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:Casey O'Callaghan "The Multisensory Character of Perception"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: My thesis is that perceptual awareness itself is richly multisensory. I argue for this conclusion on the grounds that certain forms of multisensory perceptual experience are incompatible with the claim that each aspect of a perceptual experience is associated with some specific sensory modality or another. First\, I explicate what it is for some feature of a conscious perceptual episode to be associated with a given modality\, or to be modality specific\, since no clear criterion yet exists in the literature on multisensory perception. Then\, I argue based on philosophical and experimental evidence that some novel intermodal features are perceptible only through the coordinated use of multiple senses. The cases to which I appeal involve consciously perceptible feature instances and feature types that could not be perceptually experienced through the use of individual sense modalities working on their own or simply in parallel. Thus\, not every feature of a conscious perceptual episode is associated with some specific modality or another. Finally\, I offer an account of how to type perceptual experiences by modality that makes room for richly multisensory experiences. The key is rejecting the presumption that perceptual experiences apportion neatly into modality-specific components – an experience’s being visual does not preclude its being auditory. \nPre-reading: The Multisensory Character of Perception \nAbout: Casey O’Callaghan is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Washington University in St. Louis. Research Interests: Focus on philosophical questions about perception\, auditory perception and the nature of its objects.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum: Antoinette Wilson "Who Do You Think You Are: The Role of Racial Typicality on In-group Belonging and Stereotyping among African American Youth"
DESCRIPTION:Antoinette Wilson is a PhD candidate in Developmental Psychology. Her work investigates ways in which in-group members judge and validate racial authenticity (e.g.\, accusations of “acting White” and bias based on skin tone). Central to her research is exploring adolescents’ perceptions of  “Who fits in?”\, “Who is typical of our group”\, and “Who is ‘really’ one of us?” Her dissertation research focuses on how two aspects of racial-ethnic typicality– appearance and behavior–relate to variation in peer belonging and stereotyping among African American adolescents and young adults. Wilson’s talk describes findings from this work and is titled “Who Do You Think You Are: The Role of Racial Typicality on In-group Belonging and Stereotyping among African American Youth”. \nKeywords: Black identity\, Stereotyping\, Development\, In-group Belonging\n  \nThe Friday Forum is a graduate-run colloquium dedicated to the presentation and discussion of graduate student research. The series will be held weekly from 12:30pm to 2pm and will serve as a venue for graduate students in the Humanities\, Social Sciences\, and Arts divisions to share and develop their research. \nThis meeting will feature Antoinette Wilson (Psych) presenting her talk “Who Do You Think You Are: The Role of Racial Typicality on In-group Belonging and Stereotyping among African American Youth”. \nFor more info\, or to inquire about joining the roster of presenters for the 2015-16 academic year\, contact: fridayforum.ucsc@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Elliott Moreton: "Implicit and Explicit Learning of Phonotactic Patterns"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWhat properties are shared by the processes used for learning linguistic and non-linguistic patterns? What properties are different? Research on non-linguistic (mainly visual) pattern learning has found distinct implicit and explicit processes which have different computational architectures\, are facilitated by different experimental conditions\, and differ in sensitivity to different pattern types. Is the same true of phonological pattern learning (“artificial-language” experiments)? \nExperiment 1 asked whether implicit and explicit process are both available to human learners of a phonological pattern\, and whether the same experimental conditions favor one over the other as in non-linguistic pattern learning. The pattern involved binary gender assignment conditioned by a single phonological or semantic feature. Training conditions were manipulated in ways which\, in analogous non-linguistic experiments\, have been found to elicit more implicit or explicit learning. Participants’ responses were duly shifted towards one or the other\, as measured by self report of strategy\, report of the correct rule\, abruptness of learning curves\, acceleration of response times after the last error\, and bimodality of generalization performance. However\, the shift was not categorical; some implicit and some explicit learners were found in both experimental conditions. \nExperiment 2 asked whether explicit and implicit processes differed in sensitivity to structurally different patterns. In visual pattern learning\, explicit learning has typically been found to be more sensitive to two-feature exclusive-or patterns (red XOR triangle) than to three-feature family-resemblance patterns (at least two of red\, triangle\, or small)\, and a large modelling literature has been dedicated to accounting for the exclusive-or advantage. Conditions which favor implicit learning reduce or reverse the exclusive-or advantage (reviewed in Kurtz et al. 2013). Our experiment reversed both of these results: The family-resemblance pattern was the easier one\, and explicit learners showed a significantly stronger exclusive-or advantage. The reason for this surprising reversal seems to be that rule-seekers have a much harder time distinguishing relevant from irrelevant features in the exclusive-or condition compared to the family-resemblance condition. \nThese findings are discussed in the context of the larger question of how much linguistic and non-linguistic learning have in common (Moreton\, Pater\, & Pertsova\, in press)\, and in connection with the practical question of how to design and interpret phonological-learning experiments.\n \nElliott Moreton is Professor of Linguistics and Director of Graduate Studies and Admissions at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.\n  \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.
