SUMMARY:Questions That Matter: Data and Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Technology increasingly shapes our habits and defines our access to information. As our society navigates shifting sources of news\, targeted advertising\, and polarizing online rhetoric\, it is essential that we work to understand the complex and often obscured relationship between data and democracy. \nJoin THI to explore how we got here and to imagine a more inclusive\, open\, and transparent future. Part of our conversation about Data and Democracy. \nFeaturing: \nPranav Anand\, Associate Professor of Linguistics\nLise Getoor\, Professor of Computer Science and Engineering \nModerated by: \nNathaniel Deutsch\, Director of the Humanities Institute \n \nQuestions that Matter “Data and Democracy” from THI on Vimeo. \nEvent Photos by Crystal Birns: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nIf you have disability-related needs\, please contact thi@ucsc.edu or call 831-459-1274 by January 25th. \n Questions That Matter: A Series of Public Dialogues in Santa Cruz\nA public humanities series developed by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz and the community of Santa Cruz – bringing together two or more UC Santa Cruz scholars with community residents and students to explore questions that matter to all of us. The series is a part of a strategic initiative of the Institute to champion the role and value of the humanities in contemporary life. At the University of California Santa Cruz\, we understand that the humanities are a crucial element of any first-rate liberal arts education. Indeed\, what distinguishes the best universities in the United States is the fact that the humanities are an integral part of their core curriculum\, along with the arts and sciences. The series is designed as a lecture and conversation\, with plenty of time built in for participant questions and answers. We invite you to join us on January 29\, 2019 at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center for “Data and Democracy.”

SUMMARY:Leta Hong Fincher: “The Feminist Awakening in China”
DESCRIPTION:On the eve of International Women’s Day in 2015\, the Chinese government arrested five feminist activists and jailed them for thirty-seven days. The Feminist Five became a global cause célèbre\, with Hillary Clinton speaking out on their behalf and activists inundating social media with #FreetheFive messages. But the Five are only symbols of a much larger feminist movement of university students\, labor activists\, civil rights lawyers\, performance artists\, and online warriors prompting an unprecedented awakening among young Chinese women. In Betraying Big Brother\, journalist and scholar Leta Hong Fincher argues that the popular\, broad-based movement poses the greatest challenge to China’s authoritarian state today. \nThrough interviews with the Feminist Five and other leading Chinese activists\, Hong Fincher illuminates both the difficulties they face and their “joy of betraying Big Brother\,” as one of the Feminist Five wrote of the defiance she felt during her detention. Tracing the rise of a new feminist consciousness now finding expression through the #MeToo movement\, and describing how the Communist Party has suppressed the history of its own feminist struggles\, Betraying Big Brother is a story of how the movement against patriarchy could reconfigure China and the world. \nLeta Hong Fincher is a journalist\, scholar and author of Betraying Big Brother: The Feminist Awakening in China (Verso 2018)\, which was named one of Vanity Fair’s top eight political books of fall 2018. Dr. Hong Fincher has written for the New York Times\, Washington Post\, The Guardian\, Dissent Magazine\, Ms. Magazine and others. She won the Society of Professional Journalists Sigma Delta Chi award for her China reporting and is the first American to receive a Ph.D. from Tsinghua University’s Department of Sociology in Beijing. She also has a master’s degree from Stanford University and a bachelor’s degree with high honors from Harvard University. Her first book was the critically acclaimed Leftover Women: The Resurgence of Gender Inequality in China (Zed 2014). Hong Fincher was a Mellon Visiting Assistant Professor at Columbia University and recently moved to New York. \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 Humanities Institute.
