SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop – Writing the Curriculum Vitae
DESCRIPTION:Applications for academic positions require a CV\, and some alternative-academic employers also require them. Even if your post-graduate career will be outside academia\, having a CV in addition to a resume will help you realize your transferable skills. This workshop will be led by Veronica Heiskell\, Ph.D. (Associate Director of Experiential Learning and Student Employment\, Career Success). \nThe Division of Graduate Studies’ professional communication workshop on “Writing the Curriculum Vitae” is co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute as part of our 2021-2022 PhD+ series. Workshops presented by the Division of Graduate Studies are for current UC Santa Cruz graduate students and require an active UC Santa Cruz email address. \n \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series\nJoin us for the sixth year of The Humanities Institute’s PhD+ Workshops.

SUMMARY:BuYun Chen - Making the Intangible Tangible: Craft\, History\, and the Ryukyus
DESCRIPTION:How did the global and regional circulation of resources\, techniques\, and technologies transform local ecologies\, practices\, and livelihoods? Located between the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean\, the Ryukyu Kingdom (?-1879; modern-day Okinawa\, Japan) was a vital entrepôt in the early modern world\, facilitating the movement of goods and people between northeast Asia and southeast Asia. This talk situates craft practices and material knowledge at the center of Ryukyu history to explore the historical entanglements of materials\, bodies\, and skills in the making and remaking of culture. \n \nBuYun Chen is Associate Professor of Asian history at Swarthmore College. She is the author of Empire of Style: Silk and Fashion in Tang China (University of Washington Press\, 2019). Her current research explores the relationship between craft production\, statecraft practices\, and ecological change in the independent Ryukyu Kingdom (modern-day Okinawa\, Japan) from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries. \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: Claire Vaye Watkins and Cathy Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Claire Vaye Watkins is the author of two novels I Love You but I’ve Chosen Darkness (Riverhead Books\, 2021) and Gold Fame Citrus (Riverhead Books\, 2015). She is also the author of the short story collection Battleborn (Riverhead Books\, 2012)\, winner of the Story Prize\, the Rosenthal Family Foundation Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, and a Silver Pen Award from the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame. Battleborn was named a Best Book of 2012 by the San Francisco Chronicle\, Boston Globe\, Time Out New York\, and Flavorwire\, and a Best Short Story Collection by NPR.org. In 2012\, the National Book Foundation named Claire one of the 5 Best Writers Under 35. Her stories and essays have appeared in Granta\, One Story\, The Paris Review\, Ploughshares\, Glimmer Train\, Best of the West 2011\, Best of the Southwest 2013\, and elsewhere. \nCathy Thomas is an Assistant Professor at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. She has worked for NBC\, CBS\, Warner Bros. and in film development for Forest Whitaker. She is a script reader for Annapurna Pictures and Skydance Media. Some of her recent research is published in a chapter of Articulating the Action Figure: Essays on Toys and Their Messages; short stories and essays in Positive Magnets Journal; and a forthcoming memory project Wax on\, Wax Off. She is Managing Editor of The C.O.U.P Project\, a multi-platform dialogic journal engaged in acute critiques of power\, privilege\, domination\, and the violences they produce. She received her Ph.D. in Literature with a Creative/Critical Writing Concentration at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where she was awarded a UC President’s Dissertation Year Fellowship and examined carnivalesque in Caribbean literature with her spec fiction novel Poco Mas. \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.
