By surrounding yourself by highly talented and smart people, it ups your game. My goal is to continue to pub- lish work in journals related to the discipline to raise awareness on how important mobile com- munication technology is and how much it has been associated with social change in our lives. I also hope to start a new research center for mobile communication studies within the Department of Communication Studies at the University. What are some ways you have been sharing your academic work to the broader campus population? I have been organizing a speaker series on social media and the social consequences of media with the Institute for Social Research. On Mondays throughout the semester, we have top scholars who are studying social media presenting cutting- edge research. We just had one of our first speakers and it was very well attended. The session we had today focused on defining social media. This series is open to the entire University community, including students, and every- one is welcome to come. Upcom- ing topics include social media's impact on race, violent behavior, personality and psychometrics. CHARLES KOWALEC/Daily Graduate students discsss research presentations in the Robert H.

Coffee shop to relocate above Literati bookstore The Espresso Bar to occupy second floor space on E. Washington By CHRISTY SONG Daily Staff Reporter Literature and coffee beans will make a new pairing in downtown Ann Arbor. Literati Bookstore and The Espresso Bar are taking over the second floor of 124 E. Washington St., the building in which Literati is located. The independent bookstore will receive the keys to the sec- ond floor by mid-October and aims to have its grand reveal sometime before Thanksgiv- ing, Literati owner Hilary Gus- tafson said. Not long after opening the bookstore in March 2013, Gus- tafson discovered The Espresso H-IM Bar, located at 327 Braun Ct. in Kerrytown, and grew familiar with its coffee as well as its owner, Sandy Bledsoe. "We visited his coffee shop all of the time and noticed that his business was really thriving and we were just running out of space in terms of storage," Gus- tafson said. "So, we were think- ing about ways in which we could have some more space, but be more creative about it." Both businesses were facing issues with limited space. After six months of discussion, they decided to purchase the second floor of the Literati building. Currently, Literati is com- posed of a lower level and a main level. Both are about 1,300 square feet, totaling about 2,600 square feet of space. That figure will grow to 3,900 square feet with the addition of the second floor. The lower level contains the store's non- fiction collection, and the main level houses its fiction collec- 5-M tion, essays and artwork. Gustafson said she plans to place the coffee shop on the second floor and dedicate the new space to store events and featured content such as "I Heard It On NPR" and Literati Top 25. The cafe will seat about 30 customers. Gustafson said she wants to create a cozy envi- ronment with exposed brick walls and large windows. The Espresso Bar's move to the second floor of Literati will signify a relocation from its Kerrytown location rather than the opening of a new branch for the coffee shop. "It was just a natural growth of two thriving businesses needing more space." Gus- tafson said.

Primus is an expert on con- stitutional law and has clerked for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He is also a four-time recipient of the L. Hart Wright Award for Excellence in Teaching. "To say that affirmative action is a hard and complex issue is to vastly underestimate affirmative action," Primus said. "Constitu- tionality and legality of a particu- lar measure is variable over time, depending on what people think it means." Primus explained the history of affirmative action policy, start- ing with the Freedmen's Bureau, which provided services for former slaves during Recon- struction. Eventually, Primus said, the federal government began focusing on anti-discrimi- nation laws that were enforced by agencies like the National Labor Relations Board. In the 1960s and 1970s, NLRB's "cease and desist" letters blocking discriminatory hiring practices were supple- mented with modern affirmative action policies. Part of Prinus' curriculum in his Equal Protection class deals with the University's influence on affirmative action policy across the country. The state of Michi- gan has been a flashpoint in the history of affirmative action. Former University President Lee Bollinger and the University were named as defendants in two Supreme Court cases: Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger, which upheld the legality of race- based affirmative action under certain guidlines. In 2014, the Supreme Court ruled in Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirma- tive Action to uphold Michigan's constitutional ban on affirmative action. According to Primus, former Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon created the affir- mative action policies known today. Primus also explained the metamorphoses undergone by the arguments in favor of affirma- tive action.Primus said inthe'60s and '70s affirmative action was meant to rectify past or current discrimination against Blacks, while today most arguments in favor of affirmative action focus on the benefits ofhaving a diverse workplace or school. Primus said the argument for diversity is easier to make because of how contestable the subject of race is in the United States. Primus also discussed the political realm of affirmative action, as opposed to the poli- tics. Affirmative action is a more contentious issue for Americans than legacy-based admissions and preferences for athletes, even though all three issues can be viewed as degrading individual meritocracy in college admis- sions.
