SUMMARY:Humanities in the Age of AI Lunch meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Humanities Institute Research cluster\, “Humanities in the Age of AI\,” is pleased to invite you to their lunch meeting scheduled for Monday\, April 8th at 12pm in HUM 210. This month’s meeting will feature guest speakers Theresa Hice-Fromille (Ohio State University) and Sarah Papazoglakis (Lit PhD\, ’18) on Afrofuturism for Tech: Creative Approaches to Design and Policy. \nThe Speculative Fictions and Futures Project was initiated in 2022 by Sarah Papazoglakis and Theresa Hice-Fromille. With an initial archive of 39 speculative fiction texts\, the first stage of the project identified 10 common themes for an inclusive metaverse. The Afro-\, Latinx-\, Indigenous-\, and Asian-futurist texts analyzed explore many marginalized perspectives on the hopes\, fears\, and challenges brought forth by emerging technologies. The project’s 25 recommendations provide builders (digital artists\, computer scientists\, linguists\, policy experts\, etc.) with concrete suggestions and real-life examples to implement in metaverse construction. The focus of this presentation is on the ways the project data can be used to creatively consider a pressing issue: the ethical codes that will shape the construction and use of emerging technologies. Incorporating lessons from diverse speculative texts encourages cultural inclusivity in ways that solely focusing on existing legal frameworks cannot. \n\nSPEAKER BIOS \nTheresa Hice-Fromille (she/her) is an Assistant Professor of Geography at The Ohio State University with a PhD in Sociology and designated emphases in CRES and Feminist Studies from UC Santa Cruz. In 2022 she completed a summer THI public humanities fellowship with Meta’s Reality Labs where she co-developed a diverse speculative fictions archive that critically taxonomizes the technologies and futures portrayed in Afro-\, Indigenous-\, Asian-\, and Latinx-futurist cultural productions. Throughout 2022 and 2023 she led presentations and equity workshops for developers that draw on insights garnered from this archive to inspire equitable and conscientious technological innovation. She is currently extending this work to include youth participatory action research (YPAR) and workshops for young people in the so-called “Silicon Heartland.” \nSarah Papazoglakis holds a PhD in Literature from University of California\, Santa Cruz and is currently a Trust Strategist at Meta’s Reality Labs. In this role\, she builds privacy and responsible innovation frameworks for emerging VR technologies and bridges the gap between AI research and consumer product use. Sarah draws from her humanities PhD to help product and engineering leaders imagine and define positive social impacts of future technologies and scope the requirements needed to build privacy- and trust-by-design into foundational product architectures. \n\nThe research cluster boasts a diverse group of core participants. This includes six esteemed faculty members from various disciplines\, graduate students representing politics\, history\, literature\, philosophy\, feminist studies\, and film and visual studies\, and undergraduate scholars from computer science\, computational media\, and creative writing. To learn more about current cluster projects and further information about upcoming speakers visit: https://thi.ucsc.edu/clusters/humanities-in-the-age-of-artificial-intelligence/ \nThe Humanities Institute (THI) will graciously cater lunch for this meeting. Once we have obtained our meals\, we will gather and take our seats. The first 10 minutes have been set aside to elucidate the cluster’s overview. Following this\, we will go ahead with individual introductions. After a short five-minute recess\, speakers will commence their presentations\, anticipated to last for approximately 20 minutes. A structured dialogue on the topic will follow. \nFor those who prefer to schedule in advance\, please note the dates for our brown bag meetings throughout the academic year: 10/2 (lunch provided)\, 11/6\, 12/11\, 1/8 (lunch provided)\, 2/12\, 3/4\, 4/8 (lunch provided)\, and 5/6. \nTHI will graciously cater on the three specified dates. For the remaining meetings\, attendees are cordially invited to bring their lunch.

SUMMARY:What Can Genomics Teach Us About Jewish History with Dr. Shamam Waldman
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Helen Diller Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies will be given by Dr. Shamam Waldman. \nJoin us on April 9th at Cowell Ranch Hay Barn for Dr. Waldman’s lecture titled:\n“What Can Genomics Teach Us About Jewish History?” \n \nDoors will open at 5:30PM. The talk will begin promptly at 6:00PM. \n\nThe study of population genetics\, and specifically ancient DNA\, can now offer new insights into Jewish history. One profound example is in our understanding of the origins and early history of Ashkenazi Jews. Scholars in a variety of disciplines have\, for years\, debated the topic\, proposing different theories. Recent genetic analysis and research is helping to shed light on this long-standing puzzle. Another example of how population genetics can offer new insights concerns the genetic connections between the Bronze – Age Levant and present-day Jewish and Middle Eastern populations. \nIn this talk Dr. Shamam Waldman will share her perspective on these questions and the implications of new research based on ancient DNA. Dr. Waldman will present findings from two recent articles in Cell that she co- led: one analyzing DNA from 14th century Jews in Erfurt Germany which showed that the medieval Ashkenazi Jewish population was much more heterogeneous than the one today\, and the other on the genomic history of the people of the Bronze-Age Southern Levant which showed migrations from the Caucasus and Iran into this region between about 2500-1000 CE. \nPresented by the Center for Jewish Studies. Co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute and the Genomics Institute at UC Santa Cruz. This event is made possible by generous support from the Helen Diller Family Endowment and the Center for Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \n\nShamam Waldman completed her PhD at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in the field of population genetics\, and she is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Reich Lab at Harvard University. Dr. Waldman developed computational and statistical methods to analyze ancient DNA. She used these methods to study the genetic connections between Canaanites and present-day Middle Eastern populations\, as well as the genetic origins of Ashkenazi Jews. As a postdoctoral researcher she continues to study ancient DNA of Jews in Europe during the Middle Ages as well as hunter-gatherers from the Mesolithic period.

SUMMARY:Juned Shaikh - The Afterlife of Confiscation: Engels’ The Origin of the Family in 1930s and 40s India
DESCRIPTION:Gangadhar Adhikari returned to India from Germany in the 1920s with a tranche of books. He had recently completed his PhD in Chemistry in Berlin and had joined the Communist Party of Germany. Upon his return to India in 1928\, he joined the Communist Party of India and was jailed in 1929 on charges of a conspiracy to commit treason against the colonial government. His books were impounded and many of them were returned to him upon his release in 1933. The same books were confiscated again in 1935. On the list of books was Friedrich Engels’s The Origin of the Family\, Private Property and the State. This book was returned to him again in 1936 with the assessment that it was a history book\, not of instrumental use in political action. The book captured the imagination of some party intellectuals who believed that revolutionizing the family was crucial to a political and social revolution in India. Adhikari’s colleague in the party\, Shripad Dange was inspired by it to chart the history of the Indian family. Engels’ categories were imported to make sense of the history of the family in India. This also occasioned a historical materialist reading of Indian epics and families\, an engagement with orientalist readings\, and evocations of primitive communism in Indian antiquity. \nJuned Shaikh is Associate Professor of History at UCSC. He is currently working on a book on Gangadhar Adhikari. \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:Native Speaker Series with Patty Krawec
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join the American Indian Resource Center‘s Native Speaker Series with Patty Krawec (Anishinaabe/Ukrainian)\, on April 11th\, 2024\, to be held at the Namaste Lounge located at College 9 and JRL at 5:00 PM-7:00 PM. \nGuest author\, Patty Krawec will share with us her most recent book titled: Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future. Her discussion will focus on building intentional movement and embodying radical rest\, shedding self-care as a survival strategy\, and thinking more collectively about community care. For those new to Patty Krawec\, and to those that joined the AIRC Book Circle in the winter\, then come join us in conversation. This event is open to all UCSC affiliates and guests! \n \n\nBook Description \n“Weaving her own story with the story of her ancestors and with the broader themes of creation\, replacement\, and disappearance\, Krawec helps readers see settler colonialism through the eyes of an Indigenous writer. Settler colonialism tried to force us into one particular way of living\, but the old ways of kinship can help us imagine a different future. Krawec asks\, What would it look like to remember that we are all related? How might we become better relatives to the land\, to one another\, and to Indigenous movements for solidarity? Braiding together historical\, scientific\, and cultural analysis\, Indigenous ways of knowing\, and the vivid threads of communal memory\, Krawec crafts a stunning\, forceful call to “unforget” our history.” \n  \nThis event is hosted in collaboration with UCSC’s: The Center for Reimsgining Leadership (CRL)\, OpenLab and the Vera Rubin Presidential Chair\, Center for Coastal Climate Resilience (CCCR)\, Anthropology\, Community Studoies and History Departments\, College Nine and John R. Lewis College Co Curricular Programs Office (CoCo)\, The Humanities Institute (THI)\, Student Diversity and Inclusion program (ODEI/SDIP)\, Sustainability Office (SEJA/SO)\, People of Color Sustainability Collective (PoCSC)\, and the American Indian Resource Center (AIRC).

SUMMARY:Book Talk with Laila Shereen Sakr: Arabic Glitch and Digital Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Laila Shereen Sakr (UC Santa Barbara) will give her talk entitled\, “Arabic Glitch and Digital Palestine” and present her recent book\, Arabic Glitch: Technocultures\, Data Bodies\, and Archives. \nArabic Glitch explores an alternative origin story of twenty-first century technological innovation in digital politics—one centered on the Middle East and the 2011 Arab uprisings. Developed from an archive of social media data collected over the decades following the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq\, this book interrogates how the logic of programming technology influences and shapes social movements. Engaging revolutionary politics\, Arab media\, and digital practice in form\, method\, and content\, Laila Shereen Sakr formulates a media theory that advances the concept of the glitch as a disruptive media affordance. Playing with multiple voices that span across the virtual and the real\, Sakr argues that there is no longer a divide between the virtual and embodied: both bodies and data are physically\, socially\, and energetically actual. \nThe concept of Arabic Glitch challenges the once dominant narratives about the relationship between technology and political agency that center Silicon Valley\, as well as the study of digital art (specifically glitch art)\, the study of online social movements\, and area studies of the Arabic-speaking Middle East and North Africa. It instigates interventions by demonstrating that twenty-first-century resistance movements are grounded in the 2011 Arab uprisings; showing how social media stage confrontations between state and resistors; introducing the valuable concept of data bodies\, which keep the body and analog experience in digital knowledge production\, and promoting software literacy. While “glitch” in popular parlance is typically understood as an unwelcome error\, an Arabic glitch functions as both a visual artifact and conceptual “tear” in technologies and institutions–a tear that creates an opening for social change. The argument interweaves ideas from artistic practice with discussions of historical and social movements while considering technoculture in the Arab world through the framework of “glitch.” \nLaila Shereen Sakr is Associate Professor of Media Theory and Practice at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. Her research in media analytics and creative scholarship have deployed the idea\, experimentation\, and aesthetics of glitch to make a series of conceptual points culminating in her single-authored book\, Arabic Glitch: Technoculture\, Data Bodies\, and Archives (Stanford University Press\, 2023). At UCSB\, she co-founded Wireframe\, a studio promoting collaborative theoretical and creative media practice with investments in global\, social\, and environmental justice. She is Faculty Affiliate in the Department of Feminist Studies\, Department of Media Arts and Technology\, Center for Responsible Machine Learning\, Center for Middle East Studies\, and the Center for Information Technology and Society. \nPresented by The Center for the Middle East and North Africa located within The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz.
