SUMMARY:Ahmed Kanna: “De-Exceptionalizing the Arab Gulf: Bringing back Class Struggle & Social Reproduction”
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nDiscourses of urban knowledge professionals (architects\, PR professionals\, etc.) on the Arab Gulf city have framed this city as an “laboratory\,” a “sci-fi” space\, and generally have disconnected the space from its social and historical contexts. In this paper I argue that a Marxist or class struggle perspective can best highlight how such discourses promote imperial and capitalist class power in the Gulf. Through combining this framework with a postcolonial discursive critique and feminist scholarship on social reproduction\, a class struggle perspective both moves us beyond victimization discourses of Gulf labor and highlights global patterns of capitalist accumulation. In turn\, the paper shows how the Gulf is an unexceptional zone of capital accumulation with labor exploitation and social reproduction regimes continuous with\, and shaped by\, similar such regimes in the Global North. \nAhmed Kanna is associate professor of anthropology at University of the Pacific. He is the author of Dubai: The City as Corporation (2011\, University of Minnesota Press)\, De-Exceptionalizing the Field (with Amelie Le Renard and Neha Vora\, forthcoming\, Cornell University Press)\, and articles in Cultural Anthropology\, City\, and Arab Studies Journal among others. \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:Susanah Shaw Romney\, "Unfree Intimacies: Gender and the Taking of Terraqueous Space at Batavia in the Seventeenth Century"
DESCRIPTION:If you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nColonization is not a one-time land grab\, but rather an ongoing process of claiming space. Batavia\, as the Dutch urban port city on Java in the seventeenth century was known\, provides an opportunity to explore the role of gender in this unfolding process. There\, the appropriation of local and regional terraqueous space relied on a simultaneous colonization of intimate space. Women of Batavia\, as wives\, concubines\, and slaves\, played an often unwilling role in the construction of empire at the intimate\, local\, and transoceanic scales. \nSusanah Shaw Romney\, Assistant Professor\, earned her Ph.D. from Cornell University\, where she worked with Prof. Mary Beth Norton. Her book\, New Netherland Connections\, is the winner of the 2014 Book Prize from the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians\, given annually to a first book published by a woman pertaining substantially to the subject of women and gender; the 2013 Jamestown Prize\, given every two years by the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture; and the 2013 Hendricks Prize\, given annually by the New Netherland Institute. She is now at work on a new project looking at gender\, settlement\, and land claims in the seventeenth-century Dutch empire in North America\, Guyana\, South Africa\, and Java.

SUMMARY:Jody Greene: "Radical Learning - The Heart of the UC Santa Cruz Experience"
DESCRIPTION:This event will review the bold and radical educational vision of UC Santa Cruz since its inception\, while introducing alumni to the innovative 21st-century approaches we are taking to ensure all students can thrive at UC Santa Cruz and leave with the tools to make change in society. We will emphasize the university’s history of active and activist pedagogy; its commitment to an education grounded in social justice; its ahead-of-the-times choice to have no grades and interdisciplinary departments; and its unique status as the only public research university in the country that was also founded as a kind of “alternative school.” The event will include prominent learning scientists as well as undergraduates working on projects related to improving student learning. Participants will give lightning talks on what it takes for students to be outstanding learners in our 21st-century university. \nMore info about Alumni Weekend: https://alumniweekend.ucsc.edu/
