SUMMARY:Project Paradiso: A Gateway to Dante’s Heaven - Episode Twelve – Flower of Humanity: The Vergin Mary in Paradiso
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. \nFlower of Humanity: The Vergin Mary in Paradiso (Par. 23 and 31-33) \nIn lines of sublime beauty that fuse the fin’amor image of the rose with the ancient Marian type of the flos Iesse (Isa. 11:1)\, Dante tells us that Paradise itself\, the candida rosa (Par. 31.1)\, is generated from the warmth of Mary’s womb: ‘Nel ventre tuo si raccese l’amore\, / per lo cui caldo ne l’etterna pace così è germinato questo fiore’ (Par. 33.7-9). She is the termine fisso (3)\, the fixed point\, upon which God’s plan of salvation turns. Without her fiat (Luke 1:28)\, Paradise would be a sterile bloom\, deprived of the Love that breathes life into all things. Just so\, it is her words that set Dante’s own journey in motion (Inf. 2.94-114) and it is she who mediates his final vision. Without her\, one could argue\, there would be no Commedia. \nIt is essential to recognize this centrality of the Virgin if one is to come to a proper understanding of her role in the Paradiso. Taking as its starting point the Prayer to the Virgin (Par. 33.1-39)\, this chapter will explore the multiple ways in which Mary is present in the third cantica (and more broadly of the poem as a whole)\, whether as a source of hope and grace\, mediatrix\, supreme example of humanity fulfilled\, icon of the Church\, or prophetic sign of the New Creation (Rev. 21.1). Ultimately\, reading the poem in a Marian key\, we may conclude that it is she\, synthesis and apex of creation in all its beauty\, who leads Dante (and possibly the reader too) into the heart of the Trinity where\, become fully Christ\, we too may glimpse something of the presence of God beneath all things. \n \nBrian K. Reynolds teaches in the Italian Department and the Graduate Institute of Comparative Literature of Fu Jen Catholic University\, Taipei\, specializing in Medieval Italian Literature and in Mariology. He received his primary degree from University College Dublin in Italian and history and went on to carry out his postgraduate studies at UCD and Trinity College Dublin. He also taught in both of these institutions and in the Università degli Studi\, Bari prior to moving to Taiwan. Reynolds has written and spoken widely on Dante Alighieri and on Italian courtly and religious literature of the Middle Ages. At present he is mid-way through a project to produce a hypertext of the Divine Comedy. \nReynolds is also a recognized expert on Patristic and Medieval Mariology having published a major study\, Gateway to Heaven\, on Marian doctrine and devotion as well as numerous articles and book chapters. He is currently completing the second volume of his Gateway to Heaven series\, on Marian typological imagery. Reynolds is on the board of several journals including Claritas: Journal of Dialogue and Culture and Maria: A Journal of Marian Studies. He is the founder and convenor of the Dante in East Asia Network and is a member\, specializing in Mariology\, of the International Interdisciplinary Abba School\, based in the Sophia University Institute. \nPresented by the Humanities Institute and the Department of Literature Italian Studies.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Linguistics Colloquia: Karlos Arregi
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Linguistics is pleased to present: \nKarlos Arregi\nUniversity of Chicago \nspeaking on\nThe relation between head movement and periphrasis \n\nAbstract \nIn joint work with Asia Pietraszko\, I’ve been investigating the relation between head movement and the synthesis-periphrasis distinction in the verbal domain. We use the term “synthesis” to refer to verbal expressions in which the lexical verb bears all the verbal inflection in a clause (e.g. “rode” in English). In contrast\, a periphrastic verbal expression additionally contains an auxiliary verb (specifically\, “be” or “have”)\, and verbal inflection is distributed between the lexical verb and the auxiliary (e.g. “had ridden”). \nWe argue for two crosslinguistic generalizations: T-V Optionality and *V-Aux. According to T-V Optionality\, languages vary as to whether T is in a head-movement relation with a verb. *V-Aux states that in periphrasis\, the lexical verb and the auxiliary cannot be related by head movement. Existing analyses of periphrasis can account for one or the other generalization\, but not for both. \nWe further argue that this tension between the two generalizations is resolved if we adopt the hypothesis that both head movement and periphrasis are tied to selection. More specifically\, we propose that head movement is parasitic on a selectional relation (following Svenonius 1994\, Julien 2002\, Matushansky 2006\, and Preminger 2019) and that auxiliaries are merged as specifiers selected by functional heads such as T (Pietraszko 2017). \n  \nJoin us for this in-person talk on Friday\, April 5th at 1:20 pm. We look forward to seeing you there! \nFor accessibility issues\, please contact Sarah Amador (samador@ucsc.edu)

SUMMARY:The Deppe Memorial Lecture with Professor Emily Gowers
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Classical Studies Program presents The Carl Mark Deppe Memorial Lecture\, taking place this Friday\, April 5 at the Cowell Provost house at 4:00pm (reception to follow). \nThis year\, Professor Emily Gowers (University of Cambridge) will be giving a talk titled “Sallust’s Salient Snails.” \nThe lecture will focus on a brief episode in Sallust’s Jugurtha\, where a soldier’s encounter with some tiny snails and a tree in the African desert changes the course of history. Gowers will read it for its unusually detailed style of narrative\, and ask what it tells us about the role of small things in historiography\, as well as about Sallust’s conception of time and space and his own contribution as a historian. \nAll are welcome to attend this event. We hope to see you there! \n

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 their lunch meeting scheduled for Monday\, April 8th at 12pm in HUM 210. This month’s meeting will feature guest speakers Theresa Hice-Fromille (Ohio State University) and Sarah Papazoglakis (Lit PhD\, ’18) on Afrofuturism for Tech: Creative Approaches to Design and Policy. \nThe Speculative Fictions and Futures Project was initiated in 2022 by Sarah Papazoglakis and Theresa Hice-Fromille. With an initial archive of 39 speculative fiction texts\, the first stage of the project identified 10 common themes for an inclusive metaverse. The Afro-\, Latinx-\, Indigenous-\, and Asian-futurist texts analyzed explore many marginalized perspectives on the hopes\, fears\, and challenges brought forth by emerging technologies. The project’s 25 recommendations provide builders (digital artists\, computer scientists\, linguists\, policy experts\, etc.) with concrete suggestions and real-life examples to implement in metaverse construction. The focus of this presentation is on the ways the project data can be used to creatively consider a pressing issue: the ethical codes that will shape the construction and use of emerging technologies. Incorporating lessons from diverse speculative texts encourages cultural inclusivity in ways that solely focusing on existing legal frameworks cannot. \n\nSPEAKER BIOS \nTheresa Hice-Fromille (she/her) is an Assistant Professor of Geography at The Ohio State University with a PhD in Sociology and designated emphases in CRES and Feminist Studies from UC Santa Cruz. In 2022 she completed a summer THI public humanities fellowship with Meta’s Reality Labs where she co-developed a diverse speculative fictions archive that critically taxonomizes the technologies and futures portrayed in Afro-\, Indigenous-\, Asian-\, and Latinx-futurist cultural productions. Throughout 2022 and 2023 she led presentations and equity workshops for developers that draw on insights garnered from this archive to inspire equitable and conscientious technological innovation. She is currently extending this work to include youth participatory action research (YPAR) and workshops for young people in the so-called “Silicon Heartland.” \nSarah Papazoglakis holds a PhD in Literature from University of California\, Santa Cruz and is currently a Trust Strategist at Meta’s Reality Labs. In this role\, she builds privacy and responsible innovation frameworks for emerging VR technologies and bridges the gap between AI research and consumer product use. Sarah draws from her humanities PhD to help product and engineering leaders imagine and define positive social impacts of future technologies and scope the requirements needed to build privacy- and trust-by-design into foundational product architectures. \n\nThe 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. To learn more about current cluster projects and further information about upcoming speakers visit: https://thi.ucsc.edu/clusters/humanities-in-the-age-of-artificial-intelligence/ \nThe Humanities Institute (THI) will graciously cater lunch for this meeting. Once we have obtained our meals\, we will gather and take our seats. The first 10 minutes have been set aside to elucidate the cluster’s overview. Following this\, we will go ahead with individual introductions. After a short five-minute recess\, speakers will commence their presentations\, 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\, 3/4\, 4/8 (lunch provided)\, and 5/6. \nTHI will graciously cater on the three specified dates. For the remaining meetings\, attendees are cordially invited to bring their lunch.

SUMMARY:What Can Genomics Teach Us About Jewish History with Dr. Shamam Waldman
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Helen Diller Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies will be given by Dr. Shamam Waldman. \nJoin us on April 9th at Cowell Ranch Hay Barn for Dr. Waldman’s lecture titled:\n“What Can Genomics Teach Us About Jewish History?” \n \nDoors will open at 5:30PM. The talk will begin promptly at 6:00PM. \n\nThe study of population genetics\, and specifically ancient DNA\, can now offer new insights into Jewish history. One profound example is in our understanding of the origins and early history of Ashkenazi Jews. Scholars in a variety of disciplines have\, for years\, debated the topic\, proposing different theories. Recent genetic analysis and research is helping to shed light on this long-standing puzzle. Another example of how population genetics can offer new insights concerns the genetic connections between the Bronze – Age Levant and present-day Jewish and Middle Eastern populations. \nIn this talk Dr. Shamam Waldman will share her perspective on these questions and the implications of new research based on ancient DNA. Dr. Waldman will present findings from two recent articles in Cell that she co- led: one analyzing DNA from 14th century Jews in Erfurt Germany which showed that the medieval Ashkenazi Jewish population was much more heterogeneous than the one today\, and the other on the genomic history of the people of the Bronze-Age Southern Levant which showed migrations from the Caucasus and Iran into this region between about 2500-1000 CE. \nPresented by the Center for Jewish Studies. Co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute and the Genomics Institute at UC Santa Cruz. This event is made possible by generous support from the Helen Diller Family Endowment and the Center for Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \n\nShamam Waldman completed her PhD at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in the field of population genetics\, and she is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Reich Lab at Harvard University. Dr. Waldman developed computational and statistical methods to analyze ancient DNA. She used these methods to study the genetic connections between Canaanites and present-day Middle Eastern populations\, as well as the genetic origins of Ashkenazi Jews. As a postdoctoral researcher she continues to study ancient DNA of Jews in Europe during the Middle Ages as well as hunter-gatherers from the Mesolithic period.

SUMMARY:Juned Shaikh - The Afterlife of Confiscation: Engels’ The Origin of the Family in 1930s and 40s India
DESCRIPTION:Gangadhar Adhikari returned to India from Germany in the 1920s with a tranche of books. He had recently completed his PhD in Chemistry in Berlin and had joined the Communist Party of Germany. Upon his return to India in 1928\, he joined the Communist Party of India and was jailed in 1929 on charges of a conspiracy to commit treason against the colonial government. His books were impounded and many of them were returned to him upon his release in 1933. The same books were confiscated again in 1935. On the list of books was Friedrich Engels’s The Origin of the Family\, Private Property and the State. This book was returned to him again in 1936 with the assessment that it was a history book\, not of instrumental use in political action. The book captured the imagination of some party intellectuals who believed that revolutionizing the family was crucial to a political and social revolution in India. Adhikari’s colleague in the party\, Shripad Dange was inspired by it to chart the history of the Indian family. Engels’ categories were imported to make sense of the history of the family in India.

SUMMARY:Native Speaker Series with Patty Krawec
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join the American Indian Resource Center‘s Native Speaker Series with Patty Krawec (Anishinaabe/Ukrainian)\, on April 11th\, 2024\, to be held at the Namaste Lounge located at College 9 and JRL at 5:00 PM-7:00 PM. \nGuest author\, Patty Krawec will share with us her most recent book titled: Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future. Her discussion will focus on building intentional movement and embodying radical rest\, shedding self-care as a survival strategy\, and thinking more collectively about community care. For those new to Patty Krawec\, and to those that joined the AIRC Book Circle in the winter\, then come join us in conversation. This event is open to all UCSC affiliates and guests! \n \n\nBook Description \n“Weaving her own story with the story of her ancestors and with the broader themes of creation\, replacement\, and disappearance\, Krawec helps readers see settler colonialism through the eyes of an Indigenous writer. Settler colonialism tried to force us into one particular way of living\, but the old ways of kinship can help us imagine a different future. Krawec asks\, What would it look like to remember that we are all related? How might we become better relatives to the land\, to one another\, and to Indigenous movements for solidarity? Braiding together historical\, scientific\, and cultural analysis\, Indigenous ways of knowing\, and the vivid threads of communal memory\, Krawec crafts a stunning\, forceful call to “unforget” our history.” \n  \nThis event is hosted in collaboration with UCSC’s: The Center for Reimsgining Leadership (CRL)\, OpenLab and the Vera Rubin Presidential Chair\, Center for Coastal Climate Resilience (CCCR)\, Anthropology\, Community Studoies and History Departments\, College Nine and John R. Lewis College Co Curricular Programs Office (CoCo)\, The Humanities Institute (THI)\, Student Diversity and Inclusion program (ODEI/SDIP)\, Sustainability Office (SEJA/SO)\, People of Color Sustainability Collective (PoCSC)\, and the American Indian Resource Center (AIRC).

SUMMARY:Book Talk with Laila Shereen Sakr: Arabic Glitch and Digital Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Laila Shereen Sakr (UC Santa Barbara) will give her talk entitled\, “Arabic Glitch and Digital Palestine” and present her recent book\, Arabic Glitch: Technocultures\, Data Bodies\, and Archives. \nArabic Glitch explores an alternative origin story of twenty-first century technological innovation in digital politics—one centered on the Middle East and the 2011 Arab uprisings. Developed from an archive of social media data collected over the decades following the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq\, this book interrogates how the logic of programming technology influences and shapes social movements. Engaging revolutionary politics\, Arab media\, and digital practice in form\, method\, and content\, Laila Shereen Sakr formulates a media theory that advances the concept of the glitch as a disruptive media affordance. Playing with multiple voices that span across the virtual and the real\, Sakr argues that there is no longer a divide between the virtual and embodied: both bodies and data are physically\, socially\, and energetically actual. \nThe concept of Arabic Glitch challenges the once dominant narratives about the relationship between technology and political agency that center Silicon Valley\, as well as the study of digital art (specifically glitch art)\, the study of online social movements\, and area studies of the Arabic-speaking Middle East and North Africa. It instigates interventions by demonstrating that twenty-first-century resistance movements are grounded in the 2011 Arab uprisings; showing how social media stage confrontations between state and resistors; introducing the valuable concept of data bodies\, which keep the body and analog experience in digital knowledge production\, and promoting software literacy. While “glitch” in popular parlance is typically understood as an unwelcome error\, an Arabic glitch functions as both a visual artifact and conceptual “tear” in technologies and institutions–a tear that creates an opening for social change. The argument interweaves ideas from artistic practice with discussions of historical and social movements while considering technoculture in the Arab world through the framework of “glitch.” \nLaila Shereen Sakr is Associate Professor of Media Theory and Practice at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. Her research in media analytics and creative scholarship have deployed the idea\, experimentation\, and aesthetics of glitch to make a series of conceptual points culminating in her single-authored book\, Arabic Glitch: Technoculture\, Data Bodies\, and Archives (Stanford University Press\, 2023). At UCSB\, she co-founded Wireframe\, a studio promoting collaborative theoretical and creative media practice with investments in global\, social\, and environmental justice. She is Faculty Affiliate in the Department of Feminist Studies\, Department of Media Arts and Technology\, Center for Responsible Machine Learning\, Center for Middle East Studies\, and the Center for Information Technology and Society. \nPresented by The Center for the Middle East and North Africa located within The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Victorian Gaslighting with Professor Nora Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Friends of the Dickens Project for our spring Friends Faculty Fellowship talk series by Associate Professor Nora Gilbert (University of North Texas) who will be discussing “Victorian Gaslighting” \nAs someone who co-specializes in Victorian literature and early Hollywood film\, I’ve long been a fan of the darkly disturbing 1944 film Gaslight starring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. During the first session of this series\, I will provide an overview of an essay collection that I’m currently co-editing with Diana Bellonby and Tara MacDonald called Victorian Gaslighting: Genealogy of an Injustice\, in which we trace the genealogy of gaslighting back to its Victorian roots by bringing together fourteen essays that examine a wide range of nineteenth-century literary texts through the lens of gaslighting. During the second session\, we will have an in-depth discussion of the 1944 film version of Gaslight itself\, which captures the “maddening” feeling of this particular form of emotional abuse so gut-wrenchingly well. \nNora Gilbert is an associate professor of English at the University of North Texas. She is the author of Better Left Unsaid: Victorian Novels\, Hays Code Films\, and the Benefits of Censorship (2013) and Gone Girls\, 1684-1901: Flights of Feminist Resistance in the Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century British Novel (2023)\, as well as a number of other essays on Victorian literature and classical Hollywood film. Since 2017\, she has served as the editor of the journal Studies in the Novel. She is the 2024 Spring Friends of the Dickens Project Faculty Fellow. \nVirtual Sessions: \n\nApril 14: Book Talk: Victorian Gaslighting: Genealogy of an Injustice\nMay 19: Discussion: Gaslight (1944) –Directed by George Cukor\n\nTo register or watch the recordings visit: UCSC The Dickens Project

SUMMARY:Dr. Stephanie Lain - Spanish Vowel and Consonant Contributions to Talker Identification and Lexical Contrast
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics presents: \nSPANISH VOWEL AND CONSONANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO TALKER IDENTIFICATION AND LEXICAL CONTRAST\nwith Dr. Stephanie Lain\n(UC Santa Cruz) \n\nAbstract \nAcoustic properties of the input determine how speech sounds are processed\, categorized\, and encoded in memory. This information is used to identify words and convey information about the speaker. The series of experiments described in this talk were undertaken with the goal of clarifying the roles vowels and consonants play in lexical decision making and talker identification in Spanish. Participants in the study were 101 listeners who self-identified as native speakers of Spanish. They performed one of six same-different auditory discrimination experiments which varied according to task (lexical decision or talker identification) and condition (unaltered stimuli\, vowels excised\, consonants excised). Responses from each participant were used to calculate a D prime score (evaluating the participant’s ability to discriminate between tokens)\, as well as a language dominance score (participants were Spanish/English bilinguals). Reaction times and null responses were also recorded. Results were analyzed using a multivariate 2 x 3 factorial analysis with language dominance as a co-variate\, followed by univariate analyses to further examine the effects of independent variables. Findings from the current study largely confirm results from previous studies conducted in English which suggest a greater reliance on consonants when performing lexical decision tasks and vowels when performing talker identity tasks. From this\, we may infer that variation observed in response to the acoustic properties of vowels and consonants appears be universal to linguistic processing and not a result of the interaction between speech sounds within a given language system. These results have implications for theories of speech perception\, particularly with regard to the role of listener experience in the perception of phonemes and talker-specific acoustic properties.

SUMMARY:Peter Galison - Time: Physics\, Film\, History
DESCRIPTION:Henri Poincaré’s and Albert Einstein’s reformulation of simultaneity was long seen as a development from imaginative thought experiments. But the all-too-material and the most abstract notions of time cross in essential ways (Swiss Patent Office\, Paris Bureau of Longitude). Galison explores this intersection in collaboration with the artist William Kentridge (“The Refusal of Time\,” 2012)\, pushing history\, physics\, and philosophy into a more associative-imaginative register. From there\, Galison turns to the 10\,000 year struggle to contain radioactive materials—a duration twice recorded in human history—and finally to the time of black holes\, and the image of the photon ring. \n\n \nPeter Galison is the Joseph Pellegrino University Professor in history of science and physics at Harvard University. He currently directs the Black Hole Initiative at Harvard\, a leading center for interdisciplinary research on black holes. His books include How Experiments End; Image and Logic: A Material Culture of Microphysics; Einstein’s Clocks\, Poincaré’s Maps; and\, with Lorraine Daston\, Objectivity. His latest feature film is Black Holes | The Edge of All We Know. \n\nNauenberg History of Science Lecture\nThe Nauenberg History of Science Lecture was established in honor of Michael Nauenberg\, a founding faculty member in the Physics Department at UCSC who came to the campus in 1966. During his distinguished academic career\, he contributed to a remarkably broad range of fields\, including particle physics\, condensed matter physics\, astrophysics\, chaos theory\, fluid dynamics\, and the history of physics in the 17th-18th centuries. \nAmongst Professor Nauenberg’s passions\, he deeply believed in the importance of interdisciplinary scholarship connecting the sciences with the humanities. Following his retirement in 1994\, he pursued his long-standing interests in the history of science\, writing books and articles about Joseph Banks\, Robert Hooke\, Christiaan Huygens\, and Isaac Newton. The Nauenberg History of Science Lecture series aims to bring the best historians of science to UCSC to share the importance of this interdisciplinary work with faculty\, students\, and interested community members. You can support the series by contributing here.\n \nThe Nauenberg History of Science Lecture is presented by the UC Santa Cruz Emeriti Association and co-sponsored by Crown College\, the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics (SCIPP)\, the Arts Research Institute\, and the History Department.

SUMMARY:Project Paradiso: A Gateway to Dante’s Heaven - Episode Thirteen – Early Receptions
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 \n \nSimon Gilson is Agnelli-Serena Professor of Italian and Fellow of Magdalen College\, University of Oxford. He has published widely on Dante’s reception in fourteenth-\, fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italy. His publications include: Dante and Renaissance Florence (CUP 2005) and Reading Dante in Renaissance Italy: Florence\, Venice and the ‘Divine Poet’ (CUP 2018). \n  \n  \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

SUMMARY:Right Livelihood International Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join us April 23-27\, 2024\, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the UCSC Right Livelihood Center. We will inaugurate UCSC’s new role as Global Secretariat of the Right Livelihood College network\, launch an international student network\, launch faculty-laureate research clusters\, and more. Events are free and open to the public. \nLearn more about the conference and register for events at: https://rightlivelihood.ucsc.edu/conference \nFeaturing International Speakers: Phylis Omido\, Juan Pablo Orrego\, and International Student Delegates. \nPhyllis Omido – dubbed the “Erin Brockovich of East Africa” – is a Kenyan environmental activist leading the battle for the justice and health of the Owino Uhuru community that has suffered from lead poisoning ever since a battery smelting plant began operating in their village. Omido’s use of litigation\, advocacy\, and media engagement has set vital legal precedents\, affirming people’s right to a clean and healthy environment and the state’s responsibility to safeguard it. \nJuan Pablo Orrego is a Chilean musician and environmentalist who has worked for decades to preserve the Biobío River\, one of South America’s most spectacular and ecologically significant rivers. The campaign has become a symbol of the environmental and social struggle still ongoing in the country\, connecting the dots between energy policy\, environment\, indigenous people’s rights\, monopolies\, and the neo-liberal development goals of the establishment. \nWe will be joined by a cadre of thirteen students from the Global Campus of Human Rights\, a network comprised of over 100 universities\, and the Right Livelihood College\, a network with campuses in Nigeria\, India\, Thailand\, Chile\, Argentina\, Sweden\, Germany\, Switzerland\, and UC Santa Cruz. \n  \n  \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Institute for Social Transformation\, Division of Social Sciences\, UCSC Foundation\, Kamieniecki Lecture Fund Endowment\, Merrill\, Porter and Stevenson Colleges\, Global Campus of Human Rights\, Student Fee Advisory Committee\, Dolores Huerta Research Center for the Americas\, The Humanities Institute\, Politics Democratic Discourse and Engagement Initiative\, Legal Studies Department\, Silicon Valley Leadership Group\, Division of Student Affairs and Success\, and The Jack and Peggy Baskin Endowed Chair in Feminist Studies.

SUMMARY:Carla Freccero – Do Animals Have History?
DESCRIPTION:This talk\, very much a meditation-in-progress\, asks a series of questions about how we (in the Western European intellectual tradition) come to think about the categories of history and evolution and the various ways we might deconstruct this opposition\, making way for co-constitutive material histories of the living. It also asks whether\, in the time of the now\, we are prepared to overcome a Cartesian inheritance to confront a shared\, shattered\, and shattering historical predicament together with other living others. \nCarla Freccero is Distinguished Professor of Literature and History of Consciousness at UCSC\, where she has taught since 1991. Trained in early modern continental European history and literature\, she also publishes in US popular culture\, queer and feminist theory\, and\, most recently\, animal studies. Author of three books (on Rabelais; on popular culture; and on Queer Early Modernity) and co-editor of a number of journal issues dealing with sexuality\, race and animality\, her in-progress book is tentatively titled Animate Figures. \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. Staff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Yosimar Reyes' One-Man Show: "Prieto"
DESCRIPTION:NATIONALLY ACCLAIMED POET\, YOSIMAR REYES\, BRINGS HIS FULL-LENGTH AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ONE-MAN SHOW TO UC SANTA CRUZ\nDirected by Kat Evasco and Sean San José\, Produced by The Living World Project \n  \nCRES 70u – (Un)docu Studies\, in collaboration with the Cultural Arts and Diversity Resource Center (CADrc) and the Center for Racial Justice (CRJ) bring the captivating autobiographical one-man show written and performed by renowned artist Yosimar Reyes – “Prieto” to UC Santa Cruz. \nThrough the playful\, lovably naive lens of an 8-year-old Reyes\, Prieto tells the story of an overprotective grandmother who recycles bottles to support her family while her grandson wonders why they can’t have money like his friends. It tells the story of chismosa vecinas (gossipy neighbors) who peek through their windows and watch as the neighborhood boys tease young Reyes for “acting like a girl.” To escape from the taunting and the daily toil\, Reyes creates an imaginary world for himself — one made up of books and ’90s R&B. Prieto saw its world premiere production at San Francisco’s Brava Theater in October 2022. Now on tour with The Living Word Project\, Prieto has seen productions at San Jose Theater\, and Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana (MACLA) in San Jose\, CA. \nThis event is free for UCSC Students\, Faculty and Staff with Registration. Doors will open at 7:00 PM\, show begins at 7:30PM. \n \n  \nCo-sponsored by Baskin School of Engineering\, Center for Reimagining Leadership\, Dean of Students Office\, Division of Student Affairs and Success\, El Centro – Chicanx Latinx Resource Center\, The Lionel Cantú Queer Resource Center\, HSI Initiatives\, Social Science Division\, The Humanities Institute\, Humanities Division\, Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, Education Department\, and the Sociology Department.

SUMMARY:Saturday Shakespeare
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Shakespeare Workshop at UCSC\, the first in-person meeting of the Saturday Shakespeare Group in four years will take place on Saturday\, April 27th in the new Aptos Library\, with a Zoom option for those who can not attend in person. The nominal meeting time is 10:00 am\, library doors open at 10:00 am. \nThe speaker for this meeting will be Paul Whitworth\, distinguished Shakespearean actor and director. \nHis professional acting career began at the Royal Shakespeare Company (1976-1982). In 1984\, he joined Shakespeare Santa Cruz where he played many major roles including Hamlet\, Benedict in Much Ado About Nothing\, Iago\, Richard III\, and last year\, at Santa Cruz Shakespeare\, King Lear. He was Artistic Director of Shakespeare Santa Cruz from 1996 to 2007. \nReadings: All of Act I + Act II Scene 1 \nReading Coordinator: Bob Morgan | rmorgan3135@gmail.com\nIf you would like to read please email Bob as soon as possible. \nZoom Information\nFor those who will be attending by Zoom\, here is the Zoom information. The link is:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/89795220016?pwd=QRcs1tQt6TAxaaBdYqUrXW6XVu4JlJ.1\nMeeting ID: 897 9522 0016\nPasscode: 755261 \nFuture Meetings \n\nApril 27 | Paul Whitworth\nMay 4 | Charles Pasternack\nMay 11 | Sean Keilen\nMay 18 | Michael Warren\nMay 25 | DVD showing\nJune 1 | Zoom only showing of DVD\n\nDirections\nThe Aptos library is easy to find –> Exit highway 1 at State Park Drive and go north to Soquel Drive. Turn left on Soquel Drive and the library is almost immediately on the right. The address is 7695 Soquel Dr\, Aptos\, CA 95003. There is free parking. \nThe Text\nWe will be using the Pelican edition. If you would like to read please get hold of a copy of this edition because there are differences between different editions. There are two sources for the play\, the second quarto (Q2) of 1604-5 and the first folio (F) of 1623. The folio contains 70 lines not in Q2 and lacks 230 that are in Q2. Most editions combine them in a conflated text\, thus making a long play even longer. The pelican edition does not do that\, but sticks almost entirely to Q2. As a result there will be significant differences between the Pelican edition and an edition that uses a conflated text. \nUnfortunately Bookshop Santa Cruz won’t order copies for the group (unless all copies are paid for in advance). You will therefore need to order a copy yourself. Alternatively you can buy it on Amazon. It is difficult to find the Pelican edition by searching on the Amazon site. Better is to google “Hamlet Pelican Edition Amazon”. \nDonations to Santa Cruz Shakespeare\nOur meetings are free\, but we suggest that members make a contribution to Santa Cruz Shakespeare. \nTo do this you can either make a donation by credit card through their website or send a check payable to Santa Cruz Shakespeare:\nSanta Cruz Shakespeare\n501 Upper Park Rd\nSanta Cruz\, CA 95065 \nIf you send a check\, it would be helpful if you could indicate that this gift is on behalf of the Saturday Shakespeare Group. \nNew Members Wanted\nWe are always looking for new members. Everyone is welcome. If you know of anyone who would be interested in attending these meetings\, please encourage them to do so. Contact saturdayshakespeare@gmail.com to be added to the mailing list. \nNote: It is strongly encouraged to attend in person if you possibly can. The lectures and readings will be much more vivid for those actually present\, and the in-person interactions will restart the social aspect of the group.

SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Pickwick Club
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Santa Cruz Dickens Fellowship and the Santa Cruz Pickwick Club for our monthly Pickwick Club meeting. New this year\, we will be devoting an entire year to one novel instead of two\, and will dive deeply into Great Expectations. 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
