SUMMARY:Celeste Ng\, Our Missing Hearts
DESCRIPTION:Celeste Ng\, number one bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere\, will be on campus for an event celebrating her new book\, Our Missing Hearts—a deeply suspenseful and heartrending novel about the unbreakable love between a mother and child in a society consumed by fear. Ng will be in-conversation with local writer Ellen Bass. \nThis ticketed event will take place at the Cowell Ranch Hay Barn and is co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute\, Bookshop Santa Cruz\, and KAZU 90.3. Tickets include entry to the in-person event plus a hardcover copy of Our Missing Hearts. Guests can purchase tickets here. \nTHI will provide 15 free tickets (with a free copy of the book) to UC Santa Cruz students on a first come\, first served basis. At this time\, all of the student tickets have been claimed. \nOur Missing Hearts is an old story made new\, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can ignore the most searing injustice. It’s a story about the power–and limitations–of art to create change\, the lessons and legacies we pass on to our children\, and how any of us can survive a broken world with our hearts intact. \nCELESTE NG is the number one New York Times bestselling author of Everything I Never Told You and Little Fires Everywhere. Her third novel\, Our Missing Hearts\, will be published in October 2022. Ng is the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation\, and her work has been published in over thirty languages. \nELLEN BASS’s most recent collection\, Indigo\, was published by Copper Canyon Press in 2020. Her other poetry books include Like a Beggar\, The Human Line\, and Mules of Love. Her poems appear  frequently in The New Yorker\, American Poetry Review\, and many other journals. Among her awards are Fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation\, The NEA\, and The California Arts Council\, The Lambda Literary Award\, and three Pushcart Prizes. A Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets\, Bass founded poetry workshops at Salinas Valley State Prison and the Santa Cruz\, California jails\, and teaches in the MFA writing program at Pacific University.

SUMMARY:Intellectual Property Wars: The Battle for Access to Medicines
DESCRIPTION:The globalization of intellectual property in the 1980s has coincided with some of the deadliest pandemics\, epidemics and outbreaks\, from HIV\, hepatitis C\, SARS\, and recently COVID -19. Tahir Amin will take us through his and his organization’s journey over two decades fighting the ever growing intellectual property systems being pushed by the US\, EU and their pharmaceutical companies that are blocking affordable access to medicines for billions of low income populations around the world. After a brief presentation\, he will be joined by Anna Maria Barry-Jester for a conversation and Q&A. \n \nThis event is free and open to the public. Registration required. \nDoors open at 6pm\, program begins at 7pm. Kuumbwa Jazz Center’s kitchen will be open for refreshments before and during the program. \nTahir Amin\, LL.B.\, Dip. LP.\, is a founder and executive director of the Initiative for Medicines\, Access & Knowledge (I-MAK)\, a nonprofit organisation working to address structural inequities in how medicines are developed and distributed. He has over 25 years of experience in intellectual property (IP) law\, during which he has practised with two of the leading IP law firms in the United Kingdom and served as IP Counsel for multinational corporations. His work focuses on re-shaping IP laws and the related global political economy to better serve the public interest\, by changing the structural power dynamics that allow health and economic inequities to persist. \nAmin and I-MAK have also put out a 10 point plan for the Biden-Harris administration to bring equity into the patent system\, and their work is highlighted in the New York Times Editorial Board’s recent endorsement of patent reform. He is a former Harvard Medical School Fellow in the Department of Global Health & Social Medicine and TED Fellow. Amin has served as legal advisor/consultant to many international groups\, including the European Patent Office and World Health Organization\, and has testified before the U.S. Congress on intellectual property and unsustainable drug price. \nAnna Maria Barry-Jester is a public health reporter with ProPublica\, a nonprofit investigative news organization. Previously\, she was a senior correspondent covering public health at Kaiser Health News. Her series “Underfunded and Under Threat\,” with colleagues at KHN and The Associated Press\, investigated how chronically underfunded public health departments buckled under the strain of the coronavirus pandemic. The project won awards from the Online News Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Her reporting on harassment and menacing threats endured by public health officials was the basis of an episode of “This American Life\,” and PEN America later awarded its PEN/Benenson Courage Award to the officials she profiled. A multimedia journalist\, Barry-Jester has lived and worked in Latin America and Southeast Asia\, where she has reported\, photographed and filmed stories in more than a dozen countries. Before Kaiser Health News\, she was a writer at FiveThirtyEight and a producer at Univision and ABC News. She has a master’s degree in public health from Columbia University\, where she focused on epidemiology and global health. \nThis is the inaugural event of the “Race\, Empire\, and the Environments of Biomedicine” Sawyer Seminar series. \n

SUMMARY:Temple Grandin\, Visual Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes bestselling author Temple Grandin (Thinking In Pictures) for a discussion of her new book\, Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think In Pictures\, Patterns\, and Abstractions. This offsite\, ticketed event will take place at the Cowell Ranch Hay Barn and is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz and KAZU 90.3. \n \nA landmark book that reveals\, celebrates\, and advocates for the special minds and contributions of visual thinkers. \nA quarter of a century after her memoir\, Thinking in Pictures\, forever changed how the world understood autism\, Temple Grandin—the “anthropologist from Mars\,” as Oliver Sacks dubbed her—transforms our awareness of the different ways our brains are wired. Do you have a keen sense of direction\, a love of puzzles\, the ability to assemble IKEA furniture without crying? You are likely a visual thinker. \nWith her genius for demystifying science\, Grandin draws on cutting-edge research to take us inside visual thinking. Visual thinkers constitute a far greater proportion of the population than previously believed\, she reveals\, and a more varied one\, from the purest “object visualizers” like Grandin herself\, with their intuitive knack for design and problem solving\, to the abstract\, mathematically inclined “visual spatial” thinkers who excel in pattern recognition and systemic thinking. She also makes us understand how a world increasingly geared to the verbal tends to sideline visual thinkers\, screening them out at school and passing over them in the workplace. Rather than continuing to waste their singular gifts\, driving a collective loss in productivity and innovation\, Grandin proposes new approaches to educating\, parenting\, employing\, and collaborating with visual thinkers. In a highly competitive world\, this important book helps us see\, we need every mind on board. \nTemple Grandin is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University and the author of the New York Times bestsellers Animals in Translation\, Animals Make Us Human\, The Autistic Brain\, and Thinking in Pictures\, which became an HBO movie starring Claire Danes. Dr. Grandin has been a pioneer in improving the welfare of farm animals as well as an outspoken advocate for the autism community. She resides in Fort Collins\, Colorado.
