SUMMARY:Christmas with Dickens
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, December 13th at 4 pm for a performance you won’t want to miss! \nCharles Dickens just wants to talk about his book\, A Christmas Carol\, but what happens when spirits begin to show up? Is Dickens being guilt-tripped by his estranged wife\, Catherine; haunted by the Ghost of Christmas Present; regretting his portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge? And what is Queen Victoria doing there? It’s full of chaos\, confusion\, conflict\, and complaints\, just like a typical holiday gathering. \n \nThe UCSC Dickens Project presents\, via Zoom\, an original readers’ theater piece written by JoAnna Rottke and directed by Karen Schamberg. Readers will be Andrew Davids\, Frank Widman\, Martha Rabin\, Sarah Kauffman Michael\, Chris Rich\, and Mark Messersmith. A Q&A session will follow the performance. \n\nJoAnna Rottke spent her best years as Assistant Director of the Dickens Project\, a research program at UCSC devoted to the life and works of Charles Dickens. She knows more about Dickens than she’d like to admit. JoAnna now works as an Adoption Counselor for the Santa Cruz SPCA and is a huge fan of tiny dogs.

SUMMARY:Slugs and Steins: Reading Dickens Today with Professor John Jordan
DESCRIPTION:These days\, 150 years after his death in 1870\, it is nearly impossible for a week to go by without coming across some reference to Dickens in a news article\, movie review\, magazine essay\, or crossword puzzle clue. The adjective “Dickensian” has entered common parlance throughout the English-speaking world as a way of characterizing certain kinds of people\, places\, and social problems. Film\, television\, and theatrical versions of Dickens’s novels continue to appear with surprising frequency\, most recently the 2019 film adaptation of David Copperfield\, directed by Armando Ianucci and featuring a multi-racial cast. Dickens\, it seems\, is still very much alive in 2020. In his UCSC Alumni Association talk\, Professor John Jordan speculates about the reasons for Dickens’s enduring afterlife and explores some of the ways in which Dickens remains important and relevant for 21 st -century audiences. \n \n\nJohn Jordan is a Research Professor of Literature at UCSC and Director of the Dickens Project\, an international multi-campus research consortium headquartered at Santa Cruz. He has edited or co-edited several books on Dickens and is the author of Supposing Bleak House (2010).

SUMMARY:Revisiting The Koza Uprising in Global Perspectives/ オンラインセミナー「コザ騒動を世界の視点で」
DESCRIPTION:Fifty years ago this December\, Okinawan protests against US military rule turned violent for the first and\, so far\, only time. On the anniversary\, the Okinawa Memories Initiative will host a public discussion about the “Koza Riots\,” featuring an eyewitness photojournalist\, an American army veteran who had been stationed in Okinawa and two Okinawan American scholars reflecting on race and the meaning of the event fifty years on in the days of Black Lives Matter. \n \nThe event will kick off with remarks from Alan Christy\, Director of the Okinawa Memories Initiative. We will then journey to Okinawa\, where we will hear from Kazuo Kuniyoshi\, who will discuss Mr. Kuniyoshi’s experience on the streets of Koza as a photojournalist and resident of the city on the night of December 20\, 1970. Their conversation will feature photographs taken by Mr. Kuniyoshi that night as well as a tour of the district as it is today. The conversation will continue between Stan Rushworth and Dustin Wright\, Associate Director of OMI\, who will discuss Mr. Rushworth’s experiences as an American soldier stationed in Okinawa during the Vietnam War. Finally\, we will hear from Alexyss McClellan-Ufugusuku and Wesley Ueunten who will discuss the meaning of the Koza Riot/Uprising from the perspective of the global Okinawan diaspora. The program will also feature music by Wesley Ueunten\, Francis Wong and Scott Oshiro as interludes between interviews. \n50年前の12月、沖縄には怒りが溢れていたといいます。そして、その感情は、交通事故という小さなきっかけからコザ“暴動”へと膨れ上がりました。 \nオキナワ・メモリーズ・イニシアティブでは、コザ暴動が起きてちょうど５０年となる１２月20日、朝９時半から１１時までオンラインでイベントを開催します。コザ“暴動”を実際に取材した写真家國吉和夫さん、沖縄に駐留した経験のある退役米軍人、沖縄系アメリカ人の研究者など多彩なゲストを招き、コザ“暴動”が起きた背景、その後の沖縄への影響、さらに、コザ“暴動”を通して、ブラック・ライヴズ・マター（Black Lives Matter）など現在世界に波及する人種差別抗議運動についても考えます。ぜひご参加ください。 \nオンラインセミナー参加には登録が必要です。 \n以下のフォームにお名前、メールアドレスを入力し、提出ください。 \n後日、登録されたメールに参加に必要なリンクをお送りします。 \n当日は、そのリンクをクリックしてください。 \n参加は、議論をただ聞いていただくのでもいいですし、質疑応答も受け付けます。 \n\nStan Rushworth was born during WW2\, and served in the military in Okinawa during the early years of the Vietnam War. He has lived and worked in highland Guatemala\, Hawaii\, and has been teaching English in Northern California for the last 30 years\, with focus on Indigenous issues. He is the author of Sam Woods American Healing (1991)\, Going to Water: The Journal of Beginning Rain (2014)\, and Diaspora’s Children (2020). He is a citizen of the Chiricahua Apache Nation\, is married\, and is a grandfather. \nDustin Wright is a historian (UC Santa Cruz\, 2015)\, co-director of the Okinawa Memories Initiative\, and assistant professor in the School of World Languages and Cultures at California State University\, Monterey Bay. His work has been published in Gastronomica\, The Japan Times\, The Sixties\, Critical Asian Studies\, and Sekai (世界). He is currently writing a book tentatively titled Protest Nation: Anti-Base Struggle and the Fight for Peace in Modern Japan. \nAlexyss McClellan-Ufugusuku is a PhD student in the History Department at UC Santa Cruz and serves on the leadership team for the Okinawa Memories Initiative. Lex is a mixed-race Shimanchu from San Diego and her research focuses on the politics of formal Indigenous people’s recognition for the Shimanchu (Ryukyuan) people by the government of Japan and the United Nations. She has a forthcoming article in The Avery Review about the July Fourth party outbreak of the coronavirus in Uchinaa as framed through the UN Declaration on the Rights on Indigenous Peoples. \nPlease stay tuned for  Kazuo Kuniyoshi\, Tomoko Kubota\, and Wesley Ueunten bios coming soon. \n\nThe Humanities Institute is exploring the theme of Memory. We encourage everyone—current students\, alumni\, staff and community members—to join us for what will be an insightful and informative event. \nOrganized by the Okinawa Memories Initiative and co-sponsored by the Humanities Institute.
