SUMMARY:Engaging Precarity: A Seminar with Marcel Paret
DESCRIPTION:Inaugurating Session II of Non-citizenship\, UC Santa Cruz’s 2016-17 Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture\, labor scholar Marcel Paret of the University of Utah and University of Johannesburg leads a seminar on Guy Standing’s concept of the precariat. Professor Standing of the School of Oriental and African Studies takes part in a half-day symposium on labor mobility and precarity with Alejandro Grimson of Universidad Nacional de San Martín in Buenos Aires and Biao Xiang of the University of Oxford on Tuesday\, February 7\, 2017\, at the Merrill Cultural Center. \nSession II of Non-citizenship focuses on global labor mobility and rising precarity\, two concepts that highlight the broad and tiered spaces between citizen and non-citizen and their consequences. Linking labor mobility and precarity and holding them in dynamic tension is the notion of denizenship (residence without citizenship). Precarity—the experience of insecurity and constant risk of exclusion—is also central to the experience of many labor migrants and citizen-workers in our time. Today’s labor migrants are new denizens\, something short of full members. They are differentially incorporated into host societies that desire their labor\, but reject their presence. From Irish helots\, to Chinese “coolies\,” to Mexican Braceros\, to Silicon Valley’s high-tech guest workers\, mobile laborers with limited rights face new opportunities abroad\, along with new forms of vulnerability\, contingency\, and expendability. Meanwhile\, citizen-workers are exposed to new forms of labor precarity as social rights (for example\, education\, health care\, and retirement protection) and access to their benefits are increasingly privatized and made contingent. \n*Steve McKay\, Associate Professor of Sociology and director of the Center for Labor Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, will moderate the seminar with Professor Paret. \n  \n\nMarcel Paret is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Utah and Senior Research Associate with the South African Research Chair in Social Change at the University of Johannesburg. His research examines the politics of class formation and how they vary over time and across space. He is especially interested in globalization and marketization\, race and migration\, labor and social movements\, protest and community politics\, and the causes and consequences of precarity. He is the author of numerous articles and editor of “Politics of Precarity: Critical Engagements with Guy Standing\,” a speical issue of Global Labor Journal (Vol. 7\, No. 2 [2016]). \nSteve McKay is an internationally renowned scholar of labor\, migration\, globalization\, and race; and author of the award-winning Satanic Mills or Silicon Islands: The Politics of High-tech Production in the Philippines (Cornell University/ILR Press\, 2006) and co-editor with Sukanya Bannerjee and Aims McGuinness of New Routes for Diaspora Studies (Indiana University Press\, 2012). He is the principal investigator of Working for Dignity\, a project on low-wage labor in Santa Cruz County\, and is now working on a study of the affordable housing crisis in Santa Cruz County. In addition to serving on the CLRC Steering Committee\, he directs the Center for Labor Studies and is also a co-principal investigator of Non-citizenship. \n  \n\nPlease make sure to register here by Monday November 21\,2016.  \nAttendees are also asked to read the following essays prior to the seminar: \nGuy Standing\, “Denizens and the Precariat\,” in A Precariat Charter:  From Denizens to Citizens (London:  Bloomsbury Academic\, 2014)\, 1-32. \nMarcel Paret\, “Politics of Solidarity and Agency in an Age of Precarity\,” Global Labor Journal Vol. 7\, No. 2 (2016): 174-188. \nJudith Butler\, “Performativity\, Precarity and Sexual Politics\,” AIBR Vol. 4\, No. 3 (2009): 1-13.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Nicole Vandermeer
DESCRIPTION:“Writing Hawai’i into the Nation: Narrative Re-mapping in Mark Twain’s Letter’s s a Colonial Prelude to Annexation” \nThis portion of my dissertation project examines the 1866 letters written by Mark Twain (while dispatched by The Sacramento Union in Hawai’i) as engaged in the colonial process of cartographic incorporation by encouraging American ambitions in\, and imaginings of\, Hawai’i as a space for continuing expansion westward. In viewing the letters through the lens of cartography\, their function as re-making Hawai’i into an American space by re-drawing the imagined boundaries of the US to extend to the islands highlights the importance of narrating place as an essential step in the violence of colonial inclusion via dis-recognition of Indigenous Sovereignty. \n\nFriday Forum Fall 2016 Schedule: \nFridays 12:20-2pm\nHumanities 1 Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities. Join us for light refreshments and weekly presentations by your fellow graduate students. \nOctober 14th- Mikki Stelder\, Feminist Studies and History of Consciousness\nOctober 21st- Kali Rubaii\, Anthropology\nOctober 28th- Mitchell Winter\, HAVC\nNovember 4th- Hahkyung Darline Kim\, Film and Digital Media\nNovember 18th- Sophi Pappenheim\, Literature\nDecember 2nd- Nicole Vandermeer\, History

SUMMARY:Michael Chabon: "Moonglow"
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon (The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay\, Telegraph Avenue) for an offsite book talk and signing of Moonglow\, his first novel in four years. \nMoonglow takes the form of a grandfather’s deathbed confession to his grandson and covers the course of the 20th century. It is a novel of truth and lies\, family legends\, and existential adventure and the forces that work to destroy us. \n  \n“Chabon’s most beautifully realized novel to date …. a masterful and resounding novel of the dark and blazing forces that forged our tumultuous\, confounding\, and precious world.” —Booklist\, starred review \n“Luminous…. The story builds to core revelations of wartime horror and postwar heartbreak as powerful as they come.” —Library Journal\, starred review \n“With clean prose and a candid tone\, Chabon narrates the questionable deathbed confession of a character referred to only as ‘my grandfather.’ Although the ratio of truth to fiction in this compelling tale may never be known\, Moonglow is an engaging\, existential adventure through the speculative past of an enigmatic figure.” –Aric\, Bookshop staff \n  \nThis special offsite event\, cosponsored by UCSC’s Institute for Humanities Research\, will take place at Peace United Church\, 900 High Street\, Santa Cruz. \nTICKET PACKAGES: Ticket packages are $32.53\, and include one copy of Moonglow and two tickets to the event. Purchase tickets below (or at Bookshop)\, while supplies last. \nPurchase tickets at BookshopSantaCruz.com

SUMMARY:The Land Beneath Our Feet: A film by Sarita Siegel & Gregg Mitman
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nThe IHR Research Cluster on Race\, Violence\, Inequality\, and the Anthropocene presents \nThe Land Beneath Our Feet: A film by Sarita Siegel & Gregg Mitman \nThe Land Beneath Our Feet\, a film by Sarita Siegel & Gregg Mitman\, follows a young Liberian man\, uprooted by war\, who returns from the USA with never-before-seen footage of Liberia’s past. The uncovered footage is embraced as a national treasure. Depicting a 1926 corporate land grab\, it is also an explosive reminder of eroding land rights. In post-conflict Liberia\, individuals and communities are pitted against multinational corporations\, the government\, and each other in life-threatening disputes over land. What can this ghostly footage offer a nation\, as it debates radical land reforms that could empower communities to shape a more diverse\, stable\, and sustainable future? \nThe film showing will be followed by a conversation with Gregg Mitman & Donna Haraway. \nRSVP Here \nFor more information\, contact: mfernan3@ucsc.edu \nCo-sponsored by: Institute for Humanities Research\, Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, Center for Creative Ecologies\, Science and Justice Research Center\, and Center for Emerging Worlds \nClick here for Directions & Parking for the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) \n  \n\n  \nReading seminar with Dr. Gregg Mitman \nFilm\, Photography\, and the Scientific Record \nJanuary 10\, 2017 @ 11:30 am – 1:30 pm \nHumanities 1\, Room 210

SUMMARY:Film\, Photography\, and the Scientific Record
DESCRIPTION:The IHR Research Cluster on Race\, Violence\, Inequality\, and the Anthropocene presents \nFilm\, Photography\, and the Scientific Record\nA reading seminar with Dr. Gregg Mitman \nWe will read two chapters by Gregg Mitman and Faye Ginsburg from Documenting the World: Film\, Photography\, and the Scientific Record\, edited by Gregg Mitman and Kelley Wilder (University of Chicago Press\, 2016). Documenting the World concerns the material and social life of photographs and film made in the scientific quest to document the world. Mitman’s chapter investigates the many lives of a 1926 Harvard expedition film shot in Liberia; Ginsburg’s chapter explores the repurposing of Nazi medical films by disability activists. Both chapters examine what can happen when colonial and totalitarian impulses to collect\, classify\, and control are repurposed by those whose ancestors were once the objects of that documentary gaze. \nFor the readings and more information\, contact mfernan3@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Soma de Bourbon
DESCRIPTION:Parenting Binary Trans Children on the Edge of the Bay Area\nSoma de Bourbon\, Lecturer\, Feminist Studies \nParents feel urgency to mitigate the disproportionally high rates of depression and suicide among trans youth. There is evidence (Olson at al. 2016)that a gender-affirming environment can\, in part\, accomplish this. Many Bay Area families are gender supportive\, but is the larger Bay Area? I think we need to address the marginalization of binary trans youth of color within the non-binary movement in the Bay Area. Although the landscape of infinite gender holds radical potential for many\, it can shift\, and in some cases has shifted\, to a repressive space for some. As mother to a binary trans girl\, I watch her live in a liminal space-occupying a duality: acceptance as feminized girl when she is stealth and rejection for cissimilation when she is “out.” Both the revolutionary potential of the struggle to unbind the binary\, and its capacity to exclude individuals who pioneered its inception and continue to die for it each year\, binary trans women of color\, are issues I am interested in engaging. \n  \nSoma de Bourbon is an adjunct professor at SJSU\, De Anza College\, and UCSC. She received her Ph.D. from the History of Consciousness Department at UCSC and her B.A. from the Ethics Studies Department at UC Berkeley. Soma’s heritage is Blackfeet and French\, and she is the advisor to the Native American Student Organization at SJSU. \n  \nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Winter 2017 Schedule:\nJanuary 12th: Soma de Bourbon\, “Parenting BinaryTrans Children on the Edge of the Bay Area”\nFebruary 2nd: Mikki Stelder\, “Towards Other Scenes of speaking and Listening: Palestinian Anticolonial Queer Spatialities”\nMarch 2nd: Omid Mohamadi\, “The Iranian Women’s Movement: Rights and Difference”

SUMMARY:Northern California High School Ethics Bowl
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos: by Crystal Birns\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \n  \nWhat is an Ethics Bowl? \nThe Ethics Bowl is a collaborative yet competitive event\, more nuanced than debate\, in which teams are presented with a series of wide-ranging ethical dilemmas and are asked to analyze them; they are then judged on the basis of their analyses. An exciting tournament\, it is also a way for students to gain valuable insight into ethical and philosophical issues. According to Michael Steinmann\, director of the Stevens Institute High School Ethics Bowl\, the events promote intellectual\, personal\, and social growth. They deepen students’ understanding of the complexity of ethical issues; increase their sense of personal responsibility; and promote a model of rational\, civil discourse so essential to functioning democracies. \nDuring each round\, a moderator poses a question to two teams composed of five students and the competition follows a predetermined format encompassing team order and time limitations. All teams receive the cases and questions in fall so that they can prepare their responses with their coaches. The panel of judges includes not only those with philosophy backgrounds but businesspeople\, politicians\, and members of various professions in the community to underscore the fact that ethics is not simply an academic subject. We will also invite the press to attend. Each team will have the opportunity to compete in several rounds to advance to the semifinals and then the championship round. The winners of the competition (and their schools) will receive special recognition. \nThe ethical dilemmas used in a high school ethics bowl range from those particularly relevant to young students (questions about cheating\, plagiarism\, peer pressure\, use and abuse of social media\, the right to privacy\, relationship responsibilities) to political and social issues (free speech\, gun control\, eco-tourism) and bioethical issues (cloning\, parental consent). \nSchedule: \n7:45-8:00am – Judge’s Check-In (Humanities Room 210)\n8:00-8:45am – Team Check-In (Humanities Lecture Hall); Judge’s and Moderator’s Training\n8:45-8:55am – Welcome\n9:00-10:00am – Round 1\n10:15–11:15am – Round 2\n11:30-12:30pm – Round 3\n12:30-1:45pm – Lunch\n1:45-2:00pm – Announce Semi-Finalists\n2:00-3:00pm – Semi-Final Round\n3:15-4:15pm – Final Round \nNorthern California High School Ethics Bowl will take place on the UCSC campus on January 14\, 2017.\nPlease contact Kyle Robertson at kxrobert@ucsc.edu for further information.

SUMMARY:Wiring Gaia at the Water-Energy Nexus: Indigenous Water Guardians and Decolonizing Water Science
DESCRIPTION:As emblematized by the ongoing protests at Standing Rock\, water is a foundational element—biophysical\, epistemological\, and spiritual—in Indigenous societies and lifeways. This crucial life source has come under increased threat due to the claimed necessity of extractivist development projects which impact the lives of all of our relations: human and more-than-human. In North America\, energy extraction has accelerated processes of accumulation by dispossession\, in a context of “light touch” regulation in which threats to water are scantily monitored\, under-regulated\, and under-reported\, creating new and significant breaches of Indigenous rights. \nTuesday\, January 24th from 11:40-1:15 in the Rachel Carson College room 301. \nOur collective is beginning a large\, seven year research project (decolonizingwater.ca) through which we are creating Indigenous-led water monitoring systems embedded in Indigenous water laws\, as an expression of Indigenous self-governance. This raises a series of questions about the desirability and possibility of decolonizing water science; resurgent Indigenous self-governance in Canada’s north; the challenges posed to the nation-state by legal pluralism and parallel governance structures. More broadly\, our initiative unfolds within the set of possibilities opened up by big data and eco-informatics in the Anthropocene\, in which “Wiring Gaia” creates new openings for science\, democratic decision-making\, and Indigenous self-determination in Canada’s North. How might an “Internet of Earthlings” be co-constituted\, and what possibilities (and pitfalls) might it create for all of our relations? \nBio: Dr. Karen Bakker is Professor\, Canada Research Chair\, and Director of the Program on Water Governance at the University of British Columbia (www.watergovernance.ca). She is currently the midwife (aka Principal Investigator) to a research collective of Indigenous community members\, academics\, artists\, activists who are striving to decolonize water in both theory and practice (www.decolonizingwater.ca). A Rhodes Scholar with a PhD from Oxford\, Karen is trained in both the natural and social sciences. She currently works at the intersection of political economy and political ecology\, and publishes on a wide range of environmental issues (water\, hydropower\, food\, energy). \nCo-sponsored by the IHR Research Cluster on Race\, Violence\, Inequality and the Anthropocene and the Science and Justice Research Center.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Sarah Papazoglakis
DESCRIPTION:American Philanthropy and “Aggressive Altruism” in Richard Wright’s Native Son and Miguel Angel Asturias’ The Green Pope \nMy dissertation interrogates the narrative power of American philanthropy in the story of the United States’ rise as a global superpower in the twentieth century. For this presentation\, I will present an excerpt of a chapter that considers how philanthropy permeates representations of hemispheric American relationships in the interwar period. I read Richard Wright’s Native Son (1940) and Miguel Angel Asturias’s El Papa Verde (1952) that center the “Black Metropolis” as the financial engine of the United States and the nucleus of transnational corporate expansion. \nFriday Forum Winter quarter 2017 Schedule: \nFridays 12:20-2pm\nHumanities 1 Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Mikki Stelder
DESCRIPTION:Towards Other Scenes of Speaking and Listening: Palestinian Anticolonial Queer Spatialities\nMikki Stelder\, Visiting Scholar \nIn 2010\, Palestinian Queers for Boycott\, Divestment and Sanctions called upon international queer communities to support the Palestinian calls for BDS. My dissertation emerged as one way to respond. First\, I lay out the terms within which scholars and activists have engaged with PQBDS’ call and conditions of possibility within which responses emerged. Secondly\, I discuss an event that undermined the logics of settler colonialism and sexual imperialism in Israel/Palestine: In 2011\, three Palestinian queer groups engaged in email conversation with the International Gay and Lesbian Youth and Student Organization (IGLYO) about its decision to host its General Assembly in Tel Aviv. IGLYO went ahead with its plans\, but invited the groups to a public debate with an Israeli LGBT group cohosting the GA. The Palestinian groups refused and then publicized their email correspondence with IGLYO. Viewing these decisions as a politics of refusal\, I ask what other practices endure under Israeli occupation and alter the terms of Israel/Palestine engagement. \n  \nMikki Stelder is a PhD Candidate at the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis at the University of Amsterdam. She is a visiting scholar at UCSC in the History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies Department under the auspices and guidance of Gina Dent. She also teaches Feminist and Postcolonial Critique to choreography students at the School for New Dance Development\, Amsterdam. \n  \n\nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Winter 2017 Schedule:\nJanuary 12th: Soma de Bourbon\, “Parenting BinaryTrans Children on the Edge of the Bay Area”\nFebruary 2nd: Mikki Stelder\, “Towards Other Scenes of speaking and Listening: Palestinian Anticolonial Queer Spatialities”\nMarch 2nd: Omid Mohamadi\, “The Iranian Women’s Movement: Rights and Difference”

SUMMARY:Christopher Newfield: "After the Great Mistake: Fixing Public Universities in the Trump Administration"
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Newfield’s (Professor of literature and American studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara) new book\, “The Great Mistake\,“ shows how privatization has weakened the educational quality and the budgetary stability of public universities and wrecked their true public mission.  But how can they recover during an administration that promises to accelerate privatization in every arena? Newfield argues that universities should use this period to rebuild their public purpose from the ground up\, with special attention to the non-college voters that allegedly turned the election towards Donald J. Trump. \nCo-Sponsored by the Center for Cultural Studies and the Santa Cruz Faculty Association.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Rachel Shellabarger
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Happy cows: Change and Sustainability in California Dairies  \nCalifornia dairy advertisements often feature happy cows\, but they mask social and environmental concerns over industrial milk production. Currently\, California dairy producers face a mix of challenges with severe drought\, regulation of methane emissions from cows\, uncertain changes in milk pricing policies\, and future implementation of more robust framework labor laws. These converging pressures challenge the industrial mode of dairy production utilized by many California dairies\, and may pave a path toward sustainable transformation. In this talk I focus on whose interests are represented as this heavily industrialized sector responds to social and environmental pressures\, and what this means for future sustainability of the sector. \nFriday Forum Winter quarter 2017 Schedule: \nFridays 12:20-2pm\nHumanities 1 Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Labor Mobility and Precarity: A Seminar with Guy Standing\, Alejandro Grimson\, and Biao Xiang
DESCRIPTION:Precarity\, the experience of insecurity and constant risk of exclusion\, is central to the experience of many labor migrants and citizen-workers in our time. Session II of Non-citizenship\, UC Santa Cruz’s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Sawyer Seminar\, focuses on precarity\, labor mobility\, and denizenship (the status of being a denizen or inhabitant\, as opposed to a full citizen)\, concepts that highlight the tiered and sometimes overlapping spaces between citizen and non-citizen. Juan Poblete will moderate the seminar with Guy Standing\, Alejandro Grimson\, and Biao Xiang as they discuss migrants\, denizens\, and the precariat in Europe\, the Americas\, and Asia. This seminar\, while self-standing and based on pre-circulated readings\, is meant in preparation for our symposium\, “Labor Mobility and Precarity on a Global Scale\,” to be held Tuesday\, February 7\, 2017\, 12:00-5:30pm\, at the Stevenson Event Center. \n  \nPlease check back to access the pre-circulated readings. \n  \nLunch will be served. \n  \nPlease register here prior to attending the seminar. \n  \nAlejandro Grimson\, an expert on south-south migration\, is dean of the School of Social Sciences at Universidad Nacional de San Martín in Buenos Aires\, Argentina.

Mellon Foundation Sawyer Seminar. His broad and myriad research interests include nineteenth-century Latin American literature\, nation and nationalism\, and popular culture in the Americas. His most recent publications include Sports and Nationalism in Latin America (with Héctor Fernández L’Hoeste and Robert McKee-Irwin\, Palgrave\, 2015) and Humor in Latin American Cinema (with Juana Suárez\, Palgrave\, 2016). \nGuy Standing\, Professor of Development Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London\, is a scholar of labor\, globalization\, citizenship\, and social movements. His most recent books include A Precariat Charter: From Denizens to Citizens (Bloomsbury Academic Press\, 2014) and The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class (Bloomsbury Academic Press\, 2011). From 1999 until March 2006\, he was director of the Socio-Economic Security Programme of the International Labour Organisation in Geneva\, Switzerland. \nBiao Xiang\, Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Oxford\, specializes in labor\, migration\, and social change in Asia. An ethnographer\, he has studied migration from rural China to Beijing\, migrant Indian information technology engineers in Australia\, and unskilled labor migration from China to Japan\, South Korea\, and Singapore.

SUMMARY:Labor Mobility and Precarity on a Global Scale: A Symposium with Guy Standing\, Alejandro Grimson\, and Biao Xiang (Non-citizenship Series)
DESCRIPTION:Event Videos:\n \nLabor Mobility and Precarity on a Global Scale: Guy Standing from IHR on Vimeo. \n \nLabor Mobility and Precarity on a Global Scale: Alejandro Grimson 2.7.17 from IHR on Vimeo. \n \nLabor Mobility and Precarity on a Global Scale: Biao Xiang from IHR on Vimeo. \n  \nEvent Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \nThis symposium explores how global labor mobility and rising precarity affect and connect the experiences of citizens and non-citizens. Precarity\, the experience of insecurity and constant risk of exclusion\, is central to the experience of many labor migrants and citizen-workers in our time. Today’s labor migrants are new denizens—residents or inhabitants who are not quite full members of society. They are incorporated into societies that desire their labor\, but reject their very presence. Meanwhile\, citizen-workers are exposed to new forms of vulnerability as social rights\, such as education\, health care\, and retirement\, are increasingly privatized\, made contingent\, or dissolved altogether. In such contexts\, a majority of British voters demand Brexit and Donald Trump is elected president with the mandate to “make America great again.” \nTo prepare for this symposium\, Guy Standing\, Alejandro Grimson\, and Biao Xiang will take part in a seminar on labor mobility and precarity on Monday\, February 6\, 12:00-2:00\, in Humanities 1\, Room 210. \n  \nPlease register here prior to attending the February 7th symposium. \n  \nSymposium Schedule:\n12:00-12:20pm – Lunch\n12:20-1:50pm – Guy Standing (School of Oriental & African Studies): “The Precariat: The New Denizens” + Q&A\n1:50-2:05pm – Coffee break\n2:05-3:35pm – Alejandro Grimson (Universidad Nacional de San Martín): “The Waste Product of Globalization’s Party” + Q&A\n3:35-3:50pm – Coffee break\n3:50-5:20pm – Biao Xiang (University of Oxford): “The Other Precariat: Notes from Asia” + Q&A \n  \nSpeakers:\nAlejandro Grimson\, an expert on south-south migration\, is dean of the School of Social Sciences at Universidad Nacional de San Martín in Buenos Aires\, Argentina. He is the author of many books\, including Relatos de la diferencia y la igualdad: los bolivianos en Buenos Aires (Eudeba\, 1999) and Los límites de la cultura: crítica de las teorías de la identidad (Siglo XXI Argentina\, 2011)\, winner of the Latin American Studies Association’s Premio Iberoamericano for best book of the year. \nJuan Poblete is Professor of Literature and Co-principal Investigator of Non-citizenship\, UC Santa Cruz’s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Sawyer Seminar. His broad and myriad research interests include nineteenth-century Latin American literature\, nation and nationalism\, and popular culture in the Americas.

SUMMARY:Faculty Research Lecture with Sandra Chung: “Language Through the Lens of Diversity”
DESCRIPTION:Academic Senate 51st Annual Faculty Research Lecture Honors:\nProfessor Sandra Chung \n  \n“Language Through the Lens of Diversity.” \nThe ease and efficiency with which children acquire their first language(s) reveals that the capacity to know and use language is deeply human. It also raises the possibility that all languages have the same design–universal characteristics that make language acquisition possible. Are these views challenged by the great diversity of the world’s languages? In this talk\, Sandra Chung explores this question from the perspective of Chamorro\, an understudied language spoken in Micronesia. She suggests that while language diversity is real\, language universals emerge when ‘small’ languages are investigated in the same depth as first-world languages. \n  \nAbout the Faculty Research Lecture: The Faculty Research Lecture started in 1967. Lecturers are nominated by the Committee on Faculty Research Lecture based on a distinguished record in research and asked to deliver a lecture upon a topic of their choice.

SUMMARY:Professor Emeritus Andrew Cohen: "Enhancing the Role of Pragmatics in Teacher Education"
DESCRIPTION:Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics Presents \nProfessor Emeritus Andrew Cohen\nEnhancing the Role of Pragmatics in Teacher Education \nWednesday\, February 8\n210 Humanities Bldg 1\n5:15PM \nLight refreshments will be served \nThe talk starts with the premise that for many target-language (TL) learners\, the actual learning process consists of the rote memorization of lots of vocabulary and grammar rules\, sometimes or even often without the knowledge of how to make appropriate use of this information in actual communicative situations. The talk will highlight certain specific areas in TL pragmatics that are teachable but often neglected in TL instruction\, as well as some of the challenges involved in teaching this information. The talk will also include brief comment regarding the assessment of the pragmatics that is taught and strategies for students in the learning and performance of pragmatics. The speaker has been studying his 12th TL (Mandarin) for the last five years\, so he can speak from experience about pragmatic failures.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Kyuhyun Han
DESCRIPTION:Sewing the Forest like a state: Forest Management\, Wildlife Conservation\, and Center-Periphery Relations in Northeast China\, 1949 – 1965 \nMy research aims to counter the prevalent premise that Mao-era China (1945-1976) was devoid of environmental consciousness or concern with environmental protection\, and places Chinese policy in the context of the international development of environmental consciousness during that time. It will show the ways in which early Mao-Era Chinese scientists actively participated in and were influenced by the global discussion of pollution\, extinction\, natural conservation\, and biodiversity. It also traces incipient state-initiated conversation policies in the early 1960s. I will explore the ways in which center- periphery tensions and the role of local indigenous people reflected and altered state-initiated conversation policy\, which led to a devastating loss of biodiversity in Heilongjiang province. \n\n\nFriday Forum Winter quarter 2017 Schedule: \nFridays 12:20-2pm\nHumanities 1 Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities. Join us for light refreshments and weekly presentations by your fellow graduate students. \nJanuary 27\, 2017: Sarah Papazoglakis\, Literature \nFebruary 03\, 2017: Rachel Shellabarger\, Environmental Studies \nFebruary 10\, 2017: Kyuhyun Han\, History \nFebruary 17\, 2017: Yulia Gilchinskaya\, Film & Digital Media \nFebruary 24\, 2017: Maggie Wander\, HAVC \nMarch 3\, 2017: Chessa Adsit-Morris\, HAVC

SUMMARY:Philosophy@Work: Entrepreneurship and Data Analysis in Educational Consulting and Applied Ethics
DESCRIPTION:Philosophy@Work: Entrepreneurship and Data Analysis in Educational Consulting and Applied Ethics \nAre you interested in learning more about how graduate training in the humanities can lead to successful and intellectually stimulating careers in consulting? Consulting is an expansive and evolving field\, one that many values-driven PhDs are currently shaping by challenging organizational tenets based on profit-motive. PhD alumni in Philosophy Ben Roome and Jake Metcalf discuss how their doctorates prepared them to become independent and influential consultant-scholars in the fields of data analysis and management\, (educational) technology\, and applied ethics. They’ll also address the ways in which their experiences as UCSC PhDs continue to influence the type of work they accept\, seek out\, and perform\, and how such decisions influence their career trajectories in general. Jacob (Jake) Metcalf is a consultant and independent scholar specializing in data and technology ethics. Ben Roome is an entrepreneur\, an ed tech and data ethics consultant\, a researcher and data analyst. \n  \nLunch will be served\, as always. \n  \nPhD+ Workshop Series\nPlease join us for the second year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by the Institute for Humanities Research. We will meet monthly\, over lunch\, to discuss: possible career paths for PhDs\, internship possibilities\, grants/fellowships\, work/life balance\, elements of style\, online identity issues\, and much\, much more. \n  \nPlease RSVP below.\nLoading…

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Yulia Gilichinskaya
DESCRIPTION:Israel and Palestine: The Landscape of Separation \nThe Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank not only live under the occupation of Israel but also\, contained behind the Wall that Israel erected\, populate a space of physical\, social\, and cultural isolation. The Wall severs communities\, people’s access to services\, livelihoods and religious and cultural amenities. It fragments not only the land\, but also the very social fabric of the Palestinian people. \nIn search for a landscape of hope\, Yulia Gilichinskaya through her research and artwork looks for way to subvert the walls and barriers\, address the issue of separation\, and to amend the dictated borders imposed on the Palestinians. \nFriday Forum Winter quarter 2017 Schedule: \nFridays 12:20-2pm\nHumanities 1 Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

SUMMARY:Sturt Manning: "Tree-Rings and Radiocarbon in the East Mediterranean and Near East"
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Society of the Archaeological Institute of America Presents: \n  \nProfessor Sturt Manning \nDepartment of Classics\, Cornell University \n  \nTree-Rings and Radiocarbon in the East Mediterranean and Near East: Creating an Independent\, Robust and Precise Timeframe for Archaeology and History \nProfessor Manning will discuss his efforts to combine radiocarbon (C14) and dendrochronology (tree-ring dating) to rewrite the chronologies of the civilizations of the Bronze and Early Iron Age eastern Mediterranean. His original and fundamental work has forced a reassessment of some of the linchpin events of this period\, including the famous eruption of the Santorini volcano (which some scholars had linked to the end of the Minoan civilization) and the chronology of Mesopotamia. \n  \nSturt Manning is Goldwin Smith Professor of Classical Archaeology in the Department of Classics at Cornell University and Director of the Cornell Tree Ring Laboratory. He is internationally known for his work in archaeological science\, above all in dendrochronology and radiocarbon chronology. He has published many articles and books\, including A Test of Time: The Volcano of Thera and the Chronology and History of the Aegean and East Mediterranean in the mid Second Millennium BC (second edition 2014). \n  \nOpen to the public. Refreshments will be at 4:30 p.m. and a reception will follow the lecture. \n  \nFor more information on the lecture\, please contact hedrick@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:I Am Not Your Negro - Film Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:I Am Not Your Negro\, is an award-winning documentary on the life and writings of James Baldwin.\nOpens at the Del Mar Theater in Santa Cruz on Friday February 17th. \nIn 1979\, James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his next project\, Remember This House\, which was to be a revolutionary\, personal account of three assassinated leaders who were also his close friends—Medgar Evers\, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King\, Jr. At the time of Baldwin’s death in 1987\, he left behind only thirty completed pages of his manuscript. Now\, in his incendiary new documentary\, master filmmaker Raoul Peck (Sometimes in April\, Lumumba) envisions the book James Baldwin never finished. Using only Baldwin’s words\, either spoken by the man himself or read by Samuel L. Jackson\, and a flood of rich archival material\, Peck has crafted a radical\, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America. I Am Not Your Negro is a poetic\, eloquent and thought-provoking journey into black history that connects the past of the Civil Rights movement to the present of #BlackLivesMatter; it is a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands for. Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary Feature. \nPanel:\nBrenda J. Griffin\, President\, NAACP Santa Cruz\nDavid Anthony\, Professor of History\, UCSC\nBettina Aptheker\, Professor of Feminist Studies\, UCSC\nRonaldo Wilson\, Professor of Literature & Creative Writing\, UCSC\nVicki Fabbri\, Communication Studies\, Cabrillo College\nMichael Pebworth\, Professor of History\, Cabrillo College \nFilm screening begins at 7:10pm\, with a panel discussion following at 9pm.

SUMMARY:Dark Deleuze in the Dark
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Culp’s Dark Deleuze (University of Minnesota Press\, 2016) offers a radical reinterpretation of the theorist Gilles Deleuze that challenges today’s world of compulsory happiness\, decentralized control\, and overexposure. Arranged in a series of contraries\, Culp’s cataclysmic politics exhorts us to kill our idols and cultivate “hatred for this world.” \n“Dark Deleuze in the Dark” is a conceptual conversation conducted in the dark with Professor Culp that addresses themes from his work on interruption\, un-becoming\, and escape. In our age of ubiquitous connectivity\, joy\, and self-disclosure\, how might darkness help us to cast a line to the outside? As Culp argued in a recent interview\, “A revolution that emerges from the darkness holds the apocalyptic potential of ending the world as we know it.” \nThis event is organized by INTERVAL and hosted by OpenLab with support from Film & Digital Media\, Digital Arts & New Media\, and the Arts Division at UCSC. INTERVAL is a space dedicated to interdisciplinary play and experimentation of art practice and scholarship. \nRefreshments provided. \nAndrew Culp is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Emerging Media and Communication at the University of Texas\, Dallas.

SUMMARY:Loess is More: A Spatial and Ecological History of Erosion on Imperial China's Northwest Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Loess is More: A Spatial and Ecological History of Erosion on Imperial China’s Northwest Frontier\nRuth Mostern \n  \nAbstract: Beginning in the eleventh century\, the Yellow River shifted from a long-term condition of relative stability to a later state of frequent floods and course changes. In recent years\, environmental scientists and historians have converged on a set of insights about the timing and processes that brought about these changes. All of the evidence confirms that the primary cause of upstream erosion and downstream flooding was the intensification of human activity in the grasslands of the Ordos basin\, the loess soil region contained within the great bend of the Yellow River. This paper introduces environmental science research about the long history of human impacts on the loess plateau during the entire Holocene. In addition it uses historical sources\, spatial analysis and soil science to focus particular particular attention on the northern and western Ordos region during the eleventh century\, explaining why these decades created a tipping point in social and ecological life in north China. \n  \nLunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Susanna Schellenberg "Perceptual Consciousness as a Mental Activity"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nI argue that perceptual consciousness is constituted by a mental activity. The mental activity in question is the activity of employing perceptual capacities\, such as discriminatory\, selective capacities. This is a radical view\, but I hope to make it plausible. In arguing for this mental activist view\, I reject orthodox views on which perceptual consciousness is analyzed in terms of (sensory awareness relations to) peculiar entities\, such as\, phenomenal properties\, external mind-independent properties\, propositions\, sense-data\, qualia\, or intentional objects. \nAbout:\nSusanna Schellenberg is a Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University and an Executive Council Faculty Member of the Rutgers University Center for Cognitive Science. Her work focuses on a range of topics in epistemology\, philosophy of mind\, and philosophy of language. She is particularly interested in the nature of perceptual content\, the epistemic role of perceptual experience\, and mental capacities.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Maggie Wander
DESCRIPTION:“Its Ok\,  We’re Safe Here”: Cultural and Eco Activism in the Film Windjarrameru (The Stealing C*nt$) \nSince 2008\, the Karrabing Film Collective has made four films about the various cultural\, political\, and social realists of being Aboriginal in twenty-first century Australia. Their 2015 film\, Windjarrameru (The Stealing C*nt$)\, highlights how social inequalities experienced every day in Aboriginal communities are inseparable from environmental destruction. Both issues are intertwined in Australia’s colonial history; due to the centrality of landscape and environment in Aboriginal worldviews and identities\, the destruction of the former necessarily impacts the latter. Windjarrameru responds to this colonial legacy by subverting ethnographic representations of Aboriginal peoples and the Australian landscape\, while the role of ancestral spirits makes visible the impact of mining on the living beings in this landscape. \nFriday Forum Winter quarter 2017 Schedule: \nFridays 12:20-2pm\nHumanities 1 Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

SUMMARY:Cultural Studies Talk with Erick Lyle: "Streetopia and Beyond"
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Cultural Studies Presents: \nStreetopia and Beyond\nA Talk by Eric Lyle \n3-5 pm\nMonday\, February 27\nHumanities 1\, 210 \nWhat does community control look like? How do we organize to build power on a neighborhood level today? In the new Trump Era\, cities like Los Angeles\, New York\, and San Francisco have rushed to reassure that their governments intend to oppose new restrictive federal immigration policies and to reinforce these cities’ status as Sanctuary Cities. But as homeless sweeps and evictions continue to endanger communities of working class and people of color\, we have to ask what does “sanctuary” mean in the era of rampant displacement? Author Erick Lyle suggests the path to resisting Trump Administration policies lies in doubling down on existing anti-gentrification efforts and organizing on a hyperlocal basis to seize community control of development\, housing\, planning\, and utilities. Join Lyle for a discussion of the possibilities for resistance in neighborhood organizing and for a look at the author’s work on Streetopia\, a massive anti-gentrification art fair that took place in San Francisco in 2012\, and brought together residents of the city’s Tenderloin with over a hundred artists and activists to actualize mutual aid-based community projects and to consider utopian aspiration for the city. \nErick Lyle is a writer\, curator\, musician\, and underground journalist. His work has appeared in Art in America\, Vice\, California Sunday Magazine\, Huck\, LA Weekly\, Brooklyn Rail\, and on NPR’s This American Life. Since 1991\, he has written\, edited\, and published the influential punk/activist/art/crime magazine\, SCAM\, and he was a frequent contributor to the arts and literary section of the San Francisco Bay Guardian. He has played on some 30 records by at least a dozen bands.  He currently lives in Brooklyn\, NY.

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Omid Mohamadi
DESCRIPTION:The Iranian Women’s Movement: Rights and Difference\nOmid Mohamadi\, Lecturer\, Feminist Studies \nMy talk centers on the Irania women’s movement and the One Million Signatures Campaign that seeks equal rights for all Iranian women within the laws of the Islamic Republic. Focusing on the campaign’s central text\, The Effect of Laws on Women’s Lives\, and activists’ testimonies\, I show how the Iranian women’s movement appeals to (and also challenges) multiple sites simultaneously\, and highlight and critique scholars who subscribe to a shared historical narrative suggesting that the current unity between secular and religious feminists is evidence that the women’s movement has superseded a century of internecine conflict and possibly ideology itself. One must also look at the internal logic of rights themselves and their ability to either imperil or strengthen social movements. I argue that two central facets of rights coupled with two historical development after the 1979 Revolution are responsible for the recent rights-based activism of Iranian feminist\, and conclude by thinking through the politics of difference within the movement\, especially claims of radical alterity that fray when confronted with the complex relationship between secularism and religion. \n  \nOmid Mohamadi earned his Ph.D. in Politics at UCSC with a Designated Emphasis in Feminist Studies. Focusing on contemporary Iran\, his research utilizes feminist and political theory to explore interrelated questions on religion\, secularism\, gender\, rights\, the state\, art\, and social movements. \n  \n\nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Winter 2017 Schedule:\nJanuary 12th: Soma de Bourbon\, “Parenting BinaryTrans Children on the Edge of the Bay Area”\nFebruary 2nd: Mikki Stelder\, “Towards Other Scenes of speaking and Listening: Palestinian Anticolonial Queer Spatialities”\nMarch 2nd: Omid Mohamadi\, “The Iranian Women’s Movement: Rights and Difference”

SUMMARY:Audun Dahl: The Empirical Reality of Moral Reasoning
DESCRIPTION:Many theories have viewed reason and reasoning as essential to making moral judgments. In contrast\, recent psychological proposals have contested the centrality of reasoning\, arguing that most or many moral judgments are based on automatic\, emotional reactions (sometimes termed “institutions\,” e.g. Greene\, 2013; Haidt 2013). These proposals are based on experiments taken to show that people are sometimes unable to justify their moral evaluations and that such evaluations are sensitive to factors presumed morally irrelevant. In this talk\, I will argue that these studies have a number of methodological and theoretical limitations. Research without these limitations\, for instance on responses to so-called trolley dilemmas\, indicates that reasoning plays important roles when individuals make moral judgments. Furthermore\, this research suggests a realistic view of moral reasoning that is not premised on the dichotomy between reasoning and emotional reactions. \nAbout:\nAudun Dahl is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at UC Santa Cruz. His research investigates early moral development. One line of work deals with the emergence of infant helping behavior and a second line deals with how young children acquire an aversion to harming others. His research combines naturalistic and experimental methods to study how infants’ everyday social interactions contribute to these developments.

SUMMARY:The Center for Emerging Worlds presents Subversive Sounds: Music and Politics of the Global South
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Emerging Worlds presents \nSubversive Sounds: Music and Politics of the Global South \nFriday March 3\, 2017\nHumanities 2\, Room 359\nUC Santa Cruz\nThe event is free and open to the public \nDuring the final decades of the major European empires and at the beginning of a century of American hegemony\, the advent of electrical sound recording\, and the spread of the radio broadcasting gramophone records generated new spaces and modalities of cultural circulation and political discourse. Port cities around the globe\, in particular\, produced hybrid musical forms that inspired imitators and innovators elsewhere. From the end of World War I to the present\, new telecommunications technologies have served as instruments of power\, means of manufacturing consent\, and media of political and commercial colonization\, while vernacular musics and recordings of political speeches and sermons have carried insurgent\, otherworldly visions in opposition to empire. While textuality\, printed media\, and visual culture conventionally receive more attention\, this daylong conference foregrounds soundscapes and the anticolonial audiopolitics of the Global South. \n10:00 AM\nMarc Matera (UC Santa Cruz) – Opening Remarks \n10:30 AM-12:15 PM\nAlejandra Bronfman (University of British Columbia)\n“Drums\, Mines\, Coils\, Voices: Histories of Media and Materiality”\n–       Discussion Comments by Katherine Gordy (San Francisco State University) \n12:15 PM-1:30PM Lunch \n1:30 PM-3:15 PM\nMichael Denning (Yale University)\n“‘A Noisy Heaven and a Syncopated Earth’: The Transcolonial Reverberations of Vernacular Phonograph Music”\n–       Discussion Comments by Eric Porter (UC Santa Cruz) \n3:30 PM-5:00 PM\nClosing Roundtable with Michael Denning\, Alejandra Bronfman\, Eric Porter\, and David Anthony (UC Santa Cruz) \nFor more information\, contact sjetha@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Chessa Adsit-Morries
DESCRIPTION:Creative Ecologies of Practice: Collaborative Agential Modes of Eco-Aesthetic Pedagogy \nThis presentation will discuss two collaborative environmental art projects aimed at creating experimental and experiential trans-disciplinary pedagogical practices. Both projects are examples of “creative ecologies of practice” enabling and requiring multiple modes of thought\, multiple modes of encounter\, and multiple modes of pedagogy. They are imaginative and speculative\, require resonance and creative response\, and include practices and discourses of eco-aesthetics to foster sites of refuge\, sites of agency and cities response-ablitiy. They enable collaborative inquires into urgent social\, political and ecological challenges\, exploring elements that help to activate\, integrate and support collaborative endeavors that challenge current (neoliberal capitalistic) representations\, foster (multi species) agency and create new knowledge(s). \nFriday Forum Winter quarter 2017 Schedule: \nFridays 12:20-2pm\nHumanities 1 Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

This era\, where human disturbances asymmetrically affect all ecosystems\, is increasingly being called the ‘Anthropocene.’ We approach Anthropocene conditions as inextricably linked to long-term histories of plant and animal domestication\, and to more recent histories of European colonialism\, transatlantic slavery and capitalism. Via a year-long slow seminar and a series of public events\, we hope to enrich conversations about the Anthropocene – as term\, concept\, and historical era – by bringing together diverse bodies of scholarship\, in particular decolonial and postcolonial theory. This re-politicizes the Anthropocene as an object of study\, making race and empire\, capitalism and colonialism\, and social inequality and violence central to the story of ecological transformation. \nSEMINAR 2: \nTuesday March 7th\, 1-3pm\nHumanities 1\, Room 408 \nSeminar readings: \nElizabeth Povinelli\, Geontologies: A Requiem to Late Liberalism (Duke University Press\, 2016) \nNB: We will be reading the whole book. Copies have been ordered at the Literary Guillotine and can be purchased there. \nSponsored by the IHR Research Cluster on Race\, Violence\, Inequality and the Anthropocene

SUMMARY:Zachary Lockman: "Adventures in Field-Building: On the History of Area Studies/Middle East Studies in the United States”
DESCRIPTION:Area studies is often simplistically depicted as little more than a Cold War form of knowledge\, but its emergence as a component of the postwar American academic scene was in fact propelled and shaped by visions\, exigencies and contingencies that were not initially or exclusively about the needs of the national security state. Zachary Lockman’s 2016 book Field Notes: The Making of Middle East Studies in the United States draws on extensive archival research to offer a different perspective on the origins and trajectory of area studies in the United States and to explore how the field of Middle East studies in the United States was actually built. The book’s focus is not on intellectual paradigms or scholarly output but rather on funding decisions and their rationales\, efforts to elaborate a distinctive theory and method for area studies\, the anxieties these efforts generated for Middle East studies\, and the unanticipated consequences of building these new academic fields. \nZachary Lockman has taught modern Middle Eastern history at New York University since 1995. His most recent book is Field Notes: The Making of Middle East Studies in the United States (2016). His other books include Contending Visions of the Middle East: The History and Politics of Orientalism (2004/2010); Comrades and Enemies: Arab and Jewish Workers in Palestine\, 1906-1948 (1996); and (with Joel Beinin) Workers on the Nile: Nationalism\, Communism\, Islam\, and the Egyptian Working Class\, 1882-1954 (1987). He is a former president of the Middle East Studies Association\, chairs the wing of MESA’s Committee on Academic Freedom that deals with North America\, and is a contributing editor of Middle East Report.

SUMMARY:Poetics of Non-Citizenship: A Seminar with Urayoán Noel
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar\, Urayoán Noel will discuss his critical work on the nexus of creative expression and political activism\, from the 1960s to the present. He is interested in the subversive power of media\, performance\, and especially of English-Spanish-Spanglish language play\, which cuts across different Latina/o/x constituencies. One dimension of his research involves the use of social media among activist DREAMers and in the Haitian-Dominican context\, expressed in the #Latinx hashtag and Dominican Twitter. Another thread considers “eccentric archives of the Latina/o Sixties” by comparing two poetic movements\, the Royal Chicano Air Force and El Puerto Rican Embassy. Although centered in California and New York respectively\, both groups of poet-performers imagined sites of organization outside the nation-state: “Califas” and “Nuyorico.” Finally\, Professor Noel considers the changing work of the space of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe from the 1970s to the present\, from anti-gentrification to anti-globalization movements. \nPastries\, coffee\, and tea will be served. \n  \nPlease register here prior to attending this event. \n  \nUrayoán Noel is a self-described “stateless poet” whose critical and creative work foregrounds the messy condition of Puerto Rican belonging and non-belonging in and to the U.S. nation-state.

SUMMARY:Ideology & Identity in the Revival of Spoken Hebrew
DESCRIPTION:The revival of Spoken Hebrew took place in Palestine in the early 20 th century\, and is often seen as a historically unique example of successful language revival. In this talk I suggest that Hebrew is also exemplary\, of the ways in which our languages speak through us. What is special about Hebrew is that key properties of the revival process – its rapidity and recency – make it possible to track mechanisms by which broader ideologies (of nation\, ancestry\, class\, gender\, etc.) come to be embedded in the languages we speak. The talk will focus on East-West diasporic dynamics in the negotiation of accent for the new spoken Hebrew\, and on the shifting values of authenticity and sincerity in the construction of the new native-born speech style. \nReception to follow the lecture \nFor more info contact Peter Reed pmreed@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:Critical Conversations in Cultural Heritage
DESCRIPTION:3rd Annual Research Conference  \nFree and Open to the Public\nAdvance Registration Required \nAppeals to “heritage” have become increasingly common and visible in recent decades. Whether within the realms of the promotion and re-creation of history\, claims to sovereignty\, protection of landscapes and climate\, or economic development\, connection to the past is often utilized as a demonstration of legitimacy and authority. Making sense of these diverse appeals to heritage and the many ways that the past becomes meaningfully constituted in the present is a challenge. This is due both to the complexity of the issues as well as the fact that heritage scholars tend to be widely scattered between departments and disciplines. To address these challenges our conference at the University of California\, Santa Cruz will bring together an interdisciplinary community of scholars to discuss current research and evaluate future directions for this rapidly growing\, yet still decentralized\, field of study. \nKeynote Speaker\nJane Lydon\, University of Western Australia \nSpeakers\nJane Anderson\, New York University \nSony Atalay\, University of Massachusetts \nJon Daehnke\, UC Santa Cruz \nRobin Gray\, UC Santa Cruz \nRichard Leventhal\, University of Pennsylvania \nAmy Lonetree\, UC Santa Cruz \nKathryn Lafrenz Samuels\, University of Maryland \nTsim D. Schneider\, UC Santa Cruz \nHegnar Watenpaugh\, UC Davis \nRegistration on:\n http://arc.ucsc.edu/conferenceregistration.html

SUMMARY:The Fluidity of Status: A Seminar with Tanya Golash-Boza & Rhacel Parreñas (Non-citizenship Series)
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on gender\, deportation\, and labor\, the third and final session of Non-citizenship\, UC Santa Cruz’s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture\, approaches citizenship\, denizenship\, and mobility as fluid statuses—as formal (in other words\, documented) positions that are in flux and as practices of belonging that morph as people of various statuses interact with each other. \nPlease join us for this free\, public seminar with Tanya Golash-Boza\, Professor of Sociology at UC Merced\, and Rhacel Parreñas\, Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at the University of Southern California.  To reserve your lunch and to access the pre-circulated readings\, please register here: \n \nFollowing the seminar\, Professors Golash-Boza and Parreñas will take part in The Fluidity of Status: Non-citizenship\, Deportation\, and Indentured Mobility\, a public conversation at the Museum of Art & History at 705 Front Street in downtown Santa Cruz.\n\n \nTanya Golash-Boza is the author of five books\, including Deported: Immigrant Policing\, Disposable Labor and Global Capitalism (New York University Press\, 2015)\, which explains mass deportation in the context of the global economic crisis; Due Process Denied (Routledge\, 2012)\, which describes how and why non-citizens in the United States have been detained and deported for minor crimes\, without regard for constitutional limits on disproportionate punishment; and Immigration Nation (Paradigm\, 2012)\, which provides a critical analysis of the impact that US immigration policy has on human rights.  In addition\, she has published over a dozen articles in peer-reviewed journals on deportations\, racial identity\, and human rights and has written on contemporary issues for Al Jazeera\, The Boston Review\, The Nation\, Counterpunch\, The Houston Chronicle\, Racialicious\, The Chronicle of Higher Education\, and Dissident Voice. \nRhacel Parreñas‘ book\, Illicit Flirtations: Labor\, Migration and Sex Trafficking in Tokyo (Stanford University Press\, 2011)\, won the Distinguished Book Award in the Labor and Labor Movements Section of the American Sociological Association. Probing the intersections of human trafficking and labor migration\, her current research analyzes the constitution of unfree labor among migrant domestic workers in Dubai and Singapore. Her other books include Human Trafficking Reconsidered: Migration and Forced Labor (Open Society Institute\, 2014)\, The Force of Domesticity: Filipina Migrants and Globalization (New York University Press\, 2008)\, and Servants of Globalization: Migration and Domestic Work (second edition\, Stanford University Press\, 2015). Her current research focuses on the unfree labor of migrant contract workers in Asia and the Middle East.\nThis seminar is co-sponsored by the Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research\, with generous support from the Andrew W.

SUMMARY:Common Front for the Right to Housing in Bucharest
DESCRIPTION:Comparative urban studies are on the rise\, raising new questions about translation\, fungibility\, and transit. How can we study the material effects of global capital in various urban spaces without conflating the spatial struggles and transformations of one space upon another? How can superimposing Western understandings of gentrification upon non-Western places impose onto-epistemological violence? This talk\, moderated by Feminist Studies doctoral candidate and Anti-Eviction Mapping Project cofounder Erin McElroy\, will feature Bucharest-based housing justice activist\, artist\, and scholar Veda Popovici. Veda will share more about the Bucharest’s direct action collective\, the Common Front for the Right to Housing\, as well as histories of postsocialist neoliberal housing restitution laws that have incited current Romanian spatial struggles. Erin and Veda will discuss a growing call to think both global capital formations and comparative urbanism in Romania through decolonial analytics.

SUMMARY:The Fluidity of Status: Non-citizenship\, Deportation\, and Indentured Mobility: A Conversation with Tanya Golash-Boza and Rhacel Parreñas
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos: by Steve Kurtz\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nPresented by the Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research\nIn two Ted-style talks\, Tanya Golash-Boza (UC Merced) and Rhacel Parreñas (University of Southern California) help close UC Santa Cruz’s Andrew W. Mellon John E. Sawyer Seminar on non-citizenship by discussing what they see as some of the key issues framing debates around migration in our time: gender\, deportation\, incarceration\, slavery\, human trafficking\, structural violence\, and global apartheid. The evening begins with a reception at 6:30pm\, followed by presentations at 7:00pm and a Q&A moderated by Felicity Amaya Schaeffer (UC Santa Cruz). \n“Deported without Due Process: Ryan’s Story”\nTanya Golash-Boza\, Professor of Sociology\, University of California\, Merced \nSince 1996\, five million people have been deported from the United States – 98% of them Latin American and 90% men. Laws passed in 1996 made it easier to deport legal permanent residents\, even those eligible for citizenship. In immigration proceedings\, you have no right to legal representation. You can be detained without bond. You can be deported without a full hearing. In this talk\, Tanya Golash-Boza will explain how legal permanent residents can be deported from the United States with minimal or no due process. \n“The Unfree Labor of Migrant Domestic Workers”\nRhacel Parreñas\, Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies\, University of Southern California \nAcross the globe\, migrant domestic workers are unfree workers whose legal residency is contingent on their continued employment as live-in workers with a designated sponsor. Rhacel Parreñas’ talk gives a global overview of the exclusionary terms of their belonging. It then interrogates dominant theoretical frameworks for thinking about contemporary unfreedoms – slavery\, human trafficking and structural violence – and proposes the alternative concept of “indentured mobility\,” which sees migration as simultaneously constituting of financial mobility from a life of poverty in the sending society but at the cost of servitude vis-à-vis a sponsoring employer in the receiving society. The concept of indentured mobility foregrounds not only the severe structural constraints that limit the options of domestic workers but also their agentic negotiations for improving their work conditions and maximizing thepossible gains in their state of unfreedom. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, but attendees are kindly asked to register in advance. \n \nSpeakers \nTanya Golash-Boza is the author of five books\, including Deported: Immigrant Policing\, Disposable Labor and Global Capitalism (New York University Press\, 2015)\, which explains mass deportation in the context of the global economic crisis; Due Process Denied (Routledge\, 2012)\, which describes how and why non-citizens in the United States have been detained and deported for minor crimes\, without regard for constitutional limits on disproportionate punishment; and Immigration Nation (Paradigm\, 2012)\, which provides a critical analysis of the impact that US immigration policy has on human rights.  In addition\, she has published over a dozen articles in peer-reviewed journals on deportations\, racial identity\, and human rights and has written on contemporary issues for Al Jazeera\, The Boston Review\, The Nation\, Counterpunch\, The Houston Chronicle\, Racialicious\, The Chronicle of Higher Education\, and Dissident Voice. \nRhacel Parreñas‘ book\, Illicit Flirtations: Labor\, Migration and Sex Trafficking in Tokyo(Stanford University Press\, 2011)\, won the Distinguished Book Award in the Labor and Labor Movements Section of the American Sociological Association. Probing the intersections of human trafficking and labor migration\, her current research analyzes the constitution of unfree labor among migrant domestic workers in Dubai and Singapore. Her other books include Human Trafficking Reconsidered: Migration and Forced Labor (Open Society Institute\, 2014)\, The Force of Domesticity: Filipina Migrants and Globalization (New York University Press\, 2008)\, and Servants of Globalization: Migration and Domestic Work (second edition\, Stanford University Press\, 2015). Her current research focuses on the unfree labor of migrant contract workers in Asia and the Middle East. \nFelicity Amaya Schaeffer is Associate Professor of Feminist Studies and Co-principal Investigator of Non-citizenship\, UC Santa Cruz’s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Sawyer Seminar.  She is the author of Love and Empire:  Cybermarriage and Citizenship across the Americas (New York University Press\, 2013)\, an exploration of the relationship between global shifts and intimate circuits of desire\, love\, and marriage.  Her current research is on surveillance technologies and the sexual criminalization of migrant bodies on and beyond the US-Mexico border.  Other research interests include borderlands and transnationalisms; affect and capitalism; race\, technology\, and subjectivity; and Chicana and Latin American cultural studies. \n  \nThis free\, public event is co-sponsored by the Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research\, with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. \nAbout Non-citizenship\nNon-citizenship is part of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture. Linking citizenship\, migration\, border\, labor\, and carceral studies\, and juxtaposing spatial and social mobility and immobility\, this year-long series of events explores what it means to be a citizen and non-citizen in a world made by migrants\, refugees\, guest workers\, permanent residents\, asylum seekers\, slaves\, prisoners\, detainees\, the stateless\, and denizens (residents who do not hold the same rights as citizens). Non-citizenship is organized around three themes: “Forced Migration” (fall 2016)\, “Labor Mobility and Precarity” (winter 2017)\, and “Fluidity of Status” (spring 2017). Click here to learn more.

SUMMARY:Spanish Colloquium: Ximena Briceño\, "A vuelo de pájaro: Vallejo y Arguedas"
DESCRIPTION:A vuelo de pájaro: Vallejo y ArguedasA talk in Spanish by Ximena Briceño\nXimena Briceño enseña literatura latinoamericana en el Departamento de Culturas Ibéricas y Latinoamericanas de Stanford University desde 2008. Es doctora por la Universidad de Cornell y egresada de la Universidad Católica del Perú. Su trabajo de investigación se enfoca en teorías de animalidad en la literatura moderna de América Latina\, especialmente de la zona andina. Ha sido becaria del Instituto Iberoamericano de Berlín y es coordinadora del grupo de investigación materia en Stanford. \nExploro el arco trazado por el ave guanera desde Trilce de César Vallejo hasta El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo de José María Arguedas. Quiero discutir la presencia de una poética excrementicia en la vanguardia andina desde una perspectiva post-antropocéntrica. Tomando como punto de partida la idea clásica de la vanguardia latinoamericana como crítica a la modernidad\, esta ponencia extrema esta postura para mostrar que\, más bien\, la línea excrementicia que comunica la escritura de Vallejo y Arguedas marca cómo esa temporalidad colapsa en un tiempo catastrófico que borra la frontera de lo humano y lo no humano. \n

SUMMARY:The "Light” Revolution and its aftermaths: Protest\, resistance and performing Eastern Europe
DESCRIPTION:SubRosa\nThroughout all of February\, tens of thousands took the streets in Romania to protest corruption of the political class. Far from being the first spontaneous mass protests in recent local history\, they were the first of such magnitude to affirm a clear right-wing position. As international radicals\, we expect solidarity not with the imperialist narrative of the “at last enlightened East” but with local resistance to the liberal paradigm of civic\, peaceful protest.

SUMMARY:PhD+: Humanities Townhall to Discuss Graduate Education for Graduate Students and Faculty
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, the NEH awarded UCSC a Next Generation Humanities PhD Planning Grant to help support the campus in instituting wide-ranging changes in its humanities doctoral programs. As such a process process will ultimately affect everyone in the Humanities division\, the grant participants would like to invite Humanities affiliates to a town-hall style forum for a short presentation about our NEH grant\, as well as to provide an opportunity in which to share ideas\, thoughts\, and concerns about the state\, and future of\, humanities graduate education at UCSC–and in general. We hope to integrate the feedback we receive into the strategies that each of our working groups are in the process of developing in order to better serve the UCSC humanities community. After a short introduction about the grant\, an informal panel discussion will provide some groundwork for a larger\, audience-based conservation regarding topics such as community building within/among graduate students and faculty\, skills development opportunities for humanities students\, and understanding/defining expectations for mentor/mentee relationships.  As part of our town hall discussion\, we provide a modest and optional selection of articles from the Chronicle of Higher Education as background reading for those who would like to participate. \nPlease RSVP below. Lunch will be served. \nPhD+ Workshop Series\nPlease join us for the second year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by the Institute for Humanities Research. We will meet monthly\, over lunch\, to discuss: possible career paths for PhDs\, internship possibilities\, grants/fellowships\, work/life balance\, elements of style\, online identity issues\, and much\, much more. \nPlease RSVP below.\nLoading…

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Jaclyn N. Schultz
DESCRIPTION:Advertising Female Futurity: Children’s Books Printed as Advertisements in the U.S.\, 1850-1870 \nIn this presentation\, I examine children’s books printed as advertisemtns between 1850 and 1870 that were directed at female children. Beginning around 1850\, companies produced books that served as advertisements but took the shape of children’s primers\, rhymes\, or storybooks. This presentation carefully studies these books to uncover consumerist lessons directed at children as well as contemporaneous understandings of the women of the future. By examining how female child readers were trained to become a certain kind of women through these advertising books\, my presentation illuminates the distinctive understanding of gendered labor\, consumerism\, and futurity that existed in the U.S. between 1850 and 1870. \nFriday Forum Spring quarter 2017 Schedule: \nFridays 12:20-2pm\nHumanities 1 Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

SUMMARY:The Politics of Belonging: Moroccan Communist Jews\, French Empire\, and Nationalisms in the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the place of Jews in colonial Morocco from the interwar period though to independence (achieved in 1956) and beyond. It is structured around one central question: how Moroccan Jews see themselves as emancipated citizens in a future independent Moroccan state? From a period of ideological porosity during the interwar period\, through the anti-Semitic policies of the Vichy regime during WWII\, to the struggle for national liberation\, and finally\, the years of mass Jewish exodus and authoritarianism\, this talk pushes against teleological readings of Moroccan Jewish history and explores a previously obscured narrative of political possibility and radical roads not taken. \nAssistant Professor Alma Heckman\, History \nReception to Follow\nFor accessibitiy concerns\, contact pmreed@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Baizhu Chen
DESCRIPTION:Do Lenders Value the Right Characteristics?: Evidence from Peer-to-Peer Lending \nUsing a unique dataset of peer-to-peer lending with detailed loan and borrower information\, I study the following research questions:|1) What are the borrower characteristics that lenders value when choosing which loans to fund?; and (2) Do lenders value the correct characteristics with respect to minimizing to probability of default? In this online context\, the researcher observes everything that the lender does\, enabling unbiased estimation of the borrower characteristics that lenders favor. Estimating the characteristics that predict loan default is problematic due to selection at the funding state. I consider three potential strategies to address this issue:(1) restricting attention to borrower characteristics for which there is no evidence of selection in the first stage; (2) bounding the default estimates in the style of Lee (2009) and (3) exploiting variation in the probability of funding caused by contemporaneous competition on the platform. The evidence suggests that lenders give the correct weight to verified income levels\, underestimate the importance of verified education level and marital status\, and overestimate the importance of verified employment industry. \nFriday Forum Spring quarter 2017 Schedule: \nFridays 12:30-2pm\nHumanities 1 Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

SUMMARY:Ethics and the Language of Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Guevara (Philosophy) and Claudio Campagna (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, and Wildlife Conservation Society) assert that we need to radically rethink the meaning of conservation. “Sustainable Development” is a failed term\, and as a result\, the crisis of conservation is fundamentally a philosophical crisis with real-world implications. Their goal is to give a compelling and rigorous voice to an authentic ethical concern for Nature. Light refreshments and coffee will be served. \nRegistration link:\nREGISTER HERE
