SUMMARY:Naya Jones + Jennifer Steverson — The Art of Black Ecologies: A Virtual Studio Visit & Conversation
DESCRIPTION:The concept of black ecologies underscores the undue impact of climate and environmental injustice on Black diaspora communities while lifting up “insurgent” Black ecological knowledge (Roane & Hosbey 2019). Join us for a virtual studio visit and conversation on art and black ecologies with independent scholar and artist Jennifer Steverson. Steverson uses indigo dye\, textiles\, and archives to highlight Black diaspora community and resilience practices created through art\, craft\, and agriculture. She will be in conversation with arts-based geographer Naya Jones (UCSC Sociology). This event is moderated by the UCSC Black Geographies Lab and is part of the growing Black Botany Studio. \n \nNaya Jones (she/her/hers) is a UCSC Assistant Professor of Sociology and Core Faculty in the Global and Community Health Program. She is a geographer and cultural worker whose solo and collaborative work foregrounds Black geographies of health\, ecologies\, and healing in North and Latin America. She practices arts-based methods\, from participatory film to ritual and botanical arts. Her current book and storytelling project focuses on African-American plant knowledge and the Great Migration. She initiated the Black Botany Studio\, a research lab\, to promote the study and art of black diaspora plant geographies. \nJennifer Steverson (she/her/hers) is an independent scholar and multi media artist based in Central Texas. Her work is informed by the cultural ecologies of the African Diaspora\, specifically by the way that Black people have crafted community and resilience practices through art\, craft\, and agriculture. She completed her undergraduate work at Eugene Lang College\, a division of the New School and her masters degree in Community and Regional Planning at UT Austin. Jennifer was a Hive Collective Artist in Residence in 2019. In 2020\, she completed a Texas Folklife Apprenticeship focused on quilting. She was a researcher on the Carver Museum’s African American Presence exhibit which opened in February 2020. Her work has appeared in the Rootwork Journal. \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: Lara Vapnyar
DESCRIPTION:Lara Vapnyar moved from Moscow to Brooklyn in the 1990s. Knowing very little English\, she quickly picked up the language and soon began writing in it. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2011. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker\, Harper’s Magazine\, and Zoetrope: All-Story. She is the author of two short story collections\, There are Jews in My House (Anchor\, 2003) and Broccoli and Other Tales of Food and Love (Anchor\, 2008) as well as four novels\, Memoirs of a Muse (Vintage\, 2006)\, The Scent of Pine (Simon & Schuster\, 2014)\, Still Here (Hogarth\, 2016)\, and Divide Me by Zero (Tin House Books\, 2019). She lives in New York City with her family. \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.
