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. She is the author or co-author of five books on Shakespeare and the editor or co-editor of many volumes and journal issues. Recent works include Shakespeare Dwelling: Designs for the Theater of Life and Face to Face in Shakespearean Drama\, co-edited with Matthew Smith. Professor Lupton is a Guggenheim laureate and a former Trustee of the Shakespeare Association of America. Her current projects address Shakespeare\, virtue\, and wisdom literature. She is an award-winning teacher and community educator. \nSean Keilen is Professor of Literature at UC Santa Cruz and the Director of UCSC Shakespeare Workshop. He is the author of Vulgar Eloquence: On the Renaissance Invention of English Literature and an editor of many volumes of criticism\, most recently The Routledge Research Companion to Shakespeare and Classical Literature (with Nick Moschovakis).

SUMMARY:Yasmeen Daifallah — Theorize and Decolonize: Critiques of Colonial Subjectivity in Contemporary Arab Thought
DESCRIPTION:What does it take to cultivate decolonized subjects in postcolonial times? When anti-colonial struggles are all said and done\, and the dust settles on a profoundly reshaped social\, economic\, and political landscape in their wake\, what kinds of intellectual and political labor are required to undo colonized subjectivities and to gradually and systematically produce decolonized ones in their stead? This talk brings the oeuvres of central contemporary Arab thinkers to bear on these questions and discusses what the current resonances of their thought might be for our times. \n \nRSVP by 11 AM on Wednesday\, May 26th; you will receive the Zoom link and password at 11:30 AM the day of the colloquium. \nYasmeen Daifallah is Assistant Professor of Politics at UCSC and has been teaching there since January 2019. She arrived by way of UMass-Amherst\, the University of Southern California\, and UC Berkeley\, where she also earned her PhD in political science. She has research interests in critical and postcolonial theory\, comparative political theory\, and Arab and Islamic political thought. \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:One year later\, have we gotten anywhere?
DESCRIPTION:On May 25\, 2020\, George Floyd was murdered when a white police officer placed his knee on Floyd’s neck. Coast-to-coast\, protests erupted\, and\, locally\, Santa Cruz police Chief Andy Mills took a knee alongside Mayor Justin Cummings and a sea of protestors in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. \nBut while that might be a sign of progress\, there have been other signs that America\, and Santa Cruz\, haven’t moved forward like some might have hoped in terms of racial justice in the past year. \nFrom the shootings of other young Black men nationally to “no white guilt” rocks turning up in Santa Cruz County to hate being directed at Asian Americans here and elsewhere\, there’s a lot to ponder one year after Floyd’s killing. \n \nLookout Santa Cruz invited some key community voices to speak about how far they believe we’ve come\, both as a community here in Santa Cruz County and as a nation. The list of speakers will include: \nDr. David H. Anthony III has been a professor of African History at UC Santa Cruz since 1988. Anthony’s focus on research includes: African and African-American history\, art\, music\, literature and cinema; Eastern and Southern Africa; African languages; Indian Ocean world; African and African American linkages; Islamic civilization; African diaspora studies; World history. Anthony is a leader in campus public service\, and has participated in a broad range of events such as film screenings\, public talks and exhibitions\, including the UC Santa Cruz Annual Martin Luther King\, Jr Memorial Convocation. \nCat Willis is the Founder and Executive Director of the Tannery World Dance and Cultural Center. She is a founding member of the Santa Cruz County Black Coalition for Justice and Racial Equity and is founding director of the Black Health Matters Initiative alongside community partners; County Park Friends\, United Way of\, NAACP Santa Cruz Chapter\, Blended Bridge\, and the SCC Black Coalition for Justice and Racial Equity. She currently sits on the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County RISE Together leadership circle and the Santa Cruz County’s Commission on Anti-Racism\, Economic & Social (CARES) Justice. \nSpike Wong is local playwright and former school teacher. Born in Watsonville\, Spike had the quintessential 1950’s small town California upbringing. His father’s parents had landed here while they were agricultural laborers and cannery workers. After his father’s WWII military service in the US Army Air Force\, he eventually became a partner in a grocery store. His mom was a business and school secretary through most of her working career. Through their hard work\, all three of their sons graduated from college. \nMaria Cadenas is the executive director of Santa Cruz Community Ventures\, which is committed to developing compassionate and local equitable economies that contribute to the region’s well-being. Her work focuses on the development of scalable models to address income and wealth gaps\, especially those faced by communities of color and women. In the words of Community Action Board of Santa Cruz County’s MariaElena De La Garza: “Maria is a fierce advocate for the community impacted by poverty. She offers tangible and thoughtful solutions to make our community stronger!” \nThis event is presented by Lookout Santa Cruz and co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Articulating Trust: A cross-disciplinary roundtable conversation
DESCRIPTION:“Articulating Trust: A cross-disciplinary roundtable conversation about language rights and socio-linguistic justice in higher education and beyond” will be followed by a Q&A and discussion with the audience. \nIn this conversation\, we are hoping to further develop the notion of Language Rights\, recently applied to the context of higher education. The right to one’s own linguistic variety marks an overdue departure from the deeply entrenched norm that would restrict the language of knowledge and thought to a so-called “standard” language. In this roundtable we hope to begin to articulate a related and practical notion of Linguistic Trust\, where interlocutors in research and educational roles invite other interlocutors to participate while using a non-standard variety. Our main question will be: How could an invitation to participate in a “non-standard” variety be articulated? What are some of the strategies or cues which could be leveraged to invite our interlocutors to use non-standard varieties\, especially in settings (such as classroom teaching\, mentoring\, researching) in which hegemonic norms would dictate the exclusive use of a standard variety? By bringing together scholars from different disciplines we hope to open up a conversation about what it means to build trust in sociolinguistic diversity and how hegemonic linguistic norms can be subverted – one interaction at a time. \n \nFor more information and to receive the Zoom link to discussion\, please see: https://sites.google.com/ucsc.edu/articulatingtrust/home \nHosted by Linguistics\, Anthropology\, and co-sponsored by the Humanities Institute. \nRoundtable Participants: \nKara Hisatake received her PhD in Literature from the University of California\, Santa Cruz and writes about settler colonialism\, language politics\, decolonization\, race\, and gender in Hawai’i and the broader Pacific. Her work appears in Archiving Settler Colonialism: Culture\, Space\, and Race (2018)\, edited by Yu-ting Huang and Rebecca Weaver-Hightower\, and in Amerasia. She currently teaches high school in Honolulu. \nKelsey Sasaki is a Ph.D. candidate in Linguistics. Since 2016\, she has worked with speakers of Santiago Laxopa Zapotec on a variety of projects\, from psycholinguistic studies to public language-learning classes. This year\, she is a THI Public Fellow of Senderos\, a local nonprofit that serves the Latino/a/x community. \nDr. Bahiyyah Maroon is a nationally recognized thought leader on equity and social change. She’s appeared in Women’s Health\, Self\, Bustle\, and Health Daily. Out magazine named her a top ten innovator in the nation for her contributions to social change by dignified design. Dr. Maroon is the CEO of Polis\, an applied research institute. She is also a proud recipient of the U.S. President’s Volunteer Service Award for her contributions to equity in STEM education. She received her doctorate in anthropology from UCSC. Dr. Maroon has provided strategic insights to Intel Corporation\, Harvard University\, the US Dept. of Justice\, and the US Dept. of Labor among others. Dr. Maroon is passionate about deploying social science to create solutions that result in a more compassionate and equitable world. \nMegan Moodie is a cultural anthropologist who specializes in feminist theory and disability politics. Her current project looks at the ways that women living with chronic pain negotiate work\, family\, and medical spaces and engage in forms of self advocacy and political organizing in which complex chronic illness becomes a site of identification or “biosociality.” As an essayist\, fiction writer\, dramatist/screenwriter\, and film critic who often engages with audiences outside academia\, she frequently works at the arts/social sciences interface; building on a long tradition in anthropology in which creative practices inform social science research\, she is the founder of the Center for Artful Ethnography here at UC Santa Cruz\, which will be a hub for innovative teaching and research. \nIvy Sichel is a syntactician with a growing interest in Language and Society in the US and in Israel. Her recent work focuses on ideology\, identity\, and the state\, in the emergence and consolidation of modern vernacular Hebrew in the 20th century\, in Israel/Palestine. She is trying to understand what it means for a language to be gendered or racialized\, through the prism of emergent Modern Hebrew\, which\, although perhaps unique in terms of the historical conditions that led to its emergence\, is arguably exemplary of the ways in which our languages are always sedimented\, politically and ideologically.
