Passionately committed to social justice\, she identified strongly with the three great social movements of her time: socialism\, civil rights and feminism. They shaped her as an organizer\, intellectual\, and teacher who refused hierarchies while embracing and delighting in differences. She crossed boundaries wherever she encountered them—between teachers and students\, academics and activists\, young and old\, rich and poor\, gay and straight\, black and white. Her emphasis on commonalities was crucial to the success of the progressive communities she created and sustained throughout her life…”  Read more. \nRead Frantz’ obituary in the Santa Cruz Sentinel here.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: "For Marx"
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening Hosted by Socialsim / Postsocialism Research Cluster \n“For Marx” (2012)\nDirected by is Svetlana Baskova \n \n“While the presence of the New Left in the new Russian culture cannot be denied nor ignored this ideological direction produces at this moment more questions than answers. Baskova’s new film channels some of the most burning ones: can Marxism indeed be repeated in Russia? How might this new attempt deal with the earlier\, problematic incarnation? Who will be its new interpreters and how will they discern a new theory from practice? All these anxiety-producing questions\, raised vividly by For Marx\, make it contemporary\, controversial\, and one of the most worthwhile film experiences of 2012.” – quote from Polina Barskova\, Associate Professor of Russian Literature at Hampshire College

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Alex Moore
DESCRIPTION:Alex Moore \n“Captive Natures: Grotesque desire in the performative sculptures of Amber Hawk Swanson” \nIn this paper I examine two projects by the artist Amber Hawk Swanson\, Tilikum\, 2011 and Lolita\, 2013. Through a process of radical identification with the captive Orca whales Tilikum and Lolita\, Hawk Swanson explores the ethics of aquatic theme park performances. I argue that the grotesque sculptures make visible the violence done to both humans and Orcas in the conceptions of nature\, culture\, and relationship manifested in the Shamu spectacle. \n\n  \nFriday Forum Winter 2015 Schedule \nFridays\, 12:30 – 2:00pm\nHumanities 1\, Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities. Join us for light refreshments and weekly presentations by your fellow graduate students. \nJanuary 15- James Beneda\, Politics\nJanuary 22- Alex Moore\, HAVC\nJanuary 29- Whitney Devos\, Literature\nFebruary 5- Sophia Magnone\, Literature\nFebruary 12- Andrei Tcacenco\, History\nFebruary 19- Amanda Reyes\, History & Consciousness\nFebruary 26- Keith Spencer\, Literature\nMarch 4- Laura Harrison\, Sociology\nMarch 11- Bristol Cave La-Costa\, History
