SUMMARY:Margaret Frantz Memorial
DESCRIPTION:A memorial for Marge Frantz (1922-2015) a Hist Con graduate (1984) and longtime colleague at UC Santa Cruz in Women’s Studies and American Studies will be held on Sunday\, January 17th from 2-5pm. \nRefreshments & reception following the program. \nAmple and free parking is available.  Enter UCSC at the WEST entrance.  Three stop signs and turn right and proceed to the end of the road. Recital Hall is in front of you. \nContributions in Marge’s memory are welcomed by Aptheker/Frantz Women’s Studies Endowment at UCSC\, American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California\, and Alzheimer’s Association\, Northern California and Northern Nevada Chapter. \n“An inspiring and beloved teacher\, skilled activist and generous friend\, Marge Frantz died in Santa Cruz on October 16 at the age of 93. Passionately committed to social justice\, she identified strongly with the three great social movements of her time: socialism\, civil rights and feminism. They shaped her as an organizer\, intellectual\, and teacher who refused hierarchies while embracing and delighting in differences. She crossed boundaries wherever she encountered them—between teachers and students\, academics and activists\, young and old\, rich and poor\, gay and straight\, black and white. Her emphasis on commonalities was crucial to the success of the progressive communities she created and sustained throughout her life…”  Read more. \nRead Frantz’ obituary in the Santa Cruz Sentinel here.

SUMMARY:Sharon Inkelas: "The A-map model: Articulatory reliability in child-specific phonology"
DESCRIPTION:This talk\, based on joint work with Tara McAllister Byun and Yvan Rose\, addresses a phenomenon of longstanding interest: the existence of child-specific phonological patterns which are not attested in adult language. We propose a new theoretical approach\, termed the A(rticulatory)-Map model\, to account for the origin and elimination of child-specific phonological patterns. Due to the performance limitations imposed by structural and motor immaturity\, children’s outputs differ from adult target forms in both systematic and sporadic ways. The computations of the child’s grammar are influenced by the distributional properties of motor-acoustic traces of previous productions\, stored in episodic memory and indexed in the eponymous A-map. We propose that child phonological patterns are shaped by competition between two essential forces: the pressure to match adult productions of a given word (even if the attempt is likely to fail due to performance limitations)\, and the pressure to attempt a pronunciation that can be realized reliably (even if phonetically inaccurate). These forces are expressed in the grammar by two constraints that draw on the motor-acoustic detail stored in the A-map. These constraints are not child-specific\, but remain present in the adult grammar\, although their influence is greatly attenuated as a wide range of motor plans come to be realized with a similar degree of reliability. The A-map model thus not only offers an account of a problematic phenomenon in development\, but also provides a mechanism to model motor- grammar interactions in adult speech\, including in cases of acquired speech impairment. \nSharon Inkelas is Professor of Linguistics at UC Berkeley.\n  \nLinguistic Colloquium Series: \nThe Linguistic department hosts colloquium talks by distinguished faculty from around the world. \nFall 2015\nOctober 9th: Keith Johnson\, UC Berkeley\nOctober 16th: Heidi Harley\, University of Arizona\nOctober 30th: Ivano Caponigro\, UC San Diego\nNovember 20th: Elliott Moreton\, University of North Carolina \nWinter 2016\nJanuary 15th: Sharon Inkelas\, UC Berkeley\nFebruary 5th: Colin Phillips\, University of Maryland\nFebruary 6th: N.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: James Beneda
DESCRIPTION:James Beneda \n“The Morally Incoherent Indoctrination of the American Soldier in Iraq: An Institutional Theory of Traumatic Experience” \nI take up an issue that most of us cannot help but see as a problem of individual psychology and restate it in terms of institutional politics and political ideologies. Starting from cognitive sociology and recent clinical research that reframes post-traumatic stress (PTSD) as ‘moral injury’\, I argue that the traumatic experiences of American soldiers in the Iraq War resulted from flawed cultural and institutional indoctrination. \n\n  \nFriday Forum Winter 2015 Schedule \nFridays\, 12:30 – 2:00pm\nHumanities 1\, Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

SUMMARY:Socialism and Postsocialism Roundtable Discussion with Elena Gapova
DESCRIPTION:The Berlin Wall collapsed in 1989\, marking the ostensible end of the socialist project and the triumph of neoliberal economic policies around the globe. The result has been widespread de-industrialization\, unemployment\, ethnic conflict\, poverty\, and proliferating sex-traffic in the formerly socialist world\, which now in many ways exemplifies trends toward stagnation and crisis that affect the whole of the capitalist world economy. The purpose of this project is not only to address the issues which capitalism creates and subsequently ignores in its unrestricted expansion; but also to provide viable alternatives and solutions to these problems by using the lens of socialism\, which\, conceived of both as a set of historical projects to achieve a post-capitalist society as well as a horizon of political perspective and activity\, retains its urgency today in the face of the recent crises and long term trends of global capitalism. \n\n\nAt the same time\, we view socialism not merely as a question of area studies\, but also as a global historical phenomenon\, and in this sense\, we aim to pose the problem of postsocialism as one that ramifies far beyond the territories of current or formerly socialist states\, intersecting in productive ways with any number of other “post”-discourses in contemporary debates\, from postcolonialism to postfordism. \n\n  \nElena Gapova is Associate Professor\, Department of Sociology\, Western Michigan University; Founding Director\, Centre for Gender Studies\, European Humanities University (Belarusian “university-in-exile” in Lithuania). \nHunter Bivens\, Literature Department\, UCSC\nSara Blaylock\, History of Art and Visual Culture\, UCSC\nElena Gapova\, Department of Sociology\, Western Michigan University\nNatalia Koulinka\, History of Consciousness Department\, UCSC\nLisa Rofel\, Anthropology Department\, UCSC\nAndrei Tcacenco\, History Department\, UCSC \nIntroduced and Moderated by Neda Atanasoski\, Feminist Studies Department\,\nUCSC

SUMMARY:Elena Gapova: "Suffering and the Soviet Man's Search for Meaning: The "Moral Revolutions" of Svetlana Alexievich"
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies and the Socialism/Postsocialism Research Cluster presents Elena Gapova \nSvetlana Alexievich\, the recipient of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature\, is known for her unique literary method that blurs the genres of oral history and documentary prose. For each book\, she conducts\, over the period of five to ten years\, between 500 and 700 interviews with witness-participants or their surviving family members. In her montage of individual narratives\, she gives a voice to several Soviet generations\, if not to an entire Soviet society that has strained to make sense of the enormous suffering it experienced during the 20th century. Together\, Alexievich’s books make up a series that she calls “The Chronicle of the Big Utopia\, or The History of the Red Man.”  Some scholars claim that Alexievich created a genre of her own\, and in this presentation\, her work is treated as a form of moral philosophy\, a way to approach ethical issues through literature. The most prominent of these seems to be the question of the meaning of suffering\, as it is encountered by a post-Soviet man at the moment when the Soviet world is crumbling and falling apart. \nElena Gapova is Associate Professor\, Department of Sociology\, Western Michigan University; Founding Director\, Centre for Gender Studies\, European Humanities University (Belarusian “university-in-exile” in Lithuania). \n  \n\nWinter 2016 Cultural Studies Colloquium Series: \nJanuary 13- Elena Gapova: “Suffering and the Soviet Man’s Search for Meaning: The “Moral Revolutions” of Svetlana Alexievich”\nJanuary 20- Nicholas Mitchell: “On Afropessimism; or\, The People Critique Makes”\nJanuary 27- Joes Segal: “Post-Socialist Monuments: A Heavy Heritage”\nFebruary 3- Jonathan Beecher: “Visions of Revolution: European Writers ad the French Revolution of 1848”\nFebruary 10- B.

SUMMARY:Enduring Power - Photography Exhibit - Nov. 2 - Dec. 17
DESCRIPTION:Enduring Power: \nThe Middle Eastern and Iranian Women’s Story \n— A Photography Exhibit — \nNovember 2 – December 17\, 2015 \nAT: Resource Center for Nonviolence\, 612 Ocean St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA \nExhibit HOURS: M-TH noon – 4p.m. or by appointment\, 831-423-1626 \nSponsored by the Resource Center for Nonviolence and Senses Cultural\, \nEnduring Power’s striking images represent a wide range of experiences\, aspirations\, fears and realities of Middle Eastern and Iranian women from Yemen\, Egypt\, Bahrain\, Iran and Kuwait.  A collection of work from several female photographers of Middle Eastern backgrounds\, Enduring Power shows an intimate and unique perspective of an otherwise private world to the American audience. This exhibition\, curated by photographer Sina Araghi\, presents powerful stories of education\, individuality\, familial relationships\, societal restraints\, and boldness. \n“Peering behind the veil and headscarves to reveal real individuals is a delicate but necessary boundary to push. These photographs speak of the greater issues of identity and resilience\, and the strength of women within these regions. Their sense of identity has not been erased by culture or governments. \n   These women are empowering themselves – against all obstacles – through their own will. A clear defiance and a sense of individuality is present. They are not weak or afraid. They are powerful and energized. They command your attention and your interest. Let their stories be heard.” — Sina Araghi\, curator of Enduring Power \nSenses Cultural\, Davis\, CA\, and the Resource Center for Nonviolence are collaborating on this Senses Cultural’s traveling photography exhibition\, which was previously at UC Davis\, San Francisco State University. Senses Cultural believes that women – mothers\, grandmothers\, and daughters – have been the quiet strength that protects the rights of their families\, communities\, and nations. \nPlease join us for the First Friday EXHIBIT RECEPTION on December 4\, 6-9p.m. featuring Tata Masud\, Founder and CEO of Senses Cultural\, Davis\, CA. Light refreshments will be available. \nCo-sponsors (list in formation):  WILPF Santa Cruz \nFor more information: 831-423-1626\, rcnv.org \nCurator Statement by Sina Araghi\nEnduring Power: The Middle Eastern and Iranian Woman’s Story is a collection of work by seven female photographers from Egypt\, Kuwait\, Bahrain\, Yemen\, and Iran\, examining the lives and livelihoods of women in that region. \nApart from their exceptional photographic work\, these photographers were selected in great part due to their diverse coverage of topics regarding women\, spanning across many different countries throughout the Middle East. \nPeering behind the veil and headscarves to reveal real individuals is a delicate but necessary boundary to push. It is so vital to the future and progress of women in these cultures to be seen succeeding\, thriving\, and discovering – all on their own. Whether they are generations apart or contemporaries\, progress is achieved when women grow and improve on their own terms\, separate from the male influence that so strongly permeates their public culture and the worldwide media. There is an almost constant push/pull between the individualized and powerful identity of the Middle Eastern woman\, and the attempts by culture and government to erase that identity. \nThis collection of images illustrate how that sense of identity has not been erased. This collection is a celebration of the progress and growth that has happened\, and a tangible foreshadowing of what is still to come. \nThe division of gender throughout daily life creates two very different worlds within the same culture. The photographic perspective in this exhibition is unique to women who are inside these cultures and countries. These 7 photographers are not outsiders\, tourists\, or just passing through\, and the familiarity and camaraderie felt between ‘insiders’ is tangible in these photographs. Being a female photographer creates uniquely privileged access into the lives and experiences of the Middle Eastern woman – access into a world that men seldom are privy to. Respecting this access while still honoring the truth in moments witnessed requires grace and trust. There is fragility in that access. As an Iranian male photographer\, I admire this perspective\, knowing full well the limitations and privileges of my own gender. \nCollectively\, these photographs speak of the greater issues of identity and resilience\, and the strength of women within these regions. They are empowering themselves – against all obstacles – through their own will. A clear defiance and sense of individuality is present (an especially sacred quality in a world of appearance commonality)\, and there is no apologizing for any of it. These women are not weak or afraid. They are resilient\, powerful\, and energized. They command your attention and your interest. \nLet their stories be heard. \n-Sina Araghi\, curator \nFor more information: 831-423-1626\, rcnv.org

Senses Cultural believes that women – mothers\, grandmothers\, and daughters – have been the quiet strength that protects the rights of their families\, communities\, and nations. \nPlease join us for the First Friday EXHIBIT RECEPTION on December 4\, 6-9p.m. featuring Tata Masud\, Founder and CEO of Senses Cultural\, Davis\, CA. Light refreshments will be available. \nCo-sponsors (list in formation):  WILPF Santa Cruz \nFor more information: 831-423-1626\, rcnv.org \nCurator Statement by Sina Araghi\nEnduring Power: The Middle Eastern and Iranian Woman’s Story is a collection of work by seven female photographers from Egypt\, Kuwait\, Bahrain\, Yemen\, and Iran\, examining the lives and livelihoods of women in that region. \nApart from their exceptional photographic work\, these photographers were selected in great part due to their diverse coverage of topics regarding women\, spanning across many different countries throughout the Middle East. \nPeering behind the veil and headscarves to reveal real individuals is a delicate but necessary boundary to push. It is so vital to the future and progress of women in these cultures to be seen succeeding\, thriving\, and discovering – all on their own. Whether they are generations apart or contemporaries\, progress is achieved when women grow and improve on their own terms\, separate from the male influence that so strongly permeates their public culture and the worldwide media. There is an almost constant push/pull between the individualized and powerful identity of the Middle Eastern woman\, and the attempts by culture and government to erase that identity. \nThis collection of images illustrate how that sense of identity has not been erased. This collection is a celebration of the progress and growth that has happened\, and a tangible foreshadowing of what is still to come. \nThe division of gender throughout daily life creates two very different worlds within the same culture. The photographic perspective in this exhibition is unique to women who are inside these cultures and countries. These 7 photographers are not outsiders\, tourists\, or just passing through\, and the familiarity and camaraderie felt between ‘insiders’ is tangible in these photographs. Being a female photographer creates uniquely privileged access into the lives and experiences of the Middle Eastern woman – access into a world that men seldom are privy to. Respecting this access while still honoring the truth in moments witnessed requires grace and trust. There is fragility in that access. As an Iranian male photographer\, I admire this perspective\, knowing full well the limitations and privileges of my own gender. \nCollectively\, these photographs speak of the greater issues of identity and resilience\, and the strength of women within these regions. They are empowering themselves – against all obstacles – through their own will. A clear defiance and sense of individuality is present (an especially sacred quality in a world of appearance commonality)\, and there is no apologizing for any of it. These women are not weak or afraid. They are resilient\, powerful\, and energized. They command your attention and your interest. \nLet their stories be heard. \n-Sina Araghi\, curator \nFor more information: 831-423-1626\, rcnv.org

SUMMARY:PhD+: Coding for Humanists
DESCRIPTION:Part of the PhD+ Workshop Series\, Sponsored by the IHR \nInterested in coding\, but not sure where to start? Fabiola Hanna\, a new media artist and PhD Candidate in the department of Film and Digital Media\, will walk us through the basics of coding for the web. We will explore HTML\, CSS\, and (time permitting) Java Script by remixing existing website code. Think deconstruction as a way of learning how websites are built and how code processes work. This introduction will not make you into expert coders – but it will provide you with insight into coding that you can apply to customize existing sites and work within easy-to-use platforms (like WordPress\, Drupal). You will also gain an understanding of next steps so you can continue developing your coding skills. \nJoin us for this introductory workshop. No previous experience with coding necessary.\nBe sure to bring a LAPTOP (not a tablet). Before the workshop: Download the Firefox Browser. \n\n  \nPhD+ Workshop Series\nPlease join us for the launch of PhD+\, our new series! We will meet monthly\, over lunch\, to discuss possible career paths for humanities PhDs\, online identity issues\, internship possibilities\, work/life balance\, elements of style\, grants/fellowships and much\, more more. \nOctober 9\, 2015: Alternative Academia Panel\nNovember 6\, 2015: Internship Info Session\nDecember 4\, 2015:  Coding for Humanists\nJanuary 8\, 2016: Research Tools and Methods\nFebruary 5\, 2016: Online Identity\nMarch 4\, 2016: Work-Life Balance\nApril 8\, 2016: Writing and Publishing in the Humanities\nMay 13\, 2016: Research and Grants\nJune 3\, 2016: End of Year Luncheon\nLoading…

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Claudia Rankine: University of Southern California
DESCRIPTION:Claudia Rankine\n University of Southern California \nClaudia Rankine is the author of five collections of poetry including Citizen: An American Lyric and Don’t Let Me Be Lonely; two plays including Provenance of Beauty: A South Bronx Travelogue; and is the editor of several anthologies including The Racial Imaginary: Writers on Race in the Life of the Mind. She also co-produces a video series\, “The Situation\,” alongside John Lucas\, and is the founder of the Open Letter Project: Race and the Creative Imagination. Among her numerous awards and honors\, Rankine is the recipient of the Poets & Writers’ Jackson Poetry Prize and fellowships from the Lannan Foundation and the National Endowment of the Arts. \nRankine’s bestselling book\, Citizen: An American Lyric (Graywolf\, 2014)\, uses poetry\, essay\, cultural criticism\, and visual images\, to explore what it means to be an American citizen in a “post-racial” society. A defining text for our time\, Citizen was the winner of the 2015 Forward Prize for Best Collection\, the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry (it was also a finalist in the criticism category\, making it the first book in the award’s history to be a double nominee)\, the NAACP Image Award\, the PEN Open Book Award\, and the LA Times Book Award for poetry. Citizen was nominated for the Hurston/Wright 2015 Legacy Award\, was a finalist for the 2014 National Book Award\, and was selected as an NPR Best Book of 2014\, who stated: “This collection examines everyday encounters with racism in the second person\, forcing the read-er—regardless of identity—to engage a narrative haunted by the deaths of Michael Brown\, Trayvon Martin\, and Renisha McBride.” Citizen also holds the distinction of being the only poetry book to be a New York Times bestseller in the nonfiction category. \nIn all of her work\, whether writing about intimacy or alienation\, Rankine’s voice is one of unrelenting candor\, and her poetry is some of the most innovative and thoughtful work to emerge in recent years. Her work often crosses genres as it tracks wild and precise movements of mind. In the words of the Judges Citation for the Jackson Prize: “The moral vision of Claudia Rankine’s poetry is astounding. In a body of work that pushes the boundaries of the contemporary lyric\, Rankine has managed to make space for meditation and vigorous debate upon some of the most relevant and troubling social themes of the 20th and 21st centuries….These poems do the work of art of the highest order—teach-ing\, chastening\, changing\, astounding\, and humanizing the reader.” \nHer other poetry collections are Don’t Let Me Be Lonely (2008); the award-winning Nothing in Nature is Private; The End of the Alphabet; and Plot\, wherein she welds the cerebral and the spiritual\, the sensual and the grotesque. Don’t Let Me Be Lonely—a multi-genre project that blends poetry\, essays\, and image—is an experimental and deeply personal exploration of the condition of fragmented selfhood in contem-porary America. Rankine is also the author of the play\, Provenance of Beauty: A South Bronx Travelogue\, which is performed on a bus ride through the Bronx. The New York Times calls it an “engrossing urban adventure\, which does not conform to the standard formula for theater but does make the bustle outside the bus throb with history\, mystery and meaning\, as the best live performances do.” \nRankine co-edited the anthology American Women Poets in the 21st Century: Where Lyric Meets Language\, and her work is included in several anthologies\, including Great American Prose Poems: From Poe to the Present\, Best American Poetry 2001\, Giant Step: African American Writ-ing at the Crossroads of the Century\, and The Garden Thrives: Twentieth Century African-American Poetry. Her work has been published in numerous journals including Boston Review\, TriQuarterly\, and The Poetry Project Newsletter. \nBorn in Kingston\, Jamaica\, and educated at Williams College and Columbia University\, she lives in California and is the Aerol Arnold Chair in the University of Southern California English Department. \n  \n\n  \nFall 2015 Living Writers Series: \nCreative Work & Critical Play \nThursdays\, 6:00-7:45 PM\nHumanities Lecture Hall\, 206 \nCreative Work & Critical Play features contemporary writers and artists who expose and explore the space between critical discourse and the creative imagination. Through the work of making art and the play in ideation\, they mine issues of race\, sexuality\, gender\, and class through several genres and media\, to include poetry\, fiction\, critical prose\, performance\, sonic and visual art\, memoir\, as well as hybrid forms. \nOctober 8: CA Conrad: The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage\nOctober 15: Tonya Foster: California College of the Arts\nOctober 22: John Keene: Rutgers University\, Newark\nOctober 29: Ronaldo V.

SUMMARY:Screening of “Okinawa: The Afterburn” with Director John Junkerman
DESCRIPTION: Q&A with Director John Junkerman to follow the film\n\nIntroduction by Professor Alan Christy\, Department of History\n\nDirected by John Junkerman\, long-term resident of Japan and Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker\, the brand-new “Okinawa: The Afterburn” is a sweeping\, in-depth look at the wartime and postwar history of Okinawa and the massive American military presence on the island. Consisting of interviews and rare archival footage on the 1945 Battle of Okinawa\, the 27-year American occupation and the ongoing struggles of the local people up until the present\, the film is a powerful statement on the historical background and complex reality of US bases on Okinawa\, an issue that remains highly controversial on both the island itself and in mainland Japan.\n\nCo-sponsors:\n\nCenter for Documentary Arts and Research\nDepartment of History\nInstitute for East Asian Studies\nFilm and Digital Media\nThe Gail Project

SUMMARY:Stacey Katz Bourns: "Integrating Grammar Pedagogy within New Frameworks for Language Instruction"
DESCRIPTION:Foreign language programs in the 21st Century are in a period of transition. Many applied linguistics researchers now consider Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) to be antiquated and are initiating alternate approaches\, some more compelling than others. Central to the discussion is the always-controversial topic of grammar pedagogy. How should grammar be taught and learned? How can grammar pedagogy fit into new frameworks for teaching language that favor focusing on texts? Is metalinguistic competence a goal that should be pursued\, and\, if so\, at what level of instruction? At the core of the issue is the changing profile of students who enroll in language classes and the need to balance students’ pragmatic demands with broader programmatic goals. \nStacey Katz Bourns is Professor of Romance Languages & Literatures at Harvard University.\n  \nLight refreshments will be served.\n \n \n

SUMMARY:Elliott Moreton: "Implicit and Explicit Learning of Phonotactic Patterns"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWhat properties are shared by the processes used for learning linguistic and non-linguistic patterns? What properties are different? Research on non-linguistic (mainly visual) pattern learning has found distinct implicit and explicit processes which have different computational architectures\, are facilitated by different experimental conditions\, and differ in sensitivity to different pattern types. Is the same true of phonological pattern learning (“artificial-language” experiments)? \nExperiment 1 asked whether implicit and explicit process are both available to human learners of a phonological pattern\, and whether the same experimental conditions favor one over the other as in non-linguistic pattern learning. The pattern involved binary gender assignment conditioned by a single phonological or semantic feature. Training conditions were manipulated in ways which\, in analogous non-linguistic experiments\, have been found to elicit more implicit or explicit learning. Participants’ responses were duly shifted towards one or the other\, as measured by self report of strategy\, report of the correct rule\, abruptness of learning curves\, acceleration of response times after the last error\, and bimodality of generalization performance. However\, the shift was not categorical; some implicit and some explicit learners were found in both experimental conditions. \nExperiment 2 asked whether explicit and implicit processes differed in sensitivity to structurally different patterns. In visual pattern learning\, explicit learning has typically been found to be more sensitive to two-feature exclusive-or patterns (red XOR triangle) than to three-feature family-resemblance patterns (at least two of red\, triangle\, or small)\, and a large modelling literature has been dedicated to accounting for the exclusive-or advantage. Conditions which favor implicit learning reduce or reverse the exclusive-or advantage (reviewed in Kurtz et al. 2013). Our experiment reversed both of these results: The family-resemblance pattern was the easier one\, and explicit learners showed a significantly stronger exclusive-or advantage. The reason for this surprising reversal seems to be that rule-seekers have a much harder time distinguishing relevant from irrelevant features in the exclusive-or condition compared to the family-resemblance condition. \nThese findings are discussed in the context of the larger question of how much linguistic and non-linguistic learning have in common (Moreton\, Pater\, & Pertsova\, in press)\, and in connection with the practical question of how to design and interpret phonological-learning experiments.\n \nElliott Moreton is Professor of Linguistics and Director of Graduate Studies and Admissions at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.\n  \n\n  \nLinguistic Colloquium: \nThe Linguistic Department hosts colloquium talks by distinguished faculty from around the world. \nFall 2015\nOctober 9th: Keith Johnson\, UC Berkeley\nOctober 16th: Heidi Harley\, University of Arizona\nOctober 30th: Ivano Caponigro\, UC San Diego\nNovember 20th: Elliott Moreton\, University of North Carolina \nWinter 2016\nJanuary 15th: Sharon Inkelas\, UC Berkeley\nFebruary 5th: Colin Phillips\, University of Maryland\nFebruary 6th: N.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum: Antoinette Wilson "Who Do You Think You Are: The Role of Racial Typicality on In-group Belonging and Stereotyping among African American Youth"
DESCRIPTION:Antoinette Wilson is a PhD candidate in Developmental Psychology. Her work investigates ways in which in-group members judge and validate racial authenticity (e.g.\, accusations of “acting White” and bias based on skin tone). Central to her research is exploring adolescents’ perceptions of  “Who fits in?”\, “Who is typical of our group”\, and “Who is ‘really’ one of us?” Her dissertation research focuses on how two aspects of racial-ethnic typicality– appearance and behavior–relate to variation in peer belonging and stereotyping among African American adolescents and young adults. Wilson’s talk describes findings from this work and is titled “Who Do You Think You Are: The Role of Racial Typicality on In-group Belonging and Stereotyping among African American Youth”. \nKeywords: Black identity\, Stereotyping\, Development\, In-group Belonging\n  \nThe Friday Forum is a graduate-run colloquium dedicated to the presentation and discussion of graduate student research. The series will be held weekly from 12:30pm to 2pm and will serve as a venue for graduate students in the Humanities\, Social Sciences\, and Arts divisions to share and develop their research. \nThis meeting will feature Antoinette Wilson (Psych) presenting her talk “Who Do You Think You Are: The Role of Racial Typicality on In-group Belonging and Stereotyping among African American Youth”. \nFor more info\, or to inquire about joining the roster of presenters for the 2015-16 academic year\, contact: fridayforum.ucsc@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Casey O'Callaghan "The Multisensory Character of Perception"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: My thesis is that perceptual awareness itself is richly multisensory. I argue for this conclusion on the grounds that certain forms of multisensory perceptual experience are incompatible with the claim that each aspect of a perceptual experience is associated with some specific sensory modality or another. First\, I explicate what it is for some feature of a conscious perceptual episode to be associated with a given modality\, or to be modality specific\, since no clear criterion yet exists in the literature on multisensory perception. Then\, I argue based on philosophical and experimental evidence that some novel intermodal features are perceptible only through the coordinated use of multiple senses. The cases to which I appeal involve consciously perceptible feature instances and feature types that could not be perceptually experienced through the use of individual sense modalities working on their own or simply in parallel. Thus\, not every feature of a conscious perceptual episode is associated with some specific modality or another. Finally\, I offer an account of how to type perceptual experiences by modality that makes room for richly multisensory experiences. The key is rejecting the presumption that perceptual experiences apportion neatly into modality-specific components – an experience’s being visual does not preclude its being auditory. \nPre-reading: The Multisensory Character of Perception \nAbout: Casey O’Callaghan is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Washington University in St. Louis. Research Interests: Focus on philosophical questions about perception\, auditory perception and the nature of its objects.

DESCRIPTION:Directions in Digital Humanities presents:\nMiriam Posner\nUCLA \nHead-and-Shoulder Hunting in the Americas:\nExploring\nLobotomy’s Visual Culture \nWorkshop: How Did They Make That?\n\nThe catch-all term “digital project” can refer to a daunting array of technologies and methods. For a newcomer (or even an experienced practitioner)\, it can be hard to know where to start. In this presentation\, we’ll examine a range of digital projects to get a handle on what’s out there. Then I’ll share some simple principles for figuring out the sources and technologies that constitute a “project.” You can use these principles to model your own project\, or just to understand and evaluate someone else’s. \n\n  \nMiriam Posner is the Digital Humanities program coordinator and a member of the core DH faculty at the University of California\, Los Angeles. A film\, media\, and visual culture scholar by training\, she frequently writes on the history of science and technology. She is also a member of the executive council of the Association for Computers and the Humanities. \nMore details click here!

SUMMARY:Miriam Posner: “Head-and-Shoulder Hunting in the Americas: Exploring Lobotomy's Visual Culture”
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the University Library \nBetween 1936 and 1967\, Walter Freeman\, a prominent neurologist\, lobotomized as many as 3\,500 Americans. Freeman was also an obsessive photographer\, taking patients’ photographs before their operations and tracking them down years — even decades — later. In this presentation\, Miriam Posner details her efforts to understand why Freeman was so devoted to this practice\, using computer-assisted image-mining and -analysis techniques to show how these images fit into the larger visual culture of 20th-century psychiatry. \n\n  \nMiriam Posner is the Digital Humanities program coordinator and a member of the core DH faculty at the University of California\, Los Angeles. A film\, media\, and visual culture scholar by training\, she frequently writes on the history of science and technology. She is also a member of the executive council of the Association for Computers and the Humanities. \nMore details click here!

SUMMARY:UPDATED TIME: Amalia Mesa-Bains Talk & Film Screening of "Eduardo Carrillo: A Life of Engagement"
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 9\, 2015\n6 PM\, Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) 108 \nThe Institute of the Arts and Sciences and the Museo Eduardo Carrillo invite you to a talk by internationally renowned artist Amalia Mesa-Bains and a screening of the Museo’s new 30 minute documentary Eduardo Carrillo: A Life of Engagement. \nAmalia Mesa-Bains is an artist\, scholar\, curator\, and writer who has been involved in the Chicano artist movement since the 1960s. Dr. Mesa-Bains is a leading altar installation artist\, incorporating Chicano culture and folk traditions into her work. She was the curator for the traveling exhibition\,Ceremony of Memory\, and the regional committee chair (Northern California) for the exhibitionChicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation\, 1965-1985 (CARA). She also has written extensively on Chicano art. \nEduardo Carrillo was a founding faculty member at Oakes College at UC Santa Cruz\, beloved Professor of Art and a renowned painter and muralist. He came of age during the dynamic social change on the 1960s. His tenure at UCSC (1972-1997) began at a turning point on the campus; there was a commitment to become more socially conscious and representative of diversity. Mesa-Bains and Eduardo worked together on a project called the CALIFAS SEMINAR at the Mary Porter Sesnon Gallery\, Porter College\, UCSC in April\, 1982. Califas gathered Chicano/a artists to discuss the evolving role they played in society. It was a breakthrough event. \nFilmed over 4 years across California and in Baja California\, Mexico\, the award winning documentary\, A Life of Engagement\, documents the artist’s relationship with his Mexican cultural heritage as he negotiated the challenges first generation Americans faced during the tumultuous social changes of the 60s and 70s. It features commentary by Amalia Mesa- Bains. \nJoin us November 9 at 6 pm in Digital Art Research Center\, RM 108. The event is FREE and open to the public. Parking is available in the Performing Arts Lot for $4. \nThis program is cosponsored by the Chicano Latino Research Center.

SUMMARY:Ruth Wilson Gilmore: "Organized Abandonment and Organized Violence: Devolution and the Police"
DESCRIPTION:EVENT VIDEO:\n \nEVENT PHOTOS:\n \n  \nCITY ON A HILL PRESS ARTICLE:\n \nThe UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies invited Ruth Wilson Gilmore to UC Santa Cruz to discuss police violence and mass incarceration in a lecture called “Organized Abandonment & Organized Violence: Devolution and The Police.” Her discussion in the UCSC Music Recital Hall on Nov. 9 paralleled the theme of her prize-winning publication “Golden Gulag\,” a prescient examination of California prisons and the consequences of a punitive justice system. Continue Reading Article \n  \n\nEVENT INFO:\n“America locks up too many people for too many offenses\, jamming prisons\, ruining families and running up steep taxpayer bills. That’s the party line on mass incarceration heard from social critics for years\, but now it’s coming from a new chorus: police chiefs by the score.” –San Francisco Chronicle\, October 22\, 2015 \nOn November 9\, the UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz will examine the issue of police and prisons with a free public lecture by Ruth Wilson Gilmore. The title of her talk is “Organized Abandonment & Organized Violence: Devolution & the Police.” Feminist studies professor Bettina Aptheker\, co–chair of the UC Presidential Chair with literature professor Karen Yamashita\, explained why they decided to bring Gilmore to campus. \n“Several years ago\, Ruth Wilson Gilmore wrote a timely and significant book\, ‘Golden Gulag: Prisons\, Surplus\, Crisis\, and Opposition in Globalizing California\,’ published by the University of California Press\,” said Aptheker. “Gilmore\, a well-known public intellectual\, documents in this book the ways in which California embarked upon the largest prison-building project in its and the nation’s history. Her work critically examines the political and economic forces that combined to propel such an ominous course.” Aptheker added that despite a crime rate that has been steadily declining for decades\, California continues to incarcerate\, even in the face of federal court orders to reduce its overcrowded and repressive system. “Most affected by these rates of incarceration are men and women of color\,” Aptheker noted. Continue Reading \nRuth Wilson Gilmore is Professor of Earth & Environmental Sciences\, and American Studies at the Graduate Center\, CUNY. She has many honors and awards\, and has delivered invited lectures at universities and cultural institutions around the world. Among many publications\, her prize-winning book is Golden Gulag: Prisons\, Surplus\, Crisis\, and Opposition in Globalizing California (2007). Current projects include a second edition of Golden Gulag\, as well as several other book projects: Fatal Couplings: Essays on Motion\, Racial Capitalism\, and the Black Radical Tradition; and Big Things: Reconfigured Landscapes and the Infrastructure of Feeling.

SUMMARY:Enduring Power - Photography Exhibit - Nov. 2 - Dec. 17
DESCRIPTION:Enduring Power: \nThe Middle Eastern and Iranian Women’s Story \n— A Photography Exhibit — \nNovember 2 – December 17\, 2015 \nAT: Resource Center for Nonviolence\, 612 Ocean St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA \nExhibit HOURS: M-TH noon – 4p.m. or by appointment\, 831-423-1626 \nSponsored by the Resource Center for Nonviolence and Senses Cultural\, \nEnduring Power’s striking images represent a wide range of experiences\, aspirations\, fears and realities of Middle Eastern and Iranian women from Yemen\, Egypt\, Bahrain\, Iran and Kuwait.  A collection of work from several female photographers of Middle Eastern backgrounds\, Enduring Power shows an intimate and unique perspective of an otherwise private world to the American audience. This exhibition\, curated by photographer Sina Araghi\, presents powerful stories of education\, individuality\, familial relationships\, societal restraints\, and boldness. \n“Peering behind the veil and headscarves to reveal real individuals is a delicate but necessary boundary to push. These photographs speak of the greater issues of identity and resilience\, and the strength of women within these regions. Their sense of identity has not been erased by culture or governments. \n   These women are empowering themselves – against all obstacles – through their own will. A clear defiance and a sense of individuality is present. They are not weak or afraid. They are powerful and energized. They command your attention and your interest. Let their stories be heard.” — Sina Araghi\, curator of Enduring Power \nSenses Cultural\, Davis\, CA\, and the Resource Center for Nonviolence are collaborating on this Senses Cultural’s traveling photography exhibition\, which was previously at UC Davis\, San Francisco State University. Senses Cultural believes that women – mothers\, grandmothers\, and daughters – have been the quiet strength that protects the rights of their families\, communities\, and nations. \nPlease join us for the First Friday EXHIBIT RECEPTION on December 4\, 6-9p.m. featuring Tata Masud\, Founder and CEO of Senses Cultural\, Davis\, CA. Light refreshments will be available. \nCo-sponsors (list in formation):  WILPF Santa Cruz \nFor more information: 831-423-1626\, rcnv.org \nCurator Statement by Sina Araghi\nEnduring Power: The Middle Eastern and Iranian Woman’s Story is a collection of work by seven female photographers from Egypt\, Kuwait\, Bahrain\, Yemen\, and Iran\, examining the lives and livelihoods of women in that region. \nApart from their exceptional photographic work\, these photographers were selected in great part due to their diverse coverage of topics regarding women\, spanning across many different countries throughout the Middle East. \nPeering behind the veil and headscarves to reveal real individuals is a delicate but necessary boundary to push. It is so vital to the future and progress of women in these cultures to be seen succeeding\, thriving\, and discovering – all on their own. Whether they are generations apart or contemporaries\, progress is achieved when women grow and improve on their own terms\, separate from the male influence that so strongly permeates their public culture and the worldwide media. There is an almost constant push/pull between the individualized and powerful identity of the Middle Eastern woman\, and the attempts by culture and government to erase that identity. \nThis collection of images illustrate how that sense of identity has not been erased. This collection is a celebration of the progress and growth that has happened\, and a tangible foreshadowing of what is still to come. \nThe division of gender throughout daily life creates two very different worlds within the same culture. The photographic perspective in this exhibition is unique to women who are inside these cultures and countries. These 7 photographers are not outsiders\, tourists\, or just passing through\, and the familiarity and camaraderie felt between ‘insiders’ is tangible in these photographs. Being a female photographer creates uniquely privileged access into the lives and experiences of the Middle Eastern woman – access into a world that men seldom are privy to. Respecting this access while still honoring the truth in moments witnessed requires grace and trust. There is fragility in that access. As an Iranian male photographer\, I admire this perspective\, knowing full well the limitations and privileges of my own gender. \nCollectively\, these photographs speak of the greater issues of identity and resilience\, and the strength of women within these regions. They are empowering themselves – against all obstacles – through their own will. A clear defiance and sense of individuality is present (an especially sacred quality in a world of appearance commonality)\, and there is no apologizing for any of it. These women are not weak or afraid. They are resilient\, powerful\, and energized. They command your attention and your interest. \nLet their stories be heard. \n-Sina Araghi\, curator \nFor more information: 831-423-1626\, rcnv.org

SUMMARY:HUMANISTS@WORK
DESCRIPTION:Humanists@Work is heading to Sacramento\, California for our next statewide graduate student career professionalization workshop. We invite humanities PhDs\, faculty\, and staff to REGISTER for the workshop and join us for what will be another meaningful and productive gathering of humanities PhDs. We are offering a limited number of travel grants to 3 students from each UC campus (grants will cover your roundtrip travel and accommodation at The Citizen Hotel). Please note that those receiving a travel grant will be invited to the pre-workshop networking dinner. Deadline to apply for a travel grant is October 9th. Please apply online via UCHRI’s FastApps application system. For more information about the pre-workshop networking dinner\, please visit our networking page. \nSCHEDULE: HUMANISTS@WORK GRADUATE CAREER WORKSHOP & NETWORKING DINNER \nNOVEMBER 8-9\, 2015 | SACRAMENTO\, CA \n8:00AM | BREAKFAST \nHot breakfast bar with–yes\, you guessed it–plenty of caffeinated beverages \n9:00AM | WELCOME AND INTRODUCTIONS \nKelly Anne Brown\, UCHRI’s Assistant Director \n9:15AM | THEORIZING OUR MOMENT: WHAT HUMANISTS@WORK LOOK LIKE \nPart I of a two-part conversation moderated by the Humwork Graduate Student Advisory Committee and continuing the interactive\, DIY activities began in San Diego last year\, the Humwork grad committee will facilitate a conversation about issues such as: the possibilities for work outside/alongside academia\, graduate student education and support\, the general conditions of the humanities in higher education and society more generally\, and the role of gatherings like Humwork to intervene in the many structural\, cultural\, and practical issues surrounding humanities work. \n9:45AM | STORIES FROM THE FIELD \nUC Humanities PhDs share their stories as humanists@work in the world. Featuring: \nJ. Guevara\, Economic Development Manager for the City of Santa Cruz (PhD Literature\, UCSC\, 2012)\nAmy Jamgochian\, Academic Program Director\, Prison University Project (PhD Rhetoric\, UCB\, 2010)\nSusie Lundy\, Bay Area Program Director\, Youth Speaks (PhD Cultural Studies\, UCLA\, 2008)\nMarty Weis\, UC Davis English PhD\, 2015\nModerated by Simon Abramowitsch\, UC Davis English PhD and Humanists@Work Graduate Advisory Committee Member \n11:00AM | COFFEE/NETWORKING BREAK \n11:30AM | RÉSUMÉ REDUX: USING THE WRITING PROCESS AS A TOOL FOR CAREER DISCOVERY \nThe quest to create a replicable résumé development framework for humanities PhD candidates exploring a variety of careers continues! \nSince UCHRI’s February 2015 Humanists@Work workshop in San Diego\, Jared Redick of The Résumé Studio\, Kelly Anne Brown of UCHRI\, and selected UC humanists have been hard at work refining the process of presenting academic experience within the boundaries of a non-academic résumé. \nThis iteration of the workshop builds on the work of past presentations at Berkeley and San Diego\, focusing on how the writing process is being used as a tool for career discovery. Highlights include: \nA glimpse into how current PhD candidates and other graduate students have used the Job Description Analysis to translate their academic and dissertation experience into transferable skills useful within a reimagined résumé.\nBefore and after samples from graduate students who have gone the distance and turned their backgrounds into marketable résumés\, several resulting in new jobs this year.\nUnsurprisingly\, the work focuses on the student’s ability to convert academic activities into work experience that resonates beyond academia. Sounds easier than it is—which is why this series continues. UCLA PhD candidate Dana Linda joins the discussion to share her own experience\, as well as insights she learned while going through the process. \nImportant: \nPlease be sure you have watched the full 1.5 hour Berkeley video before you attend\, otherwise you may not gain the full value of this presentation.\nBring your current CV and/or résumé attempt (no matter how rough\, printed or on your laptop) so it’s on hand for ideas you may capture along the way.\nJared Redick\, The Résumé Studio and Dana Linda\, UCLA Comparative Literature PhD Candidate \n12:45PM | LUNCH \nIn addition to a hot lunch\, participants will have access to view Al Farrow’s Bay Area Figurative Drawings in the special collections gallery. \n1:45PM | BREAKOUT SESSIONS \nSESSION A\nSKETCHING YOUR CAREER’S UNIQUE CHRONOLOGY IN THE RÉSUMÉ CONTEXT \nCROCKER ATRIUM\nJared Redick\, The Résumé Studio \nWorking one-on-one with University of California PhD candidates and other graduate students this year\, one of the surprising elements Jared Redick has discovered has been the complex task of distilling the hierarchy of one’s career within the limitations of the chronological résumé. \nAnd chronological résumés are essential in the world beyond academia because functional résumés—while sometimes useful—are frequently regarded by recruiters and hiring managers as tools for masking periods of unemployment. \nIn this breakout session\, Dana Linda joins Jared Redick for focused table work that utilizes the simplicity of 3×5 cards to wire frame your experience (institution names\, job titles\, dates\, buckets) in a way that is readily understood by recruiters and hiring managers. This breakout is intended for people who are\, or will soon be\, deeply focused on the résumé development process. \nImportant: \nBring a stack of your own 3×5 cards for table work. These are essential to the exercise we’ll be doing\, and we will not have enough to give to everyone.\nBring your current CV and/or résumé attempt\, no matter how rough\, printed or on your laptop.\nPlease be sure you have watched the 1.5 hour Berkeley video before you attend\, otherwise you may not gain the full value of this breakout session.\nSESSION B\nDECODING WORK: A VALUES-BASED APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING CAREERS FOR HUMANITIES PHDS \nCEMO MEETING SPACE\nAnnie Maxfield\, UCLA\nIn this session students will connect their unique strengths and value system to career trajectories by surveying how values are expressed through work\, organizations and industries. We will identify concrete UC-Humanities PhD career paths\, and discuss ways to “decode” jobs\, imagine possibilities\, and identify starting points. \n3:00PM | COFFEE/NETWORKING BREAK \n3:30PM | A MINDFUL INQUIRY INTO THE RIGHT KIND OF WORK \nLauri Mattenson\, UCLA Writing Programs\nMany of our assumptions about the job search are predetermined by the routines and rules of our educational institutions\, and accordingly\, we learn to package ourselves like products for sale to potential employers. If instead\, we regard ourselves as in-process and engage in mindful practices with an attitude of receptive non-judgement\, we can free ourselves from fixed notions of self and success. \nIn this participatory workshop\, we will practice “generative mindfulness” exercises designed to inspire greater insight into what might bring us true professional pleasure and fulfillment. \nMindful meditation is known to facilitate decision-making and cognitive flexibility and enhance well-being\, creativity\, social performance\, and health (Langer\, 1989; 2005; 2009)\, so a mindful inquiry into the right kind of work may help us conceptualize and create a career deeply aligned with our skills and values. \n4:30PM | PART II: THEORIZING OUR MOMENT \n5:30PM | CONCLUDING REMARKS

SUMMARY:Utopian Dreaming: 50 years of Imagined Futures in California and at UCSC
DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, UCSC is celebrating its 50th anniversary\, and Ernest Callenbach’s Ecotopia its 40th. Both are products of a fertile period of ferment across California\, during the 1960s and 1970s. Why has California been such a fertile and fruitful site for “Utopian Dreaming\,” in film\, fiction\, media\, design\, architecture\, mobility\, electronics\, intentional communities\,ecology and environment\, counter-culture and social movements? What kinds of futures has California come to represent? What has been the role of UCSC in these imaginaries of the future. Does California remain a Promised Land\, or is it a Land of Squandered Promise?\nOn November 6th and 7th\, 2015\, join scholars\, students\, observers and utopian dreamers \, in a conference to celebrate those anniversaries and explore visions of the future that have emerged from California and UCSC about California and UCSC. Presentations will run the gamut from Ecotopia to Technodystopia\, from the real to the fantasized\, from the past to the future\, assessing the impacts of utopian imaginaries on culture\, politics\, environment\, cities\, beliefs and ideologies at UCSC\, across California\, and beyond. \nAdmission is free\, but attendees are asked to register for the conference here. \n\nConference Schedule:\nFriday\, November 6\, UCSC Music Recital Hall\, 7:30-10 PM\n7:30-10: Keynote — Return to Ecotopia: A Celebration of the Life and Work of Ernest Callenbach.\nKim Stanley Robinson\, “Ecotopia and the 1970s Utopian Moment”\nConversation & Reminiscences about Ecotopia & Ernest Callenbach\nMalcolm Margolin (publisher\, Heyday Books\, Berkeley)\,\nJoanna Callenbach (daughter)\nRichard Kahlenberg (Callenbach’s literary agent) \nSaturday\, November 7\, UCSC Music Recital Hall\n8:30-9: Registration & Continental Breakfast\n9-9:30: Keynote — Fred McPherson\, “Utopia at UCSC: The Early Years”\n9:30-11:00: Panel I — California as Eco(u)topia\nBenjamin Wurgaft (MIT)\, “All Futures Green and Chrome: From Callenbach’s Ecotopia to 21st-Century Cornucopianism”\nKristin Miller (Sociology\, UCSC)\, “Postcards from the Future”\n11-11:15: Coffee break\n11:15-12:45: Panel II — Ecotopia and Apocalypse\nAndrew Mathews (Anthropology\, UCSC)\, “Climate Change as Utopia and Apocalypse”\nUrsula Heise (English\, UCLA)\, “What’s the Matter with Dystopia?”\n12:45-1:30: Lunch (provided to attendees on site)\n1:30-3:00: Panel III — Imagining Other Utopian Worlds\nRosaura Sanchez & Beatrice Pita (Literature\, UC San Diego)\, “The Color of Sci Fi: The Presence/Absence of People of Color in Future Imaginaries.” \nMiriam Greenberg (Sociology\, UCSC)\, “Whose Ecotopia?

SUMMARY:Joseph M. Pierce: "Writing Queer Sisterhood: The Diaries of Julia and Delfina Bunge and the Argentine Fin de Siglo (1890-1910)"
DESCRIPTION:This presentation focuses on a unique coincidence in Argentine fin de siglo (1890-1910): sisters who 1) simultaneously kept a diary for an extended period of time\, 2) actually shared\, read\, and commented on reading each other’s diaries\, and 3) though under quite different circumstances\, published these diaries subsequently. I read the diary as an interface through which textual form influences understandings of self and other in the early years of the 20th century\, arguing that it is\, in this sense\, a technology of self-making. This talk explores not simply what the diarist does\, but what discourses\, what possible modes of feeling and thinking are revealed through the process of writing and reading the diary. In particular the sister serves as critical nucleus for understanding relational subjectivity\, sibling rivalry\, and the queer potentials of lateral kinship. Examining both original manuscript notebooks and later published versions\, I show how writing and reading the diary plays a crucial role in shaping each sister’s ideological positions regarding courtship\, marriage\, and sisterhood\, and from this exploration I argue that the cultural anxiety over the division of public and private space\, and in particular women’s labor\, led each sister to stake a claim of individuality that emerges through the process of imagining herself as different\, but potentially the same as\, her sister.\n  \nJoseph M. Pierce is Assistant Professor in the Department of Hispanic Languages and Literature at Stony Brook University. His research focuses on discourses of kinship\, gender\, and sexuality in Latin America and on the intersection of Latin American and North American approaches to citizenship and belonging. He is currently drafting a book manuscript entitled Queer Kinship in the Argentine fin de siglo: La familia Bunge\, and is co-editor with Fernando Blanco and Mario Pecheny of Derechos Sexuales en el Sur: Políticas del amor y escrituras disidentes (Forthcoming\, Cuarto Propio).\n  \nLight refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Imogen Dickie "Proper Names: Transition to the End Game"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nI shall prove a principle which brings out the significance for accounts of aboutness and reference of the fact that justification is truth conducive; use this principle to develop an account of reference-fixing for proper names which presents an alternative to the tired menu of traditional causalisms\, descriptivisms\, and crosses between; and identify two questions around which the next phase in discussions of reference-fixing for proper names should be structured. \nAbout: \nImogen Dickie is an Associate Professor of Philosophy and Director of Undergraduate Studies at the University of Toronto. Research Interests: Philosophy of language and mind: theory of reference\, metasemantics\, acquaintance\, perception\, communication\, singular thought. Some topics in epistemology\, metaphysics\, and philosophy of action. \nacademia.edu: Imogen Dickie academic page \nhttp://philosophy.ucsc.edu/news-events/dickie.html

SUMMARY:Enduring Power - Photography Exhibit - Nov. 2 - Dec. 17
DESCRIPTION:Enduring Power: \nThe Middle Eastern and Iranian Women’s Story \n— A Photography Exhibit — \nNovember 2 – December 17\, 2015 \nAT: Resource Center for Nonviolence\, 612 Ocean St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA \nExhibit HOURS: M-TH noon – 4p.m. or by appointment\, 831-423-1626 \nSponsored by the Resource Center for Nonviolence and Senses Cultural\, \nEnduring Power’s striking images represent a wide range of experiences\, aspirations\, fears and realities of Middle Eastern and Iranian women from Yemen\, Egypt\, Bahrain\, Iran and Kuwait.  A collection of work from several female photographers of Middle Eastern backgrounds\, Enduring Power shows an intimate and unique perspective of an otherwise private world to the American audience. This exhibition\, curated by photographer Sina Araghi\, presents powerful stories of education\, individuality\, familial relationships\, societal restraints\, and boldness. \n“Peering behind the veil and headscarves to reveal real individuals is a delicate but necessary boundary to push. These photographs speak of the greater issues of identity and resilience\, and the strength of women within these regions. Their sense of identity has not been erased by culture or governments. \n   These women are empowering themselves – against all obstacles – through their own will. A clear defiance and a sense of individuality is present. They are not weak or afraid. They are powerful and energized. They command your attention and your interest. Let their stories be heard.” — Sina Araghi\, curator of Enduring Power \nSenses Cultural\, Davis\, CA\, and the Resource Center for Nonviolence are collaborating on this Senses Cultural’s traveling photography exhibition\, which was previously at UC Davis\, San Francisco State University. Senses Cultural believes that women – mothers\, grandmothers\, and daughters – have been the quiet strength that protects the rights of their families\, communities\, and nations. \nPlease join us for the First Friday EXHIBIT RECEPTION on December 4\, 6-9p.m. featuring Tata Masud\, Founder and CEO of Senses Cultural\, Davis\, CA. Light refreshments will be available. \nCo-sponsors (list in formation):  WILPF Santa Cruz \nFor more information: 831-423-1626\, rcnv.org \nCurator Statement by Sina Araghi\nEnduring Power: The Middle Eastern and Iranian Woman’s Story is a collection of work by seven female photographers from Egypt\, Kuwait\, Bahrain\, Yemen\, and Iran\, examining the lives and livelihoods of women in that region. \nApart from their exceptional photographic work\, these photographers were selected in great part due to their diverse coverage of topics regarding women\, spanning across many different countries throughout the Middle East. \nPeering behind the veil and headscarves to reveal real individuals is a delicate but necessary boundary to push. It is so vital to the future and progress of women in these cultures to be seen succeeding\, thriving\, and discovering – all on their own. Whether they are generations apart or contemporaries\, progress is achieved when women grow and improve on their own terms\, separate from the male influence that so strongly permeates their public culture and the worldwide media. There is an almost constant push/pull between the individualized and powerful identity of the Middle Eastern woman\, and the attempts by culture and government to erase that identity. \nThis collection of images illustrate how that sense of identity has not been erased. This collection is a celebration of the progress and growth that has happened\, and a tangible foreshadowing of what is still to come. \nThe division of gender throughout daily life creates two very different worlds within the same culture. The photographic perspective in this exhibition is unique to women who are inside these cultures and countries. These 7 photographers are not outsiders\, tourists\, or just passing through\, and the familiarity and camaraderie felt between ‘insiders’ is tangible in these photographs. Being a female photographer creates uniquely privileged access into the lives and experiences of the Middle Eastern woman – access into a world that men seldom are privy to. Respecting this access while still honoring the truth in moments witnessed requires grace and trust. There is fragility in that access. As an Iranian male photographer\, I admire this perspective\, knowing full well the limitations and privileges of my own gender. \nCollectively\, these photographs speak of the greater issues of identity and resilience\, and the strength of women within these regions. They are empowering themselves – against all obstacles – through their own will. A clear defiance and sense of individuality is present (an especially sacred quality in a world of appearance commonality)\, and there is no apologizing for any of it. These women are not weak or afraid. They are resilient\, powerful\, and energized. They command your attention and your interest. \nLet their stories be heard. \n-Sina Araghi\, curator \nFor more information: 831-423-1626\, rcnv.org

SUMMARY:e-Learning and Innovative Pedagogies  "The Future of Education: Advanced Computing\, Ubiquitous Learning\, and the Knowledge Economy"
DESCRIPTION:EVENT PHOTOS:\nCreated with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR. \nUCSC to host an International e-Learning Conference\, November 2-3 2015\nThis year\, UC Santa Cruz will play host to the Eighth International Conference on e-Learning and Innovative Pedagogies from November 2-3\, 2015. The conference is built upon four key features: Internationalism\, Interdisciplinarity\, Inclusiveness\, and Interaction. Conference delegates include leaders in the field as well as emerging artists and scholars who travel to the conference from all corners of the globe and represent a broad range of disciplines and perspectives. A variety of presentation options and session types offer delegates multiple opportunities to engage\, to discuss key issues in the field\, and to build relationships with scholars from other cultures and disciplines. More than 20 countries are expected to be represented at the conference. I encourage our faculty and graduate students to submit proposals to present papers at this conference. \nThe e-Learning Conference will investigate the uses of technologies in learning\, including devices with sophisticated computing and networking capacities that are now pervasively part of our everyday lives. Additionally it explores the possibilities of new forms of technology-mediated learning devices not only in the classroom\, but also in a wider range of places and times than was conventionally the case for education. \nThe conference welcomes submissions from a variety of disciplines and perspectives and encourages faculty and students to jointly submit proposals discussing e-Learning through one of the following themes: \n• Theme 1: Pedagogies\n• Theme 2: Institutions\n• Theme 3: Technologies\n• Theme 4: Social Transformations\n• 2015 Special Focus: The Future of Education: Advanced Computing\, Ubiquitous Learning\, and the Knowledge Economy  \nPlenary speakers will include: Satya V. Nitta\, Program Leader of the Cognitive Learning Content research group at IBM’s T J Watson Research Center; Kevin Franklin\, Executive Director of the Institute for Computing in the Humanities\, Arts\, and Social Sciences and Senior Research Scientist for the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois; and Jim C. Spohrer\, Director of the IBM Global University Programs. \nFor more information\, including registration pricing\, please visit the conference website at: http://ubi-learn.com/. \nThis conference is co-sponsored by the UCSC Institute for Humanities Research and Academic Affairs.

SUMMARY:Linguistic Colloquium: Ivano Caponigro
DESCRIPTION:Linguistic Colloquium: Free-Choice Free Relative Clauses in Italian and Romanian \n\n\n\n  \nEnglish\, Italian\, and Romanian (and many other languages) allow for standard free relative clauses\, i.e.\, non-interrogative wh-clauses with the same distribution and interpretation as definite DPs or PPs (e.g. Elena goes [where Bianca goes]). The same three languages (and many others) also allow for a kind of free relative in which the wh-word has been modified by an affix (e.g.\, Elena goes [wher-everBianca goes]). The semantic behavior of these free relatives\, though\, is not the same across the three languages\, despite their morpho-syntactic identity. \nThe semantic properties of –ever free relatives in English have received significant attention and insightful proposals have been made (cf. Jacobson 1995\, Dayal 1997\, von Fintel 2000\, Heller and Wolter 2011\, Condoravdi 2015\, a.o.). In this talk\, we present the first semantic investigation of the morpho-syntactic equivalent of -everfree relatives in Italian and Romanian\, which we call Free Choice Free Relatives (FC-FRs). We show that semantic properties of FC-FRs differ from -ever free relatives\, while closely resembling headed relative clauses introduced by the free choice determiner any in English. Interestingly\, neither Italian nor Romanian has a free choice item with the same morpho-syntactic shape (i.e.\, non-wh determiner) and the same semantic properties as any in English. We sketch a preliminary compositional analysis of FC-FRs that aims to capture these facts\, based on recent proposal for any and other free choice items by Chierchia (2013) and Dayal (2013). \nWe conclude by touching on the open issue of the difference in meaning between -ever free relatives in English and free choice any and the broader issue of how languages may differ in the way the available free choice items and constructions are mapped onto free choice meanings. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\nThe Linguistic department hosts colloquium talks by distinguished faculty from around the world. \nFall 2015\nOctober 9th: Keith Johnson\, UC Berkeley\nOctober 16th: Heidi Harley\, University of Arizona\nOctober 30th: Ivano Caponigro\, UC San Diego\nNovember 20th: Elliott Moreton\, University of North Carolina \nWinter 2016\nJanuary 15th: Sharon Inkelas\, UC Berkeley\nFebruary 5th: Colin Phillips\, University of Maryland\nFebruary 6th: N.

SUMMARY:Rita Lucarelli: "Ghosts and the Restless Dead in Ancient Egypt"
DESCRIPTION:EVENT PHOTOS:\n \nRita Lucarelli\nNear Eastern Studies\, UC Berkeley \n“Ghosts and the Restless Dead\nin Ancient Egypt” \nCenter for Ancient Studies at UC Santa Cruz \n  \nThe beliefs in ghosts and spirits of the dead are widespread in world religions. In ancient Egypt\, however\, there is a certain inconsistency when mentioning the manifestations of the dead in magical and religious texts. \nThis paper will present and discuss the various evidence\, which may indicate ghosts\, revenants and evil dead in the spells and objects used in everyday magic as well as in mortuary compositions such as the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead. \n-Rita Lucarelli \nRita Lucarelli studied at the University of Naples “L’Orientale\,” Italy\, where she received her MA degree in Classical Languages and Egyptology. She holds her Ph.D. from Leiden University\, the Netherlands (2005). Her Ph.D. thesis was published in 2006 as The Book of the Dead of Gatseshen: Ancient Egyptian Funerary Religion in the 10th Century BC. \nfrom 2005 to 2010\, Lucarelli held a part-time position as a Lecturer of Egyptology at the University of Verona\, Italy. From 2009 to 2012\, she worked as a Research Scholar on the Book of the Dead Project at the University of Bonn\, Germany. \nShe was a Visiting Research Scholar at the Italian Academy of Advanced Studies of Columbia University (2009) and at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW) of NYU (2012). \nUntil June 2014 she worked as a Research Scholar and a Lecturer (Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin) at the Department of Egyptology of Bonn University\, and she held a part-time position as a Lecturer of Egyptology at the University of Bari in Italy. \nRita Lucarelli is currently writing a monograph on demonology in ancient Egypt and she is one of the coordinators of the Ancient Egyptian Demonology Project: http://www.demonthings.com.

SUMMARY:Ozploitation Film Series presents : Long Weekend (1978)
DESCRIPTION:An unsettling cross between Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds (1963) and an early Harold Pinter play\, Colin Eggleston’s Long Weekend presents us with an extremely prickly couple on holiday who are finding it harder and harder to tolerate each other even as it becomes increasingly apparent that nature itself might be out to do them in at their idyllic beach campsite. Petty squabbling and rampant passive aggressivity momentarily distract from the couple’s casual littering and senseless slaughter of animals. As the film goes on\, however\, the couple’s problems with each other and nature’s problems with them start to overlap and soon develop a queasily menacing force. Not to be missed!

SUMMARY:Juliana Spahr: "The Politics of Poetry Production > The Politics of Poetic Form"
DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of a larger project about contemporary US literature that asks a very old question about the relation between literature and politics.  Professor Spahr suggests that turn of the century US literature is somewhat analogous to the earth’s ailing ecosystem\, at risk because of multiple forces– economic changes\, government interference\, liberal foundations\, and higher education–that bolster each other in ways that are expansive and self-reinforcing\, like a Fibonacci sequence. \nSpahr is Professor of English at Mills College. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nFall 2015 Cultural Studies Colloquium Series\n  \nNovember 4\, 2015\nJasmine Syedullah\n“‘Not Contraband\, but Soldier’: Against the Domestic Violence of National Security”\n  \nNovember 18\, 2015\nCatherine Sue Ramírez\n“’Our Porto Ricans’: Puerto Rican Students at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School\, 1898-1923″

SUMMARY:Melissa Gregg: "8 Hours for What We Will"
DESCRIPTION:Discussion on time management in the workplace and the role of technology in facilitating dominant ideas of productivity. \nRSVP required. Please email Caroline Kao cakao@ucsc.edu. \nIn preparation\, please read 2 chapters of any time management self help book and make a note of those things that are classified as leisure activities by the author. \nSome of Melissa Gregg’s favorite books are:\nLeave the Office Earlier: The Productivity Pro Shows You How to Do More in Less Time…and Feel Great About It\nGetting Things Done: The ABCs of Time Management \nMelissa Gregg Bio: \nI am a Principal Engineer at Intel Corporation researching the future of work. My role is to translate strategic insights on the nature of enterprise and employment to business outcomes and opportunities. \nMy recent research tracks the rise of the personal enterprise – a world in which individuals take responsibility for their life’s work with the assistance of freely available technical infrastructure. ‘Ad hoc professionals’ negotiate a changing landscape of work suppliers to sell their services and make a living outside of traditional employment relationships. This type of career poses a challenge to tech business models that differentiate between enterprise and consumer sales. There is a third category emerging between the two thanks to consumer-led enterprise innovation. My aim is to help workers empower themselves and flourish in this context. \nAs an Australian-born researcher\, I have an international profile in gender and cultural studies\, work and organization studies and affect theory. My forthcoming book\, Counterproductive\, is a history of time management self-help in the workplace. It shows how productivity tools came to prominence as employment shifts contributed to a decline in collective opportunities for structured time and ritual. This adds historical depth to my earlier analyses of contemporary work life which include Work’s Intimacy (Polity 2011)\, The Affect Theory Reader (co-edited with Gregory J. Seigworth\, Duke 2010)\, and Cultural Studies’ Affective Voices(Palgrave 2006). \nBefore joining Intel\, I was on faculty in the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney (2009-13) following a series of research fellowships at the Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies\, University of Queensland (2004-8). \nhttp://www.homecookedtheory.com/about-me/

SUMMARY:Melissa Gregg: "From Productivity to Personal Logistics: A Brief History of Time Management from Shop Floor to Departure Gate"
DESCRIPTION:EVENT PHOTOS: \n \nThis talk offers a reading of time management in the workplace and the role of technology in facilitating dominant ideas of productivity. It begins by revisiting classic moments in management theory – Taylor\, Gilbreth\, Mayo\, Drucker\, and more – and develops a framework for understanding contemporary productivity tools in light of these precursors. Rather than simply a metric for efficiency\, today productivity is a lifestyle practiced by elite\, autonomous workers who manage themselves in transient\, adhoc workplaces. Technology is the trusted and reliable companion across multiple domains\, contexts and experiences. \nAlso join us for a discussion with Melissa Greg on Tuesday October 27th at 5pm http://ihr.ucsc.edu/event/melissa-gregg-8-hours-for-what-we-will/ \nMelissa Gregg Bio: \nI am a Principal Engineer at Intel Corporation researching the future of work.

SUMMARY:50th Anniversary: First Annual UCSC Downtown Fair
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations of the founding of the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, the City of Santa Cruz will host the first annual UCSC Downtown Fair on Sunday\, October 25\, 2015 following the 50th celebration parade being co-organized by the city and University Relations. The fair will be located at Cooper Street and Abbott Square (next to the Museum of Art and History)\, and activities will run from approximately 10:30am to 2pm. \nFor five decades\, students\, faculty\, staff and researchers at UCSC have been seeking answers to life’s most difficult questions. Today the community is asking: \nHow do you make a banana slug float? \nIt could involve a decorated car—or perhaps a glass of root beer? An inflatable raft? \nYou decide… and then ENTER YOURSELF (https://fs16.formsite.com/Downtown/Slug/index.html) in the “first-time-on-the-planet” Banana Slug Parade in Downtown Santa Cruz on Sunday\, October 25 at 11 am. The parade is part of our community’s celebration of the 50th Anniversary of UCSC. \nThink about it: a parade in this innovative and creative community built on the theme of Banana Slugs. It’s going to be awesome and hilarious and something you need to be a part of. \nGet your organization\, your friends\, your yoga club\, your astronomy class or your ukulele team to come up with an amazing parade entry (think floats\, marching bands\, dance groups\, costumed kids\, costumed old hippies\, giant paper mache banana slugs\, or ?). \nInvite your SLUGGIEST friends to this event page! \nSIGN UP HERE \nThere will be awards and prizes for the top entries. We ask that all entries have a thematic connection with UCSC or Banana Slugs. \nFor more details and for updates on the Expo that follows the parade\, please visit DowntownSantaCruz.com \nThis parade and expo celebrating UCSC’s 50th Anniversary on October 25th is being organized by the City of Santa Cruz and the Downtown Association. \nMore info:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/445296702306085/\nhttps://events.ucsc.edu/event/3124

SUMMARY:Ozploitation Film Series Presents: Wyrmwood
DESCRIPTION:We need to find a zombie fast.\nThe visually striking feature-film debut of director Kiah Roache-Turner\, who made it on weekends with friends and actors over a number of years\, Wyrmwood approaches the ubiquitous zombie apocalypse (familiar to us from so many works of popular culture over the past decade or so) in an unusually inventive and frenetic do-it-yourself spirit. A passing meteor (our star of Wormwood from the Book of Revelation here) seems to be the instigating force in the transformation of much of the world’s population into zombies\, though a few humans manage to hold off against zombification and try to make their way across the Outback to save one of their family members. A mad scientist\, telepathically controlled zombie hordes\, and a novel solution to the world energy crisis all help make this stand out from recent zombie films/television shows. Not to be missed! \n\n  \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing exploitation films from Australia each week on Wednesdays. Same time starting at 7 pm in Stevenson Room 150. All are welcome! Tell your family and invite your friends. \nWeek 1 – Wolf Creek (2005; dir. Greg McLean)\nWeek 2 – Wake in Fright (1971; dir. Ted Kotcheff)\nWeek 3 – Razorback (1984; dir. Russell Mulcahy)\nWeek 4 – Wyrmwood (2014; dir. Kiah Roache-Turner)\nWeek 5 – Long Weekend (1978; dir. Colin Eggleston)\nWeek 6 – Patrick (1978; dir.

SUMMARY:Quantifying Creativity: Art through the Eyes of Computation
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Data Science Initiative \n  \nIs the experience of art uniquely human? Can algorithms be artistic producers? Or\, do machines remove the context and meaning from creativity? As artificial agents generate media and evaluate originality\, how will we draw the line between human and machine aesthetics? How will the relationship between art\, and humanity\, be redefined? \nPresentations by Dr. Ahmed Elgammal (Assistant Professor) and Babak Saleh (PhD Student)\, Department of Computer Science\, Rutgers University\, and Chris Smith\, Co-founder at BitMesh\, will be followed by an interdisciplinary panel. David Cope (UCSC\, Music)\, Arnav Jhala (UCSC\, Computational Media)\, Samantha Matherne (UCSC\, Philosophy)\, and Albert Narath (UCSC\, History of Art and Visual Culture) will respond to the presentations and debate the value of using algorithms to assess and understand creativity.\n\nWine and Cheese will be served. Seats are limited: ONLINE REGISTRATION REQUIRED.\n\n  \nFor more details click here!

SUMMARY:Linguistic Colloquium: Heidi Harley
DESCRIPTION:Heidi Harley\, University of Arizona \n“Suppressing Subject Arguments in Hiaki” \nThe Hiaki passive suffix -wa appears in a very normal-looking personal passive\, and also in an odd impersonal passive—odd in that it is productive with unaccusative as well as unergative intransitive predicates\, provided they have a [+human] argument. It appears that -wa can even make a personal passive out of a raising predicate\, suppressing the embedded subject and promoting the embedded object. \nI will lay out the empirical picture for you\, mainly focussing on investigating whether the apparent impersonal construction might have a null impersonal subject argument\, and arguing that it does not. Then I will illustrate where my thinking is going about how -wa operates\, aiming for a unified treatment of -wa across the personal and impersonal constructions using half of Lechner 2012’s reflexivization operation. Then I will ask for lots and lots of input. \n\n  \nLinguistic Colloquium: \nThe Linguistic department hosts colloquium talks by distinguished faculty from around the world. \nFall 2015\nOctober 9th: Keith Johnson\, UC Berkeley\nOctober 16th: Heidi Harley\, University of Arizona\nOctober 30th: Ivano Caponigro\, UC San Diego\nNovember 20th: Elliott Moreton\, University of North Carolina \nWinter 2016\nJanuary 15th: Sharon Inkelas\, UC Berkeley\nFebruary 5th: Colin Phillips\, University of Maryland\nFebruary 6th: N.

SUMMARY:Comparative Empires: Feminist Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Histories of empire have been tethered over-determinedly to singular histories of nation-states\, temporalities and/or geopolitics. Rather than locate empire as a stable or temporal concept\, the colloquium attends to the imaginative possibilities offered by a turn to a more comparative relationship to empire within a south-south framework. To do so\, we turn to two clusters of critical attachments that are rarely configured through and against the language(s) of empire (1) How do we understand empire delinked from locality\, and locality delinked from geopolitical territory? (2) How do we attend to a politics of comparative empires that would be less about given political identities and geographies and more about vernacular epistemologies shaping\, social and human collectivities? To attend to these issues\, the colloquium foregrounds south-south engagement and brings together work on empire from South Asia\, African diaspora studies and aboriginal/indigenous histories. \n  \nVIDEO: \n \n  \n \nPHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n\n  \nProgram\n10:00 AM – Introductory Remarks\nAnjali Arondekar\, Feminist Studies\, UC Santa Cruz \n10:10 AM – “Silent Incantations “\nRonaldo Wilson\, Literature\, UC Santa Cruz \n10:30 AM – “A Minor History of Empire: Indenture\, Abolition\, and the Post-bellum Polity” \nMrinalini Sinha\, History\, University of Michigan \n12:00 PM – Lunch \n1:30 PM – “Engaging Geontopower\, Films by the Karrabing Film Collective”\nElizabeth Povinelli\, Anthropology\, Columbia University\nRespondent: Mayanthi Fernando\, Anthropology\, UC Santa Cruz \n3:00 PM – Tea Break \n3:30 PM – “An Ethereal Girl in an Imperial World: Inside U.S. Empire with Grace Halsell”\nRobin D.G.

SUMMARY:Ozploitation Film Series Presents: Razorback
DESCRIPTION:There’s something about blasting the shit out of a razorback that brightens up my whole day. \nAs one would expect from a film about a car-sized boar rampaging through the outback with a bloodlust for humans\, Razorback is equal parts style\, surface\, and absurdity. Accordingly\, plot summaries fail to do justice to the sheer bloody loveliness of the highly artificial lighting (in particular\, the dead of night in the outback has never looked so neon blue) and gratuitous camera movements that appear to be straight out of an early Duran Duran music video\, which is as apt given that this is indeed the narrative feature-length film debut of Russell Mulcahy\, the director of the bulk of said early Duran Duran music videos. Come for the killer boar\, stay for the cinematography. Not to be missed! \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing exploitation films from Australia each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends.

SUMMARY:Food for Thought: Marcia Ochoa on Colonialism impact on current views of gender and sexuality
DESCRIPTION:Cannibalism\, Sodomy\, and the Failings of Modernity\nMarcia Ochoa\, Feminist Studies Department\nProfessor Marcia Ochao’s research areas include transgender studies\, gender and sexuality\, colonial historiography\, and many more. In this talk she will show how European colonizers focused on non-Western practices of spirituality (which they called idolatry)\, relation to the body\, (cannibalism)\, and gender systems (sodomy) as key forms of difference that legitimized their project of colonizing the Americas. Professor Ochoa will discuss how colonization and specific historic events have shaped gender and sexuality ever since\, and continue to reproduce violence in the lives of gender-variant people. What will it take to create a society that does not reproduce this kind of violence? \nFood for Thought is an opportunity for students to connect with faculty in an informal and interactive setting.

SUMMARY:DataLex: Privacy\, Big Data\, & the Law
DESCRIPTION:Today\, across nearly every societal sector\, from corrections to education to health care\, large-scale data analysis is a widely adopted tool. Our most personal behaviors and traits are regularly quantified by a rapidly growing array of sensors and devices around us.  These devices are connected to intelligent systems that can render critical predictions about our conduct and choices—what we will buy\, our health\, when we will leave our jobs\, whether we pay our bills\, even whether we will commit crimes. \nWhile data analytics promise to unlock extraordinary advances in productivity and research\, fascinating legal and ethical issues arise as Big Data is deployed in new contexts: \n\nHow does privacy law constrain the ability of data controllers to use or apply predictive judgments about us?\nAre the algorithms that increasingly measure and curate our lives fair\, or can they encode discriminatory biases?\nIn some contexts\, such as genomic research\, are privacy risks to individuals outweighed by the potentially life-saving benefits to society of research that requires large-scale processing of personal information?\nWhat is the role of information governance and regulation in facilitating and sculpting the uses of Big Data?\n\nTo interrogate these issues\, DataLex is bringing together data scientists\, policymakers\, legal scholars\, and privacy advocates to collectively consider these important issues using technical\, social and ethical lenses simultaneously. \nTo register for this event\, or for further information\, including registration\, please visit http://lex.ucsc.edu/resources/datalex_registration.html

SUMMARY:Keith Johnson: "Adventures in Phonetic Neuroscience"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In studying linguistic knowledge and the cognitive processing that uses this knowledge\, linguists and psycholinguists have looked for ways to find out what is cognitively “real” that underlies the patterns found in language and linguistic behavior.  We are generally faced with the problem of being on the outside looking in. Each method of acquiring data from people as they speak and listen (elicitation of forms\, recording of corpora\, recording behavioral responses in experiments) contributes to a more sophisticated understanding of linguistic knowledge and processing. \nIn this talk I will present some results from recent investigations in phonetic neuroscience.  The data come from recordings from a dense grid of electrodes placed directly on the surface of the brain in patients who were undergoing surgery for epilepsy.  These neural imaging data have fine resolution in both time and frequency and have low enough noise that a relatively few trials is needed in order to find rich phonetic information.  In the first of the three studies that I will describe\, we found that during speaking the motor cortex shows patterns of activity that group sounds by articulator – labials are similar to other labials\, dorsals are similar to other dorsals\, etc (Bouchard et al.\, 2013\, Nature 495\, 327-332).  In the second study\, we found that during listening the superior temporal gyrus shows patterns of activity that group sounds by manner of articulation – stops are similar to stops\, fricatives to fricatives\, etc. (Mesgarani et al.\, 2014\, Science 1006-1010).  The third study examines a pattern of activity in the motor areas of the cortex that appears during listening.  This pattern has been noted by prior researchers who have speculated that motor activity during speech perception suggests the activity of mirror neurons and perhaps that the motor theory of speech perception is supported.  Our data complicate this interpretation because we are able to decode the phonetic information in the motor area during perception and what we find is surprising.  The pattern of activity is like the pattern found by Mesgarani et al. in STG – sounds are grouped with each other by manner of articulation\, not by articulator.  I’ll discuss the implications of this finding\, and the broader implications of neuroscience for linguistics.\n  \nKeith Johnson is a linguist and a phonetician at the University of California\, Berkeley. He also serves as the Director of the UC Berkeley Phonology Lab.

SUMMARY:An Uncommon Place: Shaping the UC Santa Cruz Campus
DESCRIPTION:As part of UCSC’s 50th Anniversary celebration\nAn Uncommon Place: Shaping the UC Santa Cruz Campus\nExhibition Dates: Friday\, September 18\, 2015 – Sunday\, October 25\, 2015\n \nPublic reception at the Smith Gallery at Cowell College:\nFriday\, September 18\, 5:00pm-7:00pm \nCurated by Emeriti Professors James Clifford\, Michael Cowan\, Virginia Jansen\, and Emeritus Campus Architect Frank Zwart. \nAll events are FREE \nThe exhibition\, originally presented last spring at the Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery at Porter College\, traces the decisive moments in the early creation of UC Santa Cruz’s built environment. \nEveryone agrees that the UC Santa Cruz campus is breathtaking. How was it created? An Uncommon Place traces decisive moments in the site’s early development. Here an innovative educational project engaged with a beautiful and challenging environment. The university took shape among steep ravines and dramatic trees in a way that respected as it transformed the landscape. Using architectural plans\, photographs\, and oral histories\, the exhibition illustrates paths taken and not taken-decisions\, constraints\, and hopes. It celebrates the achievement of UCSC’s founding planners while analyzing the tensions and contradictions that were built into their project. Through its many subsequent transformations\, the UC Santa Cruz campus remains an extraordinary work of environmental art. \nRemembering these formative years can perhaps help us renew a powerful utopian experiment. At UC Santa Cruz\, architecture and environment still conspire to create an uncommon place\, a setting for teaching\, research and imagination outside the bounds of the ordinary. \nSponsored by UCSC Alumni Association; Divisions of the Arts\, Humanities\, Physical and Biological Sciences\, Social Sciences; Colleges: Cowell\, Eight\, Kresge\, Oakes\, Porter\, and Stevenson; McHenry Library Special Collections & Archives; and University Relations. \n\n  \nEloise Pickard Smith Gallery Hours: \nTuesday – Sunday\, 11:00am to 4:00pm (Exhibition Dates: September 18 – October 25) \nThe gallery is wheelchair accessible and admission is free.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum: Joe Lehnert: “Managing Bodies-in-Motion: Algorithmic Surveillance and Predictive Policing.”
DESCRIPTION:Join us Friday\, October 2\, at 12:00 PM in Humanities 1\, Room 202\, for the first Friday Forum for Graduate Research​ of 2015-16​! \nThe Friday Forum is a graduate-run colloquium dedicated to the presentation and discussion of graduate student research. The series will be held weekly from 12:00 to 1:30 PM and will serve as a venue for graduate students in the Humanities\, Social Sciences\, and Arts divisions to share and develop their research. \nThe first meeting of the year will feature Joe Lehnert (Politics) presenting his published research in a talk entitled “Managing Bodies-in-Motion: Algorithmic Surveillance and Predictive Policing.” \nAbstract: \nSurveillance is a ubiquitous feature of contemporary social life. The advent of algorithmic analysis and surveillance augurs a world in which bodies-in-motion are managed through the dictates of data-based governance.  Algorithmic surveillance creates new categories into which non-normative bodies can be grouped and (re)shapes subjectivity by manipulating behaviors/actions rendered as normative.  I explore the algorithmic (re)creation of bodies-in-motion through the example of “predictive policing\,” which seeks to collect and analyze data in order to identity proclivities toward crime and deviance\, producing archetypal bodies that “fit” into resultant categorical constructions.  Predictive policing constitutes an example of the position algorithm surveillance occupies in the larger cultural imaginary- that danger “out there” emanates from particular categories of individuals\, and that they must be known\, policed and\, if possible\, eliminated. I conclude with reflections and questions surrounding algorithmic surveillance\, and its larger social implications. \nFor more info\, or to inquire about joining the roster of presenters for the 2015-16 academic year\, contact: fridayforum.ucsc@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Launch and Presentation of the Critical Sustainabilities Website
DESCRIPTION:From activism to ecology\, alternative culture to industry\, “sustainability\,” it seems\, is everywhere. In the face of economic and environmental crisis\, and unprecedented rates of urbanization\, the term has become ubiquitous in policy circles and across many social domains. Yet this ubiquity presents us with competing and often contradictory meanings and applications\, and can lead to conflicts over fundamental questions such as “sustainability of what and for whom?” This in turn poses challenges for sustainability scholarship\, planning\, policy\, and practice. \nCritical Sustainabilities is a new website that aims to address these issues. It focus on iconic sustainability efforts in Northern California — many of which have popularized the concept nationally and globally — while exploring the multiple\, often contested ways these efforts have made use of the term. It offers tools in the forms of “keywords” and “sites” to help grasp the histories and locations through which ideas about sustainability have been produced and become powerful. And it presents “projects” that explore these ideas through a creative and critical lens. \nPlease join us as we launch Critical Sustainabilities\, and share a few contributions from the site: \n* Miriam Greenberg (UCSC): “Sustainabilities”\n* Simon Sadler (UC Davis): “Keyword: Ecological Design” and “Site: Bateson Building”\n* Elsa Ramos (UCSC) “Keyword: Transit Oriented Development” and “Site: 16th and Mission BART Plaza”\n* Tracy Perkins (UCSC): “Site: Gonzales” and “Project: Voices from the Valley”\n* Kristin Miller (UCSC): “Keyword: Google Bus” and “Projects: Postcards from the Future”\n* Rachel Brahinsky (University of San Francisco): “Teaching Critical Sustainabilities”
