SUMMARY:Prof and a Pint: Death on the Nile - A 3D Visit to Egypt's Most Enduring Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:The ancient Egyptian necropolis of Saqqara was the burial place of kings\, queens\, priests\, and elite officials for 2500 years (3000-332 BCE)\, and boasts some of the most spectacular architecture and art from the Pharoanic Period. In this talk\, we’ll make a virtual visit to the site\, using a 3D model that digitally ‘reconstructs’ the original appearance of the ancient monuments\, and explore how royal and elite Egyptians created a special landscape to guarantee their eternal life and power. \n \nElaine Sullivan (M.A. and Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University) is an Associate Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Sullivan is an Egyptologist and a Digital Humanist whose work focuses on applying new technologies to ancient cultural materials. Her archaeological work in Egypt includes five seasons of excavation with Johns Hopkins University at the temple of the goddess Mut (Luxor)\, as well as four seasons in the field with a joint UCLA-Rijksuniversiteit Groningen project in the Egyptian Fayum\, at the Greco-Roman town of Karanis. \nHer upcoming born-digital publication\, Constructing the Sacred (Stanford University Press)\, utilizes a geo-temporal 3D model of the necropolis of Saqqara (near modern Cairo) to investigate questions of ritual landscape at the site. In 2007-2008\, she served as project coordinator for the Digital Karnak Project\, creating a multi-phased 3D virtual reality model of the famous ancient Egyptian temple complex of Karnak. Sullivan has published extensively on the use of digital technologies for research and scholarship\, including recent articles in the Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory\, the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians\, and the Bulletin for the Institute of Classical Studies. \nIn October 2020\, Professor Sullivan will lead a 12 day small-group expedition to some of her favorite research sites in Egypt.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED Michael Allan - World Pictures/Global Visions
DESCRIPTION:Alongside discussions of worldliness\, globalization\, and planetarity\, the talk will focus on a global network of camera operators working on behalf of the Lumière Brothers film company from 1896-1903. This microhistory of the transnational origins of early cinema will lead to questions about what it means to apprehend the world through the eyes of a camera. \nMichael Allan is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Oregon\, where he is also program faculty in Cinema Studies\, Arabic\, and Middle East Studies. He is the author of In the Shadow of World Literature: Sites of Reading in Colonial Egypt (Princeton\, 2016) and serves as editor of Comparative Literature. Michael holds his Ph.D. from the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of California\, Berkeley\, where he worked under the direction of Judith Butler and Karl Britto. Before joining the faculty at the University of Oregon\, he was a member of the Society of Fellows in the Humanities at Columbia University (2008-9). \nHis research focuses on debates in world literature\, postcolonial studies\, literary theory\, as well as film and visual culture\, primarily in Africa and the Middle East. In both his research and teaching\, he bridges textual analysis with social theory\, and draws from methods in anthropology\, religion\, queer theory and area studies. He is the author of In the Shadow of World Literature: Sites of Reading in Colonial Egypt (Princeton 2016\, Co-Winner of the MLA Prize for a First Book) and of articles in venues such as PMLA\, Modernism/Modernity\, Comparative Literature Studies\, Early Popular Visual Culture\, The International Journal of Middle East Studies\, and the Journal of Arabic Literature. He is also a guest editor of a special issue of Comparative Literature (“Reading Secularism: Religion\, Literature\, Aesthetics”)\, and with Elisabetta Benigni\, an issue of Philological Encounters (“Lingua Franca: Toward a Philology of the Sea”). He is at work on a second book\, Picturing the World: The Global Routes of Early Cinema\, 1896-1903\, which traces the transnational history of camera operators working for the Lumière Brothers film company. \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:POSTPONED: Jason Martel - Stories to Not Begin By: A Spanish Teacher Candidate’s Identity  Deconstruction
DESCRIPTION:This colloquium will be rescheduled at a later date.  \nThe DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES AND APPLIED LINGUISTICS presents: \nJason Martel (Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey) – “Stories to Not Begin By: A Spanish Teacher Candidate’s Identity Deconstruction” \nWithin the robust research literature on teacher identity\, there is a growing interest in “stories to leave by”––that is\, reasons for which language teachers experience weakenings in their role identities and ultimately exit the profession (Schaefer\, Downey\, & Clandinin\, 2014). As it turns out\, the majority of these studies involve in- service language teachers\, meaning that we do not yet have a sufficient understanding as to why pre-service teachers may experience similar weakenings in their role identities and thus choose to not enter the profession. Using a positioning theory lens (Davies & Harré\, 1999; Kayi-Adar\, 2018)\, the present study examined the identity construction of a Spanish teacher candidate who began her program strongly identifying with Spanish teaching and left it not seeing herself entering the profession\, citing several uncomfortable experiences. The study’s findings bring into focus important considerations for designers of language teacher preparation programs\, such as incorporating language development courses\, helping candidates cultivate identities as innovative change makers\, and structuring curricula in ways that serve candidates’ needs in a timely fashion.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: PhD+ Workshop – Equity-Minded Humanities Teaching
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive PhD+ session\, we will explore what current research in teaching and learning can bring to the Humanities\, and what Humanities values\, contexts\, and ways of thinking can bring to our conceptions of teaching and learning. First\, we’ll define what equity means to us\, both within our specific disciplines and within Humanities teaching and learning more generally. Focusing in particular on structure (the “how” of our teaching)\, we will then explore several key “intervention” areas known in research on teaching and learning to promote more equitable learning: uncovering tacit knowledge\, addressing power and positionality in collaborative group work\, and surfacing the values that are communicated by our teaching and assessment methods. The goal will be to share\, discuss\, and develop equity-minded practices and structures specifically designed for educators and learners in the Humanities. \nKendra Dority has been an engaged member of the teaching and learning community at UC Santa Cruz since 2009\, serving as a Teaching Fellow and Teaching Assistant in the Literature Department and as a Lecturer at Porter College before joining the Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning (CITL) in 2017. With CITL\, she develops programs that build communities of practice\, support equity-minded teaching\, and promote active learning\, and she leads up the Center’s professional development opportunities for graduate students. Both within and outside of the university\, she champions public humanities and arts education. As a school museum guide at SFMOMA\, she encourages hands-on\, inquiry-focused learning for Bay Area students in grades 3–8. She received her Ph.D. in Literature from UCSC\, with research on literacy\, reading practices\, language politics\, and ethics in ancient Greek and contemporary U.S. Latinx literatures. \n  \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series\nPlease join us for the fourth year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by the Humanities Institute. We meet monthly\, over lunch\, to discuss possible career paths for PhDs\, internship possibilities\, grants/fellowships\, work/life balance\, elements of style\, online identity issues\, and much\, much more. \nCanceled RSVP:\nLoading…
