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:Christopher Silver – Recording History: Jews\, Muslims\, and Music across Twentieth-Century North Africa
DESCRIPTION:This event is co-sponsored by Jewish Studies  \nIn Recording History\, Christopher Silver provides the first history of the music scene and recording industry across twentieth century Morocco\, Algeria\, and Tunisia. In doing so\, he offers striking insights into Jewish-Muslim relations through the rhythms that animated them. For more than six decades\, thousands of phonograph records flowed across North African borders. The sounds embedded in their grooves were shaped in large part by Jewish musicians\, who gave voice to a changing world around them. Their popular songs broadcast on radio\, performed in concert\, and circulated on disc carried with them the power to delight audiences\, stir national sentiments\, and frustrate French colonial authorities. In asking what North Africa once sounded like\, Silver will introduce the UCSC community to a world of many voices\, whose music defined their era and still resonates into our present. \nChristopher Silver is the Segal Family Assistant Professor in Jewish History and Culture in the Department of Jewish Studies at McGill University. He earned his PhD in History from UCLA. Recipient of grants from the Posen Foundation\, the American Academy of Jewish Research\, the American Institute for Maghrib Studies\, and the Association for Recorded Sound Collections\, Silver is the author of numerous articles on North African history and music\, including in the International Journal of Middle East Studies\, Jewish Social Studies\, and Hespéris-Tamuda. He is also the founder and curator of the website Gharamophone.com\, a digital archive of North African records from the first half of the twentieth century. His first book Recording History: Jews\, Muslims\, and Music Across Twentieth Century North Africa was published in June 2022 with Stanford University Press. \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 26\, 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:Eric Stanley - Atmospheres of Violence: Structuring Antagonism and the Trans/Queer Ungovernable
DESCRIPTION:Eric Stanley in conversation with FMST/CRES Prof. Nick Mitchell & FMST Grad Student Kaiya Gordon. \nPresented by the Feminist Studies Department. \nRecent advances in LGBTQ rights have been accompanied by a rise in attacks against trans\, queer and/or gender-nonconforming people of color. In Atmospheres of Violence\, theorist and organizer Eric A. Stanley shows how this seeming contradiction reveals the central role of racialized and gendered violence in the US — a structuring antagonism in our social world. Drawing on archives of suicide notes\, AIDS histories\, surveillance tapes\, and prison interviews\, Stanley offers a theory of anti-trans/queer violence in which inclusion and recognition are forms of harm rather than remedies. Calling for trans/queer organizing and world-making beyond these forms\, they point to abolitionist ways of life that might offer livable futures. \nJoin via zoom link here. \nEric A. Stanley is the Haas Distinguished Chair in LGBT Equity and an associate professor in the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies at UC Berkeley\, where they are also affiliated with the Program in Critical Theory.

SUMMARY:Roberta Wue - Inventing the Chinese Craftsman: Amoy Chinqua and the 18th Century Export Portrait
DESCRIPTION:The sudden appearance of painted and unfired clay portraits of western merchants in the burgeoning China trade of the early eighteenth century marks some of the earliest manifestations of Chinese trade portraiture or trade “art” – and Chinese artisan. Originating with the craftsman Amoy Chinqua (active 1716-20)\, these curious and vivid portraits function in a new space of intercultural commerce and exchange\, as articulated through their unusual materials\, crafting\, and authorship. \nRoberta Wue works on late Qing and early twentieth-century China\, with a particular interest in painting\, photography\, print culture\, and intermediality. Her work examines issues of audience and picturing\, while analyzing genre\, heterogeneity and hybridity\, seriality\, and movement in modern Chinese art and visual culture. She is the author of Art Worlds: Artists\, Images\, and Audiences in Late Nineteenth-Century Shanghai. \n\nFree and open to the campus community and the public. \nPresented by the Center for World History.

SUMMARY:Liberation Pedagogy: bell hooks and Teaching/Learning as Emancipatory Practice featuring Jody Greene
DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz’s Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning (CITL) invites you to our 2023 Convocation featuring CITL’s Founding Director Jody Greene. From its foundation\, CITL has drawn inspiration and wisdom from the work of the late bell hooks\, educational visionary and early proponent of active and activist learning. According to hooks\, our practices of teaching and learning can and should be as transformative and revolutionary as what we teach. More than three decades ago\, not long after she finished her graduate work on this campus\, hooks offered us a roadmap to transform educational practice to be equitable\, student-centered\, relationship-rich\, and dynamically engaged. In this talk\, Jody will revisit hooks’ influence on recent efforts to reshape teaching and learning at UC Santa Cruz as it takes up the challenge of being a genuinely minority-serving institution. \nAs CITL comes to the close of its seventh year\, we are marking the end of the first phase of our development. This Spring\, CITL will be merging with Online Education to create a single\, integrated Teaching and Learning Center. In June\, Founding Director Jody Greene will be stepping down to make way for new leadership for the Center in the next phase of its evolution. Please join us at 5:00pm for a reception\, followed by the lecture which will begin at 5:45pm. \nRegister to attend in person – RSVP requested by April 18\, 2023 \nRegister to attend virtually \nJody Greene came to UC Santa Cruz in 1998 and has served as Professor of Literature\, Feminist Studies\, and the History of Consciousness. Their research interests include seventeenth- and eighteenth-century British literature; non-dualist Western philosophy\, especially the work of Spivak\, Derrida\, and Nancy; human rights and international law; queer studies; and the history of literary discourse and literary institutions. \nRecent publications include a collection\, co-edited with Sharif Youssef\, The Hostile Takeover: Human Rights after Corporate Personhood (Toronto\, 2020)\, and op-eds in publications such as The Chronicle of Higher Education and Inside Higher Ed. They are the recipient of the UCSC Humanities Division John Dizikes Teaching Award (2008)\, the Disability Resource Center Champion of Change Award (2018)\, and\, twice\, of the UCSC Academic Senate Excellence in Teaching Award (2001\, 2014). In 2016\, they were appointed the founding Director of the Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning (CITL)\, and they now serve as UCSC’s first Associate Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning. In 2021\, they were appointed Special Advisor to the CP/EVC for Educational Equity and Academic Success. \nEach year\, CITL hosts a convocation to bring together educators across the campus and from the local community to explore significant topics in teaching and learning in higher education. Each year’s keynote address is free and open to the public. This event is presented by the Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning (CITL)\, and co-sponsored by the Humanities Institute. \nQuestions?
