SUMMARY:Hong-An Truong: Refugee Returns
DESCRIPTION:Using photography\, video\, and sound installation\, Hong-An Truong engages questions about history and how knowledge is produced through media forms. Often drawing on her lived experience as the daughter of Vietnamese refugees\, her work explores historical and political themes\, especially around war\, violence\, and race. \nTruong’s talk will focus on several recent projects that explore how citizenship and notions of belonging are constructed in order to expand our conception of refugees and Asian American identity within a larger global history of anti-colonial struggle and cross-national organizing. \nRecipient of a 2019 Guggenheim Fellowship\, Hong-An Truong is an artist who explores immigrant\, refugee\, and decolonial narratives and subjectivities. She is an Associate Professor of Art and Director of Graduate Studies in the MFA Program at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. \nPresented by the Center for Racial Justice and co-sponsored by Art+Design Placemaking

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: Chast and Marx - You Can Only Yell at Me for One Thing at a Time: Rules for Couples
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes the bestselling team of New Yorker illustrator Roz Chast and New Yorker contributor Patricia Marx for a presentation of their hilarious illustrated guide to love and relationships\, You Can Only Yell at Me for One Thing at a Time: Rules for Couples. Everyone knows the tired\, clichéd advice for a healthy relationship: Never go to bed angry. The couple that plays together\, stays together. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. Sexual favors in exchange for cleaning up the cat vomit is a good and fair trade. \nOkay\, maybe not that last one. \nThe authors of Why Don’t You Write My Eulogy Now So I Can Correct It share their fresh\, new romance tips that will make you laugh\, make you feel seen\, and remind you why your relationship is better than everyone else’s. \nTicket packages are $23 and include one copy of You Can Only Yell at Me for One Thing at a Time (publication: January 14th). A companion ticket (event only\, no book included) is available for $7 when purchasing a ticket package. Purchase tickets at Bookshop Santa Cruz\, or online. \n \nThese nuggets of advice include: \n\nIf you must breathe\, don’t breathe so loudly.\nIt is easier to stay inside and wait for the snow to melt than to fight about who should shovel.\nQueen-sized beds\, king-sized blankets.\n\nAnd many more. You Can Only Yell at Me for One Thing at a Time is the perfect gift for your significant other\, your friendly anti-Valentine’s Day crusader\, or anyone in your life who wants to laugh about the absurdity of love. \n  \nPatricia Marx has been contributing to The New Yorker since 1989. She is a former writer for “Saturday Night Live” and “Rugrats\,” and is the author of several books\, including Let’s Be Less Stupid\, Him Her Him Again The End of Him\, and Starting from Happy. Marx was the first woman elected to the Harvard Lampoon. She has taught at Princeton\, New York University\, and Stonybrook University. She is recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship. \n  \n  \n  \nRoz Chast was born in Brooklyn and now lives in Connecticut. Her cartoons have appeared in countless magazines\, and she is the author of many books\, including The Party\, After You Left. She attended Rhode Island School of Design\, majoring in Painting because it seemed more artistic. However\, soon after graduating\, she reverted to type and began drawing cartoons once again. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCosponsored by The Humanities Institute UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Kenyon Branon: Locality and Anti-Locality - Two Case Studies
DESCRIPTION:Much work in syntax suggests that there is a strong preference — given two or more options — for shorter dependencies over longer dependencies\, often referred to as a locality condition. Cases where these conditions are apparently violated are therefore a general topic of interest. This talk presents two case studies of apparent violations of locality in A-movement which prove problematic for current approaches to the phenomenon. In both Luganda and Haya [Bantu\, Uganda/Tanzania]\, as well as Tongan [Austronesian\, Tonga]\, A-movement is able to cross no more than one other argument. This pattern proves to be a serious problem for the state-of-the art\, which cannot be straightforwardly emended to capture this particular restriction. The analysis developed involves a mechanism of conflict resolution between two conflicting requirements: the aforementioned locality condition\, and an “anti-locality” condition\, which mitigates against dependencies which are in some sense too short. When these conditions come into conflict\, the locality condition may be minimally violated\, so that the anti-locality condition may be maximally satisfied.\nIn this talk\, we will see that this analysis straightforwardly delivers the “skip no more than one” pattern observed in both case studies\, and discuss how the analysis answers a number of “big picture” questions about the architecture of the grammar. \nKenyon Branon is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of English Language and Literature at NUS. He graduated from MIT with a PhD in linguistics and works on syntax and its interface with PF\, using data from understudied languages for theory construction.
