SUMMARY:Jennifer Mogannam – Gendering Revolution: Palestinian Praxis\, Labor\, and Decolonization
DESCRIPTION:As a population of exile – transnational\, stateless refugees struggling to return to their lands and rebuild their communities lost since 1948 – the Palestinian people built a grassroots trajectory of decolonization that peaked in the 1970s. Through oral histories and cultural text\, this presentation analyzes gendered labor\, value\, and the intersections of national and popular struggles in the Palestinian liberation movement at the time. It juxtaposes the use of iconography with women’s narratives of participatory quotidian resistance to illuminate what is absent from masculinist histories and to interrogate the significance of pride for women and gendered labor in revolution. Lastly\, this talk offers possibilities for alternative views of gendered labor\, the consumption of femininity in revolution\, and prospects for more sustainable and equitable revolutionary praxis. \nJennifer Mogannam is an Assistant Professor of Critical Race & Ethnic Studies and an affiliate of the Center for the Middle East & North Africa at UC Santa Cruz. Prior to UC Santa Cruz\, she was a UC President’s postdoctoral fellow at UC Davis and\, through the program\, was selected as a 2023-24 Mellon Foundation/UC-HSI Humanities Initiative Faculty Fellow. She earned her PhD in Ethnic Studies from UC San Diego and her MA in Arab and Middle Eastern Studies from the American University of Beirut. Her scholarship is cross-disciplinary – centering oral history\, ethnography\, archives\, and cultural criticism – and broadly examines 20th and 21st century Palestinian and Arab transnational movements and third world solidarities\, with an eye for analyzing movement praxis for liberated futures. Her work intervenes in the critical study of refugees\, borders\, colonialism and imperialism\, global scales of race and indigeneity\, and resistance. Her current book project frames and analyzes the coalitional relationship forged between Palestinian and Lebanese revolutionary fronts during Civil War Lebanon. \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. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Mediterranean Studies\, Present & Future: The “California School” Twenty Years On
DESCRIPTION:From its inception at UC Santa Cruz in 2003\, the “California School” of Mediterranean Studies has promoted the Mediterranean not (pace Braudel) as a predefined place of the olive and the vine\, but as a heuristic rubric useful for disrupting or reconfiguring existing categories of analysis (especially those defined by nation-states\, continents\, or religious cultures)—in the process generating new questions and bringing new objects\, case studies\, or perspectives into focus. Now\, two decades on\, the Fall 2023 Mediterranean Seminar Workshop will return to UCSC on the 20th anniversary of the foundation of the UCSC Mediterranean Studies Reading Group\, the precursor to the Mediterranean Seminar\, to take stock of the field and suggest new avenues of research and methodologies.   \n“Mediterranean Studies\, Present & Future: The ‘California School’ Twenty Years On\,” the Mediterranean Seminar Fall 2023 Workshop\, is is organized by Sharon Kinoshita and Brian A. Catlos\, and is hosted by the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, sponsored by the Literature Department and the Humanities Division with generous support from the Siegfried B. and Elisabeth Mignon Puknat Endowment for Literary Studies\, The Humanities Institute\, and the Center for the Middle East and North Africa at UCSC\, together with the CU Mediterranean Studies Group and the Mediterranean Seminar. \nFor more information\, please contact: mailbox@mediterraneanseminar.org.
