SUMMARY:VENUE CHANGED Rebecca Jo Plant: "Child Soldiers: Militarism and American Youth"
DESCRIPTION:Prof.Rebecca Jo Plant will be presenting on Child Soldiers: Militarism and American Youth\, a book project that she and her collaborator\, Frances M. Clarke of the University of Sydney\, have undertaken. The project traces debates over the use of child soldiers and the relationship between youth and militarism over two centuries in order to illuminate how changing attitudes toward the U.S. as military nation intersected with evolving attitudes toward childhood and youth. The event will take the form of a workshop with precirculated readings. \nRebecca Jo Plant is an associate professor in the History Department at the University of California\, San Diego\, since 2002\, and is the author of Mom: The Transformation of Motherhood in Modern America (University of Chicago Press\, 2010) and a co-editor of Maternalism Reconsidered: Motherhood\, Welfare\, and Social Policies in the Twentieth Century (Berghahn\, 2012). She received her PhD from Johns Hopkins University and has been awarded fellowships by the American Association of University Women\, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study\, and the American Council for Learned Societies. Plant’s research interests focus on women’s\, gender\, and family history; the history of therapeutic culture and the psychological professions; and the social and psychological impact of war in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century U.S. \nFor access to the readings please contact catjones@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:Ned Block: "Conscious\, Preconscious\, Unconscious"
DESCRIPTION:There are reliably reproducible strong brain activations that have little or no reportability and for that reason could be said to be unconscious\, but can become reportable with a shift of attention and do not have many of the signature properties of unconscious states. This lecture discusses whether these states might be phenomenally conscious in the light of the close conceptual tie between conscious perception and first person authority. \nAdvance reading: Consciousness\, accessibility\, and the mesh between psychology and neuroscience \nProfessor Block is the Silver Professor of Philosophy\, Psychology and Neural Science at NYU. He works in philosophy of mind and foundations of neuroscience and cognitive science.

SUMMARY:Jane McAlevey: "Beating Attack on Workers by Building High Participation Unions"
DESCRIPTION:Jane McAlevey’s first book\, Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell)\, published by Verso Press\, was named the “most valuable book of 2012” by The Nation Magazine. She has served as Executive Director and Chief Negotiator for SEIU Nevada\, as National Deputy Director for Strategic Campaigns of the Healthcare Division for SEIU\, and she was the Campaign Director of the one of the only successful multi-union\, multi-year\, geographic organizing campaigns for the national AFL-CIO (in Stamford\, Connecticut). She has led power structure analyses and strategic planning trainings for a wide range of union and community organizations and has had extensive involvement in globalization and global environmental issues. She worked at the Highlander Research and Education Center as an educator (and as Deputy Director) in her early 20’s. McAlevey is a contributing writer at The Nation Magazine. \nJane will discuss the lessons learned from ten years of building strong local unions that win collective bargaining and political gains based on deep and extensive membership involvement\, particularly in the context of the right-to-work state of Nevada and in the face of intensive union-busting efforts of for-profit hospital employers. She will shed light on the ongoing debates over how to rebuild union power in the face of austerity\, growing inequality\, and Conservative parties’ attacks on the basis of union organizational security. \nFor a sense of Jane’s take on these matters\, see her interview with Laura Flanders or visit janemcalevey.com. Copies of Jane’s book will be available at the talk for $20. \nBook talk co-sponsored by the Center for Labor Studies. \nFor Information about access\, please contact Steve McKay at smckay@ucsc.edu. For information about the Sociology Colloquium Series: http://socyeventsucsc.wordpress.com. \n

SUMMARY:Morris Ratner: "A Monument Man in the Courtroom: Litigating the Holocaust"
DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz will present a lecture by UC Hastings College of the Law Professor Morris Ratner titled “A Monument Man in the Courtroom: Litigating the Holocaust\,” on Monday\, April 7\, at 7 p.m.\, at UCSC’s University Center. \nProfessor Morris Ratner successfully prosecuted Holocaust-era private law claims against Swiss\, German\, Austrian\, and French entities that profited from Nazi atrocities by retaining dormant bank accounts\, failing to pay on life insurance policies\, and benefitting from the use of slave labor. Ratner’s litigation resulted in a series of settlements that\, together\, yielded payments in excess of $8 billion to victims of Nazi persecution. Using Holocaust litigation as a lens\, this lecture explores the topics of “what ‘justice’ means for victims of major atrocities like the Holocaust\, the role of private litigation in advancing social causes\, and the ability of individual advocates to prevail on behalf of victims in seemingly lost causes.” Ratner’s discussion of “social justice lawyering” also addresses the question: “Did it matter whether the lawyers in the Holocaust cases were–like the victims–Jewish\, Gay\, or Romani?” \nWatch the Video\n\nMorris Ratner joined the UC Hastings Faculty in 2012\, after teaching at Harvard Law School. An expert in civil procedure\, legal ethics\, and law practice management\, Ratner’s research explores ethical\, procedural\, and organizational questions that arise in multi-party actions\, including class actions and multidistrict litigations. Ratner worked as a litigator at the San Francisco-based plaintiffs’ firm Lieff\, Cabraser\, Heimann & Bernstein\, LLP\, where he was a partner for 10 years. During that time he prosecuted product liability\, mass personal injury\, consumer\, and human rights actions. \nPlease join us for this inaugural lecture in the Hastings Social Justice Speakers Series given by Hastings faculty at UCSC. The Series is a product of the UCSC-Hastings collaboration that also features the “3+3 BA/JD” Program which enables UCSC students to complete the BA and JD degrees in six\, rather than the usual seven\, years by attending both UCSC and Hastings College of the Law. \nAdmission is free and the public is invited\, with pre-registration encouraged to ensure a seat in the event of a sold out event. \nQuestions: Please call Kristin Palma at 831.459.5075\, or e-mail kpalma@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:Rebecca Hester: "Those against whom society must be defended: Mexican migrants\, swine flu\, and bioterrorism"
DESCRIPTION:Since 9/11 and in the wake of the anthrax letters\, there has been a concern about the “dual use” of biological knowledge and material which could variously be used for vaccine development or for the production of biological weapons of mass destruction. Population mobility and biological mutability have been at the center of this concern. The swine flu outbreak in 2009 in which the source of a potential pandemic was traced back to Oaxaca\, Mexico led to outcries for a better and stronger cross-border public health infrastructure. This presentation assesses the implications of an increased focus on infectious disease as a biosecurity concern for Latin American origin migrants in Mexico and the United States. The talk shows how Latin American origin populations have particularly been targeted for biosurveillance and have discursively\, if never materially\, been linked to bioterrorism. The human rights consequences of this discursive link are potentially very grave for cross-border migrants as biological explanations are used to foment xenophobia and policies are implemented to “pre-empt” and “prevent” any and every lethal biological “contaminant” from entering the United States. \nRebecca J. Hester is assistant professor of social medicine in the Institute for the Medical Humanities at the University of Texas Medical Branch. She holds a Ph.D. in Politics with an emphasis in Latin American and Latino Studies from UCSC. Her research focuses on the politics of the body as they are manifested at and through the intersections of immigration\, health\, and security.  She is co-author\, with Ronnie Lipschutz\, of “We are the Borg!  Human Assimilation into Cellular Society\,” pp. 366-407\, in: M.G. Michael and Katina Michael (eds.)\, Uberveillance and the Social Implications of Microchip Implants: Emerging Technologies (Hershey\, Penna.: IGI Global\, 2014).\n  \nThese talks are co-sponsored by CGIRS\, College Eight\, the Politics Department\, the Institute for Humanities Research\, the Institute of the Arts & Sciences\, and the Science and Justice Research Center.  The BIOS  (Bodies Imag(in)ed to be Obstacles to Security) Research Cluster is a new project of the Center for Global\, International and Regional Studies\, focused on the surveillance\, management\, interrogation\, discipline and intervention  of human and other bodies in the digital age. If you are interested in joining the cluster\, please contact Ronnie Lipschutz at rlipsch@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: After Tiller
DESCRIPTION:the film explores the issue of late-term abortion in the U.S. in the aftermath of the murder of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas in 2009\, one of the very few doctors to perform this procedure. We will actually have one of the physicians featured in the film\, Dr. Shelley Sella\, in attendance at the screening and she will answer questions afterwards. \nAfter Tiller intimately explores the highly controversial subject of third-trimester abortions in the wake of the 2009 assassination of practitioner Dr. George Tiller. The procedure is now performed by only four doctors in the United States\, all former colleagues of Dr. Tiller\, who risk their lives every day in the name of their unwavering commitment toward their patients. Directors Martha Shane and Lana Wilson have created a moving and unique look at one of the most incendiary topics of our time\, and they’ve done so in an informative\, thought-provoking\, and compassionate way. \n  \nSpace is limited. If you would like to attend\, please make a free reservation using this link to Brown Paper Tickets:\nhttp://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/608547\n  \nPresented by the Complicated Labor Research Cluster with support from Planned Parenthood Mar Monte.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Caesar Must Die
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlinale\, Paolo and Vittorio Taviani’s Caesar Must Die deftly melds narrative and documentary in a transcendently powerful drama-within-a-drama. The film was made in Rome’s Rebibbia Prison\, where the inmates are preparing to stage Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. After a competitive casting process\, the roles are eventually allocated\, and the prisoners begin exploring the text\, finding in its tale of fraternity\, power and betrayal parallels to their own lives and stories. Hardened criminals\, many with links to organised crime\, these actors find great motivation in performing the play. As we witness the rehearsals\, beautifully photographed in various nooks and crannies within the prison\, we see the inmates also work through their own conflicts\, both internal and between each other. \nDiscussion after the film will be led by the UCSC Shakespeare’s Disciplines Research Cluster.

SUMMARY:Sun-Ah Jun: "Prominence and phrasing in ambiguity resolution: Evidence from priming and individual differences"
DESCRIPTION:Sun-Ah Jun is Professor of Linguistics at UC Los Angeles. \nAbstract: In a sentence such as Someone shot the servant of the actress who was on the balcony\, it is ambiguous whether the relative clause (RC) modifies NP1 the servant (i.e.\, high attachment) or NP2 the actress (low attachment). Although the details of attachment preference are language-specific (Fodor 1998\, Fernández 2003)\, it is known that\, crosslinguistically\, attachment decisions are sensitive to the sentence’s prosodic characteristics\, including the location of a prosodic boundary. This fact has been used to support the Implicit Prosody Hypothesis (IPH; Fodor 1998\, 2002)\, which holds that the human sentence parser favors low attachment when the RC forms a single prosodic phrase with NP2\, but favors high attachment when a prosodic break directly precedes the RC. In this talk\, I will provide new evidence supporting the IPH based on two experiments using the structural priming paradigm. These experiments show that attachment decisions for a target sentence are influenced by an explicit\, as well as an implicit\, prosodic boundary in a prime sentence. However\, I will also show that sensitivity to a prosodic boundary varies across individuals\, and is in part predictable based on “autistic”-like traits. A mechanism underlying this variation will be discussed.

SUMMARY:"Genomics and Philosophy of Race" Conference
DESCRIPTION:The “Genomics and Philosophy of Race” conference aims to foster a dialogue about race\, and\, in particular\, about relationships between ideas of race and modern genomics research. Four panels of experts and two keynote speakers will consider scientific\, historical\, sociological\, and philosophical questions: Does contemporary genomics inform and shift our classifications\, conceptualizations\, and consciousness of race? To what extent is race real? Which inferences\, if any\, about the body\, mind\, and culture might race and related concepts (e.g.\, ancestry and ethnicity) ground? We invite students\, researchers\, and the public at large to join our conversation. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nAGENDA & PANELISTS:\nSaturday\, April 12\, 2014 • 10am-6pm\n10:00am Brief Opening Comments:\nWilliam A.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Conference: "Matters Out of Place:  Landscapes of Absence and Dislocation"
DESCRIPTION:While Mary Douglas’ oft-quoted maxim states that\, “dirt is matter out of place\,” it is also the soil in which life takes root. This conference positions landscapes as fertile ground from which to explore the politics of dirt and other matters out of place. Moving away from engagements with landscape as inert background or pristine setting\, we consider perspectives on dynamic\, dirty landscapes produced by dislocations and emplacements\, abandonment and occupation\, or human and more-than-human movements. \nMatters Out of Place capture the anthropological imagination because they draw attention to the ways social orders are maintained\, destabilized and transformed. They are not simply boundary-making sources of cognitive dissonance\, as Mary Douglas’ maxim implies\, but material presences and absences that lead to unexpected forms of flourishing. This conference puts forth a dirty kind of anthropology\, one that works the boundaries of social orders as well as the boundaries of anthropology itself. \nFor the complete schedule\, please visit: http://ucscanthro.tumblr.com/schedule.

SUMMARY:Rick Baldoz: "The Strange Career of the Filipino 'National': Race\, Immigration\, and the Bordering of U.S. Empire"
DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore the incorporation of Filipino immigrants in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century\, focusing on the interplay of colonialism\, racial boundaries and citizenship policy. The influx of Filipinos to the United States that followed the annexation of the Philippines confounded American authorities tasked with enforcing traditional racial checkpoints in American society. This talk will illustrate how the geo-political imperatives of U.S. imperial expansion repeatedly collided with domestic practices of racial exclusion forcing American policymakers to recalibrate the administrative boundaries of the national polity to address the status of colonial migrants. Contestation over the socio-legal status of Filipinos in the United States offers important insights into the contingent and contested nature of America’s ascriptive hierarchies and the interlocking politics of immigration\, race and U.S. statecraft. \nRick Baldoz is an Assistant Professor in the Sociology Department at Oberlin College. He is the author of the award winning book\, The Third Asiatic Invasion: Empire and Migration in Filipino America\, 1898-1946 (NYU Press). He is currently working on a book project about the 1965 Hart Celler Immigration Act\, examining this historical legislation against the backdrop of Cold War politics\, anti-colonial upheaval\, and domestic civil rights mobilization.

SUMMARY:Models of Mediterranean Modernity: The Perspective From the Longue Duree
DESCRIPTION:The UC Santa Cruz Emeriti Group presents the 2014 spring Emeriti Faculty Lecture “Models of Mediterranean Modernity: The Perspective From the Longue Duree” \nViewed from a global perspective\, the Mediterranean region has enjoyed a common historical experience since 1500. Increasingly semi-peripheral with respect to the world capitalist system\, and characterized by weak states\, delayed or muffled class formation\, agrarian backwardness and the persistence of pastoralism\, the coming to modernity of the Mediterranean foreshadowed the historical experience of the Third World in its unity and diversity. \nEdmund “Terry” Burke III is Research Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Burke is the author of The Ethnographic State: France and the Invention of Moroccan Islam (forthcoming\, California\, 2014). He is the co-editor of The Environment and World History (UC Press\, 2009) and Environmental Imaginaries of the Middle East (Athens OH: Ohio University\, 2011)\, and Genealogies of Orientalism (Nebraska\, 2008).

SUMMARY:"Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism" Conference
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of the year\, the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Research Cluster has brought together scholars from UCSC and beyond for an interdisciplinary inquiry into the history and future of the capitalist world-system. A few focal points have arisen: the history of separation from the means of subsistence\, and the emergence of market dependence and waged labor; the interpretation of the history of economic thought\, and its relationship to capitalist development; the political problem of work\, as a process generative of capitalist subjectivities\, and a horizon of post-capitalist imaginaries; the constitution of family forms\, and practices of gendering that reproduce capitalist social relations. \nThe eponymous conference of the cluster\, April 18-19\, 2014 will provide a framework for collective discussion of the theoretical questions that have been raised over the course of the cluster’s events. It will also be a space for generating the research questions that the cluster will pursue as it continues its activities. \nThis conference is free and open to the public. \nFor more information\, including the an agenda and panels\, please visit Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Conference page

SUMMARY:Julie Legate: "Noncanonical Passives"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this talk\, I investigate the syntactic structure of voice\, focusing on noncanonical passives; I build on previous work by myself and others showing that voice is encoded in a functional projection\, VoiceP\, which is distinct from\, and higher than\, vP.  I demonstrate that microvariation in the properties of VoiceP explains a wide range of noncanonical passives\, including agent-agreeing passives\, restricted agent passives\, accusative object passives\, impersonals\, and object voice. The analysis draws on data from a typologically diverse set of languages. \nJulie Legate is Associate Professor of Linguistics at University of Pennsylvania.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Horror Auteur Film Series: Martyrs
DESCRIPTION:It’s easy to create a victim. \nOne of the more insightful recent examples of French extreme cinema and “torture porn\,” Pascal Laugier’s Martyrs is a singularly divisive horror film experience. After police officers rescue her following over a year of repeated exposure to torture and torment\, Lucie build up her strength in an orphanage and befriends Anna\, another victim of abuse. Fifteen years later Lucie (Mylène Jampanoï) and Anna (Morjana Alaoui) break into the house of a seemingly middle-of-the-road bourgeois family whom Lucie proceeds to slaughter with gory abandon because she believes them to be the perpetrators of her yearlong suffering and abuse as a child. These gruesome acts give way to some obvious problems (primarily having to do with how to dispose of the bodies) and the unexpected discovery of a hidden staircase that leads to the more affecting and startling atrocity exhibitions (and almost spiritual ordeals of survival) in the film’s second half. Though it is certainly one of the most graphic films we’ll be showing this quarter\, Martyrs is not to be missed! \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing films by contemporary horror film auteurs from France\, Japan\, and the United States each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends. \nSponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados. More informative flyers to follow weekly.

SUMMARY:"Legacies of the Sent-down Youth Movement in Contemporary China" Conference
DESCRIPTION:[vc_column width=”2/3″ el_position=”first”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \nThis conference explores the contemporary legacies of the sent-down youth movement that accompanied the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-76)\, during which approximately 15 million urban youth were sent to live in rural villages and state farms for up to ten years. This is a timely moment for such a workshop\, as an increasing number of scholars in China are engaged in research on this subject\, a result of the cottage industry of individual memoirs\, collections of letters\, diaries\, and archival materials that have been published. \nAlthough all of the conference participants have conducted research on historical aspects of the movement\, they share a concern with the legacies of that movement for contemporary China: the large percentage of the current political leadership (including President Xi Jinping) that were sent-down youth; the implications of economic relationships established in the context of the sent-down youth movement for contemporary economic development; and social issues facing the post-sent-down youth generation. Participants from China and the U.S. include historians\, sociologists\, and political scientists. \n[/vc_column_text] [rb_blank_divider height=”35″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [rb_section_title title=”Schedule” icon=”con-none” border=”true” margin=”35″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \n9:00-9:15 AM – Opening Remarks\nEmily Honig\, Department of History\, UC Santa Cruz \n9:15 AM – 12:15 PM – Panel One\nChair: Benjamin Read\, Department of Politics\, UCSC \nSun Peidong (Department of History\, Fudan University)\n“Who will marry my daughter?
