SUMMARY:Douglas Abrams - The Book of Hope
DESCRIPTION:VIRTUAL EVENT: Local author Douglas Abrams (The Book of Joy) will join Bookshop Santa Cruz for an online discussion of The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times\, his wonderful new collaboration with environmentalist Jane Goodall. This event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. \n“Vibrant with wry humor\, scientific fact\, grassroots advances\, compassion\, and spiritual depth\, this compelling and enlightening dialogue of hope amplifies Goodall’s mantra: ‘Together we can. Together we will.” —Booklist\, starred review. \n \nThe Book of Hope will be published on October 19th and may be preordered below. \nLooking at the headlines—the worsening climate crisis\, a global pandemic\, loss of biodiversity\, political upheaval— it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed. \nIn this urgent book\, Jane Goodall\, the world’s most famous living naturalist\, and Douglas Abrams\, the internationally bestselling co-author of The Book of Joy\, explore through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue one of the most sought after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope\, Jane focuses on her “Four Reasons for Hope”: The Amazing Human Intellect\, The Resilience of Nature\, The Power of Young People\, and The Indomitable Human Spirit. \nDrawing on decades of work that has helped expand our understanding of what it means to be human and what we all need to do to help build a better world\, The Book of Hope touches on vital questions\, including: How do we stay hopeful when everything seems hopeless? How do we cultivate hope in our children? What is the relationship between hope and action? Filled with moving and inspirational stories and photographs from Jane’s remarkable career\, The Book of Hope is a deeply personal conversation with one of the most beloved figures in the world today. \nWhile discussing the experiences that shaped her discoveries and beliefs\, Jane tells the story of how she became a messenger of hope\, from living through World War II to her years in Gombe to realizing she had to leave the forest to travel the world in her role as an advocate for environmental justice. And for the first time\, she shares her profound revelations about her next\, and perhaps final\, adventure. \nThe second book in the Global Icons Series—which launched with the instant classic The Book of Joy with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu—The Book of Hope is a rare and intimate look not only at the nature of hope but also into the heart and mind of a woman who revolutionized how we view the world around us and has spent a lifetime fighting for our future. \nThere is still hope\, and this book will help guide us to it. \nDouglas Abrams is the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu\, the first book in the Global Icons Series. Douglas is also the founder and president of Idea Architects\, a literary agency and media development company helping visionaries to create a wiser\, healthier\, and more just world. He lives in Santa Cruz\, California.

SUMMARY:Radhika Natarajan - Post-Imperial Contractions: Asian Migration and Marriage in Deindustrializing Britain
DESCRIPTION:The talk explores how Asian women became unassimilable in social work and public discourse in 1970s Britain. In the context of decolonization and deindustrialization\, the Pakistani woman who worked for wages posed a threat to the stability of the white male working class. To keep the Pakistani woman at home\, social workers created new forms of intervention into marriages\, offered English language classes to mothers at day care centers\, and extended the hand of friendship. From this perspective\, multiculturalist policies created Asian women as non-workers who needed extensive social welfare intervention. In doing so\, these policies reproduced the working class as male and white and the Asian woman as trapped by tradition. \n \nRadhika Natarajan is assistant professor of history and humanities at Reed College in Portland\, OR. Her research focuses on the remaking of imperial strategies of managing difference during decolonization. Her article “Performing Multiculturalism: the Commonwealth Arts Festival of 1965” appeared in the Journal of British Studies\, and she has also written essays on the transcolonial routes of community development and British social work intervention into Asian marriages. She is writing a book\, Empire and the Origins of Multiculturalism\, which examines encounters between British social work and migrants from the decolonizing empire during the era of the welfare state. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. We gather at 12:00 PM\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. \nFor Fall 2021\, the colloquium will take a hybrid format. Attendees have the option to attend in person in Humanities 210 or to watch the presentation on zoom. Those who attend in person must adhere to the campus mask mandate for all indoor activities and must complete UCSC’s symptom-check form before coming to campus. In person attendees are asked to please arrive at 12pm so that the event coordinators can verify the symptom check has been completed. To attend remotely via zoom\, please RSVP in advance\, and you will receive a zoom link on the morning of the colloquium. In most cases\, speakers will appear remotely so that they will not have to present wearing a mask. To RSVP for the full Fall colloquium series\, please use this form. If you have any questions about the colloquium\, please contact Piper Milton (pmilton@ucsc.edu). \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Nouri al-Jarrah with translator Camilo Gómez-Rivas and Omar Pimienta with translator José Antonio Villarán
DESCRIPTION:Nouri al-Jarrah is a Syrian poet and influential poetic voice on the Arab literary scene. He has lived in exile and been publishing his poetry for nearly 40 years. His poetry draws on diverse cultural sources\, and is marked by a special focus on mythology\, folk tales and legends. A Boat to Lesbos and Other Poems (Banipal Books\, 2018)\, is Nouri Al-Jarrah’s first collection in English translation. This powerful epic poem was written while thousands of Syrian refugees were enduring frightening journeys across the Mediterranean before arriving on the small island\, and set out like a Greek tragedy\, also has editions in French\, Italian\, Turkish\, Spanish\, Persian\, and forthcoming in Greek – a truly international response to the torment of the Syrian people during these last few years. \nCamilo Gómez-Rivas and Allison Blecker are the translators of Nouri al-Jarrah’s A Boat to Lesbos and Other Poems (Banipal Books\, 2018). Gómez-Rivas is an Associate Professor of Mediterranean Studies at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. He specializes in the cultures\, history\, and literatures of the medieval and early modern western Mediterranean. His book\, Law and the Islamization of Morocco under the Almoravids: the Fatwās of Ibn Rushd al-Jadd to the Far Maghrib\, analyzes a group of legal consultative texts between Cordoba and the Far Maghrib (what is today Morocco) and argues that legal institutions developed in the latter in response to the social needs of growing urban spaces and the administrative needs of the first Berber-Islamic empire. He is currently working on a second book-length project on the social and cultural history of the reception of displaced populations in the medieval and early modern western Mediterranean: a history of the refugees of the “reconquista.” In addition to translating modern Arabic literature\, he has also written on modern topics including legal reform in Morocco and Egypt. He received his PhD in Medieval Studies from Yale in 2009. After a two-year dissertation writing fellowship at Willamette University in\, Salem\, Oregon\, he spent five years teaching in the Department of Arab and Islamic Civilizations at the American University in Cairo. \nOmar Pimienta was born in Tijuana in 1978 and lives and works between San Diego and Tijuana. Pimienta has a Ph.D in Literature and an MFA from the University of California-San Diego as well as a B.A. in Latin American Studies\, San Diego State University. He has exhibited both nationally and internationally at spaces such as the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego; 5th Transborder Biennial with El Paso Museum of Art; MOCA Tucson. Arizona; Oceanside Museum of Art.; A Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA exhibit; Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach and the Paul Getty Museum Los Angeles\, CA. His books of poetry include\, Album of Fences (Cardboard House Press\, 2018)\, Inspección secudaria (Atrasalante Poesía\, 2017)\, El Álbum de las Rejas (Ediciones Liliputienses\, 2016)\, Escribo desde aquí (Pre-Textos\, 2010)\, La Libertad: ciudad de paso. (CECUT/ CONACULTA\, 2006; New edition\, Aullido libros\, Huelva\, España\, 2008)\, and Primera Persona: Ella. (Ediciones de la Esquina /Anortecer\, 2004; New Edition\, Littera libros\, Cáceres\, España. 2009). \nJosé Antonio Villarán is the translator of Omar Pimienta’s Album of Fences (Cardboard House Press\, 2018). He has bilingual fluency (English and Spanish) as a writer\, scholar\, translator and instructor. He is the author of two books of poetry: la distancia es siempre la misma (2006) & el cerrajero (2012). He is the creator of the AMLT project (http://amlt-elcomienzo.blogspot.pe)\, an exploration of hypertext literature and collective authorship. His third book\, titled open pit\, is forthcoming from AUB in 2021. Areas of focus include: Creative Writing\, Poetry/Poetics\, Cross-Genre Literature\, Literary Translation\, US-Latinx Literature\, Critical University Studies and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies. He holds an MFA in Writing from UCSD and a PhD in Literature with a Creative/Critical Writing Concentration from UCSC. \n \nThe World Beyond Us: A Living Writers Series – Taking advantage of our (hopefully) last virtual Living Writers this Fall\, 2021\, this series will be centered on writers working and living outside the United States\, writers who look beyond the U.S. in their work\, and writers who work in languages other than English. Due to the prohibitive cost of travel and lodging\, many of these writers would have been difficult if not impossible to bring in person. Some writers will read with their translators\, extending the conversation to the art of translation as well. Two of these translators are Literature Department professors and one a Literature Department graduate student\, highlighting the creative translation work being done in our own department. The U.S. publishes very little work in translation\, just 3% of the books published in the U.S. are translations\, compared to other countries (50% of Italy’s books are translations\, for example). Thus\, this series will expose students (as well as faculty and community members) to exciting writers\, writing and translations they very likely are not familiar with. \nThis series will also include one night of California speculative writers\, Claire Vaye Watkins and Cathy Thomas\, who will read and talk about California Futures. This California Futures evening will be sponsored by The Humanities Institute Research Cluster Speculatively Scientific Fictions of the Future.
