SUMMARY:Letters to Memory: A Reading by Karen Tei Yamashita
DESCRIPTION:The Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Department presents: \nLetters to Memory\nfeaturing a reading by Karen Tei Yamashita with remarks by Alice Yang and Christine Hong \nLetters to Memory is an excursion through the Japanese mass incarceration during World War II using archival materials from the Yamashita family as well as a series of epistolary conversations with composite characters representing a range of academic specialties. Historians\, anthropologists\, classicists—their disciplines\, and Yamashita’s engagement with them\, are a way for her to explore various aspects of the mass incarceration and to expand its meaning beyond her family\, and our borders\, to ideas of debt\, forgiveness\, civil rights\, orientalism\, and community. \nAbout the Author: Karen Tei Yamashita is a Professor of Literature and Critical Race & Ethnic Studies at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Yamashita is the author of Letters to Memory\, Through the Arc of the Rain Forest\, Brazil-Maru\, Tropic of Orange\, Circle K Cycles\, I Hotel\, and Anime Wong\, all published by Coffee House Press. I Hotel was selected as a finalist for the National Book Award and awarded the California Book Award\, the American Book Award\, the Asian/Pacific American Librarians Association Award\, and the Association for Asian American Studies Book Award. She has been a US Artists Ford Foundation Fellow and co-holder of the University of California Presidential Chair for Feminist & Critical Race & Ethnic Studies. \n\nMarch 12\, 2018\n5-:00-7:30pm\nFeminist Studies Library\nHumanities 1\, Room 316

SUMMARY:IPAs are like a Hoppy Craft Beer: Acquiring a Taste for Task-based Language Teaching and Integrated Performance Assessments
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics is pleased to present: \n“IPAs are Like a Hoppy Craft Beer: Acquiring a Taste for Task-based Language Teaching and Integrated Performance Assessments” \nJill Pellettieri\, Ph.D. \nThis workshop focuses on the Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) as simply one specific model of task-based language learning and assessment. Like the hoppy beer\, it pairs well in some settings but not in others. We will critically examine the IPA with an eye towards identifying its strengths and weaknesses as a tool for assessment in university language courses and programs. Participants will learn general principles for designing authentic\, integrated language tasks and specific guidelines for modifying and adapting the ACTFL IPA for their language courses. It is unclear at this time whether we will actually be sampling craft brews. \n  \nJill Pellettieri is an Associate Professor of Spanish and chair of the Department of Modern Languages & Literatures at Santa Clara University. She received her Ph.D. in Spanish applied linguistics with a Designated Emphasis in Second Language Acquisition from the University of California\, Davis. Her areas of specialization include oral and computer-mediated interaction\, task-based language learning\, and community-based learning. Prior to joining the faculty at SCU\, she was an Associate Professor of Spanish\, Graduate TA trainer and supervisor\, and chair of the Dept. of World Languages at Cal State San Marcos. She has published several articles and book chapters in her areas of specialization\, and she has authored and coauthored several textbooks for the teaching of Spanish at the university level\, including Palabra abierta\, an advanced composition text\, and Rumbos\, a textbook for intermediate Spanish.

SUMMARY:And Then They Came for Us: "From the Incarceration of Japanese Americans to the Travel Ban"
DESCRIPTION:Seventy-five years ago\, Executive Order 9066 paved the way to the profound violation of constitutional rights that resulted in the forced incarceration of 120\,000 Japanese Americans.  “And Then They Came for Us” brings history into the present\, retelling this difficult story and following Japanese American activists as they speak out against the Muslim registry and travel ban.  Knowing our history is the first step to ensuring we do not repeat it.  “And Then They Came for Us” is a cautionary and inspiring tale for these dark times. Part of the Humanities Institute’s Freedom and Race Series. \nPresented by The Humanities Institute and Cowell College. Co-sponsored by the Office for Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, CRES\, Stevenson College\, the History Department\, and McHenry Library. \nDue to overwhelming interest\, this event is SOLD OUT. We hope to see you at another event soon!  \nFilm screening and panel discussion. \n6:40 pm – Doors open \n7:00 pm – program begins \nParking and directions to the Del Mar Theater here \nIf you have disability-related needs\, please contact The Humanities Institute at thi@ucsc.edu or call 831-459-1274. \nFeaturing: \nAbby Ginzberg – Director “And Then They Came for Us” \nDonald K. Tamaki – Managing Partner of Minami Tamaki \nAmmad Rafiqi – Civil rights attorney with the Council on American Islamic Relations \nQ & A moderated by Alice Yang – History Professor\, UC Santa Cruz \nAbby Ginzberg is a Peabody-winning producer and director who has been making award-winning documentaries about race and social justice for the past 30 years. Her most recent film\, “And Then They Came for Us” has screened at film festivals across the country. Agents of Change\, co-directed with Frank Dawson\, tells the story of the black-led student protest movement of the late 1960’s on college campuses. It will be broadcast on America Reframed in Feb\, 2018. \nHer film Soft Vengeance: Albie Sachs and the New South Africa won a Peabody award in 2015 and has screened at film festivals around the world\, winning four audience awards for Best Documentary. The Barber of Birmingham\, (Consulting Producer)\, was nominated for an Oscar in the short doc category in 2012. \nDonald K. Tamaki is the Managing Partner of Minami Tamaki LLP in San Francisco. In 1983 to 1985\, he served on the legal team which reopened the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case of Fred Korematsu\, overturning his criminal convictions for refusing to be interned. The reopening was based on newly discovered evidence from the Justice Department\, War Department\, Navy\, F.B.I.\, and F.C.C. admitting that Japanese Americans had committed no wrong and posed no threat. Other Justice Department memoranda characterized the Army’s claims that Japanese Americans were spying as “intentional falsehoods.” These official reports were never presented to the Supreme Court\, having been intentionally suppressed\, altered and destroyed pursuant to the orders of high government officials so as to manipulate the outcome of the Korematsu decision. Mr. Tamaki graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UC Berkeley in 1973 and received his J.D. from Berkeley in 1976. Upon graduation\, he practiced poverty and civil rights law in San Jose and there\, he co- founded the Asian Law Alliance\, a public interest law firm which has provided representation and advocacy for thousands of low-income Asian Americans in Santa Clara County\, and is a past Executive Director of the Asian Law Caucus in San Francisco\, the nation’s first public interest law firm representing Asian Americans in civil rights and poverty law cases. \nAmmad Rafiqi is a civil rights attorney with the Council on American Islamic Relations chapter of the San Francisco Bay Area. As the office’s Civil Rights and Legal Services Coordinator\, he assists individuals facing structural and private discrimination\, hate crimes\, law enforcement harassment/surveillance as well as documenting and writing reports.
