SUMMARY:PhD+: Coding for Humanists
DESCRIPTION:Part of the PhD+ Workshop Series\, Sponsored by the IHR \nInterested in coding\, but not sure where to start? Fabiola Hanna\, a new media artist and PhD Candidate in the department of Film and Digital Media\, will walk us through the basics of coding for the web. We will explore HTML\, CSS\, and (time permitting) Java Script by remixing existing website code. Think deconstruction as a way of learning how websites are built and how code processes work. This introduction will not make you into expert coders – but it will provide you with insight into coding that you can apply to customize existing sites and work within easy-to-use platforms (like WordPress\, Drupal). You will also gain an understanding of next steps so you can continue developing your coding skills. \nJoin us for this introductory workshop. No previous experience with coding necessary.\nBe sure to bring a LAPTOP (not a tablet). Before the workshop: Download the Firefox Browser. \n\n  \nPhD+ Workshop Series\nPlease join us for the launch of PhD+\, our new series! We will meet monthly\, over lunch\, to discuss possible career paths for humanities PhDs\, online identity issues\, internship possibilities\, work/life balance\, elements of style\, grants/fellowships and much\, more more. \nOctober 9\, 2015: Alternative Academia Panel\nNovember 6\, 2015: Internship Info Session\nDecember 4\, 2015:  Coding for Humanists\nJanuary 8\, 2016: Research Tools and Methods\nFebruary 5\, 2016: Online Identity\nMarch 4\, 2016: Work-Life Balance\nApril 8\, 2016: Writing and Publishing in the Humanities\nMay 13\, 2016: Research and Grants\nJune 3\, 2016: End of Year Luncheon\nLoading…

SUMMARY:Questions that Matter: Making The Cosmos Local
DESCRIPTION:MAKING THE COSMOS LOCAL \nFor millennia\, people across the globe have searched the sky for answers. They have imagined and reimagined the cosmos\, from an infinite and eternal backdrop full of other worlds\, to a young Earth encircled by nearby planets and crystal spheres of stars. What is the relation between our lives here on Earth and the wider realm of nearby planets\, distant stars\, unfathomably faraway galaxies\, and a potentially infinite universe—or swarm of universes? Where do we find\, or create\, meaning in such a picture? \nQuestions That Matter is a series of public dialogues presented by the Institute for Humanities Research. This series brings together UC Santa Cruz scholars with community residents to explore questions that matter to all of us. We invite you to join us on Jan 27\, 2015 for the series launch at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center. \nFeaturing: Minghui Hu (History) and Anthony Aguirre (Physics). Facilitated by: Nathaniel Deutsch (IHR Director) \nPlease join us for an evening of conversation and connection as we bring these questions down to earth and make the cosmos local. \nBuy Tickets \n  \nTuesday\, January 27\, 2015\n6pm wine and hors d’ oeuvres * 7pm program starts\nKuumbwa Jazz Center \nSeating is limited. Tickets are $10 (includes service charges and one complimentary drink). \nQuestions: ihr@ucsc.edu or 831-459-5655 \nBackground readings available at Bookshop Santa Cruz\, including The View from the Center of the Universe by Joel Primack and Nancy Abrams. \n  \n\n  \nBios: \n Anthony Aguirre\, Professor of physics at UC Santa Cruz\, studies the formation\, nature\, and evolution of the universe\, focusing primarily on the model of eternal inflation—the idea that inflation goes on forever in some regions of universe—and what it may mean for the ultimate beginning of the universe and time. He is the co-founder and associate scientific director of the Foundational Questions Institute\, which supports research on questions at the foundations and new frontiers of physics and cosmology. Learn more at www.anthony-aguirre.com. \n Minghui Hu is an Associate Professor of History at UC Santa Cruz and his research focuses on the intellectual history of early modern China. His monograph “China’s Transition to Modernity: The Classical Vision of Dai Zhen” will be published by the University of Washington Press in 2015. He has organized an international conference “Cosmopolitanism in China\, 1600-1950” at UCSC. The multi-authored book\, drawn from this conference\, will be published under the same tile by Cambria Press in 2015. He is currently working on a new monograph tentatively called “Becoming a Communist: Qu Qiubai and the Formation of Chinese Communist Party.” \n  \n Nathaniel Deutsch is a Professor in the Department of History at UC Santa Cruz\, where he is also the Co-Director of the Center for Jewish Studies and the Director of the Institute for Humanities Research. \n\n  \nSponsors: \n   \n  \n  \nUC Santa Cruz Celebrating 50 Years of Being Truly Original. This is a place like no other. It was imagined from the minds of original thinkers—the rebels and visionaries\, artists\, scientists\, and poets who had the courage to strike off on a different path in search of ideas that question norms in hopes of making the world a better place. Let’s celebrate 50 amazing years. Visit 50years.ucsc.edu and see what we are planning. \nQuestions that Matter is a public humanities series developed by UCSC Institute for Humanities Research (IHR) and the community of Santa Cruz. It will bring together in conversation two or more UC Santa Cruz scholars with community residents and students to explore questions that matter to all of us. The series is a part of a strategic initiative of the IHR to champion the role and value of the humanities in contemporary life. At the University of California Santa Cruz\, we understand that the humanities are a crucial element of any first-rate liberal arts education. Indeed\, what distinguishes the best universities in the United States is the fact that the humanities are an integral part of their core curriculum\, along with the arts and sciences. The series is designed as a lecture and conversation\, with plenty of time built in for participant questions and answers. The series will be in partnership with Bookshop Santa Cruz\, the Santa Cruz Public Libraries\, and the Kuumbwa Jazz Center.

SUMMARY:Integrative Graduate Humanities Education and Research Training (IGHERT) Workshop
DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz’s Institute for Humanities Research is one of four CHCI member centers and institutes that will lead the research through 2017 on one of the pilot projects\, Integrative Graduate Humanities Research Education and Training (IGHERT).  The project brings together faculty\, doctoral students\, and post-doctoral scholars in a series of structured collaborations to undertake jointly mentored\, international research. The four partners are the Institute for Humanities Research\, University of California\, Santa Cruz; Center for 21st Century Studies\, The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture\, Justus Liebig University in Giessen; and Humanities Research Centre\, Australian National University\, Canberra. Focusing on the interdisciplinary theme of indigeneity\, together they will engage graduate students in a series of collaborative training and research activities and will test\, refine\, and assess a scalable model of skill training and digital archiving that can be applied in multiple contexts and to multiple themes. \nIGHERT further aims to attune the participants to the larger public contexts in which expert knowledge in the humanities is meaningful and to equip them with the written and oral skills necessary to communicate with these public constituencies more effectively. Students from Ph.D. programs in UC Santa Cruz’s Division of Humanities will be selected to participate in a series of themed meetings and workshops in Santa Cruz\, Milwaukee\, Canberra\, and Giessen\, as well as to receive on-going mentoring from both local and partner faculty participants over the period of the project.  In collaboration with the Division of Graduate Studies\, the IGHERT pilot will provide fellowship and project travel support for our student participants. \nClick here for more info \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Morris Ratner: "A Monument Man in the Courtroom: Litigating the Holocaust"
DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz will present a lecture by UC Hastings College of the Law Professor Morris Ratner titled “A Monument Man in the Courtroom: Litigating the Holocaust\,” on Monday\, April 7\, at 7 p.m.\, at UCSC’s University Center. \nProfessor Morris Ratner successfully prosecuted Holocaust-era private law claims against Swiss\, German\, Austrian\, and French entities that profited from Nazi atrocities by retaining dormant bank accounts\, failing to pay on life insurance policies\, and benefitting from the use of slave labor. Ratner’s litigation resulted in a series of settlements that\, together\, yielded payments in excess of $8 billion to victims of Nazi persecution. Using Holocaust litigation as a lens\, this lecture explores the topics of “what ‘justice’ means for victims of major atrocities like the Holocaust\, the role of private litigation in advancing social causes\, and the ability of individual advocates to prevail on behalf of victims in seemingly lost causes.” Ratner’s discussion of “social justice lawyering” also addresses the question: “Did it matter whether the lawyers in the Holocaust cases were–like the victims–Jewish\, Gay\, or Romani?” \nWatch the Video\n\nMorris Ratner joined the UC Hastings Faculty in 2012\, after teaching at Harvard Law School. An expert in civil procedure\, legal ethics\, and law practice management\, Ratner’s research explores ethical\, procedural\, and organizational questions that arise in multi-party actions\, including class actions and multidistrict litigations. Ratner worked as a litigator at the San Francisco-based plaintiffs’ firm Lieff\, Cabraser\, Heimann & Bernstein\, LLP\, where he was a partner for 10 years. During that time he prosecuted product liability\, mass personal injury\, consumer\, and human rights actions. \nPlease join us for this inaugural lecture in the Hastings Social Justice Speakers Series given by Hastings faculty at UCSC. The Series is a product of the UCSC-Hastings collaboration that also features the “3+3 BA/JD” Program which enables UCSC students to complete the BA and JD degrees in six\, rather than the usual seven\, years by attending both UCSC and Hastings College of the Law. \nAdmission is free and the public is invited\, with pre-registration encouraged to ensure a seat in the event of a sold out event. \nQuestions: Please call Kristin Palma at 831.459.5075\, or e-mail kpalma@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:Grant McGuire: "Separating voice prototypicality and stereotypicality"
DESCRIPTION:Current theories of speech perception emphasize the demonstrated role of direct experience in voice processing where greater experience with a voice or voice type results in various processing advantages. This talk describes early results from a project examining the role of stereotypes\, or more abstracted representations not necessarily based in direct experience\, in the processing of voices. Specifically\, we will detail the role various voice types play in phonetic accommodation\, the phenomenon where a talker adapts properties of another talker’s voice. \nGrant McGuire is an Assistant Professor of Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz and recipient of an IHR Faculty Fellowship (2012-13). His primary research interest is in speech perception. He received his PhD in Linguistics from Ohio State University (Phonetic Category Learning\, 2007) and has published research articles on perceptual learning in adults and infants\, audio-visual speech perception\, and gender effects on speech perception.
