In many human and environmental crises, individuals and their governments exhibit a morally troubling response to the risk of mass casualties that can be described by the phrase “the more who die, the less we care,” reflecting a flawed “arithmetic of compassion.” Paul Slovic will present research demonstrating three non-rational psychological mechanisms that underlie this phenomenon: psychic numbing, pseudoinefficacy, and the prominence effect. After documenting these obstacles to rational decision making, he will explore ways to counteract them -- a roadmap for future research and its application to crisis management.
Studies of risk perception examine the judgments people make when they are asked to characterize and evaluate hazardous activities and technologies. This research aims to aid risk analysis and policymaking by (i) providing a basis for understanding and anticipating public responses to hazards and (ii) improving the communication of risk information among lay people, technical experts, and decision makers. This work assumes that those who promote and regulate health and safety need to understand how people think about and respond to risk. Without such understanding, well-intended policies may be ineffective. Among the questions the lecturer will address are: How do people think about risk? What factors determine the perception of risk and the acceptance of risk? What role do emotion and reason play in risk perception? What are some of the social and economic implications of risk perceptions? Along the way, he will address such topics as the subjective and value-laden nature of risk assessment; the multidimensionality of risk; sex, politics, and emotion in risk judgments; risk and trust; and risk perception and terrorism.
“I mean, you know, people 40 years ago were locked in isolated areas,” describes Randy Krieble of restraints used in institutions. “The ammonia sprays were used especially in the children’s unit,” explains Sue Beecher. Professionals in the field of disabilities talk about the physical, chemical and medical restraints used in the state institutions in the 1970s until their closures.
Contemporary qualitative research often involves teams of researchers collaborating on a project. Armstrong will discuss the pleasures and challenges of this style of research, drawing both on her experiences working with Indiana University sociology alum Laura Hamilton and a team of graduate and undergraduate researchers on Paying for the Party and her more recent experiences at the University of Michigan. Larger teams can collect more data and leverage the diverse social identities of researchers to gain entree to research sites and participants. Collaboration can also add rigor to data analysis, as classifications and interpretations are debated by the research team. However, collaboration introduces challenges of coordination at all stages of the process. These challenges grow with the size of the research team. In addition, the temptation to collect large volumes of data creates risks that the principal investigator may fall into the role of administrator rather than fieldworker and may lose touch with the data. Goffman argued for full immersion in the field and saw the ethnographer's embodied reactions as invaluable. This embodied knowledge can not easily inform the final product if the person who participated in the ethnographic or interview interactions is not the one doing the writing.
<p>"If you've ever seen the movie 'Forrest Gump', my mom was kind of like Forrest's mom." Andy was born with cerebral palsy in 1979, but his mom made sure he had the same opportunities as a child without disabilities. In the 1980s, Andy was mainstreamed into school in the first grade. After graduating high school in 1988, Andy attended Vincennes University. He changed majors a few times before landing in the technology field.</p><p>In 2005, Andy got his start in comedy. He went to a comedy club and tried his hand at the open mic. He discovered he was good at making people laugh. Now, Andy gets bookings at comedy clubs around Indiana. Andy says, “Just because I have a disability doesn’t mean I can’t be funny, you know.” Andy was interviewed in 2016.</p><p><a style="font-size: 1em;" href="https://www.indianadisabilityhistory.org/items/show/170" target="_top">Read Andy Imlay interview transcript.</a></p>
"She shouldn't have to be put on a bus and spend 45 minutes on a bus one way to go to school," explains Pat Howey of her daughter's experience at six years old being sent to a school for children with physical disabilities. Pat discusses her educational advocacy for her daughter in the late 1980s in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, sharing how those experiences lead her to become a nationally known special education advocate and consultant. Pat was interviewed in Indianapolis in 2016.
How might we conceptualize "the digital” as a kind of mediation that articulates the time and space of diasporic experience? In answer, Parham's talk will explore rememory, affective excess, and glitch aesthetics in Toni Morrison’s Beloved, Hiro Murai’s video for Flying Lotus & Kendrick Lamar’s “Never Catch Me,” and Zun Lee’s digital project, “Fade Resistance.

Second lecture in the Leo J. McCarthy, MD History of Medicine Lectureship. Presented by Lawrence H. Einhorn, MD at the Ruth Lilly Medical Library on November 18, 2016.
"Let's wait and see what he can do," is what doctors told Sharon after the birth of her son in the 1980s. Fortunately, Sharon didn't wait around. She searched out services for him and as he got older, she continued to advocate for him by enrolling him in a community preschool. There have been many struggles and triumphs over the years, but today Sharon's son is a college graduate with an interest computers.
Textual analytics creates opportunities to ask new questions or test existing theories through a new lens. The HathiTrust (HT) collection can be considered one of the largest academic libraries in the US. How can a researcher unlock many insights of this digital library? What kinds of social science questions it can help to address? The HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) has been developing computational tools to leverage the HathiTrust collection and its metadata. In this presentation we will provide an overview of the HathiTrust digital library and the suite of tools from the HTRC and invite participants to think creatively about how a corpus of ~14 billion volumes of text can be useful to them.

This talk will explore how network framework allows us to reveal hidden patterns in social and cultural data, by examining networks in food, history, online communities, and industry.
Over 2 billion people now own smartphones, which are actually sophisticated mobile computing devices that can run applications, take photos, access the internet, and collect GPS, motion, and other sensor data. Many people use these devices to access online social media sites, which have also exploded in popularity over the last few years. For example, *each day* over 1 billion people log in to Facebook, and collectively upload about 350 million photos and share nearly 5 billion status updates and other pieces of content. As people use their digital devices and services, they are (without necessarily realizing it) leaving behind "digital footprints" about themselves and their behavior, including the things they "like", the people they communicate with, the places they visit, the photos they take, and so on. This is creating huge datasets about the world and human behavior, that could potentially be used to aid studies in a range of scientific disciplines. In this talk, I'll give a high-level overview of some of our recent work that has used mobile devices and online social media to collaborate with studies in sociology, psychology, and ecology. I'll talk about some of the advantages and disadvantages of this type of analysis, including the many sources of potential bias, and very real concerns about privacy.
As the need to manage and provide access to collections of digital content grows, the ecosystem of software solutions designed to meet these needs has greatly expanded. Into this pool of software comes Avalon, but what exactly does it do, and do differently, from applications like Sufia or Islandora? Developed in partnership with Northwestern University, the Avalon Media System is an open source system for managing and providing access to large collections of digital audio and video. Used for library services such as Media Collections Online and projects such as IU's Media Digitization and Preservation Initiative, Avalon is an application that provides a robust set of features related to media access and streaming. Come learn how Avalon's focus on web-based access to audio and video materials is developed to meet the needs of both consumers and stewards of digital collections, as well as the unique role it plays in the world of digital repository software.
This introductory workshop will give an overview of how to identify what types of data analysis tools to use for a project, along with basic “DIY” instructions. We will discuss the most common analysis tools for describing your data and performing significance tests (ANOVA, Regression, Correlation, Chi-square, etc), and how they should be selected based on the type of data and the type of research question you have. This is geared towards students or faculty beginning their foray into quantitative analysis of research data, or those who have been around but would like to step back and get a framework for how to navigate basic statistical methods.
“I remember her having a lot of apprehension,” recalls Patrick Sandy of a meeting with a mother on why her son could succeed in supported employment. When her son was born, physicians told her to put him in an institution and forget about him. Now, Patrick was trying to explain to her why supported employment would be a great thing. He promised the mother her son could return to the workshop if it did not work out. It took a while, but the son found a job. The employer told Patrick, “I don’t know how we did what we do before he was here.” <br/>Patrick was President/CEO of Easterseals Crossroads in Indianapolis when he was interviewed in 2016.
As part of the 2016 Themester Beauty, the Archives of African American Music and Culture (AAAMC) hosted a presentation and panel discussion event in the Grand Hall of the Neal Marshall Black Culture Center. Comprised of IUB faculty members from the departments of Folklore and Ethnomusicology and African American and African Diaspora Studies, as well as a distinguished scholar and guest speaker Deborah Smith Pollard from Michigan State University, the panel explored concepts of beauty in music from two distinct, though related perspectives. Representations of gendered body images, male and female, served as one area of focus, while the second topic explored the body of aesthetic values which distinguish African American performance in ways which not only contrast, but often contradict those preferred by the larger American public.
Karen Scherer began her career as a work adjustment specialist at Morgan County Rehabilitation Center in Martinsville, Indiana. She was soon asked to serve as the coordinator for the supported employment grant received by the center in 1986. <br/>In this video, Karen talks about her experiences helping people with disabilities find jobs in their communities, and how the techniques of employment specialists changed after the introduction of supported employment and the passing of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act.
The supported employment movement, an initiative to expand the opportunities for people with disabilities to find work in their own communities through vocational rehabilitation and ongoing job coaching, began spreading across the United States following the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1978.<br/>In this video, Connie Ferrell, Suellen Jackson-Boner, and Patrick Sandy, three administrative pioneers of supported employment in Indiana in the 1980s, discuss some of the triumphs and challenges they faced in the early days of the movement.

“I was like 21 and decided to set down and write a book,” says Melissa. Ever since she was a young child in Lafayette, Indiana, Melissa wanted to write a book about how we are all different in some way or another. Her book is called, “Follow Your Dreams”. Melissa writes about being bullied in school in the 1990s, but she never gave up. She had one high school teacher tell her she would not amount to anything. When Melissa published her book, she visited her high school teacher and said, “See, I wrote a book. I amount to something.” Melissa was interviewed in 2013.
