SUMMARY:Modeling Culture: 3D Archaeology and the Future of the Past
DESCRIPTION:Organizers:\nElaine Sullivan\, UC Santa Cruz\nJ. Cameron Monroe\, UC Santa Cruz\n  \nConference Theme:\nThe past decade has witnessed a dramatic surge in the availability and use of digital technologies in Archaeology\, where the increasing power and declining cost of computing technology has transformed the way we think about collecting\, analyzing\, and presenting archaeological data. While many technologies have been adopted and adapted into the field\, the potential for 3D modeling is still being explored. This conference asks leading innovators in the use of 3D research methods to present and evaluate the impact and future of this new technology on the study of the past. \nSpeakers:\nMichael Ashley\, Center for Digital Archaeology\nEdward González-Tennant\, Digital Heritage Interactive\nSusan Kuzminsky\, UC Santa Cruz\nNicola Lercari\, UC Merced\nTom Levy\, UC San Diego\nBernard K. Means\, Virginia Commonwealth University\nRachel Opitz\, Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies\nJohn Rick\, Stanford University\nElaine Sullivan\, UC Santa Cruz\nWilleke Wendrich\, UC Los Angeles \nKeynote Address by Ruth Tringham\, UC Berkeley\n  \nAdmission is FREE and open to the public. Advance registration is required: Register for the Conference\n  \nCall For Digital Presentations:\nIn addition to the above speakers\, we invite submissions for a small number of digital presentations focusing on methodological issues in 3D archaeology. These presentations will be presented in a digital “poster-session” in which presenters will use a devoted widescreen LCD. As such\, we discourage traditional powerpoint presentations or simple posters\, but rather encourage presentations that will make maximum use of the flexibility afforded by a digital presentation mode. We particularly encourage submissions from graduate students\, and small travel stipend is available to defray costs for graduate student presenters. To ensure full consideration\, abstracts should be submitted online by February 19th using the link below. \nSubmit an Abstract for the Digital Poster Session

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Sherene Seikaly
DESCRIPTION:Men of Capital examines British-ruled Palestine in the 1930s and 1940s through a focus on economy. In a departure from the expected histories of Palestine\, this book illuminates dynamic class constructions that aimed to shape a pan-Arab utopia in terms of free trade\, profit accumulation\, and private property. And in so doing\, it positions Palestine and Palestinians in the larger world of Arab thought and social life\, moving attention away from the limiting debates of Zionist-Palestinian conflict. \nProfessor Sheren Seikaly is a historian of capitalism\, consumption\, and development in the modern Middle East. She is Assistant Professor of History at UC Santa Barbara. She previously taught at the American University in Cairo. She is Co-founder and Co-editor of the important journal Jadaliyaa. \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.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Andrew Woods
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Woods \n“Punk the Academy (aka. Punk as Method) \nWith a particular emphasis on the non-hierarchical\, ambiguous\, and D.I.Y. ethos of punk cultures\, this paper makes the case that punk can be used as a lens informing our investigations of other objects\, scenes\, themes\, and theories. The information of punk as method is not assuming punk “has all the answers\,” but rather that through subversive aesthetic shock and rupture\, punk has the potential to open up new ways of thinking through not only our discourses\, but also the social world from which they arise. \n\n  \nFriday Forum Spring 2016 Schedule \nFridays\, 12:30 – 2:00pm\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. \nApril 8th- Andrew Woods\, Politics\nApril 15th- Claudia Lopez\, Sociology\nApril 22nd- Jordan Reznick\, HAVC\nApril 29th- Erin McElroy- Feminist Studies\nMay 6th- Raul Tadle- Economics\nMay 13th- Cathy Thomas\, Literature\nMay 20th- Trung Nguyen\, History of Consciousness\nMay 27th- Rebecca Ora\, Film of Digital Media\nJune 3rd- Veronica Zablotsky\, Feminist Studies

SUMMARY:Anne MacNeil: “A new breed of critical edition: the role of digital humanities in transforming music scholarship”
DESCRIPTION:Hands on (Digital) Humanities with Prof. Anne MacNeil \nAnne MacNeil will give a demonstration of her digital humanities project\, IDEA Music\, and the new software toolkit\, Prospect\, that powers it. In the last year\, MacNeil’s close collaboration with programmer Michael Newton (UNC Digital Innovation Lab) and other members of the DIL community in developing Prospect has resulted in a powerful platform that has transformed IDEA Music into a multi-dimensional\, multi-media publication that challenges the tradition concept of “critical edition”. The presentation will include a brief video from Michael Newton about his conceptualization of the data science underlying Prospect\, together with MacNeil’s demonstration of the project administrator’s role in configuring relational databases and visualizations and of the front-end user interface (GUI). Also included will be a description of Professor MacNeil’s work with bioinformatics specialists in developing a model for music analysis using a modified Waterman algorithm\, originally developed for analyzing amino acids. \nCo-sponsored by the Music Department\, Italian Studies\, and The Gary D. Licker Memorial Chair\, Cowell College \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Gayle Salamon: "Gender Essentialism and Eidetic Inquiry"
DESCRIPTION:This talk revisits the essentialism debates within feminism\, and reconsiders the impasse in which those debates landed. What understanding of “essence” was operative in those conversations about gender essentialism? And might there be a different way of thinking about the relation between essence and gender? I turn to singular and plural essences in Merleau-Ponty and Husserl’s concept of eidetic variation\, showing that that phenomenology offers an articulation of essence in which variation and temporal unfolding\, rather than fixity and atemporality\, are primary. The phenomenological concept of essence\, I will argue\, offers a way to reconsider essentialism that steers clear of the straits of bilogical determinism and social constructionism that have deadlocked previous conversations about gender and essence. \nAbout:\nGayle Salamon is an Associate Professor of English and Gender and Sexuality Studies at Princeton University. Research interests include phenomenology\, queer and trans theory\, feminist philosophy\, 20th Century Continental philosophy\, psychoanalysis\, and disability studies.

SUMMARY:Introducing Contemplative Approaches to Higher Education: A Public Roundtable with Leaders in the Field
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative pedagogy is an integrated approach to teaching and learning that sees education as a transformative process rather than simply a means of accumulating\ninformation. With an emphasis on curiosity\, collaboration\, engagement\, and student-centered learning\, contemplative approaches seek to cultivate thinkers and responders rather than consumers of knowledge. Practitioners forge links between traditional disciplinary wisdom and the environmental\, ethical\, and economic challenges facing humankind. \nThe goal of contemplative pedagogy\, as articulated by the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society\, is to foster “true community\, deeper insight\, sustainable living\, and a more just society.” \nFriday\, April 15 @ 2-4 pm\nPublic Roundtable on Contemplative Approaches in Higher Education\nMcHenry Library Room 4286\nThis roundtable brings together leaders in the field with expertise in diverse disciplines\, including the Humanities\, the Natural Sciences\, and Legal Studies. \nSaturday\, April 16 @ 9am-5pm\nContemplative Pedagogy Symposium\nA day-long Symposium will follow on Saturday\, April 16th. We’ll read central texts in the field of Contemplative Pedagogy and discuss them with our panel of experts. If you would like to participate in the symposium\, please email ihr@ucsc.edu. Click here for more info on the Symposium. \nVisitors\nRhonda Magee\, Professor of Law at the University of San Francisco\, School of Law\, and a teacher of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Her scholarly work focuses on race law and policy as well as on humanizing legal education and the practice of law. This effort aims to help law students and practitioners cope with pressure in order to be more successful and effective. A national leader in the movement to humanize law and legal education\, and an expert in contemplative pedagogy\, Professor Magee recently published “Contemplative Practices and the Renewal of Legal Education\,” New Directions for Teaching and Learning: Contemplative Studies in Higher Education\, no. 134\, (Jossey Bass\, 2013)\, 31.” Magee’s courses share a common theme of examining how law responds to the vulnerable in society. She is the author of numerous journal articles\, including “Educating Lawyers to Meditate?” (University of Missouri–Kansas City Law Review\, 2011)\, “Slavery as Immigration?” (University of San Francisco Law Review\, 2009)\, and “Competing Narratives\, Competing Jurisprudences: Are Law Schools Racist?” (University of San Francisco Law Review\, 2009). \n \nErin McCarthy\, Professor and Chair of Philosophy and Professor in Asian Studies\, St. Lawrence University. Dr. Erin McCarthy came to St. Lawrence in 2000. She teaches Asian\, feminist\, continental and comparative philosophy. Author of the book Ethics Embodied: Rethinking Selfhood through Continental\, Japanese and Feminist Philosophies (Lexington\, 2010)\, her work has been published in several anthologies and journals in both French and English and she regularly presents her scholarship both nationally and internationally. She was an inaugural recipient of the “Frederick P. Lenz Foundation Residential Fellowship for Buddhist Studies and American Culture and Values” at Naropa University in 2009. Dr. McCarthy sits on the Editorial board of the journal Comparative and Continental Philosophy and is Co-editor of the ASIANetwork Exchange: A journal for Asian Studies and the Liberal Arts. She has also served as Chair of the Board of Directors of ASIANetwork (a consortium of over 170 North American colleges). Currently\, her research interests are taking two directions – the first\, a project titled “Re-imagining Maternity\,”is a comparative philosophical re-thinking of the norms of maternity; and the second looks at the ways in which contemplative education can be enriched by incorporating feminist philosophies. \n \nPeter Grossenbacher\, Professor in Contemplative Education and Contemplative Psychology\, Naropa University. Professor Grossenbacher directs Naropa’s internationally known Consciousness Laboratory. In collaboration with students in the lab\, he conducts empirical research on meditation instruction\, worldview transformation\, and engagement with awareness. His research has been covered in the New York Times\, Smithsonian Magazine\, and Discover Magazine. Grossenbacher teaches courses in Perception\, Neuroscience\, Mindfulness Meditation\, Cognitive Psychology\, Personality\, and Research Methods. He previously conducted research on human attention at the National Institute of Mental Health\, and taught at the University of Oregon\, England’s University of Cambridge\, and American University in Washington\, D.C. A practitioner of meditation since 1980\, he speaks internationally on contemplative education\, synesthesia\, meditation\, and the brain. \nContemplative Approaches to Higher Education are some of the most exciting and fast-growing developments in post-secondary education in the US.\nTo see the kind of work being done by some of the leading national centers for Contemplative Approaches\, please visit the following websites: \nThe Association for Contemplative Mind in Higher Education         \nUniversity of Virginia Contemplative Sciences Center                      \nBrown University Contemplative Studies Initiative                           \nUniversity of Michigan Program in Creativity and Consciousness Studies       \nNaropa University Contemplative Education Program                       \nSponsors\nInstitute for Humanities Research\, Contemplative Pedagogy Research Cluster\, Center for Public Philosophy\, Bill Ladusaw\, Literature Department\, Philosophy Department\, Graduate Division\, Porter College\, Oakes College\, College Eight\, Social Sciences Division.

SUMMARY:La Ironía y Anticlericalismo En Halma
DESCRIPTION:UCSC Spanish Studies and the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics Present: \nLA IRONÍA Y ANTICLERICALISMO EN HALMA \nÁLVARO ROMERO MARCO (UCSC) \nMás allá de las clasificaciones y evoluciones que la crítica ha venido realizando\, la novelística de Galdós es consecuencia de su ideología\, pues la realidad es observada y transformada a través de su apuesta por la modernidad. En el caso de Halma\, los pilares que sustentan la enseñanza que quiere trasmitir el autor son la distancia socarrona y un convencido anticlericalismo; una ironía sin acidez y siempre constructiva y una desconfianza en la institución eclesiástica que nunca significa un ataque a la visión religiosa de la existencia. Tradicionalmente esta novela\, que Ediciones Alfar tiene a bien ofrecer al lector\, ha sido editada y analizada a la sombra de la famosa “segunda manera” y\, particularmente\, como la segunda parte de Nazarín. Esta edición presenta la obra aislándola de esas ataduras para que pueda ser leída de manera independiente. En cualquier caso\, no hay duda de que Halma es otra de las grandes novelas del autor. \n\n\n*Light refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Tony Michels: "Soviet America: The Russian Revolution in Jewish Life”
DESCRIPTION:The Russian Revolution of 1917 radically altered American Jewish politics.  Whereas most Americans viewed the revolution as a threat to western civilization\, Jews wished for the success of the Bolsheviks\, who offered the only possibility of rescue from the mass slaughter carried out by anti-Communist forces.   A minority of Jews went so far as to join the American Communist Part with the hope of replicating the Russian Revolution on American soil.   Although only a minority\, Communists put forward a persistently attractive alternative to the dominant model of Americanization\, according to which Jews ought to integrate into a liberal\, political order.   In the decades following the Russian Revolution\, American Jews moved between competing poles of Communism and liberalism and\, simultaneously\,  between competing ideals of universalism and Jewish particularity.  All the while\, Jews wrestled with the question of totalitarianism\, one of the most divisive questions of the twentieth century.   What was Soviet Russia?   Was it a daring social experiment that wedded scientific planning with ideals of equality in all areas of human endeavor?  Or was the Soviet Union a vast prison system built upon ruthless repression of the working class?  Over a four decade period\, from the outbreak of the Russian Revolution until the end of the Second World War\, a period framed by enormous catastrophes yet animated by utopian visions of social justice\, American Jews defined themselves in relation to the Soviet Union. \nTony Michels is George L. Mosse Associate Professor of American Jewish History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He teaches courses in American Jewish history\, with a special emphasis on immigration\, politics\, and comparative ethnic history\, as well as courses in labor history and radical political movements. His research focuses on the political and cultural history of the Jews. He is author of A Fire in Their Hearts: Yiddish Socialists in New York (2005)\, winner of the Salo Baron Prize from the American Academy for Jewish Research\, and Jewish Radicals: A Documentary History (2012). He is currently working on a book about the relationship of American Jews to Soviet Russia between the 1920s and 1960s. \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Walter Sinnott-Armstrong "Implicit Moral Attitudes"
DESCRIPTION:Most moral philosophers and psychologists focus on explicit moral beliefs that people give as answers to questions. However\, much research in social psychology shows that implicit moral attitudes (unconscious beliefs or associations) also affect our thinking and behavior. This talk will report our new psychological and neuroscientific research on implicit moral attitudes (using a process dissociation procedure) and then explore potential implications for scientific moral psychology as well as for philosophical theories of moral epistemology\, responsibility\, and virtue. If there is time\, I will discuss practical uses of these findings in criminal law\, especially regarding the treatment of psychopaths and prediction of their recidivism. \nWalter Sinnott-Armstrong is Chauncey Stillman Professor of Practical Ethics in the Department of Philosophy and the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University. He has published widely on ethics (theoretical and applied as well as meta-ethics)\, empirical moral psychology and neuroscience\, philosophy of law\, epistemology\, philosophy of religion\, and informal logic. His current work is on moral psychology and brain science as well as uses of neuroscience in legal systems.

SUMMARY:Mireille Lee “The Archaeology of Ancient Greek Dress”
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Society of the Archaeological Institute of America and The UCSC Archaeological Research Center present: \nArchaeology provides important evidence for ancient Greek dress\, which was essential to the construction of social identities. Although no complete garments survive\, preserved fragments of silk and embroideries indicate the elite status of the wearer. Jewelry\, dress fasteners\, toilet implements\, perfume vessels\, cosmetics\, and mirrors are also important indicators of status and gender. The visual sources\, including sculpture and vase-painting\, depict men and women performing various dress practices. Although some practices\, such as bathing and the use of perfumes\, are common to both genders\, others are specific to either men or women. The visual sources demonstrate other aspects of identity: age and social role are often indicated by hairstyle\, whereas ethnicity is also conveyed by means of garments and body-modifications. Although dress is often considered a mundane aspect of culture\, Professor Lee argues that dress provides unique insight into ancient Greek ideologies. \nRefreshments at 4:30 and reception to follow the lecture \nFree parking for lecture in the lower Cowell parking lot \nMireille Lee is Assistant Professor with the Departments of History of Art and Classical Studies at Vanderbilt University\, and holds her degrees from Bryn Mawr (Ph.D.) and Occidental College. Her research interests include Greek art and archaeology\, in particular the construction of gender in ancient visual and material culture. She has published widely on the social functions of dress in ancient Greece\, including her volume Body\, Dress\, and Identity in Ancient Greece (Cambridge University Press\, 2015). Her current research focuses on ancient Greek mirrors as social objects. \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Charlie Jane Anders
DESCRIPTION:Charlie Jane Anders: I’m probably the only person to have become a fictional character in a Star Trek novel and in one of Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City books. \nI’m the editor of io9.com\, where I’m probably best known for my reviews of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and The Last Airbender. Ormy super detailed look at the making of Mork and Mindy. Or for my Game of Thrones recaps. Or for my writing advice columns. Ormy in-depth investigation of people who claim HIV doesn’t cause AIDS. Or my geeky articles about topics like the search for a cure for cancer\, or how Leonard Nimoy changed everything\, or how the TV show Star Blazers helped me deal with being bullied. Or just generally being an obnoxious loud-mouth. \nI won the Emperor Norton Award\, for “extraordinary invention and creativity unhindered by the constraints of paltry reason.” \nI have published a ton of short fiction – way over 100 short stories at this point. I’ve stopped counting. My stories have appeared in Tor.com\, Lightspeed Magazine\,McSweeney’s Internet Tendency\, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction\, Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine\, Tin House\, ZYZZYVA\, Strange Horizons\, Apex Magazine\,Uncanny Magazine\, 3 AM Magazine\, Flurb.net\, Monkey Bicycle\, Pindeldyboz\, Instant City\, Broken Pencil\, and in tons and tons of anthologies. One year\, I was in one of the Year’s Best SF anthologies and in Best Lesbian Erotica at the same time. My novelette “Six Months\, Three Days” won a Hugo Award and was shortlisted for the Nebula and Theodore Sturgeon awards. My novel Choir Boy won a Lambda Literary Award and was shortlisted for the Edmund White Award. \nI organizeWriters With Drinks\, which is a monthly reading series here in San Francisco that mashes up a ton of different genres. Every month\, I make up weird fictional bios for the readers and performers\, and nobody’s sued yet. Readers/performers at Writers With Drinks have included the aforementioned Armistead Maupin\, plus Mary Gaitskill\, Amy Tan\, Rick Moody\, Jonathan Lethem\, Dorothy Allison\, W. Kamau Bell\, Luis Alberto Urrea\, Ruth Ozeki\, Ishmael Reed\, Karen Joy Fowler\, Maureen McHugh and just countless others. The SF Chronicle did a really nice article about Writers With Drinks. \nBack in 2007\, Annalee Newitz and I put out a book of first-person stories by female geeks called She’s Such a Geek: Women Write About Science\, Technology and Other Nerdy Stuff. There was a lot of resistance to doing this book\, because nobody believed there was a market for writing about female geeks. Also\, Annalee and I put out a print magazine calledother\, which was about pop culture\, politics and general weirdness\, aimed at people who don’t fit into other categories. To raise money for other magazine\, we put on events like a Ballerina Pie Fight – which is just what it sounds like – and a sexy show in a hair salon where people took off their clothes while getting their hair cut. \n\n  \nSpring 2016 Living Writers Series: Out of Line \nWhy Out of Line? \n“I chose the theme Out of Line because it characterizes the way many of these writers work across genre\, in different genres\, and generally seem to prize the element of surprise in their writing. I’m hoping it will encourage our students to think outside the box and have fun with their writing. In general\, I’m confident this will be a really fun series with a lot of writers with great senses of humor as well as deep interests in the political.” – Professor Micah Perks \nThis event is free and open to the public! Books from the authors will be on sale at the event by the Bay Tree Book Store. Get a book and get it signed by our marvelous visiting authors! \nThursdays\, 6:00-7:45 PM\nHumanities Lecture Hall\, 206 \nApril 7: Githa Hariharan (CANCELED)\nApril 14: Kate Schatz\nApril 21: Manuel Gonzales\nApril 28: Charlie Jane Anders\nMay 5: NO READING\nMay 12: Elizabeth McKenzie\nMay 19: Lev Grossman\nMay 26: Emily Hunt & Julien Poirier\nJune 2: Student Reading

SUMMARY:The Jungle and the Beast: A Conversation with Lewis Watts and Óscar Martínez
DESCRIPTION:The Jungle and the Beast: A Conversation with Lewis Watts and Óscar Martínez is the second event in the Borders and Belonging Series hosted by the CLRC. In The Beast (Los migrantes que no importan\, in the original Spanish)\, intrepid Salvadoran journalist Óscar Martínez accompanies migrants on “the Beast\,” the train that travels from Central America through Mexico to the United States. Meanwhile\, UCSC Professor Emeritus Lewis Watts has captured some of the stasis of migration in his recent photos of “the Jungle\,” the makeshift migrant camp in Calais\, France. Mr. Martínez discusses the migrant trail and Professor Watts shares some of his recent photos from Calais.\nClick here for more info and to register for the event. \nThe title of Martinez’s celebrated book comes from la Bestia\, the old and decrepit train thousands of migrants cling to every day in the hopes of crossing from Central America heading north. Intimately familiar with this scene from his days of on-the-ground reporting in El Salvador\, Martinez compiled his short briefs into one searing look at the crisis of those who many call the “invisible people.” Martinez also is a staff writer for El Faro out of San Salvador and runs “Sala Negra\,” a project with fellow journalists\, investigating the challenging questions addressing and concerning gang violence in Central America. Launched in 2011\, la Sala Negra cover Nicaragua\, Honduras\, El Salvador and Guatemala; four of the most volatile regions in the world today. The consortium works on issues mostly related to organized crime\, prison systems and the culture of violence in the region. Martinez is widely considered a leading voice on these topics and migration related concerns throughout Latin America \nLewis Watts’ photos of “La jungle\,” the makeshift migrant camp in Calais\, France\, describe an intimate and profound look at one of the most dangerous and heavily-trafficked migrant crossings in the world. As the Syrian refugee crisis continues to unfold in the news\, Professor Watts’ imagery shows the universal face of the immigrant and forced migration struggle. The conversation will also be joined by Jennifer González\, Professor of History of Art and Visual Culture\, who will moderate the morning’s conversation about migrants and migration in different regions of the world. \nÓscar Martínez is the author of Los migrantes que no importan: En el camino con los centroamericanos indocumentados en México (Icaria/El Faro\, 2010)\, which was translated by Daniela Maria Ugaz and John Washington as The Beast: Riding the Rails and Dodging Narcos on the Migrant Trail (Verso\, 2013). The New York Times has described Mr. Martínez’s writing as “graceful” and “incisive.” His second book\, A History of Violence\, is forthcoming from Verso in 2016. Based in El Salvador\, he writes for Elfaro.net\, Latin America’s first online newspaper. \nLewis Watts joined the Art Department at UC Santa Cruz in 2001 after having taught at UC Berkeley for 23 years. He is a photographer of cultural and urban landscapes\, with a focus on the African diaposora. He has photographed African and Afro-descent communities in the United States\, Latin America\, and Europe and is the co-author (with Elizabeth Pepin) ofHarlem of the West: The San Francisco Jazz Fillmore Era (Chronicle Books\, 2005) and (with Eric Porter) New Orleans Suite: Music and Culture in Transition (University of California\, 2013). \nFor questions\, please contact Catherine Ramírez at cathysue@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Erin McElroy
