SUMMARY:Brandi Thompson Summers - Spatial Temporalities: The Future-Pasts of Black Dispossession
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Summers explores the history of unhoused populations in Oakland\, the cyclical displacements of Black locals\, and the appearance and reappearance of parking lots in these stories of disruption. She tells the story of West Oakland\, in particular\, as a testing ground for speculative urbanism–an urbanism based not in speculator’s profit or the spectacles of a city’s self-branding\, but in the utopian and dystopian possibilities that unfold in an ongoing (implicitly and explicitly racialized) housing emergency. This event will be fully remote\, with attendance only via Zoom. \n \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 Spring 2022\, the colloquium will take a hybrid format\, with the option of in-person or virtual attendance. Attendees have the option to attend in person in Humanities 210 or to watch the presentation on zoom. 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 Spring colloquium series\, please use this form. If you have any questions about the colloquium\, please contact Piper Milton (cult@ucsc.edu). \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - Stories from the Field
DESCRIPTION:While humanities doctoral programs tend to focus on training students for tenure track faculty positions\, many PhDs pursue jobs outside of a university setting. According to the UC Humanities Research Institute’s recent report\, Stories from the Field\, more than a quarter of UC humanities doctoral alumni reported that they did not seek a tenure track faculty position when they started their PhD programs\, and this percentage increased during the isolation of the dissertation writing process and the challenges of the academic job market. UC humanities PhDs go into a wide range of careers – from positions in the non-profit sector to marketing and communications work and jobs in the tech industry. Stories from the Field considers the economic and professional outcomes of humanities PhDs\, to better track where humanists end up\, how they apply their expertise\, and the ways they are contributing to society. Examining faculty positions alongside other careers\, the report promotes a broader definition of what success looks like for humanities PhDs. \nJoin us for a conversation with Kelly Anne Brown (Literature Ph.D.\, ’11)\, Associate Director of UCHRI\, and UC Santa Cruz Literature alumni to discuss findings from Stories from the Field and the diverse range of careers that humanities PhDs pursue. Our Literature graduate alumni panelists include J. Josh Guevara (Ph.D. ’12)\, Warren Hoffman (Ph.D.\, ’04)\, Andrea Quaid (Ph.D.\, ’14)\, and Cathy Thomas (Ph.D.\, ’19). Many PhD alumni are eager to keep in touch with graduate program networks as well as support current students and this event provides an opportunity to further those connections. The workshop is being held during Alumni Week to encourage faculty\, graduate students\, and alumni to all engage in this important discussion and reflection about graduate humanities training at UC Santa Cruz and opportunities beyond. \nPanelists: \nAs the Associate Director of UCHRI\, Kelly Anne Brown manages a diverse portfolio of projects\, including the UC-wide competitive grants program\, Humanists@Work\, and Horizons of the Humanities\, among others.
