SUMMARY:Max Weiss: Revolutions Aesthetic
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk by Professor Max Weiss (Princeton University)\, who will be discussing his new book on cultural production in Ba’thist Syria\, Revolutions Aesthetic: A Cultural History of Baʻthist Syria (Stanford University Press\, 2022). Revolutions Aesthetic reconceptualizes contemporary Syrian politics\, authoritarianism\, and cultural life. Engaging rich original sources—novels\, films\, and cultural periodicals—Weiss highlights themes crucial to the making of contemporary Syria: heroism and leadership\, gender and power\, comedy and ideology\, surveillance and the senses\, witnessing and temporality\, and death and the imagination. Revolutions Aesthetic places front and center the struggle around aesthetic ideology that has been key to the constitution of state\, society\, and culture in Syria over the course of the past fifty years. \nLunch will be served.  Any graduate students would like a copy of his book\, please contact muhdavis@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:What’s Happening in Peru? Interdisciplinary Perspectives on a Structural Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Peru has been in a state of political and humanitarian crisis since early December 2022 when protests erupted in the wake of former President Pedro Castillo’s unsuccessful attempt to shut down Congress to avert an impeachment. When acting President Dina Boluarte–Castillo’s former vice president—announced that elections would not be held until May 2024\, Peruvians across the country took to the streets first to demand elections and a constitutional assembly and then\, when the national police violently repressed protests\, to demand Boluarte’s resignation. Months later\, more than 60 Peruvians have died\, including 47 protestors killed by state forces\, mostly from Southern Andean regions of the country\, and Boluarte has refused to resign. \nThe current situation in Peru is the latest expression of a deep structural crisis\, rooted in historical relations of dominance since colonial times in the highly centralized country. This is reflected in the long-standing conflictive relationship between the capital\, Lima\, and the other regions\, which has polarized the public debate even more. The role of media and emerging technologies have played a crucial role in how these protests have been represented\, adding fire to this polarization. To understand this multidimensional crisis from multidisciplinary perspectives\, this round table features scholars from both the humanities and social sciences who will reflect on the historical\, social\, cultural\, economic\, and political implications of the ongoing crisis for the future of Peru. \nPanelists \nAldair Mejía (Photojournalist\, Lima) is a photojournalist based in Lima\, Peru. He currently focuses his work on political issues\, social conflicts\, portraits\, concerts\, among other events in the country.

Her work calls the attention on the importance of late eighteenth-century\, and nineteenth-century political developments in shaping modern conceptions nationhood\, citizenship\, and “race” in Peru. She has investigated the historical relationship between the peasants and the militaries\, and the role of war and the army in the construction of the state. She is a columnist for the Peruvian newspaper La República. \nCarlos Molina-Vital (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) currently works as an instructor and director of the Quechua Program at the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Perspectivas interdisciplinarias para entender una crisis estructural\nDesde principios de diciembre del 2022\, el Perú atraviesa una crisis política y humanitaria cuando estallaron las protestas a raíz del intento fallido del expresidente Pedro Castillo de cerrar el Congreso para evitar la vacancia por incapacidad moral. Cuando la presidenta en funciones Dina Boluarte –exvicepresidenta de Castillo– anunció que las elecciones no se realizarían hasta mayo de 2024\, peruanos de todo el país salieron a las calles primero para exigir elecciones y asamblea constituyente y\, cuando la Policía Nacional y el Ejército reprimieron violentamente las protestas\, exigir la renuncia de Boluarte. Meses después\, más de 60 peruanos han muerto\, incluidos al menos 47 manifestantes asesinados por las fuerzas estatales\, en su mayoría de las regiones andinas del sur del país\, y Boluarte se niega a renunciar. \nLa situación actual del Perú es la expresión más reciente de una profunda crisis estructural\, arraigada en históricas relaciones de dominio desde la época colonial en un país altamente centralizado. Esto se refleja en la conflictiva relación entre la capital\, Lima\, y ​​las demás regiones\, que ha polarizado aún más el debate público. El papel de los medios y las nuevas tecnologías ha jugado un papel crucial en la forma en que se han representado estas protestas\, agregando tensión a esta polarización. Para comprender esta crisis estructural desde perspectivas multidisciplinarias\, esta mesa redonda convoca académicos de las humanidades y ciencias sociales para reflexionar colectivamente sobre las implicaciones históricas\, sociales\, culturales\, económicas y políticas de la crisis actual para el futuro de Perú. \nPanelistas \nAldair Mejía es Fotoperiodista\, en Lima\,Perú\, cuyo trabajo se centra principalmente en coberturas de prensa.

SUMMARY:Kristin Lawler – Surfing\, Capitalism\, and the Refusal of Work
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will examine surfing as a countercultural practice and will consider the ways in which it constitutes a lived refusal of the logic of capital.

SUMMARY:Karina Walters - Transcending Historical Trauma: How to Address American Indian Health Inequities and Promote Thriving
DESCRIPTION:Throughout history\, settler colonialism has endeavored to erase the lived experiences and histories of American Indian and Alaska Native Peoples. Yet\, Indigenous populations\, particularly Indigenous women\, remain strong and resilient pillars of communities. Oftentimes these [her]stories are missed in public health initiatives as a result of settler colonialism’s perpetual drive to erase and silence. In this talk\, Dr. Walters will explore the latest advances in designing culturally derived\, Indigenist health promotion interventions among American Indian and Alaska Native women. The talk will describe the indigenist methodological innovations utilized in the NIH funded Yappalli Choctaw Road to Health\, a culturally focused\, land-based obesity and substance abuse prevention program as well as the national multi-site Honor Project Two-Spirit Health Study. Consistent with tribal systems of knowledge\, both studies illustrate the importance of developing culturally derived health promotion interventions rooted in Indigenist thoughtways and land-based practices to promote Indigenous thrivance and community well-being. \n \nDr. Karina L. Walters (MSW\, PhD) is the recently appointed Director of the Tribal Health Research Office at the National Institute of Health. She is an enrolled citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma\, a Katherine Hall Chambers University Professor at the University of Washington School of Social Work\, and an adjunct Professor in the Department of Global Health\, School of Public Health\, and Co-Director of the Indigenous Wellness Research Institute (IWRI) at the University of Washington. Dr. Walters is world renowned for her expertise in developing behavioral and multi-level health interventions steeped in culture to activate health-promoting behaviors. She has written landmark papers on traumatic stress and health\, historical and intergenerational trauma\, and originated the Indigenist Stress-Coping model. She has led 22 NIH-funded studies\, is one of the leading American Indian scientists in the country\, and is only one of two American Indians (and the only Native woman) ever invited to deliver the prestigious Director’s lecture to the Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series (WALS) at the NIH. She is the first American Indian Fellow inductee into the American Academy of Social Welfare and Social Work (AASWSW).\n \nEvent logistics: Bicycling\, car pooling\, ridesharing\, and public transportation are encouraged as parking is limited.

SUMMARY:Black Sound Symposium at Indexical
DESCRIPTION:The Black Sound Symposium at Indexical is a 4-day event full of concerts\, talks\, workshops\, screenings\, and interdisciplinary dialogue rooted in Black sound and Black sonic space. The symposium aims to create and sustain community; to celebrate curiosity\, wonder\, disobedience\, collaboration\, and play in artistic work; to expand anti-racist and activist pedagogy and methodologies in and outside of our institutions; and to honor the long and rich lineages of Black virtuosity that have been diminished and erased from artistic canons and social consciousness. \n“Black studies and anticolonial thought offer methodological practices wherein we read\, live\, hear\, groove\, create\, and write across a range of temporalities\, places\, texts\, and ideas that build on existing liberatory practices and pursue ways of living in the world that are uncomfortably generous and provisional and practical and\, as well\, imprecise and unrealized. The method is rigorous\, too. Wonder is study. Curiosity is attentive.”\n-Katherine McKittrick\, Dear Science and Other Stories \nThe Black Sound Symposium is partially sponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz & the Visualizing Abolition public scholarship initiative at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, UC Santa Cruz. Please visit the Black Sound Symposium website for the full symposium schedule and details.

SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - VOCES Drafting Stages with Melissa Rosario
DESCRIPTION:Drafting Stages is a series of intimate conversations with speakers working inside and outside of academia and at different points in their careers about writing as an evolving and non-linear process. Focusing on conditions\, inspirations\, and methods\, each speaker will offer personal insight into their processes and the messiness and vulnerabilities of drafting stages. \nThe invited speaker for this session is Dr. Melissa Rosario (she/they)\, a mixed-race queer nonbinary femme who lives and works in Puerto Rico. Drawing on their training as an anthropologist and her own journey of self-healing\, Melissa founded and leads the Center for Embodied Pedagogy and Action (CEPA). CEPA is a practice-based initiative dedicated to the decolonization of mind-body-spirit of organizers\, artists\, and healers. It is a space for diaspora and island-based Boricuas and close allies who want to co-create a culture of reclamation that transforms inheritances and patterns into collective liberation. They understand it to be a tool for healing as it allows us to create new possibilities and agreements for our future while also opening space to speak truths that have remained on the margins of our awareness. She has published in Anthropology and Humanism\, AnthroNow\, and Curriculum Inquiry and is a co-author of Decolonizing for Organizers\, a practice-based manual for activists unlearning and healing from colonization. Her first book is under review and is tentatively titled Another Country: Reclaiming Freedom in Puerto Rico. \n \nThe conversation will be facilitated by Dr. Gina Athena Ulysse\, Professor in the Feminist Studies Department at UCSC. This event is presented by GANAS Graduate Pathways and VOCES and is co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute. \n  \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.
