SUMMARY:OpEd Project Fellowship Application Deadline: "Write to Change the World"
DESCRIPTION:The “Write to Change the World” program will build our faculty’s capacity to translate their research for the public and to engage in debate at a national level based on their areas of
 expertise. Our focus will be on increasing underrepresented voices within these debates. Working in partnership with the OpEd Project\, we will host three one-day workshops led by OpEd Project facilitators\, at three regional hubs: UC Davis\, UC Merced\, and UCLA\, with 20 fellows in each workshop\, from nine participating campuses (UCSF\, UCSB\, UCI\, UCR\,UCSD\, UCSC)\, for a total of 60 fellows. Invitational priorities for applicants include: 1) sustainability and the environment 2) social justice and inequality 3) big data and digital humanities 4) public health and medical humanities 5) arts and public life. After the 1-day workshop\, fellows will have access to a yearlong mentorship with media mentors through the OpEd Project. This program provides extraordinary resources\, access and support\, including cutting edge game-based\, research-driven programming\, and access to a prestigious network of fellows at peer institutions nationwide. \nN.B. Faculty traveling to attend the workshop at another campus may receive travel support from their Center if their campus is not hosting a workshop. This amount will be indicated in their award letter from their Center. \nREQUIREMENTS:\n1) Attend a 1-day workshop\n2) Draft an Op-Ed within three months following the workshop\n3) Connect with a media mentor through the OpEd Project within three months following the workshop \nDATES and LOCATIONS:\nUC Davis: May 23\, 2016\nUC Merced: April 29\, 2016\nUCLA: June 10\, 2016 \nApplication deadline: Feb. 1\, 2016.

SUMMARY:Zephyr Frank: "Beyond Eyeballmetrics: Visualization and Analysis in Digital Scholarship"
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Hands on (Digital) Humanities Series \nThis talk explores the boundary between visualization and analysis in contemporary digital scholarship. It argues for a shift in focus from creating visualizations (and related tools) toward a more robust analytical practice based on quantitative measurement. In this sense\, visualization is seen as a useful but often insufficient step in the research process. A critical assessment of a series of examples of work from Stanford’s Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis will provide the foundation for the talk. \nZephyr Frank is Professor of History at Stanford and the Director of the Program on Urban Studies. He is also the founding director of the Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis (CESTA). At CESTA\, Professor Frank directs the Spatial History Project. His most recent book is Reading Rio de Janeiro: Literature and Society in the Nineteenth Century (Stanford\, 2016).

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Charles Yu
DESCRIPTION:Charles Yu is an Asian American writer of three well received works of speculative fiction\, How to Live Safely in a Science Fiction Universe\, Third Class Superhero\, and Sorry Please Thank You. Born 1976 in Los Angeles\, Yu graduated from University of California at Berkeley and Columbia Law School. He lives with his wife and children in Santa Monica\, California. He has been widely published in such places as Oxford American\, The Gettysburg Review\, Harvard Review\, Mid-American Review\, Mississippi Review\, and Alaska Quarterly Review and has been cited for special mention in the Pushcart Prize Anthology XXVIII. He won the Sherwood Anderson Fiction Award for his story “Class Three Superhero.” He was selected by the National Book Foundation as one of its 5 Under 35 program\, which highlights the work of the next generation of fiction writers. It is determined by previous National Book Award winners and finalists selecting one fiction writer under the age of 35 whose work they find promising or interesting. Richard Powers\, winner of the 2006 National Book Award for Fiction\, selected Yu for the honor. \nHis novel How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe was ranked the year’s second best science fiction novel by the Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas\, and a runner up for the John W Campbell Memorial Award. The novel has been optioned for a film. The novel focuses on a father-son relationship and the narrator’s search for a father. It includes themes of how we live\, time\, memory\, and creation of the self\, and features a narrator who shares the author’s name and who lives in a time machine with his non-existent dog.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Sophia Magnone
DESCRIPTION:Sophia Magnone \n“There is risk in dealing with a partner”: “Bloodchild” and Interspecies Encounter \nI focus on “Bloodchild\,” Octavia Butler’s story of extremely intimate yet profoundly troubling relations between species. On an extraterrestrial world\, refugee humans become reproductive partners with their insectoid hosts\, a relationship that mixes familial and sexual love with coercion and objectification. Yet in Butler’s own words\, “Bloodchild” is a story of love\, not slavery; she insists on the possibility of maintaining true affinity between profoundly different and unequal beings. What would it take to rescript the story of humans and nonhumans on our own \n\n  \nFriday Forum Winter 2015 Schedule \nFridays\, 12:30 – 2:00pm\nHumanities 1\, Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

SUMMARY:Colin Phillips: "Speaking\, understanding\, and the architecture of language"
DESCRIPTION:We speak and understand the same language\, but it’s generally assumed that language production and comprehension are subserved by separate cognitive systems. So they must presumably draw on a third\, task-neutral cognitive system (“grammar”). So comprehension-production differences are a thorn in the side of anybody who might want to collapse grammar and language processing mechanisms (i.e.\, me!). In this talk I will show how the same underlying mechanism can have rather different surface effects in speaking and understanding. In production\, I will discuss studies in English and Japanese that show syntactically constrained look-ahead in sentence planning\, and that show that syntactic category acts as a strong filter on lexical access. In comprehension\, I will discuss ERP studies in English\, Mandarin\, and Japanese that illustrate surprisingly “dumb” word prediction mechanisms. These predictive mechanisms are nevertheless subject to the same category constraint observed in sentence production\, as reflected in different effects of case marker manipulation.\n  \nLinguistic Colloquium: \nThe Linguistic department hosts colloquium talks by distinguished faculty from around the world. \nFall 2015\nOctober 9th: Keith Johnson\, UC Berkeley\nOctober 16th: Heidi Harley\, University of Arizona\nOctober 30th: Ivano Caponigro\, UC San Diego\nNovember 20th: Elliott Moreton\, University of North Carolina \nWinter 2016\nJanuary 15th: Sharon Inkelas\, UC Berkeley\nFebruary 5th: Colin Phillips\, University of Maryland\nFebruary 6th: N.

SUMMARY:Leadership for Social Justice: Sikh American Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will provide participants with practical tools for conceptualizing and effecting social change. Modules include: understanding and changing mindsets\, community cultural leadership\, implementing adaptive change\, and supporting citizen-centered rather than client-centered approaches. \nWorkshop trainer: Jyotswaroop Kaur\n Education Director\, Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund (SALDEF) \nFree workshop open to all UCSC students and staff. Lunch provided.\nAdvance registration required. Please use form below. \nJyotswaroop Kaur joined SALDEF’s Southern California office with 10 years of experience in youth education programs\, teaching\, economic and social justice work. In her role at the helm of the Education Initiative\, Kaur is responsible for the strategic growth and development of the organization’s two SikhLEAD programs: The Internship Program and the Leadership Development Program. While she spends the majority of her time running the Southern California Bureau\, Kaur has brokered relationships with organizations\, government bureaus\, and offices on Capitol Hill securing coveted internships for the prestigious Internship Program. Kaur not only hand picks each candidate\, but also grooms them with resume and interview coaching prior to their arrival in D.C. Just as she winds down her D.C. partnerships\, Kaur begins creating the strategic plan and class for the Leadership Development Program where she carefully culls pioneers and changemakers from our nation’s top industries—entrepreneurs\, lawyers\, journalists\, and community organizers— to speak with her incoming LDP class. Kaur also oversees much of the community relations work including the Law Enforcement Partnership Program. She serves on the Board of Directors of SAJE (Strategic Actions for a Just Economy) — a community based organization in South Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Critical Leisure Studies Winter Seminar: Introduction & The Right to be Lazy
DESCRIPTION:In our introductory Winter Seminar\, we hope to foster intellectual dialogue amongst a community of scholars interested in exploring the theoretical implications and transformative possibilities in thinking the category of “leisure” historically and in the contemporary moment. \nThe first half of the meeting\, will be an open discussion about the interdisciplinary possibilities of “leisure” as a category of social critique and its intersections with our work. In the second half of the meeting\, we intend to engage in a discussion of Paul Lafargue’s short piece The Right to be Lazy as a productive departure point for some of the directions listed above. \nSome questions we hope to explore might include: \n\nWhat differentiates labor and leisure and how have theses categories been historically constructed through racialized\, gendered\, heteropatriarchal\, class\, and/or colonial hierarchies?\nWhat social and economic practices figure an activity as work\, play\, nonwork\, or leisure?\nHow does the formal category of “leisure” itself act to discipline desires?\nIn what ways does the production and appropriation of excess enable cultural and political forms of participation and belonging?\n\n  \nEvent Photos: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Works in Progress Session: Mapping Liminal Jewish Spaces with Katie Trostel and Erica Smeltzer
DESCRIPTION:Literature graduate students\, Katie Trostel and Erica Smeltzer will present their digital works-in-progress as part of their ongoing work related to the Venice Ghetto and Liminal Spaces and the Jewish Imagination. \nSponsored by the Siegfried B. and Elisabeth Mignon Puknat Literary Studies Endowment.\n  \nKatie Trostel\,“Shifting Zones of Memory”: Digitally Mapping Marjorie Agosín’s Cartographies: Meditations on Travel (2004)”  \nThis digital mapping project centered on Marjorie Agosín’s Cartographies: Meditations on Travel (2004) stems from larger questions posed by the Venice Ghetto Working Group at UCSC; the group has undertaken the project of thinking through the meaning of the ghetto in the context of its 500th anniversary. Through digital mapping\, I trace the complexity of ways in which Jewish spaces\, including that of the ghetto\, are revisited\, re-inscribed\, entangled\, and recycled in Agosín’s poems\, as she simultaneously works through her experience of exile in the period of the Chilean post-dictatorship. The space of the ghetto\, as well as globalized Jewish spaces as a broader category\, are ways of thinking through the more expansive themes of exile\, displacement\, national belonging\, and exclusion. Through her prose-poems\, Agosín complicates the idea of a static geography\, weaving personal place-based memories into a complex web of Jewish sites of global significance. Reflecting upon her travels across four continents\, she explores both the category of exile and a certain longing for home. I use this work to think about the re-inscription of meanings of place\, and how sites of memory can come to embody overlapping stories that span both space and time. I question: How do these sites of memory travel? How can a digital representation of literary space help to visualize and make deeper the layers of history and tangled webs of place-based belonging encoded in the pages of Agosín’s text? \n  \nErica Smeltzer\, “Opening Gates and Ghettos: Digitally Mapping the Jewish Spaces of Prague” \nThis project uses a digital mapping platform to represent the many spatial characteristics attributed to Jewish experience: exile\, sequestration\, and diaspora. Beginning with the Jewish ghetto in Prague\, the “Story Map” will begin with Egon Erwin Kisch’s Tales from Seven Ghettos\, following the reportage as it describes place\, space\, and history in the Jewish quarter. This project evolved from the larger theoretical and comparative questions posed by the Venice Ghetto Working Group at UCSC. The group considers the Venice Ghetto “a memory space that travels.” In this spirit the digital map attempts to represent the intersections between stories of the ghetto\, their reiterations\, and the dispersal of their authors. In this way the mapping project begins with Egon Erwin Kisch\, but it does not end with him. The map slowly expands as his text touches on different nodes (legends\, landmarks\, and histories) and begins to oppose a purely insular vision of the ghetto through a specialized and expanding network of intertext.

SUMMARY:Noa Latham: Meditation and Self-Control
DESCRIPTION:This paper seeks to analyze an under-discussed kind of self-control\, namely the control of thoughts and sensations. I distinguish first-order control from second-order control and argue that their central forms are intentional concentration and intentional mindfulness respectively. These correspond to two forms of meditation\, concentration meditation and mindfulness meditation\, which have been regarded as central both in the traditions in which the practices arose and in the scientific literature on meditation. I analyze them in terms of their characteristic intentions\, distingush them from concentration and mindfulness in general\, and examine the relations between them. Concentration involves keeping the mind focused on a single object\, while mindfulness requires noticing whatever mental states occupy the focus of one’s consciousness. In the course of the investigation I examine the role of phenomenology and volition in the activity of meditating\, and how they change as meditative capacities develop. \nAbout: \nNoa Latham is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Calgary. Research Interests: Ethics\, Metaphysics\, Philosophy of Action\, Philosophy of Mind

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Amanda Reyes
DESCRIPTION:Amanda Reyes \nDangerous Visibility: The Visual Epistemology of Eugenics \nIn the 1927 Buck v. Bell decision\, the Supreme Court upheld a Virginia statute allowing sterilization of people determined to have “hereditary” mental illnesses such as “idiocy\, imbecility\, feeble-mindedness or epilepsy.” Key testimony asserted that her infant child had “a look about [her] that is not quite normal” and descriptions of Carrie as “poor in looks” formed the basis of the argument that Carrie’s “feeble-mindedness” was hereditary. Thinking through the ways that representations of the Bucks were curated and challenged\, this paper argues that eugenic discourse operates through a visual economy. \n\n  \nFriday Forum Winter 2015 Schedule \nFridays\, 12:30 – 2:00pm\nHumanities 1\, Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

DESCRIPTION:EVENT PODCAST:\n \nThis conference addresses the complexity of the Ghetto of Venice at 500\, both as a concrete space and as a global metaphor – tracing its refraction across space and time. We bring together representations of the ghetto in art\, literature\, and photography while embracing the possibilities of digital methodologies. By conceiving of the ghetto as a “memory space that travels” rather than as a static museal site we open up the constellation of representations in which the Ghetto of Venice is situated in the 21st century. \nProgram:\n12:15-1:00 PM – Opening Remarks: by Dean Tyler Stovall presented by Professor Murray Baumgarten\n“The Venice Ghetto at 500: Situating the Conversation” \n1:00-1:30 PM – Skype conversation with Marjorie Agosín\nQuestions and Answers.

SUMMARY:Todd Presner: "The Ethics of the Algorithm: Holocaust Testimony and Digital Humanities"
DESCRIPTION:2016 Helen Diller Family Endowment Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies with Todd Presner\n“The Ethics of the Algorithm: Holocaust Testimony and Digital Humanities” \nWith more than 52\,000 testimonies\, 100\,000+ hours of video footage\, and a database of some 6 million records\, the Shoah Foundation’s Visual History Archive is the largest archive of Holocaust testimony in the world. But more than an archive of eyewitness testimony\, it is also an information management system\, a patented digital library\, and a generalizable database for indexing and cataloguing genocide. This talk examines how forms of computation – specifically databases\, data structures\, algorithms\, and information visualizations – function as specific modes of historical emplotment that raise significant ethical questions. Through an investigation of the entirety of the Shoah Foundation’s database\, Presner shows how computational analysis can be “read against itself” in order to reveal certain assumptions and patterns in the data. In so doing\, he argues for the development of an “ethics of the algorithm” based on insights from the Jewish ethical tradition. The talk will combine his research in Holocaust Studies\, history/memory\, and Digital Humanities. \nTodd Samuel Presner is Professor of Germanic Languages and Comparative Literature at UCLA\, where he is also the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Director of the UCLA Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies and Chair of the Digital Humanities Program. His most recent books are: Probing the Ethics of Holocaust Culture\, co-edited with Claudio Fogu and Wulf Kansteiner (Harvard University Press\, 2016) and HyperCities: Thick Mapping in the Digital Humanities\, with co-authors David Shepard and Yoh Kawano (Harvard University Press\, 2014).\nEvery year we honor Helen Diller\, whose generous endowment continues to provide crucial support to Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, by hosting a public lecture series on campus by an internationally recognized scholar. This event was made possible by generous support from the Helen Diller Family Endowment and the Center for Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \n  \nEvent Photos: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Book Talks - Gil Anidjar: "Blood: A Critique of Christianity"
DESCRIPTION:Blood\, according to Gil Anidjar\, maps the singular history of Christianity. As a category for historical analysis\, blood can be seen through its literal and metaphorical uses as determining\, sometimes even defining Western Culture\, politics\, and social practice and their wide-ranging incarnations in nationalism\, capitalism\, and the law. Flowing across multiple boundaries\, infusing them with violent precepts that we must address\, blood undoes the presumed oppositions between religion and politics\, economy and theology\, and kinship and race. \nDr. Anidjar is professor of Religion\, Comparative Literature\, and Middle Eastern\, South Asian\, and African Studies at Columbia University. His books include The Jew\, The Arab: A History of the Enemy and Semites: Race\, Religion\, Literature. \nUC Santa Cruz’s Center for Emerging Worlds and the Center for Cultural Studies present this new series\, Book Talks\, which invites authors to read from their books and engage in discussion. Please visit the Center for Emerging Worlds’ website for more information on their work.
