SUMMARY:Lactation at Work: Expressing Milk\, Expressed Concern\, and the Expressive Value of Law
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Elizabeth Hoffman\, a sociologist from Purdue University\, will present findings from her research on employed mothers. She notes that\, as women entered the US workforce in increasing numbers\, they faced the conundrum of how to maintain breastfeeding and hold down full-time jobs. In 2010\, the Lactation at Work Law (an amendment to the US Fair Labor Standards Act) mandated accommodations for lactating women. Professor Hoffmann’s talk will examine the federal law and its state-level equivalent in Indiana\, drawing on two waves of interviews with human resource personnel\, supervising managers\, and lactating workers. In many ways\, this simple law — requiring break time and privacy for pumping — is a success story. Through advocacy by allies\, education of managers\, and employee initiative\, many organizations created compliant accommodations.  However\, Professor Hoffmann will also challenge the perceived success of the law as truly family-friendly or pro-woman.

SUMMARY:Careers in Neuropsychology
DESCRIPTION:What is neuropsychology? This event will explain the field and the professional jobs available.  We will explore the career pathways into clinical neuropsychology which will require a graduate degree. These professionals work directly with clients and patients to provide evaluation of neurobehavioral disorders or to research brain-behavior relationships. Careers in forensic psychology\, which also require a graduate degree\, will also be discussed. We will also explore options in psychometrics which involves the administration of various tests that are used by the mental health providers and clinicians. Jobs in psychometrics are available with just a bachelor’s degree. \nThis career planning event is free but registration is required. https://app.joinhandshake.com/stu/events/1478625 \nSpeakers include: \nDr. Sara Swanson\, Chief of Neuropsychology\, Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin \nDr. Eric Larson\, Associate Professor\, Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine\, The Medical College of Wisconsin \nMary Kate Reamer\, Lead Psychometrist\, Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin

SUMMARY:The Two-Parent Privilege: How Americans Stopped Getting Married and Started Falling Behind
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Melissa Kearney. Kearney is a renowned economist\, specializing in issues related to social policy\, poverty\, and inequality. She presents a data-driven argument for the importance of marriage in addressing economic challenges in the United States\, drawing on over a decade of economic research to demonstrate that households with two married parents\, while still prevalent among the upper class\, have become increasingly rare among other socioeconomic groups\, contributing to inequality and limiting opportunities for certain children. \nMelissa S. Kearney is the Neil Moskowitz Professor of Economics at the University of Maryland. She is also Director of the Aspen Economic Strategy Group; a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); and a non-resident Senior Fellow at Brookings and has testified before Congress on income inequality. \nThis event is free and open to the public but a ticket is required. Reserve your spot at uwm.universitytickets.com (Linkable URL below) \nSponsored by the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership in partnership with UWM’s Department of Economics and the Student Union.

SUMMARY:Combinatorial Resolutions of Monomial Ideals
DESCRIPTION:Department of Mathematical Sciences Colloquium presented by Dr. Selvi Kara\, Bryn Mawr College. \nOne of the central problems in commutative algebra concerns understanding the structure of an ideal in a polynomial ring. Abstractly\, an ideal’s structure can be expressed through an object called its minimal resolution\, but there is no explicit method to obtain a minimal resolution in general\, even for the simpler and fundamental class known as monomial ideals. \nIn this talk\, we will focus on resolutions of monomial ideals. In particular\, I will introduce a new combinatorial method that provides a resolution of any monomial ideal using tools from discrete Morse theory.

SUMMARY:Examining the urban microclimate effects on urban building energy uses in the city of Milwaukee
DESCRIPTION:Dissertation proposal presentation of Lulu Liu: Over-concentrated urban buildings and energy consumption have become one of the major reasons for the environmental deterioration in urban areas and can directly or indirectly cause urban microclimate changes. Energy consumption in urban areas has shown a rapid growth trend\, and reducing the intensity of energy consumption in urban areas has attracted the attention of many scholars. Examining the impact of different spatiotemporal climate factors on energy consumption from the perspective of urban microclimate and their spatial patterns may provide valuable policy implications on urban building energy consumption. This study has three primary goals\, including 1) estimating building energy consumption of the City of Milwaukee\, WI using historical and future weather data\, and verifying the accuracy of future energy demand predictions by comparing them to historical energy use data.; 2) examining the impact of microclimate factors on urban building energy consumption through correlation analysis and regression analysis on building and city scales; and 3) mapping future energy consumption demands over 30 years to visualize spatial and temporal differences.

SUMMARY:Integrating social\, environmental and mobility factors in studying violence in the city of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Dissertation proposal presentation of Matthias Schilli: Violence has been studied as a social and public health issue for a long time. We investigate the violence in the City of Chicago by integrating social\, environmental\, and mobility factors in spatial statistical models. The social determinants will be based on a large number of social variables. The environmental criminological factors will be based on the Points of Interest (POI) data that provides information on the density and proximity of human activity convergence. The human mobility pattern in the city will be considered. The spatial and temporal patterns of violence in the city will be studied first\, and then all the factors will be integrated into spatial statistical models to understand how they contribute to the violence variation in the city. It is expected that this study can contribute to a more integrative approach than the public health and spatial criminological approaches to violence prevention.

SUMMARY:What’s Next? A Community Story Circle
DESCRIPTION:Part of the “Growing Resistance: Untold Stories of Milwaukee’s Community Guardians” exhibit currently showing at the Brooks Stevens Gallery at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD)\, Community guardians are common folks—homeowners\, renters\, block leaders\, elders\, and civic minded youth who make a positive impact in their neighborhoods.  The exhibition  and its affiliated events showcase voices of resistance and stories of resilience from Milwaukee’s most historically underrepresented neighborhoods. The gallery hosts student-guided tours every Friday at 11:15 am through March 2nd. \nThe event on March 2nd is at the Milwaukee Public Library\, Washington Park Branch (2121 N Sherman Blvd) and is free. Join us to share stories\, connect as a community\, and help shape our next steps. \nRegistration is required at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/whats-next-a-community-story-circle-tickets-777223074137?aff=oddtdtcreator \nThe project is funded by Wisconsin Humanities (grant to UWM)\, Wisconsin Arts Board (grant to MSOE) and MIAD.
