SUMMARY:Humanities in the Age of AI Lunch meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Humanities Institute Research cluster\, “Humanities in the Age of AI\,” is pleased to invite you to it’s inaugural lunch meeting scheduled for October 2 (Monday) at noon in HUM 210. The research cluster boasts a diverse group of core participants. This includes six esteemed faculty members from various disciplines\, graduate students representing politics\, history\, literature\, philosophy\, feminist studies\, and film and visual studies\, and undergraduate scholars from computer science\, computational media\, and creative writing. \nThe objective of our forthcoming meeting is dual: to foster social and intellectual connections. We aspire to cultivate a community centered on the humanities and artificial intelligence nexus. In alignment with this vision\, each participant must be prepared to introduce themselves to the collective formally. Also\, in each meeting\, we will highlight a participant to present a project they are currently engaged with. For our inaugural luncheon\, Ms. Lucia Vitale from the Department of Politics has consented to share insights from her recent study\, “Artificial Intelligence and the Politics of Avoidance in Global Health.” \nThe Humanities Institute (THI) will graciously cater lunch. Once we have obtained our meals\, we will gather and take our seats. 10 minutes has been set aside to elucidate the cluster’s overview. Following this\, we will go ahead with individual introductions. After a short five-minute recess\, Ms. Vitale will begin her presentation\, anticipated to last for approximately 20 minutes. A structured dialogue on the topic will follow. \nFor those who prefer to schedule in advance\, please note the dates for our brown bag meetings throughout the academic year: 10/2 (lunch provided)\, 11/6\, 12/11\, 1/8 (lunch provided)\, 2/12 (featuring Davide Panagia)\, 3/4\, 4/8 (lunch provided)\, and 5/6. THI will graciously cater on the three specified dates. For the remaining meetings\, attendees are cordially invited to bring their lunch.

SUMMARY:Nick Mitchell – The University in Surplus Perspective\, 1945-1968
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible to historicize higher education without taking its basic categories for granted? In this talk\, I aim to provide a historical and theoretical framework for the emergence of mass higher education in the twentieth century U.S. framed by the problem of surpluses—population\, labor\, and governance capacity. Faced with the prospect of mass unemployment in the wake of the second world war\, U.S. state-making found in the university a means of putting wartime budget surpluses to work in an effort to absorb demobilized population and labor surpluses. The category of the college student emerges in this period as a means of anticipating and managing the potential crises attendant to modern warfare. But as it develops\, it does not remain there. The university as a site for the absorption of surplus emerges as a site for the struggle over how and toward what ends surplus time—time free of and freed from the wage—might be used. \nNick Mitchell (she/her) works in the Department of Feminist Studies and the Department of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz. As a researcher\, Mitchell is principally engaged the status with higher education in the U.S. as a problem for historical and theoretical inquiry. As a writer\, Mitchell aims to make better sense of university life-worlds by developing scales\, vocabularies\, and categories to reframe and rethink its rhythms and textures. These research and writing efforts can be found in essays published in Feminist Studies\, Critical Ethnic Studies\, The New Inquiry\, and Spectre\, as well as in two forthcoming books: “Discipline and Surplus: Black Studies\, Women’s Studies\, and the Dawn of Neoliberalism” (under contract with Duke University Press) and “The University\, in Theory: Essays on Institutionalized Knowledge.” \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:Linguistics Colloquium: Ryan Bennett
DESCRIPTION:Ryan Bennett\, UC Santa Cruz: “Vowel deletion as grammatically-controlled gestural overlap in Uspanteko”\nUspanteko (Mayan) is spoken by ~5000 people in the central highlands of Guatemala. Unstressed\nvowels in Uspanteko often delete\, though deletion is variable within and across speakers. Deletion\nappears to be phonological\, being sensitive to phonotactics\, foot structure\, vowel quality\, and\nmorphology; and being largely insensitive to speech rate and style. But deletion also appears to be\nphonetic in character\, reflecting extreme vowel reduction rather than symbolic deletion: it is variable\,\ngradient\, insensitive to certain phonotactics\, and opaque with respect to accent placement.\nElectroglottography data suggests that even apparently ‘deleted’ vowels may contribute voicing to\n[C(V)C] intervals\, albeit inaudibly. We thus analyze deletion as grammatically-controlled gestural\noverlap\, which masks vowels in [CVC] contexts\, either in the phonology proper (e.g. Gafos 2002) or\nas part of a grammar of phonetic interpretation (e.g. Kingston & Diehl 1994). \nOver the course of each year\, the Linguistics department hosts colloquia by distinguished faculty from around the world. \nFor full speaker and event information\, please visit: https://linguistics.ucsc.edu/news-events/colloquia/index.html

SUMMARY:micha cárdenas - Atoms Never Touch
DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating the debut of Atoms Never Touch by micha cárdenas; forward by adrienne maree brown. \nJumping to alternate realities sounds great\, if you’re in control. But what if you’re not? What if you’re propelled away from the people and places you love the most in the blink of an eye? And what if these involuntary journeys happen because your neurochemistry is different\, and your brain works differently? \nBeautiful\, compassionate\, and resourceful as she is\, this is Rea’s problem. A latina trans woman and an academic\, she is beloved by a tight circle of friends\, who fully accept her without knowing the cause of her disappearances. But she is haunted by the lovers and family that she cannot trace back to\, and fears she might be separated from them forever. \nEach time she transits into a new time and space\, everything shifts—even the films and writing Rea produces readjust their molecules to match her new quantum reality. But Rea\, a brilliant lay scientist\, is determined to crack the code\, and end her quest for lasting connections and home. \nNow available for preorder. Order now from AK Press or one of the participating bookstores\, and you’ll get a free set of 3 Atoms Never Touch stickers!\nPreorder Atoms Never Touch here: https://www.akpress.org/atoms-never-touch.html\nFierce\, poignant sci-fi\, about hacking\, love\, and resistance. \nPraise for Atoms Never Touch: \n“A shockingly powerful\, wrenchingly beautiful queer cyberpunk fable from debut novelist and veteran artist micha cárdenas. In this slim yet unforgettably striking story\, cárdenas shows us the world we live in through a dark mirror\, transforming the language of cybernetics\, quantum physics\, and neurobiology into haunting metaphors for heartbreak\, social struggle\, and revolution…Cárdenas fearlessly plumbs the depths of her characters’ terror and trauma as they resist the depredations of fascism and digital surveillance\, but also infuses her novel with hope\, healing\, and possibility.” —Kai Cheng Thom\, author of Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars: A Dangerous Trans Girl’s Confabulous Memoir \n“I see this book as in the lineage of Octavia Butler’s Kindred\, an explicitly quantum exploration of the possibility of ancestral love. I love the characters and the queer questions they raise with their living. And I love the message\, which is that love is the code\, love is the pass\, love is the key\, love is all\, love is all\, love is all.” —Alexis Pauline Gumbs\, author of Undrowned \n“What more could we ask for? T4T love and sex\, anti-government sabotage\, travel through the multiverse! Atoms Never Touchis nourishment for radicals surviving the current apocalypse.” —Dean Spade\, author of Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During this Crisis (and the Next) \nmicha cárdenas is a multidisciplinary artist\, poet\, and filmmaker. She is Associate Professor of Performance\, Play and Design\, and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. \nadrienne maree brown is a writer rooted in Detroit who now lives in Durham\, NC. She is a student of the works of Octavia E. Butler and Ursula K. Le Guin. Her books include Octavia’s Brood\, Emergent Strategy\, Grievers\, and Maroons.

SUMMARY:Martina Broner – From Arboreal to Aerial: Seeing the Amazon from Above
DESCRIPTION:Can seeing the Amazon from above bring about new perspectives on the forest at a critical time? This talk proposes that the documentary Helena Sarayaku manta (dir. Eriberto Gualinga\, 2021) rethinks the aerial view by pushing against its historical associations with omniscience and a desire for mastery and by reframing it instead around the vitality of the forest in a site that resists exploitation: the Indigenous territory of Sarayaku in the Ecuadorian Amazon. As I examine the role of trees in the film’s production\, I argue that Helena Sarayaku manta achieves this new aerial grammar through an attunement to the arboreal. \nMartina Broner’s research sits at the intersection of Latin American cinema and media studies and the environmental humanities. Her book manuscript\, “Forest Formats: Media and Environment in the Amazon\,” examines new media formats that emerge from entanglements between human and other living entities in the transnational Amazon rainforest. She is assistant professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Dartmouth. \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:The Micro as Macro: Narrating World Histories of Science\, Technology\, and Environment
DESCRIPTION:The Center for World History presents the fourth Graduate Student Conference: “The Micro as Macro: Narrating World Histories of Science\, Technology\, and Environment” in Humanities 1\, Room 210 (and online)\, 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. \nWhile world history topics have expanded recently to include diverse areas\, the Euro-American experience continues to dominate scholarship and is often treated as the assumed global model. The UCSC Center for World History’s fourth graduate student conference explores non-European places and actors by centering on techno-scientific\, environmental\, sensorial\, and spatial-based themes that reveal how the relationship between “small” subjects like microorganisms have shaped world history in ways that challenge or reimagine conceptions of progress and development. With this in mind\, this conference will focus on histories spanning from 1700 to the present that tell global stories through small subjects such as viruses\, cotton seeds\, and metal alloys. By inviting a wide range of chronological and geographic loci\, we hope to expand our definition of world history to one that does not default toward Euro-American experiences. \nThe program is available here. \nRegister for online participation here. \nDr. David Fedman\, Associate Professor of History at UC Irvine and author of Seeds of Control: Japan’s Empire of Forestry in Colonial Korea\, will deliver the keynote address. \nThis is a hybrid conference. To attend virtually\, please register here. If you can join in person\, we would love to see you in Humanities 1\, room 210. \nConference Organizing Committee: Clara Bergamini\, Piper Milton\, Alexyss McClellan-Ufugusuku\, Jinghong Zhang \nFree and open to the campus community and the public.

Join Dickens enthusiasts and Pickwick Club members for a series of discussions about this book. \n \nCharles Dickens depicts how a gentleman is made\, not born\, in this novel. Presented as Pip’s confessional autobiography\, Great Expectations describes his childhood at the forge\, his infatuation with the beautiful Estella\, his shame at his working-class origin and his eagerness to be a gentleman\, and eventually his life as a young man-about-town with “great expectations” of inheriting a fortune. Recalling these events as an adult\, Mr. Pirrip is frank about his mistakes and shortcomings. \nRecommended Edition: We recommend the Penguin Classics edition of the novel for its appendices and notes\, but other versions are fine. First-time readers should avoid the Introduction if they don’t want spoilers. Download the novel to read at Gutenburg.org or to listen at LibriVox.org. \nIf you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out at dpj@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Rosanna Xia: California Against the Sea
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes environmental journalist Rosanna Xia\, a Pulitzer Prize finalist\, for a conversation with UCSC professor Gary Griggs about her new book California Against the Sea: Visions for Our Vanishing Coastline. This event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. \n“Just as the coast defines the liminal world between land and sea\, so too does Rosanna Xia’s remarkable book exist in the overlap between development and erosion\, between geological forces and human desire\, between our ambitious past and our tenuous future. It’s viscerally urgent\, thoroughly reported\, and compellingly written—a must-read for our uncertain times.” —Ed Yong\, author of An Immense World \n \nYour registration helps us plan for your arrival and keep in touch with any changes.\nThank you for registering! \nRosanna Xia investigates the impacts of engineered landscapes\, the market pressures of development\, and the ecological activism and political scrimmages that have carved our contemporary coastline—and foretell even greater changes to our shores. From the beaches of the Mexican border up to the sheer-cliffed North Coast\, the voices of Indigenous leaders\, community activists\, small-town mayors\, urban engineers\, and tenacious environmental scientists commingle. Together\, they chronicle the challenges and urgency of forging a climate-wise future. Xia’s investigation takes us to Imperial Beach\, Los Angeles\, Pacifica\, Marin City\, San Francisco\, and beyond\, weighing the rivaling arguments\, agreements\, compromises\, and visions governing the State of California’s commitment to a coast for all. Through graceful reportage\, she charts how the decisions we make today will determine where we go tomorrow: headlong into natural disaster\, or toward an equitable refashioning of coastal stewardship. \nRosanna Xia is an environmental reporter for the Los Angeles Times\, where she specializes in stories about the coast and ocean. She was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2020 for explanatory reporting\, and her work has been anthologized in the Best American Science and Nature Writing series. \nGary Griggs is a Distinguished Professor of Earth & Planetary Sciences at UC Santa Cruz. He is the author of 13 books\, including most recently\, The Ominous Ocean (2022). The California Coastal Commission and Sunset named him one of California’s Coastal Heroes in 2009\, and in 2010 he was elected to the California Academy of Sciences. Gary is also a member of the California Ocean Protection Council’s Science Advisory Team and 2023 Sea-Level Rise Task Force.

SUMMARY:Project Paradiso: A Gateway to Dante’s Heaven - Episode One – Introduction – A Restless Paradise
DESCRIPTION:Dante’s Paradiso is the least studied and the least understood of the three parts of the Commedia. Yet it is arguably the most important for the dynamism and originality of the literary\, theological\, and philosophical inquiries that take place there. It is also a singularly important interpretive guide for a full understanding of the entire Commedia. It is a poem that asks to be tackled by a community of engaged readers: here it’s your opportunity! This year-long series of webinar workshops led by world-renowned scholars will take you on a deep reading of the Paradiso and an unforgettable journey to the heart of Dante’s universe. This virtual series will reward both first-time and expert readers of the Commedia with an opportunity to delve deep into one of the most complex and daring speculative poems ever written. We’ll be meeting online almost every other week from October to May. See the Project Paradiso page for full schedule. \n \nEpisode One – Introduction – A Restless Paradise\, featuring: \nFilippo Gianferrari is originally from Modena\, Italy. He has received a BA and MA in Letteratura italiana from the Università degli Studi di Bologna\, and a Ph.D. in Medieval Studies from the University of Notre Dame. After completing his Ph.D.\, he taught at Vassar College and Smith College. He has been part of the Literature Department at UCSC since 2019. He works on Dante\, Petrarch\, and Boccaccio\, lay education\, and political theology in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. He is interested in the ways literature and education (particularly literacy) intersect with and inform each other. He has published mostly on the topic of Dante’s intellectual formation and he has completed a monograph titled “Dante’s Education: Latin Schoolbooks and Vernacular Poetics.” The book investigates Dante’s debts to his earliest school readings and his critical stance toward contemporary education. His attention is now devoted to the study of vernacular theories and visions of political charity and eschatology. \nRon Herzman is Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York\, Geneseo. In addition to Geneseo\, where he continues to teach Dante\, he has taught Dante at Georgetown University\, St. John’s College in Santa Fe\, New York University\, Regis High School\, and Attica Correctional Facility. He has directed eighteen Summer Seminars for Schoolteachers through the National Endowment for the Humanities\, twelve of which were on Dante in Italy. With his colleague Bill Cook\, he teaches the Divine Comedy through a twenty- four-lecture course available through the Great Courses series produced by The Teaching Company. Together with Cook\, he was the recipient of the first CARA Award for Excellence in Teaching Medieval Studies from the Medieval Academy of America. He has written over fifty articles and reviews on Dante\, with emphasis on Dante and the Franciscans\, and on Dante and the visual arts. The Medieval World View (Oxford University Press\, with Bill Cook)\, now in its third edition\, has been in print since 1984. With Richard Emmerson\, he is the author of The Apocalyptic Tradition in Medieval Literature (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 1994). \nPresented by the Humanities Institute and the Department of Literature Italian Studies. Sponsored by the University of California Humanities Research Institute\, Siegfried and Elizabeth Mignon Puknat Literary Studies Endowment\, and Porter College
