SUMMARY:The Politics of Belonging: Moroccan Communist Jews\, French Empire\, and Nationalisms in the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the place of Jews in colonial Morocco from the interwar period though to independence (achieved in 1956) and beyond. It is structured around one central question: how Moroccan Jews see themselves as emancipated citizens in a future independent Moroccan state? From a period of ideological porosity during the interwar period\, through the anti-Semitic policies of the Vichy regime during WWII\, to the struggle for national liberation\, and finally\, the years of mass Jewish exodus and authoritarianism\, this talk pushes against teleological readings of Moroccan Jewish history and explores a previously obscured narrative of political possibility and radical roads not taken. \nAssistant Professor Alma Heckman\, History \nReception to Follow\nFor accessibitiy concerns\, contact pmreed@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Baizhu Chen
DESCRIPTION:Do Lenders Value the Right Characteristics?: Evidence from Peer-to-Peer Lending \nUsing a unique dataset of peer-to-peer lending with detailed loan and borrower information\, I study the following research questions:|1) What are the borrower characteristics that lenders value when choosing which loans to fund?; and (2) Do lenders value the correct characteristics with respect to minimizing to probability of default? In this online context\, the researcher observes everything that the lender does\, enabling unbiased estimation of the borrower characteristics that lenders favor. Estimating the characteristics that predict loan default is problematic due to selection at the funding state. I consider three potential strategies to address this issue:(1) restricting attention to borrower characteristics for which there is no evidence of selection in the first stage; (2) bounding the default estimates in the style of Lee (2009) and (3) exploiting variation in the probability of funding caused by contemporaneous competition on the platform. The evidence suggests that lenders give the correct weight to verified income levels\, underestimate the importance of verified education level and marital status\, and overestimate the importance of verified employment industry. \nFriday Forum Spring quarter 2017 Schedule: \nFridays 12:30-2pm\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. \nApril 21\, 2017: Jaclyn N.

SUMMARY:Ethics and the Language of Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Guevara (Philosophy) and Claudio Campagna (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, and Wildlife Conservation Society) assert that we need to radically rethink the meaning of conservation. “Sustainable Development” is a failed term\, and as a result\, the crisis of conservation is fundamentally a philosophical crisis with real-world implications. Their goal is to give a compelling and rigorous voice to an authentic ethical concern for Nature. Light refreshments and coffee will be served. \nRegistration link:\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:An Immersion into Dickensian Cocktails
DESCRIPTION:Charles Dickens was a unique and protean fellow; writer\, social commentator\, reporter\, actor\, father\, and much more.He was also a great lover of the table and glass\, a noteworthy bon vivant who created wondrous punches\, cups\, cocktails\, and other nourishing potations\, in novels as well as in daily life. This lecture will address Dickens’s skill with wine\, ale\, cider\, rum\, and gin\, interspersed with cocktail demonstrations\, allowing time to taste and ponder these delicious beverages\n\nBurke Owens is a long time Bay Area wine and food industry professional\, educator\, former sommelier\, punch aficionado\, and most  importantly\, parent of two UCSC alums. He now serves as senior pastor at the Petaluma United Methodist Church. His appreciation of food and wine\, of Dickens and the arts\, can all be traced back to his mother who cooked\, his father who sculpted\, and each one’s passionate love of literature.\n Watch Burke’s tutorial to learn how to prepare Cold Gin Punch\, a traditional Victorian beverage. {https://vimeo.com/49291630}\n\nRegistration link:\nREGISTER HERE
