SUMMARY:Herbie Lee: "Computer Model Emulation"
DESCRIPTION:Many modern problems involve computer simulations of physical or social processes. The field of statistics provides a range of tools to help with the design\, analysis\, and use of computer simulators. This talk will give an overview of these problems and the statistical perspective\, with applications ranging from rocket science to hydrology to health care policy. \nHerbie Lee is Professor of Applied Mathematics and Statistics and Interim Vice Provost for Academic Affairs\, UCSC. Dr. Lee’s research focuses on Bayesian statistics\, particularly computer models and connections between statistics and machine learning. He has published numerous articles and two books: Multiscale Modeling: A Bayesian Perspective (Springer) and Bayesian Nonparametrics via Neural Networks (SIAM). He is also well known as an outstanding teacher of statistics at all levels. \nThis talk is present as part of the The Linguistics Research Center Brown Bag Lunch Series.

SUMMARY:Jacob Metcalf: "Meet Shmeat: Animal Biotechnologies and the Philosophical Tensions of the New Foods Movements"
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Cultural Studies Colloquium Series Presents: \nJacob Metcalf\, Science and Social Justice Postdoctoral Fellow\, UCSC\n“Meet Shmeat: Animal Biotechnologies and the Philosophical Tensions of the New Foods Movements” \nDoctor Metcalf is the Postdoctoral Fellow in an NSF-funded program training graduate students in interdisciplinary inquiry on the co-constitution of ethics and scientific knowledge. His research concerns the construction of ethical inquiry. He proposes new applied ethics methodologies that account for the boundaries drawn within techno-scientific apparatuses\, and asks how science and technology might become more responsive to the conditions and consequences of those boundaries. \nStaff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research

SUMMARY:Regine Basha: "Tuning Baghdad"
DESCRIPTION:Regine Basha has been an curator of contemporary art and art writer since the early 1990s. Her exhibition and writing history can be found on bashaprojects.com. Amongst her most recent projects is Tuning Baghdad\, an audio-visual forum for chronicling Iraqi-Jewish music scene and their house parties (based on her own background). This ongoing project brings to light the movement of this diasporic community and their displacement from Iraq as evidenced through their love of Arabic music and the Iraqi Maqam. Basha currently sits on the board of the foundation Art Matters (New York)\, Aurora Picture Show (Houston) and is a Curatorial Host to Cabinet Magazine’s new space in Gowanus\, Brooklyn. \nRegine Basha will discuss the background of Tuning Baghdad\, the decisions behind creating it online and not as a documentary\, and the future plans for the site. During the course of the talk\, she will show video\, play audio collages and present books related to the subject. If all goes according to plan\, a surprise guest may be invited to sing over Skype video. \nRegine Basha will give this talk in her capacity as visiting scholar at the Center for Jewish Studies. \nStaff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Living Writers Series: Jessica Hagedorn

Joseph Papp produced her first play Mango Tango in 1978. Hagedorn’s other productions include Tenement Lover\, Holy Food\, and Teenytown. Her mixed media style often incorporates song\, poetry\, images\, and spoken dialogue. Hagerdorn is the author of the novel Dogeaters\, which illuminates many different aspects of Filipino experience\, focusing on the influence of America through radio\, television\, and movie theaters\, and which earned a 1990 National Book Award nomination and an American Book Award. \nEach quarter\, the Living Writers Reading Series brings visiting authors and poets to UC Santa Cruz to give students an in-depth look into the world of the working writer.  Sponsored by Oakes College and the Porter Hitchcock Poetry Fund.

SUMMARY:Susanne Gahl: "Why So Short? Competing Explanations for Variation"
DESCRIPTION:Frequent or contextually-predictable words are often phonetically reduced\, e.g. shortened or produced with articulatory undershoot. Three common explanations for this phenomenon attribute phonetic reduction\, and pronunciation variation generally\, to variation in (1) intelligibility\, (2) speed of lexical access\, and (3) probabilistic properties of whole utterances. In this talk\, I discuss recent results (Gahl\, Yao & Johnson\, under review; Gahl\, in prep.) investigating the sources of pronunciation variation. While these results are consistent with speaker-internal approaches to variation\, I argue that they are best explained by moving beyond the listener vs. speaker dichotomy: Some perceptually-based effects are speaker-internal; and some production-based effects give rise to structured variation in intelligibility resulting in usable cues for recognition.
