SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Mikki Stelder
DESCRIPTION:Towards Other Scenes of Speaking and Listening: Palestinian Anticolonial Queer Spatialities\nMikki Stelder\, Visiting Scholar \nIn 2010\, Palestinian Queers for Boycott\, Divestment and Sanctions called upon international queer communities to support the Palestinian calls for BDS. My dissertation emerged as one way to respond. First\, I lay out the terms within which scholars and activists have engaged with PQBDS’ call and conditions of possibility within which responses emerged. Secondly\, I discuss an event that undermined the logics of settler colonialism and sexual imperialism in Israel/Palestine: In 2011\, three Palestinian queer groups engaged in email conversation with the International Gay and Lesbian Youth and Student Organization (IGLYO) about its decision to host its General Assembly in Tel Aviv. IGLYO went ahead with its plans\, but invited the groups to a public debate with an Israeli LGBT group cohosting the GA. The Palestinian groups refused and then publicized their email correspondence with IGLYO. Viewing these decisions as a politics of refusal\, I ask what other practices endure under Israeli occupation and alter the terms of Israel/Palestine engagement. \n  \nMikki Stelder is a PhD Candidate at the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis at the University of Amsterdam. She is a visiting scholar at UCSC in the History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies Department under the auspices and guidance of Gina Dent. She also teaches Feminist and Postcolonial Critique to choreography students at the School for New Dance Development\, Amsterdam. \n  \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:Christopher Newfield: "After the Great Mistake: Fixing Public Universities in the Trump Administration"
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Newfield’s (Professor of literature and American studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara) new book\, “The Great Mistake\,“ shows how privatization has weakened the educational quality and the budgetary stability of public universities and wrecked their true public mission.  But how can they recover during an administration that promises to accelerate privatization in every arena? Newfield argues that universities should use this period to rebuild their public purpose from the ground up\, with special attention to the non-college voters that allegedly turned the election towards Donald J. Trump. \nCo-Sponsored by the Center for Cultural Studies and the Santa Cruz Faculty Association.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Rachel Shellabarger
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Happy cows: Change and Sustainability in California Dairies  \nCalifornia dairy advertisements often feature happy cows\, but they mask social and environmental concerns over industrial milk production. Currently\, California dairy producers face a mix of challenges with severe drought\, regulation of methane emissions from cows\, uncertain changes in milk pricing policies\, and future implementation of more robust framework labor laws. These converging pressures challenge the industrial mode of dairy production utilized by many California dairies\, and may pave a path toward sustainable transformation. In this talk I focus on whose interests are represented as this heavily industrialized sector responds to social and environmental pressures\, and what this means for future sustainability of the sector. \nFriday Forum Winter quarter 2017 Schedule: \nFridays 12:20-2pm\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 27\, 2017: Sarah Papazoglakis\, Literature \nFebruary 03\, 2017: Rachel Shellabarger\, Environmental Studies \nFebruary 10\, 2017: Kyuhyun Han\, History \nFebruary 17\, 2017: Yulia Gilchinskaya\, Film & Digital Media \nFebruary 24\, 2017: Maggie Wander\, HAVC \nMarch 3\, 2017: Chessa Adsit-Morris\, HAVC
