SUMMARY:Right Livelihood International Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join us April 23-27\, 2024\, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the UCSC Right Livelihood Center. We will inaugurate UCSC’s new role as Global Secretariat of the Right Livelihood College network\, launch an international student network\, launch faculty-laureate research clusters\, and more. Events are free and open to the public. \nLearn more about the conference and register for events at: https://rightlivelihood.ucsc.edu/conference \nFeaturing International Speakers: Phylis Omido\, Juan Pablo Orrego\, and International Student Delegates. \nPhyllis Omido – dubbed the “Erin Brockovich of East Africa” – is a Kenyan environmental activist leading the battle for the justice and health of the Owino Uhuru community that has suffered from lead poisoning ever since a battery smelting plant began operating in their village. Omido’s use of litigation\, advocacy\, and media engagement has set vital legal precedents\, affirming people’s right to a clean and healthy environment and the state’s responsibility to safeguard it. \nJuan Pablo Orrego is a Chilean musician and environmentalist who has worked for decades to preserve the Biobío River\, one of South America’s most spectacular and ecologically significant rivers. The campaign has become a symbol of the environmental and social struggle still ongoing in the country\, connecting the dots between energy policy\, environment\, indigenous people’s rights\, monopolies\, and the neo-liberal development goals of the establishment. \nWe will be joined by a cadre of thirteen students from the Global Campus of Human Rights\, a network comprised of over 100 universities\, and the Right Livelihood College\, a network with campuses in Nigeria\, India\, Thailand\, Chile\, Argentina\, Sweden\, Germany\, Switzerland\, and UC Santa Cruz. \n  \n  \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Institute for Social Transformation\, Division of Social Sciences\, UCSC Foundation\, Kamieniecki Lecture Fund Endowment\, Merrill\, Porter and Stevenson Colleges\, Global Campus of Human Rights\, Student Fee Advisory Committee\, Dolores Huerta Research Center for the Americas\, The Humanities Institute\, Politics Democratic Discourse and Engagement Initiative\, Legal Studies Department\, Silicon Valley Leadership Group\, Division of Student Affairs and Success\, and The Jack and Peggy Baskin Endowed Chair in Feminist Studies.

SUMMARY:Carla Freccero – Do Animals Have History?
DESCRIPTION:This talk\, very much a meditation-in-progress\, asks a series of questions about how we (in the Western European intellectual tradition) come to think about the categories of history and evolution and the various ways we might deconstruct this opposition\, making way for co-constitutive material histories of the living. It also asks whether\, in the time of the now\, we are prepared to overcome a Cartesian inheritance to confront a shared\, shattered\, and shattering historical predicament together with other living others. \nCarla Freccero is Distinguished Professor of Literature and History of Consciousness at UCSC\, where she has taught since 1991. Trained in early modern continental European history and literature\, she also publishes in US popular culture\, queer and feminist theory\, and\, most recently\, animal studies. Author of three books (on Rabelais; on popular culture; and on Queer Early Modernity) and co-editor of a number of journal issues dealing with sexuality\, race and animality\, her in-progress book is tentatively titled Animate Figures. \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. Staff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Yosimar Reyes' One-Man Show: "Prieto"
DESCRIPTION:NATIONALLY ACCLAIMED POET\, YOSIMAR REYES\, BRINGS HIS FULL-LENGTH AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ONE-MAN SHOW TO UC SANTA CRUZ\nDirected by Kat Evasco and Sean San José\, Produced by The Living World Project \n  \nCRES 70u – (Un)docu Studies\, in collaboration with the Cultural Arts and Diversity Resource Center (CADrc) and the Center for Racial Justice (CRJ) bring the captivating autobiographical one-man show written and performed by renowned artist Yosimar Reyes – “Prieto” to UC Santa Cruz. \nThrough the playful\, lovably naive lens of an 8-year-old Reyes\, Prieto tells the story of an overprotective grandmother who recycles bottles to support her family while her grandson wonders why they can’t have money like his friends. It tells the story of chismosa vecinas (gossipy neighbors) who peek through their windows and watch as the neighborhood boys tease young Reyes for “acting like a girl.” To escape from the taunting and the daily toil\, Reyes creates an imaginary world for himself — one made up of books and ’90s R&B. Prieto saw its world premiere production at San Francisco’s Brava Theater in October 2022. Now on tour with The Living Word Project\, Prieto has seen productions at San Jose Theater\, and Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana (MACLA) in San Jose\, CA. \nThis event is free for UCSC Students\, Faculty and Staff with Registration. Doors will open at 7:00 PM\, show begins at 7:30PM. \n \n  \nCo-sponsored by Baskin School of Engineering\, Center for Reimagining Leadership\, Dean of Students Office\, Division of Student Affairs and Success\, El Centro – Chicanx Latinx Resource Center\, The Lionel Cantú Queer Resource Center\, HSI Initiatives\, Social Science Division\, The Humanities Institute\, Humanities Division\, Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, Education Department\, and the Sociology Department.

SUMMARY:Saturday Shakespeare
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Shakespeare Workshop at UCSC\, the first in-person meeting of the Saturday Shakespeare Group in four years will take place on Saturday\, April 27th in the new Aptos Library\, with a Zoom option for those who can not attend in person. The nominal meeting time is 10:00 am\, library doors open at 10:00 am. \nThe speaker for this meeting will be Paul Whitworth\, distinguished Shakespearean actor and director. \nHis professional acting career began at the Royal Shakespeare Company (1976-1982). In 1984\, he joined Shakespeare Santa Cruz where he played many major roles including Hamlet\, Benedict in Much Ado About Nothing\, Iago\, Richard III\, and last year\, at Santa Cruz Shakespeare\, King Lear. He was Artistic Director of Shakespeare Santa Cruz from 1996 to 2007. \nReadings: All of Act I + Act II Scene 1 \nReading Coordinator: Bob Morgan | rmorgan3135@gmail.com\nIf you would like to read please email Bob as soon as possible. \nZoom Information\nFor those who will be attending by Zoom\, here is the Zoom information. The link is:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/89795220016?pwd=QRcs1tQt6TAxaaBdYqUrXW6XVu4JlJ.1\nMeeting ID: 897 9522 0016\nPasscode: 755261 \nFuture Meetings \n\nApril 27 | Paul Whitworth\nMay 4 | Charles Pasternack\nMay 11 | Sean Keilen\nMay 18 | Michael Warren\nMay 25 | DVD showing\nJune 1 | Zoom only showing of DVD\n\nDirections\nThe Aptos library is easy to find –> Exit highway 1 at State Park Drive and go north to Soquel Drive. Turn left on Soquel Drive and the library is almost immediately on the right. The address is 7695 Soquel Dr\, Aptos\, CA 95003. There is free parking. \nThe Text\nWe will be using the Pelican edition. If you would like to read please get hold of a copy of this edition because there are differences between different editions. There are two sources for the play\, the second quarto (Q2) of 1604-5 and the first folio (F) of 1623. The folio contains 70 lines not in Q2 and lacks 230 that are in Q2. Most editions combine them in a conflated text\, thus making a long play even longer. The pelican edition does not do that\, but sticks almost entirely to Q2. As a result there will be significant differences between the Pelican edition and an edition that uses a conflated text. \nUnfortunately Bookshop Santa Cruz won’t order copies for the group (unless all copies are paid for in advance). You will therefore need to order a copy yourself. Alternatively you can buy it on Amazon. It is difficult to find the Pelican edition by searching on the Amazon site. Better is to google “Hamlet Pelican Edition Amazon”. \nDonations to Santa Cruz Shakespeare\nOur meetings are free\, but we suggest that members make a contribution to Santa Cruz Shakespeare. \nTo do this you can either make a donation by credit card through their website or send a check payable to Santa Cruz Shakespeare:\nSanta Cruz Shakespeare\n501 Upper Park Rd\nSanta Cruz\, CA 95065 \nIf you send a check\, it would be helpful if you could indicate that this gift is on behalf of the Saturday Shakespeare Group. \nNew Members Wanted\nWe are always looking for new members. Everyone is welcome. If you know of anyone who would be interested in attending these meetings\, please encourage them to do so. Contact saturdayshakespeare@gmail.com to be added to the mailing list. \nNote: It is strongly encouraged to attend in person if you possibly can. The lectures and readings will be much more vivid for those actually present\, and the in-person interactions will restart the social aspect of the group.
