SUMMARY:PIT-UN Network Challenge Funding Info Session
DESCRIPTION:As we announced at our recent Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN) kickoff event\, the annual Network Challenge funding program is open for submissions. \nTo answer questions\, and to discuss ideas and collaborations\, we will hold a Zoom Info Session next Tuesday\, May 12th from 3:00 – 4:00 PM. RSVP here. \nApplications are open to all PIs on UCSC Campus. One year project funding is available in three tranches: up to $45\,000\, up to $90\,000 and up to $180\,000. An initial campus limited submission process will select up to three projects that will be submitted to the network committee. \nThe Network Challenge seeks to encourage new ideas\, foster collaborations\, and incentivize resource- and information-sharing among network members. The broad goal is to fund projects that help train a new generation of graduates who have both technological literacy and a rigorous foundation to navigate the societal\, ethical\, legal\, policy\, and equity implications of technology by offering a systematic way of studying technology as a tool for addressing social problems in the world. \nApplications can be submitted here.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Humanities Happy Hour - Freedom & Race in the Time of Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our first virtual Humanities Happy Hour exploring Questions That Matter in the Time of Pandemic. This week will focus on “Freedom & Race” and feature Humanities Dean Tyler Stovall in conversation with associate professors Alice Yang\, Christine Hong\, and Noriko Aso. \n \nWhat does it mean to be free in a nation on house arrest? Recent demonstrations against shelter-in-place orders have been overwhelmingly white as groups alleging an assault on liberty have trafficked in racist symbols\, including swastikas and Confederate flags. Some have reacted to the current pandemic by blaming certain racial or ethnic groups. To what extent is this repeating a long history of scapegoating in times of pandemic? Meanwhile\, the coronavirus is taking a disproportionate toll on black and brown communities in America in terms of infections and death. How has the public health crisis both highlighted and exacerbated racial inequalities? \nThe COVID-19 pandemic is illustrating critical issues surrounding freedom and race in the United States. This week’s conversation will consider rampant anti-Asian racism and discrimination\, glaring inequities in health outcomes for African-American and Latinx communities\, and other issues of race and freedom highlighted\, and\, in many ways\, intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. \n—\nQuestions That Matter in the Time of Pandemic is a public humanities series that brings UC Santa Cruz faculty in conversation with the campus and community to discuss topics of importance to us all during the COVID-19 health crisis. The conversations build on themes that The Humanities Institute (THI) has explored as part of Questions That Matter annual events. For additional discussion\, we encourage you to watch the video of THI’s event on Questions That Matter: Freedom and Race\, in which Jennifer Gonzalez and Tyler Stovall discuss the idea that racism—and the exclusion of racial groups from society—is essential to understanding freedom in America. You can also read Dean Tyler Stovall’s 2020 Questions that Matter in the Time of Pandemic written reflection as well as his 2018 interview on freedom and race. \nQuestions? Contact Special Events

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL - PhD+ Workshop: Coping with Social Isolation and Anxiety in a Crisis
DESCRIPTION:These are extraordinary times. In a matter of days\, we have had to learn new ways of navigating our educational and occupational needs to meet our goals. This can be stressful. Our go-to coping strategy is often gathering with our social group and offering a shoulder to lean on\, or accepting one. The world has been turned upside down. Spend an hour with Richard Enriquez\, Ph.D. discussing ways to cope with stress and maintain social connection in this time of physical distancing due to COVID-19. \n  \nRichard Enriquez completed his Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Palo Alto University with an emphasis in Diversity and Community Mental Health (DCMH). He is a long-time slug\, having earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology and completing his postdoctoral fellowship here at UCSC. He currently works as a CAPS counseling psychologist with a focus in working with the Graduate Student community. \nDr. Enriquez’ clinical interests include alcohol and other drug use\, religion and spirituality\, mood disorders\, and anxiety disorders. He values working with ethnically diverse populations\, LGBTQ-identified clients\, and college students. Richard believes in working collaboratively with students\, helping them identify their personal goals and supporting them in their journey. \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. \nPlease RSVP to receive the Zoom link: \nLoading…

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Kuumbwa Jazz & Indexical Present: Moor Mother & Las Sucias
DESCRIPTION:Camae Ayewa (Moor Mother) is a nationally- and internationally-touring musician\, poet\, visual artist\, and workshop facilitator\, and has performed at numerous festivals\, colleges\, galleries\, and museums around the world\, sharing the stage with King Britt\, Roscoe Mitchell\, Claudia Rankine\, bell hooks\, and more. Her most recent album\, Analog Fluids of Sonic Black Holes\, is the culmination of all of her earthly experiences merged with all of her cosmic ones. On Analog Fluids\, haunting slave narratives are presented as dystopian allegory and negro spirituals are flipped\, remixed\, and recaptured\, only to be digitized into a symbiotic bio-morph program for the post-thumb drive age. It’s a record rich with the noise and chaos that affirm Moor Mother’s punk roots\, yet it is also anchored in earthiness via the constant injection of Black ritual\, poetry\, and drums programmed to vibrate through the listener’s mitochondria. \nLas Sucias is a duo formed by Danishta Rivero and Alexandra Buschman\, mixing anti-patriarchal riotgrrrl lyrics\, Afro-Caribbean rhythms\, brujería noise and possessed vocals. Each performance is a ritual that combines all of the senses and elevates into a higher realm\, inspiring the listener to dance\, speak in tongues\, laugh hysterically\, and get possessed by the spirits awoken. \nTICKETS & MORE INFO \nThe event will start with a discussion with Ayewa about Black Quantum Futurism\, her collaborative Afrofuturist project with author Rasheedah Phillips of Afrofuturist Affair. \nMoor Mother Website\nLas Sucias Website\nIndexical Website \nSupported in part by the Humanities Institute\, the Institute for Arts and Sciences\, the Center for Creative Ecologies\, and the Beyond the End of the World symposium at UC Santa Cruz.
