SUMMARY:New and Emerging Terms in Migration Studies: A Seminar with Nicholas De Genova
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Nicholas De Genova\, et. al’s “New Keywords: Migration and Borders”\, the International Organization for Migration’s Key Migration Terms\, and recent debates regarding the distinction between “refugee” and “migrant\,” this one-day seminar explores key and emerging terms in migration studies and the growing gap between vocabulary and lived reality.  It kicks off Borders and Belonging\, a series of events on human migration organized by the CLRC over the spring of 2016\, helps open Rethinking Migration\, a two-day conference that the CLRC will host May 6-7\, 2016\, and helps us prepare for Non-citizenship\, our 2016-17 Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Saywer Seminar. \nThis seminar is open to UCSC faculty and students\, although space is limited\, so attendees must register in advance.  Readings will circulate prior to the seminar.  \nPlease register for the seminar here. Registration will close on Friday\, March 25\, 2016. \nNicholas De Genova is one of the world’s leading migration scholars.  He is the author and editor of numerous publications\, among them\, The Deportation Regime:  Sovereignty\, Space\, and the Freedom of Movement (co-edited with Nathalie Peutz\, Duke University Press\, 2010)\, Racial Transformations:  Latinos and Asians Remaking the United States (Duke University Press\, 2006)\, Working the Boundaries:  Race\, Space\, and “Illegality” in Mexican Chicago (Duke University Press\, 2005)\, and “Migrant ‘Illegality’ and Deportability in Everyday Life” (Annual Review of Anthropology\, 2002).  His current projects explore migration\, race\, and postcoloniality in Europe.  He holds a permanent appointment as Reader in Urban Geography and directs a research group on spatial politics in the Department of Geography at King’s College London.

SUMMARY:Anne MacNeil: “A new breed of critical edition: the role of digital humanities in transforming music scholarship”
DESCRIPTION:Hands on (Digital) Humanities with Prof. Anne MacNeil \nAnne MacNeil will give a demonstration of her digital humanities project\, IDEA Music\, and the new software toolkit\, Prospect\, that powers it. In the last year\, MacNeil’s close collaboration with programmer Michael Newton (UNC Digital Innovation Lab) and other members of the DIL community in developing Prospect has resulted in a powerful platform that has transformed IDEA Music into a multi-dimensional\, multi-media publication that challenges the tradition concept of “critical edition”. The presentation will include a brief video from Michael Newton about his conceptualization of the data science underlying Prospect\, together with MacNeil’s demonstration of the project administrator’s role in configuring relational databases and visualizations and of the front-end user interface (GUI). Also included will be a description of Professor MacNeil’s work with bioinformatics specialists in developing a model for music analysis using a modified Waterman algorithm\, originally developed for analyzing amino acids. \nCo-sponsored by the Music Department\, Italian Studies\, and The Gary D. Licker Memorial Chair\, Cowell College \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Gayle Salamon: "Gender Essentialism and Eidetic Inquiry"
DESCRIPTION:This talk revisits the essentialism debates within feminism\, and reconsiders the impasse in which those debates landed. What understanding of “essence” was operative in those conversations about gender essentialism? And might there be a different way of thinking about the relation between essence and gender? I turn to singular and plural essences in Merleau-Ponty and Husserl’s concept of eidetic variation\, showing that that phenomenology offers an articulation of essence in which variation and temporal unfolding\, rather than fixity and atemporality\, are primary. The phenomenological concept of essence\, I will argue\, offers a way to reconsider essentialism that steers clear of the straits of bilogical determinism and social constructionism that have deadlocked previous conversations about gender and essence. \nAbout:\nGayle Salamon is an Associate Professor of English and Gender and Sexuality Studies at Princeton University. Research interests include phenomenology\, queer and trans theory\, feminist philosophy\, 20th Century Continental philosophy\, psychoanalysis\, and disability studies.

SUMMARY:Introducing Contemplative Approaches to Higher Education: A Public Roundtable with Leaders in the Field
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative pedagogy is an integrated approach to teaching and learning that sees education as a transformative process rather than simply a means of accumulating\ninformation. With an emphasis on curiosity\, collaboration\, engagement\, and student-centered learning\, contemplative approaches seek to cultivate thinkers and responders rather than consumers of knowledge. Practitioners forge links between traditional disciplinary wisdom and the environmental\, ethical\, and economic challenges facing humankind. \nThe goal of contemplative pedagogy\, as articulated by the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society\, is to foster “true community\, deeper insight\, sustainable living\, and a more just society.” \nFriday\, April 15 @ 2-4 pm\nPublic Roundtable on Contemplative Approaches in Higher Education\nMcHenry Library Room 4286\nThis roundtable brings together leaders in the field with expertise in diverse disciplines\, including the Humanities\, the Natural Sciences\, and Legal Studies. \nSaturday\, April 16 @ 9am-5pm\nContemplative Pedagogy Symposium\nA day-long Symposium will follow on Saturday\, April 16th. We’ll read central texts in the field of Contemplative Pedagogy and discuss them with our panel of experts. If you would like to participate in the symposium\, please email ihr@ucsc.edu. Click here for more info on the Symposium. \nVisitors\nRhonda Magee\, Professor of Law at the University of San Francisco\, School of Law\, and a teacher of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Her scholarly work focuses on race law and policy as well as on humanizing legal education and the practice of law. This effort aims to help law students and practitioners cope with pressure in order to be more successful and effective. A national leader in the movement to humanize law and legal education\, and an expert in contemplative pedagogy\, Professor Magee recently published “Contemplative Practices and the Renewal of Legal Education\,” New Directions for Teaching and Learning: Contemplative Studies in Higher Education\, no. 134\, (Jossey Bass\, 2013)\, 31.” Magee’s courses share a common theme of examining how law responds to the vulnerable in society. She is the author of numerous journal articles\, including “Educating Lawyers to Meditate?” (University of Missouri–Kansas City Law Review\, 2011)\, “Slavery as Immigration?” (University of San Francisco Law Review\, 2009)\, and “Competing Narratives\, Competing Jurisprudences: Are Law Schools Racist?” (University of San Francisco Law Review\, 2009). \n \nErin McCarthy\, Professor and Chair of Philosophy and Professor in Asian Studies\, St. Lawrence University. Dr. Erin McCarthy came to St. Lawrence in 2000. She teaches Asian\, feminist\, continental and comparative philosophy. Author of the book Ethics Embodied: Rethinking Selfhood through Continental\, Japanese and Feminist Philosophies (Lexington\, 2010)\, her work has been published in several anthologies and journals in both French and English and she regularly presents her scholarship both nationally and internationally. She was an inaugural recipient of the “Frederick P. Lenz Foundation Residential Fellowship for Buddhist Studies and American Culture and Values” at Naropa University in 2009. Dr. McCarthy sits on the Editorial board of the journal Comparative and Continental Philosophy and is Co-editor of the ASIANetwork Exchange: A journal for Asian Studies and the Liberal Arts. She has also served as Chair of the Board of Directors of ASIANetwork (a consortium of over 170 North American colleges). Currently\, her research interests are taking two directions – the first\, a project titled “Re-imagining Maternity\,”is a comparative philosophical re-thinking of the norms of maternity; and the second looks at the ways in which contemplative education can be enriched by incorporating feminist philosophies. \n \nPeter Grossenbacher\, Professor in Contemplative Education and Contemplative Psychology\, Naropa University. Professor Grossenbacher directs Naropa’s internationally known Consciousness Laboratory. In collaboration with students in the lab\, he conducts empirical research on meditation instruction\, worldview transformation\, and engagement with awareness. His research has been covered in the New York Times\, Smithsonian Magazine\, and Discover Magazine. Grossenbacher teaches courses in Perception\, Neuroscience\, Mindfulness Meditation\, Cognitive Psychology\, Personality\, and Research Methods. He previously conducted research on human attention at the National Institute of Mental Health\, and taught at the University of Oregon\, England’s University of Cambridge\, and American University in Washington\, D.C. A practitioner of meditation since 1980\, he speaks internationally on contemplative education\, synesthesia\, meditation\, and the brain. \nContemplative Approaches to Higher Education are some of the most exciting and fast-growing developments in post-secondary education in the US.\nTo see the kind of work being done by some of the leading national centers for Contemplative Approaches\, please visit the following websites: \nThe Association for Contemplative Mind in Higher Education         \nUniversity of Virginia Contemplative Sciences Center                      \nBrown University Contemplative Studies Initiative                           \nUniversity of Michigan Program in Creativity and Consciousness Studies       \nNaropa University Contemplative Education Program                       \nSponsors\nInstitute for Humanities Research\, Contemplative Pedagogy Research Cluster\, Center for Public Philosophy\, Bill Ladusaw\, Literature Department\, Philosophy Department\, Graduate Division\, Porter College\, Oakes College\, College Eight\, Social Sciences Division.
