SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Elizabeth Marcus: "The Arrest of Ziad Doueiri and the Laws of Cultural Critique"
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Marcus is a Mellon Fellow in the Scholars in the Humanities program for 2017-2019. She received her BA from the University of Oxford in Modern History and French\, and completed her PhD in French and Comparative Literature at Columbia University in 2017. Her research and teaching focus on the francophone and Arab worlds\, with a particular interest in knowledge production\, cultural imperialism\, and the histories of religious and minority groups. In her current book project\, Difference and Dissidence: Cultural Politics and the End of Empire in Lebanon\, she uses post-independence Lebanon as a case study of multilingualism and decolonization from below. \nShe is developing a second project on global intellectual history\, international students and radical politics in post-war France. Recovering the history of the Cité internationale universitaire\, an international university campus set on the outskirts of Paris\, she looks at how it became a key physical and symbolic space for students\, writers and intellectuals from the Middle East\, Africa and Europe. Elizabeth has taught in the Core Curriculum at Columbia University and at MIT as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Global Studies and Languages Department. \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:POSTPONED: Counterpoints Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Counterpoints: Bay Area Data and Stories for Resisting Displacement\nAn Atlas by the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project \n \nThis event will feature members of the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project will be offering a preview of their new atlas manuscript\, Counterpoints: Bay Area Data and Stories for Resisting Displacement\, which will be released by PM Press in the spring of 2020. The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project (AEMP) is a data visualization\, digital cartography\, and multimedia collective based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The project aims to inform\, empower\, and activate communities impacted by housing inequity and displacement\, supporting the work of collectives fighting for housing justice. By excavating and creating pertinent data\, narratives\, and maps\, the AEMP reorients and repositions power in the community and in the hands of those who are working to restore housing equity in low-income communities and communities of color. Bringing together artists\, activists\, oral historians\, cartographers\, muralists\, and more\, AEMP is rooted in the idea that community-based knowledge production is essential in fighting displacement. \nWhile AEMP has produced hundreds of online interactive maps and oral histories\, numerous videos and reports\, and even several murals\, light projections\, zines\, and posters\, over the last year the project has launched into a new cartographic endeavor. Counterpoints brings together dozens of artists\, activists\, designers\, and cartographers to produce a manuscript-length series of maps\, graphics\, poems\, and text. Content is divided into seven chapters\, including: Migration and Relocation; Indigenous Geographies; Evictions and Root Shock; Public Health and Environmental Racism; Financial Speculation and Speculative Futures; Carcerality and Abolition; and Transportation\, Infrastructure\, and Economy. Counterpoints encompasses geographies ranging from Vallejo to Santa Cruz in an effort to tell a regional story of gentrification\, particularly as it is racialized and classed. Different project members are editing and producing original visual content for each chapter\, and also working with numerous new community and partners and contributors\, thereby expanding the existing scope of AEMP’s work. In addition to the book\, AEMP crafting online interactive content and downloadable educational material\, which will be available on the PM Press and AEMP websites. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Barry Lam - Fighting the Future: The Philosophy of Predictive Algorithms in Criminal Justice
DESCRIPTION:At different stages of the criminal justice system\, from policing\, bail hearings\, and sentencing\, computerized algorithms are replacing human decision-making in determining where to police\, who to arrest\, who goes to jail\, and who goes free. This talk will introduce people to how these algorithms work\, the under-appreciated moral problems with their implementation\, and how the future of criminal justice depends on decisions we make now about the risks we are willing to tolerate for public safety. \nOrganized by the Humanities Institute\, Data and Democracy Initiative\, and Center for Public Philosophy

SUMMARY:2nd Annual Grad Student Conference: “Citizenship in Flux: Migration and Exclusion in World History\, 1750-2019”
DESCRIPTION:The rise of nativist or nationalist movements in many countries and the closing of borders to migrants seeking refuge from persecution\, war\, and violence calls into question the world historical context of migration\, borders\, and political belonging. This conference queries citizenship and borders across time and region to make sense of their implications for citizens\, non-citizens \, subjects\, refugees\, and exiles in world history. We welcome broad definitions of “border\,” “citizenship\,” and “migration”to include boundaries that migrate even when people themselves do not\, citizenships that are defined by entities other than the state\, and migrations that don’t require physical movement (eg. movement among identities that can affect citizenship\, like race or religion). \nGraduate Student Conference hosted by: The UCSC Center for World History Program \nCommittee: Daniel Joesten\, Muiris MacGiollabhui\, Jackie Schultz\, Crystal Smith \n8:30–9:00 Opening Remarks\, Coffee\, and Pastries \n9:00-10:30 Panel One: “Religion\, Migration\, and the Politics of Citizenship”  \nChair: Crystal E.

SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquia: Sandy Chung
DESCRIPTION:Sandy Chung\, UC Santa Cruz\, is committed to the idea that lesser-studied languages have as much to contribute to syntactic theory as do languages like English\, French\, and Italian. These interests have shaped her research on syntactic theory and Austronesian languages. Chung began doing fieldwork on Maori\, Tongan\, and Samoan (all languages of the South Pacific) as an undergraduate. As a graduate student\, she did fieldwork on Indonesian. Since 1977\, the main empirical focus of her research has been Chamorro\, a language of the Mariana Islands. \nShe is still (slowly) making progress on the Chamorro reference grammar Chung has been writing since 2009. Currently\, she is collaborating with Dr. Elizabeth D. Rechebei\, Manuel F. Borja\, Tita A. Hocog\, and many others in the CNMI on a revision of the Chamorro-English Dictionary. Finally\, since 2011\, Matt Wagers\, Manuel F. Borja\, and Chung have been collaborating on psycholinguistic research on Chamorro in the Mariana Islands. \nFor More information: https://linguistics.ucsc.edu/news-events/colloquia/index.html
