CSDE Workshop -- Agent Based Modeling in R
Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology
This workshop will provide a basic introduction to Agent-Based Modeling (ABM). The workshop will be divided into three sections. During the first third of the course we will review and discuss the basic elements of ABMs and their applications in a variety of fields including demography, sociology, anthropology, political science and public health. In the second section of the course we will work through one or two seminal examples of ABMs and reproduce the models in base R. Due to the limited time available, the R code to build these models will be provided to participants in advance. Finally, we will walk through an example of a complex ABM using the statnet and EpiModel R packages. Students will not need these packages to complete the workshop.
By the end of the workshop participants will be able to describe the unique features of ABM that make them distinct from other modeling approaches, write R functions to produce a simple ABM, and be familiar with additional R packages that provide functionality for A…

Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology
Speaker: Dr. Bethany Gordon, Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Washington
Abstract: Dr. Gordon specializes in applications of behavioral science and psychology to improve design processes for a more equitable built environment. Her research also focuses on climate justice and addressing designer positionality (i.e. framing assumptions, stakeholder perspective-taking) in large-scale infrastructure design. Dr. Gordon's work aims to increase knowledge about how individuals or teams: 1) conceptualize collective identities in increasingly diverse spaces, 2) can overcome the environmental cues that restrict inclinations for equitable and resilient decision-making, and 3), can leverage climate adaptation to remediate past harms enacted by the built environment

A latent Markov model with two parallel processes for modeling inter-generational exchanges | UW CSSS SEMINAR
Center for Statistics and Social Sciences
Abstract:
In this paper, we model a type of dyadic data that provides information on inter-generational help exchanges in the UK. We use longitudinal data from five waves from 2011 to 2021 of the UK Household Longitudinal Survey (UKHLS) to study and explain associations between support exchanges between adult children and parents who do not live together. The questions analyzed here are from the family network module of the UKHLS. The survey respondents report exchanges of help from a child's perspective about a dyad. The dyad is defined as help from children to parents and received from parents. The data resemble the structure of dyadic data; they are collected across time and are also multivariate because the level of support is measured by multiple indicators (a set of eight binary indicators of different kinds of help that, in most cases, require the helper's time).
We propose a Hidden Markov cross-lagged joint model of bidirectional exchanges with support given and support received treated as…

Abstract: Existing scholarship finds that policymakers make efforts to “hide” homelessness by downplaying the issue and taking punitive action to conceal visible poverty from public view. However, since 2015, over a dozen cities, states, or jurisdictions along the West Coast have invoked formal emergency declarations that publicize the homelessness crisis. Whereas existing theories predict that state actors will talk about homelessness in individualizing terms and conflate it with crime, mental illness, and/ or substance abuse, state of emergency (SOE) declarations in Seattle and King County emphasized its roots in economic inequality, housing unaffordability, and federal disinvestment. Drawing on an extensive range of governmental archives, we trace the emergence of the declaration and the policy directions in its wake. In contrast to the structural framing of homelessness in the emergency declarations, we find that the attendant policies did not intervene on identified drivers of homelessness, such as…

Part of the Spring 2024 lineup of speakers for the Evans School Research Seminar Series. Dr. James M. Thomas, Department of Sociology, University of Mississippi
Dr. Thomas's research has been driven by questions within two interrelated fields of inquiry: histories of race and racism, and contemporary practices of race and racism. He employs a variety of interpretive methods to illuminate how meanings of race and racism arise within certain socio-cultural contexts, and how social actors reproduce and contest those meanings in everyday practices and encounters. Dr. Thomas has examined how institutions of higher learning implement diversity initiatives and where these efforts fall short. His most recent project examines whiteness amongst individuals in the American South. This new project seeks to bring into sharp relief the ambivalence, discomfort, and reflections around whiteness that are broadly missing in the sociological study of whiteness. There will be opportunities to meet with Dr. Thomas during his…

TALK | Oxana Shevel - Russia and Ukraine: Entangled Histories, Diverging States
REGISTRATION REQUIRED: Please register at https://bit.ly/42L6nfx
ABOUT THE LECTURE
In February 2022, Russian missiles rained on Ukrainian cities and tanks rolled towards Kyiv to end Ukrainian independent statehood. President Zelensky declined a western evacuation offer and rallied the army and citizens to defend Ukraine. What are the roots of this war which has devastated Ukraine, upended the international legal order, and brought back the spectre of nuclear escalation? How is it that these supposedly “brotherly peoples” became each other’s worst nightmare?
In Russia and Ukraine: Entangled Histories, Divergent States, Maria Popova and Oxana Shevel explain how over the last thirty years Russia and Ukraine diverged politically ending up on a catastrophic collision course. Russia slid back into authoritarianism and imperialism, while Ukraine consolidated a competitive political system and pro-European identity. As Ukraine built a democratic nation-state, Russia refused to accept it and came to see it as an…

CSDE Seminar - Patchwork Apartheid: Private Restriction, Racial Segregation, and Urban Inequality - Colin Gordon
Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology
Speaker: Colin Gordon, History, University of Iowa
Abstract: Drawing on a unique record of property restrictions excavated from local property records in five Midwestern counties, this research documents the prevalence of private property restriction in the era before zoning and building codes were widely employed and before federal redlining sanctioned the segregation of American cities and suburbs. This record of private restriction—documented and mapped to the parcel level in Greater Minneapolis, Greater St. Louis, and two Iowa counties—reveals the racial segregation process both on the ground, in the strategic deployment of restrictions throughout transitional central city neighborhoods and suburbs, and in the broader social and legal construction of racial categories and racial boundaries. Enforcement of private racial restrictions was held unconstitutional in 1948, and such agreements were prohibited outright in 1968. But their premises and assumptions, and the segregation they had accomplished, were…

Oliver Rollins is a qualitative sociologist who works on issues of race/racism in and through science and technology. Specifically, his research explores how racial identity, racialized discourses, and systemic practices of social difference influence, engage with and are affected by, the making and use of neuroscientific technologies and knowledges. Rollins’s book, Conviction: The Making and Unmaking of The Violent Brain (Stanford University Press, 2021), traces the development and use of neuroimaging research on anti-social behaviors and crime, with special attention to the limits of this controversial brain model when dealing with aspects of social difference, power, and inequality. Rollins’s current projects focus on 1) the social implications and challenges of operationalizing racial prejudice, implicit bias, and identity as neurobiological processes, and 2) the politics of social justice and (neuro)science, which aims to elucidate the socio-political vulnerabilities and anti-racist promises for…

TALK | Our Enemies will Vanish: The Russian Invasion and Ukraine's War of Independence with Yaroslav Trofimov
Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Yaroslav Trofimov has spent months on end at the heart of the conflict, very often on its front lines. In this authoritative account, he traces the war’s decisive moments—from the battle for Kyiv to more recently the gruelling and bloody arm wrestle involving the Wagner group over Bakhmut—to show how Ukraine and its allies have turned the tide against Russia, one of the world’s great military powers, in a modern-day battle of David and Goliath. Putin had intended to conquer and annex Ukraine with a vicious blitzkrieg, redrawing the map of Europe in a few short weeks with seismic geopolitical consequences. But in the face of this existential threat, the Ukrainian people fought back, turning what looked like certain defeat into a great moral victory, even as the territorial battle continues to seesaw to this day. This is the story of the epic bravery of the Ukrainian people—people Trofimov knows very well.
For Trofimov, this war is deeply personal. He grew up in…

Center for Statistics and Social Sciences
Abstract:
Large datasets sourced from administrative data represent an enticing advantage over primary data collection in research and evaluation. Whereas 25 years ago “administrative data” meant poring over large paper files, cheap computer storage makes records for thousands of observations readily available. To the extent that data entry is primary to the work of the institution, these records may accurately capture interactions, background characteristics, and even outcomes. They may not, however, provide this information in a way that can be readily entered into a statistical model. This presentation illustrates some of the learning that ensued when state records were brought to bear to evaluate a low-barrier treatment option for opioid use disorder.
