SUMMARY:Manlio Argueta and Jorge Argueta: Beyond the Volcano
DESCRIPTION:The Latino Literary Cultures Research Cluster presents: \nManlio Argueta is a Salvadoran writer\, critic\, and novelist born in 1935. Although he considers himself first and foremost a poet\, he is known in the English speaking world for his book Un día en la vida\, One Day of Life. \nArgueta was born in San Miguel\, El Salvador\, on November 24\, 1935. Argueta has stated that his exposure to “poetic sounds” began during his childhood and that his foundation in poetry stemmed from his childhood imagination. Argueta’s interest in literature was strongly influenced by the world literature he read as a teenager. Argueta began his writing career by the age of 13 as a poet. He cites Pablo Neruda and Federico García Lorca as some of his early poetic influences. Although he was relatively unknown at the time\, Argueta won a national prize for his poetry around 1956\, which gained him some recognition among Salvadoran and Central American poets. As he became more involved with the literary community of El Salvador\, Argueta became a member of the “Committed Generation”. Because of his writings criticizing the government\, Argueta was exiled to Costa Rica in 1972 and was not able to return to El Salvador until the 1990s. Argueta currently lives in El Salvador where he holds the position of Director of the National Public Library. \nJorge Argueta– Born in El Salvador\, Jorge immigrated to San Francisco\, California in 1980.  He is a prize-winning poet and author of many bilingual children’s books and poetry books.  His first book for Children’s Book Press\, A Movie in My Pillow / Una película en mi almohada\, received numerous awards including the 2002 Américas Book Award for Latin American Literature\, the IPPY Award for Multicultural Fiction–Juvenile/Young Adults\, and the Skipping Stones Honor Award for Multicultural and International Books.  Jorge’s books have been published by pretigious editorial houses in Canada (Groundwood Books)\, the United States (Children’s Book Press) and Spain (Alfaguara). His books have been beautifully illustrated by well-known Latin- American illustrators. \nJorge makes presentations and holds poetry workshops throughout the United States and Central America – in public and private schools\, universities\, cultural centers\, community centers\, museums\, festivals\, hospitals and youth\nguidance centers.  In 2009\, he was invited to participate in the John F. Kennedy Multicultural Book Festival in Washington\, DC. Jorge is active in the cultural life of the city in which he resides and also works with humanitarian organizations to assist families and children in El Salvador.  Jorge Argueta is also the Director of “Talleres de Poesia” a literary organization based in the US\, that launched and organized the First Annual Children’s Poetry Festival in El Salvador (November 2010). \nStaff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Banu Subramaniam: "Tracking Ghosts: Hauntings from a Eugenic Past"
DESCRIPTION:What do morning glory flowers or exotic plant and animal species have to do with the history of race or eugenics? In this talk\, I trace the genealogies of ecology and evolutionary biology to explore how histories of gender and race shape contemporary biological theories and what lessons we can learn about the relationships between natures and cultures. \nBanu Subramaniam is associate professor of Women\, Gender\, Sexuality Studies at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. She is coeditor of Feminist Science Studies: A New Generation (Routledge\, 2001) and Making Threats: Biofears and Environmental Anxieties (Rowman and Littlefield\, 2005). Trained as a plant evolutionary biologist\, she seeks to engage the social and cultural studies of science in the practice of science. Spanning the humanities\, social sciences\, and the biological sciences\, her research is located at the intersections of biology\, women’s studies\, ethnic studies and postcolonial studies. Her current work focuses on the genealogies of variation in evolutionary biology\, the xenophobia and nativism that accompany frameworks on invasive plant species\, and the relationship of science and religious nationalism in India. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Feminist Studies Department and the Science and Justice Working Group.

SUMMARY:Sarah Nelson: "Korea and the Silk Road"
DESCRIPTION:UCSC Society of the Archeological Institute of America and the President’s Chair in Ancient Studies present a lecture in an ongoing series on “Archaeology and the Ancient World” \n \nProfessor Sarah Milledge Nelson: “Korea and the Silk Road”\nThursday\, May 12 at 5 pm (refreshments at 4:30)\nHumanities 1\, Room 210\n  \nThe Korean peninsula was almost the Asian end of the “Silk Road\,” yet exotic objects from the Mediterranean world are found in Korean burials beginning in the first century B.C. In studying how these objects came to be deposited in Korean burials\, it becomes clear that objects arrived in Korea by at least three different routes. Professor Nelson will discuss the Steppe Route north of the Altai Mountains\, the Silk Road through Xinjinag\, and a Sea Route\, along with the objects that arrived in Korea from as far away as the Mediterranean world. \n \nSarah Milledge Nelson is the John Evans Distinguished Professor with the University of Denver’s Department of Anthropology. She received her degrees from Wellesley College\, and the University of Michigan (M.A. and Ph.D.)\, and her areas of specialization are East Asia\, particularly Korea and northeast China\, gender issues\, religion in archaeology\, leadership\, and ethnicity. Professor Nelson has conducted fieldwork in China and South Korea\, as well as several sites in the southwest U.S. Her recent main publications include Shamanism and the Origin of States\, Spirit\, Power and Gender in East Asia (2008\, Left Coast Press)\, and the edited volume Gender in Archaeology (2006\, Alta Mira Press). \nFree parking for lecture in Cowell-Stevenson parking lots. For more information on the lecture or the AIA\, please contact hedrick@ucsc.edu. \nStaff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:The Science Studies Creative Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Science Studies Research Cluster invites you to join us for The Science Studies Creative Writing Workshop: \nScience Studies teaches us that narratives\, tropes\, figures\, genres\, and writing styles matter in knowledge-making practices.  For example\, in “The Egg and the Sperm\,” Emily Martin argues that staging human fertilization as a fairy tale starring active\, aggressive\, masculine sperm and receptive\, passive \, feminine ova has both political and epistemological consequences.  Although we have become very good at identifying these narrative elements in the stories of others\, we do not often address the aesthetics and politics of our own storytelling practices.  Due to time constraints and academic convention\, we rarely have the opportunity to  try out different styles of writing. \nWith this in mind\, the UCSC Science Studies Research Cluster presents “The Science Studies Creative Writing Workshop.”  We invite Science Studies scholars (broadly construed!) to submit a short manuscript (<600 words) that presents your research in a style or genre that differs from your regular academic work.  The workshop includes a roundtable where we will discuss each piece in detail\, while discussing strategies for using\, playing with\, and subverting academic conventions.  We offer this workshop as an opportunity to explore creative approaches to writing\, not in service of the “innovative” or “avant-garde\,” but as a practical experiment in the political aesthetics of writing. \nIf you are interested in participating in this workshop\, please e-mail Martha Kenney (mkenney@ucsc.edu) by March 25 to reserve your spot. Mini-manuscripts will be due April 29.   \nThis event is funded by the Center for Cultural Studies.  Staff support is provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.
