SUMMARY:Questions That Matter:"Freedom and Race"
DESCRIPTION:America has famously been called “the land of the free\,” and yet when the “Star Spangled Banner” was written\, people of African descent were enslaved within its borders\, including by the song’s own author\, Francis Scott Key. Today\, the relationship between freedom and race continues to vex the United States and the rest of the world. Join us for a frank and thoughtful discussion of this question that matters. \nFeaturing: \nJennifer González is a Professor of History of Art and Visual Culture at UCSC. She writes about contemporary art with an emphasis on installation art\, digital art and activist art. She is interested in understanding the strategic use of space (exhibition space\, public space\, virtual space) by contemporary artists and by cultural institutions such as museums. More specifically\, she has focused on the representation of the human body and its relation to discourses of race and gender. \nTyler Stovall is a Distinguished Professor of History and Dean of Humanities at UCSC\, as well as the current President of the American Historical Association. His work centers on questions of race and class\, blackness\, postcolonial history\, and transnational history as applied to modern and twentieth century France\, and covers a wide range of topics from the Paris suburbs to black American expatriates in France to the French Caribbean. \nModerated by: \nNathaniel Deutsch \nDirector of The Humanities Institute \n \nQuestions that Matter “Freedom and Race” from IHR on Vimeo. \n  \n  \nTUESDAY\, JANUARY 30\, 2018 \nKuumbwa Jazz Center – Directions and Parking Details  \n$15 Ticket \n6pm – Wine and hors d’oeuvres reception \n7pm – Program \nIf you have disability-related needs\, please contact The Humanities Institute at thi@ucsc.edu or call 831-459-1274. \nBuy Tickets \n  \nQuestions That Matter: A Series of Public Dialogues in Santa Cruz\nA public humanities series developed by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz and the community of Santa Cruz – bringing together two or more UC Santa Cruz scholars with community residents and students to explore questions that matter to all of us. The series is a part of a strategic initiative of the Institute to champion the role and value of the humanities in contemporary life. At the University of California Santa Cruz\, we understand that the humanities are a crucial element of any first-rate liberal arts education. Indeed\, what distinguishes the best universities in the United States is the fact that the humanities are an integral part of their core curriculum\, along with the arts and sciences. The series is designed as a lecture and conversation\, with plenty of time built in for participant questions and answers. We invite you to join us on January 30\, 2018 at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center for “Freedom and Race.”

SUMMARY:Questions That Matter: "Anger in Politics: From the Bard to the Donald"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Institute for Humanities Research and Shakespeare Workshop\nWhat place does anger have in public life? Should we welcome the expression of anger in our elections and political deliberations\, or does the common good depend on the existence of political institutions and processes from which anger and other strong emotions are excluded? Has the failure of those institutions and processes prompted much of the acrimony\, hostility\, and rage that we have witnessed (or felt)? What does the theater understand about such questions that politics does not understand? On the eve of an historic election\, join UC Santa Cruz faculty and the Institute for Humanities Research for a conversation about anger and politics\, from Shakespeare to Donald Trump. Presented in partnership with Shakespeare Workshop. \n  \nQuestions That Matter: “Anger in Politics: From the Bard to the Donald” from IHR on Vimeo. \nEVENT PHOTOS: by Crystal Birns\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nTICKETS\n \nQuestions That Matter: A Series of Public Dialogues in Santa Cruz\nThis series brings together UC Santa Cruz scholars with community members to explore questions that matter to all of us.

SUMMARY:Questions that Matter: Making The Cosmos Local
DESCRIPTION:MAKING THE COSMOS LOCAL \nFor millennia\, people across the globe have searched the sky for answers. They have imagined and reimagined the cosmos\, from an infinite and eternal backdrop full of other worlds\, to a young Earth encircled by nearby planets and crystal spheres of stars. What is the relation between our lives here on Earth and the wider realm of nearby planets\, distant stars\, unfathomably faraway galaxies\, and a potentially infinite universe—or swarm of universes? Where do we find\, or create\, meaning in such a picture? \nQuestions That Matter is a series of public dialogues presented by the Institute for Humanities Research. This series brings together UC Santa Cruz scholars with community residents to explore questions that matter to all of us. We invite you to join us on Jan 27\, 2015 for the series launch at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center. \nFeaturing: Minghui Hu (History) and Anthony Aguirre (Physics). Facilitated by: Nathaniel Deutsch (IHR Director) \nPlease join us for an evening of conversation and connection as we bring these questions down to earth and make the cosmos local. \nBuy Tickets \n  \nTuesday\, January 27\, 2015\n6pm wine and hors d’ oeuvres * 7pm program starts\nKuumbwa Jazz Center \nSeating is limited.

He is the co-founder and associate scientific director of the Foundational Questions Institute\, which supports research on questions at the foundations and new frontiers of physics and cosmology. Learn more at www.anthony-aguirre.com. \n Minghui Hu is an Associate Professor of History at UC Santa Cruz and his research focuses on the intellectual history of early modern China. His monograph “China’s Transition to Modernity: The Classical Vision of Dai Zhen” will be published by the University of Washington Press in 2015. He has organized an international conference “Cosmopolitanism in China\, 1600-1950” at UCSC. The multi-authored book\, drawn from this conference\, will be published under the same tile by Cambria Press in 2015.

This is a place like no other. It was imagined from the minds of original thinkers—the rebels and visionaries\, artists\, scientists\, and poets who had the courage to strike off on a different path in search of ideas that question norms in hopes of making the world a better place. Let’s celebrate 50 amazing years. Visit 50years.ucsc.edu and see what we are planning. \nQuestions that Matter is a public humanities series developed by UCSC Institute for Humanities Research (IHR) and the community of Santa Cruz.
