SUMMARY:Victorian Necromancies with Professor Renée Fox - Discussion of Dracula (Beginning-Chap. 16)
DESCRIPTION:Victorian Necromancies with Professor Renée Fox \nAs part of the series “Victorian Necromancies\,” Professor Fox will lead three sessions that offer the Friends an opportunity to explore the Victorian gothic\, one of her favorite genres of 19th-century literature. \nFrom Professor Fox: “The first session will be a presentation on my forthcoming book\, The Necromantics: Reanimation\, the Historical Imagination\, and Victorian British and Irish Literature\, and the second two sessions will be discussions of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula (1897). Although I don’t write about Dracula very much in my book\, I chose it for these sessions for a few reasons: as an Irishman living in London for much of his adult life\, Stoker has always been important to my work on the intersections between Irish and British writing at the end of the 19th century\, and Dracula is a deeply weird novel that I think everyone should read and talk about. I’m also really interested in adaptation (I think about it as a form of reanimation)\, and Dracula offers a fantastic opportunity not just to talk about the text’s many adaptations across the last 125 years\, but also to talk about the novel’s own investments in questions of originality and reproduction.” \nRenée Fox is an assistant professor in the Literature Department at UC Santa Cruz\, where she teaches classes in Victorian Studies\, Irish Studies\, the gothic\, and popular culture. She is the 2022 Autumn Friends of the DickensProject Faculty Fellow. \nVirtual Sessions \n\n\n\nBook Talk: The Necromantics: Reanimation\, the Historical Imagination\, and Victorian British and Irish Literature\nOctober 2\, 20222:00 PM PDT\n\n\n\nDiscussion: Dracula (Beginning to Chapter 16)\nNovember 6\, 20222:00 PM PST\n\n\n\nDiscussion: Dracula (Chapter 17 to End)\nDecember 4\, 20222:00 PM PST\n\n\n\n\nMore Information: https://dickens.ucsc.edu/programs/friends-faculty-fellows/victorian-necromancies.html \nRegistration: https://ucsc.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUkf–hpz8rEtTZRTrhuGsHGRsIQJSVlahR

SUMMARY:Karen Tei Yamashita Fall 2022 Emeriti Lecture - Questions 27 & 28: Loyalty and Japanese American Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:In 1942\, at the outset of World War II\, President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the incarceration of all Japanese Americans on the West Coast. The following year\, the War Relocation Authority had the task of determining the loyalty of their inmates in order to release them for productive normalized lives outside camp. A loyalty questionnaire was distributed to assess “loyalty.” While many of the questions seemed innocuous\, two questions in particular\, 27 and 28\, about willingness to serve in the US military and forswearing allegiance to the Japanese Emperor\, were confusing and divisive within the incarcerated communities. The answering of these two questions created rifts within families and friends\, with traumatic divisions that resonate to this day. \nRegister to attend in person \nRegister to attend virtually \nComplimentary event parking will be available in lots 115/116. Please follow event signage at the base of campus and a parking attendant will help assist you. \nQuestions? Please contact the University Events Office at specialevents@ucsc.edu. \nKaren Tei Yamashita is the author of seven books\, including I Hotel\, finalist for the National Book Award\, and most recently\, Sansei and Sensibility\, all published by Coffee House Press. Recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters from the National Book Foundation\, the John Dos Passos Prize for Literature and a U.S. Artists’ Ford Foundation Fellowship\, she is professor emerita of literature and creative writing at the University of California\, Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Mark Massoud – The Power of Positionality
DESCRIPTION:What is the impact on and influence of the researcher in their scholarship? Drawing in part on Mark’s empirical research and professional experience\, this talk investigates the benefits and burdens of positionality. Positionality is the disclosure of how an author’s racial\, gender\, class\, or other self-identifications\, experiences\, and privileges influence research methods. A statement of positionality in a research article can enhance the validity of its empirical data and its theoretical contribution. However\, such self-disclosure puts scholars in a vulnerable position\, and those most likely to reveal how their positionality shapes their research are women\, ethnic minorities\, or both. At this stage of the field’s methodological development\, the burdens of positionality are being carried unevenly by a tiny minority of researchers. Massoud invites scholars to redress this imbalance by embracing expressions of positionality. \nMark Fathi Massoud is a Politics professor and the director of the Legal Studies Program here at UCSC. He also serves as affiliated faculty with the Center for the Middle East and North Africa. He is the author of two books that address the interplay of law\, politics\, and religion — and he is currently editing a volume on positionality. Mark’s most recent book is Shari’a\, Inshallah (Cambridge University Press 2021). Shari’a\, Inshallah received four awards: the Hart-SLSA Book Prize from the Socio-Legal Studies Association\, the Distinguished Book Award from the American Sociological Association Section on Religion\, the Ralph J. Bunche Award for the best book on ethnic and cultural pluralism from American Political Science Association — and it was a Finalist for the PROSE Award for the best book in government and politics published last year\, from the Association of American Publishers. Mark is also the author of Law’s Fragile State (Cambridge University Press 2013)\, which earned awards from the American Political Science Association and the Law and Society Association. Mark holds an appointment as a Visiting Professor at Oxford University. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2015. \n \n  \n  \n  \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. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Chih-ming Wang - Retelling Chinese Stories in the Era of Global China: On Ha Jin’s Immigrant Novels
DESCRIPTION:Examining Ha Jin’s immigrant novels in the crossfires of US-China competition\, this talk proposes post/Cold War entanglements as a critical frame for reconsidering Asian American studies today. It argues that attention to Chineseness as a political\, rather than cultural\, construct is more urgent than ever. Ha Jin’s emphasis on immigration as freedom in his novels offers an opportune occasion for examining how Cold War geopolitics persists in and through Chinese America\, and how the Chinese American immigrant subjectivity may be politicized to fuel anti-China politics today\, especially in the context of US-China rivalry. His rearticulation of diasporic Chineseness based on the principle of freedom and individualism in the shadow of Global China encourages us to grapple with the poignancy of identity as a form of coercion and to reexamine the Cold War legacy of Asian America. \n \nChih-ming Wang is associate research fellow at the Institute of European and American Studies\, Academia Sinica\, Taiwan. He was a visiting scholar at the Harvard Yenching Institute (2021-22) and a visiting research fellow at the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou. He works in both transpacific American literature and inter-Asia cultural studies\, concerned with the interplay of literature and geopolitics\, and the colonial modernity of knowledge production in East Asia. He is the chief-editor of Router: A Journal of Cultural Studies and the author of two books: Transpacific Articulations: Student Migration and the Remaking of Asian America (UHP\, 2013) and Re-Articulation: Trajectories of Foreign Literature Studies in Taiwan (Linking\, 2021). He also co-edited with Yu-Fang Cho a special issue on “The Chinese Factor” for American Quarterly (2017). He is currently working on a book manuscript entitled “Multiple Returning: Post/Cold War Entanglements and Asian American Literature.” \nPresented by the Transnational China Research Hub.

SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - Preventing and Mitigating Burnout
DESCRIPTION:A vexing problem for academics is burnout: the experience of exhaustion\, cynicism\, and ineffectiveness that results from stretching across the gap between the ideals of your academic vocation and the reality of your academic job. Jonathan Malesic left his job as a tenured theology professor at a small liberal arts college after undergoing burnout over the course of several years. Since then\, he has published dozens of articles on work and burnout in academic journals and general-interest publications. He has also published a book on this topic\, The End of Burnout: Why Work Drains Us and How to Build Better Lives (University of California Press\, 2022). In this workshop\, he will address what burnout is\, why academic workers are so vulnerable to it\, and how building more compassionate institutions can help prevent and heal academic burnout. \nIn addition to The End of Burnout\, Malesic has written about work and burnout for the New York Times\, The New Republic\, the Washington Post\, The Guardian\, the Chronicle of Higher Education\, Inside Higher Ed\, The Hedgehog Review\, and several academic journals. He holds a Ph.D. in religious studies from the University of Virginia and has been the recipient of major grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Louisville Institute. His writing has been recognized as notable in Best American Essays (2019\, 2020\, 2021) and Best American Food Writing (2020) and has received special mention in the Pushcart Prize anthology (2019). He teaches writing at Southern Methodist University and the University of Texas at Dallas. \nRegister by November 2nd for in-person attendance in Graduate Student Commons\, Room 204. The event will also be accessible virtually via Zoom. Complimentary vegan lunch provided to in-person attendees. \n \nThis workshop is presented by the Division of Graduate Studies and co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute as part of our 2022-2023 PhD+ series. The Division of Graduate Studies’ workshops are for current UC Santa Cruz graduate students and postdoctoral scholars and require an active UC Santa Cruz email address. \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series \nJoin us for the seventh year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Yoav Di-Capua: Reconsidering the 60s Generation in the Arab World and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:This is a talk about a book that is still being written. It begins and ends with a funeral. In between\, lies the story of the 60s generation in the Arab world. The funeral was that of Egyptian leader Gamal Abd al-Nasser. His 1970 death was just another reminder of the weighty collective defeat of “the first Arabs”: the eminent generation born after WW I\, which had defined itself by its Arab ethnicity rather than religious faith and had fought to decolonize their society. Their dream was a dignified life but their lot ended up being a dehumanizing defeat. With the ultimate aim of offering a humanizing narrative of this generation struggle for life with dignity\, in this talk I offer preliminary thoughts on one of the most complex and rich experiments in the modern history of the Middle East. \nThis event will be held on November 14th from 12:00pm-1:30pm and is presented by the Center for Middle East and North Africa. \nYoav Di-Capua is a Professor of History at the University of Texas at Austin\, where he teaches modern Arab intellectual history. He is the author of Gatekeepers of the Arab Past: Historians and History Writing in Twentieth-Century Egypt (University of California Press\, 2009) and No Exit: Arab Existentialism\, Jean Paul Sartre and Decolonization (University Press of Chicago\, 2018). Supported by the Guggenheim Foundation\, he is currently at work on The First Arabs: An Intimate History of Their Struggle for Dignity and The Aftermath of Defeat.
