SUMMARY:Material and Memory: Sanford Biggers and Leigh Raiford
DESCRIPTION:Sandord Biggers is a Harlem-based artist whose work speaks to current social\, political and economic happenings. For this Visualizing Abolition event\, Biggers will be joined by visual culutre theorist Leigh Raiford for a conversation about art\, materiality\, violence\, and possibility. \n \nVisualizing Abolition is a series of online events organized in collaboration with Professor Gina Dent and featuring artists\, activists\, and scholars united by their commitment to the vital struggle for prison abolition. Originally\, Visualizing Abolition was being planned as an in-person symposium. Due to the ongoing pandemic\, the panels\, artist talks\, film screenings\, and other events will instead take place online. The events accompany Barring Freedom\, an exhibition of contemporary art on view at San José Museum of Art October 30\, 2020-March 21\, 2021.

Barring Freedom travels to NYC John Jay College of Criminal Justice April 28-July 15\, 2021. \n\nSanford Biggers’ work is an interplay of narrative\, perspective and history that speaks to current social\, political and economic happenings and the contexts that bore them. His diverse practice positions him as a collaborator with the past through explorations of often overlooked cultural and political narratives from American history. Biggers’ has exhibited work in galleries including the Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, the Tate Modern\, London\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York. \nLeigh Raiford is Associate Professor of African American Studies at the University of California at Berkeley\, where she teaches and researches about race\, gender\, justice and visuality.

SUMMARY:Naya Jones — Conjure Geographies\, Covid-19\, and Healing Futures
DESCRIPTION:Reimagining cultural healing ways is central to healing justice\, Black Lives Matter\, and other contemporary movements. However\, “moving from race to culture to creation\,” as Resmaa Menakem puts it\, takes work. This talk engages in this work by centering epistemologies of Black/African-American traditional medicine\, often reclaimed as “conjure.” Drawing on short stories by Zora Neale Hurston and interviews\, Jones will consider how Black “knowings” of health\, healing\, and biomedicine continue to be both racialized and mobilized – and the urgency of taking other(ed) knowledge seriously in this pandemic moment (and beyond). \n \nRSVP by 11 AM (PST) on Wednesday\, February 10th; you will receive Zoom link and password at 11:30 AM the day of the colloquium. \nNaya Jones (she/her/hers) is an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Core Faculty in the Global and Community Health Program at UCSC. As a geographer and cultural worker\, she especially studies Black geographies of community health and healing in North and Latin America (African-American and Afro-Latinx). Often in partnership with community-rooted organizations\, she engages a range of storytelling\, embodied\, and arts-based methods. She is a former Culture of Health Leader (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, 2017-2020) and a recent recipient of the Anne S. Chatham Fellowship for Medicinal Botany (Garden Club of America). \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. We gather online at 12:10 PM\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. \nStaff assistance is provided by the Humanities Institute. \n*2020-2021 colloquia will be held virtually until further notice. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own coffee\, tea\, and cookies to the session.

SUMMARY:Daniella Farah: Jews in post-WWII Iran - Patriotism\, national belonging\, integration\, and identity
DESCRIPTION:Daniella Farah (Ph.D. candidate at Stanford University) will speak in HIS 74B about the effects of the Second World War on Jews in Iran and how this period shaped their political subjectivities. Jews have lived in Iran for over 2\,500 years\, with a population of 100\,000 at their height in 1945. Today\, Iran contains the largest number of Jews in the Middle East outside of Israel. During the twentieth century\, Iranian Jews experienced rapid upward mobility\, migrated within the country and abroad\, and participated in Iran’s major political and social movements. Yet\, despite this rich history\, it is only in the last ten years that scholars have started giving Iranian Jewish History serious academic attention. In this talk\, Daniella will offer a broad survey of Iranian Jewish history from the mid-1940s to the early 1980s. She will focus on these themes: the socioeconomic mobility of Iranian Jews\, identity formation\, proclamations of loyalty and belonging to the nation\, Jewish-Muslim interactions\, and the intersection of education and integration. \n \nDaniella Farah is a PhD Candidate in Jewish History at Stanford University and is the daughter of Iranian Jewish emigres. She specializes in the sociocultural histories of the Jews of the modern Middle East\, with a specific geographic focus on Iran and Turkey. Her work is situated at the intersection of Modern Jewish History\, Middle Eastern History\, Education History\, and Transnational Studies. Her article\, “‘The school is the link between the Jewish community and the surrounding milieu’: Education and the Jews of Iran from the mid-1940s to the late 1960s\,” is forthcoming with the journal of Middle Eastern Studies. \nHIS 74B “Introduction to Middle Eastern and North African Jewish History\, 1500-2000” surveys modern Jewish history from Morocco to Iran\, 1500-2000. Studying these populations through original documents\, scholarly works\, and literature imparts a unique perspective on both modern Jewish history and that of the region\, challenging and complementing standard narratives of each. \nThis course is supported by the Humanities Institute\, the Center for Jewish Studies\, and The Neufeld Levin Chair in Holocaust Studies. \n
