How do we organize to build power on a neighborhood level today? In the new Trump Era\, cities like Los Angeles\, New York\, and San Francisco have rushed to reassure that their governments intend to oppose new restrictive federal immigration policies and to reinforce these cities’ status as Sanctuary Cities. But as homeless sweeps and evictions continue to endanger communities of working class and people of color\, we have to ask what does “sanctuary” mean in the era of rampant displacement? Author Erick Lyle suggests the path to resisting Trump Administration policies lies in doubling down on existing anti-gentrification efforts and organizing on a hyperlocal basis to seize community control of development\, housing\, planning\, and utilities. Join Lyle for a discussion of the possibilities for resistance in neighborhood organizing and for a look at the author’s work on Streetopia\, a massive anti-gentrification art fair that took place in San Francisco in 2012\, and brought together residents of the city’s Tenderloin with over a hundred artists and activists to actualize mutual aid-based community projects and to consider utopian aspiration for the city. \nErick Lyle is a writer\, curator\, musician\, and underground journalist. His work has appeared in Art in America\, Vice\, California Sunday Magazine\, Huck\, LA Weekly\, Brooklyn Rail\, and on NPR’s This American Life. Since 1991\, he has written\, edited\, and published the influential punk/activist/art/crime magazine\, SCAM\, and he was a frequent contributor to the arts and literary section of the San Francisco Bay Guardian. He has played on some 30 records by at least a dozen bands. He currently lives in Brooklyn\, NY.

Focusing on the campaign’s central text\, The Effect of Laws on Women’s Lives\, and activists’ testimonies\, I show how the Iranian women’s movement appeals to (and also challenges) multiple sites simultaneously\, and highlight and critique scholars who subscribe to a shared historical narrative suggesting that the current unity between secular and religious feminists is evidence that the women’s movement has superseded a century of internecine conflict and possibly ideology itself. One must also look at the internal logic of rights themselves and their ability to either imperil or strengthen social movements. I argue that two central facets of rights coupled with two historical development after the 1979 Revolution are responsible for the recent rights-based activism of Iranian feminist\, and conclude by thinking through the politics of difference within the movement\, especially claims of radical alterity that fray when confronted with the complex relationship between secularism and religion. \n  \nOmid Mohamadi earned his Ph.D. in Politics at UCSC with a Designated Emphasis in Feminist Studies. Focusing on contemporary Iran\, his research utilizes feminist and political theory to explore interrelated questions on religion\, secularism\, gender\, rights\, the state\, art\, and social movements. \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” URL:https://thi.ucsc.edu/event/feminist-studies-colloquium-series-omid-mohamadi-2/ LOCATION:Stevenson Fireside Lounge\, Humanites 1 University of California\, Santa Cruz Cowell College\, Santa Cruz\, CA\, 95064\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thi.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/FMST-Colloq-Winter-2017-Poster.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170302T151500 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170302T170000 DTSTAMP:20260409T041938 CREATED:20170227T202559Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170227T202559Z UID:10006472-1488467700-1488474000@thi.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:Audun Dahl: The Empirical Reality of Moral Reasoning DESCRIPTION:Many theories have viewed reason and reasoning as essential to making moral judgments. In contrast\, recent psychological proposals have contested the centrality of reasoning\, arguing that most or many moral judgments are based on automatic\, emotional reactions (sometimes termed “institutions\,” e.g. Greene\, 2013; Haidt 2013). These proposals are based on experiments taken to show that people are sometimes unable to justify their moral evaluations and that such evaluations are sensitive to factors presumed morally irrelevant. In this talk\, I will argue that these studies have a number of methodological and theoretical limitations. Research without these limitations\, for instance on responses to so-called trolley dilemmas\, indicates that reasoning plays important roles when individuals make moral judgments. Furthermore\, this research suggests a realistic view of moral reasoning that is not premised on the dichotomy between reasoning and emotional reactions. \nAbout:\nAudun Dahl is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at UC Santa Cruz. His research investigates early moral development. One line of work deals with the emergence of infant helping behavior and a second line deals with how young children acquire an aversion to harming others. His research combines naturalistic and experimental methods to study how infants’ everyday social interactions contribute to these developments.

Port cities around the globe\, in particular\, produced hybrid musical forms that inspired imitators and innovators elsewhere. From the end of World War I to the present\, new telecommunications technologies have served as instruments of power\, means of manufacturing consent\, and media of political and commercial colonization\, while vernacular musics and recordings of political speeches and sermons have carried insurgent\, otherworldly visions in opposition to empire. While textuality\, printed media\, and visual culture conventionally receive more attention\, this daylong conference foregrounds soundscapes and the anticolonial audiopolitics of the Global South. \n10:00 AM\nMarc Matera (UC Santa Cruz) – Opening Remarks \n10:30 AM-12:15 PM\nAlejandra Bronfman (University of British Columbia)\n“Drums\, Mines\, Coils\, Voices: Histories of Media and Materiality”\n– Discussion Comments by Katherine Gordy (San Francisco State University) \n12:15 PM-1:30PM Lunch \n1:30 PM-3:15 PM\nMichael Denning (Yale University)\n“‘A Noisy Heaven and a Syncopated Earth’: The Transcolonial Reverberations of Vernacular Phonograph Music”\n– Discussion Comments by Eric Porter (UC Santa Cruz) \n3:30 PM-5:00 PM\nClosing Roundtable with Michael Denning\, Alejandra Bronfman\, Eric Porter\, and David Anthony (UC Santa Cruz) \nFor more information\, contact sjetha@ucsc.edu URL:https://thi.ucsc.edu/event/the-center-for-emerging-worlds-presents-subversive-sounds-music-and-politics-of-the-global-south-2/ LOCATION:Humanities 2\, Room 359 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thi.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Subversive-Sounds.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170303T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170303T133000 DTSTAMP:20260409T041938 CREATED:20170130T204228Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170130T204228Z UID:10005333-1488542400-1488547800@thi.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Chessa Adsit-Morries DESCRIPTION:Creative Ecologies of Practice: Collaborative Agential Modes of Eco-Aesthetic Pedagogy \nThis presentation will discuss two collaborative environmental art projects aimed at creating experimental and experiential trans-disciplinary pedagogical practices. Both projects are examples of “creative ecologies of practice” enabling and requiring multiple modes of thought\, multiple modes of encounter\, and multiple modes of pedagogy. They are imaginative and speculative\, require resonance and creative response\, and include practices and discourses of eco-aesthetics to foster sites of refuge\, sites of agency and cities response-ablitiy. They enable collaborative inquires into urgent social\, political and ecological challenges\, exploring elements that help to activate\, integrate and support collaborative endeavors that challenge current (neoliberal capitalistic) representations\, foster (multi species) agency and create new knowledge(s). \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.

Tickets are free and limited to UCSC affiliates. They will be available via Brown Paper Tickets. (One ticket reservation per UCSC email.) The players describe the performance this way: “​Shakespeare’s stories take place in a tumultuous world full of unrequited love\, treachery\, passion\, war\, mistaken identity\, political intrigue and\, sometimes\, magic. In our shows\, we strive to inhabit that world and to play characters who go through similar adventures and emotions. We don’t know in advance if the show will be a romantic comedy or a tragedy\, or some of both. But we do know that it will be completely improvised. Each show is unique\, the audience joining us on the journey to discover what story lies in wait for our merry players…huzzah!” URL:https://thi.ucsc.edu/event/improvised-shakespeare-2/ LOCATION:Center Stage\, Downtown Santa Cruz END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
