SUMMARY:Jewish Studies in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:An Interactive Panel Discussion and Presentation of Work for Faculty and Graduate Students in Jewish Studies \nFeaturing\nRachel Deblinger\nCLIR Postdoctoral Fellow and Digital Humanities Specialist\, UC Santa Cruz \nAri Y. Kelman\nChair in Education and Jewish Studies\, Stanford University \nFrancesco Spagnolo\nCurator\, The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life and\nLecturer\, Department of Music\, UC Berkeley \nModerated by\nNathaniel Deutsch\nCo-Director\, Center for Jewish Studies\, UC Santa Cruz \n\n  \nThe ongoing revolutions in computing power and digital technologies have opened up new modes of understanding and engagement for scholars in all fields. Enhanced computing power has already enabled the collection and analysis of large amounts of data such as pages of Talmud\, narrative themes in diverse bodies of literature\, historical events\, and various forms of quantitative data. For others\, digital tools have provided new modes of access to formerly inaccessible documents\, sites\, and other phenomena – prominent examples include the Shoah Foundation’s work to enable its twenty year history in collecting Holocaust testimonies to be searchable and accessible\, and the efforts of Jewish museums to catalogue and curate large cultural collections online. \nAs the field of Jewish Studies confronts new possibilities for scholarly research\, analysis\, and communication in the digital age\, we take up the challenge of employing digital tools to ask new questions about the Jewish past\, present\, and future and illuminate connections previously unseen or unimagined. In this event\, we seek to explore how these new methodologies and theories can direct future inquiries in Jewish Studies and ask if Jewish Studies has something unique to bring to the Digital Humanities. \nKindly register by Tuesday\, April 14.\nFree of charge. Dairy/vegetarian lunch will be served. \nRegister Now \n  \n  \nThis event is for faculty and graduate students in Jewish Studies programs.\nPlease extend an invitation to others who may also be interested in this event.

SUMMARY:Ernesto Chávez: "My Dear Noël": Ramón Novarro\, Noël Sullivan\, and the Negotiation of a Catholic/Mexican/Queer Identity
DESCRIPTION:Ernesto Chávez\, Associate Professor of History at the University of Texas\, El Paso\, and Visiting Researcher at the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center\, reads expressions of devout Catholicism and queer codes in the early- and mid-twentieth-century letters of silent screen actor\, Ramón Novarro\, and arts philanthropist Noël Sullivan. This free\, public lecture takes place Tuesday\, April 21\, 2015\, at 2:00pm in Humanities 1\, Room 520. \nIn this presentation\, Ernesto Chávez offers preliminary thoughts on materials pertaining to Ramón Novarro\, the Mexican-born\, gay\, silent screen actor and devout Roman Catholic. Novarro\, the subject of Professor Chávez’s current book project\, was perhaps best known for playing the title role in the 1925 version of Ben-Hur\, which propelled him to stardom. The bulk of his career occurred at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and after his stardom waned\, he continued to act in movies and television until his violent murder at the hands of a hustler in 1968. The manner of his death ensured that he was outed posthumously. Yet\, if one reads interviews with him and letters that he wrote to friends\, queer codes that deflected his homosexuality emerge. Such is the case with the 102 letters that he wrote to Bay Area arts philanthropist Noël Sullivan. The letters\, which are housed at UC Berkeley’s Bancroft Library\, are the basis of this talk. In these missives\, Novarro expressed his devout Catholicism to Sullivan\, who was both gay and Catholic. The letters provide insight into a platonic relationship between two gay men in the early to mid-twentieth century and allow us to glimpse an intimacy that was mitigated by religiosity\, but that nonetheless had at its core a common homosexuality. \nErnesto Chávez HeadshotErnesto Chávez\, Associate Professor of History at the University of Texas\, El Paso\, is currently a Visiting Researcher at the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center and Institute of American Cultures. His work intersects Chicano/a\, Latino/a\, and Borderlands History and examines the history of the American Southwest\, focusing on the matrix of race\, class\, and sexuality throughout the ethnic Mexican and Latino American past. In 2014\, he received the American Historical Association’s Equity Award. \nClick here for more info \nThe Chicano Latino Research Center is proud to cosponsor this free\, public lecture with the Departments of History and Latin American and Latino Studies.

SUMMARY:Fixing the Pathological Body
DESCRIPTION:The medical industry leans heavily upon a distinction between the “normal” and the “pathological.” Panelists Janette Dinishak (Assistant Professor of Philosophy\, UCSC) Kelly Ormond (Professor of Genetics\, Stanford School of Medicine) and Matthew Wolf-Meyer (Associate Professor of Anthropology\, UCSC) will discuss how and why we continue to define this distinction\, and for whom are these categories useful? What are some alternative ways to organize the lived experiences of human bodies and/or minds? \nJanette Dinishak is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Her research interests include philosophy and history of psychology and psychiatry (especially autism)\, Wittgenstein\, philosophy of mind\, disability\, and ethical theory. \nKelly Ormond is a Professor of Genetics at the Stanford School of Medicine. While Ormond’s primary role is to direct the MS in Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling program\, her research focuses on the intersection between genetics and ethics\, particularly around the translation of new genetic technologies (such as genome sequencing or non-invasive prenatal diagnosis) into clinical practice. She is especially interested in patient decision making\, informed consent\, and the interface between genetics and disability. \nMatthew Wolf-Meyer is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Anthropology at the University of Minnesota\, specializing in medical anthropology\, the social study of science and technology\, and neuroscience. He is author of The Slumbering Masses: Sleep\, Medicine and Modern American Life (UMN Press\, 2012)\, which focuses on sleep in American culture and its historical and contemporary relations to capitalism. His second book\, What Matters: The Politics of American Brains\, focuses on the ethical and epistemological practices in contemporary neuroscience\, cybernetics\, disability activism\, and psychoanalysis in American society. Currently he is in the early stage of a new project focused on the neurological turn to the gut as an extension of the nervous system\, the history of shit in the United States\, and the therapeutic uses of human excrement in modern medicine.

SUMMARY:Mark Amengual: "Living in Two Languages: Lexical Effects in Bilingual Production"
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will present the results of an experiment that investigates voice onset times (VOTs) to determine if cognates enhance the cross-°©‐language phonetic influences in the speech production of a range of Spanish–English bilinguals: Spanish heritage speakers\, English heritage speakers\, advanced L2 Spanish learners\, and advanced L2 English learners. \nTo answer this question\, lexical items with considerable phonological\, semantic\, and orthographic overlap (cognates) and lexical items with no phonological overlap with their English translation equivalents (non-°©‐cognates) were examined. The results indicate that there is a significant effect of cognate status in the Spanish production of VOT by Spanish–English bilinguals. \nThese bilinguals produced /t/ with longer VOT values (more English-°©‐like) in the Spanish production of cognates compared to non-°©‐cognate words. It is proposed that the exemplar model of lexical representation (Bybee\, 2001; Pierrehumbert\, 2001) can be extended to include bilingual lexical connections by which cognates facilitate phonetic interference in the bilingual mental lexicon.

SUMMARY:Tales as Tall as the Redwoods: Reflections on UCSC's Founding Years
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text] \nTo commemorate UC Santa Cruz’s 50th Anniversary\, the Department of History has invited a few distinguished faculty emeriti and alumni to share stories about their experiences at UC Santa Cruz during its early years. This is a rare opportunity to hear the oral histories of the individuals who helped shape the future of our beloved campus. Our engaging list of panelists includes: \n  \nPeter Kenez (Professor Emeritus)\nMultiple generations of UC Santa Cruz students recognize the name Peter Kenez. A Ph.D. graduate from Harvard University and celebrating 50 years on campus in 2016\, it is not uncommon for students ask\, “Does Peter Kenez still teach history here?
