We are conducting a population-based case-control study in the City of Philadelphia to investigate how the nature and whereabouts of adolescents’ daily activities relate to the likelihood of being shot in an assault. Each subject is interviewed using portable, computerized mapping technology, to create a dynamic graphic that provides a minute-by-minute record of how, when, where, and with whom the subject spent time over the course of the past 24 hours as he or she walked or otherwise traveled from location to location and activity to activity. Afterward, characteristics of streets, buildings, and neighborhood populations are linked into each subjects’ space-time activity path. The ultimate goal is to inform communities of place-based risk factors and to identify opportunities to make communities safer. Implications of the methodologic approaches to this innovative space-time analysis will be presented.

IU Archives of African American Music and Culture Director Tyron Cooper has an insider’s view of Black music and the culture behind it, much of which goes back to the Black church.
He says that’s part of what makes AAAMC different: it looks at the broad context and origins of Black music, and makes it accessible for both scholarship and casual listening.
Cooper joins Dean Shanahan on Through the Gates to tell us more about the archives and share AAAMC Speaks, a documentary series hosted by the archives in partnership with the Office of the Provost.
The series brings the archives alive in a series of interviews with industry executives and performers in various genres of Black music. The first episode on Eddie Gilreath shows one of the first Black professionals to work at the executive level in the music industry.
Coming up are features on AAAMC founding director Dr. Portia Maultsby and the foundational jazz musician Reggie Workman.

Discusses in detail the most common types of abortion procedures, aimed particularly at the woman who has already made the decision to have an abortion. Focuses on the need for post-abortion follow-up with the doctor, especially for contraceptive advice.
The recent Supreme Court decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson resulted in the overturning of Roe v. Wade, ending the constitutional right of a pregnant person to choose to have an abortion until fetal viability (i.e., until about 24 weeks). Although this ruling marks a significant shift in abortion policy and climate in the U.S., the vast majority of polls measuring abortion attitudes show that there has been little change in attitudes since the 1970s. What does that mean about the relationship between policy and public opinion and how we measure abortion attitudes? In this workshop, we will provide an overview of abortion as a contentious social issue, historical trends of abortion attitudes, and the implications of the Dobbs v. Jackson decision. Next, we will share an overview of our project: Developing and Assessing Measures for Social Surveys (DAMSS). Then we will present some of our preliminary findings and discuss what makes a “good” question actually a “bad” question? We will conclude with what these preliminary findings mean for how we assess abortion attitudes and what the DAMSS project will be doing next. No previous experience with abortion attitudes is needed. Although the focus of this presentation will be abortion attitudes, the findings and methodology have relevance for other social issues.

Summary:
Working in public, and with the public, can enable scholars to build vital, sustainable research communities, both within their fields, with other scholars in different fields, and with folks off-campus who care about the kinds of work that we do. By finding ways to connect with a broad range of publics, in a range of different registers, and in ways that allow for meaningful response, we can create the possibilities for far more substantial public participation in and engagement with the humanities, and with the academy more broadly. This workshop will focus on ways of envisioning the publics with whom we work and the questions that public engagement surfaces.

Geometric slashes of white accent a spattered abstract image of yellows, golds and blues. In the foreground an animated wire swings in a narrow arc. In the audio, a mixture of indistinct, abstracted voices provides a background for the sound of a single snare drum – the audio mirrors the video. A final element of graffiti text carries implications of (perhaps) narrative, commentary, character, causality – or nothing at all. –Michael Lasater

Analyzes advertising in twentieth century America, and its dual function as mirror and molder of our culture. Demonstrates that admen have long been fluent with the familiar slogan, jingle, testimonial, and doctor's endorsement--by which values and dreams, rather than commodities, are made the fare of public consumption. Reminds us that we must guard against the temptation to make advertising the scapegoat for our own materialism, for admen can erect and support only the images that society tacitly permits.
This week, we’ll hear from Michael Adams, Provost Professor of English at Indiana University, and author of “In Praise of Profanity” (Oxford University Press, 2016).
Adams sees “In Praise of Profanity” as a continuation of 2009’s “Slang: The People’s Poetry.” In it, he argues that profanity is not only oversimplified as being taboo, it is also valuable and essential as a vehicle of communication and an element of style.
Adams is an English language historian and a frequent contributor to various dictionaries and academic journals. Though his published articles often explore arcane aspects of language, he also writes books aimed at broader audiences. They include “Slayer Slang: A ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Lexicon” and “From Elvish to Klingon: Exploring Invented Languages.”

As a Senior Faculty Fellow with IDAH, Prof. Justin Bailey of the Eskenazi School is continuing his investigation of materials, cutting, and assembly methods in producing hosohedra-based forms used to create functional design objects. Fundamental to Bailey’s study of form is the ability to digitally sculpt and manipulate forms to incorporate subtle shifts and irregularities, releasing the form of functional objects from rigid geometries often used. To accomplish this for ranges of series and small batch productions, Bailey employs drafting algorithms based on geometries used to create 3D form, flatten into 2d machinable linework, and build on connection methods explored for a range of materials. This particular series of iterations looks at integrations of perforation, transparency, and pliability in wood veneer, steel, and aluminum with PLA 3d printed fasteners.
