, opinions, and communication styles, but how do we extract insight about all this from the data? In this second workshop in the series, we will first introduce Jupyter notebooks, a popular platform for performing data science research. Then we will discuss how to choose a dataset for your research question, extract your own dataset from social media sites like Reddit and Twitter, and convert the raw text data to a usable format. We will then explore several methods to extract information and gain insight from text data, including named entity recognition and sentiment analysis.

Race and Racism, Comparatively: A Fall 2022 Series (September 20, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96941 96941-21793600@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 20, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Comparative Literature

“Race and Racism, Comparatively” is a series of three conversations highlighting the work of scholars both in and beyond U-M whose scholarship is contributing to much-needed conversations on the global dimension of race, racism, and their impacts. Through these events, we seek to help broaden the aperture through which the academic community considers these themes, encouraging an understanding of a dynamic and interconnected set of systems, practices and material effects.

September 20th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Virtual conversation with University of Pennsylvania scholar and president of the Middle East Studies Association, Eve Troutt Powell and Tennessee State University scholar, Keisha Brown. A cultural historian, Professor Troutt Powell’s scholarship has focused the history of the modern Middle East with a particular emphasis on slavery in the Nile Valley and in the former Ottoman Empire. Professor Brown’s work has focused on modern China and the negotiation of Sino-Blackness; her research interests broadly include ethnic and race studies, postcolonial theory and social and cultural history in East Asia.

October 4th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Roundtable featuring U-M faculty whose scholarship takes up the question of race and racism according to a transnational lens. The areas of focus represented among the participants include: the construction of blackness in the Francophone world; race, gender and Islam; the role of race and racialization as a tool of biopower in Mexico; and race and representation in US classrooms, literature and media. This event will be in-person at Kuenzel Room in the Michigan League, with a hybrid stream option.
Register for streaming here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ce6GMDBUSPyNH94U9LQBDg

November 1st 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Pedagogy Workshop. The groups will function as both an opportunity to reflect on the provocations raised during previous two events, dissect our assumptions about race on the global stage, and exchange ideas and best practices for teaching the same. The aim is to create a constructive and productive dialogue which will ideally produce a series of “best practices'' for teaching race and racism from a comparative, global standpoint. This event will be in-person at the Vandenberg Room in the League, with a hybrid stream option on Zoom. Register for streaming here:

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.

Race and Racism, Comparatively: A Fall 2022 Series (October 4, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96941 96941-21793601@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 4, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Comparative Literature

“Race and Racism, Comparatively” is a series of three conversations highlighting the work of scholars both in and beyond U-M whose scholarship is contributing to much-needed conversations on the global dimension of race, racism, and their impacts. Through these events, we seek to help broaden the aperture through which the academic community considers these themes, encouraging an understanding of a dynamic and interconnected set of systems, practices and material effects.

September 20th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Virtual conversation with University of Pennsylvania scholar and president of the Middle East Studies Association, Eve Troutt Powell and Tennessee State University scholar, Keisha Brown. A cultural historian, Professor Troutt Powell’s scholarship has focused the history of the modern Middle East with a particular emphasis on slavery in the Nile Valley and in the former Ottoman Empire. Professor Brown’s work has focused on modern China and the negotiation of Sino-Blackness; her research interests broadly include ethnic and race studies, postcolonial theory and social and cultural history in East Asia.

October 4th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Roundtable featuring U-M faculty whose scholarship takes up the question of race and racism according to a transnational lens. The areas of focus represented among the participants include: the construction of blackness in the Francophone world; race, gender and Islam; the role of race and racialization as a tool of biopower in Mexico; and race and representation in US classrooms, literature and media. This event will be in-person at Kuenzel Room in the Michigan League, with a hybrid stream option.

November 1st 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Pedagogy Workshop. The groups will function as both an opportunity to reflect on the provocations raised during previous two events, dissect our assumptions about race on the global stage, and exchange ideas and best practices for teaching the same. The aim is to create a constructive and productive dialogue which will ideally produce a series of “best practices'' for teaching race and racism from a comparative, global standpoint. This event will be in-person at the Vandenberg Room in the League, with a hybrid stream option on Zoom. Register for streaming here:

By participating in WeListen sessions, staff members will:
- Expand understanding of a prominent political topic
- Practice discussing difficult topics with others,
- Gain openness to new ideas and perspectives,
- Learn to productively challenge an idea, and
- Form a sense of community among fellow staff members.

Natural Language Processing Workshop Series (October 10, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/97509 97509-21794843@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 10, 2022 3:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Written text contains a wealth of information that can be turned into research data to study almost every aspect of human behavior, human health and our society. However, converting text to usable data requires an understanding of standard techniques from the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). MIDAS and the AI Lab are jointly organizing a monthly series of NLP workshops during the Fall 2022 semester. The first installment is on Sept. 19, and the second installment is on Oct. 10. Each session does not directly depend upon information from previous sessions.

In the first workshop of the series, we will provide a broad overview of NLP and introduce basic concepts used in NLP, including keyword counting, sentiment classification, and topic modeling. Additional topics include how NLP can be used, what the data look like, what (social science) questions could be answered using NLP, and more.

The second session, on Oct 10, is titled "What's in Text Data?"
Written text contains rich information about human knowledge, opinions, and communication styles, but how do we extract insight about all this from the data? In this second workshop in the series, we will first introduce Jupyter notebooks, a popular platform for performing data science research. Then we will discuss how to choose a dataset for your research question, extract your own dataset from social media sites like Reddit and Twitter, and convert the raw text data to a usable format. We will then explore several methods to extract information and gain insight from text data, including named entity recognition and sentiment analysis.

Speakers:
Alex John London, PhD
Professor of Ethics and Philosophy
Director of the Center for Ethics and Policy at Carnegie Mellon University
Explainability Is Not the Solution to Structural Challenges to AI in Medicine

Explainability is often treated as a necessary condition for ethical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in Medicine. In this brief talk I survey some of the structural challenges facing the development and deployment of effective AI systems in health care to illustrate some of the limitations to explainability in addressing these challenges. This talk builds on prior work (London 2019, 2022) to illustrate how ambitions for AI in health care likely require significant changes to key aspects of health systems.

Melissa McCradden, PhD, MHSc
Director of AI in Medicine
The Hospital for Sick Children
On the Inextricability of Explainability from Ethics: Explainable AI does not Ethical AI Make

Explainability is embedded into a plethora of legal, professional, and regulatory guidelines as it is often presumed that an ethical use of AI will require explainable algorithms. There is considerable controversy, however, as to whether post hoc explanations are computationally reliable, their value for decision-making, and the relational implications of their use in shared decision-making. This talk will explore the literature across these domains and argue that while post hoc explainability may be a reasonable technical goal, it should not be offered status as a moral standard by which AI use is judged to be ‘ethical.’

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

Writing in graduate school calls on students to work in a variety of new genres and challenges writers to expand on their skills as communicators. This workshop will help early graduate student writers identify critical practices and strategies to enhance their writing and build an effective approach to graduate writing. We’ll talk about becoming more strategic readers and examine patterns of inquiry across disciplines moving from the practice of asking good questions to the importance of topic construction. We will also talk about the variety of communication forms graduate writing can take. The workshop will conclude by examining our writing routines and finding ways to expand our own writing process to succeed in graduate school.

Presenter: Cat Cassel, Sweetland Center for Writing

This year's conferences include workshops and affinity group sessions on, but not limited to, environmental justice, food and land sovereignty, and housing disenfranchisement. The goal of this event is to create a space to strengthen community ties and mutual aid projects, as well as to supply attendees with the toolkit needed to partake in more sustainable and self-sufficient practices in both their activism and personal life. Our keynote speaker will be Mama Shu, founder of an up and coming eco-village in Highland Park, Michigan.

The conference will be held on October 22, 2022 from 10am-5:30pm at the School of Social Work. Food and Drinks will be provided. Attendance is open to all.

What if your sex ed class included asexuality? Most sexual education is not ace-friendly, much less ace-focused, and we're going to take a stab at fixing that! This interactive workshop will focus on defining terms like consent, desire, and arousal, communication in relationships, setting boundaries, and being proud of your identity! You will be invited to reflect on how you experience your sexuality and have the opportunity to learn from asexual and ace-spectrum experiences.

Alum Connection with Jillian Lukas Rodriguez: Breaking into the Gig Economy and Living the Freelance Life (October 26, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99204 99204-21797874@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 26, 2022 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Opportunity Hub

Many dream of being their own boss, but Jillian Lukas Rodriguez (Sociology & Creative Writing, ‘12) brought this dream to fruition when she became a freelance copywriter shortly after graduating. Jillian describes herself as “a lifelong lover of words.” Jillian’s day job is a senior copywriter at a learning innovation company, a position she landed after spending her twenties building her own freelance copywriting business, where she served as a brand voice for many different companies. She’s since gone on to full-time work with two of her former clients, the first of which was a mission-driven entrepreneurial group. Coming to U-M as a first-generation college student, Jillian used her sociology and creative writing degrees to fuse her passion for people together with her love of words to craft a unique career path she hadn’t thought possible. In a world where freelancing, the gig economy, and side hustles are becoming increasingly attractive, Jillian returns to LSA to share the ups and downs of the freelance world, how to harness your freelancing experiencing towards securing full-time roles, and the skillset an LSA degree can provide should you pursue the independent freelance route.

About Jillian:


Jillian Lukas Rodriguez thrives at the intersection of content and community. A lifelong lover of words, Jillian is a 2012 graduate of the University of Michigan LSA and the Residential College, studying Sociology and RC Creative Writing. She graduated with highest honors and earned an RC “Robbies” award for high achievement in creative arts.


Jillian is passionate about the power of words and stories to build connections, solve problems, and inspire positive change. She has dedicated her professional career to doing just that, first as a freelance writer where she built a one-person copywriting house to support a range of organizations in their marketing, branding, and business efforts and helping to bring their brand stories to life. Since then, she’s gone full-time and served as a Social Content Lead for FleishmanHillard’s Chevrolet small and electric cars accounts, as well as serving as Chief Storyteller for the mission-driven entrepreneurial group the Small Giants Community. Jillian’s copywriting has made its way to national outlets such as Forbes.com and ThriveGlobal. Today, she’s Senior Copywriter for Maestro, a learning innovation company that inspires change in learners at Fortune 500 companies such as Royal Caribbean Cruises and Target.

You should attend this session if you are:
- A U-M undergraduate LSA student
- A first-generation college student
- Interested in freelance work after graduation
- Interested in pursuing a career in writing or copyediting after graduation

What you’ll gain by attending:
- Make a connection with a successful LSA alum ready to support you
- Get insights into telling your story and marketing your skills to different organizations
- Get ideas for non-traditional work opportunities after graduation
- Discover more about the world of copywriting and marketing

Race and Racism, Comparatively: A Fall 2022 Series (November 1, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96941 96941-21793602@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 1, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Comparative Literature

“Race and Racism, Comparatively” is a series of three conversations highlighting the work of scholars both in and beyond U-M whose scholarship is contributing to much-needed conversations on the global dimension of race, racism, and their impacts. Through these events, we seek to help broaden the aperture through which the academic community considers these themes, encouraging an understanding of a dynamic and interconnected set of systems, practices and material effects.

September 20th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Virtual conversation with University of Pennsylvania scholar and president of the Middle East Studies Association, Eve Troutt Powell and Tennessee State University scholar, Keisha Brown. A cultural historian, Professor Troutt Powell’s scholarship has focused the history of the modern Middle East with a particular emphasis on slavery in the Nile Valley and in the former Ottoman Empire. Professor Brown’s work has focused on modern China and the negotiation of Sino-Blackness; her research interests broadly include ethnic and race studies, postcolonial theory and social and cultural history in East Asia.

October 4th 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Roundtable featuring U-M faculty whose scholarship takes up the question of race and racism according to a transnational lens. The areas of focus represented among the participants include: the construction of blackness in the Francophone world; race, gender and Islam; the role of race and racialization as a tool of biopower in Mexico; and race and representation in US classrooms, literature and media. This event will be in-person at Kuenzel Room in the Michigan League, with a hybrid stream option.

November 1st 2022 @ 4:00 PM: Pedagogy Workshop. The groups will function as both an opportunity to reflect on the provocations raised during previous two events, dissect our assumptions about race on the global stage, and exchange ideas and best practices for teaching the same. The aim is to create a constructive and productive dialogue which will ideally produce a series of “best practices'' for teaching race and racism from a comparative, global standpoint. This event will be in-person at the Vandenberg Room in the League, with a hybrid stream option on Zoom. Register for streaming here:

Working with Contemporary Artists: (November 3, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99975 99975-21798955@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 3, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Museum Studies Program

“Art is what makes life more interesting than art,” said French artist Robert Filliou. He was right: working with contemporary artists is one of the most enriching activities that a professional or an organization can undertake. Whether in a museum, other cultural institution, or any public or private position, working with artists will unleash interpretations and emotions. In a globally interconnected, culturally diverse, and increasingly complex world, contemporary artists give voice to the varied and changing cultural landscape of identities, values, and beliefs. Their work is always at the crossroad of theory, subjects, concepts, methods, and materials. The increasing role of audiences can generate unexpected results that can benefit both individuals and communities.
In this workshop, we will study the conceptual, practical, ethical, legal, and financial elements to consider when working with contemporary artists. We will also examine many successful (and a few unfortunate) examples that will help us to understand how art, according to Yoko Ono, makes us “walk a half an inch above ground."

Evolution Evolving: Mechanistic Origins of Evolvability (November 17, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/101336 101336-21801234@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 17, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Complex Systems Advanced Academic Workshop (CSAAW)

To thrive in a changing world, evolving populations must be able to generate variants adapted to future environments. In one environmental state, however, there is no direct selection pressure on a population to make adaptive variation more accessible. Whether natural selection can drive evolving organisms to manifest this adaptive variation, and become more evolvable, is widely debated. Using a simple instance of evolution, we show that evolvability is favoured when a population evolves in a changing environment. We also highlight a novel mechanism through which populations evolve to access relatively higher amounts of adaptive variation under these conditions. This mechanism is not sufficiently explained by natural selection but is rather a combination of deterministic selection dynamics and stochastic search of the genotype space during evolution. Thus, we demonstrate that evolvability can and does evolve, and could play an important role in the adaptation of living systems to a changing environment.

DIY Digital Scholarship: Timeline JS (November 18, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100624 100624-21800155@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 18, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Technology Services

In this DIY Digital Scholarship workshop, we will be discussing how to make timelines using Knight Lab’s Timeline JS. Timeline JS is an open-source and no-cost tool that builds interactive timelines with a range of media using nothing more than a Google Spreadsheet. The timelines can be shared by a direct link or embedded in web pages. This introduction to Timeline JS will be a hands-on workshop and participants will create a timeline using images, audio, and video. Furthermore, this workshop will provide best practices for accessibility, writing for the public, and including Timeline JS in the classroom. No previous experience is needed for this workshop but participants should have access to a Google account and Google Drive. Media and materials for the timeline creation will be provided.

A Zoom link will be emailed to participants before the workshop.

Workshop Series:

This workshop series tackles the question, what would your digital scholarship be if you were an independent scholar or no longer affiliated with the University of Michigan. What tools and platforms can you use to do your research or publication with a computer and an Internet connection? The different workshops in this series will cover learning skills and techniques to communicate information, ideas, and interpretations in a digital format with open access lightweight, portable technologies. Each workshop will focus on a different tool that has no direct cost to users and is straightforward to take with you if/when your affiliation with the university ends. DIY, or “do it yourself” for this workshop means that the tools covered have an emphasis on “making” or “crafting,” independence, and are no-to-low cost. Furthermore, while we are using DIY to describe these tools, there are elements of DIT (do it together) and all these tools have a large supportive community with comprehensive documentation and user guides. Often learning these tools can make you a more adaptable and flexible digital scholarship researcher, and allow you to pick new tools more quickly. This series of hands-on workshops are compatible with and complementary to the DS101 workshop series.

IISS Book Workshop. God's Property: Islam, Charity, and the Modern State (December 1, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/101487 101487-21801435@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 1, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

Up to the twentieth century, Islamic charitable endowments provided the material foundation of the Muslim world. In Lebanon, with the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the imposition of French colonial rule, many of these endowments reverted to private property circulating in the marketplace. In contemporary Beirut, however, charitable endowments have resurfaced as mosques, Islamic centers, and nonprofit organizations. A historical anthropology in dialogue with Islamic law, God's Property demonstrates how these endowments have been drawn into secular logics—no longer the property of God but of the Muslim community—and shaped by the modern state and modern understandings of charity and property. Although these transformations have produced new kinds of loyalties and new ways of being in society, Moumtaz’s ethnography reveals the furtive persistence of endowment practices that perpetuate older ways of thinking of one’s self and one’s responsibilities toward family and state.

Attendees are encouraged to read the introduction prior to the event. Limited copies of the book are available on the 5th floor of Weiser Hall, suite 500. An open-access ebook is also available here: https://luminosoa.org/site/books/m/10.1525/luminos.100/.

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.

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.

RSVP here: http://bit.ly/WLDecember22

Our aim is to bring liberals, conservatives, libertarians- everyone across the political spectrum- together for constructive conversation. The goal of WeListen discussions is not to debate or argue, but to understand the views and values of others and to learn from their perspectives. The session will begin with a brief content presentation to provide a basic understanding of the topic. No specific level of knowledge is required to participate in WeListen discussions.

By participating in WeListen sessions, staff members will:
- Expand understanding of a prominent political topic
- Practice discussing difficult topics with others,
- Gain openness to new ideas and perspectives,
- Learn to productively challenge an idea, and
- Form a sense of community among fellow staff members.

Data, what is it, how and why is it managed, and why do granting agencies care? In this workshop we will talk about what counts as “data” from various definitions, including the National Endowment for the Humanities. Participants will go over the ethical concerns and considerations covered and answered by a data management plan, as well as the practical skills needed in developing and writing a data management plan. This workshop will cover topics such as collection and storage, consent agreements, and contingencies for sensitive information and data. At the end of the workshop, participants will understand how data management plans can help protect and archive their research, help with the IRB process, and contribute significantly to the sustainability of their project.

A Zoom link will be emailed on hour before the workshop.

Digital Scholarship 101: Workshop Series
This series of workshops helps scholars avoid outdated projects, unpreserved knowledge, uncredited labor, and privacy or consent issues by emphasizing process in the project life cycle. Workshop participants learn how to conceptualize the life cycle of a project using human-centered design and backwards modelling when planning their projects to better understand how to version, archive, and preserve their research projects. Throughout the series, thematic questions around sustainability, preservation, accessibility, privacy, consent, grant requirements, and teaching with research will be examined. We encourage you to come with a project in mind and bring materials if available, but is not required to attend.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Educational Outreach

As stewards of transition, we look to arm incoming students with the hope and promise of a better future through higher education. Why then, does that process create such challenges for the students and for the helpers themselves? In this webinar, we will explore the common vulnerabilities in both students and educators that most miss when undertaking the awesome task of guiding youth through the milestones of life. While the goal stays focused on how best to support the students, the process of supporting and protecting yourself comes first.

Mark Talaga has been counseling gifted individuals for over 10 years and is the owner and director of the Center for Identity Potential. Mark's experience with gifted counseling began in 2012 under the mentorship of Andy Mahoney, a pioneer and expert in the field of counseling the gifted. Mark is a former video game professional who utilizes his knowledge of gaming and technology to create a strong relationship with many of the kids with whom he works. Through his own personal struggle with executive functioning, validating his giftedness, and finding purpose and meaning in this world, Mark has developed expertise in the education and skills necessary to help gifted children activate their potential and live more authentic, fulfilling lives.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Technology Services

You’ve heard about “accessibility,” but do you know what it means for your project? This workshop will teach you how to make your project — both its products and processes — accessible to all. You will learn principles, standards, and techniques for developing digital projects that are equitably accessible to people with a range of abilities/disabilities, technologies, and backgrounds. For grants that require projects to meet accessibility guidelines, you will learn to develop an accessibility plan for applications. As a result of this workshop, participants will understand how and why accessibility matters in digital projects, and will have resources to use and refer back to as projects progress.

Note: This workshop will be held on Zoom. You will receive a reminder and a Zoom link one hour before the workshop.

About the Digital Scholarship 101 workshop series:
This series of workshops helps scholars avoid outdated projects, unpreserved knowledge, uncredited labor, and privacy or consent issues by emphasizing process in the project life cycle. Workshop participants learn how to conceptualize the life cycle of a project using human-centered design and backwards modelling when planning their projects to better understand how to version, archive, and preserve their research projects. Throughout the series, thematic questions around sustainability, preservation, accessibility, privacy, consent, grant requirements, and teaching with research will be examined. We encourage you to come with a project in mind and bring materials if available, but is not required to attend.
