SUMMARY:Diaspora and Memory -- Sikhs and 1984
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years ago saw the culmination of increasing social conflict in Punjab\, a Sikh-majority state in India. In 1984\, the government of India launched a military operation on the Sikhs’ central religious site\, aimed at militants\, but also ensnaring innocent pilgrims. Later that year\, Sikh bodyguards assassinated India’s Prime Minister in retribution\, immediately followed by pogroms against Sikhs all over India\, and subsequently a decade of violence and repression in Punjab. The perpetrators of state violence have not been brought to justice\, and the events of 1984 and after continue to cast a shadow on Sikhs across the globe. \nProf. Gurinder Singh Mann\, Kundan Kaur Kapany Chair in Sikh Studies at UC Santa Barbara and Prof. Pashaura Singh\, Dr. Jasbir Singh Saini Chair in Sikh and Punjabi Studies at UC Riverside\, will be panelists sharing their thoughts on\, and experiences of these events\, as well as the continuing implications for the global Sikh community. The panel and discussion will be moderated by Prof. Nirvikar Singh\, Sarbjit Singh Aurora Chair of Sikh and Punjabi Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \nAll students\, faculty and community members are invited. Lunch will be provided\, and RSVPs are requested by November 25th at 1 pm. Please RSVP by email to Evin Guy\, Institute for Humanities Research\, ecguy@ucsc.edu. \nPanel discussion presented by the Sarbjit Singh Aurora Endowed Chair in Sikh and Punjabi Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \n\nImage credit: “1984: The Storming of the Golden Temple”\, 1998\, Amrit and Rabindra K.D.Kaur Singh. \nLondon born twin sisters Amrit and Rabindra are contemporary British artists of International standing whose award winning paintings have been acknowledged as constituting a unique genre in British Art and for initiating a new movement in the revival of the Indian miniature tradition within modern art practice. \n\nEVENT VIDEO: \n \nEVENT PHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Thor Sawin and Jason Martel: "Fostering foreign language learners’ speaking through ongoing feedback"
DESCRIPTION:It is now well accepted in foreign language pedagogy that assessment is not solely an end-­‐of-­‐unit activity. Rather\, it is important for teachers to monitor learners’ language development using a variety of techniques throughout the course of a unit of study. Among the many skills to be assessed in foreign language classrooms\, speaking presents unique challenges. First\, because spoken language samples immediately disappear\, it is harder for teachers to give meaningful feedback that can be immediately applied. Second\, speaking tends to be assessed formally and only a few times in a term\, resulting in unhelpful\, institutionally-­‐required grades that neither prompt learners to produce more language based on feedback nor motivate them by recognizing the progress they have made. With these considerations in mind\, our talk will: \n• Define speaking/oral proficiency \n• Distinguish between formative and summative assessment \n• Discuss the use of speaking portfolios as a motivational and developmental strategy \n• Discuss strategies for assessing speaking throughout and at the end of a unit of study\, in ways that learners are able to keep track of and take ownership over\n  \nLight refreshments will be served.
