SUMMARY:Dickens Day of Writing
DESCRIPTION:The Dickens Project is the premier center in the United States for the study of Charles Dickens and nineteenth-century studies. Founded in 1981 and based at UC Santa Cruz\, the Project is an international consortium made up of over 40 universities and colleges\, including universities in Britain\, Canada\, Australia\, and Israel. \nAs part of our mission to promote the study of Victorian texts\, we strive to assist young scholars in examining the cultural relevance of nineteenth-century literature to the twenty-first-century world. The Dickens Day of Writing will focus on “Night Walks\,” a Dickens essay that examines the homeless endemic in Victorian England\, to cultivate greater awareness about social justice issues like homelessness and housing instability in Santa Cruz County. \nThe Dickens Day of Writing is both a writing retreat and a writing competition designed to support junior and senior high school students in their futures as college students and professionals. Through reflecting on a short essay by Charles Dickens\, the students will reinforce skills learned in the classroom\, such as critical reading\, analytical reasoning\, argumentative writing\, creative production\, and cultural history to prepare them for life beyond high school. \n  \n                  \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nto strengthen literary analysis skills\nto develop strong critical thinking skills\nto prepare students for timed writing tests\nto foster social engagement between students and the Santa Cruz community\n\nBenefits and support for teachers and schools: \n\nhonoraria of $50 to participating teachers\nfunding for substitute teachers and travel assistance the day of the event\nan annotated edition of “Night Walks” by Charles Dickens and lesson plans\na visiting guest lecture by a Dickens Project scholar\nwriting support for students\nfree registration to attend the Dickens Universe\n\nBenefits and support for students: \n\nexposure to the campus and culture of a major research university to support college preparation work\nthe publication of their Day of Writing Essay in a printed volume\nindividual mentorships with faculty and students at the university level\nthe chance for extra timed-writing test preparation\nwriting support to develop strong writing skills\nthe chance to win a cash prize\nthe chance to receive a fellowship to attend the Dickens Universe and a corresponding Department of\nLiterature course for 5 UC credits\nfree registration to attend the Dickens Universe\n\nThe top three essayists will receive cash prizes. 1st Place: $500\, 2nd Place: $300\, 3rd Place: $150 \nAdditionally\, the first place essayist will be invited to attend the Dickens Universe conference (July 24-30\, 2022)\, and will be eligible to receive 5 UC quarter units of undergraduate credit through UCSC Summer Session (upon completion of course assignments). \nCollaborators & Co-sponsors: Julie Minnis\, The Friends of the Dickens Project\, The Jordan-Stern Presidential Chair for Dickens and Nineteenth-Century Studies\, Santa Cruz County Office of Education\, UCSC’s Department of Literature\, Education Department\, University Library\, The Humanities Institute\, Sentinel Printers\, and David A.

SUMMARY:Michelle C. Velazquez-Potts - Force-Feeding and the Suspended Animation of Torture
DESCRIPTION:Since 2002\, prisoners at Guantánamo Bay detention camp have been force-fed as punishment for hunger striking\, prompting the question of how to understand the feeding tube’s various uses as both a form of medical treatment and torture instrument. By placing force-feeding practices at Guantánamo Bay within a larger history of medicalized punishment\, this talk tracks how the functions of the feeding tube are altered and reimagined by the US military. The talk also explores end-of-life politics at Guantánamo Bay by investigating the recent possibility of palliative care for aging prisoners at the camps. I consider how the military’s plans for hospice is made possible by humanitarian logics of war that continue to centralize care in similar ways to that of force-feeding. Please note: 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.
