SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Special Session - World Without Clouds
DESCRIPTION:World Without Clouds: an experimental work by Steven Gonzalez (MIT)\, Jia Hui Lee (MIT)\, Luísa Reis-Castro (MIT)\, Gabrielle Robbins (MIT)\, and Julianne Yip (Independent Scholar). \nWorld Without Clouds is an experimental\, multi-modal piece of speculative fiction filmed only with smartphone cameras. The story revolves around five anthropologists in the years 2045-50 who are trying to save clouds from going extinct. As climate change and authoritarian governments take over the Earth\, these “salvage nephologists” invent an Ontology Machine to communicate with the last remaining clouds\, hoping the clouds will “speak back” and offer a cloud-centered way to save clouds from dying out. The story draws inspiration from science fiction’s ability to experiment and make us aware of our epistemic limitations. The creators blend storytelling and academic scholarship in a way that refuses easy categorization into individual-authored research. They ask what kinds of new (cloud) formations might appear in the future. And they flirt—critically—with possible anthropological logics that are rooted in century-long practices of ethnographic documentation and salvation. \nWe will start on Zoom\, then watch the 30-minute film synchronously on a separate site\, and then reconvene on Zoom with the creators for a discussion. Donna Haraway will kick off the conversation. \nRSVP below by 10 AM on Wednesday\, May 20th to receive Zoom link and password.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Death on the Nile - A 3D Visit to Egypt's Most Enduring Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-of-a-kind virtual experience to explore Saqqara\, Egypt’s most enduring cemetery. UC Santa Cruz Associate Professor of History Elaine Sullivan will take us on a virtual visit to the site of Saqqara—the ancient Egyptian necropolis that was the burial place of kings\, queens\, priests\, and elite officials for 2\,500 years (3000-332 BCE). Using a 3D model that digitally ‘reconstructs’ the original appearance of the ancient monuments\, Sullivan will focus on the architecture and art from the Pharaonic Period and discuss 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\, Egyptologist\, and a digital humanist whose work focuses on applying new technologies to ancient cultural materials. Her upcoming born-digital publication\, Constructing the Sacred (Stanford University Press)\, utilizes a geo-temporal 3D model of the necropolis of Saqqara to investigate questions of ritual landscape at the site. \nWe hope you will join us for what we know will be a fascinating conversation. \nQuestions? Contact the UC Santa Cruz Special Events Office at specialevents@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Humanities Happy Hour – Teaching and Learning in the Time of Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:What has the shift to remote\, online instruction nationwide revealed about teaching and learning in higher education? How can we use this crisis as an opportunity to reimagine not only the role but the practice of teaching and learning? What is at stake for the future of higher education at UC Santa Cruz and around the world\, and how can we harness the Humanities to think boldly and creatively in response? In this week’s Humanities Happy Hour Jody Greene\, UC Santa Cruz Associate Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning\, and Lois Kazakoff (Cowell\, ‘76) will tackle these questions and more. Join us as we think through the role that the Humanities can play in imagining the future of higher education in\, and beyond\, a time of pandemic. \n \nRegistration required. \nJody Greene is Associate Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning and Professor of Literature at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. She is also the Founding Director of UCSC’s Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning. In 2005\, she published\, The Trouble with Ownership: Intellectual Property and Authorial Liability in England\, 1660-1730 (University of Pennsylvania Press). A new volume\, Human Rights after Corporate Personhood\, co-edited with Sharif Youssef\, is forthcoming from the University of Toronto Press in Fall 2020. Greene has edited special issues of GLQ and Eighteenth-Century Studies\, and has published articles in journals such as PMLA\, Critical Inquiry\, and The Eighteenth Century. Her most recent writing has appeared in Inside Higher Ed and The Chronicle of Higher Education. \nLois Kazakoff served as deputy editorial page editor of the San Francisco Chronicle for 18 years before retiring in 2019. She worked with presidents\, politicians\, professors and publicly-minded community members to help them craft compelling and persuasive commentary and bring their voices into the public forum. She has a bachelor’s degree in French from the University of California\, Santa Cruz. She earned a master’s of science of journalism degree from Northwestern University. Lois currently serves on the UC Santa Cruz Humanities Dean’s Advisory Council. \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 and other signature events. For additional discussion\, we encourage you to watch the video of “Cathy Davidson: The New Education”. This event was presented by THI and UCSC’s Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning (CITL) for its 2018 Annual Convocation\, and features Cathy Davidson discussing her book The New Education: How to Revolutionize the University to Prepare Students for a World in Flux. Davidson’s work explores how we can revolutionize our universities to help students be leaders of change\, not simply subject to it. THI’s interview with Cathy Davidson provides further insight into Davidson’s progressive vision for the future of education.  \nQuestions? Contact Special Events
