SUMMARY:SALA 2025:  The South Asian Literature and Art Festival
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Menlo College in collaboration with Art Forum SF\, the South Asian Literature and Art Festival (SALA) showcases contemporary reflections on literature and art from the sub-continent and its diaspora. Showcasing South Asian culture and diasporic concerns\, it features highly-acclaimed\, contemporary South Asian speakers as well as over twenty panel discussions on art\, literature\, poetry\, cinema\, culinary arts\, and more. This year’s theme\, “thoughts without borders\,” draws our attention to the need to come together in our contemporary moment to examine the borders we create\, such as caste\, class\, gender\, and nationhood\, which can serve to separate instead of connect us. \nThe Festival will take place September 13-14 at Menlo College in Atherton\, and it is co-sponsored by the UC Santa Cruz Center for South Asian Studies. \nFor more information\, please visit the Festival website: https://www.salafestival.org/

SUMMARY:John Scalzi - The Shattering Peace
DESCRIPTION:  \nBookshop Santa Cruz welcomes acclaimed science fiction master John Scalzi who\, after a decade\, returns to the galaxy of the Old Man’s War series with the long awaited seventh book\, The Shattering Peace. This event is co-sponsored by the Humanities Institute. \n“John Scalzi writes science fiction that is fun\, intelligent\, and irreverent. I haven’t enjoyed science fiction this much in years.” —Christopher Paolini\, author of Eragon \n \nYour RSVP helps Bookshop plan for your arrival and keep in touch with any changes. Thank you for registering! \nTHE PEACE IS SHATTERING: For a decade\, peace has reigned in interstellar space. A tripartite agreement between the Colonial Union\, the Earth\, and the alien Conclave has kept the forces of war at bay\, even when some would have preferred to return to the fighting and struggle of former times. For now\, more sensible heads have prevailed – and have even championed unity. \nBut now\, there is a new force that threatens the hard-maintained peace: The Consu\, the most advanced intelligent species humans have ever met\, are on the cusp of a species-defining civil war. This war is between Consu factions… but nothing the Consu ever do is just about them. The Colonial Union\, the Earth and the Conclave have been unwillingly dragged into the conflict\, in the most surprising of ways. \nGretchen Trujillo is a mid-level diplomat\, working in an unimportant part of the Colonial Union bureaucracy. But when she is called to take part in a secret mission involving representatives from every powerful faction in space\, what she finds there has the chance to redefine the destinies of humans and aliens alike… or destroy them forever. \nJohn Scalzi is one of the most popular science fiction authors of his generation. His debut\, Old Man’s War\, won him the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. His New York Times bestsellers include The Last Colony\, Fuzzy Nation\, Redshirts (which won the Hugo Award for Best Novel)\, The Last Emperox\, The Kaiju Preservation Society\, and Starter Villain. Material from his blog\, Whatever\, has earned him two other Hugo Awards. He lives in Ohio with his wife and daughter. \n

SUMMARY:More-than-Human(ities) Lab Meet-and-Greet
DESCRIPTION:The More-than-Human(ities) Lab is a multidisciplinary “playgroup”–to borrow from Anna Tsing–dedicated to sharing resources in support of collaborative environmental humanities research. Launched in 2024 as a research cluster of The Humanities Institute\, MtH offers speaking events\, reading groups\, and manuscript “share seshes” for those interested in the more-than-human and with different intellectual\, artistic\, and community-engaged roots. From its start\, our sincere aim has been to make the group a collaborative place. \nTo this end\, we invite you to our lab’s meet-and-greet on Tuesday\, September 30 from 12:00-1:30pm in Humanities 1\, 210. Light refreshments will be served. This will be our chance to come together to get to know one another\, share one wish\, question\, and/or response for/to the lab\, and discuss lab activities for the year ahead. \nThe welcome will feature a reading by poet and essayist Pedro Uc Be from Buctzotz\, Yucatán. Pedro is one of the foremost voices against the development of the so-called Maya Train. His work explores how language is inseparable from land and how environmental ethics are frequently embedded within language itself. \nYou may also sign up for updates on the website linked above. This event is open to UCSC faculty\, students\, and staff only.
