SUMMARY:Sophia Azeb - Black Anticolonialism and Radical Relation
DESCRIPTION:The History of Consciousness department is pleased to announce the next speaker in their Spring 2025 Speaker Series\, Sophia Azeb\, who will deliver her talk entitled “Black Anticolonialism and Radical Relation” on Monday\, May 12th at 1pm in Humanities Building 1\, Room 420. \nThis talk explores the radical anticolonial subjectivities forged across what Richard Iton suggests as “diasporic breathing room\,” or – in my own interpretation – the ungeographic sensibilities that Black study offers transnational and translational theories of decolonisation. Focusing on the productive tensions emergent from 20th century Black anticolonial practice – particularly the unmapping tendencies of Frantz Fanon – this talk attends to the cultural\, political\, and affective matrix of anticolonial possibilities and limits emergent from across the African diaspora. This emphasis on how Black anticolonial practice draws upon the unsettled spatial orientation of the diaspora\, which informs Black anticolonial epistemologies\, does not presume that racial identity itself is fixed\, or that meanings made from identity and experience constitute an anticolonial politic in and of itself. Rather\, the ever shifting\, “undecidable blackness” that instructs and shapes particular anticolonial pursuits towards the horizon of decolonisation make legible a set of radical subjectivities that embolden anticolonial sociality beyond the “authenticating geography” of the nation-state. \nSophia Azeb is an assistant professor of Black studies in the Department of Critical Race & Ethnic Studies at UCSC. Her book\, tentatively titled “Another Country: Translational Blackness and the Afro-Arab\,” follows the circuits of transnational and translational blackness charted by African American\, Afro-Caribbean\, African\, and Afro-Arab peoples across 20th century North and West Africa and Europe.

SUMMARY:Slugs and Steins with Associate Professor Muriam Davis - What Does it Mean to "Decolonize" Knowledge?
DESCRIPTION:The country of Algeria\, located in North Africa\, experienced one of the most violent struggles for independence of the twentieth century. The war against France\, which lasted from 1954–62 has become a paradigmatic case study of the historical process known as decolonization and inspired classic films such as the Battle of Algiers\, as well as texts such as Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth. This talk will explore how Algerian intellectuals sought to break away from Eurocentric models of knowledge production and nation-building in the decades following independence. Their reflections focused on language and the need to increase the reach of higher education. They also reflected on the ways in which disciplinary boundaries—between sociology and anthropology\, or between philosophy and sociology—were rooted in colonization. By focusing on historical actors that sought to find new ways to organize higher learning\, it will explore how the university was—and continues to be—an institution shaped by political struggles and emancipatory hopes. \n \nMuriam Haleh Davis is an Associate Professor of History and the Director of the Center for the Middle East and North Africa at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Her first book\, Markets of Civilization: Islam and Racial Capitalism in Algeria\, was published by Duke University Press in 2022. She also co-edited North Africa and the Making of Europe: Governance\, Institutions\, and Culture\, which was published by Bloomsbury Press in 2018. She is co-chair of the editorial committee for MERIP (Middle East Research and Information Project) and is co-editor of the Maghreb Page for Jadaliyya. She has previously held fellowships at the European University Institute in Florence\, the IMéRA in Marseille and the The Merian Center for Advanced Studies in the Maghreb (MECAM) in Tunis. Her public-facing writing and commentary has appeared in the LA Review of Books\, Al Jazeera English\, MERIP and Jadaliyya as well as on France 24 and NPR. \nSlugs and Steins are free informal lectures served up over Zoom. Brought to you by the UC Santa Cruz Alumni Association\, each talk will engage one of our favorite professors in discussion with you\, the local community of Silicon Valley\, and beyond. We will cover everything from organic artichokes to endangered zebras\, self-driving cars to Shakespeare. All are welcome. Audience participation is encouraged. \nWatch past Slugs and Steins events here. \nQuestions? Please contact University Events at specialevents@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:Akum Longchari – Reimagining Humanization\, Just Peace\, and Healing through an Indigenous Lens
DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for South Asian Studies for a presentation by Aküm Longchari\, the Center’s Scholar in Residence. \nFrom an Indigenous perspective\, peace processes in the first quarter of the 21st century have been focused on State-building\, where questions of justice and peace remained a matter of privilege and power rather than a right of all peoples. State-led processes tend to focus on ending physical violence in armed conflict\, without addressing the violence of unjust political\, social\, economic\, and cultural structures\, which led to the conflict in the first place. This dialogue seeks to “Reimagine Humanization\, Just Peace\, and Healing through an Indigenous Lens\,” as an emancipatory bottom-up framework\, applying intercultural and interdisciplinary approaches which amplifies the values of a shared humanity. \nAküm Longchari is an educator in peacebuilding\, co-founder and publisher of The Morung Express (2005)\, an independent English-language newspaper based in Nagaland. Aküm holds an LLB\, MA in Conflict Transformation\, and a PhD which focused on Self Determination as a Resource for JustPeace. \nPresented by the Center for South Asian Studies. Co-Sponsored by the UC Santa Cruz Indigenous Faculty Network and The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Keith David Watenpaugh - Who Has the Human Right to Charge Genocide?
DESCRIPTION:Keith David Watenpaugh will deliver the first talk in the CMENA Student Choice Speaker Series\, titled “Who Has the Human Right to Charge Genocide?: Reclaiming Genocide as a Powerful Justice Tool Requires Moving Beyond the 1948 Genocide Convention.” \nThe 1948 Genocide Convention doesn’t work – at least not for peoples seeking justice for mass atrocity. It does work to protect most states that have destroyed a people\, in whole or in part\, from ever being held responsible for committing the “crime of crimes.” As the public and academic understanding of genocide has been shaped by the narrow and legalistic interpretation of the genocide idea in the Convention\, that understanding has been used to deny the right of victims of historical and contemporary mass atrocity to argue that they have faced genocide. The putative failure to meet the international legal standard not only reenacts the colonial and racist origins of the statute itself but has also been a way to negate and deny the legitimacy or veracity of broader justice claims by communities of victims. Once denied\, these communities are no longer eligible for the kinds of restorative justice and global attention that the charge of genocide carries. Denial and its afterlives has shape the right of indigenous peoples in the Western Hemisphere and Australasia\, descendants of enslaved Africans in diaspora\, Armenians\, Assyrians\, Kurds\, and most recently Palestinians to charge genocide. \nIn this talk\, historian and theorist of human rights\, Prof. Keith David Watenpaugh\, argues that historians\, international lawyers\, humanities scholars and those in law and public policy should stop using the Convention’s terms to define genocide. Rather he asks us to embrace an understanding of genocide closer to Raphael Lemkin’s original proposal and as outlined in his Axis Rule in Occupied Europe: Laws of Occupation – Analysis of Government – Proposals for Redress\, (1944) to reclaim the genocide idea as both a powerful human rights tool of analysis and justice\, and a basis for making violence and mass atrocity more visible\, actionable and preventable. \nKeith David Watenpaugh is professor and founding director of Human Rights Studies at the University of California\, Davis.  He is author and editor of several books\, including the multiple-award winning Bread from Stones: The Middle East and the Making of Modern Humanitarianism (University of California Press\, 2015.) His articles appear in the American Historical Review\, Perspectives on History\, Social History\, Journal of Human Rights\, Humanity\, International Journal of Middle East Studies\, Chronicle of Higher Education\, Inside Higher Education\, and Newsweek; his work has been translated into French\, German\, Armenian\, Arabic\, Turkish and Persian. He has lived and worked in Syria\, Turkey\, Lebanon\, Armenia\, Iraq\, and Egypt. In addition to awards from the American Council of Learned Societies and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, in 2019 he received the Institute of International Education Centennial Medal and in 2021 for defending the right to education\, and in 2021 the Edmund O’Brien Award for Individual Achievement in Human Rights Education by Human Rights Educators-USA.

SUMMARY:The Maya K. Peterson Explorations in History Seminar Series: Andy Bruno - An Environmental History of the Tunguska Mystery
DESCRIPTION:The third annual Maya K. Peterson Explorations in History Seminar Series will take place on Thursday\, May 15th\, 2025\, at 12:30pm at the Cowell Provost House. This event will be livestreamed and recorded (link to be provided soon). \nThis year’s guest speaker is Andy Bruno\, Stephen F. Cohen Chair of Russian History and Professor\, Indiana University Bloomington. Professor Bruno’s lecture is titled “An Environmental History of the Tunguska Mystery.” \nIn 1908\, the Tunguska explosion in Siberia knocked down an area of forest larger than London. While most scientists now believe that an airburst from an asteroid caused the blast\, unmistakable remnants of a space rock have never been found. Over the last century\, the mysterious nature of the event has prompted a wide array of speculation and investigation\, including from science fiction writers and voluntary researchers. Some have even explained Tunguska as a nuclear explosion triggered by aliens. This presentation will recount the intriguing history of the Tunguska event and the investigations into it. Foregrounding the significance of mystery in environmental and Soviet history\, it will show how efforts to understand the explosion have shaped the treatment of the landscape\, how uncertainty allowed alternative forms of knowledge to enter scientific conversations\, and how cosmic disasters have influenced the past and might affect the future. \nAndy Bruno works as a professor in the Department of History at Indiana University Bloomington\, where he holds the Stephen F. Cohen Chair of Russian History. A specialist in the environmental history of the Soviet Union\, he is the author of The Nature of Soviet Power: An Arctic Environmental History (2016) and Tunguska: A Siberian Mystery and its Environmental Legacy (2022)\, which recently appeared in paperback. \nThis event is made possible by The Maya K. Peterson Memorial Endowment and is co-sponsored by the UCSC History Department. \n\n\nThe Maya K. Peterson Explorations in History Seminar Series at UCSC honors the life and spirit of a brilliant scholar\, teacher\, and mentor whose career was cut short by her untimely death in 2021. A specialist in Russian\, Central Asian and environmental history\, Maya was a valued member of UCSC’s faculty in the History Department and the Humanities Division. The Explorations in History Seminar Series celebrates Maya’s passions for the study of history\, for dialogue between the humanities and the sciences\, and for innovative scholarship across disciplines—passions that she shared generously with students\, colleagues\, and communities around the globe.

SUMMARY:Living Writers with Maria Elena Ramirez
DESCRIPTION:Living Writers Series – Spring 2025 \nInsight\, Writings: Third World and Other Imaginaries \nMaria E. Ramirez is a woman of Chicana\, Puerto Rican\, and Apache ancestry. She was actively involved in the student movement in the late sixties\, where students\, along with their parents\, marched and demanded that their community be part of all the higher education systems\, which at the time were overwhelmingly white. She became deeply involved with the Los Siete organization in San Francisco due to the awareness she gained in the Vacaville prison project at UCB. She left UCB to devote herself full-time to be in solidarity with all the diverse communities in San Francisco. In 1972\, she became one of the first Chicanas to visit the People’s Republic of China through the Chinese Friendship Association. Eventually\, returning to her home in Union City\, still guided by social and Earth Justice movements\, she went on to get her master’s and has now served as a community college counselor for over 25 years and developed her own one-woman storytelling show\, Chicana Herstory. She continues to be involved in her community against gentrification and environmental pollution and is co-founder of Families United for Equity\, which advocates for the developmental disabled community. \nAbout the Living Writers Series\nThe Living Writers Series (LWS) is a live reading series organized especially for the Creative Writing Program community at UCSC. There is a new series each quarter\, and each series features writers with unique voices. The LWS is open to all creative writing students and the public. \n\nSponsored by the Porter Hitchcock Poetry Fund\, the Laurie Sain Endowment\, the Humanities Institute\, The Literature Department\, Creative Writing Program\, and the Center for Racial Justice.

SUMMARY:The Deppe Memorial Lecture with Professor Dan-El Padilla Peralta
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Classical Studies Program presents The Deppe Memorial Lecture\, taking place Friday\, May 16th at the Cowell Provost house at 4:00pm (reception to follow). \nProfessor Dan-El Padilla Peralta (Princeton University) will be giving a talk titled “The Bringer of Fire: Prometheus in Santo Domingo.” \nThis lecture will examine the Prometeo of the Dominican poet\, playwright\, and novelist Héctor Incháustegui Cabral (1912-1979). Published together with adaptations of Sophocles’s Philotectes and Euripides’s Hippolytus in 1964\, Cabral’s take on Aeschylus is an underappreciated turning-point in Dominican and Caribbean experiments with Greek tragedy — and an effective springboard for critical reflection on the cross-hatching of race\, politics\, and classical reception in the 20th- and 21st-century Black Aegean. \nAll are welcome to attend this event. We hope to see you there!
