SUMMARY:Patricia Lunn: "In the Defense of Linguistic Grammar"
DESCRIPTION:LANGUAGE PROGRAM COLLOQUIUM SERIES PRESENTS: \n“In the Defense of Linguistic Grammar” \n \nPatricia Lunn \nProfessor Emeritus of Spanish Michigan State University \nDiscussions about teaching grammar in the foreign language classroom are usually cast in terms of when (in order of acquisition) and how much (as against other activities). A little-discussed aspect of grammar teaching is what the content of grammar lessons should be. But not all grammatical description is equal\, and some is not even accurate. This presentation argues that the simplicity and descriptive adequacy of linguistic grammar should be recognized and exploited.

SUMMARY:Are You My Data? A Research Ethics Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Research is sponsoring a series of Research Ethics Fora for faculty\, postdocs and graduate students.  The first forum in the Series “Are You My Data?” is on Tuesday May 8th in the Alumni Room of the University Center and is hosted by Prof. Jennifer Reardon of the Science & Justice Working Group.  This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the challenges of managing research data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAre You My Data?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith a human genome sequenced and a map of variable sites in that genome created\, governments and many other public and private actors now seek to make genomic data relevant to health\, medicine and the society.  However\, to do so they must navigate the conjunction of two different approaches to data.  Within the biomedical domain there are important\, well-articulated infrastructures and commitments arising out of concerns about individual rights\, patient privacy and the doctor-patient relationship that limit access to biomedical data.  This stands in stark contrast to the culture of open access forged by those who worked on the Human Genome Project\, and that has continued to be a central commitment of ongoing Human Genome research.  Thus\, architects of the genomic revolution face competing\, complex technical and ethical challenges that arise from this meeting of these domains with substantially different ethos.  Additionally\, the rise of social media has led to a broad and contested discussion about the proper relationship between persons and data and who profits through access to it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe goal of the proposed workshop is to map out the challenges of building and controlling genomic data architectures that are responsive to these conditions.  Rather than suggesting that either openness or privacy is the answer\, the workshop will ask which kinds of openness and privacy might be possible and adequate\, and in which contexts?   Further\, who has the authority to decide?  Who can/should authorize the flow of data and what forms of consent are required? What kinds of flow of data should be allowed (e.g.\, ones that lead back to persons\, etc.)?  Finally\, the workshop will consider questions around where and how data should be accessed.  Is “the cloud” a viable option?  What other options exist to manage deluging data\, and what ethical and material challenges do they present? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile the workshop will focus on the specific context of genomics\, of course the broader issues raised are not unique to genomics.  We hope the workshop is only one of  several we will host to consider the current gathering of fundamental and entwined issues of science\, engineering\, ethics and policy at the site of data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n1:00-2:30 Panel 1: The Collision of Privacy and Openness\n2:30-2:45 Break\n2:45-4:15 Panel 2: Creating and Sustaining Trust\n4:15-4:30 BREAK\n4:30-5:00 Agenda Setting for Future Discussions \nSpeakers:\nConfirmed (*)\n*David Winickoff\, Associate Professor of Bioethics and Society\, UC Berkeley\n*Malia Fullerton\, Associate Professor in the Department of Bioethics & Humanities at the University of Washington School of Medicine\n*Bob Zimmerman\, Program Director\, Cancer Genome Hub\n*John Wilbanks\, VP of Science\, Science Commons

SUMMARY:Trevor Joy Sangrey: “’Put One More “S” in the USA’: Pamphlet Literature and the Productive Fiction of the Black Nation Thesis”
DESCRIPTION:In 1928 the Communist Party developed an unconventional and intriguing proposal that black people in the Black Belt of the Southern United States were an unrecognized national group and should have rights to self-determination\, a move later called the “Black Nation Thesis.” Written in Moscow\, the Black Nation Thesis was forged in the US through direct action campaigns for the Scottsboro Nine\, local organizing around unemployment\, and an extensive production of pamphlets. \nThis paper focuses on pamphlets produced between 1932 and 1935\, especially The American Negro\, The Position of Negro Women\, and The Negroes in a Soviet America\, looking at the pamphlets as a literature of dissent that offers a strong critique of Jim Crow\, Chain Gangs\, Lynch Law\, and the economic and cultural oppression of black people. Alongside a critical analysis of the US\, the pamphlet develops a fictional a concept of a “Soviet America” in the Black Belt\, offering a new vision of radical freedom for black Southerners and enabling new conversations about race and class. \nTracing a different history of black radicalism in small press pamphlet literature\, this paper looks at a specific moment of dissident print culture\, whcih was spectacular\, imaginative\, and importantly pedagogical. Probing how radical visions grow and spread\, my research on 1930s CPUSA pamphlets reveals how pamphlets offer a place for internal critical thinking and stimulate movement participants to generate substantive critique of the US while also developing their own visions for a radical future. \nTrevor Joy Sangrey is a PhD candidate working in history\, education\, american studies\, race and ethnicity studies\, and gender studies\, with a focus on social movements. Trevor also teaches and has published in the interdisciplinary field of Transgender Studies.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Linguistics Colloquium: Dominique Sportiche
DESCRIPTION:Dominique Sportiche works on formal syntax. He has focused on the theory of constituent structure\, and properties of the syntax/semantics interface (especially in French and the Romance languages) as they bear on the architecture of syntactic or grammatical theory and on cognition in general. He has published work on phrase structure\, agreement\, clitics\, and reconstruction phenomena. His current theoretical interests and ongoing works include phrase structure and the functional sequence\, the internal structure of VPs\, reconstruction phenomena and the binding theory. From an empirical standpoint his work focalizes primarily on various aspects of the syntax systems of English\, and of French and the Romance languages (complementizers\, relative pronouns\, reflexive constructions\, binding theory). In recent years his work has extended to the relation between linguistic theory and (i) linguistic impairment (in Huntington’s disease patients)\, (ii) very early acquisition of syntax and (iii) grounding theoretical choices in more systematic methods of data collection and control (particularly regarding the binding theory\, and the French complementizer system). \nDominique Sportiche is Professor of Linguistics at the University of California\, Los Angeles. \nThis talk is presented by the Department of Linguistics. For more information please contact Nathan Arnett\, nvarnett@ucsc.edu.
