SUMMARY:Renée Fox – The Necromantics: Reanimation\, the Historical Imagination\, and Victorian British and Irish Literature
DESCRIPTION:Victorian Necromancies with Professor Renée Fox \nAs part of the series “Victorian Necromancies\,” Professor Fox will lead three sessions that offer the Friends an opportunity to explore the Victorian gothic\, one of her favorite genres of 19th-century literature. \nFrom Professor Fox: “The first session will be a presentation on my forthcoming book\, The Necromantics: Reanimation\, the Historical Imagination\, and Victorian British and Irish Literature\, and the second two sessions will be discussions of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula (1897). Although I don’t write about Dracula very much in my book\, I chose it for these sessions for a few reasons: as an Irishman living in London for much of his adult life\, Stoker has always been important to my work on the intersections between Irish and British writing at the end of the 19th century\, and Dracula is a deeply weird novel that I think everyone should read and talk about. I’m also really interested in adaptation (I think about it as a form of reanimation)\, and Dracula offers a fantastic opportunity not just to talk about the text’s many adaptations across the last 125 years\, but also to talk about the novel’s own investments in questions of originality and reproduction.” \nRenée Fox is an assistant professor in the Literature Department at UC Santa Cruz\, where she teaches classes in Victorian Studies\, Irish Studies\, the gothic\, and popular culture. She is the 2022 Autumn Friends of the DickensProject Faculty Fellow. \nVirtual Sessions \n\n\n\nBook Talk: The Necromantics: Reanimation\, the Historical Imagination\, and Victorian British and Irish Literature\nOctober 2\, 20222:00 PM PDT\n\n\n\nDiscussion: Dracula (Beginning to Chapter 16)\nNovember 6\, 20222:00 PM PST\n\n\n\nDiscussion: Dracula (Chapter 17 to End)\nDecember 4\, 20222:00 PM PST\n\n\n\n\nMore Information: https://dickens.ucsc.edu/programs/friends-faculty-fellows/victorian-necromancies.html \nRegistration: https://ucsc.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUkf–hpz8rEtTZRTrhuGsHGRsIQJSVlahR

SUMMARY:Nidhi Mahajan – A Burning Sea: Arbitrage and a Fractured Moral Economy in the Persian Gulf
DESCRIPTION:Wooden sailing vessels or dhows have long traversed The Indian Ocean\, making it what some scholars have called “the cradle of globalization.” Today\, dhows or vahans from Kachchh in western India continue along old Indian Ocean routes as crucial intermediaries in global shipping. This talk traces how this mobile trade network is anchored or moored in specific places and economic concepts in some moments\, and unmoored in others. Focusing on arbitrage\, long a strategy used by Indian Ocean merchants\, I argue that value in the contemporary dhow trade is created through a fractured moral economy. Tracing the movement of one dhow across the Indian Ocean during the COVID-19 pandemic\, I argue that sanctions regimes\, and questions of jurisdiction at sea in the Persian Gulf have created a geopolitical climate in which value is produced at multiple scales through the intersection of these logics\, the body of the sailor becoming the site for capturing value and crafting sovereignty at sea. \nNidhi Mahajan’s research focuses on the intersection between political economy\, sovereignty\, and mobility in the Indian Ocean. She is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of California-Santa Cruz. She is also an artist and has developed multi-media exhibitions in Kenya\, India\, and the UAE. Her work has been funded by the Wenner-Gren\, SSRC\, ACLS/Mellon\, and a fellowship at The Africa Institute\, Sharjah. Publications include work in journals such as Comparative Studies of South Asia\, Africa\, and the Middle East; Island Studies Journal\, and edited volumes such as Reimaging Indian Ocean Worlds and World on the Horizon. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. We gather at 12:00 PM\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Brendan Regan – The Effect of Short-Term Study Abroad on the Production and Perception of Language- and Dialect-Specific Sounds by L2 and Heritage Spanish Speakers
DESCRIPTION:There is a growing interest in examining the effect of study abroad on language acquisition. However\, compared to other linguistic domains\, there is a lack of studies that examine phonetic acquisition in the study abroad (henceforth SA) context. Of the previous studies that have examined phonetic acquisition in the SA context\, the role of linguistic proficiency and bilingualism type (L2\, heritage) remains understudied. Building on previous studies\, this talk addresses these gaps by examining how phonetic production and perception change during a short-term SA program in Sevilla\, Spain based on bilingualism type (L2 or heritage Spanish speakers) and linguistic proficiency (advanced\, intermediate). The first study\, examines the production of language-specific [ð] and dialect-specific [∅] allophones of intervocalic /d/ by 40 speakers. The results found that those with higher proficiency (heritage and L2) with favorable attitudes towards the local variety demonstrated more gradient language-specific allophonic change overtime\, while only one L2-advanced speaker produced dialect-specific allophones. The second study\, with 57 listeners\, examines the perception of Andalusian (dialect-specific) post-consonant aspiration of word-internal /sp\, st\, sk/ (i.e.\, pasta [ˈpa.t h a]) using a binary forced-choice identification task (i.e.\, pata-pasta) in which stimuli varied on a 7-step VOT continuum. The results found that L2 and heritage Spanish listeners only showed a change in perception over time with /s.t/ realizations\, suggesting that [t h ] is more phonetically salient than [p h ] and [k h ]. There were no significant differences for proficiency level nor bilingualism type. Thus\, proficiency and bilingual type may be better predictors for phonetic production than perception in the SA context. \nThis event is presented by the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics. \nDr. Brendan Regan is assistant professor of Hispanic Linguistics at Texas Tech University and the Director of the Texas Tech Sociolinguistics and Bilingualism Research Lab. His research focuses on sociophonetic production and perception to better understand language variation\, change\, and acquisition as well as the social meaning of linguistic variation.

SUMMARY:Asli Bâli – From Revolution to Devolution? Dilemmas of Federalism & Decentralization in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:“From Revolution to Devolution? Dilemmas of Federalism and Decentralization in the Middle East” \nThis seminar engages in a qualitative comparison of four experiences with decentralization in the Middle East to explore the ways in which decentralized governance arrangements might address governance crises\, identity-based conflict and self-determination demands in the Middle East. Bâli argues that the failure to engage with these and other experiences in the MENA region in the growing literature on decentralization in comparative politics and law produces gaps in both the institutional design strategies available in the prescriptions derived from the literature\, and also in our accounts of the region that focus exclusively on the macro politics of authoritarianism without paying attention to experiments on the ground that have sought to formulate alternative governance strategies. \n \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Center for the Middle East and North Africa and the Legal Studies Program. \nAslı Bâli is Professor of Law at the Yale Law School. Previously\, she was on the faculty at the UCLA School of Law where she was Faculty Director of the Promise Institute for Human Rights\, a core faculty member of the Critical Race Studies Program and served as the Director of the UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies. Bâli’s research focuses on two broad areas: public international law—including human rights law and the law of the international security order—and comparative constitutional law\, with a focus on the Middle East. Her scholarship has appeared in leading international and comparative law reviews and peer reviewed journals such as the American Journal of International Law\,  International Journal of Constitutional Law and Law & Social Inquiry; her edited volume Constitution Writing\, Religion and Democracy was published by Cambridge University Press in 2017 and a second edited volume\, Identity Conflict\, Governance and Decentralization in the Middle East is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press in 2022. She received her J.D. from Yale\, her M.Phil. from Cambridge University and her Ph.D in Politics from Princeton University.

SUMMARY:Celeste Ng\, Our Missing Hearts
DESCRIPTION:Celeste Ng\, number one bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere\, will be on campus for an event celebrating her new book\, Our Missing Hearts—a deeply suspenseful and heartrending novel about the unbreakable love between a mother and child in a society consumed by fear. Ng will be in-conversation with local writer Ellen Bass. \nThis ticketed event will take place at the Cowell Ranch Hay Barn and is co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute\, Bookshop Santa Cruz\, and KAZU 90.3. Tickets include entry to the in-person event plus a hardcover copy of Our Missing Hearts. Guests can purchase tickets here. \nTHI will provide 15 free tickets (with a free copy of the book) to UC Santa Cruz students on a first come\, first served basis. At this time\, all of the student tickets have been claimed. \nOur Missing Hearts is an old story made new\, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can ignore the most searing injustice. It’s a story about the power–and limitations–of art to create change\, the lessons and legacies we pass on to our children\, and how any of us can survive a broken world with our hearts intact. \nCELESTE NG is the number one New York Times bestselling author of Everything I Never Told You and Little Fires Everywhere. Her third novel\, Our Missing Hearts\, will be published in October 2022. Ng is the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation\, and her work has been published in over thirty languages. \nELLEN BASS’s most recent collection\, Indigo\, was published by Copper Canyon Press in 2020. Her other poetry books include Like a Beggar\, The Human Line\, and Mules of Love. Her poems appear  frequently in The New Yorker\, American Poetry Review\, and many other journals. Among her awards are Fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation\, The NEA\, and The California Arts Council\, The Lambda Literary Award\, and three Pushcart Prizes.

SUMMARY:Intellectual Property Wars: The Battle for Access to Medicines
DESCRIPTION:The globalization of intellectual property in the 1980s has coincided with some of the deadliest pandemics\, epidemics and outbreaks\, from HIV\, hepatitis C\, SARS\, and recently COVID -19. Tahir Amin will take us through his and his organization’s journey over two decades fighting the ever growing intellectual property systems being pushed by the US\, EU and their pharmaceutical companies that are blocking affordable access to medicines for billions of low income populations around the world. After a brief presentation\, he will be joined by Anna Maria Barry-Jester for a conversation and Q&A. \n \nThis event is free and open to the public. Registration required. \nDoors open at 6pm\, program begins at 7pm. Kuumbwa Jazz Center’s kitchen will be open for refreshments before and during the program. \nTahir Amin\, LL.B.\, Dip. LP.\, is a founder and executive director of the Initiative for Medicines\, Access & Knowledge (I-MAK)\, a nonprofit organisation working to address structural inequities in how medicines are developed and distributed. He has over 25 years of experience in intellectual property (IP) law\, during which he has practised with two of the leading IP law firms in the United Kingdom and served as IP Counsel for multinational corporations. His work focuses on re-shaping IP laws and the related global political economy to better serve the public interest\, by changing the structural power dynamics that allow health and economic inequities to persist. \nAmin and I-MAK have also put out a 10 point plan for the Biden-Harris administration to bring equity into the patent system\, and their work is highlighted in the New York Times Editorial Board’s recent endorsement of patent reform. He is a former Harvard Medical School Fellow in the Department of Global Health & Social Medicine and TED Fellow. Amin has served as legal advisor/consultant to many international groups\, including the European Patent Office and World Health Organization\, and has testified before the U.S. Congress on intellectual property and unsustainable drug price. \nAnna Maria Barry-Jester is a public health reporter with ProPublica\, a nonprofit investigative news organization. Previously\, she was a senior correspondent covering public health at Kaiser Health News. Her series “Underfunded and Under Threat\,” with colleagues at KHN and The Associated Press\, investigated how chronically underfunded public health departments buckled under the strain of the coronavirus pandemic. The project won awards from the Online News Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Her reporting on harassment and menacing threats endured by public health officials was the basis of an episode of “This American Life\,” and PEN America later awarded its PEN/Benenson Courage Award to the officials she profiled. A multimedia journalist\, Barry-Jester has lived and worked in Latin America and Southeast Asia\, where she has reported\, photographed and filmed stories in more than a dozen countries. Before Kaiser Health News\, she was a writer at FiveThirtyEight and a producer at Univision and ABC News. She has a master’s degree in public health from Columbia University\, where she focused on epidemiology and global health. \nThis is the inaugural event of the “Race\, Empire\, and the Environments of Biomedicine” Sawyer Seminar series. \n

SUMMARY:Temple Grandin\, Visual Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes bestselling author Temple Grandin (Thinking In Pictures) for a discussion of her new book\, Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think In Pictures\, Patterns\, and Abstractions. This offsite\, ticketed event will take place at the Cowell Ranch Hay Barn and is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz and KAZU 90.3. \n \nA landmark book that reveals\, celebrates\, and advocates for the special minds and contributions of visual thinkers. \nA quarter of a century after her memoir\, Thinking in Pictures\, forever changed how the world understood autism\, Temple Grandin—the “anthropologist from Mars\,” as Oliver Sacks dubbed her—transforms our awareness of the different ways our brains are wired. Do you have a keen sense of direction\, a love of puzzles\, the ability to assemble IKEA furniture without crying? You are likely a visual thinker. \nWith her genius for demystifying science\, Grandin draws on cutting-edge research to take us inside visual thinking. Visual thinkers constitute a far greater proportion of the population than previously believed\, she reveals\, and a more varied one\, from the purest “object visualizers” like Grandin herself\, with their intuitive knack for design and problem solving\, to the abstract\, mathematically inclined “visual spatial” thinkers who excel in pattern recognition and systemic thinking. She also makes us understand how a world increasingly geared to the verbal tends to sideline visual thinkers\, screening them out at school and passing over them in the workplace. Rather than continuing to waste their singular gifts\, driving a collective loss in productivity and innovation\, Grandin proposes new approaches to educating\, parenting\, employing\, and collaborating with visual thinkers. In a highly competitive world\, this important book helps us see\, we need every mind on board. \nTemple Grandin is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University and the author of the New York Times bestsellers Animals in Translation\, Animals Make Us Human\, The Autistic Brain\, and Thinking in Pictures\, which became an HBO movie starring Claire Danes. Dr. Grandin has been a pioneer in improving the welfare of farm animals as well as an outspoken advocate for the autism community. She resides in Fort Collins\, Colorado.

SUMMARY:Our Mutual Friend Discussion Series: Parts VI-X
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Karen Hattaway (San Jacinto College) for a series of discussions about the book that stunned Conrad and Dostoevsky.  \nOur Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens \nSept. 25\, Oct. 23\, Nov. 27\, and Jan. 22 at 1:00-3:00 PM (PDT) | Virtual Events \nCharles Dickens published Our Mutual Friend in twenty monthly parts from May 1864 to November 1865. It was the fourteenth and final novel in his vast corpus of novels\, only to be followed by The Mystery of Edwin Drood (1870)\, which remained unfinished at the time of his death. \nMurder\, Money\, Marriage\, and Mounds… of dust\, of human refuse\, of cultural debris\, of industrial by-production. These are the grand themes and objects this novel’s world spawns\, with such horrible inevitability you will think its Thames river-mud could foster spontaneous generation. For the world of Our Mutual Friend is a dirtied and cynical place. Here\, even literacy and education–the “power of knowledge” that give heart and decency to Pip and Biddy in Great Expectations–may become\, in the wrong hands\, mechanical instruments for self-aggrandizement. And the good may need all the wiles of the bad to manufacture a happy ending. \nReading Schedule \n\n\n\nSep. 25\nBook the First: The Cup and the Lip – Chapters 1-17\, Parts I-V\n\n\n\nOct. 23\nBook the Second: Birds of a Feather – Chapters 1-16\, Parts VI-X\n\n\n\nNov. 27\nBook the Third: A Long Lane – Chapters 1-17\, Parts XI-XV\n\n\n\nJan. 22\nBook the Fourth: A Turning – Chapters 1-16\, Parts XVI-XX\n\n\n\n\nThis series of discussions is presented by the Santa Cruz Pickwick Club / Santa Cruz Dickens Fellowship with support from the Santa Cruz Public Libraries. \nMore information: https://dickens.ucsc.edu/resources/pickwick-club/index.html \nRegistration: https://ucsc.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIpf-mppjsuHd3RdY9mqMeH-FloGyFbM-MQ

SUMMARY:From Levi to Dante: Redefining Humanity from the Margins
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the final event of From the Margins: Dante 701 Years Later\, featuring Professor Robert Gordon (University of Cambridge) and Martin Eisner (Duke University). Moderated by Nathaniel Deutsch (UC Santa Cruz Professor and Director of the Center for Jewish Studies). \n \nFree and open to the public. Registration required. \n“Primo Levi and Dante. Cosmologies\,” by Robert Gordon (University of Cambridge): Primo Levi famously drew on Dante to map the distant and incomprehensible ‘concentrationary universe’ that he encountered at Auschwitz. Perhaps less well known is Levi’s deep fascination\, shared with Dante\, for astronomy and for the mapping of the cosmos as a tool for understanding man’s place in the wider universe\, and thus also mankind’s own history. This lecture explores Levi and Dante in parallel as two cosmologists\, both in their different ways scientists and poets of the stars. \n“Black Limbo: Dante\, Boccaccio\, and Global Ethnic Studies” by Martin Eisner (Duke University): This talk uses a fifteenth-century illumination of Dante’s limbo that portrays pagan poets with black skin to explore the relationship between medieval reflections on pagans and modern ethnic studies. Highlighting how Dante’s concern with cultural difference in both temporal and spatial terms informs Boccaccio’s elaboration of these ideas\, it shows how this accommodation of past and present pagans contrasts with earlier reflections of Augustine and Jerome\, contemporary ideas of Petrarch\, and later Fascist uses of Dante to which Primo Levi responds. \nRobert S. C. Gordon is Serena Professor of Italian at the University of Cambridge. He works on the literature\, cinema\, and cultural history of modern Italy. His books include a study of Pasolini\, several volumes on Primo Levi\, and a wider history of Italian cultural responses to the Holocaust. He has taught at Oxford and Cambridge Universities and is a former Senior Editor of the journal Italian Studies\, and a former trustee of the British School at Rome. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2015. \nMartin Eisner is Chair of Romance Studies and Professor of Italian at Duke University. He is the author of Dante’s New Life of the Book: A Philology of World Literature (Oxford UP\, 2021) and Boccaccio and the Invention of Italian Literature: Dante\, Petrarch\, Cavalcanti\, and the Authority of the Vernacular (Cambridge UP\, 2013). He is currently working on a biography of Boccaccio for Reaktion Books’s Renaissance Lives series. With a view to the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death\, he continues to develop the online research project Dante’s Library. His articles on Dante\, Boccaccio\, Petrarch\, and Machiavelli have appeared in PMLA\, Renaissance Quarterly\, Dante Studies\, Mediaevalia\, California Italian Studies\, Quaderni d’Italianistica\, Annali d’Italianistica and Le Tre Corone. His research has been supported by the Mellon Foundation\, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton\, the American Academy in Rome\, the American Philosophical Association\, and the Fulbright Foundation. \n Nathaniel Deutsch is a professor of history at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where he holds the Murray Baumgarten Endowed Chair in Jewish Studies and is the Faculty Director of The Humanities Institute and the Director of the Center for Jewish Studies. Among his other books are Inventing America’s “Worst” Family: Eugenics\, Islam\, and the Fall and Rise of the Tribe of Ishmael and The Jewish Dark Continent: Life and Death in the Russian Pale of Settlement\, for which he received a Guggenheim Fellowship. \nEvent logistics: Bicycling\, car pooling\, ridesharing\, and public transportation are encouraged as parking is limited.

SUMMARY:Bettina Aptheker - Communists in Closets
DESCRIPTION:The Humanities Institute and Bookshop Santa Cruz welcome Bettina Aptheker\, UC Santa Cruz Distinguished Professor Emerita\, for a discussion about her new book\, Communists in Closets: Queering the History 1930s-1990s\, which explores the history of gay\, lesbian\, and non-heterosexual people in the Communist Party in the United States. \n \nFree and open to the public. Registration required. \nThe Communist Party banned LGBT people from membership beginning in 1938 when it cast them off as degenerates. It persisted in this policy until 1991 when the Party split apart in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the socialist countries of Eastern Europe. During this 60- year ban\, gays and lesbians who did join the Communist Party were deeply closeted within it\, as well as in their public lives as both queer and Communist. By the late 1930s the Communist Party had a membership approaching 100\,000 and tens of thousands of more people moved in its orbit through the Popular Front against fascism\, anti-racist organizing\, especially in the south\, and its widely read cultural magazine\, The New Masses. Based on a decade of archival research\, correspondence\, and interviews\, Bettina Aptheker explores this history\, also pulling from her own experience as a closeted lesbian in the Communist Party in the 1960s and 70s. Ironically\, and in spite of this homophobia individual Communists laid some of the political and theoretical foundations for lesbian and gay liberation\, and contributed significantly to peace\, social justice\, civil rights\, Black and Latinx liberation movements. \nThis book will be of interest to students\, scholars\, and general readers in political history\, gender studies and the history of sexuality. \nBettina Aptheker is Distinguished Professor Emerita\, Feminist Studies Department\, University of California\, Santa Cruz\, USA. She is the author of: Intimate Politics: How I Grew Up Red\, Fought for Free Speech and Became A Feminist Rebel (2006); and The Morning Breaks: The Trial of Angela Davis (1976; second edition 1999). \nEvent logistics: Bicycling\, car pooling\, ridesharing\, and public transportation are encouraged as parking is limited. If you drive to the event\, please plan to park in UCSC Lot #115 or 116.

SUMMARY:Archive as Offering  – Grace L. Sanders Johnson
DESCRIPTION:This talk names the layered applications\, quotidian quality\, and refusals of physical\, psychological\, and archival violence against Haitian women during the US occupation (1915-1934). Told alongside the story of a teenage girl’s life and death\, the talk ultimately considers experimental historical practices as an opportunity to intervene in the presumed teleology of Black women’s lives through the practice of archival offering. \nGrace L. Sanders Johnson is a historian\, visual artist\, and assistant professor of Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Her areas of study include modern Caribbean history\, transnational feminisms\, oral history\, and environmental humanities. Sanders Johnson has worked with various archival projects including Concordia University’s Oral History Project Histoire de Vie Haiti Group (Montreal) and was a 2020-2021 Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture Scholars-in-Residence Fellow. Her most recent work can be found in several journals including Small Axe: A Caribbean Journal of Criticism (2022)\, American Anthropologist (2022)\, and Caribbean Review of Gender Studies (2018). She is also the author of the forthcoming book White Gloves\, Black Nation: Women\, Citizenship\, and Political Wayfaring in Haiti (University of North Carolina Press\, 2023). \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. We gather at 12:00 PM\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Rebecca Solnit\, Orwell's Roses
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz is delighted to welcome acclaimed writer Rebecca Solnit to the store for a discussion and signing of her most recent book\, Orwell’s Roses (in paperback October 18th). This event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. \n \nBookshop’s head book buyer\, Melinda\, says: “The gift of Rebecca Solnit is that while she writes about Orwell and his roses\, she also writes beyond them\, touching on tangential subjects with an effortless grace that is far-ranging and ever-connecting. Coming upon the surviving roses that George Orwell planted in 1936\, Solnit writes a captivating series of essays that explores Orwell’s life\, the horticulture and literature of roses\, and somehow both remarkably and classically Solnit\, how one finds balance in the beauty and struggle of 20th century humanity and today.” \nRebecca Solnit is the author of more than twenty books\, including the memoir Recollections of My Nonexistence and the nonfiction A Field Guide to Getting Lost\, The Faraway Nearby\, A Paradise Built in Hell\, River of Shadows\, and Wanderlust. She is also the author of Men Explain Things to Me and many essays on feminism\, activism and social change\, hope\, and the climate crisis. A product of the California public education system from kindergarten to graduate school\, she is a regular contributor to The Guardian and other publications.
