SUMMARY:Rethinking Labor Mobility and Precarity: A Seminar with Guy Standing\, Alejandro Grimson\, and Biao Xiang
DESCRIPTION:Precarity\, the experience of insecurity and constant risk of exclusion\, is central to the experience of many labor migrants and citizen-workers in our time. Session II of Non-citizenship\, UC Santa Cruz’s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Sawyer Seminar\, focuses on precarity\, labor mobility\, and denizenship (the status of being a denizen or inhabitant\, as opposed to a full citizen)\, concepts that highlight the tiered and sometimes overlapping spaces between citizen and non-citizen. Juan Poblete will moderate the seminar with Guy Standing\, Alejandro Grimson\, and Biao Xiang as they discuss migrants\, denizens\, and the precariat in Europe\, the Americas\, and Asia. This seminar\, while self-standing and based on pre-circulated readings\, is meant in preparation for our symposium\, “Labor Mobility and Precarity on a Global Scale\,” to be held Tuesday\, February 7\, 2017\, 12:00-5:30pm\, at the Stevenson Event Center. \n  \nPlease check back to access the pre-circulated readings. \n  \nLunch will be served. \n  \nPlease register here prior to attending the seminar. \n  \nAlejandro Grimson\, an expert on south-south migration\, is dean of the School of Social Sciences at Universidad Nacional de San Martín in Buenos Aires\, Argentina. He is the author of many books\, including Relatos de la diferencia y la igualdad: los bolivianos en Buenos Aires (Eudeba\, 1999) and Los límites de la cultura: crítica de las teorías de la identidad (Siglo XXI Argentina\, 2011)\, winner of the Latin American Studies Association’s Premio Iberoamericano for best book of the year. \nJuan Poblete is Professor of Literature and Co-principal Investigator of Non-citizenship\, UC Santa Cruz’s Andrew W.

SUMMARY:Labor Mobility and Precarity on a Global Scale: A Symposium with Guy Standing\, Alejandro Grimson\, and Biao Xiang (Non-citizenship Series)
DESCRIPTION:Event Videos:\n \nLabor Mobility and Precarity on a Global Scale: Guy Standing from IHR on Vimeo. \n \nLabor Mobility and Precarity on a Global Scale: Alejandro Grimson 2.7.17 from IHR on Vimeo. \n \nLabor Mobility and Precarity on a Global Scale: Biao Xiang from IHR on Vimeo. \n  \nEvent Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \nThis symposium explores how global labor mobility and rising precarity affect and connect the experiences of citizens and non-citizens. Precarity\, the experience of insecurity and constant risk of exclusion\, is central to the experience of many labor migrants and citizen-workers in our time. Today’s labor migrants are new denizens—residents or inhabitants who are not quite full members of society. They are incorporated into societies that desire their labor\, but reject their very presence. Meanwhile\, citizen-workers are exposed to new forms of vulnerability as social rights\, such as education\, health care\, and retirement\, are increasingly privatized\, made contingent\, or dissolved altogether. In such contexts\, a majority of British voters demand Brexit and Donald Trump is elected president with the mandate to “make America great again.” \nTo prepare for this symposium\, Guy Standing\, Alejandro Grimson\, and Biao Xiang will take part in a seminar on labor mobility and precarity on Monday\, February 6\, 12:00-2:00\, in Humanities 1\, Room 210. \n  \nPlease register here prior to attending the February 7th symposium. \n  \nSymposium Schedule:\n12:00-12:20pm – Lunch\n12:20-1:50pm – Guy Standing (School of Oriental & African Studies): “The Precariat: The New Denizens” + Q&A\n1:50-2:05pm – Coffee break\n2:05-3:35pm – Alejandro Grimson (Universidad Nacional de San Martín): “The Waste Product of Globalization’s Party” + Q&A\n3:35-3:50pm – Coffee break\n3:50-5:20pm – Biao Xiang (University of Oxford): “The Other Precariat: Notes from Asia” + Q&A \n  \nSpeakers:\nAlejandro Grimson\, an expert on south-south migration\, is dean of the School of Social Sciences at Universidad Nacional de San Martín in Buenos Aires\, Argentina.

SUMMARY:Faculty Research Lecture with Sandra Chung: “Language Through the Lens of Diversity”
DESCRIPTION:Academic Senate 51st Annual Faculty Research Lecture Honors:\nProfessor Sandra Chung \n  \n“Language Through the Lens of Diversity.” \nThe ease and efficiency with which children acquire their first language(s) reveals that the capacity to know and use language is deeply human. It also raises the possibility that all languages have the same design–universal characteristics that make language acquisition possible. Are these views challenged by the great diversity of the world’s languages? In this talk\, Sandra Chung explores this question from the perspective of Chamorro\, an understudied language spoken in Micronesia. She suggests that while language diversity is real\, language universals emerge when ‘small’ languages are investigated in the same depth as first-world languages. \n  \nAbout the Faculty Research Lecture: The Faculty Research Lecture started in 1967. Lecturers are nominated by the Committee on Faculty Research Lecture based on a distinguished record in research and asked to deliver a lecture upon a topic of their choice.

SUMMARY:Professor Emeritus Andrew Cohen: "Enhancing the Role of Pragmatics in Teacher Education"
DESCRIPTION:Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics Presents \nProfessor Emeritus Andrew Cohen\nEnhancing the Role of Pragmatics in Teacher Education \nWednesday\, February 8\n210 Humanities Bldg 1\n5:15PM \nLight refreshments will be served \nThe talk starts with the premise that for many target-language (TL) learners\, the actual learning process consists of the rote memorization of lots of vocabulary and grammar rules\, sometimes or even often without the knowledge of how to make appropriate use of this information in actual communicative situations. The talk will highlight certain specific areas in TL pragmatics that are teachable but often neglected in TL instruction\, as well as some of the challenges involved in teaching this information. The talk will also include brief comment regarding the assessment of the pragmatics that is taught and strategies for students in the learning and performance of pragmatics. The speaker has been studying his 12th TL (Mandarin) for the last five years\, so he can speak from experience about pragmatic failures.

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Kyuhyun Han
DESCRIPTION:Sewing the Forest like a state: Forest Management\, Wildlife Conservation\, and Center-Periphery Relations in Northeast China\, 1949 – 1965 \nMy research aims to counter the prevalent premise that Mao-era China (1945-1976) was devoid of environmental consciousness or concern with environmental protection\, and places Chinese policy in the context of the international development of environmental consciousness during that time. It will show the ways in which early Mao-Era Chinese scientists actively participated in and were influenced by the global discussion of pollution\, extinction\, natural conservation\, and biodiversity. It also traces incipient state-initiated conversation policies in the early 1960s. I will explore the ways in which center- periphery tensions and the role of local indigenous people reflected and altered state-initiated conversation policy\, which led to a devastating loss of biodiversity in Heilongjiang province. \n\n\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
