SUMMARY:Postponed - We Are Not Aliens: Arthur Jafa\, Martine Syms\, and Afro-Futurism 2.0 Exhibition at the Sesnon Gallery
DESCRIPTION:We Are Not Aliens: Arthur Jafa\, Martine Syms\, and Afro-Futurism 2.0 assembles select artistic projects that investigate emancipatory futures of justice opposed to historical and contemporary racism\, socioeconomic inequality\, and state violence. It centers around Arthur Jafa’s startling and moving video “Love is the Message\, the Message is Death\,” which offers a short account of anti-black police brutality as well as speculative visions of African-American emancipation\, collective resistance\, and poetic love. The piece includes a short passage of artist Martine Syms delivering her “Mundane Afrofuturist Manifesto” in which she states “We are not aliens”—critically distancing herself from earlier formulations of Afro-futurism and making a powerful case for its contemporary reinvention. The show will reproduce her text as an artistic wall painting and also include an hour-long KCET video that explores the inspirational ideas behind the Manifesto\, which lays out visions of African-American creativity dedicated to the radical imagination of a coming world of liberation. \nThe exhibition forms 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 UCSC’s Humanities Institute. For more information visit BEYOND.UCSC.EDU

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Linguistics Colloquia: Kathryn Davidson
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Davidson (Harvard) – Title TBD \nKathryn Davidson is an assistant professor in Linguistics at Harvard University where her research investigates the unique capacity that we have to understand an infinite number of sentences that we’ve never encountered before (semantics)\, how we incorporate contextual information into these meanings (pragmatics)\, and how we ever learn to do this (development). In her lab they make balanced use of theory for hypothesis creation with psycholinguistic experimental methods for gathering and analyzing behavioral data based on a wide variety of spoken and signed languages. Davidson’s academic background is in math and theoretical linguistics\, and her sign language background began while learning ASL as a student at UCSD and postdoc at UConn. \nAbout eight times each year\, the Linguistics department hosts colloquia by distinguished faculty from around the world. \nFor full information visit: https://linguistics.ucsc.edu/news-events/colloquia/index.html

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Jacque Wernimont "Quantified Education: Unpacking What We're Tracking"
DESCRIPTION:The same hopes that have landed FitBits on millions of wrists\, Rings on thousands of doors\, and Echoes in so many homes have brought us the latest in educational technologies. These hopes include better support of ourselves\, our goals\, and our dreams for success\, health\, and safety. As universities and colleges increasingly buy into smart systems for grading\, tracking attendance\, monitoring student and employee wellness\, and more\, we also need to reckon with the costs – human\, fiscal\, and environmental – of these innovations in education. We‘ve got the Quantified Self\, the Quantified Home\, even the Smart/Quantified City — what does it mean that we now have Quantified Education? \n  \nJacqueline Wernimont is an antiracist\, feminist scholar working toward greater justice in digital cultures. She writes about long histories of media and technology—particularly those that count and commemorate—and entanglements with archives and historiographic ways of knowing.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Nick Estes and Melanie Yazzie: Beyond the End of the World Sawyer Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:The Humanities Institute and the Center for Creative Ecologies present Beyond the End of the World Lecture Series \nNick Estes is a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. He is an Assistant Professor in the American Studies Department at the University of New Mexico. In 2014\, he co-founded The Red Nation\, an Indigenous resistance organization. For 2017-2018\, Estes was the American Democracy Fellow at the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History at Harvard University. His research engages colonialism and global Indigenous histories\, with a focus on decolonization\, oral history\, U.S. imperialism\, environmental justice\, anti-capitalism\, and the Oceti Sakowin. Estes is the author of the book Our History Is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline\, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance (Verso\, 2019)\, which places into historical context the Indigenous-led movement to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline. He edited with Jaskiran Dhillon the volume Standing with Standing Rock: Voices from the #NoDAPL Movement (University of Minnesota\, 2019)\, which draws together more than thirty contributors\, including leaders\, scholars\, and activists of the Standing Rock movement. \nMelanie K. Yazzie (Bilagáana/Diné) holds a Ph.D. in American Studies from the University of New Mexico\, and is is Assistant Professor in the Department of Native American Studies and the Department of American Studies\, University of New Mexico. She specializes in violence\, biopolitics\, water\, Navajo/American Indian history; (neo)liberalism; settler colonialism; Indigenous feminisms; Native American studies; social movements; urban Native experience; political ecology; queer Indigenous studies; Marxist theories of history\, knowledge\, and power; and theories of policing and the state. Her first book\, Life in The Age of Extraction: Diné History in A Biopolitical Register\, shows how biopolitical calculations of Navajo life that accompanied the introduction of extractive economies in the 1930s have become a full-scale biopolitical epoch defined by violent relations of extraction. With Nick Estes\, she guest-edited a special issue of Wicazo Sa Review (June 2016) on the legacy of Dakota scholar Elizabeth Cook-Lynn\, one of the founders of Native American studies\, and co-edited a special issue of Decolonization: Indigeneity\, Education and Society with Cutcha Risling-Baldy on Indigenous water politics (2018). \nBeyond the End of the World 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.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL - PhD+ Workshop: Social Media and Scholarly Practice
DESCRIPTION:The field of higher ed is struggling to define its relationship to social media. We have all read high profile stories of offers and tenure denied because of online posts. At the same time\, there is clear motivation for scholars to engage with public audiences and grow their reputations through social media. What are the risks\, rewards\, and ways to begin being an extremely (or selectively) online academic? \nJoin Rachel Deblinger to discuss the many uses of social media across the academy\, ranging from institutional accounts to the benefits of self-promotion to the possible consequences of political speech. As the public health crisis has moved most of our communications online\, this session will also give participants an opportunity to reflect on our complex relationships with social media as both a source of anxiety and space to alleviate feelings of isolation. \n  \nRachel Deblinger is the Director of the Modern Endangered Archives Program at the UCLA Library. This new granting program funds the digitization and preservation of at-risk cultural heritage materials from around the world and makes all material openly accessible online. Deblinger was previously the Research Program Manager at The Humanities Institute and is the Founding Director of the UC Santa Cruz Digital Scholarship Commons. \nDeblinger completed her doctorate in History at UCLA in 2014 and is currently writing a book manuscript titled\, “Saving Our Survivors: How American Jews learned about the Holocaust.” Her research focuses on early postwar Holocaust narratives\, media technology\, and the efforts of Jewish communal organizations to aid survivors in Europe. \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. \nPlease RSVP for the Zoom link: \nLoading…
