SUMMARY:Paromita Vohra – The Lovers’ Argument: What Bollywood Songs Taught Me About Making Documentaries 
DESCRIPTION:As a documentary filmmaker\, working in India\, and especially as one interested in political conversation and social change\, you inherit a form. The documentary form ostensibly exists outside commercial mainstream Indian cinema\, privileges realism\, and is marked by ethical nobility and commitment\, and a willingness to be a little bit bored for a political cause. Shorn of frivolity\, of excess\, of emotional unpredictability and most importantly of pleasure\, such settled pieties of the documentary form are difficult to accept. Instead\, I offer\, a kind of Hindi film duet\, as the basis for thinking about documentary form: the lover’s argument which invokes shared experience\, seduction\, dangerous knowledge\, revelation and pleasure. What kind of politics might this aesthetic suggest\, when the argument is made in the service of connection\, not conquest?\nThe talk will be illustrated with clips from my work. \nParomita Vohra is a filmmaker and writer who works with a range of forms\, including film\, comics\, digital media\, installation art and writing to explore themes of feminism\, desire\, urban life and popular culture. Her work has been exhibited at the Tate Modern\, the Wellcome Gallery and the National Gallery of Modern Art\, and screened around the world. Her films as director include the documentaries Unlimited Girls\, Q2P\, Where’s Sandra? and Morality TV and the Loving Jehad: Ek Manohar Kahanai\, among others and a series of short musical films including The Amourous Adventures of Megha and Shakku in the Valley of Consent. She has written the fiction feature Khamosh Pani\, the documentaries Skin Deep\, Stuntmen of Bollywood\, and If You Pause\, the play Ishquiya:Dharavi Ishtyle and the comic Priya’s Mirror. She has published several essays on film\, popular culture\, love and desire as well as short stories and writes a weekly newspaper column\, Paro-normal Activity in Sunday Mid-day. In 2015 she founded the Agents of Ishq\, an award-winning digital platform for conversations on sex\, love and desire in India and is currently its Creative Director. \nThis event is sponsored by the Center for South Asian Studies. The Center for South Asian Studies is delighted to welcome its first South Asian artist/activist-in-residence\, Paromita Vohra. Paromita will be in residence at UCSC from April 10-April 24\, 2023. \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. \nRSVP by 11 AM on Wednesday\, April 12\, you will receive the Zoom link and password at 11:30 AM the day of the colloquium. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Paisley Currah – This Anti-Trans Moment: Resisting the Right and the Center
DESCRIPTION:The current assault on transgender people in the United States seems relatively new\, but in fact governments have been regulating the lives of transgender people for decades—from contradictory rules for sex classification to bans on Medicaid coverage to rules about gender-appropriate comportment. In this talk\, Currah situates these legislative attacks within a longer history of (trans)gender governance. \nPaisley Currah is a Professor of Political Science and Women’s Gender Studies at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.  He is the co-founder of the leading journal in transgender studies\, TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly. Currah’s book\, Sex Is as Sex Does: Governing Transgender Identity\, published last year by New York University Press\, reveals the hidden logics that have governed sex classification policies in the United States in the past and shows what the regulation of transgender identity can tell us about society’s approach to sex and gender writ large. \n  \n  \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. \nPlease note: this is a hybrid event. To receive a link\, please RSVP by 11 AM on the day of the colloquium\, and you will receive the Zoom link and password at 11:30 AM. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - Grants and Fellowships
DESCRIPTION:Grants and Fellowships for Scholars in the Humanities and Humanistic Social Sciences  \nLearn how to make your fellowship and grant proposals competitive to a wide range of selection committees. We’ll discuss what does and does not need to be in a research proposal\, the proper tone and form\, and ways to tease out the larger stakes of individual research projects and avoid the jargon of field-specific descriptions. This session will help you craft a research proposal that appeals to a broad academic audience. This workshop will be an opportunity for graduate students to learn about The Humanities Institute’s funding resources as well as strategies for acquiring extramural support\, including from national funding organizations like the SSRC. \nThe workshop will be led by Catalina Vallejo (Program Director for the SSRC Just Tech Program) and Sharon Kinoshita (Interim Faculty Director at The Humanities Institute and Professor of Literature). As part of the workshop\, Saskia Nauenberg Dunkell (Research Programs and Communications Manager at The Humanities Institute) will also share an overview of THI resources to support graduate students with fellowship applications. \nCatalina Vallejo is program director for the Social Science Research Council’s Just Tech Program. Catalina holds an M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Virginia\, an M.A. in cultural studies from Universidad de los Andes\, and a B.A. in sociology from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Her doctoral work focused on post-conflict in Colombia and Peru and was funded by the SSRC and the National Science Foundation. Before joining the SSRC\, she worked in development consulting. She is fluent in English and Spanish\, grew up in Bogotá (Colombia)\, and travels frequently to the region.\nhttps://www.ssrc.org/staff/vallejo-pedraza-diana-catalina/ \nSharon Kinoshita is a Professor of Literature. She co-directs the mediterraneanseminar.org and has been PI or co-PI for a five-year UC Multicampus Research Project\, a UC Humanities Research Institute Residential Research Group\, and four National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Institutes in Mediterranean Studies.
