SUMMARY:Linking Citizenship\, Migration\, Labor\, Border\, and Carceral Studies: A Seminar with Bridget Anderson
DESCRIPTION:How\, when\, where\, and why do citizenship\, migration\, labor\, border\, and carceral studies converge? What happens when we put these fields in dialogue with one another? Why the distinction between migration studies and refugee studies? When do forced migration and labor migration overlap and when are they different? Who is a “migrant\,” “refugee\,” “citizen\,” and “worker”? What is the difference between prisoner and detainee? Between citizen and denizen? Over 2016-17\, scholars at UC Santa Cruz involved with Non-citizenship\, our Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture\, will grapple with these questions as we reflect on and link our Sawyer Seminar’s 3 themes: forced migration\, labor mobility and precarity\, and the fluidity of status. Bridget Anderson\, Professor of Migration and Citizenship and Deputy Director of the Centre on Migration\, Policy and Society at the University of Oxford\, helps kick off our discussion by leading a seminar for UC Santa Cruz faculty\, staff\, and students on key and emerging questions and concerns in citizenship\, migration\, labor\, border\, and carceral studies. \nEmily Mitchell-Eaton\, Andrew W.

SUMMARY:Micah Perks: "What Becomes Us"
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate the launch of this wonderfully consuming new novel from local author\, professor\, and co-director of UCSC’s creative writing program Micah Perks. Following a near-fatal accident\, Evie\, a mild-mannered\, pregnant school teacher\, abandons her controlling husband and flees California for the wilds of western New York. She rents a farm house on a dead end road in a close-knit community that is divided by local colonial history\, a story that goes deep to the roots of the American conscience—and when she begins teaching at the local high school\, Evie herself becomes obsessed with The Captivity and Restoration of Mary Rowlandson\, the first book written by a woman in the Americas that details Rowlandson’s captivity during King Philip’s War in the seventeenth century. As Mary Rowlandson’s insatiable hunger begins to fill Evie’s dreams\, Evie wonders if she may actually be haunted. At the same time\, Evie’s connections to her new community begin to simmer\, and as she grows more pregnant\, her desires and hunger grow out of control\, threatening to destroy her new world. Ten years in the making\, What Becomes Us will hold you to the last page with its unforgettable cast and story. \n“Micah Perks’ book has everything a reader could hope for — her language is lively\, her characters appealing. Set in a storied landscape\, with themes of independence and community. Romance! History! Food! Plus a tale to tell and some surprising people to tell it. There is real magic here. Micah magic! Completely original\, completely delightful.”  –Karen Joy Fowler\, author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves \n“I’ve been obsessed with Mary Rowlandson for 20 years\, and was delighted to find that Micah Perks writes about her with fireworks. This is a warm\, wild\, hilarious\, eccentric and moving book.”  –Lauren Groff\, author of Fates and Furies and Arcadia \nMicah Perks grew up in a log cabin on a commune in the Adirondack wilderness. She is the author of a novel\, We Are Gathered Here\, a memoir\, Pagan Time\, and a long personal essay\, Alone In The Woods: Cheryl Strayed\, My Daughter and Me. Her short stories and essays have won five Pushcart Prize nominations and appeared in Epoch\, Zyzzyva\, Tin House\, The Toast\, OZY and The Rumpus\, amongst many journals and anthologies. Excerpts of What Becomes Us won a National Endowment for the Arts grant and The New Guard Machigonne 2014 Fiction Prize. She received her BA and MFA from Cornell University and now lives with her family in Santa Cruz where she co-directs the creative writing program at UCSC.

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Jennifer Chang
DESCRIPTION:Poet and scholar Jennifer Chang was born in New Jersey. She is a Henry Hoyns Fellow at the University of Virginia\, where she is a PhD candidate. Chang’s lyrical poems often explore the shifting boundaries between the outer world and the self. Chang’s debut poetry collection\, The History of Anonymity (2008)\, was selected for the Virginia Quarterly Review’s Poetry Series and was a finalist for the Shenandoah/ Glasgow Prize for Emerging Writers. Speaking to the “emotional landscapes” of myths and fairy tales that surface occasionally in her poems\, Chang stated in a 2008 interview on Critical Mass (the blog of the National Book Critics Circle board of directors): “As a scholar\, I don’t trust autobiography\, and as a lyric poet\, I don’t trust narrative: both enforce a coherence that reveals more about the writer’s motives at the moment rather than the life or story being told. What I do trust is mystery; I trust confusion.”Chang co-chairs the advisory board of Kundiman\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the support and promotion of Asian American poetry. She lives in Charlottesville\, Virginia. \nLiving Writers is a series of events that are free to students and the public\, and happens every Thursday night from 6-7:45pm in the Humanities Lecture Hall\, room 206. This series will be focusing on fiction writers as well as filmmakers. It’s going to be an exciting series and we hope to see you there!  For more details\, please email us at cwintern@gmail.com \n10/13 experimental memoirist Michelle Tea\, author most recently of the apocalyptic memoir Black Wave \n10/20 novelist Alfredo Vea\, author most recently of The Mexican Flyboy\, about a Latino super hero who goes back in time to save historical heroes from painful deaths \n10/27 poet and Pulitzer prize finalist Elizabeth Willis \n  \n11/10 fiction and non-fiction writer Peter Orner\, author most recently of Am I Alone Here\, a memoir-essay hybrid about living to read/reading to live \nReadings sponsored by The Humanities Division\, The Porter Hitchcock Poetry Fund\, The Literature Department and Poets and Writers Inc.

SUMMARY:Bridget Anderson: The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly: Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion (Non-citizenship series)
DESCRIPTION:The Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research present\nLeading labor and migration scholar\, Bridget Anderson\, for the inaugural event in a series of events on Non-citizenship\, our 2016-17 Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture.. \n \nBridget Anderson: The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly: Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion (Non-citizenship series) 10.6.16 from IHR on Vimeo \nEVENT PHOTOS: by Steve Kurtz\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nIn her keynote address\, “The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly:  Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion\,” Professor Anderson explores citizenship as both a legal status and moral claim. She examines what attention to debates about migration exposes about the nature of the “good citizen” and the rise of the worker citizen. Rather than seeing migrants and citizens as competitors for the privileges of membership\, she argues for the importance of politics that are attentive to the connections between the non-citizen migrant and the “failed citizen” on welfare or with a criminal record.  This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. \nSylvanna Falcón\, associate professor of Latin American and Latino Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, will facilitate the discussion following Professor Anderson’s remarks. \nPhoto exhibit Expulsion: Stories of Displacement from Colombia\, India\, Mexico and the United States\, co-curated by Claudia Maria Lopez\, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar Graduate Student Fellow. \nBridget Anderson is Professor of Migration and Citizenship and Deputy Director at the Centre on Migration\, Policy and Society at the University of Oxford. She is the author of numerous publications\, including Us and Them? The Dangerous Politics of Immigration Controls (Oxford University Press\, 2013) and Doing the Dirty Work? The Global Politics of Domestic Labour (Zed Books\, 2000). Exploring the tension between labor market flexibilities and citizenship rights\, she has pioneered an understanding of the functions of immigration in key labor market sectors. Her interest in labor demand has meant an engagement with debates about trafficking\, modern day slavery\, state enforcement\, and deportation. She is particularly concerned with the ways immigration controls increasingly impact citizens and migrants alike. \nLocation:\nSanta Cruz Museum of Art and History (705 Front Street\, Santa Cruz) \nEvent details:\nReception at 6:30pm / Lecture at 7:00pm \nAdmission:\nFree and open to the public\, but attendees are asked to register in advance. \nREGISTER HERE \nOther Events with Bridget Anderson\nFriday\, September 16\, 11:00am-1:00pm\, Charles E.

Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture. Linking citizenship\, migration\, border\, labor\, and carceral studies\, and juxtaposing spatial and social mobility and immobility\, this year-long series of events explores what it means to be a citizen and non-citizen in a world made by migrants\, refugees\, guest workers\, permanent residents\, asylum seekers\, slaves\, prisoners\, detainees\, the stateless\, and denizens (residents who do not hold the same rights as citizens). Non-citizenship is organized around three themes: “Forced Migration” (fall 2016)\, “Labor Mobility and Precarity” (winter 2017)\, and “Fluidity of Status: Migrants\, Citizens\, Denizens” (spring 2017). Click here to learn more.

SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquium: Akira Omaki
DESCRIPTION:Akira Omaki will be speaking on Developing incrementality: Grammar and parsing of wh-dependencies in children \nIt is well established in the adult psycholinguistics literature that our comprehension is incremental: based on partial sentence input\, the parser uses linguistic knowledge and multiple sources of information to assign interpretations. However\, it has largely remained unknown how\nsuch incremental processing mechanisms emerge during development\, or how the immature\nparsing mechanisms affect the course of grammar acquisition. In this talk\, I will present recent\nstudies in my lab that explore these questions for wh-dependencies. In the first part of the talk\, I\nwill discuss how the mis-adoption of wh-scope marking grammar in English-speaking children\n(Thornton\, 1990) could derive from incremental processing of wh-dependencies. I argue that\nwhile this is theoretically feasible\, the apparent scope-marking grammar may be a production-\nspecific phenomenon\, and that it does not result from a mis-set parameter\, at least in English. In\nthe second part of the talk\, I will explore how incremental mechanisms for wh-dependency\nprocessing develop through language experience. Our visual world eye-tracking studies show\nthat 5-year-old children do not complete wh-dependencies incrementally\, but incremental\ndependency processing emerges after production (but not comprehension) priming of such\ndependencies. I will discuss implications of these findings for theories of language acquisition\nand language processing. \nThe Linguistic department hosts colloquium talks by distinguished faculty from around the world. \nFall 2016 \nOct 21 & Oct 22: CUSP (California Universities Semantics & Pragmatics) \nNov 18: Kie Zuraw\, UCLA \nWinter 2017 \nFebruary 7: TBA \nMarch TBD: LASC: Linguistics at Santa Cruz \nSpring 2016 \nApril 14: Junko Ito\, UC Santa Cruz \nApril 28: Ashwini Deo\, Yale \nMay 26: Susan Lin\, UC Berkeley \nMay/June TBD: LURC: Linguistics Undergraduate Research Conference
