- Description:
- Michigan-Mellon’s renewed Egalitarian Metropolis cycle of funding focuses on the city of Detroit and ways that creative practice and the urban humanities can equitably address urban recovery. In tangible ways, The University of Michigan Architecture Preparatory Program (ArcPrep) is already doing just that: creating a sense of optimism and agency for Detroit public high school juniors interested in design and its affiliated fields. , Through an intensive, semester-long studio taught by our Mellon Fellows in Architecture, young designers learn to critically discern Detroit’s complex spatial histories as they explore ways to shape the city’s possible futures. The program takes the students’ talents, creativity, and expertise very seriously, nurturing an inclusionary pedagogical model based broadly on egalitarian educational ideals. In the process, we bring together a network of Taubman College faculty and students, Detroit institutions, community and government organizations, and professional enterprises into conversation and collaboration with students. In the past, ArcPrep has partnered with the Detroit Public Library, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Detroit Cultivator Community Land Trust, and the Sidewalk Festival, to name a few. With each partnership, we situated culturally contingent, place-based design exercises for students to directly engage with the city and its leaders., and More information about the Michigan Architecture Preparatory Program (ArcPrep) can be found at https://taubmancollege.umich.edu/academics/pre-college-programs/michigan-architecture-prep/

- The study that produced this corpus was conducted by a joint Task Force on Career Progression charged by the Association of University Presses and Society for Scholarly Publishing in January 2022, and strengthened by the addition of the Association of Learned Professional and Scholarly Publishers in 2023. The goal of the Career Progression Task Force’s job classification project was to develop a dataset of job descriptions that identify typical skills and responsibilities associated with various roles in publishing, analysing these descriptions to elucidate the skills and qualifications needed for the jobs and career advancement and disseminate the results in a way that is useful to employers and employees alike. The work of the Task Force was made possible by the doctoral internship program at the University of Michigan's Rackham Graduate School, which supported the involvement of Michelle Lam and Lauretta Cheng. The project also involved master’s degree students at George Washington University and the University of Michigan. and In total, the corpus contained 1089 unique job description texts. A wide range/variety of positions (n=666) across functional areas were represented in the corpus. The majority of the texts came from publicly available job postings. This form of text is created to advertise positions and is typically neither as detailed nor as objective as internal position descriptions, which were contributed either individually or as a group from a particular publisher.

- Description:
- The database was constructed by using the archived monthly newsletters of SPA and SPD. Duplicate job ads (those in both data sets and those posted over multiple months) were eliminated. The comma delimited raw data files of the job postings and the compilation of the numbers by year and job type and provided. A summary of the results is deposited in Deep Blue Documents.

- Description:
- As part of the Measurement of Agriculture Illuminating farm-Zone Emissions of N2O (MAIZE) project, in 2022 an aircraft platform sampled atmospheric concentrations of nitrous oxide (N2O) in the agriculture regions of Iowa. Vertical profiles were conducted on each flight to capture the vertical structure and mixing depths of the atmosphere. The data files contain the merged data for each individual flight day.

- Description:
- What does/can/should an egalitarian metropolis look like? And how does a focus on Detroit allow us to ask and answer these conceptual—and practical—questions in ways that draw on a variety of disciplines including architecture, history, urban planning, and the urban humanities?, This course offers an interdisciplinary perspective on urban studies, urban design, and the ways that concerns around social justice and equity can influence how we think about cities in the past, present, and future. Drawing on a range of faculty expertise in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts and Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, this team-taught course also incorporates the voices of practitioners and community members involved in current attempts to revitalize Detroit and “Detroit-like” cities in the United States and elsewhere. By “Detroit-like cities” we mean urban areas that have experienced negative population growth, deindustrialization, economic disinvestment, racial stratification, environmental injustices, and concomitant crises in housing, health care, policing, criminalization, and education. At the same time, Detroit and Detroit-like cities offer opportunities to conjoin critical humanistic inquiry, urban design, and policy solutions for building more equitable and sustainable cities., and This course is co-designed and co-taught as part of the Egalitarian Metropolis Project, which is a partnership between the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. It combines traditional course materials with a team-based orientation to teaching and learning.

- Description:
- Launched in response to the growing crisis of narrative infrastructure, the Detroit River Story Lab is a collaborative, public-facing initiative that leverages the sociocultural, economic, and ecological centrality of the Detroit River corridor to reimagine it as an urban case study in narrative placemaking and civic renewal. Beginning with the premise that place-based storymaking is vital to sustaining democratic values and community capacity for self-determination, the Lab partners on projects designed to support the narrative capacities of local urban communities through the story-telling channels of community journalism, place-based education, and public history., The Story Lab co-designs scalable interventions to strengthen community-based forms of narrative infrastructure. Participants draw upon archives and oral histories to document previously marginalized narratives centering the river. Drawing on this research, we prototype new approaches to place-based learning, within the university and beyond, to expand the publics involved in the production and circulation of local narratives of identity and urban memory., and More information about the Detroit River Story Lab (DRSL) can be found at https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/detroit-river-story-lab/.
