SUMMARY:Slugs and Steins - Learning About Autism From Autistic People
DESCRIPTION:Most of the research on autism is conducted by non-autistic people. The neurodiversity movement centers autistic perspectives which contributes to a better understanding of autistic experiences and can counteract existing stereotypes about autistic people. In this presentation\, we discuss two methods for centering autistic perspectives on autism—including autistic people on research teams and reading autistic autobiographies—and explore several potential benefits of doing so. \n \nNameera Akhtar is a Professor of Psychology\, and Janette Dinishak is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. After a fruitful decade of collaborating on autism-related topics\, these two academics would like you to know that they are not experts on autism. In their presentation they will introduce you to some of the real experts. \nSlugs & Steins: Lectures from UC Santa Cruz is a monthly series comprised of informal discussions highlighting UC Santa Cruz’s many amazing faculty members. Talks are held on the 2nd Monday of each month with topics ranging from organic artichokes to endangered zebras\, self-driving cars to Shakespeare. All are welcome\, and audience participation is encouraged. We encourage you to share the link far and wide as slugs and friends from around the world may join us. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Kuumbwa Jazz Presents - Delbert Anderson Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Delbert Anderson\, a Diné jazz trumpet artist\, composer\, and educator\, stands at the forefront of a vibrant Native American jazz scene. His work\, deeply rooted in his Diné heritage\, seamlessly integrates Navajo “spinning songs” of love\, healing\, and courtship with jazz and funk\, thus marking him as a community-minded Indigenous individualist. Through his Delbert Anderson Quartet\, Anderson revives the improvised sounds of the Diné circle\, blending them with jazz\, funk\, and hip-hop. His compositions are inspired by Navajo Nation landscapes\, historical events\, and the desire to preserve and educate about Diné history. \n \nHis commitment to community and education is evident through his “Build A Band” educational program\, which teaches jazz improvisation to young students through a Diné and family curriculum\, wellness programs\, and community outreach initiatives aimed at evoking change for the well-being of all humans. \nAnderson’s achievements have garnered recognition\, including multiple awards from Chamber Music America\, the Cultural Capital Fellowship from the First Peoples Fund\, and the Jazz Road Program at South Arts. His contributions to music and culture have been featured in prominent outlets like The New York Times\, JazzTimes\, Grammy.com\, and NPR. \nCo-sponsored by The Humanities Institute.
