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:CANCELLED - Mjriam Abu Samra – New Horizons in Struggle: The Role of Transnational Palestinian Youth in Decolonial Politics
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Center for the Middle East and North Africa (CMENA) \nIt seems we are living and witnessing a historical moment in the politics of “the Palestine Question.” No matter what analytical framework or political perspective is invoked\, no matter the profound disagreement that can emerge in reading not only the current phase but also the historical context\, there is a shared agreement that this is a moment of rupture from the discourses and strategies that\, for the past 30 years\, have dominated the approach to\, and understanding of\, Palestine at the international level. A polarised environment has re-emerged with many comparing the current anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim discourse—pushed by the government and sustained by its support for Israel and stigmatisation of solidarity with Palestine—to the 9/11 context. At the popular level\, however\, a stronger movement keeps developing in solidarity with Palestinians\, led by Palestinian youth movements transnationally. How has Palestinian youth political engagement been impacted by the current developments in Palestine and in the international system? What are the discourses they are articulating and how are they different from previous rhetoric? What are the strategies of mobilisation that they are using? Is there a rupture or can any continuity be identified with the political engagement of older Palestinian generations in Diaspora? My presentation attempts to answers these questions by analysing current and ongoing practices of political mobilisation of Palestinian youth in the US\, discussing the potential role they can play in the political development of the Palestinian movement. \nMjriam Abu Samra will be joining the department of Anthropology at UC Davis with ties to the program in Middle East/South Asian Studies as a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow through the cooperation with her hosting institution\, the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice\, Italy –Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage. Mjriam received her Ph.D. from the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford\, UK and her MA in Middle East Politics from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)\, UK. Her research focuses on Palestinian transnational student and youth politics and Third World solidarities. Her work intervenes in the critical study of refugees\, colonialisms\, social movements and it is grounded on critical theories on subalternity and decolonization building on Gramsci and Fanon contribution to post-colonial studies. As a MSC Postdoctoral Fellow Mjriam will be exploring the political potential of contemporary Palestinian transnational youth activism in the United States and Europe through an historical comparative lens. Mjriam has publications in the Revue des Mondes Musulmans et de la Méditerranée and the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies. \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:Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics (LAAL) Colloquia: Dr. Elu Tu
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics Colloquium is pleased to present: \nDr. Elu Tu\nUC Santa Cruz \nspeaking on\nAnalyzing Asynchronous Online Chinese Language Learning Materials under the PICRAT Technology Integration Model \n\nDr. Elu Tu will present on Wednesday\, May 29th at 12:45 pm via Zoom. \nMeeting ID: 981 3067 3074\nPasscode: 064315 \n \n  \nAbstract \nThe PICRAT framework is a model designed to explore the complex relationships between instructors\, students\, and technology in the context of teaching practices. This framework utilizes the PIC (Passive\, Integrative\, Creative) and RAT (Replaces\, Amplifies\, Transforms) axes to illustrate the dynamics of the student-teacher-technology relationship. Specifically\, the PIC axis shows how students engage with technology\, while the RAT axis illustrates how instructors use technology to enhance their teaching practices. These axes are used to construct a matrix that demonstrates the nine possible combinations of teaching practices that can occur. This study collected asynchronous online Chinese language instructional videos across three proficiency levels (i.e.\, Novice\, Intermediate\, and Advanced) and used content analysis to examine how the nine possibilities in teaching practices are implemented in each proficiency level under the PICRAT framework. The results demonstrated the similarities and differences between PICRAT practices at different proficiency levels. The data analysis will contribute to language instruction by providing pedagogical insights for different proficiency levels\, which can enhance language teaching and learning outcomes. \nElu Tu is a Lecturer of Chinese Language in the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. She earned her Ph.D. degree in the Curriculum and Instruction Department—World Language Education program from the University of Wisconsin- Madison. Her research focuses on instructional technology\, self-directed learning\, and digital literacy.

SUMMARY:Martin Rizzo-Martinez: We Are Not Animals
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes Martin Rizzo-Martinez\, assistant professor at UC Santa Cruz\, for a discussion of We Are Not Animals: Indigenous Politics of Survival\, Rebellion\, and Reconstitution in Nineteenth-Century California\, now available in paperback. By examining historical records and drawing on oral histories and the work of anthropologists\, archaeologists\, ecologists\, and psychologists\, We Are Not Animals sets out to answer questions of who the Indigenous people in the Santa Cruz region were and how they survived through the nineteenth century. \n \nAbout We Are Not Animals \nBetween 1770 and 1900 the linguistically and culturally diverse Ohlone and Yokuts tribes adapted to and expressed themselves politically and culturally through three distinct colonial encounters with Spain\, Mexico\, and the United States. In We Are Not Animals Martin Rizzo-Martinez traces tribal\, familial\, and kinship networks through the missions’ chancery registry records to reveal stories of individuals and families and shows how ethnic and tribal differences and politics shaped strategies of survival within the diverse population that came to live at Mission Santa Cruz. \nWe Are Not Animals illuminates the stories of Indigenous individuals and families to reveal how Indigenous politics informed each of their choices within a context of immense loss and violent disruption. \nMartin Rizzo-Martinez is an Assistant Professor in the Film & Digital Media Department at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. His research focuses on the history of Indigenous resistance and survival in Santa Cruz County during the 19th century. He has worked closely with Bay Area Indigenous communities\, like the Amah Mutsun\, in his research and collaborative projects. His book has received multiple awards. Among other media projects\, he co-produces a podcast entitled Challenging Colonialism.
