SUMMARY:Open Access Day at McHenry Library
DESCRIPTION:Open Access Week is an annual international event promoting the idea that scholarly research should be freely and openly available. For Open Access Week 2010\, the University Library is sponsoring an afternoon event where about a dozen faculty members representing each of the academic divisions will talk about the ways in which they are making their research\, data and teaching resources freely accessible. Please join us\, starting at 3:00 pm\, for an opportunity to see how UCSC researchers across the disciplines are addressing open access publishing. You are welcome to stay as long as you like. Refreshments will be served. \nSchedule of speakers available here.

SUMMARY:Ruth Mueller: “Bound to Nothing but Science Itself?  Academic Life Science Careers and the Nomadic Disposable Research Scientist”
DESCRIPTION:Ruth Mueller is a contract researcher at the Department of Social Studies of Science and a lecturer at the Faculty of Life Sciences and the Centre for Gender Studies at the University of Vienna. \nShe will present: “Bound to Nothing but Science Itself?  Academic Life Science Careers and the Nomadic Disposable Research Scientist\,” at UCSC on Wednesday\, October 20\, 2010. \nDonna Haraway has argued that “the exclusion of the non-independent person” (Haraway 1997) has been constitutive for the social organization of the emerging modern sciences\, practically excluding everyone but the bourgeois white man from participating in scientific knowledge production\, in part because the multiple others were perceived as socially and emotionally bound\, attached and tied. Drawing on recent research work in Austria and the US\, this talk will look into how independence\, tielessness and detachment are essential features of the scientific self in the contemporary socio-epistemic configurations of the academic life sciences. It look at how the ideal scientific person – especially in fast growing\, highly global and increasingly commercialized fields such as the life sciences – is still imagined as being tied to nothing but science itself\, happily subordinating other interests in life to the scientific vocation. \nAgainst a backdrop of rising competition for academic positions\, it seems that in the life sciences and in academia beyond\, increasingly normative ideas are emerging about what a scientist’s life course should look like in order to qualify for a career in science. Central elements of this normative vision include engaging in international mobility and global competition\, as well as submitting to ongoing procedures of evaluation\, application and selection. Together\, these requirements constitute a kind of “blueprint” for measuring the quality of the scientists’ work and the suitability of their lives for careers in research – a blueprint which has become institutionalized in the employment and assessment policies of contemporary academic institutions. \nThese contemporary career rationales both draw on and rework the notion of the detached\, independent\, tieless scientists on a number of levels\, participating in the shaping of a nomadic\, disposable research scientist who is accumulating nothing “but the absence of inhibition\, a sort of free energy prepared to invest itself anywhere.” (Latour 1984) \nHowever\, at any given moment in time\, these scientists are also part of specific local collectives – such as research group\, project teams – in which they work and live. This paper will explore how young scientists make sense of these different forms of collectivity in their local research environments\, given the current career rationales that emphasise individualism\, competition\, mobility and tielessness. I will argue that what we are currently witnessing is a trend towards the institutionalization of highly fragile and exploitative social relations in academic settings and of a “devil-may-care” mentality towards colleagues\, groups and institutions that young scientists increasingly consider an obligatory trait for making a career in the life sciences today.

SUMMARY:Angela Davis: Legacies in the Making
DESCRIPTION:Recognizing the Academic\, Activist and Cultural Interventions of a Contemporary Visionary\nFor almost four decades\, Angela Y. Davis’s scholarship and activism has defined the meaning and practice of being a public intellectual and has radically transformed many sites of knowledge production\, including the positioning of the U.S. academy as a site of intervention and social transformation. Few professors have had such a broad impact in their fields of expertise or on the world in their lifetimes. This gathering of her former students\, in conversation with scholars nationally\, maps the impact of her vision on issues such as democratic theory\, philosophy\, Marxism\, cultural studies/popular culture\, social policy\, race\, class\, and feminisms. Professor Davis has also trained students as activist scholars for almost four decades in both university systems in California. We thus convene this conference to examine the poetics and politics of Professor Davis’s pedagogy in California over the past forty years (1969-2009) and to consider how her role as an activist-scholar-teacher bridges the academy/community divide and dismantles the false dichotomy of theory/praxis. \nOne focus of the event will be to highlight cultural production that has emerged in conversation with the writing and theorizing that Angela Davis has facilitated and inspired. We are inviting Professor Davis’ colleagues\, friends\, and family to provide video messages recognizing her considerable on-going contributions to academic and activist work; these will be compiled into a montage to be screened at the symposium. The event\, as a whole\, will be recorded\, and we plan to liaise with the California Documentary Fund to translate those records into a multi-media resource for education. There will also be an evening of music and poetry in honor of Professor Davis and her contributions to cultural “legacies in the making.” \nSaturday\, October 31\, 2009\nHumanities Lecture Hall \n9:00 am – Breakfast \n9:15 am – Screening The Fire This Time\, a trailer of a film by Blair Doroshwalther \n9:45 am – Welcome \n10:00 am – Panel 1: Voices of Resistance\nFacilitator: Rashad Shabazz\, George Washington Henderson Post Doctoral Fellow\, Geography\, University of Vermont \nW.
