It was after a call from one of our Colombian Laureates\, asking for help to strengthen their regional network\, that we decided to bring Laureates from Latin America and the Caribbean together for the first time. Since it was such an important and fruitful meeting\, this meeting was followed by regional meetings for Laureates in Africa and the Middle East in 2014\, in Asia in 2015\, and\, in 2016\, Laureates in Europe. The meeting of North American Right Livelihood Award Laureates will be the fifth regional conference. In times when safe spaces for action are shrinking for civil society all over the world\, these meetings provide an enabling environment for important actors toward a more sustainable and peaceful world. Award recipients have been able to share struggles\, exchange ideas\, strengthen networks of collaboration\, and engage more deeply with change makers and communities local to the areas where the meetings have been held.\n\nAdd strength to change-makers by supporting this conference \nSince its founding by Jakob von Uexkull\, Individual donations have been the backbone of the Right Livelihood Award. Institutional donors also help to support the Award. If you would like to contribute to this meeting of courageous people and organisations in North America that have found practical solutions to the root causes of global problems\, please visit the ‘Donate‘ section. \nMark your support: “Regional conf.\, Santa Cruz” \n  \nContact information \nKajsa Övergaard\nSenior Programme Director\nRight Livelihood Award Foundation\nkajsa@rightlivelihood.org\n+46-8-7020340 \nDavid Shaw\nCoordinator\, RLC Campus Santa Cruz\nCo-Director\, Common Ground Center\nUCSC Kresge College\ndaveshaw@ucsc.edu\n+1-831-222-0253

SUMMARY:Jennifer Doyle: "Harassment & the Unravelling of the Queer Commons"
DESCRIPTION:This talk will attempt to speak to the difficulty of this moment for queer/feminist theorists—for teachers\, students and staff who live and work with harassment\, with forms of misogyny that are so embedded in professional life as\, in some ways\, to feel synonymous with it. This work is a return to a scene many of us have never left\, but which critical formations tend to represent as having passed: super-sexual political writing calling for openness against an intolerable future. \nJennifer Doyle is a Professor of English at UC Riverside. \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. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Jennifer Kelly: “Subjection and Performance: Tourism\, Witnessing\, and Acts of Refusal in Palestine”
DESCRIPTION:Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Program Presents:  \n“Subjection and Performance: Tourism\, Witnessing\, and Acts of Refusal in Palestine” \nDrawing from multi-sited ethnographic research on solidarity tours in Palestine\, in this talk Jennifer Kelly shows how Palestinian solidarity tour guides reject performing subjection in an industry that treats the recitation of subjection as a prerequisite. On solidarity tours\, Palestinians are expected to rehearse their displacement and provide evidence of their dispossession against a constellation of U.S. and Israeli state sanctioned narratives that have rendered them unreliable narrators. Kelly shows how Palestinian tour guides disrupt tourist expectations by refusing to perform subjection for the tourist gaze. In alternative performances of pleasure and through acts of “hanging out\,” Palestinian tour guides intervene in tourist expectations of performances of trauma and instead ask tourists to confront the violences of their own desire in Palestine. \nJennifer Kelly is a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the Department of Asian American Studies.

SUMMARY:Living Writers Series: Carmen Giménez-Smith & giovanni singleton
DESCRIPTION:Born in New York\, poet Carmen Giménez Smith earned a BA in English from San Jose State University and an MFA in creative writing from the University of Iowa. She is the author of six collections of poetry\, including Cruel Futures (City Lights\, 2018); Milk and Filth (2013)\, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award; and Goodbye\, Flicker (University of Massachusetts Press\, 2012)\, winner of the Juniper Prize for Poetry. She is the author of the memoir Bring Down the Little Birds: On Mothering\, Art\, Work\, and Everything Else (University of Arizona Press\, 2010)\, which received an American Book Award. She also coedited Angels of the Americlypse: New Latin@ Writing (Counterpath Press\, 2014). \ngiovanni singleton earned a BA from American University and an MFA from the New College of California. She is the author of the poetry collections AMERICAN LETTERS: works on paper (2017) and Ascension (2011)\, which won a California Book Award for Poetry. The book earned praise for its evocative use of white space\, silence\, and omissions. Poet Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon noted that singleton’s “poems are minimalist\, while engaging a concern for the historical\, the personal\, the spiritual\, as expanses… The buildup is slow\, and culminates as play\, in the clear space left as we literally watch an I disappear. Thereafter\, we find the blank page again. And time to make another poem.” \nSpring 2018 Living Writers:\nA Knotted Atlas: Writers on Entanglement \nThis spring quarter will feature eight contemporary writers who explore the knotted spaces and generative possibilities of entangled lives. Their works illuminate the historical enmeshment of cruel futures and hidden histories\, persons and things\, race and freedom\, kinship and loss\, and the human and non-human natural world. \nApril 12: Sherwin Bitsui \nApril 26: Leif Haven\, Jared Harvey \nMay 3: Courtney Kersten \nMay 17: Carmen Gimenez Smith and giovanni singleton \nMay 24: Sawako Nakayasu \nMay 31: Robin Coste Lewis \nJune 7: UCSC Creative Writing Program\, Undergraduate Student Reading \nHumanities Lecture Hall\, 206 \nThursdays\, 5:20-6:50 PM \nAll Readings are Free and Open to the Public \nContact: Chris Chen (cche75@ucsc.edu) \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Porter College George Hitchcock Poetry Endowment\, American Indian Resource Center\, El Centro\, Asian American/Pacific Islander Resource Center\, Laurie Sain Creative Writing Endowment\, the Chicano Latino Research Center\, Cowell College\, Bay Tree Bookstore\, the Siegfried B. and Elisabeth M.

SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquium: Meghan Sumner
DESCRIPTION:“Usage-based linguistic models and understanding human behavior” \nThe past three decades of research in phonetics and psycholinguistics have led to great advances in our understanding of language\, representation\, and the relationship between language and other cognitive domains. While debates certainly still exist\, we can take as established that how often and in what context different speech patterns occur influence both memory and processing. The question now is what we do with this rich foundation. \nIn this talk\, I present a few\, short examples of how usage-based approaches to phonetics and psycholinguistics help us understand social biases and human behavior. I provide some evidence showing that phonetically-cued talker information (e.g.\, emotion\, gender) directly activates lexical items\, providing us with some insights into the timing and availability of this\ninformation. The purpose of this first part is to illuminate the complexity of experiencing linguistic events from the perspective of a listener. \nFor the remainder of the talk\, I move away from phonetics\, taking the basic insights from the studies initially presented (e.g.\, that we are pattern recognizers) to question assumptions about language use and experience and ask how our understanding of language use\, semantic associations and culture can inform society at large. Specifically\, I spend the last large chunk of\nthis talk investigating how we can understand the refugee experience through the lens of spoken language comprehension. \nMeghan Sumner is an associate professor of Linguistics at Stanford University.

In this unique multilingual program\, students will be featured in fully-staged excerpts of short works in Punjabi\, French. German\, and Spanish\, with English super-titles. \nThere is no admission charge for the event; nearby parking is $4.00. \nThere are exciting innovations in the program this year\, with the first MEIP presentation of works in Punjabi\, including a short play and poetry\, directed by Arshinder Kaur\, and excerpts from Mozart’s opera\, The Magic Flute\, sung in German\, directed by Sheila Willey\, and performed by students of the University Opera Theater\, as a preview of their upcoming production of the opera\, which will take place from May 31 to June 3 at the UCSC Music Center Recital Hall. Students of French will portray scenes from Marcel Pagnol’s Fanny\, one of the plays in his trilogy about a group of serio-comic characters in Marseille\, directed by Miriam Ellis and Renée Cailloux. Spanish will offer a contemporary comedy\, Black and White\, by Ignacio Dominis\, directed by Carolina Castillo-Trelles\, which explores characters who live in two different worlds\, separated by a line never to be crossed. Over the years\, our multilingual theater presentations have attracted loyal audiences who look forward to hearing their native or acquired languages in this unusual format\, and we cordially invite the community to attend. \nFor more information\, please contact Lisa Leslie at lmhunter@ucsc.edu or (831-459- 2054).
