SUMMARY:HUMANISTS@WORK
DESCRIPTION:Humanists@Work is heading to Sacramento\, California for our next statewide graduate student career professionalization workshop. We invite humanities PhDs\, faculty\, and staff to REGISTER for the workshop and join us for what will be another meaningful and productive gathering of humanities PhDs. We are offering a limited number of travel grants to 3 students from each UC campus (grants will cover your roundtrip travel and accommodation at The Citizen Hotel). Please note that those receiving a travel grant will be invited to the pre-workshop networking dinner. Deadline to apply for a travel grant is October 9th. Please apply online via UCHRI’s FastApps application system. For more information about the pre-workshop networking dinner\, please visit our networking page. \nSCHEDULE: HUMANISTS@WORK GRADUATE CAREER WORKSHOP & NETWORKING DINNER \nNOVEMBER 8-9\, 2015 | SACRAMENTO\, CA \n8:00AM | BREAKFAST \nHot breakfast bar with–yes\, you guessed it–plenty of caffeinated beverages \n9:00AM | WELCOME AND INTRODUCTIONS \nKelly Anne Brown\, UCHRI’s Assistant Director \n9:15AM | THEORIZING OUR MOMENT: WHAT HUMANISTS@WORK LOOK LIKE \nPart I of a two-part conversation moderated by the Humwork Graduate Student Advisory Committee and continuing the interactive\, DIY activities began in San Diego last year\, the Humwork grad committee will facilitate a conversation about issues such as: the possibilities for work outside/alongside academia\, graduate student education and support\, the general conditions of the humanities in higher education and society more generally\, and the role of gatherings like Humwork to intervene in the many structural\, cultural\, and practical issues surrounding humanities work. \n9:45AM | STORIES FROM THE FIELD \nUC Humanities PhDs share their stories as humanists@work in the world. Featuring: \nJ. Guevara\, Economic Development Manager for the City of Santa Cruz (PhD Literature\, UCSC\, 2012)\nAmy Jamgochian\, Academic Program Director\, Prison University Project (PhD Rhetoric\, UCB\, 2010)\nSusie Lundy\, Bay Area Program Director\, Youth Speaks (PhD Cultural Studies\, UCLA\, 2008)\nMarty Weis\, UC Davis English PhD\, 2015\nModerated by Simon Abramowitsch\, UC Davis English PhD and Humanists@Work Graduate Advisory Committee Member \n11:00AM | COFFEE/NETWORKING BREAK \n11:30AM | RÉSUMÉ REDUX: USING THE WRITING PROCESS AS A TOOL FOR CAREER DISCOVERY \nThe quest to create a replicable résumé development framework for humanities PhD candidates exploring a variety of careers continues! \nSince UCHRI’s February 2015 Humanists@Work workshop in San Diego\, Jared Redick of The Résumé Studio\, Kelly Anne Brown of UCHRI\, and selected UC humanists have been hard at work refining the process of presenting academic experience within the boundaries of a non-academic résumé. \nThis iteration of the workshop builds on the work of past presentations at Berkeley and San Diego\, focusing on how the writing process is being used as a tool for career discovery. Highlights include: \nA glimpse into how current PhD candidates and other graduate students have used the Job Description Analysis to translate their academic and dissertation experience into transferable skills useful within a reimagined résumé.\nBefore and after samples from graduate students who have gone the distance and turned their backgrounds into marketable résumés\, several resulting in new jobs this year.\nUnsurprisingly\, the work focuses on the student’s ability to convert academic activities into work experience that resonates beyond academia. Sounds easier than it is—which is why this series continues. UCLA PhD candidate Dana Linda joins the discussion to share her own experience\, as well as insights she learned while going through the process. \nImportant: \nPlease be sure you have watched the full 1.5 hour Berkeley video before you attend\, otherwise you may not gain the full value of this presentation.\nBring your current CV and/or résumé attempt (no matter how rough\, printed or on your laptop) so it’s on hand for ideas you may capture along the way.\nJared Redick\, The Résumé Studio and Dana Linda\, UCLA Comparative Literature PhD Candidate \n12:45PM | LUNCH \nIn addition to a hot lunch\, participants will have access to view Al Farrow’s Bay Area Figurative Drawings in the special collections gallery. \n1:45PM | BREAKOUT SESSIONS \nSESSION A\nSKETCHING YOUR CAREER’S UNIQUE CHRONOLOGY IN THE RÉSUMÉ CONTEXT \nCROCKER ATRIUM\nJared Redick\, The Résumé Studio \nWorking one-on-one with University of California PhD candidates and other graduate students this year\, one of the surprising elements Jared Redick has discovered has been the complex task of distilling the hierarchy of one’s career within the limitations of the chronological résumé. \nAnd chronological résumés are essential in the world beyond academia because functional résumés—while sometimes useful—are frequently regarded by recruiters and hiring managers as tools for masking periods of unemployment. \nIn this breakout session\, Dana Linda joins Jared Redick for focused table work that utilizes the simplicity of 3×5 cards to wire frame your experience (institution names\, job titles\, dates\, buckets) in a way that is readily understood by recruiters and hiring managers. This breakout is intended for people who are\, or will soon be\, deeply focused on the résumé development process. \nImportant: \nBring a stack of your own 3×5 cards for table work. These are essential to the exercise we’ll be doing\, and we will not have enough to give to everyone.\nBring your current CV and/or résumé attempt\, no matter how rough\, printed or on your laptop.\nPlease be sure you have watched the 1.5 hour Berkeley video before you attend\, otherwise you may not gain the full value of this breakout session.\nSESSION B\nDECODING WORK: A VALUES-BASED APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING CAREERS FOR HUMANITIES PHDS \nCEMO MEETING SPACE\nAnnie Maxfield\, UCLA\nIn this session students will connect their unique strengths and value system to career trajectories by surveying how values are expressed through work\, organizations and industries. We will identify concrete UC-Humanities PhD career paths\, and discuss ways to “decode” jobs\, imagine possibilities\, and identify starting points. \n3:00PM | COFFEE/NETWORKING BREAK \n3:30PM | A MINDFUL INQUIRY INTO THE RIGHT KIND OF WORK \nLauri Mattenson\, UCLA Writing Programs\nMany of our assumptions about the job search are predetermined by the routines and rules of our educational institutions\, and accordingly\, we learn to package ourselves like products for sale to potential employers. If instead\, we regard ourselves as in-process and engage in mindful practices with an attitude of receptive non-judgement\, we can free ourselves from fixed notions of self and success. \nIn this participatory workshop\, we will practice “generative mindfulness” exercises designed to inspire greater insight into what might bring us true professional pleasure and fulfillment. \nMindful meditation is known to facilitate decision-making and cognitive flexibility and enhance well-being\, creativity\, social performance\, and health (Langer\, 1989; 2005; 2009)\, so a mindful inquiry into the right kind of work may help us conceptualize and create a career deeply aligned with our skills and values. \n4:30PM | PART II: THEORIZING OUR MOMENT \n5:30PM | CONCLUDING REMARKS

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:Ruth Wilson Gilmore: "Organized Abandonment and Organized Violence: Devolution and the Police"
DESCRIPTION:EVENT VIDEO:\n \nEVENT PHOTOS:\n \n  \nCITY ON A HILL PRESS ARTICLE:\n \nThe UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies invited Ruth Wilson Gilmore to UC Santa Cruz to discuss police violence and mass incarceration in a lecture called “Organized Abandonment & Organized Violence: Devolution and The Police.” Her discussion in the UCSC Music Recital Hall on Nov. 9 paralleled the theme of her prize-winning publication “Golden Gulag\,” a prescient examination of California prisons and the consequences of a punitive justice system. Continue Reading Article \n  \n\nEVENT INFO:\n“America locks up too many people for too many offenses\, jamming prisons\, ruining families and running up steep taxpayer bills. That’s the party line on mass incarceration heard from social critics for years\, but now it’s coming from a new chorus: police chiefs by the score.” –San Francisco Chronicle\, October 22\, 2015 \nOn November 9\, the UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz will examine the issue of police and prisons with a free public lecture by Ruth Wilson Gilmore. The title of her talk is “Organized Abandonment & Organized Violence: Devolution & the Police.” Feminist studies professor Bettina Aptheker\, co–chair of the UC Presidential Chair with literature professor Karen Yamashita\, explained why they decided to bring Gilmore to campus. \n“Several years ago\, Ruth Wilson Gilmore wrote a timely and significant book\, ‘Golden Gulag: Prisons\, Surplus\, Crisis\, and Opposition in Globalizing California\,’ published by the University of California Press\,” said Aptheker. “Gilmore\, a well-known public intellectual\, documents in this book the ways in which California embarked upon the largest prison-building project in its and the nation’s history. Her work critically examines the political and economic forces that combined to propel such an ominous course.” Aptheker added that despite a crime rate that has been steadily declining for decades\, California continues to incarcerate\, even in the face of federal court orders to reduce its overcrowded and repressive system. “Most affected by these rates of incarceration are men and women of color\,” Aptheker noted. Continue Reading \nRuth Wilson Gilmore is Professor of Earth & Environmental Sciences\, and American Studies at the Graduate Center\, CUNY. She has many honors and awards\, and has delivered invited lectures at universities and cultural institutions around the world. Among many publications\, her prize-winning book is Golden Gulag: Prisons\, Surplus\, Crisis\, and Opposition in Globalizing California (2007). Current projects include a second edition of Golden Gulag\, as well as several other book projects: Fatal Couplings: Essays on Motion\, Racial Capitalism\, and the Black Radical Tradition; and Big Things: Reconfigured Landscapes and the Infrastructure of Feeling. She is a member of the Executive Committee of the Institute for Research on the African Diaspora in the Americas and The Caribbean (IRADAC)\, and serves on the boards of many social justice\, cultural\, and scholarly formations in the US\, Europe\, and West Asia.

SUMMARY:UPDATED TIME: Amalia Mesa-Bains Talk & Film Screening of "Eduardo Carrillo: A Life of Engagement"
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 9\, 2015\n6 PM\, Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) 108 \nThe Institute of the Arts and Sciences and the Museo Eduardo Carrillo invite you to a talk by internationally renowned artist Amalia Mesa-Bains and a screening of the Museo’s new 30 minute documentary Eduardo Carrillo: A Life of Engagement. \nAmalia Mesa-Bains is an artist\, scholar\, curator\, and writer who has been involved in the Chicano artist movement since the 1960s. Dr. Mesa-Bains is a leading altar installation artist\, incorporating Chicano culture and folk traditions into her work. She was the curator for the traveling exhibition\,Ceremony of Memory\, and the regional committee chair (Northern California) for the exhibitionChicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation\, 1965-1985 (CARA). She also has written extensively on Chicano art. \nEduardo Carrillo was a founding faculty member at Oakes College at UC Santa Cruz\, beloved Professor of Art and a renowned painter and muralist. He came of age during the dynamic social change on the 1960s. His tenure at UCSC (1972-1997) began at a turning point on the campus; there was a commitment to become more socially conscious and representative of diversity. Mesa-Bains and Eduardo worked together on a project called the CALIFAS SEMINAR at the Mary Porter Sesnon Gallery\, Porter College\, UCSC in April\, 1982. Califas gathered Chicano/a artists to discuss the evolving role they played in society. It was a breakthrough event. \nFilmed over 4 years across California and in Baja California\, Mexico\, the award winning documentary\, A Life of Engagement\, documents the artist’s relationship with his Mexican cultural heritage as he negotiated the challenges first generation Americans faced during the tumultuous social changes of the 60s and 70s. It features commentary by Amalia Mesa- Bains. \nJoin us November 9 at 6 pm in Digital Art Research Center\, RM 108. The event is FREE and open to the public. Parking is available in the Performing Arts Lot for $4. \nThis program is cosponsored by the Chicano Latino Research Center. Institute programs are supported by the Division of the Arts and and our annual donors.

SUMMARY:Workshop with Miriam Posner: "How Did They Make That?"
DESCRIPTION:Directions in Digital Humanities presents:\nMiriam Posner\nUCLA \nHead-and-Shoulder Hunting in the Americas:\nExploring\nLobotomy’s Visual Culture \nWorkshop: How Did They Make That?\n\nThe catch-all term “digital project” can refer to a daunting array of technologies and methods. For a newcomer (or even an experienced practitioner)\, it can be hard to know where to start. In this presentation\, we’ll examine a range of digital projects to get a handle on what’s out there. Then I’ll share some simple principles for figuring out the sources and technologies that constitute a “project.” You can use these principles to model your own project\, or just to understand and evaluate someone else’s. \n\n  \nMiriam Posner is the Digital Humanities program coordinator and a member of the core DH faculty at the University of California\, Los Angeles. A film\, media\, and visual culture scholar by training\, she frequently writes on the history of science and technology. She is also a member of the executive council of the Association for Computers and the Humanities. \nMore details click here!
