SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - Community as Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:Community as Rebellion offers a meditation on creating liberatory spaces for students and faculty of color within academia. Through personal experiences and analytical reflections\, García Peña  invites us—in particular Black\, Indigenous\, Latinx\, and Asian women—to engage in liberatory practices of boycott\, abolition\, and radical community-building to combat the academic world’s tokenizing and exploitative structures. She argues that the classroom is key to freedom-making in the university\, urging teachers to consider activism and social justice as central to what she calls “teaching in freedom”: a progressive form of collective learning that prioritizes the subjugated knowledge\, silenced histories\, and epistemologies from the Global South and Indigenous\, Black\, and brown communities. By teaching in and for freedom\, we not only acknowledge the harm that the university has inflicted on our persons and our ways of knowing since its inception\, but also create alternative ways to be\, create\, live\, and succeed through our work. \nCommunity as Rebellion can be accessed here. Please ensure you are logged into your McHenry Library Account. \nDr. Lorgia García-Peña is a writer\, activist and scholar who specializes in Latinx Studies with a focus on Black Latinidades. Her work is concerned with the ways in which antiblackness and xenophobia intersect the Global North producing categories of exclusion that lead to violence and erasure. Through her writing and teaching\, Dr. García Peña insists on highlighting the knowledge\, cultural\, social and political contributions of people who have been silenced from traditional archives. She is the author of three books \, the award-winning The Borders of Dominicanidad: Race\, Nations and Archives of Contradictions (Duke\, 2016) which was translated and published in Spanish by Editorial Bonó in 2020; Translating Blackness: Latinx Colonialities in Global Perspective (Duke\, 2022) and Community as Rebellion (Haymarket\, 2022). Additionally\, her work has been covered in several publications including the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, The New Yorker\, The Boston Review and Harper’s Bazaar. She has appeared on CNN\, BBC\, MSNBC\, Univision and Telemundo and is a regular contributor to NACLA and Asterix Journals. \nAn engaged scholar committed to liberating education and bridging the gaps that separate the communities she comes from (Black\, immigrant\, working) and the university\, Dr. García Peña is also a co-founder of Freedom University Georgia\, a school that provides college instruction to undocumented students and the co-director of Archives of Justice a transnational digital archive project that centers the life of people who identify as Black\, queer and migrant. She has been widely recognized for her public facing work: in 2022 she received the Angela Davis Prize for Public Scholarship\, in 2021 the Margaret Casey Foundation named her a Freedom Scholar\, and in 2017 the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) presented her a Disobedience Award for the co-founding of Freedom University. Additionally\, her scholarship has been supported by the Ford Foundation\, The Johns Hopkins University African Diaspora Studies Postdoctoral Fellowship and the Future of Minority Studies Fellowship. García-Peña received a PhD in American Culture from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor and an M.A. in Latin American and Latino Literatures from Rutgers University. Currently\, she serves as the Mellon Professor and Chair of the Department in Studies of Race\, Colonialism and Diaspora at Tufts University. \nPlease RSVP using your UCSC email address: \nLoading… \nThis event is sponsored by The Humanities Institute and co-sponsored by the Dolores Huerta Research Center for the Americas. \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series \nJoin us for the seventh year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by The Humanities Institute. We meet monthly to discuss possible career paths for PhDs\, internship possibilities\, grant/fellowships\, work/life balance\, elements of style\, online identity issues\, and much\, much more.

SUMMARY:Let’s talk about ChatGPT Panel
DESCRIPTION:ChatGPT rolled out as a disruptive and instantly polarizing new technology. Should we see it as an impediment or an asset to student learning? Should we just look to other new technologies to detect student use of ChatGPT\, or could there be pedagogical applications of ChatGPT that could further learning? On campus\, faculty are shaping the future of ChatGPT through their choices in the classroom. We hope you will join us on Tuesday\, March 21\, from 12:00-1:30 to learn about how ChatGPT works and to hear from UC Santa Cruz faculty on how they are thinking about and even incorporating ChatGPT in their course planning. Panelists include Leilani H. Gilpin\, Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering; Zac Zimmer\, Associate Professor of Literature; and Jennifer Parker\, Professor of Art. This event is co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute and Humanizing Technology\, Humanities Division. \nTo attend\, join us in the Teaching and Learning Lab (McHenry Library 2359)\, or register by Zoom. \nCITL event page with more info: https://citl.ucsc.edu/resources/chatgpt/

SUMMARY:A Reading with Ross Gay & Chris Mattingly
DESCRIPTION:FREE IN-STORE EVENT: Bookshop Santa Cruz is delighted to welcome New York Times bestselling author Ross Gay (The Book of Delights) and local poet Chris Mattingly for a very special evening of poetry and conversation. This event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. \nRoss Gay’s newest book is Inciting Joy:\nIn these gorgeously written and timely pieces\, prize winning poet and author Ross Gay considers the joy we incite when we care for each other\, especially during life’s inevitable hardships. Throughout Inciting Joy\, he explores how we can practice recognizing that connection\, and also\, crucially\, how we can expand it. \nIn “We Kin\,” Gay thinks about the garden (es­pecially around August\, when the zucchini and tomatoes come in) as a laboratory of mutual aid; in “Share Your Bucket\,” he explores skateboard­ing’s reclamation of public spaces; he considers the costs of masculinity in “Grief Suite”; and in “Through My Tears I Saw\,” he recognizes what was healed in caring for his father as he was dying. \nIn an era when divisive voices take up so much airspace\, Inciting Joy offers a vital alternative: What might be possible if we turn our attention to what brings us together\, to what we love? \nTaking a clear-eyed look at injustice\, political polarization\, and the destruction of the natural world\, Gay shows us how we might resist\, how the study of joy might lead us to a wild\, unpredictable\, transgressive\, and unboundaried solidarity. In fact\, it just might help us survive. \n  \n \n  \nRoss Gay is the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Delights: Essays and four books of poetry. His Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude won the 2015 National Book Critics Circle Award and the 2016 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award\, and was a finalist for the National Book Award; and Be Holding won the 2021 PEN America Jean Stein Book Award. He is a founding board member of the Bloomington Community Orchard\, a non-profit\, free-fruit-for-all food justice and joy project. Gay has received fellowships from Cave Canem\, the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference\, and the Guggenheim Foundation. He teaches at Indiana University. \n  \nChris Mattingly is a poet in Santa Cruz. He is the author of two full-length collections of poetry\, Scuffletown (Typecast\, 2013) and The Catalyst (Pickpocket\, 2018) as well as over two dozen limited-run chapbooks and artist’ books. His poetry and non-fiction have appeared in The Greensboro Review\, Louisville Review\, Trigger\, Lumberyard\, Still\, Some Call it Ballin’\, and Forklift\, OHIO. Chris is co-founding editor of alla testa\, a kitchen press devoted to producing far out field recordings\, hand-made artist’ books\, and letter press chapbooks. Some of his work is on display at thepoetchrismattingly.com.
