The challenge: New data and approaches to study complexity in the social world has often been without a concurrent focus on the foundations of scientific inquiry, including complex thinking, broad causal thinking, attention to epistemic lens, and integrating multiple disciplinary approaches. Further, the academic research model, with its resource-segregated networks, discipline-specific training, and short-term productivity metrics, contributes to a fragmented and potentially misleading understanding of the social world. In the second annual ISR Symposium on Complexity in the Social World, we will use ‘place’ as the case study to facilitate discussions on rigorous social science in the public interest.
Using research on place as the case study, discussion topics will include:

Complex thinking about the social worldThe contribution of the humanities the study of the social worldEpistemic lens and research transparencyTheories, frameworks, and the limits of traditional causal inferenceThe draw and danger of cool new dataAddressing the challenges of the academic model of science
Presentations on the science of place will include:

The relational nature of place in population social inequalitiesThe role of history in shaping placeThe racialization of place; the spatialization of racePlace as a neutral and rational driver of social inequalitiesApproaches to testing (causal) ideas around place

*Please bring an issue or a work process that you want to make better. During the course, you will have a chance to use what you’re learning to tackle your specific issue.

Description:
This session focuses on the early stages of working with data, when a dataset is large, complex, poorly documented, or unfamiliar. Participants will use AI to interpret data dictionaries, surface undocumented assumptions, and assess whether a dataset can answer their research question. They will also learn how to determine which AI tools they are permitted to use with a given dataset, since research data frequently carries terms of use that restrict AI tools. Participant exercises use a public-domain dataset and U-M's own AI services.
- ICPSR policy on the use of large language models: https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/sites/icpsr/about/policies/large-language-models-and-ai
- ICPSR redistribution policy: https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/sites/icpsr/about/policies/redistribution
- Using AI with MIDUS, NSHAP, Add Health and other NACDA-hosted data: https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/sites/icpsr/news/using-ai-with-midus-nshap-add-health-and-other-nacda-hosted-data
- U-M guidance on AI and U-M data: https://safecomputing.umich.edu/protect-the-u/safely-use-sensitive-data/AI-and-UM-Data
- U-M generative AI services: https://genai.umich.edu/
- ACS PUMS documentation: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/microdata/documentation.html
Possible hands-on activities:
- Determine which tier of AI tool you may use with a dataset you are currently working with, and where to check
- Translate a cryptic codebook into plain language, with the model flagging what it cannot determine instead of guessing
- Extract documentation into a structured format that records, field by field, what the model could not determine from the documentation alone
- Generate a fitness-for-purpose checklist against your own research question, and draft specific questions to send a data provider

Before the session:
1. All attendees please bring a laptop.
2. Sign in at genai.umich.edu to make sure your U-M GPT access is working. We'll use it for all hands-on exercises.
3. Come with a research question you're working on, and the name of a dataset you're using or considering for it. If the dataset has a data use agreement or terms of use page, have the link handy. Please don't plan to upload your own data during the session. We'll use a public dataset for the exercises, and part of the session covers how to check which AI tools you're permitted to use with your own data.

This speaker series is designed to encourage the campus community to think – and talk with one another – about what it means to develop an informed opinion and stand your ground when challenged; and about changing your mind in light of new evidence, different perspectives, and serious reflection. In our Fall 2026 installment we take up the topic of the university itself at a time when its value and values have come under attack amidst calls for reform.


In University: A Reckoning, Lee C. Bollinger, president emeritus of the University of Michigan and Columbia University, offers a bold defense of institutions of higher education as an essential source of truth-seeking in diverse democratic societies. "The university must be defended," he argues, "if the American experiment is to continue." Drawing from his new book and from decades as an academic leader Bollinger will explore the challenges facing higher education today and what universities can and should do to insure the conditions necessary for open inquiry and meaningful intellectual exchange.


Join us in-person or via livestream for a keynote, followed by a moderated conversation and audience Q&A, with a reception afterward offering an opportunity to continue the discussion with fellow members of the university community. Demetri Morgan, associate professor in the Marsal Family School and Faculty Director for the Life Changing Education Theme Year will serve as moderator; the event will be introduced by Martha Pollack, former president of Cornell and former provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at the U-M.

The first 100 in-person registrants will be placed in a lottery for a complimentary copy of the book, University: A Reckoning.

Supply chains are the backbone of the global economy. While the fragility, geography, and organization of global production networks are at the forefront of supply chain discourse, the people who make and study consumers’ products are often forgotten. Women especially play a critical role in the production of goods and services and global procurement.

The Women in Supply Chains (WiSC) Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop (RIW) was created to understand these issues and create a space for graduate students interested in the intersection between gender and supply chains. WiSC researches gender disparities in supply chain scholarship and practice to advance awareness and pursue more equitable outcomes. We seek to bring together an interdisciplinary group to collaborate on topics related to our three research pillars: 1) supply chain discourse and governance, 2) supply chain gender inequities, and 3) barriers to equitable supply chain research and practice. Our interdisciplinary approach addresses the intersections of gender, power asymmetries, and economic exploitation in global production networks. Recent industry research shows that progress on gender representation in supply chains has stalled, demonstrating a need for sustained academic engagement (2024 Women in Supply Chain Survey Report | Gartner).

Research questions we plan to explore include:
To what extent do supply chain theory and discourse rely on or reinforce patriarchal values?What gender-based inequities and power asymmetries exist in global production networks? How can supply chain stakeholders mitigate these inequitiesWhat barriers do gender-marginalized individuals face as supply chain scholars or practitioners? How can we build community for people who work in supply chains?

We plan to hold monthly events (approximately 1 hour) on a consistent day of the week (based on the availability of participants/guest speakers). We also plan to attend and promote events on campus (e.g., speakers, lectures) as they relate to gender and supply chains. Planned events include hands-on activities and treks, including a book club and a manufacturing site tour. Graduate students from all disciplines and gender identities are invited to attend.
