SUMMARY:PhD+: Ken Wissoker (Duke UP): An Insider's Guide to Academic Publishing
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nHow different is the structure of your dissertation from the form of your first book? Who are the audiences for your research? How soon after completing the dissertation should you expect to begin drafting and pitching your book proposal? What is the history behind these publishing norms and how did they become what they are today? \nThese are some of the mysteries around academic publishing that Ken Wissoker\, the editorial director for Duke University Press and the director of The Graduate Center at CUNY’s Intellectual Publics program\, will demystify for us. Ken is known for giving people an optimistic way of thinking about their own work\, to help them see what is really at stake in their research and how to structure a book around it. This event promises to generate a lively discussion around all aspects of academic publishing from edited volumes to developing your first book manuscript. Bring your questions\, concerns\, and anxieties \n  \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series\nPlease join us for the third year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by the Institute for Humanities Research. We 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. \nLunch will be served. \nPlease RSVP below: \nLoading…

SUMMARY:Friday Forum: Elizabeth Goldman
DESCRIPTION:Once Helpful\, Always Helpful? Infants’ Expectations About Helping and Hindering Behavior Across Scenarios \nThe present work examined 16 to 18 month-olds’abilities to generalize a person’s tendency to help or hinder across multiple scenarios. Infants saw three familiarization events where an agent consistently helped or hindered another agent. In test\, infants saw two test trials (consistent or inconsistent with the behavior in familiarization) in a new scenario. Experiment 1 showed that infants tracked a person’s helping behavior across scenarios and expected the person to be helpful again in the future. However\, generalizing a person’s tendency to hinder proved more challenging. Experiment 2 replicated the positive results in Experiment 1 and showed that with the stronger cues of hindering intent\, tracking hindering behavior across events appeared easier for infants. \nElizabeth Goldman is Psychology PhD student who works in the Infant Development Lab. Her research\nprimarily focuses on children’s understanding of prosocial (helping) behavior. This project looks at whether\nchildren expect a person’s helping or hindering behavior to continue and carryover to other situations. \nFriday Forum is a weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities. Join us for light refreshments and weekly presentations by your fellow graduate students. Friday Forum is supported by the Graduate Student Association\, the Humanities Institute\, and the following departments: HAVC\, Literature\, and History of Consciousness.

SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquium: Kristen Syrett\, Rutgers University
DESCRIPTION:“Experimental evidence for context sensitivity in the nominal domain: What children and adults reveal” \nAbstract: Part of what it means to become a proficient speaker of a language is to recognize that the context in which we communicate with each other\, including what a speaker’s intentions or goals are\, affects the way we arrive at certain interpretations. This seems entirely reasonable for context-dependent expressions like pronouns (they) or relative gradable adjectives (big\, expensive)\, but what about seemingly stable expressions\, such as count nouns (fork\, ball)? Are words like these—words that appear early in child-directed and child-produced speech—also sensitive to context? In collaborative research with Athulya Aravind (MIT)\, we have asked precisely this question. We start with a curious yet robust puzzle observed in the developmental psychology literature: young children\, when presented with a set of partial and whole objects (like forks) and asked to count or quantify them\, appear to treat the partial objects as if they were wholes (Shipley & Shepperson 1990\, among others). While children’s non-adultlike behavior may be taken to signal a conceptual shift in development\, we adopt a different perspective\, entertaining the possibility that children are doing something that adults might indeed be willing to do in certain instances\, and that their response patterns reveal something interesting about the context sensitivity of nouns\, which we argue is similar to that seen with gradable adjectives. Across three tasks\, we show that adults and children are more alike than the previous research has revealed: both age groups not only include partial objects but also impose limits on their inclusion in a category\, depending on the speaker’s intentions or goals and the perceptual representation of the object\, and a comparison with gradable adjectives reveals (perhaps surprisingly) that adults recruit a minimum standard of comparison for nominals. Thus\, we argue there is conceptual and linguistic continuity in this aspect of development\, and that experimental data from both children and adults sheds light on the semantics of nominal expressions.

SUMMARY:Danny Snelson: "The Little Database: A Poetics of Media Formats"
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nThe Little Database: A Poetics of Media Formats\nDanny Snelson (UCLA\, English) \nAs you read these lines\, the Utah Data Center continues its process of deciphering untold exabytes of information collected by the NSA. This enterprise\, like certain strands in the digital humanities and the corporate world alike\, stakes its hopes for meaningful interpretation of the present on the parsing of tremendous amounts of data. Directly responding to these currents\, I turn to the little database as an integral model for understanding our place in a rapidly changing information environment. Ranging from a private collection of MP3s hosted on your personal computer to a collection of poetry readings on a university-hosted website like PennSound\, a little database is at once too large to “read” in a traditional way and\, at the same time\, small enough to be absolutely ordinary. Like the little magazines of the historical avant-gardes\, the little database presents a dynamic forum for investigating the situation of politics\, aesthetics\, and meaning in a time of extensive technological change. In this presentation\, I discuss a series of influential sites presenting avant-garde art and letters online\, including Eclipse\, PennSound\, and UbuWeb. Tracing the transformative role of media formats\, I examine an unlikely and contingent poetics that emerges through the use and reuse of historical works across the formats and platforms of the present.

SUMMARY:Tyler Stovall: "White Freedom: The Racial History of an Idea"
DESCRIPTION:Aptos Community Reads presents: \nWhite Freedom: The Racial History of an Idea \nPresented by: Tyler Stovall\, Dean of Humanities\, University of California\, Santa Cruz \nThe relationship between freedom and race has been one of the key themes of modern society and politics in the Western world. The enduring presence of racism in the history of America\, a nation built both upon ideas of liberty and upon African slavery\, Indian genocide\, and systematic racial discrimination\, has provided the most dramatic (but not the only) example of this complex relationship. In this talk\, Dean of the Humanities Division and French historian\, Tyler Stovall\, will explore the ways in which freedom and race are not just enemies but also allies whose histories cannot be understood separately. Part of the Humanities Institute’s Freedom and Race series. \nMarch 6\, 2018 @ 6:30 p.m. (doors open at 6) \n  \n\nThe Aptos Community Reads program is designed to bring members of the Santa Cruz County community together around one book. This year the winning book is: \nBorn a Crime\nStories from a South African Childhood\n by Trevor Noah \n\n \n#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER\n WINNER OF THE THURBER PRIZE for AMERICAN HUMOR \nThis memoir depicts Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show. Born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother his birth was an offence punishable by five years in prison. Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. \n  \nFrom late January through early March 2018 the selected book\, and themes in the book\, will be highlighted in a series of special events:  Films  •  Art Exhibits  •  Discussion Groups  •  Trivia Nights •  Guest Speakers  •   Happy Hours •  Music •  Story Times • and more. \nWe encourage all readers to get involved! \nGifts of $50 or more\, received by March 1\, 2018\, will entitle you to a free copy of the winning book! \nDonate online.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum: Kiki Loveday
DESCRIPTION:What You Love: The Library at Alexandria\, Quotation\, and Survival \nThe figure of Sappho is paradigmatic of the queer-feminist archive: she is the founding figure of female artistic genius and sexual deviance in Western Civilization\, yet neither her work nor her story has survived. Between 1896 and 1931 over twenty cinematic versions of Sappho were produce for the screen\, making it one of the most ubiquitous texts of the silent film era. Yet this once wildly popular and frequently re-made text has been all but erased from cinema history. How might we reimagine the parameters of cinema and media history and theory by reimagining and remaking the parameters of the archive? Drawing examples from What You Love\, an archive of contemporary queer feelings produced in residency at The Huntington Library in Los Angeles\, this presentation will rethink the history of cinema and sexuality\, questioning contemporary conceptions of romantic love\, the loss of queer female voices from the historical imagination\, and the parameters of the archive. \nKiki Loveday is a PhD student in Film and Digital Media. She is an experimental filmmaker obsessed with deconstructing (and reconstructing) cinematic conventions: rethinking genre\, mixing mediums\, and practicing alternative production paradigms. Much of her work is concerned with isolation\, people’s sometimes silly and heartbreaking inability to fit-in\, connect with each other\, or figure out how to live in a culture they didn’t create. \nFriday Forum is a weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities. Join us for light refreshments and weekly presentations by your fellow graduate students. Friday Forum is supported by the Graduate Student Association\, the Humanities Institute\, and the following departments: HAVC\, Literature\, and History of Consciousness.

SUMMARY:IPAs are like a Hoppy Craft Beer: Acquiring a Taste for Task-based Language Teaching and Integrated Performance Assessments
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics is pleased to present: \n“IPAs are Like a Hoppy Craft Beer: Acquiring a Taste for Task-based Language Teaching and Integrated Performance Assessments” \nJill Pellettieri\, Ph.D. \nThis workshop focuses on the Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) as simply one specific model of task-based language learning and assessment. Like the hoppy beer\, it pairs well in some settings but not in others. We will critically examine the IPA with an eye towards identifying its strengths and weaknesses as a tool for assessment in university language courses and programs. Participants will learn general principles for designing authentic\, integrated language tasks and specific guidelines for modifying and adapting the ACTFL IPA for their language courses. It is unclear at this time whether we will actually be sampling craft brews. \n  \nJill Pellettieri is an Associate Professor of Spanish and chair of the Department of Modern Languages & Literatures at Santa Clara University. She received her Ph.D. in Spanish applied linguistics with a Designated Emphasis in Second Language Acquisition from the University of California\, Davis. Her areas of specialization include oral and computer-mediated interaction\, task-based language learning\, and community-based learning. Prior to joining the faculty at SCU\, she was an Associate Professor of Spanish\, Graduate TA trainer and supervisor\, and chair of the Dept. of World Languages at Cal State San Marcos. She has published several articles and book chapters in her areas of specialization\, and she has authored and coauthored several textbooks for the teaching of Spanish at the university level\, including Palabra abierta\, an advanced composition text\, and Rumbos\, a textbook for intermediate Spanish.

SUMMARY:And Then They Came for Us: "From the Incarceration of Japanese Americans to the Travel Ban"
DESCRIPTION:Seventy-five years ago\, Executive Order 9066 paved the way to the profound violation of constitutional rights that resulted in the forced incarceration of 120\,000 Japanese Americans.  “And Then They Came for Us” brings history into the present\, retelling this difficult story and following Japanese American activists as they speak out against the Muslim registry and travel ban.  Knowing our history is the first step to ensuring we do not repeat it.  “And Then They Came for Us” is a cautionary and inspiring tale for these dark times. Part of the Humanities Institute’s Freedom and Race Series. \nPresented by The Humanities Institute and Cowell College. Co-sponsored by the Office for Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, CRES\, Stevenson College\, the History Department\, and McHenry Library. \nDue to overwhelming interest\, this event is SOLD OUT. We hope to see you at another event soon!  \nFilm screening and panel discussion. \n6:40 pm – Doors open \n7:00 pm – program begins \nParking and directions to the Del Mar Theater here \nIf you have disability-related needs\, please contact The Humanities Institute at thi@ucsc.edu or call 831-459-1274. \nFeaturing: \nAbby Ginzberg – Director “And Then They Came for Us” \nDonald K. Tamaki – Managing Partner of Minami Tamaki \nAmmad Rafiqi – Civil rights attorney with the Council on American Islamic Relations \nQ & A moderated by Alice Yang – History Professor\, UC Santa Cruz \nAbby Ginzberg is a Peabody-winning producer and director who has been making award-winning documentaries about race and social justice for the past 30 years. Her most recent film\, “And Then They Came for Us” has screened at film festivals across the country. Agents of Change\, co-directed with Frank Dawson\, tells the story of the black-led student protest movement of the late 1960’s on college campuses. It will be broadcast on America Reframed in Feb\, 2018. \nHer film Soft Vengeance: Albie Sachs and the New South Africa won a Peabody award in 2015 and has screened at film festivals around the world\, winning four audience awards for Best Documentary. The Barber of Birmingham\, (Consulting Producer)\, was nominated for an Oscar in the short doc category in 2012. \nDonald K. Tamaki is the Managing Partner of Minami Tamaki LLP in San Francisco. In 1983 to 1985\, he served on the legal team which reopened the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case of Fred Korematsu\, overturning his criminal convictions for refusing to be interned. The reopening was based on newly discovered evidence from the Justice Department\, War Department\, Navy\, F.B.I.\, and F.C.C. admitting that Japanese Americans had committed no wrong and posed no threat. Other Justice Department memoranda characterized the Army’s claims that Japanese Americans were spying as “intentional falsehoods.” These official reports were never presented to the Supreme Court\, having been intentionally suppressed\, altered and destroyed pursuant to the orders of high government officials so as to manipulate the outcome of the Korematsu decision. Mr. Tamaki graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UC Berkeley in 1973 and received his J.D. from Berkeley in 1976. Upon graduation\, he practiced poverty and civil rights law in San Jose and there\, he co- founded the Asian Law Alliance\, a public interest law firm which has provided representation and advocacy for thousands of low-income Asian Americans in Santa Clara County\, and is a past Executive Director of the Asian Law Caucus in San Francisco\, the nation’s first public interest law firm representing Asian Americans in civil rights and poverty law cases. \nAmmad Rafiqi is a civil rights attorney with the Council on American Islamic Relations chapter of the San Francisco Bay Area. As the office’s Civil Rights and Legal Services Coordinator\, he assists individuals facing structural and private discrimination\, hate crimes\, law enforcement harassment/surveillance as well as documenting and writing reports.
