SUMMARY:Laurie Halse Anderson Book Launch: SHOUT
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos by Crystal Birns: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nLaurie Halse Anderson is a New York Times bestselling author whose writing spans young readers\, teens\, and new adults. Combined\, her books have sold more than 8 million copies. She has been nominated for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award three times. Two of her books\, Speak and Chains\, were National Book Award finalists\, and Chainswas short-listed for the prestigious Carnegie medal. Laurie was selected by the American Library Association for the 2009 Margaret A. Edwards Award and has been honored for her battles for intellectual freedom by the National Coalition Against Censorship and the National Council of Teachers of English. Join us for a discussion and signing of her new book\, SHOUT – a searing poetic memoir for the #MeToo era. \nLaurie Halse Anderson is known for the unflinching way she writes about\, and advocates for\, survivors of sexual assault. In 1999\, her groundbreaking\, award-winning novel Speak opened the door for a national dialogue about rape culture and consent. Now\, twenty years later\, she reveals her personal history as a rape survivor in a searing poetic memoir\, SHOUT. \nIn free verse\, Anderson shares reflections\, rants\, and calls to action woven between deeply personal stories from her life that she’s never written about before. Searing and soul-searching\, devastating and triumphant\, SHOUT is a denouncement of our society’s failures and a love letter to all the people with the courage to say #MeToo and #TimesUp\, whether aloud\, online\, or only in their own hearts. \nModerated by Sabaa Tahir \nSabaa Tahir is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the An Ember in the Ashes series. She grew up in California’s Mojave Desert at her family’s eighteen-room motel. There\, she spent her time devouring fantasy novels\, raiding her brother’s comic book stash\, and playing guitar badly. She began writing An Ember in the Ashes while working nights as a newspaper editor. She likes thunderous indie rock\, garish socks\, and all things nerd. Sabaa currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her family. \nCo-sponsored by the UCSC Title IX office\, Cowell College\, and UCSC First Gen Initiative \n \nIMPORTANT INFORMATION: \n\nThis event is for mature audiences only; children under 13 will not be admitted.\nAttendees must purchase a copy of SHOUT from Bookshop Santa Cruz either in store or at the event to enter the signing line.\nGet a copy of SHOUT at Bookshop Santa Cruz\, at the event\, or at www.bookshopsantacruz.com.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Counterpoints Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Counterpoints: Bay Area Data and Stories for Resisting Displacement\nAn Atlas by the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project \n \nThis event will feature members of the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project will be offering a preview of their new atlas manuscript\, Counterpoints: Bay Area Data and Stories for Resisting Displacement\, which will be released by PM Press in the spring of 2020. The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project (AEMP) is a data visualization\, digital cartography\, and multimedia collective based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The project aims to inform\, empower\, and activate communities impacted by housing inequity and displacement\, supporting the work of collectives fighting for housing justice. By excavating and creating pertinent data\, narratives\, and maps\, the AEMP reorients and repositions power in the community and in the hands of those who are working to restore housing equity in low-income communities and communities of color. Bringing together artists\, activists\, oral historians\, cartographers\, muralists\, and more\, AEMP is rooted in the idea that community-based knowledge production is essential in fighting displacement. \nWhile AEMP has produced hundreds of online interactive maps and oral histories\, numerous videos and reports\, and even several murals\, light projections\, zines\, and posters\, over the last year the project has launched into a new cartographic endeavor. Counterpoints brings together dozens of artists\, activists\, designers\, and cartographers to produce a manuscript-length series of maps\, graphics\, poems\, and text. Content is divided into seven chapters\, including: Migration and Relocation; Indigenous Geographies; Evictions and Root Shock; Public Health and Environmental Racism; Financial Speculation and Speculative Futures; Carcerality and Abolition; and Transportation\, Infrastructure\, and Economy. Counterpoints encompasses geographies ranging from Vallejo to Santa Cruz in an effort to tell a regional story of gentrification\, particularly as it is racialized and classed. Different project members are editing and producing original visual content for each chapter\, and also working with numerous new community and partners and contributors\, thereby expanding the existing scope of AEMP’s work. In addition to the book\, AEMP crafting online interactive content and downloadable educational material\, which will be available on the PM Press and AEMP websites. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Barry Lam - Fighting the Future: The Philosophy of Predictive Algorithms in Criminal Justice
DESCRIPTION:At different stages of the criminal justice system\, from policing\, bail hearings\, and sentencing\, computerized algorithms are replacing human decision-making in determining where to police\, who to arrest\, who goes to jail\, and who goes free. This talk will introduce people to how these algorithms work\, the under-appreciated moral problems with their implementation\, and how the future of criminal justice depends on decisions we make now about the risks we are willing to tolerate for public safety. \nOrganized by the Humanities Institute\, Data and Democracy Initiative\, and Center for Public Philosophy

SUMMARY:2nd Annual Grad Student Conference: “Citizenship in Flux: Migration and Exclusion in World History\, 1750-2019”
DESCRIPTION:The rise of nativist or nationalist movements in many countries and the closing of borders to migrants seeking refuge from persecution\, war\, and violence calls into question the world historical context of migration\, borders\, and political belonging. This conference queries citizenship and borders across time and region to make sense of their implications for citizens\, non-citizens \, subjects\, refugees\, and exiles in world history. We welcome broad definitions of “border\,” “citizenship\,” and “migration”to include boundaries that migrate even when people themselves do not\, citizenships that are defined by entities other than the state\, and migrations that don’t require physical movement (eg. movement among identities that can affect citizenship\, like race or religion). \nGraduate Student Conference hosted by: The UCSC Center for World History Program \nCommittee: Daniel Joesten\, Muiris MacGiollabhui\, Jackie Schultz\, Crystal Smith \n8:30–9:00 Opening Remarks\, Coffee\, and Pastries \n9:00-10:30 Panel One: “Religion\, Migration\, and the Politics of Citizenship”  \nChair: Crystal E.

SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquia: Sandy Chung
DESCRIPTION:Sandy Chung\, UC Santa Cruz\, is committed to the idea that lesser-studied languages have as much to contribute to syntactic theory as do languages like English\, French\, and Italian. These interests have shaped her research on syntactic theory and Austronesian languages. Chung began doing fieldwork on Maori\, Tongan\, and Samoan (all languages of the South Pacific) as an undergraduate. As a graduate student\, she did fieldwork on Indonesian. Since 1977\, the main empirical focus of her research has been Chamorro\, a language of the Mariana Islands. \nShe is still (slowly) making progress on the Chamorro reference grammar Chung has been writing since 2009. Currently\, she is collaborating with Dr. Elizabeth D. Rechebei\, Manuel F. Borja\, Tita A. Hocog\, and many others in the CNMI on a revision of the Chamorro-English Dictionary. Finally\, since 2011\, Matt Wagers\, Manuel F. Borja\, and Chung have been collaborating on psycholinguistic research on Chamorro in the Mariana Islands. \nFor More information: https://linguistics.ucsc.edu/news-events/colloquia/index.html

SUMMARY:Vanessa Ogle: "'Funk Money': Decolonization and the Expansion of Tax Havens\, 1950s-1960"
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nThis talk explores the emergence of modern offshore tax havens as a way to reopen the history of the decades ca. 1920s-1980s. During these decades an archipelago of distinct legal spaces appeared in a world otherwise increasingly dominated by more sizable nation-states. Tax havens were particularly important among these spaces\, reaching from the Channel Islands\, Monaco\, and Luxembourg to the Bahamas\, Panama\, and Singapore\, among many others. The talk asks why tax havens in particular expanded significantly between ca. 1945 and 1965\, and points to decolonization and colonial systems of taxation as one answer. It thus sheds light on a crucial period during which much of today’s tax avoidance industry got off the ground\, with lasting implications for the rise of inequality in Europe and North America. \nVanessa Ogle received her PhD at Harvard in 2011\, Assistant\, was a Associate Professor in modern European history at the University of Pennsylvania\, 2011-2017\,  and is currently an Associate Professor\, modern European history\, UC Berkeley\, 2017-present. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided by the Humanities Institute.

DESCRIPTION:Counterpoints: Bay Area Data and Stories for Resisting Displacement\nAn Atlas by the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project \n \nThis event will feature members of the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project will be offering a preview of their new atlas manuscript\, Counterpoints: Bay Area Data and Stories for Resisting Displacement\, which will be released by PM Press in the spring of 2020. The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project (AEMP) is a data visualization\, digital cartography\, and multimedia collective based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The project aims to inform\, empower\, and activate communities impacted by housing inequity and displacement\, supporting the work of collectives fighting for housing justice. By excavating and creating pertinent data\, narratives\, and maps\, the AEMP reorients and repositions power in the community and in the hands of those who are working to restore housing equity in low-income communities and communities of color. Bringing together artists\, activists\, oral historians\, cartographers\, muralists\, and more\, AEMP is rooted in the idea that community-based knowledge production is essential in fighting displacement. \nWhile AEMP has produced hundreds of online interactive maps and oral histories\, numerous videos and reports\, and even several murals\, light projections\, zines\, and posters\, over the last year the project has launched into a new cartographic endeavor. Counterpoints brings together dozens of artists\, activists\, designers\, and cartographers to produce a manuscript-length series of maps\, graphics\, poems\, and text. Content is divided into seven chapters\, including: Migration and Relocation; Indigenous Geographies; Evictions and Root Shock; Public Health and Environmental Racism; Financial Speculation and Speculative Futures; Carcerality and Abolition; and Transportation\, Infrastructure\, and Economy. Counterpoints encompasses geographies ranging from Vallejo to Santa Cruz in an effort to tell a regional story of gentrification\, particularly as it is racialized and classed. Different project members are editing and producing original visual content for each chapter\, and also working with numerous new community and partners and contributors\, thereby expanding the existing scope of AEMP’s work. In addition to the book\, AEMP crafting online interactive content and downloadable educational material\, which will be available on the PM Press and AEMP websites.

SUMMARY:Ahmed Kanna: “De-Exceptionalizing the Arab Gulf: Bringing back Class Struggle & Social Reproduction”
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nDiscourses of urban knowledge professionals (architects\, PR professionals\, etc.) on the Arab Gulf city have framed this city as an “laboratory\,” a “sci-fi” space\, and generally have disconnected the space from its social and historical contexts. In this paper I argue that a Marxist or class struggle perspective can best highlight how such discourses promote imperial and capitalist class power in the Gulf. Through combining this framework with a postcolonial discursive critique and feminist scholarship on social reproduction\, a class struggle perspective both moves us beyond victimization discourses of Gulf labor and highlights global patterns of capitalist accumulation. In turn\, the paper shows how the Gulf is an unexceptional zone of capital accumulation with labor exploitation and social reproduction regimes continuous with\, and shaped by\, similar such regimes in the Global North. \nAhmed Kanna is associate professor of anthropology at University of the Pacific. He is the author of Dubai: The City as Corporation (2011\, University of Minnesota Press)\, De-Exceptionalizing the Field (with Amelie Le Renard and Neha Vora\, forthcoming\, Cornell University Press)\, and articles in Cultural Anthropology\, City\, and Arab Studies Journal among others. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided by the Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Susanah Shaw Romney\, "Unfree Intimacies: Gender and the Taking of Terraqueous Space at Batavia in the Seventeenth Century"
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nColonization is not a one-time land grab\, but rather an ongoing process of claiming space. Batavia\, as the Dutch urban port city on Java in the seventeenth century was known\, provides an opportunity to explore the role of gender in this unfolding process. There\, the appropriation of local and regional terraqueous space relied on a simultaneous colonization of intimate space. Women of Batavia\, as wives\, concubines\, and slaves\, played an often unwilling role in the construction of empire at the intimate\, local\, and transoceanic scales. \nSusanah Shaw Romney\, Assistant Professor\, earned her Ph.D. from Cornell University\, where she worked with Prof. Mary Beth Norton. Her book\, New Netherland Connections\, is the winner of the 2014 Book Prize from the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians\, given annually to a first book published by a woman pertaining substantially to the subject of women and gender; the 2013 Jamestown Prize\, given every two years by the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture; and the 2013 Hendricks Prize\, given annually by the New Netherland Institute. She is now at work on a new project looking at gender\, settlement\, and land claims in the seventeenth-century Dutch empire in North America\, Guyana\, South Africa\, and Java.

SUMMARY:Jody Greene: "Radical Learning - The Heart of the UC Santa Cruz Experience"
DESCRIPTION:This event will review the bold and radical educational vision of UC Santa Cruz since its inception\, while introducing alumni to the innovative 21st-century approaches we are taking to ensure all students can thrive at UC Santa Cruz and leave with the tools to make change in society. We will emphasize the university’s history of active and activist pedagogy; its commitment to an education grounded in social justice; its ahead-of-the-times choice to have no grades and interdisciplinary departments; and its unique status as the only public research university in the country that was also founded as a kind of “alternative school.” The event will include prominent learning scientists as well as undergraduates working on projects related to improving student learning. Participants will give lightning talks on what it takes for students to be outstanding learners in our 21st-century university. \nMore info about Alumni Weekend: https://alumniweekend.ucsc.edu/
