SUMMARY:Utopian Dreaming: 50 years of Imagined Futures in California and at UCSC
DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, UCSC is celebrating its 50th anniversary\, and Ernest Callenbach’s Ecotopia its 40th. Both are products of a fertile period of ferment across California\, during the 1960s and 1970s. Why has California been such a fertile and fruitful site for “Utopian Dreaming\,” in film\, fiction\, media\, design\, architecture\, mobility\, electronics\, intentional communities\,ecology and environment\, counter-culture and social movements? What kinds of futures has California come to represent? What has been the role of UCSC in these imaginaries of the future. Does California remain a Promised Land\, or is it a Land of Squandered Promise?\nOn November 6th and 7th\, 2015\, join scholars\, students\, observers and utopian dreamers \, in a conference to celebrate those anniversaries and explore visions of the future that have emerged from California and UCSC about California and UCSC. Presentations will run the gamut from Ecotopia to Technodystopia\, from the real to the fantasized\, from the past to the future\, assessing the impacts of utopian imaginaries on culture\, politics\, environment\, cities\, beliefs and ideologies at UCSC\, across California\, and beyond. \nAdmission is free\, but attendees are asked to register for the conference here. \n\nConference Schedule:\nFriday\, November 6\, UCSC Music Recital Hall\, 7:30-10 PM\n7:30-10: Keynote — Return to Ecotopia: A Celebration of the Life and Work of Ernest Callenbach.\nKim Stanley Robinson\, “Ecotopia and the 1970s Utopian Moment”\nConversation & Reminiscences about Ecotopia & Ernest Callenbach\nMalcolm Margolin (publisher\, Heyday Books\, Berkeley)\,\nJoanna Callenbach (daughter)\nRichard Kahlenberg (Callenbach’s literary agent) \nSaturday\, November 7\, UCSC Music Recital Hall\n8:30-9: Registration & Continental Breakfast\n9-9:30: Keynote — Fred McPherson\, “Utopia at UCSC: The Early Years”\n9:30-11:00: Panel I — California as Eco(u)topia\nBenjamin Wurgaft (MIT)\, “All Futures Green and Chrome: From Callenbach’s Ecotopia to 21st-Century Cornucopianism”\nKristin Miller (Sociology\, UCSC)\, “Postcards from the Future”\n11-11:15: Coffee break\n11:15-12:45: Panel II — Ecotopia and Apocalypse\nAndrew Mathews (Anthropology\, UCSC)\, “Climate Change as Utopia and Apocalypse”\nUrsula Heise (English\, UCLA)\, “What’s the Matter with Dystopia?”\n12:45-1:30: Lunch (provided to attendees on site)\n1:30-3:00: Panel III — Imagining Other Utopian Worlds\nRosaura Sanchez & Beatrice Pita (Literature\, UC San Diego)\, “The Color of Sci Fi: The Presence/Absence of People of Color in Future Imaginaries.” \nMiriam Greenberg (Sociology\, UCSC)\, “Whose Ecotopia?

It’s going to be awesome and hilarious and something you need to be a part of. \nGet your organization\, your friends\, your yoga club\, your astronomy class or your ukulele team to come up with an amazing parade entry (think floats\, marching bands\, dance groups\, costumed kids\, costumed old hippies\, giant paper mache banana slugs\, or ?). \nInvite your SLUGGIEST friends to this event page! \nSIGN UP HERE \nThere will be awards and prizes for the top entries. We ask that all entries have a thematic connection with UCSC or Banana Slugs. \nFor more details and for updates on the Expo that follows the parade\, please visit DowntownSantaCruz.com \nThis parade and expo celebrating UCSC’s 50th Anniversary on October 25th is being organized by the City of Santa Cruz and the Downtown Association. \nMore info:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/445296702306085/\nhttps://events.ucsc.edu/event/3124

SUMMARY:An Uncommon Place: Shaping the UC Santa Cruz Campus
DESCRIPTION:As part of UCSC’s 50th Anniversary celebration\nAn Uncommon Place: Shaping the UC Santa Cruz Campus\nExhibition Dates: Friday\, September 18\, 2015 – Sunday\, October 25\, 2015\n \nPublic reception at the Smith Gallery at Cowell College:\nFriday\, September 18\, 5:00pm-7:00pm \nCurated by Emeriti Professors James Clifford\, Michael Cowan\, Virginia Jansen\, and Emeritus Campus Architect Frank Zwart. \nAll events are FREE \nThe exhibition\, originally presented last spring at the Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery at Porter College\, traces the decisive moments in the early creation of UC Santa Cruz’s built environment. \nEveryone agrees that the UC Santa Cruz campus is breathtaking. How was it created? An Uncommon Place traces decisive moments in the site’s early development. Here an innovative educational project engaged with a beautiful and challenging environment. The university took shape among steep ravines and dramatic trees in a way that respected as it transformed the landscape. Using architectural plans\, photographs\, and oral histories\, the exhibition illustrates paths taken and not taken-decisions\, constraints\, and hopes. It celebrates the achievement of UCSC’s founding planners while analyzing the tensions and contradictions that were built into their project. Through its many subsequent transformations\, the UC Santa Cruz campus remains an extraordinary work of environmental art. \nRemembering these formative years can perhaps help us renew a powerful utopian experiment. At UC Santa Cruz\, architecture and environment still conspire to create an uncommon place\, a setting for teaching\, research and imagination outside the bounds of the ordinary. \nSponsored by UCSC Alumni Association; Divisions of the Arts\, Humanities\, Physical and Biological Sciences\, Social Sciences; Colleges: Cowell\, Eight\, Kresge\, Oakes\, Porter\, and Stevenson; McHenry Library Special Collections & Archives; and University Relations. \n\n  \nEloise Pickard Smith Gallery Hours: \nTuesday – Sunday\, 11:00am to 4:00pm (Exhibition Dates: September 18 – October 25) \nThe gallery is wheelchair accessible and admission is free. Group tours are available by appointment (831) 459-3606. Please visit our website http://art.ucsc.edu/galleries/uncommon-place
