SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Pickwick Club
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Santa Cruz Dickens Fellowship and the Santa Cruz Pickwick Club for our monthly Pickwick Club meeting. New this year\, we will be devoting an entire year to one novel instead of two\, and will dive deeply into Great Expectations. Join Dickens enthusiasts and Pickwick Club members for a series of discussions about this book. \n \nCharles Dickens depicts how a gentleman is made\, not born\, in this novel. Presented as Pip’s confessional autobiography\, Great Expectations describes his childhood at the forge\, his infatuation with the beautiful Estella\, his shame at his working-class origin and his eagerness to be a gentleman\, and eventually his life as a young man-about-town with “great expectations” of inheriting a fortune. Recalling these events as an adult\, Mr. Pirrip is frank about his mistakes and shortcomings. \nRecommended Edition: We recommend the Penguin Classics edition of the novel for its appendices and notes\, but other versions are fine. First-time readers should avoid the Introduction if they don’t want spoilers. Download the novel to read at Gutenburg.org or to listen at LibriVox.org. \nIf you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out at dpj@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Rosanna Xia: California Against the Sea
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes environmental journalist Rosanna Xia\, a Pulitzer Prize finalist\, for a conversation with UCSC professor Gary Griggs about her new book California Against the Sea: Visions for Our Vanishing Coastline. This event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. \n“Just as the coast defines the liminal world between land and sea\, so too does Rosanna Xia’s remarkable book exist in the overlap between development and erosion\, between geological forces and human desire\, between our ambitious past and our tenuous future. It’s viscerally urgent\, thoroughly reported\, and compellingly written—a must-read for our uncertain times.” —Ed Yong\, author of An Immense World \n \nYour registration helps us plan for your arrival and keep in touch with any changes.\nThank you for registering! \nRosanna Xia investigates the impacts of engineered landscapes\, the market pressures of development\, and the ecological activism and political scrimmages that have carved our contemporary coastline—and foretell even greater changes to our shores. From the beaches of the Mexican border up to the sheer-cliffed North Coast\, the voices of Indigenous leaders\, community activists\, small-town mayors\, urban engineers\, and tenacious environmental scientists commingle. Together\, they chronicle the challenges and urgency of forging a climate-wise future. Xia’s investigation takes us to Imperial Beach\, Los Angeles\, Pacifica\, Marin City\, San Francisco\, and beyond\, weighing the rivaling arguments\, agreements\, compromises\, and visions governing the State of California’s commitment to a coast for all. Through graceful reportage\, she charts how the decisions we make today will determine where we go tomorrow: headlong into natural disaster\, or toward an equitable refashioning of coastal stewardship. \nRosanna Xia is an environmental reporter for the Los Angeles Times\, where she specializes in stories about the coast and ocean. She was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2020 for explanatory reporting\, and her work has been anthologized in the Best American Science and Nature Writing series. \nGary Griggs is a Distinguished Professor of Earth & Planetary Sciences at UC Santa Cruz. He is the author of 13 books\, including most recently\, The Ominous Ocean (2022). The California Coastal Commission and Sunset named him one of California’s Coastal Heroes in 2009\, and in 2010 he was elected to the California Academy of Sciences. Gary is also a member of the California Ocean Protection Council’s Science Advisory Team and 2023 Sea-Level Rise Task Force.

SUMMARY:Project Paradiso: A Gateway to Dante’s Heaven - Episode One – Introduction – A Restless Paradise
DESCRIPTION:Dante’s Paradiso is the least studied and the least understood of the three parts of the Commedia. Yet it is arguably the most important for the dynamism and originality of the literary\, theological\, and philosophical inquiries that take place there. It is also a singularly important interpretive guide for a full understanding of the entire Commedia. It is a poem that asks to be tackled by a community of engaged readers: here it’s your opportunity! This year-long series of webinar workshops led by world-renowned scholars will take you on a deep reading of the Paradiso and an unforgettable journey to the heart of Dante’s universe. This virtual series will reward both first-time and expert readers of the Commedia with an opportunity to delve deep into one of the most complex and daring speculative poems ever written. We’ll be meeting online almost every other week from October to May. See the Project Paradiso page for full schedule. \n \nEpisode One – Introduction – A Restless Paradise\, featuring: \nFilippo Gianferrari is originally from Modena\, Italy. He has received a BA and MA in Letteratura italiana from the Università degli Studi di Bologna\, and a Ph.D. in Medieval Studies from the University of Notre Dame. After completing his Ph.D.\, he taught at Vassar College and Smith College. He has been part of the Literature Department at UCSC since 2019. He works on Dante\, Petrarch\, and Boccaccio\, lay education\, and political theology in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. He is interested in the ways literature and education (particularly literacy) intersect with and inform each other. He has published mostly on the topic of Dante’s intellectual formation and he has completed a monograph titled “Dante’s Education: Latin Schoolbooks and Vernacular Poetics.” The book investigates Dante’s debts to his earliest school readings and his critical stance toward contemporary education. His attention is now devoted to the study of vernacular theories and visions of political charity and eschatology. \nRon Herzman is Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York\, Geneseo. In addition to Geneseo\, where he continues to teach Dante\, he has taught Dante at Georgetown University\, St. John’s College in Santa Fe\, New York University\, Regis High School\, and Attica Correctional Facility. He has directed eighteen Summer Seminars for Schoolteachers through the National Endowment for the Humanities\, twelve of which were on Dante in Italy. With his colleague Bill Cook\, he teaches the Divine Comedy through a twenty- four-lecture course available through the Great Courses series produced by The Teaching Company. Together with Cook\, he was the recipient of the first CARA Award for Excellence in Teaching Medieval Studies from the Medieval Academy of America. He has written over fifty articles and reviews on Dante\, with emphasis on Dante and the Franciscans\, and on Dante and the visual arts. The Medieval World View (Oxford University Press\, with Bill Cook)\, now in its third edition\, has been in print since 1984. With Richard Emmerson\, he is the author of The Apocalyptic Tradition in Medieval Literature (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 1994). \nPresented by the Humanities Institute and the Department of Literature Italian Studies. Sponsored by the University of California Humanities Research Institute\, Siegfried and Elizabeth Mignon Puknat Literary Studies Endowment\, and Porter College
