SUMMARY:How to Live Like Shakespeare
DESCRIPTION:This series of noontime conversations will feature key passages by Shakespeare\, selected for what they reveal about life and living. What are the virtues or capacities that Shakespeare took to be essential to social\, spiritual\, and civic happiness? How do Shakespeare’s speakers think out loud about values and ends\, and how does Shakespeare think in and through his characters about matters of meaning? What images did Shakespeare offer and what words did he choose to make these themes tangible to his actors and audiences and worthy of sharing with others? \n \nCo-hosted by Julia Lupton (UC Irvine) and Sean Keilen (UC Santa Cruz) \nMondays at noon\, April 5\, 12\, 19\, 26\, May 3\, 10\, 17\, 24 \nThemes addressed will include Imagination\, Friendship\, Fortitude\, Empathy\, Justice\, Forgiveness\, Hope\, and Courage. \nJulia Reinhard Lupton is professor of English at UC Irvine and the co-director of the New Swan Shakespeare Center.

SUMMARY:Counterpoints: A San Francisco Bay Area Atlas of Displacement and Resistance
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, May 4\, 2021 at 5:30pm–7:00pm\, there will be a University Forum to celebrate the launch of Counterpoints featuring original research from multiple campus contributors including SJRC’s Just Biomedicine research cluster and the No Place Like Home initiative. \nCounterpoints: A San Francisco Bay Area Atlas of Displacement and Resistance (PM Press) brings together cartography\, essays\, illustrations\, poetry\, and more in order to depict gentrification and resistance struggles from across the San Francisco Bay Area and act as a roadmap to counter-hegemonic knowledge making and activism. \n \nLearn more about book launch and the contributors. \nThe Science & Justice Research Center’s Just Biomedicine research cluster\, contributed a chapter titled: ‘Just Biomedicine on Third Street? Health and Wealth Inequities in San Francisco’s Biotech Hub.’ The Third Street project brings into view for public discussion the effects of the resulting financial and ideological investments in an imagined “future of medicine\,” and how they are changing the political landscapes\, built environments\, and health of Bay Area residents right now. \nThe Transportation\, Infrastructure\, and Economy contribution by Kristin Miller (Sociology). \nThe No Place Like Home project contributed a visual summary and map from their large-scale study of the affordable housing crisis for Santa Cruz County tenants. The survey results provide a springboard for the study’s wider discussion of local and regional policy options in addressing the housing crisis\, particularly for renters. \nCo-Sponsored by University Relations\, The Science & Justice Research Center\, The UC Santa Cruz Institute for Social Transformation\, The Humanities Institute\, the Genomics Institute\, and departments of Sociology and Feminist Studies.

SUMMARY:Larisa Jasarevic — Beekeeping in the End Times
DESCRIPTION:A family of would-be migrants reenacts a swarm hunt at their former apiary in northeastern Bosnia. Their folk spells were well-attuned to the sorts of crises that tatter old human-apian ties\, except the latest: extreme weather and emigration. Meanwhile\, one tepid February\, shepherds reflect on gratitude as their sheep graze by the growing coal-power plant. “The End is not yet\,” they say. These are snapshots of what Jasarevic calls the quiets of disaster. Sharing a rough cut of a story from an ethnographic film\, Jasarevic’s presentation concerns disaster ecology\, Islamic eschatology\, and ethnography as a homesteading craft. \n \nRSVP by 11 AM on Wednesday\, May 5th; you will receive the Zoom link and password at 11:30 AM the day of the colloquium. \nLarisa Jasarevic is an independent scholar and a 2021 Wenner-Gren Fejos Fellow. An anthropologist\, she has research interests in bodies and health\, nature\, and eschatology. A beekeeper and a homesteader\, she is developing dread about multispecies climate futures. Her second book\, Beekeeping in the End Times(IUP)\, is in preparation. She taught for a decade at the University of Chicago. \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:Special Issue Launch: Borderland Regimes and Resistance in Global Perspective
DESCRIPTION:This roundtable celebrates the launch of the Critical Ethnic Studies special issue “Borderland Regimes and Resistance in Global Perspective.” Taking up sites that range from US/Mexico\, to the Mediterranean\, to Palestine/Israel\, and beyond\, the special issue’s contributors move past superficial comparisons and think through the circulation of technologies\, expertise\, policing\, and surveillance alongside the circulation of anti-colonial strategies via transnational social movements. By bridging conversations that are typically kept in separate academic silos — for example\, critical refugee studies\, Asian American studies\, Black studies\, Native studies\, Middle East studies\, European critical migration studies\, comparative colonial studies — this collaboration has generated rigorous and empirically grounded investigations of borders that respond to the urgent challenges of our current moment as they relate to questions of migration and displacement. \n \nPanelists: \n\nJosen Diaz (University of San Diego)\nIvan Char-Lopez (UT Austin)\nLoubna Qutami (UCLA)\nJennifer Mogannam (UC Davis)\nLeslie Quintanilla (SF State)\nEmily Hue (UC Riverside)\nDavorn Sisavath (Fresno State)\nNick Mitchell (UCSC)\n\nPresented by The Humanities Institute’s Border Regimes and Resistance in Global Perspective Cluster
