SUMMARY:Slugs & Steins - Beyond the Middle Passage: Slave Trading within the Americas\, 1619-1807
DESCRIPTION:More than 12 million enslaved African people endured the infamous Middle Passage across the Atlantic in the slave trade\, but for many\, the forced migration was not yet over when they reached an American port. Demand for enslaved labor was so rampant in the Americas\, that speculators purchased many arriving people only to ship them from colony to colony for resale\, often smuggling across imperial borders. This additional phase of the slave trade within the Americas was important not only for the danger it added to enslaved people’s traumatic journeys\, but also for what it reveals about the centrality of slavery to early American life. The routes of the intra-American slave trade spread the institution to virtually every colonial outpost\, and traders used the trafficking in highly valuable human beings to build their networks and establish themselves as traders of goods\, as well as people. \n \nGreg O’Malley is associate professor of history at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. His first book\, Final Passages: The Intercolonial Slave Trade of British America\, received four awards: The Forkosch Prize (American Historical Association—British History); the Rawley Prize (American Historical Association—Atlantic World); The Owsley Award (Southern Historical Association); and the Goveia Prize (Association of Caribbean Historians). The project examines a complex network for distributing enslaved Africans throughout North America and the Caribbean after their survival of the Atlantic crossing. O’Malley is also co-editor (with Alex Borucki) for the Intra-American Slave Trade Database\, an online research tool that documents more than 11\,500 slave trading voyages from one port in the Americas to another. He is also conducting research for a new book\, The Escapes of David George: One Man’s Struggle with Slavery and Freedom in the Revolutionary Era\, a biography of a man\, born enslaved in colonial Virginia\, whose attempts to escape bondage led him on a remarkable odyssey. \nAbout the Slugs and Steins Lecture Series: Join us for a series of free informal lectures\, brought to you by the UC Santa Cruz Alumni Association. Each talk will engage one of our favorite Professors in discussion with you\, the local community of Silicon Valley. We will cover everything from organic artichokes to endangered zebras\, self-driving cars to Shakespeare. All are welcome. Audience participation is encouraged.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL - Undiscovered Shakespeare: The Wars of the Roses - Henry VI\, Part 3
DESCRIPTION:Join actors\, scholars\, and friends for ten live readings and discussions focused on the plays about a divided society and a civil war that made Shakespeare famous in the London theater. \n \nUndiscovered Shakespeare: The Wars of the Roses is a public arts and humanities series co-produced by Santa Cruz Shakespeare\, UCSC Shakespeare Workshop\, and The Humanities Institute. It brings professional actors and scholars together with the public for a staged reading and discussion of the works that made Shakespeare famous in the London theater. As a young writer at the start of his career\, Shakespeare explored ambitions\, rivalries\, and passions that swept away the dynasty that had reigned in England for more than four centuries. Over the course of ten sessions\, we will immerse ourselves in these rarely performed plays—in Henry VI\, Parts 1\, 2\, and 3 and Richard III—and reflect on them both as points of departure for Shakespeare’s career and as a mirror for the times in which we live. \nSchedule: The first nine sessions will last approximately ninety minutes (including an intermission) and will begin at 6:30pm PST. The final session of Richard III will last approximately two and a half hours. \nSessions are free to the public\, and participants are not obligated to attend every meeting of the program. \n*Participants reading along should expect for the first meeting about each play to cover acts one and two; the second meeting to cover acts three and four; and the third meeting to cover act five. The session focussing on Richard III will be a live reading of the entire play. \nJuly 1\, 8\, and 15: Henry VI\, Part 1 – click to view play synopsis \nwith scholars Adam Zucker (UMass\, Amherst) and Ariane Helou (UCLA) \nJuly 22\, 29\, and Aug 5: Henry VI\, Part 2 – click to view play synopsis\nwith scholars Sean Keilen (UCSC) and Maria Frangos (SCS) \nAugust 12\, 19\, 26: Henry VI\, Part 3 – click to view play synopsis\nwith scholars Claire McEachern (UCLA) and Ashley Herum (UC Santa Cruz) \nSeptember 2: Richard III – click to view play synopsis — live reading of the full play (apx. 2.5 hours) \nwith scholar Amani Liggett (UC Santa Cruz) \nTexts available from Folger Shakespeare Library at: https://shakespeare.folger.edu/shakespeares-works/ \nPlay synopses available from Shakespeare 2020 Project at: https://iandoescher.com/shakespeare/  \nHenry VI\, Full Play Synopsis: In the wake of King Henry V’s death\, the French rebel against English rule. Joan la Pucelle (Joan of Arc) is made general of the French forces. Meanwhile\, in England\, a quarrel between two powerful lords\, the Duke of Somerset and Richard Plantagenet\, Duke of York\, consumes the court when they demand that fellow nobles pick a side by wearing either a red rose (Somerset and the house of Lancaster) or a white rose (the Duke and the house of York). The mounting tensions in the court distract the English from their goals in France\, and young King Henry VI concludes an uneasy peace. He is persuaded to marry a captured French princess\, Margaret of Anjou\, whom he has never met.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL - Karen Tei Yamashita: Sansei and Sensibility
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz and The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz invite you to join us for a free online event with Karen Tei Yamashita who will celebrate her newest book\, Sansei and Sensibility. Generations of Japanese Americans merge with Jane Austen’s characters in these lively stories\, pairing uniquely American histories with reimagined classics. \n \nThis is a free event. Please consider purchasing the book through Bookshop Santa Cruz or make a donation to help support Bookshop Santa Cruz. Thank you! \n“An elegantly written\, wryly affectionate mashup of Jane Austen and the Japanese immigrant experience. . . . Yamashita’s reimagining of Austen is sympathetic and funny—and as on target as the movie Clueless.” —Kirkus\, starred review \n“Karen Tei Yamashita contends with the Western canon in this astute\, pitch-perfect\, and wryly funny short story collection. . . . A genuine pleasure to read.” —Publishers Weekly\, starred review \n“This hilarious new collection of stories and essays will make you chuckle\, though underneath the humor is deft critique. Marie Kondo’s tidying up is juxtaposed with a tour of World War II internment camps. Sexist techno-orientalism and the meaning of Godzilla are reexamined. Local treasure\, UCSC professor emerita\, and acclaimed novelist Karen Tei Yamashita has written a book about the Japanese American experience both entertaining and vital in this era of anti-immigration politics.” —Jason\, Bookshop Santa Cruz bookseller \nKaren Tei Yamashita is the author of seven books\, including I Hotel\, finalist for the National Book Award\, and most recently\, Letters to Memory\, all published by Coffee House Press. Recipient of the John Dos Passos Prize for Literature and a US Artists Ford Foundation Fellowship\, she is Professor Emerita of Literature and Creative Writing at the University of California\, Santa Cruz.
