SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Pickwick Club: "Night Walks" by Charles Dickens
DESCRIPTION:For its next meeting\, the Santa Cruz Pickwick Club will read Dickens’s short\, semi-autobiographical essay\, “Night Walks.” Professor John Jordan will lead the discussion. Originally published in 1860 in Dickens’s weekly magazine All the Year Round\, the essay is a good example of Dickens’s work as a journalist\, social activist\, and observer of the modern metropolis. It is also a powerful piece of writing in its own right. \nIn “Night Walks\,” Dickens assumes the identity of a man who suffers from insomnia and whose remedy for this affliction is to walk at night through the streets of the city until dawn before returning home exhausted to fall asleep. The essay describes the people he encounters and the places he sees on these walks. \nA nocturnal walking tour through the heart of London\, “Night Walks” engages our sympathies and enlarges our social vision. It invites the reader to look at familiar places with fresh eyes\, to see people who might otherwise remain invisible\, and to imagine what we may have in common with those less fortunate than ourselves. \nShort\, accessible\, and highly relevant to social problems still facing us today\, “Night Walks” for these reasons may interest schoolteachers in particular as a useful text for introducing Dickens to their students. \nThe Dickens Project has produced an electronic version of this essay. A link to this edition is included below. Only a dozen or so pages long\, the essay comes with notes\, a map of London indicating principal landmarks mentioned in the essay\, and a brief introduction by Professor Jordan. \n \nRecommended Edition: Click here to download a PDF of the Dickens Project’s edition of this essay.

SUMMARY:John W. Reid\, "Ever Green: Saving Big Forests to Save the Planet"
DESCRIPTION:Five stunningly large forests remain on Earth: the Taiga\, extending from the Pacific Ocean across all of Russia and far-northern Europe; the North American boreal\, ranging from Alaska’s Bering seacoast to Canada’s Atlantic shore; the Amazon\, covering almost the entirety of South America’s bulge; the Congo\, occupying parts of six nations in Africa’s wet equatorial middle; and the island forest of New Guinea\, twice the size of California. \nThese megaforests are vital to preserving global biodiversity\, thousands of cultures\, and a stable climate\, as economist John W. Reid and celebrated biologist Thomas E. Lovejoy argue convincingly in Ever Green. Megaforests serve an essential role in decarbonizing the atmosphere–the boreal alone holds 1.8 trillion metric tons of carbon in its deep soils and peat layers\, 190 years’ worth of global emissions at 2019 levels–and saving them is the most immediate and affordable large-scale solution to our planet’s most formidable ongoing crisis. \nReid and Lovejoy offer practical solutions to address the biggest challenges these forests face\, from vastly expanding protected areas\, to supporting Indigenous forest stewards\, to planning smarter road networks. In gorgeous prose that evokes the majesty of these ancient forests along with the people and animals who inhabit them\, Reid and Lovejoy take us on an exhilarating global journey. \n \n \nJohn W. Reid is a conservationist and economist whose writing has appeared in outlets including the New York Times and Scientific American. He is the founder and former head of Conservation Strategy Fund\, winner of the MacArthur Foundation Award for Creative and Effective Institutions. He currently serves as senior economist for the nonprofit Nia Tero and lives in Sebastopol\, California. \nThis event is co-sponsored by Bookshop Santa Cruz and The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Social Movements for a Just Society - Necessary Trouble: Thinking with the Legacy of John R. Lewis
DESCRIPTION:“A democracy cannot thrive where power remains unchecked and justice is reserved for a select few. Ignoring these cries and failing to respond to this movement is simply not an option — for peace cannot exist where justice is not served.” — John Lewis said of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act \nReady for some Necessary Trouble? In anticipation and in honor of the dedication of John R. Lewis College at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, the Division of Social Sciences\, Colleges Nine and Ten\, the Institute for Social Transformation\, and the Center for Racial Justice are organizing five events centered on topics exemplified by the life of Representative John Lewis. \nFeatured Speakers: \nVeronica Terriquez \nHiroshi Fukurai \nElizabeth Beaumont \nRekia Gina Jibrin \nAt UC Santa Cruz\, we believe that the real change is us. This series will highlight the efforts of faculty\, students\, staff\, community leaders\, and alumni in their commitments to social and racial justice\, civic engagement and democracy. It is an opportunity for us all to reflect on how we can help carry John R. Lewis’ legacy forward in the future. \n
