SUMMARY:"Genomics and Philosophy of Race" Conference
DESCRIPTION:The “Genomics and Philosophy of Race” conference aims to foster a dialogue about race\, and\, in particular\, about relationships between ideas of race and modern genomics research. Four panels of experts and two keynote speakers will consider scientific\, historical\, sociological\, and philosophical questions: Does contemporary genomics inform and shift our classifications\, conceptualizations\, and consciousness of race? To what extent is race real? Which inferences\, if any\, about the body\, mind\, and culture might race and related concepts (e.g.\, ancestry and ethnicity) ground? We invite students\, researchers\, and the public at large to join our conversation. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nAGENDA & PANELISTS:\nSaturday\, April 12\, 2014 • 10am-6pm\n10:00am Brief Opening Comments:\nWilliam A.

SUMMARY:Nimrod Rosler: "Challenges in the Way to Peace in Israel/Palestine"

SUMMARY:Rick Baldoz: "The Strange Career of the Filipino 'National': Race\, Immigration\, and the Bordering of U.S. Empire"
DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore the incorporation of Filipino immigrants in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century\, focusing on the interplay of colonialism\, racial boundaries and citizenship policy. The influx of Filipinos to the United States that followed the annexation of the Philippines confounded American authorities tasked with enforcing traditional racial checkpoints in American society. This talk will illustrate how the geo-political imperatives of U.S. imperial expansion repeatedly collided with domestic practices of racial exclusion forcing American policymakers to recalibrate the administrative boundaries of the national polity to address the status of colonial migrants. Contestation over the socio-legal status of Filipinos in the United States offers important insights into the contingent and contested nature of America’s ascriptive hierarchies and the interlocking politics of immigration\, race and U.S. statecraft. \nRick Baldoz is an Assistant Professor in the Sociology Department at Oberlin College. He is the author of the award winning book\, The Third Asiatic Invasion: Empire and Migration in Filipino America\, 1898-1946 (NYU Press). He is currently working on a book project about the 1965 Hart Celler Immigration Act\, examining this historical legislation against the backdrop of Cold War politics\, anti-colonial upheaval\, and domestic civil rights mobilization.

SUMMARY:Models of Mediterranean Modernity: The Perspective From the Longue Duree
DESCRIPTION:The UC Santa Cruz Emeriti Group presents the 2014 spring Emeriti Faculty Lecture “Models of Mediterranean Modernity: The Perspective From the Longue Duree” \nViewed from a global perspective\, the Mediterranean region has enjoyed a common historical experience since 1500. Increasingly semi-peripheral with respect to the world capitalist system\, and characterized by weak states\, delayed or muffled class formation\, agrarian backwardness and the persistence of pastoralism\, the coming to modernity of the Mediterranean foreshadowed the historical experience of the Third World in its unity and diversity. \nEdmund “Terry” Burke III is Research Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Burke is the author of The Ethnographic State: France and the Invention of Moroccan Islam (forthcoming\, California\, 2014). He is the co-editor of The Environment and World History (UC Press\, 2009) and Environmental Imaginaries of the Middle East (Athens OH: Ohio University\, 2011)\, and Genealogies of Orientalism (Nebraska\, 2008).

SUMMARY:"Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism" Conference
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of the year\, the Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Research Cluster has brought together scholars from UCSC and beyond for an interdisciplinary inquiry into the history and future of the capitalist world-system. A few focal points have arisen: the history of separation from the means of subsistence\, and the emergence of market dependence and waged labor; the interpretation of the history of economic thought\, and its relationship to capitalist development; the political problem of work\, as a process generative of capitalist subjectivities\, and a horizon of post-capitalist imaginaries; the constitution of family forms\, and practices of gendering that reproduce capitalist social relations. \nThe eponymous conference of the cluster\, April 18-19\, 2014 will provide a framework for collective discussion of the theoretical questions that have been raised over the course of the cluster’s events. It will also be a space for generating the research questions that the cluster will pursue as it continues its activities. \nThis conference is free and open to the public. \nFor more information\, including the an agenda and panels\, please visit Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Conference page

SUMMARY:Julie Legate: "Noncanonical Passives"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this talk\, I investigate the syntactic structure of voice\, focusing on noncanonical passives; I build on previous work by myself and others showing that voice is encoded in a functional projection\, VoiceP\, which is distinct from\, and higher than\, vP.  I demonstrate that microvariation in the properties of VoiceP explains a wide range of noncanonical passives\, including agent-agreeing passives\, restricted agent passives\, accusative object passives\, impersonals\, and object voice. The analysis draws on data from a typologically diverse set of languages. \nJulie Legate is Associate Professor of Linguistics at University of Pennsylvania.
