SUMMARY:Slugs and Steins with Professor Alma Heckman - Fascism and Anti-Fascism: Jewish and Muslim Politics in Interwar Morocco
DESCRIPTION:Interwar Morocco was home to a thriving anti-fascist political scene with intimate connections to France and Spain. Politically active Moroccan Jews and Muslims were found in the ranks of many different anti-fascist organizations\, above all the International League Against Antisemitism\, or the LICA after its French acronym (Ligue internationale contre l’antisémitisme). Through organizations like the LICA\, Moroccan Jews and Muslims responded to rising fascism and antisemitism out of a sense of shared political values. \n \nAlma Rachel Heckman is the Neufeld-Levin Chair of Holocaust Studies and Associate Professor of History and Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz. Her book The Sultan’s Communists: Moroccan Jews and the Politics of Belonging was published by Stanford University Press in 2021. \n  \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Joseph Stiglitz - The Road to Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz is joining forces with The Humanities Institute and the Institute for Social Transformation to present Joseph E. Stiglitz—one of the world’s leading economists and winner of the Nobel Prize—who will discuss his new book\, The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society\, a compelling new vision of personal and economic freedom. Professor Stiglitz will be in conversation with Dr. Chris Benner\, Dorothy E. Everett Chair in Global Information and Social Entrepreneurship\, and a Professor of Environmental Studies and Sociology at UC Santa Cruz. \n \nWe are a nation born from the conviction that people must be free. But since the middle of the last century\, that idea has been co-opted. Forces on the political Right have justified exploitation by cloaking it in the rhetoric of freedom\, leading to pharmaceutical companies freely overcharging for medication\, a Big Tech free from oversight\, politicians free to incite rebellion\, corporations free to pollute\, and more. How did we get here? Whose freedom are we—and should we—be thinking about? \nIn The Road to Freedom\, Nobel prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz dissects America’s current economic system and the political ideology that created it\, laying bare their twinned failure. “Free” and unfettered markets have only succeeded in delivering a series of crises: the financial crisis\, the opioid crisis\, and the crisis of inequality. While a small portion of the population has amassed considerable wealth\, wages for most people have stagnated. Free and unfettered markets have exploited consumers\, workers\, and the environment alike. Such failures have fed populist movements that believe being free means abandoning any obligations citizens have to one another. As they grow in strength\, these movements now pose a real threat to true economic and political freedom. \nAs an economic advisor to presidents and as chief economist at the World Bank\, Stiglitz has witnessed these profound changes firsthand. As he argues\, the failures follow from the elites’ unshakeable dedication to “the neoliberal experiment.” Explicitly taking on giants such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman\, Stiglitz exposes accepted ideas about our political and economic life for what they are: twisted visions that tear at the social fabric while they enrich the very few. \nThe Road to Freedom breaks new ground\, showing how economics—including recent advances in which Stiglitz has played such an important role—reframes how to think about freedom and the role of the state in a twenty-first century society. Drawing on the work of contemporary philosophers\, Stiglitz explains a deeper\, more humane way to assess freedoms—one that considers with care what to do when one person’s freedom conflicts with another’s. We must reimagine our existing economic and legal systems and embrace forms of collective action\, including regulation and investment\, if we are to create an innovative society in which everyone can flourish. The task could not be more urgent\, and Stiglitz’s latest book is essential reading for those committed to the American ideal of an economic and political system that delivers well-being\, opportunity\, and meaningful freedoms for all. \nJoseph E. Stiglitz is a Nobel Prize-winning economist and the best-selling author of People\, Power\, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent; Globalization and Its Discontents Revisited: Anti-Globalization in the Age of Trump; The Price of Inequality; and Freefall. He was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Clinton\, chief economist of the World Bank\, named by Time as one of the 100 most influential individuals in the world\, and now teaches at Columbia University and is chief economist of the Roosevelt Institute.

SUMMARY:Gary Griggs: California Catastrophes
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes Gary Griggs\, local author and Distinguished Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at UC Santa Cruz\, for a discussion and signing of his new book California Catastrophes: The Natural Disaster History of the Golden State. This comprehensive account of California’s numerous and perilous natural disasters explores how a unique combination of forces has affected Californians throughout the state’s history and carries a sobering message about our short disaster memories. This event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. \n \nYour registration helps us plan for your arrival and keep in touch with any changes. \nThank you for registering! \n“Griggs has long been a voice for being prepared for that extreme event just around the corner. He has done it again with California Catastrophes\, a must-read for every long-term Californian.” —John Laird\, California State Senator and former California Secretary for Natural Resources \nCalifornia has more natural hazards per square mile than any other state\, but this hasn’t deterred people from moving here. Entire California towns and regions frequently contend with destruction caused by earthquakes\, floods\, landslides and debris flows\, and sea-level rise and coastal erosion. As Gary Griggs demonstrates in California Catastrophes\, few years go by without a disaster of some kind\, and residents often rebuild in the same locations that were just destroyed. \nConsidering the current climate crisis and increasing environmental inequalities\, the stakes are growing ever higher. This book dives into the history of the state’s vulnerability to natural hazards\, why and where these events occur\, and how Californians can better prepare going forward. A mix of photographs and maps both historical and contemporary orients readers within the state’s sprawling landscapes and provides glimpses of some of the geologic risks in each region. With the final chapter\, Griggs issues a call to action and challenges readers to envision a safer\, more equitable\, and sustainable future. \nGary Griggs is Distinguished Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where he has taught for more than fifty years. His research and teaching have focused on natural disasters and the California coast.
