SUMMARY:Robert Nichols: Dilemmas of Dispossession in the Black Radical Tradition
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nNumerous political and intellectual traditions have sought to leverage the language of self-ownership as a tool of radical critique\, including Marxism\, feminism\, and Critical Race Theory. But do we ‘own’ ourselves in any meaningful or politically productive sense? This lecture considers the dilemmas involved in this question with particular reference to the Black Radical Tradition\, situating it within the broader framework of ‘dispossession’. \nRobert Nichols is a McKnight Land-Grant Professor and Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities). His areas of research specialization include contemporary political theory (especially Critical Theory\, Marx and Marxism\, Foucault); the history of political thought (especially pertaining to imperialism and colonialism in the 19th century); and the contemporary politics of settler colonialism and indigeneity in the Anglo-American world.

SUMMARY:Camilla Hawthorne: "On Diasporic Ethics- Locating the Black Mediterranean in Italian Citizenship Struggles"
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the possibilities and limitations of the “Black Mediterranean” (which emphasizes the power-laden relations of cultural exchange and racial violence linking Europe and Africa) as an analytical framework for understanding the historical and contemporary forms of racial criminalization and racialized citizenship in Italy. The emergent “Black Italian” movement in Italy has been increasingly confronted with the limits of national citizenship as a means for addressing racial inequality. In response\, activists have begun to turn toward alternative political imaginaries and practices of community that extend far beyond the Italian nation-state. In this context\, what can the Black Mediterranean open up in terms of new political praxes and transgressive alliance? Specifically\, how might this framework help to bridge Black liberation politics in Italy with refugee rights mobilizations? \nCamilla Hawthorne is Assistant Professor of Public Policy and Inequality at UC Santa Cruz. Camilla received her PhD in Geography with a designated emphasis in Science and Technology Studies from UC Berkeley in 2018. She also holds an MPA from Brown University. Camilla’s work addresses the politics of migration and citizenship\, racism and inequality\, and social movements. Her book project\, tentatively titled Different Waters\, Same Sea: Contesting Racialized Citizenship in the Black Mediterranean\, explores the politics of race and citizenship in contemporary Italy. She is also co-editing a volume about Black Geographies with Dr. Jovan Scott Lewis of UC Berkeley. Camilla serves as faculty member and project manager of the Summer School on Black Europe in Amsterdam\, the Netherlands. \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \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.

SUMMARY:Stevenson College Winter 2019 Distinguished Faculty Lecture: Phillip L. Hammack
DESCRIPTION:“Sexual and Gender Diversity in the Era of Radical Authenticity” \nProfessor Phillip L. Hammock will present on findings that challenge traditional scientific paradigms—historically rooted in static\, binary notions of gender and sexual identity—and call for new understandings of identity\, community\, and stigma. \nThe twenty-first century is a time of heightened recognition of diversity in gender\, sexuality\, and relationships—an era of “radical authenticity” in which individuals are increasingly able to align their internal sense of identity with its external presentation. Cultural attitudes and social policies in the United States and elsewhere have increasingly come to legitimize diversity in gender and sexual identity\, with legal recognition of same-sex relationships and heightened visibility of the transgender experience. This presentation reports preliminary findings from a mixed-methods study of adolescents residing in distinct regions of California known for their historic support or hostility toward gender and sexual diversity. Mobilizing multiple sources of data (e.g.\, ethnographic\, interview\, survey)\, three larger stories are emerging that center on (a) the new vocabulary related to gender and sexual identity\, revealed in adolescents’ appropriation of new identity labels that challenge binary conceptions; (b) the endurance of stigma in spite of social change and the resources associated with supportive community settings; and (c) the expansion of the meaning of community for contemporary adolescents\, facilitated by social media. These findings challenge traditional scientific paradigms—historically rooted in static\, binary notions of gender and sexual identity—and call for new understandings of identity\, community\, and stigma. \nFollowed by a reception at the Stevenson Provost House \nThis year’s Distinguished Faculty Lecture is cosponsored with The Humanities Institute\, Oaks College\, and the UCSC Psychology Department. \n

SUMMARY:Borderbus: A Community Conversation about Migration\, Art\, and Social Justice - A Conversation between Felicia Rice and Juan Felipe Herrera
DESCRIPTION:Join recent U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera and Santa Cruz book artist Felicia Rice in an exploration of the powerful role that poetry and art can play in conversations about the pressing issues of immigration\, belonging\, and home. Herrera and Rice will be joined in this community conversation by representatives of local groups working on social justice and immigration issues\, including local filmmaker Brenda Avila-Hanna. Additionally\, attendees will have the opportunity to contribute to a collaborative piece collecting community stories. \nThe evening’s conversation will be facilitated by UC Santa Cruz Literature professor Kirsten Silva Gruesz. \nBorderbus is a new book project created by Rice in collaboration with Herrera. Herrera’s poem by the same name\, which forms the foundation for Rice’s work\, features a whispered conversation between two women held at the border between Mexico and the United States on an ICE bus. Rice\, whose works build bridges between art forms\, cultures\, artists/audiences\, and technologies\, collaborates with visual artists\, performing artists\, and writers to create book structures in which word and image meet and merge. \nJuan Felipe Herrera is the 21st Poet Laureate of the United States (2015-2016) and is the first Latino to hold the position. From 2012-2014\, Herrera served as California State Poet Laureate. Herrera is also a performance artist and activist on behalf of migrant and indigenous communities and at-risk youth. \nFelicia Rice is a book artist\, book arts educator\, and sole proprietor of Moving Parts Press in Santa Cruz\, CA. Her work has been included in exhibitions and collections both nationally and internationally\, from AIGA Annual Book Shows in New York and Frankfurt to the Victoria & Albert Museum. \nKirsten Silva Gruesz is Professor of Literature at UC Santa Cruz. Through her research and teaching she promotes comparative and multilingual approaches to “American” literature and history. She is the author of Ambassadors of Culture: The Transamerican Origins of Latino Writing. \n  \nSponsored by: UC Santa Cruz University Library\, Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History\, Moving Parts Press\, The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz\, and the following UC Santa Cruz partners: Research Center for the Americas\, Oakes College\, and the Department of Latin America & Latino Studies. \n  \nEmail questions to: \nUCSC Special Collections at speccoll@library.ucsc.edu \n

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Juan Felipe Herrera
DESCRIPTION:Born on the migrant roads of Central California\, Juan Felipe grew up in the literary centers of the new Latinx Civil Rights Movement – San Diego\, Los Angeles and San Francisco. There he was inspired by bilingual and Aztec\, Mayan cultural roots\, as well as urban\, and multi-cultural and spoken word\, jazz styles on community performance stages. Also\, he has been a founder of various poetry\, jazz and afro-cuban percussion fusion ensembles\, and street theatre groups. Schools\, from UCLA\, Stanford to Iowa have been key to his thoughts on culture\, power and word. He delights in as many poetic traditions and experimental approaches as possible — children’s books\, experimental art-word fusions\, YA novels\, and performance —with the instant society in mind\, the audience-community. Awards have been many — NEA and Guggenheim Fellowships\, California Arts Council grants\, the LA Times Robert Kirsch Award\, the UCAL Chancellor;s Medal\, the National Book Critic Circle Award\, The Autry Spirit Award\, the Latino International Award and the Pura Belpré Honor Award\, among others. His most recent book\, Imagine\, a children’s book. “Every word is made of kindness\,” he says.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Dana Frank\, "The Long Honduran Night"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Dana Frank will join us to discuss and sign copies of her new book\, The Long Honduran Night—a story of resistance\, repression\, and U.S. policy in Honduras in the aftermath of a violent military coup.\nThis powerful narrative recounts the dramatic years in Honduras following the June 2009 military coup that deposed President Manuel Zelaya\, told in part through first-person experiences\, layered into deeper political analysis. It weaves together two broad pictures: first\, the repressive regime that was launched with the coup\, and the ways in which U.S. policy has continued to support that regime; and second\, the brave and evolving Honduran resistance movement\, with aid from a new solidarity movement in the United States.\nAlthough it is full of terrible things\, this is not a horror story: the book directly counters mainstream media coverage that portrays Honduras as a pit of unrelenting awfulness\, in which powerless people sob in the face of unexplained violence. Rather\, it’s about sobering challenges with roots in political processes\, and the inspiring collective strength with which people face them. \nDana Frank is Professor of History Emerita at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. She is the author of Bananeras: Women Transforming the Banana Unions of Latin America (2005; repr. Haymarket 2016); Buy American: The Untold Story of Economic Nationalism (Beacon\, 1999); Purchasing Power: Consumer Organizing\, Gender\, and the Seattle Labor Movement\, 1919-1929 (Cambridge\, 1994); Local Girl Makes History: Exploring Northern California’s Kitsch Monuments (City Lights\, 2007); and\, with Howard Zinn and Robin D. G. Kelley\, Three Strikes: Miners\, Musicians\, Salesgirls and the Fighting Spirit of Labor’s Last Century (Beacon\, 2001). Her contribution to Three Strikes has been reprinted\, with a new introduction\, by Haymarket Books as Women Strikers Occupy Chain Store\, Win Big (2012). Since the 2009 military coup her articles about human rights and U.S. policy in Honduras have appeared in The Nation\, New York Times\, Politico Magazine\, Foreign Affairs.com\, Foreign Policy.com\, Miami Herald\, Los Angeles Times\, The Baffler\, and many other publications\, and she has testified before both the U.S. Congress and Canadian Parliament. \nThis free event will take place at Bookshop Santa Cruz. Chairs for open seating are usually set up about an hour before the event begins. If you have any ADA accommodation requests\, please email by March 5th.
