SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - Going Public: A Workshop on Public Writing for Academics
DESCRIPTION:There’s no such thing as the Ivory Tower. Colleges and universities are not isolated enclaves\, and they probably never were. Public engagement is an essential part of the core mission of higher education. \nBut how do we reach the public? This age of constant media babble and a vast explosion of online and print publications have transformed the traditional pathways of publication\, prestige\, and engagement. Academics – experts in so many things – need to be part of the conversation. In fact\, the variety of media voices has only made expertise and authority more important. \nIn this workshop\, journalist and historian David M. Perry will lead you through the process of getting your voice into the public sphere. He will cover pragmatic topics: the art of the pitch\, finding the right venue\, managing social media profiles\, getting paid\, making it count for tenure and promotion\, and protecting yourself from trolls and harassment. He will also talk about strategies to simultaneously maintain academic authority and be accessible to the broader public. \nThrough it all\, you’ll be working on your pitches\, reading essays that embody important traits\, and developing your own ideas. \nOver the last five years\, David – once a mild-mannered medievalist – has become a columnist for Pacific Standard Magazine\, with hundreds of published pieces at venues all over the world\, including the New York Times\, the Guardian\, and the Chronicle of Higher Education. Along the way\, he’s learned a lot about how to take academic expertise and share it with a much broader audience. \nGoing public isn’t easy\, but neither is getting into graduate school\, getting a PhD\, or finding an academic job\, so you’ve already traveled some pretty difficult paths. This workshop will start you on your way towards the next challenge. \nPlease come to the workshop with an idea for an essay that you might like to write. Essays could be about your scholarly expertise\, personal experience\, or anything else that interests you. We will mostly focus on traditional “op-ed” essays as a structure\, but will also discuss blogging (iterative essay writing on a site under your control)\, reported pieces\, and narrative/creative non-fiction (memoir\, experimental prose\, features\, etc.). Complimentary lunch provided to attendees. \nPlease RSVP using your UCSC email address: \nLoading… \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series \nJoin us for the seventh year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - Community as Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:Community as Rebellion offers a meditation on creating liberatory spaces for students and faculty of color within academia. Through personal experiences and analytical reflections\, García Peña  invites us—in particular Black\, Indigenous\, Latinx\, and Asian women—to engage in liberatory practices of boycott\, abolition\, and radical community-building to combat the academic world’s tokenizing and exploitative structures. She argues that the classroom is key to freedom-making in the university\, urging teachers to consider activism and social justice as central to what she calls “teaching in freedom”: a progressive form of collective learning that prioritizes the subjugated knowledge\, silenced histories\, and epistemologies from the Global South and Indigenous\, Black\, and brown communities. By teaching in and for freedom\, we not only acknowledge the harm that the university has inflicted on our persons and our ways of knowing since its inception\, but also create alternative ways to be\, create\, live\, and succeed through our work. \nCommunity as Rebellion can be accessed here. Please ensure you are logged into your McHenry Library Account. \nDr. Lorgia García-Peña is a writer\, activist and scholar who specializes in Latinx Studies with a focus on Black Latinidades. Her work is concerned with the ways in which antiblackness and xenophobia intersect the Global North producing categories of exclusion that lead to violence and erasure. Through her writing and teaching\, Dr. García Peña insists on highlighting the knowledge\, cultural\, social and political contributions of people who have been silenced from traditional archives. She is the author of three books \, the award-winning The Borders of Dominicanidad: Race\, Nations and Archives of Contradictions (Duke\, 2016) which was translated and published in Spanish by Editorial Bonó in 2020; Translating Blackness: Latinx Colonialities in Global Perspective (Duke\, 2022) and Community as Rebellion (Haymarket\, 2022). Additionally\, her work has been covered in several publications including the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, The New Yorker\, The Boston Review and Harper’s Bazaar. She has appeared on CNN\, BBC\, MSNBC\, Univision and Telemundo and is a regular contributor to NACLA and Asterix Journals. \nAn engaged scholar committed to liberating education and bridging the gaps that separate the communities she comes from (Black\, immigrant\, working) and the university\, Dr. García Peña is also a co-founder of Freedom University Georgia\, a school that provides college instruction to undocumented students and the co-director of Archives of Justice a transnational digital archive project that centers the life of people who identify as Black\, queer and migrant. She has been widely recognized for her public facing work: in 2022 she received the Angela Davis Prize for Public Scholarship\, in 2021 the Margaret Casey Foundation named her a Freedom Scholar\, and in 2017 the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) presented her a Disobedience Award for the co-founding of Freedom University. Additionally\, her scholarship has been supported by the Ford Foundation\, The Johns Hopkins University African Diaspora Studies Postdoctoral Fellowship and the Future of Minority Studies Fellowship. García-Peña received a PhD in American Culture from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor and an M.A. in Latin American and Latino Literatures from Rutgers University. Currently\, she serves as the Mellon Professor and Chair of the Department in Studies of Race\, Colonialism and Diaspora at Tufts University. \nPlease RSVP using your UCSC email address: \nLoading… \nThis event is sponsored by The Humanities Institute and co-sponsored by the Dolores Huerta Research Center for the Americas. \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series \nJoin us for the seventh year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - VOCES Drafting Stages with Melissa Rosario
DESCRIPTION:Drafting Stages is a series of intimate conversations with speakers working inside and outside of academia and at different points in their careers about writing as an evolving and non-linear process. Focusing on conditions\, inspirations\, and methods\, each speaker will offer personal insight into their processes and the messiness and vulnerabilities of drafting stages. \nThe invited speaker for this session is Dr. Melissa Rosario (she/they)\, a mixed-race queer nonbinary femme who lives and works in Puerto Rico. Drawing on their training as an anthropologist and her own journey of self-healing\, Melissa founded and leads the Center for Embodied Pedagogy and Action (CEPA). CEPA is a practice-based initiative dedicated to the decolonization of mind-body-spirit of organizers\, artists\, and healers. It is a space for diaspora and island-based Boricuas and close allies who want to co-create a culture of reclamation that transforms inheritances and patterns into collective liberation. They understand it to be a tool for healing as it allows us to create new possibilities and agreements for our future while also opening space to speak truths that have remained on the margins of our awareness. She has published in Anthropology and Humanism\, AnthroNow\, and Curriculum Inquiry and is a co-author of Decolonizing for Organizers\, a practice-based manual for activists unlearning and healing from colonization. Her first book is under review and is tentatively titled Another Country: Reclaiming Freedom in Puerto Rico. \n \nThe conversation will be facilitated by Dr. Gina Athena Ulysse\, Professor in the Feminist Studies Department at UCSC.

SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop – Using Generative AI for Research in the Humanities
DESCRIPTION:This informal\, practical workshop will survey how generative AI tools like GPT-4 and Claude can be used in humanistic research. Large Language Models (LLMs) such as these have a well-documented tendency to “hallucinate” information when prompted in certain ways. But if employed thoughtfully and with an awareness of their limitations\, they represent a significant new tool for researchers in the humanities. For instance\, GPT-4 is able to translate and summarize text far more accurately than the previous state of the art — and crucially\, it can do so even when presented with imperfect\, archaic\, or flawed transcriptions\, such as in the case of text pulled from photographs of archival documents or digitized premodern books. GPT-4 is also able to turn spreadsheets or other forms of quantitative data into visualizations and perform surprisingly sophisticated analysis of visual sources\, not to mention basic transcription of handwritten texts. Finally\, new AI speech recognition tools like Whisper now allow for rapid transcription of oral history interviews and other recordings. We will cover the specific use cases of translation\, summarization\, transcription\, and image analysis with an eye toward the specific ways that AI can contribute to the research goals of participants. \nPlease come with an internet-connected device\, preferably a laptop\, and sign up for both ChatGPT and Claude before the workshop (both are free). Suggested reading: https://resobscura.substack.com/p/generative-ai-for-historical-research. \n  \nBenjamin Breen is an associate professor of history at UC Santa Cruz interested in the history of globalization\, science\, drugs\, and the long-term impacts of technological change. My book The Age of Intoxication (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 2019) explores how drug users and sellers in the British and Portuguese empires helped to shape imperialism\, global trade\, and scientific practice in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It won the 2021 William H. Welch Medal from the American Association for the History of Medicine and is available in hardcover\, paperback\, and ebook formats. Trained as a historian of the early modern era\, I am currently working on two book projects (one a cultural and intellectual history of experimental drug researchers during the Cold War\, another on the entanglements between colonialism\, climate change\, and the concept of magic between 1600 and 1900).  \n\nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series\nPlease join us for the eighth year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by the Humanities Institute. We meet monthly\, over lunch\, to discuss possible career paths for PhDs\, internship possibilities\, grants/fellowships\, work/life balance\, elements of style\, online identity issues\, and much\, much more..  \n\nThis event will be held in-person in Humanities 1\, Room 210.  \nPlease RSVP using your UCSC email address: \nLoading…

SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - Grants and Fellowships
DESCRIPTION:Grants and Fellowships for Scholars in the Humanities  \nLearn how to make your fellowship and grant proposals competitive to a wide range of selection committees. We’ll discuss what does and does not need to be in a research proposal\, the proper tone and form\, and ways to tease out the larger stakes of individual research projects and avoid the jargon of field-specific descriptions. This session will help you craft a research proposal that appeals to a broad academic audience. This workshop will be an opportunity for graduate students to learn about The Humanities Institute’s funding resources as well as strategies for acquiring extramural support. \nThe workshop will be led by Pranav Anand (Faculty Director at The Humanities Institute and Professor of Linguistics) and Caitlin Charos (Research Development Specialist\, Humanities and Humanistic Social Sciences). Clara Bergamini (PhD candidate in History) will discuss her role as Research Development GSR and how to set up a meeting to discuss funding opportunities. As part of the workshop\, Saskia Nauenberg Dunkell (Research Programs and Communications Manager at The Humanities Institute) will also share an overview of THI resources to support graduate students with fellowship applications. \n  \nPranav Anand\, professor of the Linguistics Department at UC Santa Cruz\, is THI’s new Faculty Director. Anand was awarded the John Dizikes Teaching Award in Humanities\, and earlier this year served as co-principal investigator on a National Endowment for the Humanities grant to create a certificate program for engineering students to better understand the impact of technology on the world. \n  \n  \nCaitlin Charos grew up in Stockton\, California and earned degrees from University of Pennsylvania (B.A.\, English)\, University of York\, U.K. (M.A.\, Cultures of Empire\, Resistance\, and Postcoloniality)\, and Princeton University (M.A.\, A.B.D.\, English). While pursuing a Ph.D. in English at Princeton University\, Caitlin established herself as a researcher\, teacher\, and persuasive grant writer\, and was awarded a fellowship funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for scholarship on global migration. Her research interests include postcolonial literatures\, particularly literatures from southern Africa\, gender and sexualities\, race and ethnicity\, and the novel. Caitlin began her career in research development as a fellow in Princeton’s Office of Corporate Engagement and Foundation Relations\, where she helped connect faculty members to foundation funders with shared missions. She has supported faculty in securing significant grants from the The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, National Endowment for the Humanities\, University of California Humanities Research Institute\, and University of California Office of the President. She is a member of the National Organization of Research Development Professionals. Caitlin loves talking with faculty about their research and is dedicated to applying her experience in support of humanities and social sciences research at UCSC. \n  \n \nSaskia Nauenberg Dunkell is the Research Programs and Communications Manager at The Humanities Institute (THI). In her role\, she manages research projects\, graduate and undergraduate student programs\, communications\, and public humanities initiatives at the institute. She holds a PhD in Sociology from the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA) and is a Research Advisor for the UCSC Human Rights Investigations Lab for the Americas. Before moving to UCSC\, she was an inaugural research affiliate at the Promise Institute for Human Rights at UCLA School of Law and yearlong National Science Foundation fellow at the Center for Conflict\, Displacement\, and Peacebuilding at the University of Cartagena\, Colombia. Alongside her scholarship\, she has directed Global Youth Connect’s Colombia Human Rights Delegation\, worked at the International Peace and Security Institute’s The Hague Symposium on Post-Conflict Transitions and International Justice\, and served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Kingdom of Tonga. \n  \n\nClara Bergamini is a PhD candidate in history and Research development GSR at UC Santa Cruz. She is working on a dissertation tentatively titled “Mapping Imperial Japan’s Greatest Calamities: Learning Nation and Enacting Empire Through Disaster.” My research centers around how people’s experiences with and memories of crises and catastrophes shape society over time through moments of memory-making. Specifically\, my research focuses on how the annual anniversaries of the 1923 Great Kantō Disaster and other disasters were used for various political and social programming during Japan’s imperial period. \n  \n  \nPlease RSVP using your UCSC email address: \nLoading… \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series

A master of deeply-researched personal narrative\, Gore will share decades of experience\, take questions\, and offer some tools to get started. \nThis event is open to graduate students as well as faculty. \n \nSpace is limited and first-come\, first-serve\, so register now! \nParticipants will receive a short excerpt of Ariel Gore’s new book\, Rehearsals for Dying (The Feminist Press) via email upon registration but may want to consider reading the whole book or attending Gore’s Living Writers reading on 11/6. \nAriel Gore is a LAMBDA Award-winning editor and author of 13 books of hybrid feminist fiction and nonfiction\, including the shameless novel/memoir We Were Witches\, the how-to guide Hexing the Patriarchy\, and the memoirs Atlas of the Human Heart\, The End of Eve\, and Rehearsals for Dying. She founded the American Press Award-winning zine Hip Mama. She also makes coloring books and tarot cards\, and teaches writing online at Ariel Gore’s School for Wayward Writers at the Literary Kitchen. She often lives in Oakland\, Santa Fe\, and Brooklyn. \n\nSponsored by the UCOP-sponsored MRPI in Disability Justice and Abolition Medicine and The Humanities Institute PhD+ series.

SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - Grants and Fellowships
DESCRIPTION:Grants and Fellowships for Humanities Scholars \nLearn how to make your fellowship and grant proposals competitive to a wide range of selection committees. We’ll discuss what does and does not need to be in a research proposal\, the proper tone and form\, and ways to tease out the larger stakes of individual research projects and avoid the jargon of field-specific descriptions. This session will help you craft a research proposal that appeals to a broad academic audience. It will also be an opportunity for graduate students to learn about The Humanities Institute’s funding resources as well as strategies for acquiring extramural support. \nThe workshop will be led by Pranav Anand (THI Faculty Director and Professor of Linguistics)\, Banu Bargu (THI Steering Committee Member and Professor of History of Consciousness)\, and Saskia Nauenberg Dunkell (THI Research Programs and Communications Director). \n  \nPlease RSVP using your UCSC email address: \nLoading… \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series
