SUMMARY:Diasporic Religious Identity in Emerging Adulthood: The Case of British Sikhs
DESCRIPTION:Diasporic Religious Identity in Emerging Adulthood: The Case of British Sikhs \nThis talk examines processes of religious transmission among members of minority diasporic religious communities\, with a focus on British Sikhs. Using ethnographic methods including the first ever large scale online survey of British Sikhs\, this paper explores the shift which has occurred for many young South Asians in Diaspora who now identify more closely with a religious as opposed to an ethnic identity. Focusing on a number of different arenas of religious transmission including families\, religious institutions and the internet\, this paper examines how processes of religious socialisation and familial nurture impact on identity\, in particular among young people entering the phase of ‘Emerging Adulthood’ (Arnett 2004). \nDr Jasjit Singh is a research fellow at the University of Leeds based in the School of Philosophy\, Religion and the History of Science. His research examines the religious lives of South Asians with a particular focus on understanding processes of religious and cultural transmission among Sikhs in diaspora and the different arenas in which this transmission occurs. To date he has examined the relationship between traditional arenas of religious learning (including the family environment and religious institutions) and newer arenas of transmission including camps\, University faith societies and the Internet. He has recently undertaken a project examining the cultural value of South Asian arts and has a growing interest in the role of religious media. \n\n  \nPHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Imagining Social Identities Through Computing
DESCRIPTION:D. Fox Harrell\, Associate Professor of Digital Media\, MIT\nHosted By Noah Wardrip-Fruin \nD. Fox Harrell’s research explores the use of the computer as an expressive and cultural medium. As described in his recent book Phantasmal Media: An Approach to Imagination\, Computation\, and Expression (MIT Press)\, through both building and analyzing systems\, he investigates how the computer can be used to express cultural meanings through data-structures and algorithms. In this talk\, focusing on cultural meanings of social identity\, Harrell explores how our identities are complicated by their intersection with computing technologies including social networking\, gaming\, virtual worlds and related media forms. Toward this end\, Harrell will discuss how data-structures and algorithms in popular videogames and social media implement not only persistent issues of class\, gender\, sex\, race\, and ethnicity\, but also dynamic construction of social categories\, discourse\, metaphorical thought\, body language\, fashion\, and more. He shall then present technologies developed in his research group\, the MIT Imagination\, Computation\, and Expression Laboratory\, which offer more nuanced and expressive ways to computationally model identity-related phenomena such as social status\, marginalization\, and social stigma in digital media. \nBio: D. Fox Harrell\, Ph.D.\, is Associate Professor of Digital Media in the Comparative Media Studies Program and the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT. He founded and directs the MIT Imagination\, Computation\, and Expression Laboratory (ICE Lab). Harrell holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Cognitive Science from the University of California\, San Diego. In 2010\, he received a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award for his project “Computing for Advanced Identity Representation.” His recent book Phantasmal Media: An Approach to Imagination\, Computation\, and Expression was published in 2013 by the MIT Press. He is a 2014-15 Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University and recipient of the Lenore Annenberg and Wallis Annenberg Fellowship in Communication.

SUMMARY:M: Mothers\, Mountains\, Migration\, and Memory
DESCRIPTION:In this spring’s Stevenson College Distinguished Faculty Lecture\, Lisbeth Haas\, Professor of History and Feminist Studies at UCSC\, discusses twentieth-century economic and demographic shifts in the Blue Ridge Mountain town of Hillsville\, Virginia\, home to her mother and a growing Mexican population. \nIn this talk\, Lisbeth Haas\, Professor of History and Feminist Studies\, discusses her search for her mother\, Imogene\, in Hillsville\, Virginia.  World War II brought intense industrialization to this Appalachian hamlet\, but by 2000\, many factories had shuttered.  At the same time\, Hillsville emerged as a destination for migrants from Mexico.  Situating Imogene within a crossroads of global processes\, Professor Haas discusses the politics of motherhood and women’s power in the Blue Ridge Mountain region during the height of its industrialization in the 1950s. \nLisbeth Haas is Professor of History and Feminist Studies at UCSC.  In addition to being Imogene’s daughter\, she is the author of numerous publications.  Her most recent books are Saints and Citizens:  Indigenous Histories of Colonial Missions and Mexican California\, 1750-1850 (University of California Press\, 2014) and Pablo Tac\, Indigenous Scholar (University of California Press\, 2011).
