We provide opportunities to discuss and learn how you can partner with Rackham and what Rackham resources you can rely on while carrying out the work of your role.

Description: Many scientists use AI coding tools through a browser — copying and pasting between chat and editor. Agentic tools like Claude Code work differently: they run on your machine, read your project, execute your code, and iterate on errors. This hands-on tutorial covers the pros and cons of using a coding agent and how to begin using Claude Code as an R programmer. We'll look at potential use cases of coding agents for data analysis, improving code reproducibility, and tightening the loop between code outputs and manuscript writing.

Hands-on activities:
Optionally, if you'd like to participate in hands-on exercises in the session, you may wish to purchase a Claude Code plan ($20 for a month of access) and have Claude installed on your computer. However, you may also come without doing this, or with a different agent (like OpenAI's Codex or an open-source tool of your choice)

Reminder: All attendees, please bring a laptop.

Join us for a virtual information session to learn more about our PhD program and the application process.

What does it mean for a city to be "smart"? Smart as a City draws on ethnographic fieldwork in Kansas City, Missouri, where Google piloted a citywide gigabit network and city officials launched several smart city projects in the 2010s. Through cases including public-housing residents’ quiet refusal of “free” gigabit internet, the city’s turn to predictive analytics that largely confirmed the obvious, and public–private strategies for managing failure without naming it, the book reframes test-bed urbanism as a mode of local governance that works through civic aspiration, deliberate ignorance, and municipal politics. It argues that urban disparities are not an unintended consequence of the smart city; they are the foundation upon which it is built.

This event is in partnership with the Urban Tech Collective (UTC) at the University of Michigan’s Digital Studies Institute. UTC convenes U-M faculty and students from various disciplines investigating the imaginaries, design, and use of digital technologies within urban everyday life. UTC investigates topics related to physical and digital spaces; mediated representations of urban space and urban communities; digital rights and inequalities; datafication; urban intelligences; and social change. The collective meets throughout the academic year to share research, methodologies, and best practices for the study of technology and urban life, to host speakers, and reimagine the role of urban technology scholarship, design, and policy in affecting more equitable, sustainable futures.


The DSI Reading Room is a conversation series featuring new books by Digital Studies Institute faculty and guest authors. Through public discussions, we explore emerging scholarship and the ideas shaping technology, culture, media, and society.

Burcu Baykurt is an Associate Professor of Media Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her research explores how digital infrastructures reshape and perpetuate urban inequalities. She is the author of Smart as a City: The Politics of Test-Bed Urbanism and coeditor of Soft-Power Internationalism: Competing for Cultural Influence in the 21st-Century Global Order.

We strive to make our events accessible to all participants. This event will be a hybrid event with both a physical meeting space and an online meeting space.

CART will be provided. If you anticipate needing accommodations to participate, please email Eric Mancini at dsi-administration@umich.edu. Please note that some accommodations must be arranged in advance, and we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible.

First-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required, in-person, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!!
First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:

“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”

You only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training.

“I see that there is more than one session, does it matter which one I sign up for?”

It generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops.

“Is this workshop required?”

This workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.

“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.”

Our team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment, communication, and boundary setting. However, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”

Our workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles, including time for self-reflection, small group sharing, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive.

“Can I request accommodations?”

We considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions.

“I missed my workshop, what should I do ?”

Our team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule.

“I have had gender-based violence training before, can I get this requirement waived?”

As this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student.

“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student, do I still have to attend?"

Yes, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

Human rights are under pressure worldwide, and AI is increasingly part of both the problem and the solution. AI systems can help uncover abuses, expand access to services, support crisis response, and detect harmful patterns at scale. But they can also amplify surveillance, bias, disinformation, and exclusion. To develop solutions that are genuinely helpful and safe, we need collaboration among AI researchers, human rights practitioners, domain experts, and impacted communities.
In this workshop, we'll explore the points of interaction between AI and human rights challenges, and discuss how existing obstacles in human right solutions can inform new research directions in artificial intelligence. U(M) researchers will briefly present on current topics in AI and in human rights, followed by table discussions with domain experts in both human rights-related issues and AI. You are encouraged to bring your own topics, problems, and innovations to share with the group.
