SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Slugs and Steins with Professor Eric Porter: What Can We Learn from the Airport?
DESCRIPTION:For many people\, airports may seem like alienating “nonplaces”—as anthropologist Marc Augé put it—where we rush to make connections and spend long\, monotonous hours waiting for delayed flights. But airports are fascinating sites that can tell us a lot about the places where they are situated. Among other things\, they are complex infrastructures where people\, the built and natural environments\, and different kinds of networks come together. Airports are also sites of accumulated power in a given region. Looking at the history of an airport\, then\, can provide a airport useful lens for examining some of the complex\, interconnected forces that have influenced the development of its region over time. Exploring that history can also help us understand how differently positioned people in that place have abided\, resisted\, and otherwise negotiated the powerful forces that have shaped their lives. In this talk\, Eric Porter will discuss San Francisco International Airport (SFO) as a site whose history reveals important perspectives on a wide range of phenomena that have helped to make the Bay Area. Along the way he will read excerpts from his new book\, A People’s History of SFO: The Making of the Bay Area and an Airport. \n \nOrder A People’s History of SFO: The Making of the Bay Area and an Airport online and save 30%. Use source code SAVE30 at checkout. \nEric Porter is Professor of History\, History of Consciousness\, and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, where he is also affiliated with the Music and Latin American and Latina/o Studies departments. His research and teaching interests include Black cultural and intellectual history\, US cultural and urban history\, and jazz and improvisation studies. \nSlugs and Steins are free informal lectures served up over Zoom. Brought to you by the UC Santa Cruz Alumni Association\, each talk will engage one of our favorite professors in discussion with you\, the local community of Silicon Valley\, and beyond. We will cover everything from organic artichokes to endangered zebras\, self-driving cars to Shakespeare. All are welcome. Audience participation is encouraged. \nQuestions? Contact the UC Santa Cruz University Events office at specialevents@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:Jarrod Shanahan – Skyscraper Jails
DESCRIPTION:How did a campaign to end the humanitarian catastrophe of New York City’s Rikers Island penal colony culminate in the planned creation of skyscraper jails across the city\, with no closure of Rikers in sight? The tragic story of recent jail reform efforts in New York City is at once novel\, and indicative of broader trends in “humanitarian” jail reform\, growing activism big big philanthropy in the supposed reform of mass incarceration\, and the evolution of non-profit organizations promoting the extension of the carceral state — all conducted under the auspices of “social justice.” Tracing the contours of this new moment of carceral boosterism\, Dr. Jarrod Shanahan will present on a work in progress\, Skyscraper Jails\, co-authored with criminal justice scholar Dr. Zhandarka Kurti. This work draws from extensive archival research\, years of collaborative scholarship\, and participation in the campaign against the new jails. \nJarrod Shanahan is an activist-scholar and assistant professor of criminal justice at Governors State University in University Park\, IL. He is the author of Captives: How Rikers Island Took New York City Hostage (Verso\, 2022)\, co-author with Zhandarka Kurti of States of Incarceration: Rebellion\, Reform\, and America’s Punishment System (Field Notes/Reaktion\, 2022)\, and an editor of Treason to Whiteness is Loyalty to Humanity (Verso\, 2022)\, a Noel Ignatiev reader. \n  \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.
