SUMMARY:Robert J. Sampson - "Marked by Time" - Stephen Raudenbush\, Reuben Jonathan Miller
DESCRIPTION:Robert J. Sampson – “Marked by Time” – Stephen Raudenbush\, Reuben Jonathan Miller \nRobert J. Sampson will discuss his new book Marked by Time. He will be joined in conversation by Stephen Raudenbush and Reuben Jonathan Miller. A Q&A and book signing will follow the discussion.  \nAt the Co-op \nRSVP HERE \nAbout the Book: A leading sociologist’s groundbreaking three-decade study challenges outdated views of crime and character\, revealing that traditional risk factors alone poorly predict children’s futures. \nBetween 1970 and 2020\, the United States experienced a dramatic rise in crime and incarceration\, followed by an unexpected decline. Along with plummeting violence came reductions in substance use\, car accidents\, child poverty\, and lead exposure. By 2020\, incarceration rates hit a twenty-five-year low\, with African Americans benefiting the most. Yet these positive shifts have not registered in public discourse or policies\, which continue to rely on outdated studies and reductive narratives of moral character and personal responsibility. \nA major reason for this oversight is how social scientists study youth development–typically through single-birth-cohort approaches that fail to capture generational change. In a pioneering three-decade study of over one thousand Chicago children across multiple cohorts\, Robert J. Sampson challenges this convention. He finds that children with similar self-control and family backgrounds\, born just a decade apart\, experienced dramatically different life paths. Strikingly\, children born in the mid-1980s faced twice the likelihood of arrest by their mid-twenties than those born ten years later. \nThis research reframes deeply ingrained assumptions about ongoing social decline and the importance of individual fortitude. Sampson spotlights the role of shifting social conditions and structural change in driving measurable improvements in youth trajectories\, along with new risks that threaten these gains. \nThe era into which a child is born shapes their future as profoundly as race\, upbringing\, or neighborhood. To rethink progress\, inequality\, and policy\, we must first acknowledge how time itself leaves a transformative mark on individual lives. \nAbout the Author: Robert J. Sampson is the Woodford L. and Ann A. Flowers University Professor at Harvard University\, Affiliated Research Professor at the American Bar Foundation\, and founding director of the Boston Area Research Initiative. Previously\, he taught at the University of Chicago. Professor Sampson is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the American Philosophical Society\, the American Society of Criminology\, the American Academy of Political and Social Science\, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation\, and\, as Corresponding Fellow\, the British Academy.  Former President of the American Society of Criminology\, he received the Stockholm Prize in Criminology.\n\nAbout the Interlocuters: Stephen Raudenbush is the Lewis-Sebring Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Sociology\, the College and the Harris School of Public Policy Studies.  He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences\, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences the recipient of the American Educational Research Association award for Distinguished Contributions to Educational Research. \nReuben Jonathan Miller is a sociologist\, criminologist and a social worker who teaches at the University of Chicago in the Crown Family School and in the Department of Race\, Diaspora and Indigeneity\, and a Research Professor at the American Bar Foundation. In 2022\, he was awarded a MacArthur Foundation Fellow. \n\nEvent Location:\n\n\n\nSeminary Co-op Bookstores \n5751 S.

SUMMARY:Spinning Home Movies #20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell | Gallery Hours
DESCRIPTION:Spinning Home Movies #20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell | Gallery Hours \nSpinning Home Movies #20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell\nGallery hours – Monday\, March 9 – Saturday\, March 14\, 2026\, 1:00 – 5:00 pm\n\nAs part of its 20th Anniversary celebration\, the South Side Home Movie Project presents Spinning Home Movies Episode 20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell\, a week-long exhibition that showcases the materiality\, architecture and temporality of home through archival films and architectural design. In the first ever Spinning Home Movies exhibition\, Jason Campbell presents an original work that combines elements of his own artistic practice with SSHMP’s Ramon Williams Collection. \n\nArtist and architect Jason Campbell transports The Linen Closet\, originally exhibited as part of the Chicago Architectural Biennial\, to the Arts Incubator gallery. An open cedar frame carries donated quilts and comforters\, creating a monument to the ritual\, improvisational practice of homemaking. In its new location\, images sampled from the Ramon Williams Collection at the South Side Home Movie Project are projected onto The Linen Closet\, expanding its material archive of home to include home movie recordings. \n\nRamon Williams was an IBEW electrician\, entrepreneur\, and amateur filmmaker who documented public life in and around his neighborhood of Bronzeville. His collection\, donated to the South Side Home Movie Project in 2020\, includes over 300 film reels captured between the 1940s and the 1960s. From parades\, performances\, sporting events and fashion shows\, Williams’ films are rare glimpses into the vibrant civic life of the historic Black neighborhood. \n\nUnlike many of the collections archived at the South Side Home Movie Project\, Williams’ films primarily document public events occurring beyond the domestic confines of a family home. And yet\, the collection of films retain the intimacy typically reserved for home movie recordings. To foreground this intimacy\, Campbell collects still frames from Williams’ films that capture moments of direct eye contact between Williams’ camera and his subjects. Excised from their moving image context and assembled into photo albums\, these stills become an archive of presence where Williams\, his subjects and visitors to the gallery share a collective interior in the midst of Black public life. \n\nThe gaze collapses the divide between public documentation and private memory. Historically\, Black presence in public space has been surveilled\, regulated\, or rendered hyper visible. When subjects look directly into Ramon Williams’ camera\, the look is not passive\, it reclaims the frame. The gaze signals: this is ours; we recognize who is filming; we belong here. By extracting only these moments\, civic documentation is transformed into something that behaves like a family archive\, where being seen is not extractive but relational. Spinning Home Movies Episode 20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell invites us to view projected images from within The Linen Closet\, to explore the photo albums of stills\, and to consider the “stilling” power of the gaze. \nSpinning Home Movies Episode 20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell is presented with generous support from the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation.

SUMMARY:Spinning Home Movies #20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell | Gallery Hours
DESCRIPTION:Spinning Home Movies #20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell | Gallery Hours \nSpinning Home Movies #20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell\nGallery hours – Monday\, March 9 – Saturday\, March 14\, 2026\, 1:00 – 5:00 pm\n\nAs part of its 20th Anniversary celebration\, the South Side Home Movie Project presents Spinning Home Movies Episode 20: Quiet Still with Jason Campbell\, a week-long exhibition that showcases the materiality\, architecture and temporality of home through archival films and architectural design. In the first ever Spinning Home Movies exhibition\, Jason Campbell presents an original work that combines elements of his own artistic practice with SSHMP’s Ramon Williams Collection. \n\nArtist and architect Jason Campbell transports The Linen Closet\, originally exhibited as part of the Chicago Architectural Biennial\, to the Arts Incubator gallery. An open cedar frame carries donated quilts and comforters\, creating a monument to the ritual\, improvisational practice of homemaking. In its new location\, images sampled from the Ramon Williams Collection at the South Side Home Movie Project are projected onto The Linen Closet\, expanding its material archive of home to include home movie recordings. \n\nRamon Williams was an IBEW electrician\, entrepreneur\, and amateur filmmaker who documented public life in and around his neighborhood of Bronzeville. His collection\, donated to the South Side Home Movie Project in 2020\, includes over 300 film reels captured between the 1940s and the 1960s. From parades\, performances\, sporting events and fashion shows\, Williams’ films are rare glimpses into the vibrant civic life of the historic Black neighborhood. \n\nUnlike many of the collections archived at the South Side Home Movie Project\, Williams’ films primarily document public events occurring beyond the domestic confines of a family home. And yet\, the collection of films retain the intimacy typically reserved for home movie recordings. To foreground this intimacy\, Campbell collects still frames from Williams’ films that capture moments of direct eye contact between Williams’ camera and his subjects. Excised from their moving image context and assembled into photo albums\, these stills become an archive of presence where Williams\, his subjects and visitors to the gallery share a collective interior in the midst of Black public life. \n\nThe gaze collapses the divide between public documentation and private memory. Historically\, Black presence in public space has been surveilled\, regulated\, or rendered hyper visible. When subjects look directly into Ramon Williams’ camera\, the look is not passive\, it reclaims the frame. The gaze signals: this is ours; we recognize who is filming; we belong here.
