SUMMARY:Michael Ashley: "Mukurtu CMS: Differential Access for the Ethical Stewardship of Cultural and Digital Heritage"
DESCRIPTION:Try and recall a family secret\, or a cherished memory shared between you and a parent or sibling. Now imagine holding on to that memory so that it could be shared with your descendants in 20 years\, or 200. How would you preserve it\, in what form? Who has access to it now\, and how will that memory be held and transferred from generation to generation? From a single moment to the wider experiences of communities\, oral histories and endangered languages\, the intimate interchanges that define codes and protocols for sharing do not easily translate to the digital exchange of the world wide web. In this discussion\, we will look at where we’re failing and succeeding to connect with indigenous priorities for differential access to cultural content\, and what this means for all of us in developing informed exchanges for the digital humanities. We’ll explore Mukurtu CMS\, a free and open source platform designed specifically to address some of these challenges and how community based agile software development can help to humanize the Internet. \nMichael Ashley\, CEO\, Center for Digital Archaeology & Director of Development\, Murkurtu CMS. Dr. Michael Ashley is Chief Executive Officer at the Center for Digital Archaeology (CoDA)\, a non-profit company affiliated with UC Berkeley that creates and leverages data management technologies for the preservation and sharing of cultural heritage. He is developing Codifi\, an innovative mobile solution for turning buried content into discoverable\, data-driven stories. Michael is the Director of Development of Mukurtu CMS\, an open source content management solution for Indigenous communities to share\, license and curate their digital heritage. He received his Ph.D. at UC Berkeley in 2004\, where he went on as faculty and staff to co-found several initiatives\, including the award winning Open Knowledge and the Public Interest (OKAPI)\, and the Media Vault Program\, a digital preservation and access framework for the university’s museums and archives. An archaeological photographer by training\, Michael was the Media Team lead for the Çatalhöyük Research Project for 7 years. \n  \n\n  \nPlease join the IHR Digital Humanities Research Cluster and the University Library for a series of interactive lectures focused on “Digital Humanities & Cultural Heritage.” This inaugural speaker series will highlight digital projects from across the humanities and enable lively discussion about the role of the digital in preserving\, building\, and making accessible cultural materials from around the world. \nNo digital skills required.

SUMMARY:Living Writers Series: Patrick Graybill\, Interpreter Aaron Brace
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Graybill is a pioneer in ASL performance through his early work with the National Theater of the Deaf. He is a prolific translator of English to ASL\, and a teacher of other poets\, having taught for many years at the National Technological Institute of the Deaf in Rochester\, New York (one of two American universities\, along with Gallaudet\, where sign is the official language). Graybill’s work is an important influence on later generations of ASL poets. \nAaron Brace has been interpreting for over 30 years\, primarily as a community and conference interpreter and also for six years as a designated interpreter for a university professor. He credits Patrick Graybill\, Ted Supalla\, and the Deaf communities of Rochester\, NY and the San Francisco Bay Area for making him the interpreter he is today. While it’s debatable whether he deserves his reputation\, it’s absolutely true that he hasn’t always. \nFall 2014 Living Writers Series: \nOctober 9: Ariel Gore \nOctober 16: Kelly Link\, Kim Stanley Robinson\, Karen Joy Fowler \nOctober 23: Andrew Lam\, Kate Gale \nOctober 30: Tobias Wolff \nNovember 6: Helene Wecker \nNovember 13: ASL Performer Patrick Graybill\, Interpreter Aaron Brace \nNovember 20: Kelly Link\, Kim Stanley Robinson\, Karen Joy Fowler \nDecember 4: Katie Crouch \nDecember 11: Student Reading \n  \nAll events are free and open to the public from 4:00-5:45pm in Humanities Lecture Hall 206.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Eric Schwitzgebel: "The Moral Behavior of Ethics Professors"
DESCRIPTION:Do professional ethicists behave any morally better than do non-ethicists of similar social background? If not\, do they at least show greater consistency between their normative attitudes and their outward behavior? Despite a long philosophical tradition associating philosophical reflection with improved moral behavior\, these questions have never been empirically examined. I describe four possible models of the relationship between philosophical moral reflection and real-world moral behavior (boosterism\, epiphenomenalism\, rationalization\, and inert discovery). I then present convergent evidence from studies of about a dozen different types of moral behavior. The results suggest that ethicists behave no morally better on average or any more consistently with their espoused values\, compared to other groups of professors. Using a combination of direct observation and self-report measures\, I examine: the misappropriation of library books\, voting in public elections\, courtesy at professional meetings\, responsiveness to student emails\, charitable donation\, organ and blood donation\, staying in touch with one’s mother\, vegetarianism\, honesty in responses to surveys\, nonpayment of conference registration fees\, Nazi party membership in the 1930s\, and peer evaluation of overall moral behavior. The overall results will be compared with the predictions of the four models. \nEric Schwitzgebel is a Professor of Philosophy at UC Riverside. He has written extensively on consciousness\, self-knowledge\, attitudes\, and moral psychology. His most recent book is Perplexities of Consciousness. He blogs at The Splintered Mind. \n  \n\n  \nThe campus community and interested public are welcome at all Philosophy Department sponsored colloquia\, conferences and workshops. \nSpring 2015 \n\nShelley Wilcox\, San Francisco State\n\nWinter 2015 \n\nRebecca Kukla\, Georgetown\nFelipe De Brigard\, Duke\n\nFall 2014 \n\nEric Schwitzgebel\, UC Riverside: The Moral Behavior of Ethics Professors\n\nMore info at: http://philosophy.ucsc.edu/news-events/colloquia-conferences/index.html

SUMMARY:Pritam Singh: "Spatial Shift and Ecological Crisis: An Eco-Socialist Perspective”
DESCRIPTION:A spatial shift has been taking place in global capitalism in the last few decades\, in the form of declining importance of the older advanced capitalism and the rising importance of “emerging economies.” The most dramatic representation of this shift is that China has recently overtaken US as the largest economy in the world. For the first time\, capitalism is expanding into countries with very large populations such as China\, India and Indonesia. The rising consumption in these economies is sharpening the global ecological crisis. \nPritam Singh has a doctorate in economics from University of Oxford and is currently a Professor of economics at Oxford Brookes University\, Oxford. He focuses on the sustainability implications of global capitalism\, and Indian capitalism with emphasis on decentralization and human rights. His two most recent books are Federalism\, Nationalism and Development: India and the Punjab Economy\, and Economy\, Culture and Human Rights: Turbulence in Punjab\, India and Beyond. \nThis talk is part of the series “What is To Be Done? Organizational Forms and Political Futures\,” organized by:\nThe Crisis in the Cultures of Capitalism Research Cluster and the Institute for Humanities Research\, with the cosponsorship of the Literature\, Sociology\, Anthropology\, and Politics Departments; Stevenson\, Cowell\, and Porter Colleges; and the Vice Chancellor for Research. \nPoster image: photo via fortes.com \n\n  \nPODCAST:  \n \nEVENT PHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Karen Armstrong: "Fields of Blood: Religion and the History of Violence"
DESCRIPTION:The renowned author of A History of God will discuss and sign copies of her new book\, Fields of Blood—a sweeping exploration of religion and the history of human violence. \nFor the first time\, religious self-identification is on the decline in America. Some analysts have cited as cause a post-9/11 perception: that faith in general is a source of aggression\, intolerance\, and divisiveness—something bad for society. But how accurate is that view? With deep learning and sympathetic understanding\, Karen Armstrong sets out to discover the truth about religion and violence in each of the world’s great traditions\, taking us on an astonishing journey from prehistoric times to the present. \n“A definitive voice in defense of the divine in human culture.” —Kirkus Reviews\, starred review \nThis offsite ticketed event will take place at Peace United Church. Purchase tickets below or in-person at Bookshop Santa Cruz. \nKaren Armstrong is a provocative\, original thinker on the role of religion in the modern world. A former Roman Catholic nun and a world-renowned religious scholar\, she is the author of numerous bestsellers including A History of God\, The Battle for God\, Islam\, Buddha\, and The Spiral Staircase. \nTICKETS: $32.70\, includes two tickets to the event and one copy of Fields of Blood. This event will take place at Peace United Church. Open seating.\n  \nTickets & Information\n \n  \nEvent presented by Bookshop Santa Cruz\, in partnership with the Institute for Humanities Research.
