SUMMARY:e-Learning and Innovative Pedagogies  "The Future of Education: Advanced Computing\, Ubiquitous Learning\, and the Knowledge Economy"
DESCRIPTION:EVENT PHOTOS:\nCreated with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR. \nUCSC to host an International e-Learning Conference\, November 2-3 2015\nThis year\, UC Santa Cruz will play host to the Eighth International Conference on e-Learning and Innovative Pedagogies from November 2-3\, 2015. The conference is built upon four key features: Internationalism\, Interdisciplinarity\, Inclusiveness\, and Interaction. Conference delegates include leaders in the field as well as emerging artists and scholars who travel to the conference from all corners of the globe and represent a broad range of disciplines and perspectives. A variety of presentation options and session types offer delegates multiple opportunities to engage\, to discuss key issues in the field\, and to build relationships with scholars from other cultures and disciplines. More than 20 countries are expected to be represented at the conference. I encourage our faculty and graduate students to submit proposals to present papers at this conference. \nThe e-Learning Conference will investigate the uses of technologies in learning\, including devices with sophisticated computing and networking capacities that are now pervasively part of our everyday lives. Additionally it explores the possibilities of new forms of technology-mediated learning devices not only in the classroom\, but also in a wider range of places and times than was conventionally the case for education. \nThe conference welcomes submissions from a variety of disciplines and perspectives and encourages faculty and students to jointly submit proposals discussing e-Learning through one of the following themes: \n• Theme 1: Pedagogies\n• Theme 2: Institutions\n• Theme 3: Technologies\n• Theme 4: Social Transformations\n• 2015 Special Focus: The Future of Education: Advanced Computing\, Ubiquitous Learning\, and the Knowledge Economy  \nPlenary speakers will include: Satya V.

SUMMARY:Enduring Power - Photography Exhibit - Nov. 2 - Dec. 17
DESCRIPTION:Enduring Power: \nThe Middle Eastern and Iranian Women’s Story \n— A Photography Exhibit — \nNovember 2 – December 17\, 2015 \nAT: Resource Center for Nonviolence\, 612 Ocean St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA \nExhibit HOURS: M-TH noon – 4p.m. or by appointment\, 831-423-1626 \nSponsored by the Resource Center for Nonviolence and Senses Cultural\, \nEnduring Power’s striking images represent a wide range of experiences\, aspirations\, fears and realities of Middle Eastern and Iranian women from Yemen\, Egypt\, Bahrain\, Iran and Kuwait.  A collection of work from several female photographers of Middle Eastern backgrounds\, Enduring Power shows an intimate and unique perspective of an otherwise private world to the American audience. This exhibition\, curated by photographer Sina Araghi\, presents powerful stories of education\, individuality\, familial relationships\, societal restraints\, and boldness. \n“Peering behind the veil and headscarves to reveal real individuals is a delicate but necessary boundary to push. These photographs speak of the greater issues of identity and resilience\, and the strength of women within these regions. Their sense of identity has not been erased by culture or governments. \n   These women are empowering themselves – against all obstacles – through their own will. A clear defiance and a sense of individuality is present. They are not weak or afraid. They are powerful and energized. They command your attention and your interest. Let their stories be heard.” — Sina Araghi\, curator of Enduring Power \nSenses Cultural\, Davis\, CA\, and the Resource Center for Nonviolence are collaborating on this Senses Cultural’s traveling photography exhibition\, which was previously at UC Davis\, San Francisco State University. Senses Cultural believes that women – mothers\, grandmothers\, and daughters – have been the quiet strength that protects the rights of their families\, communities\, and nations. \nPlease join us for the First Friday EXHIBIT RECEPTION on December 4\, 6-9p.m. featuring Tata Masud\, Founder and CEO of Senses Cultural\, Davis\, CA. Light refreshments will be available. \nCo-sponsors (list in formation):  WILPF Santa Cruz \nFor more information: 831-423-1626\, rcnv.org \nCurator Statement by Sina Araghi\nEnduring Power: The Middle Eastern and Iranian Woman’s Story is a collection of work by seven female photographers from Egypt\, Kuwait\, Bahrain\, Yemen\, and Iran\, examining the lives and livelihoods of women in that region. \nApart from their exceptional photographic work\, these photographers were selected in great part due to their diverse coverage of topics regarding women\, spanning across many different countries throughout the Middle East. \nPeering behind the veil and headscarves to reveal real individuals is a delicate but necessary boundary to push. It is so vital to the future and progress of women in these cultures to be seen succeeding\, thriving\, and discovering – all on their own. Whether they are generations apart or contemporaries\, progress is achieved when women grow and improve on their own terms\, separate from the male influence that so strongly permeates their public culture and the worldwide media. There is an almost constant push/pull between the individualized and powerful identity of the Middle Eastern woman\, and the attempts by culture and government to erase that identity. \nThis collection of images illustrate how that sense of identity has not been erased. This collection is a celebration of the progress and growth that has happened\, and a tangible foreshadowing of what is still to come. \nThe division of gender throughout daily life creates two very different worlds within the same culture. The photographic perspective in this exhibition is unique to women who are inside these cultures and countries. These 7 photographers are not outsiders\, tourists\, or just passing through\, and the familiarity and camaraderie felt between ‘insiders’ is tangible in these photographs. Being a female photographer creates uniquely privileged access into the lives and experiences of the Middle Eastern woman – access into a world that men seldom are privy to. Respecting this access while still honoring the truth in moments witnessed requires grace and trust. There is fragility in that access. As an Iranian male photographer\, I admire this perspective\, knowing full well the limitations and privileges of my own gender. \nCollectively\, these photographs speak of the greater issues of identity and resilience\, and the strength of women within these regions. They are empowering themselves – against all obstacles – through their own will. A clear defiance and sense of individuality is present (an especially sacred quality in a world of appearance commonality)\, and there is no apologizing for any of it. These women are not weak or afraid. They are resilient\, powerful\, and energized. They command your attention and your interest. \nLet their stories be heard. \n-Sina Araghi\, curator \nFor more information: 831-423-1626\, rcnv.org

SUMMARY:Imogen Dickie "Proper Names: Transition to the End Game"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nI shall prove a principle which brings out the significance for accounts of aboutness and reference of the fact that justification is truth conducive; use this principle to develop an account of reference-fixing for proper names which presents an alternative to the tired menu of traditional causalisms\, descriptivisms\, and crosses between; and identify two questions around which the next phase in discussions of reference-fixing for proper names should be structured. \nAbout: \nImogen Dickie is an Associate Professor of Philosophy and Director of Undergraduate Studies at the University of Toronto. Research Interests: Philosophy of language and mind: theory of reference\, metasemantics\, acquaintance\, perception\, communication\, singular thought. Some topics in epistemology\, metaphysics\, and philosophy of action. \nacademia.edu: Imogen Dickie academic page \nhttp://philosophy.ucsc.edu/news-events/dickie.html

SUMMARY:Joseph M. Pierce: "Writing Queer Sisterhood: The Diaries of Julia and Delfina Bunge and the Argentine Fin de Siglo (1890-1910)"
DESCRIPTION:This presentation focuses on a unique coincidence in Argentine fin de siglo (1890-1910): sisters who 1) simultaneously kept a diary for an extended period of time\, 2) actually shared\, read\, and commented on reading each other’s diaries\, and 3) though under quite different circumstances\, published these diaries subsequently. I read the diary as an interface through which textual form influences understandings of self and other in the early years of the 20th century\, arguing that it is\, in this sense\, a technology of self-making. This talk explores not simply what the diarist does\, but what discourses\, what possible modes of feeling and thinking are revealed through the process of writing and reading the diary. In particular the sister serves as critical nucleus for understanding relational subjectivity\, sibling rivalry\, and the queer potentials of lateral kinship. Examining both original manuscript notebooks and later published versions\, I show how writing and reading the diary plays a crucial role in shaping each sister’s ideological positions regarding courtship\, marriage\, and sisterhood\, and from this exploration I argue that the cultural anxiety over the division of public and private space\, and in particular women’s labor\, led each sister to stake a claim of individuality that emerges through the process of imagining herself as different\, but potentially the same as\, her sister.\n  \nJoseph M. Pierce is Assistant Professor in the Department of Hispanic Languages and Literature at Stony Brook University. His research focuses on discourses of kinship\, gender\, and sexuality in Latin America and on the intersection of Latin American and North American approaches to citizenship and belonging. He is currently drafting a book manuscript entitled Queer Kinship in the Argentine fin de siglo: La familia Bunge\, and is co-editor with Fernando Blanco and Mario Pecheny of Derechos Sexuales en el Sur: Políticas del amor y escrituras disidentes (Forthcoming\, Cuarto Propio).\n  \nLight refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Utopian Dreaming: 50 years of Imagined Futures in California and at UCSC
DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, UCSC is celebrating its 50th anniversary\, and Ernest Callenbach’s Ecotopia its 40th. Both are products of a fertile period of ferment across California\, during the 1960s and 1970s. Why has California been such a fertile and fruitful site for “Utopian Dreaming\,” in film\, fiction\, media\, design\, architecture\, mobility\, electronics\, intentional communities\,ecology and environment\, counter-culture and social movements? What kinds of futures has California come to represent? What has been the role of UCSC in these imaginaries of the future. Does California remain a Promised Land\, or is it a Land of Squandered Promise?\nOn November 6th and 7th\, 2015\, join scholars\, students\, observers and utopian dreamers \, in a conference to celebrate those anniversaries and explore visions of the future that have emerged from California and UCSC about California and UCSC.
