SUMMARY:The Land Beneath Our Feet: A film by Sarita Siegel & Gregg Mitman
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nThe IHR Research Cluster on Race\, Violence\, Inequality\, and the Anthropocene presents \nThe Land Beneath Our Feet: A film by Sarita Siegel & Gregg Mitman \nThe Land Beneath Our Feet\, a film by Sarita Siegel & Gregg Mitman\, follows a young Liberian man\, uprooted by war\, who returns from the USA with never-before-seen footage of Liberia’s past. The uncovered footage is embraced as a national treasure. Depicting a 1926 corporate land grab\, it is also an explosive reminder of eroding land rights. In post-conflict Liberia\, individuals and communities are pitted against multinational corporations\, the government\, and each other in life-threatening disputes over land. What can this ghostly footage offer a nation\, as it debates radical land reforms that could empower communities to shape a more diverse\, stable\, and sustainable future? \nThe film showing will be followed by a conversation with Gregg Mitman & Donna Haraway. \nRSVP Here \nFor more information\, contact: mfernan3@ucsc.edu \nCo-sponsored by: Institute for Humanities Research\, Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, Center for Creative Ecologies\, Science and Justice Research Center\, and Center for Emerging Worlds \nClick here for Directions & Parking for the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) \n  \n\n  \nReading seminar with Dr. Gregg Mitman \nFilm\, Photography\, and the Scientific Record \nJanuary 10\, 2017 @ 11:30 am – 1:30 pm \nHumanities 1\, Room 210

SUMMARY:Film\, Photography\, and the Scientific Record
DESCRIPTION:The IHR Research Cluster on Race\, Violence\, Inequality\, and the Anthropocene presents \nFilm\, Photography\, and the Scientific Record\nA reading seminar with Dr. Gregg Mitman \nWe will read two chapters by Gregg Mitman and Faye Ginsburg from Documenting the World: Film\, Photography\, and the Scientific Record\, edited by Gregg Mitman and Kelley Wilder (University of Chicago Press\, 2016). Documenting the World concerns the material and social life of photographs and film made in the scientific quest to document the world. Mitman’s chapter investigates the many lives of a 1926 Harvard expedition film shot in Liberia; Ginsburg’s chapter explores the repurposing of Nazi medical films by disability activists. Both chapters examine what can happen when colonial and totalitarian impulses to collect\, classify\, and control are repurposed by those whose ancestors were once the objects of that documentary gaze. \nFor the readings and more information\, contact mfernan3@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Soma de Bourbon
DESCRIPTION:Parenting Binary Trans Children on the Edge of the Bay Area\nSoma de Bourbon\, Lecturer\, Feminist Studies \nParents feel urgency to mitigate the disproportionally high rates of depression and suicide among trans youth. There is evidence (Olson at al. 2016)that a gender-affirming environment can\, in part\, accomplish this. Many Bay Area families are gender supportive\, but is the larger Bay Area? I think we need to address the marginalization of binary trans youth of color within the non-binary movement in the Bay Area. Although the landscape of infinite gender holds radical potential for many\, it can shift\, and in some cases has shifted\, to a repressive space for some. As mother to a binary trans girl\, I watch her live in a liminal space-occupying a duality: acceptance as feminized girl when she is stealth and rejection for cissimilation when she is “out.” Both the revolutionary potential of the struggle to unbind the binary\, and its capacity to exclude individuals who pioneered its inception and continue to die for it each year\, binary trans women of color\, are issues I am interested in engaging. \n  \nSoma de Bourbon is an adjunct professor at SJSU\, De Anza College\, and UCSC. She received her Ph.D. from the History of Consciousness Department at UCSC and her B.A. from the Ethics Studies Department at UC Berkeley. Soma’s heritage is Blackfeet and French\, and she is the advisor to the Native American Student Organization at SJSU. \n  \nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Winter 2017 Schedule:\nJanuary 12th: Soma de Bourbon\, “Parenting BinaryTrans Children on the Edge of the Bay Area”\nFebruary 2nd: Mikki Stelder\, “Towards Other Scenes of speaking and Listening: Palestinian Anticolonial Queer Spatialities”\nMarch 2nd: Omid Mohamadi\, “The Iranian Women’s Movement: Rights and Difference”

SUMMARY:Northern California High School Ethics Bowl
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos: by Crystal Birns\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \n  \nWhat is an Ethics Bowl? \nThe Ethics Bowl is a collaborative yet competitive event\, more nuanced than debate\, in which teams are presented with a series of wide-ranging ethical dilemmas and are asked to analyze them; they are then judged on the basis of their analyses. An exciting tournament\, it is also a way for students to gain valuable insight into ethical and philosophical issues. According to Michael Steinmann\, director of the Stevens Institute High School Ethics Bowl\, the events promote intellectual\, personal\, and social growth. They deepen students’ understanding of the complexity of ethical issues; increase their sense of personal responsibility; and promote a model of rational\, civil discourse so essential to functioning democracies. \nDuring each round\, a moderator poses a question to two teams composed of five students and the competition follows a predetermined format encompassing team order and time limitations. All teams receive the cases and questions in fall so that they can prepare their responses with their coaches. The panel of judges includes not only those with philosophy backgrounds but businesspeople\, politicians\, and members of various professions in the community to underscore the fact that ethics is not simply an academic subject. We will also invite the press to attend. Each team will have the opportunity to compete in several rounds to advance to the semifinals and then the championship round. The winners of the competition (and their schools) will receive special recognition. \nThe ethical dilemmas used in a high school ethics bowl range from those particularly relevant to young students (questions about cheating\, plagiarism\, peer pressure\, use and abuse of social media\, the right to privacy\, relationship responsibilities) to political and social issues (free speech\, gun control\, eco-tourism) and bioethical issues (cloning\, parental consent). \nSchedule: \n7:45-8:00am – Judge’s Check-In (Humanities Room 210)\n8:00-8:45am – Team Check-In (Humanities Lecture Hall); Judge’s and Moderator’s Training\n8:45-8:55am – Welcome\n9:00-10:00am – Round 1\n10:15–11:15am – Round 2\n11:30-12:30pm – Round 3\n12:30-1:45pm – Lunch\n1:45-2:00pm – Announce Semi-Finalists\n2:00-3:00pm – Semi-Final Round\n3:15-4:15pm – Final Round \nNorthern California High School Ethics Bowl will take place on the UCSC campus on January 14\, 2017.\nPlease contact Kyle Robertson at kxrobert@ucsc.edu for further information.
