SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Dickens Fellowship: A Tale of Two Cities
DESCRIPTION:A Tale of Two Cities is a historical novel set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. It is the story of the French Doctor Manette\, his 18-year-long imprisonment in the Bastille in Paris\, and his release to live in London with his daughter Lucie whom he had never met. The story details the conditions that led to the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. \nIts central themes–cultural and historical difference\, the nature of political revolution and change\, the identity and narration of the self\, sacrifice\, secrecy heroism–find expression through an often weird or gothic concern with bodies and their doubles\, split identities\, and the uncertain boundaries of life and death. \nJoin Wayne Batten and the Santa Cruz Dickens Fellowship for a series of discussions about Dickens’s most enduring–and shortest!–novels.

SUMMARY:Conversation on The Celine Archive with Filmmaker and Arts Dean Celine Parreñas
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Racial Justice presents a conversation on The Celine Archive with Filmmaker and Arts Dean Celine Parreñas. \nIn 1932\, Celine Navarro was buried alive by her own community of Filipino Americans in northern California. Filmmaker Celine Parreñas Shimizu\, finding kinship with Navarro’s long-lost story\, exhumes her tragic life story while trying to unravel the mystery of her murder. This documentary paints a vivid portrait of the early Filipino migrant community\, creating space not just for a reckoning with the haunting violence of Navarro’s murder\, but also belated community grief. \n \nPlease view the film in advance.

SUMMARY:The Helen Diller Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies: A Conversation with Ethan Michaeli
DESCRIPTION:Please join us The Helen Diller Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies\, which promises to be a lively conversation between Ethan Michaeli\, award-winning author of the new book\, Twelve Tribes: Promise and Peril in the New Israel\, and Nathaniel Deutsch\, Baumgarten Endowed Chair in Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz. Taking place on May 24th at 6:00 PM. \nRSVP to attend virtually here. \nTwelve Tribes explores tribalism in Israel and Palestine by weaving together personal histories of ordinary citizens from all walks of life\, revealing the land’s extraordinary\, polyphonic diversity as well as its volatility. An American Jew with close family in Israel\, Michaeli used his background and language skills to gain access to Israelis and Palestinians of all sectors during his travels across the country over four crucial years. Michaeli met with the aging revolutionaries who founded Israel’s kibbutz movement and the young people working for the country’s booming Big Tech companies\, Ethiopian Jews and ultra-Orthodox Haredim. Twelve Tribes examines Israeli-Palestinian relations at the grassroots level with portraits of Palestinian citizens of Israel and those living in the territory ruled by the Palestinian Authority\, as well as Israeli settlers and soldiers\, illuminating how the conflicts there have global consequences. The book also explores the rapidly changing relationship between Israel and the United States\, whose political interactions are increasingly fraught even as their military industries and even legal systems are more enmeshed. \nEthan Michaeli is an award-winning author\, educator and publisher whose latest book\, Twelve Tribes: Promise and Peril in the New Israel (Custom House\, 2021)\, was praised by The New York Times Book Review\, which noted that “…illuminating conversations with a wide variety of ordinary people — ultra-Orthodox Jews\, Holocaust survivors\, aging kibbutzniks\, Ethiopian and Russian immigrants\, Arab citizens of Israel\, Jewish settlers and Palestinians in the West Bank — fill the pages of this richly descriptive book.” The New York Times applauded Ethan’s first book The Defender: How the Legendary Black Newspaper Changed America\, (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt\, 2016) as “a towering achievement that will not be soon forgotten.” The Defender was named a Notable Book of 2016 by The New York Times\, The Washington Post and Amazon\, awarded the Best Non Fiction of 2016 prizes from the Chicago Writers Association as well as the Midland Authors Association\, and placed on the short list for the Mark Lynton Prize. \n\nThis event is made possible by generous support from the Helen Diller Family Endowment and the Center for Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Barbara McCullough in Conversation with Lior Shamriz
DESCRIPTION:A native of New Orleans\, Barbara McCullough has spent most of her life in southern California. Her initial interest was in photography but the moving image\, immediacy\, and possible forum for ideas set her on a path of exploration. McCullough’s work progressed to examining the creative process of artists but always maintaining a fascination with experimental film and video. McCullough sees herself as part of the continuum of African American storytellers whose aim is to preserve knowledge by capturing the essence of her culture — its life\, spirit\, and magic. She states\, “I am dedicated to the preservation of the heritage of the African American artist/cultural worker by documenting her/his achievements for future generations to keep the music and visual poetry alive.” Her work has been shown in galleries\, museums\, and film festivals nationally and internationally and she is associated with UCLA filmmakers known as the LA Rebellion. \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.
