SUMMARY:Symposium: Charting the Library's Future
DESCRIPTION:Program: \n10:00-10:30am\nWelcome and Opening Remarks by Chancellor George Blumenthal and University Librarian Elizabeth Cowell \n  \n10:30-12:00pm\nPanel Discussion \nMacKenzie Smith\, University Librarian at UC Davis\nExpanding Research Support in University Libraries \nAcademic libraries’ research support is inherently interdisciplinary (or omnidisciplinary) so they are uniquely positioned to expand those services to include common modern research tools and methods\, such as spatial and data science\, informatics and analytics\, writing and programming. Providing central\, democratically accessible facilities\, instruction\, and expert support for these essential modern research skills is a natural role for libraries while increasing their value to the universities they serve. \nGünter Waibel\, Associate Vice Provost and Executive Director of the California Digital Library\nThis Magic Moment: Are We Coming Together\, or Falling Apart? \nAbstract: What kind of a library does a globally connected faculty working on the grand challenges of our time need? The recent election has sparked a public debate about factual information\, the scientific method and intellectual freedom; it has also deepened the academy’s resolve to uphold those core values. At the same time\, our blue planet faces grand challenges that become tractable only through collective and collaborative action. Both faculty and librarians are striving to respond by working across traditional organizational and/or geopolitical boundaries. The UC system\, and the UC libraries within it\, are a microcosm of a community finding a collective response\, and a case-study in an experiment to go further together. (Examples illustrating these dynamics might came from the national response to safeguarding federal research data\, and the UC libraries strategy to realize our goal of a fully open access future.) \nJeffrey MacKie-Mason\, University Librarian at UC Berkeley\nBringing Together People\, Information and Technology: Connected Learning \nAstract: University libraries always have been providers of public goods and gateways to discovery. They amassed collections of millions of books and scholarly articles to share with all faculty and students\, who could not afford to do so individually. New learners coming through the doors had transcendent — often ecstatic — discovery experiences that fueled individual growth\, and social and scientific progress. We should continue to provide public goods to excite the passions and open the eyes\, but the information environment has changed drastically and so must the learning environments and experiences. We must create connected learning spaces as open-to-all gateways before students reach specialized labs and facilities limited to their choice of major. These spaces must connect people\, information and technology to support collaborative and active learning. The public goods we provide should include not just books and articles (and videos and maps and…) but also new information technologies most students can’t afford for themselves (e.g.\, virtual reality gear\, data visualization systems\, programmable 3-D scanners\, etc.). And we need to provide experts to help them find those head-exploding discoveries that open their eyes to the Age of Information. \n  \n12:00-1:00pm:\nLunch provided for all registered attendees \n  \n1:00-2:30pm:\nLightning Talks and Discussion sessions \nThe Changing Practices of Scholarly Work \nSylvanna Falcón\, Professor of Latin American and Latino Studies\nDanielle Crawford\, Graduate Student in Literature and former CART Fellow\nJody Greene\, Professor of Literature\, Feminist Studies\, and History of Consciousness\, and director of the Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning (CITL)\nChristy Caldwell\, Research Support Services Librarian

SUMMARY:Shahzad Bashir\, “Islamic Pasts and Futures: Conceptual Issues”
DESCRIPTION:This talk emerges from Professor Bashir’s current project\, Islamic Pasts and Futures: Conceptual Explorations\, a critique of the conceptualization of Islamic history in modern scholarship. Bashir suggests alternatives emphasizing multiple temporalities and engaging contemporary academic debates regarding language\, historiography\, and history on the basis of materials of Islamic provenance. \nShahzad Bashir is professor in Islamic Studies and Director of the Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies at Stanford University. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM.

SUMMARY:Mat Callahan\, “The Explosion of Deferred Dreams”
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The History of Consciousness\, The Center for Cultural Studies\, & UCSC University Library Special Collections & Archives\, with support from Logo’s Books. \nWith special musical guest Dry Days \nAs the fiftieth anniversary of the Summer of Love floods the media with debates and celebrations of music\, political movements\, “flower power\,” “acid rock\,” and “hippies”; author\, musician\, and native San Franciscan Mat Callahan’s new book\, The Explosion of Deferred Dreams: Musical Renaissance and Social Revolution in San Francisco\, 1965–1975 (PM Press\, 2017) offers a critical re-examination of the interwoven political and musical happenings in San Francisco in the Sixties. Callahan explores the dynamic links between the Black Panthers and Sly and the Family Stone\, the United Farm Workers and Santana\, the Indian Occupation of Alcatraz and the San Francisco Mime Troupe\, and the New Left and the counterculture. \nCallahan’s meticulous\, impassioned arguments both expose and reframe the political and social context for the San Francisco Sound and the vibrant subcultural uprisings with which it is associated. Using dozens of original interviews\, primary sources\, and personal experiences\, the author shows how the intense interplay of artistic and political movements put San Francisco\, briefly\, in the forefront of a worldwide revolutionary upsurge. \nA must-read for any musician\, historian\, or person who “was there” (or longed to have been)\, The Explosion of Deferred Dreams is substantive and provocative\, inviting us to reinvigorate our historical sense-making of an era that assumes a mythic role in the contemporary American zeitgeist. \nMat Callahan is a musician and author originally from San Francisco\, where he founded Komotion International. He is the author of three books\, Sex\, Death & the Angry Young Man\, Testimony\, and The Trouble with Music as well as the editor of Songs of Freedom: The James Connolly Songbook. He currently resides in Bern\, Switzerland.

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Patricia de Santana Pinho
DESCRIPTION:We Bring Home the Roots: African American Women Touring Brazil and Bearing their Nation\nPatricia de Santana Pinho\, Associate Professor\, UC Santa Cruz  \nThe talk presents a chapter of my nearly completed book manuscript Diaspora Detours: African American Roots Tourism in Brazil. Previous chapters examine the effects of national identities on the connections between black diaspora communities. In this chapter I analyze how gender impacts these transnational relations while simultaneously differentiating the experiences of female and male travelers. Analyzing why and how women travel is important in deconstructing the implicitly masculinist abstract tourist subject. At the same time\, by focusing on women travelers\, it is crucial not to confirm men as the norm that goes unexamined and unquestioned. While the chapter looks more closely at women\, it does so in order to examine how travel and tourism function as fundamentally gendered and embodied practices\, which in turn contribute to the gendering of the black diaspora. \n  \nPatricia de Santana Pinho\, Associate Professor in LALS\, is a Brazilian social scientist whose research focuses on topics of blackness\, whiteness\, racism\, anti-racism\, tourism\, and the black diaspora. She is author of Mama Africa: Reinventing Blackness in Bahia (Duke University Press\, 2010). \n  \nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Spring 2017 Schedule:\nMay 4th: Doris Leibetseder\, “QT Reproduction: Queen and Transgender Use of Assisted Reproductive Technologies”\nMay 17th: Susan O’Neal Stryker\, “What Transpires Now: Transgender History and the Future We Need”\nJune 1st: Patricia de Santana Pinho\, “We Bring Home the Roots: African American Women Touring Brazil and Bearing their Nation”

SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Angela Nguyen
DESCRIPTION:“Mom\, can you help me with my homework?” Identifying Tools and Conditions for Intergenerational Dialogue Among Southeast Asian Refugees and Their Children \nThe collective memories of the Southeast Asian diaspora are interwoven with histories of war and colonial violence that continue to be felt in everyday experiences as hauntings. Post-war generations are often without access to resources for contextualizing and deconstructing these lived realities. I discuss my reflexive process while interviewing my family about their experiences with the American-Vietnam War and how this ongoing dialogic process has transformed my relationships to my family and community\, as well as highlighted sociopolitical tensions within Vietnamese American communities. I identify possible tools for intergenerational dialogue and emphasize the need to engage with these loud silences to support communities displaced by war in negotiating “the ending that are not over” (Espiritu\, 2014). \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:Deanna Shemek: "Digital Isabella d’Este: New Renaissance Navigations"
DESCRIPTION:Digital Isabella d’Este: New Renaissance Navigations\nWhen you look at a piece of art in a museum do you ever wonder about the context? Where was the art originally hung? What did the room look like? Who were the people viewing the art? Did they listen to music as they viewed the art?\nPlease join us for Deanna Shemek’s Gary D. Licker Memorial Lecture as she discusses how she and her team are using Isabella d’Este’s personal correspondence to reconstruct Renaissance Italy. Using state of the art technology in virtual and augmented reality along with the work of numerous historians and researchers in the US and in Italy\, Deanna’s work is bringing a whole new meaning to the term bringing history to life. \n  \nIntrigued? Here is a short video about the project: \n \nIsabella d’Este Virtual Studiolo from Future Film Festival on Vimeo. \n  \nPlease RSVP here.
