SUMMARY:"Doing Critical Race and Ethnic Studies in a Neoliberal Age" Symposium
DESCRIPTION:[vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \n \nThis spring bears the fruit of many years of student activism at UC Santa Cruz\, namely\, the inauguration of a Critical Race and Ethnic Studies (CRES) program dedicated to studying the ideological formations and institutional productions of race and ethnicity. Recognizing that the institutionalization of CRES is both an exciting moment and a reminder of the work we must keep showing up for\, we ask: \n• How can we foster creative ways to keep activist and academic knowledges in conversation?\n• How can scholarly activity be held accountable to social justice struggles?\n• How can we build and strengthen ties across institutional and organizational walls? \nThe context of this moment of institutionalization is the neoliberal erosion of public education and the casualization of all forms of academic labor that have transformed education into a privileged commodity available only to a few and rendered education a site of labor precariousness. At UC Santa Cruz\, recent student experiences with the literal “campus to jail busline” attest to these neoliberal processes. Aimed at fostering critical dialogue about doing critical race work in this historical moment\, this symposium brings together community organizers and social justice activists with campus organizers\, students\, staff\, and faculty from regional community colleges\, state colleges\, and universities to examine militarization\, post-9/11 terror-baiting\, and the criminalization of racialized bodies as the effects of neoliberal policies that cut across campus and community boundaries. \nPlease join us June 6-7 at UC Santa Cruz to strengthen the bonds of solidarity\, combine our knowledges\, and build coalitions around interconnected struggles. \nFree and open to the public. \nNote\, event has been moved to the Humanities Lecture Hall.\n[/vc_column_text] [rb_blank_divider width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [rb_section_title title=”Schedule” icon=”con-none” border=”true” margin=”0″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \nFriday\, June 6\n4:00 PM: Welcome and Coffee Sandra Harvey (CRES Student Working Group) \n4:05 PM: Blessing by Corrina Gould (Indian People Organizing for Change) \n4:20 PM: State of CRES and Reportback on Critical Ethnic Studies Conference by Jasmine Syedullah (CRES Student Working Group) \n4:30-6:30 PM: Discussion I: The Prison Industrial Complex & the Public University \nFacilitator: Gina Dent (Feminist Studies) \nParticipants: Sadie Reynolds (Sociology\, Cabrillo College)\, OT Quintero (Barrios Unidos)\, Misty Rojo (Justice Now)\, Tash Nguyen* (Sin Barras)\, Ivan Medina (IGNITE) \n  \nSaturday\, June 7\n9:30 AM: Welcome and Coffee William Ladusaw (Dean of Humanities) \n10:00-12:00 PM: Discussion II: Militarization\, Criminalization\, and Racial and Gender Violence \nFacilitator: Christine Hong (Literature) \nParticipants: Lara Kiswani (Arab Resource & Organizing Center)\, Sami Abed (Resource Center for Non-Violence)\, Boian-Christoph Boianov (Committee for Justice in Palestine)\, Tierney Yates (Black Unity Group\, San Jose State)\, Isa Noyola and Marcia Ochoa (El/La Para Translatinas)\, Monica Jones (Sex Worker Outreach Program Phoenix) \n12:00-1:30 PM: Lunch \n1:30-3:30 PM: Discussion III: Political Education and Activist Knowledges \nFacilitator: Cindy Cruz (Education) \nParticipants: Nancy Kim (Asian American & Pacific Islander Resource Center and Ethnic Resource Centers)\, Carolyn Dunn (American Indian Resource Center)\, Corrina Gould (Indian People Organizing for Change)\, Xamuel Banales (Ethnic Studies\, Northern Arizona University)\, Shaila Ramos\, David Padilla\, Mayra Chavez\, Marjory Ruiz (Students Informing Now)\, Michael James (Popular Education 2.0) \n3:30 PM: Coffee Break \n4:00-5:30 PM: Closing Discussion: Envisioning CRES on Campus and Beyond \nFacilitators: Marcia Ochoa (Feminist Studies) and Jessica Whatcott (CRES Student Working Group) \n6:00-7:00 PM: Closing reception with light food and refreshments \n[/vc_column_text] [/vc_column] [rb_blank_divider width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [rb_section_title title=”Sponsors & Acknowledgements” icon=”con-none” border=”true” margin=”0″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \n[vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]\nPresented by the Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Research Cluster\, with generous support from the Division of Humanities; Graduate Student Association; UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies; UC Center for New Racial Studies; Office of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion; Stevenson College; and the Departments of American Studies\, History\, Literature\, and Politics. \nPoster Art: LA PROMESA DE LOMA PRIETA: QUE NO SE REPITA LA HISTORIA (THE PROMISE OF LOMA PRIETA: THAT HISTORY NOT REPEAT ITSELF)\, the University of California at Santa Cruz\, Oakes College Mural\, by Juana Alicia ©1992.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Horror Auteur Film Series: À l ́interieur
DESCRIPTION:A French body horror film that takes home invasion movies to their ne plus ultra\, Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s À l’intérieur depicts the attempts of Sarah (Alysson Paradis)\, very pregnant and very alone in her house on Christmas Eve\, to ward off the efforts of “La Femme” (Beátrice Dalle) to break into Sarah’s home and (if she can) Sarah’s womb to take the baby for herself. Mixing together this gruesome premise with yuletide ennui and the aftereffects of the banlieue riots of 2005\, the film is a moody and unsettlingly downbeat Christmas tale. Not to be missed! \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing films by contemporary horror film auteurs from France\, Japan\, and the United States each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends. \nSponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados. More informative flyers to follow weekly.

SUMMARY:Mortality: Facing Death in Ancient Greece
DESCRIPTION:Mortality: Facing Death in Ancient Greece is a four-week Summer Institute funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Beginning from the premise that mortality is the condition that gives life its singular human quality\, the goal of the Institute is to develop a multi-disciplinary approach to mortality in ancient Greece as the basis for rigorous and innovative teaching and scholarship in the Humanities. Under the guidance of experts\, the Institute will bring together twenty-five college and university teachers and three graduate students to examine relevant material from a broad range of ancient Greek literary sources\, visual and archaeological remains\, and historical periods\, ranging from the 8th to the 3rd centuries BCE. The Institute encourages the study of mortality in ancient Greece as the basis for comparative study across cultures\, disciplines\, and historical periods. \nInstitute Faculty:\nKaren Bassi\, Institute Director\nBrooke Holmes\, Visiting Scholar\nSarah Iles Johnston\, Visiting Scholar\nSheila Murnaghan\, Visiting Scholar\nYiannis Petropoulos\, Visiting Scholar\nKirk Sanders\, Visiting Scholar\nYannis Tzifopoulos\, Visiting Scholar\nMichael Wedde\, Local Guest Scholar \nVisit the Institute website for more information: mortality.ihr.ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Modern Jewish Spaces From the Venice Ghetto to Contemporary Classifications: Summer Workshop for Young Researchers in Jewish Culture and Identity
DESCRIPTION:Modern Jewish Spaces From the Venice Ghetto to Contemporary Classifications \nSummer Workshop for Young Researchers in Jewish Culture and Identity \nIn conjunction with the University of California\, Santa Cruz \nJune 30 – July 2\, 2014 at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute \nAttending the workshop is by invitation only \nSummer Workshop Program \nContemporary globalization brings to the forefront the relation between identity and spatial location; it highlights new and multiple cross-cutting transnational allegiances that bear on central aspects of Jewish identity\, which some contemporary writers and researchers have begun to explore and elaborate. The Venice Ghetto raises a range of questions about Modern Jewish Spaces that have played central roles in Jewish and European culture since the Jews were sequestered in the Ghetto at its founding in 1516. The history of the Ghetto\, its image and its symbolic resonances have generated different models that have become subtexts of several Modern Jewish Spaces\, often implicitly reverted to in desperate Jewish historical moments. A broad range of questions arise from the study of Modern Jewish Spaces\, such as the following: \n• Are there sets of necessary and sufficient conditions that constitute different paradigmatic Modern Jewish Spaces?\n• What do Modern Jewish Spaces mean for those who live in them\, or for those outside?\n• What roles do political\, social and cultural power play in and for these Modern Jewish Spaces?\n• What was/is the influence of the State of Israel on contemporary definitions of Jewish people?\n• What roles do minority cultures in Modern Jewish Spaces assume and fulfill? \nThe summer workshop will provide an opportunity to investigate these and other related questions. \nAcademic committee:\nProf. Shaul Bassi\, Prof. Elisheva Baumgarten\,\nProf. Murray Baumgarten\, Dr. Yotam Benziman\,\nDr. Manuela Consonni\, Prof. Shmuel Feiner\,\nProf. Aviad Hacohen\, Prof. Debra Kaplan\,\nProf. Haviva Pedaya\, Prof. Amnon Raz-Krakotzkin\,\nProf. Uzi Rebhun\, Dr. Avinoam Rosenak\,\nRabbi Naftali Rothenberg\, Dafna Schreiber \nThe Van Leer Jerusalem Institute\n43 Jabotinsky St.\, Jerusalem\nwww.vanleer.org.il\nPhotographs taken at the event will be posted on the Institute’s website and on social networks.

SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Shakespeare: "As You Like It" (Jul 1 - Aug 10)
DESCRIPTION:As You Like It \nBy William Shakespeare\nDirected by Mark Rucker \nIn the Sinsheimer-Stanley Festival Glen \nJuly 1 – August 10\nPreviews July 1st \, 2nd and 3rd\n(All Preview Tickets are $20.00) \nLove at first sight\, a wrestling match\, cross-dressing and a fool! Shakespeare’s delightful\, romantic comedy As You Like It boasts all four\, cleverly intertwined with the trials and triumphs of love. Exiled from court\, Rosalind ventures into the idyllic Forest of Arden with the fool\, Touchstone\, only to discover her true love Orlando awaits her. What follows is an elaborate scheme to capture his heart through her witty and playful ploy: instruct Orlando how to woo a woman while disguised as a boy. As You Like It explores the vast and varied incarnations of love culminating in a woodland wedding extravaganza! \nSanta Cruz Shakespeare (SCS) is a new\, independent non-profit theatre company rooted in Santa Cruz\, California and dedicated to the plays of William Shakespeare and other dynamic playwrights whose work celebrates language. SCS will carry on the tradition of professional\, thought-provoking and passionate theater in Santa Cruz. \nSCS was funded by theatre-lovers in Santa Cruz and beyond after its predecessor\, a 32-year old Shakespeare Festival affiliated with the University of California at Santa Cruz\, closed in December 2013. Thanks to the generosity of its donors\, and the fiscal sponsorship of Arts Council Santa Cruz County\, SCS’s 2014 Summer Season is fully forward-funded. This means that all the money required for production this year is already in-hand. Simply put: ticket revenue\, along with all donations and grants received after March 1\, 2014\, will help to ensure a 2015 season. As we are fond of saying\, “we have thrown away the credit card and broken out the debit card.” It also means that in many ways our future success as a company rests in the hands of this community. If our audiences buy tickets to the season\, donate\, volunteer\, and urge friends to do the same\, Santa Cruz Shakespeare will not only survive\, but thrive. \nIn addition to the summer repertory season\, SCS is proud to interface with the community through a number of vital education and outreach initiatives including an Intern Program\, the Don Rothman pre-show and post-show discussion talkbacks as well as Weekend with Shakespeare in conjunction with UCSC’s Associate Professor of Literature Sean Keilen and Professor Emeritus\, Michael Warren.

SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Shakespeare: "The Fringe Show: The Beard of Avon" (Jul 29 & Aug 5)
DESCRIPTION:The Fringe Show: The Beard of Avon \nBy Amy Freed\nDirected by Steve Boyle \nIn the Sinsheimer-Stanley Festival Glen \nJuly 29th and August 5th ONLY\n(All Fringe Show Tickets are $16.00) \nIn this mad-cap comedy a swain known as “Will Shakspere” who longs to be an artist flees his rural life for the stages of Elizabethan London. Did this novice actor become the ghost writer for the Earl of Oxford\, Sir Francis Bacon\, and even Queen Elizabeth? Authors too proud to admit they scribbled plays for the unwashed masses? This intelligent and fun-filled farce deliberates the longstanding debate over who really penned Shakespeare’s canon. With a gleeful wink at intervening centuries\, Amy Freed’s deliciously witty The Beard of Avon portrays Will’s comic struggles to become an artist in his own right in this bawdy\, hilarious\, conspiracy-laden origin story of how a poor hayseed with wild dreams found himself in over his head and became the man we know as Shakespeare. \nSanta Cruz Shakespeare (SCS) is a new\, independent non-profit theatre company rooted in Santa Cruz\, California and dedicated to the plays of William Shakespeare and other dynamic playwrights whose work celebrates language.

Focusing on the interdisciplinary theme of indigeneity\, together they will engage graduate students in a series of collaborative training and research activities and will test\, refine\, and assess a scalable model of skill training and digital archiving that can be applied in multiple contexts and to multiple themes. \nIGHERT further aims to attune the participants to the larger public contexts in which expert knowledge in the humanities is meaningful and to equip them with the written and oral skills necessary to communicate with these public constituencies more effectively. Students from Ph.D. programs in UC Santa Cruz’s Division of Humanities will be selected to participate in a series of themed meetings and workshops in Santa Cruz\, Milwaukee\, Canberra\, and Giessen\, as well as to receive on-going mentoring from both local and partner faculty participants over the period of the project.  In collaboration with the Division of Graduate Studies\, the IGHERT pilot will provide fellowship and project travel support for our student participants. \nClick here for more info \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Karl Marlantes: "What It Is Like To Go To War"
DESCRIPTION:Santa Cruz Public Libraries presents an author visit and discussion with best selling author\, Karl Marlantes. \nAs a Marine lieutenant during the Vietnam War\, Karl Marlantes learned what every young officer learns – to fire a rifle\, to command a platoon\, to fight and to kill. Over the next four decades\, he spent his time reading\, thinking and writing a memoir that helped him come to terms with that experience. \nIn his book\, “What It Is Like to Go to War\,” Marlantes writes that while the Marine Corps trained him to kill\, “it didn’t teach me how to deal with killing.” \nIf the folks at the nonprofit organization Cal Humanities have their way\, people will be reading Marlantes’ book this fall. It’s the featured selection of California Reads: The War Comes Home\, a program offered by libraries throughout the state. Its goal: to bring people together to think and talk about what it is like to be a veteran. \nMarlantes’ book tour as part of California Reads includes multiple stops in Northern and Southern California\, at public libraries\, colleges and universities\, and veterans centers. \n  \nLocally\, Monterey County Free Libraries will sponsor a discussion with the author on Oct. 10 at 5:30 p.m. in CSU Monterey Bay’s library\, Room 1180. While the event is free\, attendees must purchase a parking permit from a machine on the lot or online. \nThe first 100 attendees will receive a free copy of the book.

SUMMARY:Lisa Lowe: "Colonial Difference and the Neoliberal Present"
DESCRIPTION:This lecture casts the history of liberal modernity as a complex\, braided project\, which includes at once the universal promises of rights\, emancipation\, wage labor and free trade\, as well as the global divisions and colonial asymmetries upon which those promises depend\, and according to which such liberties are reserved for some and denied to others. A history of the present\, which defamiliarizes given narratives of the present social formation\, may reveal the subsumption of colonial difference in the history of modern progress\, and query the assumptions regarding the continuity of the neoliberal present as either the apotheosis or betrayal of the liberal project. \nLisa Lowe is a scholar in the fields of comparative literature\, and the cultural politics of race\, colonialism\, and diaspora at Tufts University. Before joining Tufts\, she taught in the Literature Department at UC San Diego for over two decades. She is the recipient of awards and fellowships from the Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundations\, the UC Humanities Research Institute\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, the School of Advanced Study-University of London\, and the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto. Lowe is the author of Critical Terrains: French and British Orientalisms (Cornell UP)\, Immigrant Acts: On Asian American Cultural Politics (Duke UP)\, and coauthor of The Politics of Culture in the Shadow of Capital (Duke UP). Her most recent project\, The Intimacies of Four Continents\, a study of the global conditions for liberal economy\, knowledge\, culture\, and politics\, is forthcoming from Duke UP in 2015. Lowe received her Ph.D. in Literature from UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:"Lasting and Passing": The Poetics of Remainders with Margaret Ronda
DESCRIPTION:Poetry & Politics Presents: Margaret Ronda\, featuring Whitney DeVos and Keegan Cook Finberg \nThis talk offers an extended reading of the work of rural Midwestern modernist poet Lorine Niedecker\, whose poetry attends to various forms and speeds of what she calls “human material obsolescing.” The imaginative tarrying with these “outdated remains” (in Benjamin’s phrase) offers an example of a larger poetic archive that reflects on\, and reflects\, poetry’s diminishing cultural status in the twentieth century. The talk draws on Benjamin and Adorno’s theory of natural history (Naturgeschichte)\, which understands transience and susceptibility to ruin as the shared characteristic of “natural being” and “historical being.” Bringing a materialist philosophy of history to bear on this poetic archive throws into relief the ecological character of obsolescence itself\, illuminating a different version of ecologically-oriented literature than the American environmentalist tradition\, with its emphasis on wild nature\, has privileged. In turn\, this poetics of remainders—the material remnants of the production and commodification of nature\, now displaced\, unproductive\, and uncanny—renders visible the dispossessions and ecological violence on which capital accumulation depends. \nMargaret Ronda specializes in American poetry of the nineteenth through twenty-first centuries. Particular areas of interest include Marxist criticism\, aesthetic and genre theory\, ecological literary modes\, and avant-garde poetics. She is currently writing a book entitled Remainders: Poetry at Nature’s End\,  which examines how modern poetry serves as a distinctive site for charting uneven development and for archiving obsolescent forms of experience. Her first book of poetry\, Personification\, won the 2009 Saturnalia Books Poetry Prize. \nWe invite you to join us at the Felix Kulpa Gallery in downtown Santa Cruz for a reading with Margaret Ronda and local poets and UCSC graduate students Keegan Cook Finberg and Whitney DeVos. The reading will begin at 6 p.m.\, with an opening reception at 5:30 p.m. \nMore information about these events and others can be found at www.ucscpoetrypolitics.com

SUMMARY:Jane Grimshaw: "The use of force in clausal complementation"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Linguistics is pleased to present Jane Grimshaw of Rutgers University speaking on\nThe use of force in clausal complementation. \nAbstract:\nThe SAY-schema verbs (Grimshaw in press) combine with a wide range of clauses in complex complementation structures\, including quoted and non-quoted clauses in post-verbal complement position\, and quoted and non-quoted clauses hosting parentheticals.\nSome SAY-schema verbs encode the Illocutionary Force of the speech acts that they report. Others do not. Some of the complementation structures themselves encode Force\, while others do not.\nThe patterns of verb-clause combination\, or “selection” effects\, result from the interplay between the Force encoded in the verb’s meaning and the Force of the clause. Variation among predicates is highly restricted\, and the evidence needed to learn which complements a verb combines with is accessible in simple discourses.\n  \n\n  \n2014 – 2015 Speakers \nFALL 2014\nOctober 17th\nJane Grimshaw\, Rutgers \nDecember 12th\nAdam Albright\, MIT \nWINTER 2015\nJanuary 16th\nClaire Halpert\, University of Minnesota \nJanuary 23rd\nValentine Hacquard\, Maryland \nFebruary 6th\nRachel Walker\, USC \nmid-March: date TBA\nLASC: Linguistics at Santa Cruz Conference \nSPRING 2015\nApril 10th\nDaniel Lassiter\, Stanford \nApril 17th\nKeith Johnson\, UC Berkeley \nMay 1st\nGrant Goodall\, UC San Diego \nMay/June: date TBA\nLURC: Linguistics Undergraduate Research Conference

SUMMARY:1984 -- Beyond the Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years ago saw the culmination of increasing social conflict in Punjab\, a Sikh-majority state in India. In 1984\, the government of India launched a military operation on the Sikhs’ central religious site\, aimed at militants but also ensnaring innocent pilgrims. Later that year\, Sikh bodyguards assassinated India’s Prime Minister in retribution. This was followed by pogroms against Sikhs all over India\, and a decade of violence and repression in Punjab. The perpetrators of state violence have not been brought to justice\, and the events of 1984 and after continue to cast a shadow on the people of the region. Prof. Rahuldeep Singh Gill of California Lutheran University (CLU) will speak about this history\, and how to move forward positively\, but without forgetting the past\, especially in the context of the Sikh diaspora in the US. Prof. Gill is Director of the Center for Equality and Justice at CLU.\nThe talk will be followed by an interactive discussion\, moderated by Prof. Nirvikar Singh\, Sarbjit Singh Aurora Chair of Sikh and Punjabi Studies at UCSC. Prof. Singh was visiting India in 1984 and experienced some of the events described above. All students\, faculty and community members are invited. Lunch will be provided\, and RSVPs are requested by October 15 at 1 pm. Please RSVP by email to Evin Guy\, Institute for Humanities Research\, ecguy@ucsc.edu. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCSC Sikh Student Association and the Sarbjit Singh Aurora Chair of Sikh and Punjabi Studies. \n[rev_slider sikhbeyondtrauma]

SUMMARY:Rachel Deblinger: "Making Memories/Motifs: Holocaust Memory & the Unexpected Inspiration of Digital Humanities"
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Digital Humanities Research Cluster and the University Library for a series of interactive lectures focused on “Digital Humanities & Cultural Heritage.” This inaugural speaker series will highlight digital projects from across the humanities and enable lively discussion about the role of the digital in preserving\, building\, and making accessible cultural materials from around the world. \nNo digital skills required.

SUMMARY:Annual Don Rothman Endowed Award in First-Year Writing
DESCRIPTION:Don Rothman began teaching undergraduate writing classes at UC Santa Cruz in 1973. \nAfter more than three decades of guiding teachers and teaching college students\, the senior lecturer emeritus in writing–and recipient of the 2002 Distinguished Teaching Award from the UCSC Center for Teaching Excellence–has established an endowment to honor exceptional freshman students and their writing teachers. \n“The ‘First Year Writing Award’ seeks to celebrate excellence in writing among first-year UCSC students\, and to give them the chance to honor instructors who contributed to their growth as writers\,” said Rothman. \n“It’s likely that UCSC would not be the institution that it is now if its founders hadn’t intuited the importance of identifying\, challenging\, and respecting our beginning students’ strengths as thinkers and writers.” \nThe first awards were presented at an October ceremony which honored seven students and their instructors. \nMolly Carpenter received the top prize and had nothing but praise for her teacher\, writing lecturer Jeff Arnett. \n“Although I’ve always loved to write\, I don’t think I knew how to truly write thoughtfully until I took Jeff’s class\,” said Carpenter. “Jeff consistently pushed me to be the very best writer I could be.” \n“I just want to express how lucky I am to attend a university that encourages original and creative thought through writing\, regardless of whether you’re an engineering or art major\,” she added. \nThe UCSC Writing Program serves approximately 3\,000 students each year\, taking into account core classes. More than 100 classes are offered annually. \nWriting Program chair James Wilson noted Rothman’s visionary impact over the years\, citing his deep commitment to the writing process\, and his ability to bring out the best in both teachers and students. \n“Through his years of serving as director of the Central California Writing Project\, Don has been a strong advocate for outreach in the wider community\, working in schools at all levels from K-12\, especially in Santa Cruz County\,” said Wilson. \nWilson added that Rothman has also been a “deliberate\, persistent\, and optimistic” spokesperson for the Writing Program across the campus\, speaking with faculty across the divisions about the importance of writing and emphasizing the value of undergraduate education–particularly at a research university. \n“Part of Don’s message is to remind the university that the effective teaching of writing to undergraduate students is essential to the mission of a research university\,” said Wilson.

SUMMARY:Azar Nafisi: "The Republic of Imagination"
DESCRIPTION:The bestselling author of Reading Lolita in Tehran will discuss and sign copies of her new book\, The Republic of Imagination: America in Three Books—a hymn to the power of fiction to change lives. \nTen years ago\, Azar Nafisi electrified readers with her million-copy bestseller\, Reading Lolita in Tehran\, which told the story of how\, against the backdrop of morality squads and executions\, she taught The Great Gatsby and other classics to her eager students in Iran. In this exhilarating follow-up\, Nafisi has written the book her fans have been waiting for: an impassioned\, beguiling\, and utterly original tribute to the vital importance of fiction in a democratic society. \nTaking her cue from a challenge thrown to her in Seattle\, where a skeptical reader told her that Americans don’t care about books the way they did back in Iran\, she energetically responds to those who say fiction has nothing to teach us. Blending memoir and polemic with close readings of her favorite American novels—The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\, Babbitt\, and The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter\, among others—she invites us to join her as citizens of her “Republic of Imagination\,” a country where the villains are conformity and orthodoxy and the only passport to entry is a free mind and a willingness to dream. \n“Nafisi makes a passionate argument for returning to key American novels in order to foster creativity and engagement.” —Kirkus Reviews \nThis offsite ticketed event will take place at Peace United Church. Purchase tickets below or in-person at Bookshop Santa Cruz. \n“We are all citizens of Azar Nafisi’s Republic of Imagination. Without imagination there are no dreams\, without dreams there is no art\, and without art there is nothing. Her words are essential.” —Marjane Satrapi \nTICKETS: $31.50\, includes two tickets to the event and one copy of The Republic of Imagination. This event will take place at Peace United Church. Open seating.\n  \nTickets & Information\n \n  \nEvent presented by Bookshop Santa Cruz\, in partnership with the Institute for Humanities Research.\n

SUMMARY:Bryan Donaldson: "Information structure and word order in medieval Occitan"
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I draw on elements of discourse analysis and information structure–specifically topic-marking–to address a long-standing problem in the syntax of Old Occitan\, a medieval Romance language spoken in what is now the south of France. In Old Occitan\, the position of object and adverbial clitic (weak\, atonic) pronouns remains incompletely understood (Wanner 2010). I analyze clitic position specifically in affirmative main declarative sentences that contain overt preverbal subjects. In this context\, clitics are either preverbal\, as in (1)\, or post verbal\, as in (2)\, with no apparent semantic distinction.\n  \n(1) E.N Constantis s’en anet.\nand.Sir Constantine himself.from-there went\n‘And Sir Constantine left.’ (Razo of 80\,20 & 80\,32 §8; Boutière 1964: 92) \n(2) E.N Guilhem anet. s’en.\nand.Sir Guillaume went himself.from-there\n‘And Sir Guillaume left.’ (Razo of 208\,1\, §34; Boutière 1964: 325)\n  \nPrevious analyses have concluded that this variation is random (Mériz 1978) or du to regional or dialectal variation (Hinzelin 2007). Neither approach satisfactorily addresses the underlying grammar or the principles underlying the distribution of the variants appears. The present analysis draws on the discourse-functional notion of topic (e.g.\, Reinhart 1981) as well as theoretical claims about the clausal left periphery in medieval Romance (Benincà 2006). I report empirical data from the complete troubadour biographies (vidas and razos; 13th-14th centuries) and the vida of Saint Douceline (early 14th century). Results from 470 subject-verb declaratives establish that the subject in (2) is left-dislocated\, albeit covertly so. I argue that (2) is one of several instantiations of subject left-dislocation in Old Occitan and that it is both functionally and formally distinct from (1). More precisely\, (1) signals topic continuity\, whereas (2) is a shifting topic.\n  \nBryan Donaldson is Assistant Professor of Languages and French Applied Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Veterans History Project
DESCRIPTION:The Santa Cruz Public Libraries invites you to contribute to the national archive. Were you a veteran? Your story matters. \nWhat is the Veterans History Project? \nThe United States Congress created the Veterans History Project (VHP) in 2000 as part of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. VHP’s mission is to collect\, preserve\, and make accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war. Santa Cruz Public Libraries is participating in this project\, along with many public libraries across the country. \nWhat can you contribute? \nSanta Cruz Public Libraries is making equipment and technical expertise available to help you tell your story. If you’re a US Veteran\, from any conflict\, consider documenting your story with the library. Alternatively if you are a civilian who actively supported the war effort\, such as a war industry worker\, flight instructor\, medical volunteer\, or USO worker\, consider being interviewed. You’ll be contributing to both the national archive and your local community. We’ll record a conversation about your military experiences for 30 minutes or more. We’ll provide the interviewing space\, supplies and equipment. There is no charge for this service. We’ll provide you with a copy of your interview and we will submit the original and any accompanying materials to the VHP project at the Library of Congress. With your permission\, a copy of your materials will also remain in the Santa Cruz Public Libraries local collection. \nYou may contribute a video or audio interview 30 minutes or longer (Santa Cruz Public Libraries can help you create this). Additional contributions are optional and may include: 10 or more original photographs • Two-dimensional artwork • Letters • Official military documents • 20 pages or more of original unpublished memoirs\, diaries or journals. \nAfter you receive a copy\, your original interview and all donated items (pictures\, letters etc.) will be submitted on your behalf to the Library of Congress Veterans History Project. You maintain the copyright and your contributions will be housed in a preservation environment within the permanent collections of the Library of Congress. Within a six-month processing period\, all donated materials are available to researchers\, scholars\, students\, Congress\, authors\, filmmakers\, and anyone else visiting the Library or viewing the collections online. \n  \nHow Do I Get Started? \nIf you are interested in participating\, contact our project coordinator directly: Jennifer Cockerill at 831-427-7700 ext 7668 or email at cockerillj@santacruzpl.org.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Hillman: “Sworn to Protect:  Sexual Assault in the Military”
DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz / UC Hastings Social Justice Speaker Series presents Elizabeth Hillman\n“Sworn to Protect: Sexual Assault in the Military” \nFew legal issues have riveted public attention more than sexual assault in the military. This presentation will address the controversies that have erupted over a problem that is often misunderstood and rarely reported. Should commanders control the decision to prosecute? Should each branch of service retain its own investigators\, prosecutors\, defense counsel\, and appellate court? What is the impact of providing legal counsel to victims? How should we evaluate legal outcomes? \nThis talk will examine this unique challenge to the nature of the American military justice system; the effect of gender dynamics and demographics; and best practices and prospects for improving the response systems to sexual assault in civilian and military arenas. Join the conversation at #UCsjss \nOPEN TO THE PUBLIC\nPlease register by visiting: http://3plus3.ucsc.edu/sjss\n$5 ticket includes parking*\nThere are a limited number of free tickets available to UCSC Students. These UCSC student tickets can be picked up in person at the UCSC Ticket Office\, which is located at the Theater Arts Center. \n1 unit of MCLE credit\, Elimination of Bias in the Legal Profession\, will be provided. \nAbout Dean Elizabeth Hillman:\nDean Hillman serves on the Response Systems Panel (RSP)\, an independent panel authorized by Congress in 2013 to study and make recommendations regarding the investigation\, prosecution\, and adjudication of military sexual assault\, and is the chair of an RSP subcommittee asked to compare civilian and military systems of responding to adult sexual assault. She is also a director of the National Institute of Military Justice\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting fairness in\, and public understanding of\, military justice worldwide\, and co-legal director of the Palm Center\, a public policy research institute that played a key role in ending the “don’t ask/don’t tell” policy of discriminating against gay men and lesbians in the U.S. armed forces. \nAbout the Social Justice Speaker Series:\nThe UC Hastings Social Justice Speaker Series is a product of the collaboration between UC Hastings College of the Law and UC Santa Cruz. Both campuses launched a joint “3+3 BA/JD” program in 2014. The program\, the first of its kind in the University of California system\, will enable UC Santa Cruz students to earn a bachelor’s degree and law degree in six years instead of the usual seven. \nEvent Sponsors:\nThis event is co-sponsored by: UC Santa Cruz Legal Studies Program\, Division of Social Sciences\, Institute for Humanities Research\, Politics Department\, Feminist Studies Department\, Philosophy Department\, UC Hastings College of the Law\, Santa Cruz County Bar Association\, Women Lawyers of Santa Cruz County\, Santa Cruz County Trial Lawyers Association\, Monarch Services\, City of Santa Cruz Commission for Prevention of Violence Against Women\, Women’s Commission of Santa Cruz County\, The Diversity Center. \n* Ticket price includes complimentary parking at the Performing Arts Parking Lot adjacent to the Music Recital Hall.

SUMMARY:Bodies of Knowledge in the Japanese Empire
DESCRIPTION:Gender studies\, history of science\, and Japanese studies intertwine in “Bodies of Knowledge in the Japanese Empire\,” a panel featuring Susan Burns (University of Chicago) and Mark Driscoll (University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill). Susan Burns examines gendered conceptions of mental and physical health that drove the development of “alternative” therapies to orthodox biomedicine. Mark Driscoll explores a critique of Euro-American sciences of the body raised in early twentieth-century Japanese sexology. The speakers reveal how re-conceptualization of human bodies as objects of modern scientific knowledge was inflected by the uneasy space of imperial Japan. \nAgenda: \n• Introduction by Noriko Aso\n• Susan Burns presentation\n• Mark Driscoll presentation\n• Comments by Stephanie Montgomery\n• General discussion followed by buffet lunch (1-2pm) \nSusan L. Burns is Associate Professor of Japanese History and East Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago. She is the author of Before the Nation: Kokugaku and the Imagining of Community in Early Modern Japan (Duke\, 2003) and the co-editor of Gender and Law in the Japanese Imperium (University of Hawaii Press\, 2013). She is currently completing two monograph projects: one examines the history of leprosy in Japan; the other\, the history of psychiatry in Japan. \nMark Driscoll is Associate Professor of Japanese and International Studies at University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill. He is the author of Absolute Erotic\, Absolute Grotesque: the Living\, Dead\, and Undead in Japan’s Imperialism\, 1895-1945 (Duke\, 2010) and Kannani and Document of Flames: 2 Japanese Colonial Novels (Duke\, 2005). \nSponsored by: UC President’s Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies and the Institute for Humanities Research. \n\n  \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Michael Ashley: "Mukurtu CMS: Differential Access for the Ethical Stewardship of Cultural and Digital Heritage"
DESCRIPTION:Try and recall a family secret\, or a cherished memory shared between you and a parent or sibling. Now imagine holding on to that memory so that it could be shared with your descendants in 20 years\, or 200. How would you preserve it\, in what form? Who has access to it now\, and how will that memory be held and transferred from generation to generation? From a single moment to the wider experiences of communities\, oral histories and endangered languages\, the intimate interchanges that define codes and protocols for sharing do not easily translate to the digital exchange of the world wide web. In this discussion\, we will look at where we’re failing and succeeding to connect with indigenous priorities for differential access to cultural content\, and what this means for all of us in developing informed exchanges for the digital humanities. We’ll explore Mukurtu CMS\, a free and open source platform designed specifically to address some of these challenges and how community based agile software development can help to humanize the Internet. \nMichael Ashley\, CEO\, Center for Digital Archaeology & Director of Development\, Murkurtu CMS. Dr. Michael Ashley is Chief Executive Officer at the Center for Digital Archaeology (CoDA)\, a non-profit company affiliated with UC Berkeley that creates and leverages data management technologies for the preservation and sharing of cultural heritage. He is developing Codifi\, an innovative mobile solution for turning buried content into discoverable\, data-driven stories. Michael is the Director of Development of Mukurtu CMS\, an open source content management solution for Indigenous communities to share\, license and curate their digital heritage. He received his Ph.D. at UC Berkeley in 2004\, where he went on as faculty and staff to co-found several initiatives\, including the award winning Open Knowledge and the Public Interest (OKAPI)\, and the Media Vault Program\, a digital preservation and access framework for the university’s museums and archives. An archaeological photographer by training\, Michael was the Media Team lead for the Çatalhöyük Research Project for 7 years. \n  \n\n  \nPlease join the IHR Digital Humanities Research Cluster and the University Library for a series of interactive lectures focused on “Digital Humanities & Cultural Heritage.” This inaugural speaker series will highlight digital projects from across the humanities and enable lively discussion about the role of the digital in preserving\, building\, and making accessible cultural materials from around the world. \nNo digital skills required.

SUMMARY:Living Writers Series: Patrick Graybill\, Interpreter Aaron Brace
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Graybill is a pioneer in ASL performance through his early work with the National Theater of the Deaf. He is a prolific translator of English to ASL\, and a teacher of other poets\, having taught for many years at the National Technological Institute of the Deaf in Rochester\, New York (one of two American universities\, along with Gallaudet\, where sign is the official language). Graybill’s work is an important influence on later generations of ASL poets. \nAaron Brace has been interpreting for over 30 years\, primarily as a community and conference interpreter and also for six years as a designated interpreter for a university professor. He credits Patrick Graybill\, Ted Supalla\, and the Deaf communities of Rochester\, NY and the San Francisco Bay Area for making him the interpreter he is today. While it’s debatable whether he deserves his reputation\, it’s absolutely true that he hasn’t always. \nFall 2014 Living Writers Series: \nOctober 9: Ariel Gore \nOctober 16: Kelly Link\, Kim Stanley Robinson\, Karen Joy Fowler \nOctober 23: Andrew Lam\, Kate Gale \nOctober 30: Tobias Wolff \nNovember 6: Helene Wecker \nNovember 13: ASL Performer Patrick Graybill\, Interpreter Aaron Brace \nNovember 20: Kelly Link\, Kim Stanley Robinson\, Karen Joy Fowler \nDecember 4: Katie Crouch \nDecember 11: Student Reading \n  \nAll events are free and open to the public from 4:00-5:45pm in Humanities Lecture Hall 206.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Eric Schwitzgebel: "The Moral Behavior of Ethics Professors"
DESCRIPTION:Do professional ethicists behave any morally better than do non-ethicists of similar social background? If not\, do they at least show greater consistency between their normative attitudes and their outward behavior? Despite a long philosophical tradition associating philosophical reflection with improved moral behavior\, these questions have never been empirically examined. I describe four possible models of the relationship between philosophical moral reflection and real-world moral behavior (boosterism\, epiphenomenalism\, rationalization\, and inert discovery). I then present convergent evidence from studies of about a dozen different types of moral behavior. The results suggest that ethicists behave no morally better on average or any more consistently with their espoused values\, compared to other groups of professors. Using a combination of direct observation and self-report measures\, I examine: the misappropriation of library books\, voting in public elections\, courtesy at professional meetings\, responsiveness to student emails\, charitable donation\, organ and blood donation\, staying in touch with one’s mother\, vegetarianism\, honesty in responses to surveys\, nonpayment of conference registration fees\, Nazi party membership in the 1930s\, and peer evaluation of overall moral behavior. The overall results will be compared with the predictions of the four models. \nEric Schwitzgebel is a Professor of Philosophy at UC Riverside. He has written extensively on consciousness\, self-knowledge\, attitudes\, and moral psychology. His most recent book is Perplexities of Consciousness. He blogs at The Splintered Mind. \n  \n\n  \nThe campus community and interested public are welcome at all Philosophy Department sponsored colloquia\, conferences and workshops. \nSpring 2015 \n\nShelley Wilcox\, San Francisco State\n\nWinter 2015 \n\nRebecca Kukla\, Georgetown\nFelipe De Brigard\, Duke\n\nFall 2014 \n\nEric Schwitzgebel\, UC Riverside: The Moral Behavior of Ethics Professors\n\nMore info at: http://philosophy.ucsc.edu/news-events/colloquia-conferences/index.html

SUMMARY:Pritam Singh: "Spatial Shift and Ecological Crisis: An Eco-Socialist Perspective”
DESCRIPTION:A spatial shift has been taking place in global capitalism in the last few decades\, in the form of declining importance of the older advanced capitalism and the rising importance of “emerging economies.” The most dramatic representation of this shift is that China has recently overtaken US as the largest economy in the world. For the first time\, capitalism is expanding into countries with very large populations such as China\, India and Indonesia. The rising consumption in these economies is sharpening the global ecological crisis. \nPritam Singh has a doctorate in economics from University of Oxford and is currently a Professor of economics at Oxford Brookes University\, Oxford. He focuses on the sustainability implications of global capitalism\, and Indian capitalism with emphasis on decentralization and human rights. His two most recent books are Federalism\, Nationalism and Development: India and the Punjab Economy\, and Economy\, Culture and Human Rights: Turbulence in Punjab\, India and Beyond. \nThis talk is part of the series “What is To Be Done? Organizational Forms and Political Futures\,” organized by:\nThe Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Research Cluster and the Institute for Humanities Research\, with the cosponsorship of the Literature\, Sociology\, Anthropology\, and Politics Departments; Stevenson\, Cowell\, and Porter Colleges; and the Vice Chancellor for Research. \nPoster image: photo via fortes.com \n\n  \nPODCAST:  \n \nEVENT PHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Karen Armstrong: "Fields of Blood: Religion and the History of Violence"
DESCRIPTION:The renowned author of A History of God will discuss and sign copies of her new book\, Fields of Blood—a sweeping exploration of religion and the history of human violence. \nFor the first time\, religious self-identification is on the decline in America. Some analysts have cited as cause a post-9/11 perception: that faith in general is a source of aggression\, intolerance\, and divisiveness—something bad for society. But how accurate is that view?

SUMMARY:Lucas McGranahan: "Darwinism and Pragmatism: William James on Evolution and Self-Transformation"
DESCRIPTION:Lucas McGranahan: “Darwinism and Pragmatism: William James on Evolution and Self-Transformation” \nThursday November 20\, 2:00 – 3:45 pm\nCrown 208\, UC Santa Cruz \nAbstract\nWilliam James presages twentieth-century Neo-Darwinism in his physiological approach to\nmental life\, his early repudiation of the inheritance of acquired characteristics\, and his\ncreative extension of the concepts of variation and selection to a variety of non-biological\ndomains. Indeed\, James was the first ‘double-barreled’ Darwinian psychologist in that he\nwas the first to explain individual learning and phylogenetic mental evolution in terms of\nanalogous processes of variation and selection. However\, the chief lessons of Darwinism\nfor James were not the materialism\, mechanism\, or reductionism of later Neo-Darwinism\,\nbut rather (1) the idea that both science and philosophy are open-ended processes of\nfallible\, inductive guesswork\, and (2) the idea of consciousness as an evolved and\nefficacious ‘fighter for ends.’ In short\, Darwinism for James signals a world that is both\ntheoretically and actually ‘in the making\,’ with the individual as an active participant. \nBio\nLucas McGranahan is an independent scholar and nonprofit professional living in Oakland\,\nCalifornia. He holds a B.A. in Philosophy and English from the University of Wisconsin\,\nMadison\, and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of California\, Santa Cruz. In\n2011 he won the Douglas Greenlee Prize for best paper by an early-career scholar from\nthe Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy\, and he is the recipient of\nmultiple teaching honors from the University of California\, Santa Cruz. He has published\non evolutionary theory and pragmatism in The Pluralist.

SUMMARY:Diaspora and Memory -- Sikhs and 1984
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years ago saw the culmination of increasing social conflict in Punjab\, a Sikh-majority state in India. In 1984\, the government of India launched a military operation on the Sikhs’ central religious site\, aimed at militants\, but also ensnaring innocent pilgrims. Later that year\, Sikh bodyguards assassinated India’s Prime Minister in retribution\, immediately followed by pogroms against Sikhs all over India\, and subsequently a decade of violence and repression in Punjab. The perpetrators of state violence have not been brought to justice\, and the events of 1984 and after continue to cast a shadow on Sikhs across the globe. \nProf. Gurinder Singh Mann\, Kundan Kaur Kapany Chair in Sikh Studies at UC Santa Barbara and Prof. Pashaura Singh\, Dr. Jasbir Singh Saini Chair in Sikh and Punjabi Studies at UC Riverside\, will be panelists sharing their thoughts on\, and experiences of these events\, as well as the continuing implications for the global Sikh community. The panel and discussion will be moderated by Prof. Nirvikar Singh\, Sarbjit Singh Aurora Chair of Sikh and Punjabi Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \nAll students\, faculty and community members are invited. Lunch will be provided\, and RSVPs are requested by November 25th at 1 pm. Please RSVP by email to Evin Guy\, Institute for Humanities Research\, ecguy@ucsc.edu. \nPanel discussion presented by the Sarbjit Singh Aurora Endowed Chair in Sikh and Punjabi Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \n\nImage credit: “1984: The Storming of the Golden Temple”\, 1998\, Amrit and Rabindra K.D.Kaur Singh. \nLondon born twin sisters Amrit and Rabindra are contemporary British artists of International standing whose award winning paintings have been acknowledged as constituting a unique genre in British Art and for initiating a new movement in the revival of the Indian miniature tradition within modern art practice. \n\nEVENT VIDEO: \n \nEVENT PHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Thor Sawin and Jason Martel: "Fostering foreign language learners’ speaking through ongoing feedback"
DESCRIPTION:It is now well accepted in foreign language pedagogy that assessment is not solely an end-­‐of-­‐unit activity. Rather\, it is important for teachers to monitor learners’ language development using a variety of techniques throughout the course of a unit of study. Among the many skills to be assessed in foreign language classrooms\, speaking presents unique challenges. First\, because spoken language samples immediately disappear\, it is harder for teachers to give meaningful feedback that can be immediately applied. Second\, speaking tends to be assessed formally and only a few times in a term\, resulting in unhelpful\, institutionally-­‐required grades that neither prompt learners to produce more language based on feedback nor motivate them by recognizing the progress they have made. With these considerations in mind\, our talk will: \n• Define speaking/oral proficiency \n• Distinguish between formative and summative assessment \n• Discuss the use of speaking portfolios as a motivational and developmental strategy \n• Discuss strategies for assessing speaking throughout and at the end of a unit of study\, in ways that learners are able to keep track of and take ownership over\n  \nLight refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Franco "Bifo" Berardi: "Social Morphogenesis: The Historical Transition from Revolution to Disentanglement"
DESCRIPTION:The subject of this lecture comes from the recent experience of the Occupy movement against financial capitalism. It investigates the political and conceptual limits of these movements\, and their inability to put an end to the financial aggression. Focusing on the main actors of the Occupy process – the precarious cognitive workers\, embodying the Marx’s concept of “general intellect” – the lecture will seek to grasp the possibilities that this social force has brought about. \nFranco “Bifo” Berardi is an Italian political theorist and activist. He is the founder of the legendary magazine A/traverso (1975-1981) and was part of the staff of Radio Alice\, the first free radio station in Italy (1976-1978). Involved in the political movement of Autonomia in Italy during the 1970s\, he fled to Paris where he worked with Felix Guattari in the field of schizoanalysis. During the 1980s he contributed to the magazines Semiotext(e) (New York)\, Chimerees (Paris)\, Metropoli (Rome) and Musica 80 (Milan). In the 1990′s he published Mutazione e Ciberpunk (Genoa\, 1993)\, Cibernauti (Rome\, 1994) and was the co-founder of the e-zine rekombinant.org. In the last decade he has published\, among others: The Uprising: On Poetry and Finance (Semiotext(e)\, 2012)\, Félix (Palgrave McMillan\, 2008) and The Soul at Work (Semiotext(e)\, 2010). His forthcoming book And – Phenomenology of the End will be published by n-1 Publications at the end of 2014. \nThis talk is part of the series “What Is to Be Done? Organizational Forms and Political Futures\,” organized by the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Research Cluster and the Institute for Humanities Research\, with the co-sponsorship of the Literature\, Sociology\, Anthropology\, and Politics Departments; Stevenson\, Cowell\, and Porter Colleges; and the Vice Chancellor for Research. \n\n  \nPODCAST: \n \n  \nPHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Adam Albright: "Testing phonological biases with Artificial Grammar learning experiments"
DESCRIPTION:As with most linguistic input\, the data that children receive about phonological patterns is rife with ambiguity. For example\, children hearing voicing alternations in German ([diːp] ~ [diːbə] ‘thief-sg./pl.’\, [maʊs] ~ [mɔɪzɐ] ‘mouse-sg./pl.’) receive no evidence as to whether a single final devoicing process affects all word-final obstruents\, or just the subset of obstruents that German happens to have\, or whether separate processes affect different subsets of segments. Thus\, the data radically underdetermines the analysis (poverty of the stimulus)\, and learners must employ prior biases in order to favor one analysis over another. By observing how speakers extend alternations to novel words\, strings\, and segments\, it is possible to gain insight into these biases—e.g.\, a preference for simpler rules may lead them to generalize devoicing to as broad a class of segments as possible\, while a preference for typologically common rules favor generalization of devoicing to other obstruents\, but not to sonorants.  In this talk\, I present experimental evidence test three types of bias: (1) a bias against alternations\, favoring uniform paradigms (McCarthy 1998); (2) a bias in favor of alternations that target broader classes of segments (Peperkamp et al. 2006); (3) a substantive bias against perceptually salient alternations (Steriade 2001). \nLearners’ biases were probed using Artificial Grammar experiments\, in which adult English speakers were taught singular~plural pairs in a “Martian language”\, and were then asked to produce or rate plural forms. In all of the languages reported here\, obstruent-final stems exhibited voicing or continuancy alternations (dap~dabi\, brup~brufi). A premise of learning biases is that the less data learners have received\, the more their behavior will reflect prior biases. In the first set of experiments\, we manipulated the amount of data that learners received by varying the frequency of alternations across different segments\, in order to test how generalization changes with increasing amounts of data. For example\, if learners are biased to expect non-alternation\, we expect fewer alternating responses for languages with less data about obstruents\, and for rarer segments within a language. If learners expect alternations to apply to broad classes of segments\, we expect processes affecting attested segments to be generalized to unattested or rarer segments. Finally\, if learners are biased to expect certain alternations (e.g.\, voicing) over others (e.g.\, continuancy)\, we expect participants to generalize preferred alternations at higher rates than dispreferred alternations.    In a second set of experiments\, we independently manipulated the evidence that learners received for alternation and also non-alternation\, in order to test whether the preference for non-alternation is purely a prior bias (OO-Faith » Markedness)\, or whether it is learned on the basis of data from non-alternating paradigms.   The results show that increasing the number of training items with alternating paradigms significantly increases the probability of choosing alternations in the test phase\, while increasing the number of items with non-alternating paradigms does not increase the probability of selecting a uniform paradigm.  Thus\, the results are generally support a prior bias for uniform paradigms. \nThese results can be modeled accurately using a maximum entropy (maxent) grammar of weighted constraints. Three properties of maxent models make them well suited to modeling the observed biases. First\, the set of prior/innate constraints is a parameter of the model\, and by including correspondence (faithfulness) constraints in the grammar\, it is possible to model an expectation for non-alternation.  By specifying prior distributions over constraint weights\, we can model an initial bias to obey certain constraints (such as faithfulness) at the expense of others.  Finally\, it is possible to specific different distributions for different constraints\, reflecting the fact that learners demote some constraints more readily than others. This allows us to model the fact that participants favor alternations that target broad classes of segments\, and favor certain alternations over others. \n(Joint work with Youngah Do\, Georgetown University)\n  \nAbout eight times each year the department hosts colloquium talks by distinguished faculty from around the world.\n \nUpcoming colloquia: \nWINTER 2015\nJanuary 16th\nClaire Halpert\, University of Minnesota \nJanuary 23rd\nValentine Hacquard\, Maryland \nFebruary 6th\nRachel Walker\, USC \nmid-March: date TBA\nLASC: Linguistics at Santa Cruz Conference \nSPRING 2015\nApril 10th\nDaniel Lassiter\, Stanford \nApril 17th\nKeith Johnson\, UC Berkeley \nMay 1st\nGrant Goodall\, UC San Diego \nMay/June: date TBA\nLURC: Linguistics Undergraduate Research Conference

SUMMARY:Music of The Waves: A Conversation with Lawrence Weschler and William Finnegan Moderated by Harry Berger Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Lawrence Weschler and William Finnegan both graduated from Cowell College\, UCSC\, in 1974. Both worked at The New Yorker\, where Finnegan still works. Both studied here at UCSC with Harry Berger. And all three – Weschler\, Finnegan\, and Berger – are public intellectuals known for their humor and incisiveness and also for the zany connections they like to make. \nIn this symposium the three literary giants reflect on writing\, music\, time\, and surfing. Weschler focuses on the temporality of both writing and music. The writer and the musician structure time much as the architect\, the painter\, and the sculptor structure spaces. Finnegan sees timing as crucial to his writing and to his passion for surfing\, where the consequences of poor timing can be much more disastrous than in writing. Berger\, who is still prolific into his ninth decade\, will comment briefly on the ideas presented by Weschler and Finnegan; and then the gates will be thrust open for discussion among all in the room. \nFor more information\, please contact Katie Linder\, Cowell Events and Outreach Coordinator at klinder@ucsc.edu or call Emily Sloan-Pace\, Cowell’s College Academic Programs Coordinator at cwprvsta@ucsc.edu. \nPlease note that parking can pose a challenge\, but we hope the Cowell and Stevenson lots will be relatively open. Those lots include a parking station.

SUMMARY:Kalindi Vora: “Life Support: Legacies of Imperial Science and Surrogate Technologies of Racialized Reproduction”
DESCRIPTION:Transnational commercial surrogacy brings together India’s colonial history and its economic development through outsourcing and globalization with instrumentalized notions of the reproductive body. Addressing the intertwined historical relationships and contemporary disparities in medical and legal protections to bear upon reections on recent innovations in articial uterine environments\, this talk suggests that the metaphors we use to structure our understanding of bodies and body parts impact how we imagine appropriate roles for people and their bodies in ways that are still deeply entangled with imperial histories of science. The techno-fantasy of the isolated womb is part of the originating conditions for the structure and discourse of Indian surrogacy as “wombs for rent\,” and the notion of the disembodied uterus that has arisen in scientic and medical practice allows for alienating logic of the “gestational carrier” as a functional role in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) practices. Given these ongoing histories and metaphors\, it is important to consider the unequal positions of participants in transnational fertility exchanges when evaluating recent articulations of the relationship between governance\, medicine\, and transnational ART markets in the debates about draft ART legislation in India. \nKalindi Vora is Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies and aliate faculty of the Critical Gender and Science Studies Programs at UC San Diego. Her book\, Life Support: Biocapital and the New History of Outsourced Labor (University of Minnesota Press\, 2015)\, examines domestic work\, customer care\, the commodication of human organs\, gestational surrogacy and knowledge work as representing a global economy of vitality that relies on aective and biological labor of feminized workers. Her research and publications have focused on gendered labor\, globalization\, South Asian area and diaspora studies\, postcolonial studies\, and feminist theory.\n  \nUpcoming Feminist Science Studies Colloquia \nAnn Fink\, New York University\n“Feminist Ethics and the Neurobiology of Memory”\nJanuary 13\, 5:00 – 6:30pm\, Humanities 1 Room 210 \nSara Giordano\, San Diego State University\n“Tinkering with Science: IRB\, DIY and Feminist Science Ethics”\nJanuary 20\, 5:00 – 6:30pm\, Humanities 1 Room 210 \nKristina Lyons\, University of California of Santa Cruz\n“Decomposition as Life Politics: Soils\, Shared Bodies\, and Stamina Under the Gun of the U.S.-Colombia War on Drugs”\nJanuary 27\, 5:00 – 6:30pm\, Humanities 1 Room 210

SUMMARY:Eric Schwitzgebel: "The Moral Behavior of Ethics Professors"
DESCRIPTION:Do professional ethicists behave any morally better than do non-ethicists of similar social background? If not\, do they at least show greater consistency between their normative attitudes and their outward behavior? Despite a long philosophical tradition associating philosophical reflection with improved moral behavior\, these questions have never been empirically examined. I describe four possible models of the relationship between philosophical moral reflection and real-world moral behavior (boosterism\, epiphenomenalism\, rationalization\, and inert discovery). I then present convergent evidence from studies of about a dozen different types of moral behavior. The results suggest that ethicists behave no morally better on average or any more consistently with their espoused values\, compared to other groups of professors. Using a combination of direct observation and self-report measures\, I examine: the misappropriation of library books\, voting in public elections\, courtesy at professional meetings\, responsiveness to student emails\, charitable donation\, organ and blood donation\, staying in touch with one’s mother\, vegetarianism\, honesty in responses to surveys\, nonpayment of conference registration fees\, Nazi party membership in the 1930s\, and peer evaluation of overall moral behavior. The overall results will be compared with the predictions of the four models. \nEric Schwitzgebel is a Professor of Philosophy at UC Riverside. He has written extensively on consciousness\, self-knowledge\, attitudes\, and moral psychology. His most recent book is Perplexities of Consciousness. He blogs at The Splintered Mind.
