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

SUMMARY:An Immersion into Dickensian Cocktails
DESCRIPTION:Charles Dickens was a unique and protean fellow; writer\, social commentator\, reporter\, actor\, father\, and much more.He was also a great lover of the table and glass\, a noteworthy bon vivant who created wondrous punches\, cups\, cocktails\, and other nourishing potations\, in novels as well as in daily life. This lecture will address Dickens’s skill with wine\, ale\, cider\, rum\, and gin\, interspersed with cocktail demonstrations\, allowing time to taste and ponder these delicious beverages\n\nBurke Owens is a long time Bay Area wine and food industry professional\, educator\, former sommelier\, punch aficionado\, and most  importantly\, parent of two UCSC alums. He now serves as senior pastor at the Petaluma United Methodist Church. His appreciation of food and wine\, of Dickens and the arts\, can all be traced back to his mother who cooked\, his father who sculpted\, and each one’s passionate love of literature.\n Watch Burke’s tutorial to learn how to prepare Cold Gin Punch\, a traditional Victorian beverage. {https://vimeo.com/49291630}\n\nRegistration link:\nREGISTER HERE
