SUMMARY:An Evening with Marilynne Robinson: Noel Q King Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Marilynne Robinson\, a prolific novelist and essayist\, is the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction\, the National Book Critics Circle Award\, and a National Humanities Medal. President Barack Obama applauded “her grace and intelligence in writing.” Her most recent book\, Reading Genesis\, is a meditation on the origins of humankind and the meaning of God’s enduring faith in humanity. \nThis year\, Marilynne Robinson will deliver the Noel Q. King Memorial Lecture to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Humanities Institute and explore the Institute’s annual theme: Humanity. The Noel Q. King Memorial Lecture honors the life and work of Noel King\, a founding faculty member of Merrill College and advocate for the comparative study of world religions. \n \nMarilynne Robinson is the recipient of a 2012 National Humanities Medal\, awarded by President Barack Obama\, for “her grace and intelligence in writing.” She is the author of Gilead\, winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award; Home\, winner of the Orange Prize and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; and Lila\, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award. Her first novel\, Housekeeping\, won the Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award. In 2021\, all four Gilead novels were selected for Oprah’s Book Club.

King came to UCSC in the late Sixties as a “founding father” of Merrill College. Born in India and educated in England\, he spent 14 years in Africa heading departments of religious studies before being hired to do the same at Santa Cruz. Professor King was a prominent and beloved figure here on the hill. After he died in 2009\, the Noel Q. King Memorial Lecture Series was started as a way to keep religious studies\, and Noel King’s idiosyncratic spirit\, alive at UCSC. This year\, Marilynne Robinson will deliver the Noel Q. King Memorial Lecture. \n

SUMMARY:Laliv Melamed – On Intimacy and Other Sovereignties
DESCRIPTION:How can we explain decades of Israeli civil society’s consensus around a regime of oppression and impunity? What mediated attachments and disavowals mandate settler colonial violence?

Her work focuses on media and forms of governance in Israel-Palestine.

Light refreshments will be provided. \nMike Wilson is a dedicated humanitarian and co-author of What Side Are You On? with Dr. Jose Antonio Lucero. His work addresses the intersections of poverty\, racism\, and colonialism\, with a focus on migrant rights and humanitarian aid along the border.

SUMMARY:Casting the Dice: A Dialogue on Migration Through Music
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special event with composer Iván Enrique Rodríguez and UC Santa Cruz scholar Amy Argenal to discuss the complex experiences of migrants\, the many challenges of seeking asylum and refuge in the United States\, and the power of music as a tool for social change. \nPresented by The Humanities Institute and the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music\, the event features “Casting the Dice\,” an orchestral work narrated and composed by Rodríguez and based on stories collected from migrants around the world. The piece\, which premiered at the Cabrillo Festival in Summer 2024\, examines the lived experiences of people who have been displaced\, delving into the connections of immigrants and refugees with their homelands\, and their personal journeys as they navigate rebuilding their lives in a new country. \nRodríguez will discuss his process composing this orchestral piece with Argenal\, a scholar of migration\, human rights educator\, and active collaborator with local immigrant and refugee rights organizations. Alongside the conversation\, attendees will get a chance to connect with groups that offer resources to migrants in Santa Cruz County and advocate for just immigration policies\, providing an opportunity to learn about ways to support local efforts in our community. \nThis event is free and open to the public but we ask that you please register. \n \n \nDr. Iván Enrique Rodríguez\, a Puerto Rican composer\, is acclaimed for his gripping\, dramatic music rooted in social justice and Puerto Rican heritage. His notable works include A Metaphor for Power\, addressing Latinx and equality issues\, and Casting the Dice\, about refugees and immigration\, commissioned by the Cabrillo Festival. His music has been performed in major venues like Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center\, as well as in refugee camps across Europe. Rodríguez received the 2019 ASCAP Leonard Bernstein Award and the 2023 ASCAP Rudolf Nissim Prize. He earned his doctorate from The Juilliard School. \nDr. Amy Argenal is an Assistant Teaching Professor of Community-Engaged Research and Learning in the Sociology Department. She completed her doctorate in International and Multicultural Education at the University of San Francisco\, where she also received her Master’s in the same area of study. She received her second Masters in Human Rights from Mahidol University in Thailand. Her current research focuses on the root causes of migration from Central America and explores methodologies that bring the narratives of migrant communities to the forefront. \nEvent Logistics\nParking is available in UCSC Lot #115 or 116 but we also encourage bicycling\, car pooling\, ridesharing\, and public transportation.
