SUMMARY:Speculative Futures of Labor: New Feminist and Critical Race Approaches Symposium
DESCRIPTION:This symposium features emergent approaches to labor in light of the surge of interest in technological socioeconomic transformations (including robotics\, AI\, and app-based on demand services).This symposium\, held on March 2-3\, is part of the UC Speculative Futures Collective (UCSD\, UCR\, UCI\, UCSC) that over a period of two years will feature events which will bring together scholars and others in the field of Speculative Futures to envision more sustainable worlds and futures. \nView the full program schedule by clicking here. \nParticipants include:\nCurtis Marez (UCSD); Jennifer Rhee (VCU); Xiao Liu (McGill); Erin McElroy (NYU); Heather Berg (Wustl); Julietta Hua (SDSU); Kasturi Ray (SDSU) \nWith Responses from:\nFelicity Schaeffer; Savannah Shange; Neel Ahuja; Nick Mitchell; and Carla Freccero \n\nJennifer Rhee is an associate professor of new media in the Department of English at Virginia Commonwealth University. She’s written about robotics and artificial intelligence in technology\, visual and performance art\, literature\, and film in her book The Robotic Imaginary: The Human and the Price of Dehumanized Labor (University of Minnesota Press\, 2018). Her work can also be found in journals including Camera Obscura\, Conigurations\,ASAP/Journal\, and Science Fiction Studies. Supported by an American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship\, she’s currently working on her next book on counting technologies and race\, from nineteenth-century statistics to contemporary big data. \n  \nHeather Berg is assistant professor of Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. Her first book\, Porn Work\, is forthcoming from UNC press (2021). Her writing on sex work and political economy appears in Signs\, WSQ\, Feminist Studies\, and Porn Studies\, among others. \n  \n  \nJulietta Hua has a Ph.D. in Ethnic Studies and is the author of Trafficking Women’s Rights (2011)\, which examines U.S. anti-trafficking laws and policies\, has also published research on chimpanzee sanctuaries\, and the “limits of rights” framework.

The book provides a hitherto unheard prehistory of China’s involvement in the global circulation of information technologies and discourses in the post-Mao 1980s\, and reveals the historical and ideological entanglement between the global rise of futurist fantasies of a coming information society and the advent of postsocialist politics. Her essays on digital culture\, socialist and postsocialist culture\, and information technology have appeared in journals such as Grey Room\, Social Identities\, Differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies. She is currently a McGill University Fellow at the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution of the World Economic Forum. \n  \nErin McElroy is a postdoctoral researcher at New York University’s interdisciplinary AI Now Institute\, researching the intersections of property\, technology\, dispossession\, and race.

SUMMARY:Dávila Santiago and Robles Gutiérrez - Puerto Rico: Filming Resistance and Survival
DESCRIPTION:For the last four years\, Puerto Ricans have experienced challenges that will leave an indelible mark on their collective memory and history. In 2016\, the U.S. government started to implement extreme austerity measures on the island and in 2017\, the island experienced one of the most devastating hurricanes from the past 100 years. In 2019\, weeks of massive street protests resulted in the successful ouster of former governor Ricardo Rosselló\, the first governor to ever resign in Puerto Rico’s history. Over the course of this period\, filmmaker Juan C. Dávila has been traveling back-and-forth to Puerto Rico to film these historic moments in Puerto Rican history. This event will showcase his most important work from this time. \nAs part of the program\, we will screen a short film as well as a work-in-progress about his new upcoming long-form film project\, which follows the resistance movement #SeAcabaronLasPromesas (The Promises Are Over)\, a movement that was born in 2016 in opposition to the new colonial measures imposed by the U.S. Congress over Puerto Rico. Dávila explores the organization of the movement as they occupy the streets\, and engage in the necessary community work that is part of any social movement uprising. The films capture the voices of the young and unemployed\, the elderly without pensions\, the peasants without land\, the communities without schools\, and the survivors of over 500 years of colonialism. \nPost-screening Q&A facilitated by Prof. B. Ruby Rich with film director Juan C. Dávila and activist Marisel Robles Gutierrez. \nEvent is free and open to the public with advance registration required. \nCo-Sponsored by the Research Center for the Americas and The Humanities Institute\, Colleges Nine and Ten\, Environmental Studies Pepper-Giberson Endowed Chair\, Film and Digital Media Department\, Kresge College\, Latin American and Latino Studies Department\, Oakes College\, Politics Department\, Sociology Department\, and The Institute for Social Transformation. \n  \nJuan C. Dávila Santiago is an award-winning documentary filmmaker\, multi-media journalist\, and PhD student of Latin American and Latinx Studies at UC Santa Cruz. Dávila Santiago has directed two feature documentary films: Compañeros de lucha (2012) and Vieques: una batalla inconclusa (2016). Dávila Santiago currently works as a correspondent for Democracy Now! and his work has also been featured in TeleSur\, the Huffington Post\, and The Washington Post. He holds a Bachelor in Arts of Communication from Universidad del Sagrado Corazón in Puerto Rico (2011) and a Master of Arts in Social Documentation from UC Santa Cruz (2015). Currently\, he is the artist in residence of Agitarte\, a cultural organization of working-class artists based in Puerto Rico\, whose work focuses on supporting grassroots social movements\, and agitating for liberation. \n  \nMarisel Robles Gutiérrez is an activist and organizer from the movement “Jornada se acabaron las promesas.” She was born and raised in Río Piedras\, Puerto Rico. During her undergraduate studies at the University of Puerto Rico in Mayagüez\, she actively participatied in the student strike of 2010. Robles Gutiérrez began her radical political formation with the International Socialist Organization (OSI in Spanish)\, and became a central figure in developing “Jornada Se Acabaron Las Promesas\,” which became the main force of opposition to a Fiscal Control Board instituted by the US Congress to push austerity measures in Puerto Rico. She currently works as a coordinator in the Mutual Aid Center “Olla Común” and supports the project of “Comedores Sociales de Puerto Rico.”

SUMMARY:Joseph Blankholm - The Rituals of Secular Purification: Four Ways to Purify Religious Pollution
DESCRIPTION:Being secular means not being religious\, but it also means participating in a religion-like tradition. This paradox shapes the everyday lives of secular people\, as well as institutions that depend on categories like secular\, spiritual\, religious\, and superstitious. Relying on years of ethnographic research among very secular people\, this lecture describes four ways of producing the secular by purifying it of religious pollution. This approach shows how secular people become less religious and how religion and spirituality can be transformed and enabled to circulate in spaces that would otherwise prohibit them. \nJoseph Blankholm is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. His teaching and interdisciplinary research focus primarily on American religion\, secularism\, and secular people. Most recently\, he has published on Karl Marx’s forgotten secularism\, Saba Mahmood’s contribution to the study of religion\, and the contradictory ways in which American law understands nonbelievers. He is currently finishing a manuscript on secular people’s religious ambivalence. \n\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:CANCELLED - Living Writers: Konrad Steiner
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this Thursday’s Living Writers reader\, Konrad Steiner\, wanted to respect the graduate student strike and not cross the picket lines. His reading/performance will be rescheduled for next year.  \nKonrad Steiner is a San Francisco based experimental filmmaker. He has been making 16mm films since 1981\, and since 2004 has been working with musicians and poets on live cinema. From 2004-2006 he was a curator at SF Cinematheque and from 2007-2009 co-produced the Kino21 film series which specialized in documentary and performative cinema. From 1999 to 2012 he made a collaborative film with Leslie Scalapino\, creating a feature length film cycle from her reading her book-length poem\, “way\,” which was the soundtrack. Between 2003 thru 2017 he worked with writers to produce a series of events in SF\, Oakland\, Santa Cruz\, LA\, NY\, Chicago\, Detroit\, Seattle\, and Providence RI around the practice of live film narration\, or “neobenshi” or “the new talkies” or “cinema cabaret.” This is a practice exemplified by the Japanese tradition of the benshi\, or live-narrator to silent films. He will discuss the many braids of this tradition moving off in different forms\, and demonstrate a live method of taking over modern films with the sound turned off using only language. \nMore information about Konrad Steiner is available here

SUMMARY:Beyond the World’s End Exhibition at Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History
DESCRIPTION:In our current moment\, apocalyptic narratives are all around us. They tempt us with their catastrophic fatalism and seemingly inescapable dystopias. Against that danger\, it’s crucial to ask how we might imagine a more socially just and ecologically sustainable future? \nBut is the disaster ahead of us or behind us? Many people around the world–including Indigenous peoples and African-Americans surviving colonialism\, genocides\, and the transatlantic slave trade—consider themselves to be already living in a post-apocalyptic present. \nAddressing this complexity of connecting past\, present\, and future\, this exhibition features art and ideas from the end of the world. It invites us to reflect on the injustices that have brought us to our current moment and asks us to consider options for how to proceed. \nFrom a proposal for a Cross-Border Environmental Commons and time machines to queer indigenous hauntings and Afrofuturist montages\, the artworks in this exhibition draw out the intersectional roots of our crisis and seek to think through and visualize\, struggle against and overcome the social and environmental injustices we face. \nThis exhibition and its associated programming addresses competing urgencies and future threats that are a result of past and present injustices. It brings into focus various proposals for imagining emancipatory futures informed by cultivating worlds of justice and equality. \nThe exhibition is part of Beyond the End of the World which comprises a year-long research and exhibition project and public lecture series\, directed by T. J. Demos of UCSC’s Center for Creative Ecologies. The project brings leading international thinkers and cultural practitioners to UC Santa Cruz to discuss what lies beyond dystopian catastrophism\, and asks how we can cultivate radical futures of social justice and ecological flourishing. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture and administered by The Humanities Institute. For more information visit BEYOND.UCSC.EDU.

SUMMARY:Considering Matthew Shepard
DESCRIPTION:Matthew Shepard was a young gay man\, beaten\, tied to a fence\, and left to die in the Wyoming countryside\, 22 years ago. His death catalyzed a generation of poets\, musicians and playwrights to change our attitudes about being different\, and to embrace “the other.” This beautiful masterpiece has been called the first important major musical work of the 21st century. It is based on Matthew’s life\, the hate crime of his death\, and the national outpouring of compassion which followed. It is an emotionally powerful and uplifting work and speaks with a fresh and bold voice. It ultimately calls each of us to live with kindness\, compassion\, and love. Experiencing this fully staged major choral work is a journey that transcends tragedy to lead us toward beauty and forgiveness. It will move and inspire you. \nFree tickets available for UCSC staff\, faculty and students. Email thi@ucsc.edu for more information.

SUMMARY:Caribbean Shores: Networks and Materalities\, From Slavery to Freedom
DESCRIPTION:The past few decades have witnessed the rapid growth in interest by both historians and archaeologists\, in the everyday lives of enslaved Africans in Caribbean colonial settings. At the same time\, however\, scholars in these closely related fields find few opportunities to interact and learn from one another. In light of this emerging demand for intellectual cross fertilization\, we are hosting a one-day conference to bring scholars of Slavery and the African Diaspora from the UC Campus and beyond into dialogue with one another. A joint collaboration between UCSC’s Center for World History and Archaeological Research Center\, Caribbean Shores will invite scholars in archaeology\, history\, and other related fields to explore the interrelated concepts of networks and materiality\, resistance and marronage\, and sovereignty after slavery\,  to understand the lived experience of enslaved peoples in the Caribbean and its broader littoral. \nView the full program schedule by clicking here. \nOrganized by Greg O’Malley and J. Cameron Monroe\, and co-sponsored by The UC Humanities Research Institute\, the Center for World History\, the Archaeological Research Center\, and The Humanities Institute \n\nKeynote Speakers \nVincent Brown: “The Path to Rebel’s Barricade: Tacky’s Revolt and the Martial Geography of Atlantic Slavery” \nVincent Brown is Charles Warren Professor of American History\, Professor of African and African-American Studies\, and Founding Director of the History Design Studio at Harvard University. His research\, writing\, teaching\, and other creative endeavors are focused on the political dimensions of cultural practice in the African Diaspora\, with a particular emphasis on the early modern Atlantic world. Brown is the author of numerous articles and reviews in scholarly journals\, he is Principal Investigator and Curator for the animated thematic map Slave Revolt in Jamaica\, 1760-1761: A Cartographic Narrative (2013)\, and he was Producer and Director of Research for the award-wining television documentary Herskovits at the Heart of Blackness (2009)\, broadcast nationally on season 11 of the PBS series Independent Lens. His first book\, The Reaper’s Garden: Death and Power in the World of Atlantic Slavery (2008)\, was co-winner of the 2009 Merle Curti Award and received the 2009 James A. Rawley Prize and the 2008-09 Louis Gottschalk Prize. His most recent book is Tacky’s Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War\, published by Belknap Press in January 2020. \n \nTheresa Singleton: “The Current State of African Diaspora Archaeology” \nTheresa Singleton’s areas of interest include historical archaeology\, African Diasporas\, Museums\, North America\, and the Caribbean. Throughout her career as an archaeologist\, she has combined her research interests with developing museum collections\, exhibitions\, lectures\, workshops\, and publications geared toward general audiences. She is particularly interested in comparative studies of slave societies in the Americas. She began her study of slavery in coastal Georgia where African-Americans descended from the former slave population are known as the Gullah-Geechee. (Gullah refers to both the creole language they speak as well as to the people themselves). Since that time\, she has conducted research\, contributed to exhibitions\, and published on various aspects of African-American life in United States. More recently\, she has undertaken archeological research on slavery in Cuba\, and in 2015\, she published\, Slavery Behind The Wall: An Archaeology of a Cuban Coffee Plantation (University Press of Florida\, Gainesville). She is also working on another book publication focusing on comparing plantation life in the Caribbean and the United States.

SUMMARY:Prof and a Pint: Death on the Nile - A 3D Visit to Egypt's Most Enduring Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:The ancient Egyptian necropolis of Saqqara was the burial place of kings\, queens\, priests\, and elite officials for 2500 years (3000-332 BCE)\, and boasts some of the most spectacular architecture and art from the Pharoanic Period. In this talk\, we’ll make a virtual visit to the site\, using a 3D model that digitally ‘reconstructs’ the original appearance of the ancient monuments\, and explore how royal and elite Egyptians created a special landscape to guarantee their eternal life and power. \n \nElaine Sullivan (M.A. and Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University) is an Associate Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Sullivan is an Egyptologist and a Digital Humanist whose work focuses on applying new technologies to ancient cultural materials. Her archaeological work in Egypt includes five seasons of excavation with Johns Hopkins University at the temple of the goddess Mut (Luxor)\, as well as four seasons in the field with a joint UCLA-Rijksuniversiteit Groningen project in the Egyptian Fayum\, at the Greco-Roman town of Karanis. \nHer upcoming born-digital publication\, Constructing the Sacred (Stanford University Press)\, utilizes a geo-temporal 3D model of the necropolis of Saqqara (near modern Cairo) to investigate questions of ritual landscape at the site. In 2007-2008\, she served as project coordinator for the Digital Karnak Project\, creating a multi-phased 3D virtual reality model of the famous ancient Egyptian temple complex of Karnak. Sullivan has published extensively on the use of digital technologies for research and scholarship\, including recent articles in the Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory\, the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians\, and the Bulletin for the Institute of Classical Studies. \nIn October 2020\, Professor Sullivan will lead a 12 day small-group expedition to some of her favorite research sites in Egypt.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED Michael Allan - World Pictures/Global Visions
DESCRIPTION:Alongside discussions of worldliness\, globalization\, and planetarity\, the talk will focus on a global network of camera operators working on behalf of the Lumière Brothers film company from 1896-1903. This microhistory of the transnational origins of early cinema will lead to questions about what it means to apprehend the world through the eyes of a camera. \nMichael Allan is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Oregon\, where he is also program faculty in Cinema Studies\, Arabic\, and Middle East Studies.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Jason Martel - Stories to Not Begin By: A Spanish Teacher Candidate’s Identity  Deconstruction
DESCRIPTION:This colloquium will be rescheduled at a later date.  \nThe DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES AND APPLIED LINGUISTICS presents: \nJason Martel (Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey) – “Stories to Not Begin By: A Spanish Teacher Candidate’s Identity Deconstruction” \nWithin the robust research literature on teacher identity\, there is a growing interest in “stories to leave by”––that is\, reasons for which language teachers experience weakenings in their role identities and ultimately exit the profession (Schaefer\, Downey\, & Clandinin\, 2014). As it turns out\, the majority of these studies involve in- service language teachers\, meaning that we do not yet have a sufficient understanding as to why pre-service teachers may experience similar weakenings in their role identities and thus choose to not enter the profession. Using a positioning theory lens (Davies & Harré\, 1999; Kayi-Adar\, 2018)\, the present study examined the identity construction of a Spanish teacher candidate who began her program strongly identifying with Spanish teaching and left it not seeing herself entering the profession\, citing several uncomfortable experiences. The study’s findings bring into focus important considerations for designers of language teacher preparation programs\, such as incorporating language development courses\, helping candidates cultivate identities as innovative change makers\, and structuring curricula in ways that serve candidates’ needs in a timely fashion.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: PhD+ Workshop – Equity-Minded Humanities Teaching
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive PhD+ session\, we will explore what current research in teaching and learning can bring to the Humanities\, and what Humanities values\, contexts\, and ways of thinking can bring to our conceptions of teaching and learning. First\, we’ll define what equity means to us\, both within our specific disciplines and within Humanities teaching and learning more generally. Focusing in particular on structure (the “how” of our teaching)\, we will then explore several key “intervention” areas known in research on teaching and learning to promote more equitable learning: uncovering tacit knowledge\, addressing power and positionality in collaborative group work\, and surfacing the values that are communicated by our teaching and assessment methods. The goal will be to share\, discuss\, and develop equity-minded practices and structures specifically designed for educators and learners in the Humanities. \nKendra Dority has been an engaged member of the teaching and learning community at UC Santa Cruz since 2009\, serving as a Teaching Fellow and Teaching Assistant in the Literature Department and as a Lecturer at Porter College before joining the Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning (CITL) in 2017. With CITL\, she develops programs that build communities of practice\, support equity-minded teaching\, and promote active learning\, and she leads up the Center’s professional development opportunities for graduate students. Both within and outside of the university\, she champions public humanities and arts education. As a school museum guide at SFMOMA\, she encourages hands-on\, inquiry-focused learning for Bay Area students in grades 3–8. She received her Ph.D. in Literature from UCSC\, with research on literacy\, reading practices\, language politics\, and ethics in ancient Greek and contemporary U.S. Latinx literatures. \n  \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series\nPlease join us for the fourth year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by the Humanities Institute. 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. \nCanceled RSVP:\nLoading…

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Fly Higher: Charlie Parker @ 100 – Co-Musical Directors - Rudresh Mahanthappa & Terri Lyne Carrington
DESCRIPTION:March 12\, 2020 \nRecognizing the mandate from the Governor of California\, Kuumbwa Jazz is cancelling/postponing all concerts through at least March 30th. Ticketholders will be contacted directly\, on or by Monday\, March 16th\, regarding ticket refunds and other ticketing options. We will be working on rescheduling as many concert dates as possible and will provide updates as they become available. We appreciate your understanding and we will continue to follow the direction and guidance provided by official agencies\, as the wellbeing of our patrons and community remains our top priority. \nKuumbwa Jazz presents acclaimed co-musical directors Rudresh Mahanthappa (alto saxophone) and Terri Lyne Carrington (drums) celebrating one of the most innovative and influential artists in modern musical history and examine his impact in pop\, hip-hop\, rap\, rock\, and jazz. Joined by a superb lineup including Charenée Wade (vocals)\, Adam O’Farrill (trumpet)\, Kris Davis (piano)\, Larry Grenadier (bass) and Kassa Overall (DJ)\, Mahanthappa and Carrington will honor Charlie Parker’s centennial year by showcasing “Bird’s” uncompromising musical joy\, humor\, and beauty by mining his deep repertoire and showcasing new\, modern compositions. “In a time where the words ‘innovation’ and ‘genius’ are overused\, we are excited to celebrate a man who truly embodied both\,” says Mahanthappa\, “and the best way one shows admiration is not to age their work but to show their influence and how their work resonates in a modern age.” Rather than imitating the original\, Fly Higher strives to forward the artform by developing new perspectives on tradition. That is the true substance of contemporary expression and\, as Mahanthappa says\, “we firmly believe that Bird would have wanted his legacy to resonate in this fashion.” After all\, the only way to address the present is to place one foot in the past and one foot in the future. \n \n(5% City of Santa Cruz Admission Tax included\, service charge not included)\nSponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz \n“Bird Lives” painting by Vel Verrept based on a photograph by Herman Leonard\, © Herman Leonard Photography\, LLC
