SUMMARY:DataLex: Privacy\, Big Data\, & the Law
DESCRIPTION:Today\, across nearly every societal sector\, from corrections to education to health care\, large-scale data analysis is a widely adopted tool. Our most personal behaviors and traits are regularly quantified by a rapidly growing array of sensors and devices around us.  These devices are connected to intelligent systems that can render critical predictions about our conduct and choices—what we will buy\, our health\, when we will leave our jobs\, whether we pay our bills\, even whether we will commit crimes. \nWhile data analytics promise to unlock extraordinary advances in productivity and research\, fascinating legal and ethical issues arise as Big Data is deployed in new contexts: \n\nHow does privacy law constrain the ability of data controllers to use or apply predictive judgments about us?\nAre the algorithms that increasingly measure and curate our lives fair\, or can they encode discriminatory biases?\nIn some contexts\, such as genomic research\, are privacy risks to individuals outweighed by the potentially life-saving benefits to society of research that requires large-scale processing of personal information?\nWhat is the role of information governance and regulation in facilitating and sculpting the uses of Big Data?\n\nTo interrogate these issues\, DataLex is bringing together data scientists\, policymakers\, legal scholars\, and privacy advocates to collectively consider these important issues using technical\, social and ethical lenses simultaneously. \nTo register for this event\, or for further information\, including registration\, please visit http://lex.ucsc.edu/resources/datalex_registration.html

SUMMARY:Food for Thought: Marcia Ochoa on Colonialism impact on current views of gender and sexuality
DESCRIPTION:Cannibalism\, Sodomy\, and the Failings of Modernity\nMarcia Ochoa\, Feminist Studies Department\nProfessor Marcia Ochao’s research areas include transgender studies\, gender and sexuality\, colonial historiography\, and many more. In this talk she will show how European colonizers focused on non-Western practices of spirituality (which they called idolatry)\, relation to the body\, (cannibalism)\, and gender systems (sodomy) as key forms of difference that legitimized their project of colonizing the Americas. Professor Ochoa will discuss how colonization and specific historic events have shaped gender and sexuality ever since\, and continue to reproduce violence in the lives of gender-variant people. What will it take to create a society that does not reproduce this kind of violence? \nFood for Thought is an opportunity for students to connect with faculty in an informal and interactive setting. Join us each quarter for a presentation from a renowned UCSC faculty member. Hear about the speaker’s research and professional experience\, learn more about an aspect of their work\, and enjoy an opportunity to interact and ask questions. And\, get to know another side of the faculty speaker through food – light refreshments provided will represent some favorite food or cuisine of our invited guest and/or reflect the evening’s topic. \nFor more information or accessibility needs\, please contact coco@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:Ozploitation Film Series Presents: Razorback
DESCRIPTION:There’s something about blasting the shit out of a razorback that brightens up my whole day. \nAs one would expect from a film about a car-sized boar rampaging through the outback with a bloodlust for humans\, Razorback is equal parts style\, surface\, and absurdity. Accordingly\, plot summaries fail to do justice to the sheer bloody loveliness of the highly artificial lighting (in particular\, the dead of night in the outback has never looked so neon blue) and gratuitous camera movements that appear to be straight out of an early Duran Duran music video\, which is as apt given that this is indeed the narrative feature-length film debut of Russell Mulcahy\, the director of the bulk of said early Duran Duran music videos. Come for the killer boar\, stay for the cinematography. Not to be missed! \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing exploitation films from Australia each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends.

SUMMARY:Comparative Empires: Feminist Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Histories of empire have been tethered over-determinedly to singular histories of nation-states\, temporalities and/or geopolitics. Rather than locate empire as a stable or temporal concept\, the colloquium attends to the imaginative possibilities offered by a turn to a more comparative relationship to empire within a south-south framework. To do so\, we turn to two clusters of critical attachments that are rarely configured through and against the language(s) of empire (1) How do we understand empire delinked from locality\, and locality delinked from geopolitical territory? (2) How do we attend to a politics of comparative empires that would be less about given political identities and geographies and more about vernacular epistemologies shaping\, social and human collectivities? To attend to these issues\, the colloquium foregrounds south-south engagement and brings together work on empire from South Asia\, African diaspora studies and aboriginal/indigenous histories. \n  \nVIDEO: \n \n  \n \nPHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n\n  \nProgram\n10:00 AM – Introductory Remarks\nAnjali Arondekar\, Feminist Studies\, UC Santa Cruz \n10:10 AM – “Silent Incantations “\nRonaldo Wilson\, Literature\, UC Santa Cruz \n10:30 AM – “A Minor History of Empire: Indenture\, Abolition\, and the Post-bellum Polity” \nMrinalini Sinha\, History\, University of Michigan \n12:00 PM – Lunch \n1:30 PM – “Engaging Geontopower\, Films by the Karrabing Film Collective”\nElizabeth Povinelli\, Anthropology\, Columbia University\nRespondent: Mayanthi Fernando\, Anthropology\, UC Santa Cruz \n3:00 PM – Tea Break \n3:30 PM – “An Ethereal Girl in an Imperial World: Inside U.S. Empire with Grace Halsell”\nRobin D.G.

SUMMARY:Linguistic Colloquium: Heidi Harley
DESCRIPTION:Heidi Harley\, University of Arizona \n“Suppressing Subject Arguments in Hiaki” \nThe Hiaki passive suffix -wa appears in a very normal-looking personal passive\, and also in an odd impersonal passive—odd in that it is productive with unaccusative as well as unergative intransitive predicates\, provided they have a [+human] argument. It appears that -wa can even make a personal passive out of a raising predicate\, suppressing the embedded subject and promoting the embedded object. \nI will lay out the empirical picture for you\, mainly focussing on investigating whether the apparent impersonal construction might have a null impersonal subject argument\, and arguing that it does not. Then I will illustrate where my thinking is going about how -wa operates\, aiming for a unified treatment of -wa across the personal and impersonal constructions using half of Lechner 2012’s reflexivization operation. Then I will ask for lots and lots of input. \n\n  \nLinguistic Colloquium: \nThe Linguistic department hosts colloquium talks by distinguished faculty from around the world. \nFall 2015\nOctober 9th: Keith Johnson\, UC Berkeley\nOctober 16th: Heidi Harley\, University of Arizona\nOctober 30th: Ivano Caponigro\, UC San Diego\nNovember 20th: Elliott Moreton\, University of North Carolina \nWinter 2016\nJanuary 15th: Sharon Inkelas\, UC Berkeley\nFebruary 5th: Colin Phillips\, University of Maryland\nFebruary 6th: N.
