SUMMARY:PhD+: Mentorship
DESCRIPTION:Mentorship Managed Up: cultivating successful professional relationships within\, alongside\, and outside the academy\n\nThis PhD+ session is being presented in coordination with members of the NEH Next Generation Humanities PhD Planning Grant Committee. Please join faculty\, administration\, and graduate students in a facilitated discussion and share your thoughts about how to foster and maintain successful mentorship relationships in humanities graduate programs. We’ll open with brief introductory comments before moving into a moderated panel discussion addressing:\n\nthe benefits and challenges associated with establishing a mentor/mentee relationship with different types of individuals who may serve in the mentor role\, e.g.\, faculty advisers (intra- and inter-department)\, non-academic professionals\, peer graduate student mentors\, etc\nthe goals of a mentor/mentee relationship\, discussing achievable milestones or benchmarks\, and setting corresponding expectation\nthe processes for “managing up” in a mentor/mentee relationship in terms of navigating successful accomplishment of the expected milestones and how to resolve conflict\, overcome obstacles or inertia\, etc.\n\n\nEach question will be followed by a brief response from the panelists meant to generate a larger discussion including the members of the audience.  The Planning Committee hopes to use the feedback and discussion to inform its strategic proposals for further discussion\, development\, and possible implementation to better serve the UCSC humanities community.\n  \nPhD+ Workshop Series \nPlease join us for the second year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:PhD+: Humanities Townhall to Discuss Graduate Education for Graduate Students and Faculty
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, the NEH awarded UCSC a Next Generation Humanities PhD Planning Grant to help support the campus in instituting wide-ranging changes in its humanities doctoral programs. As such a process process will ultimately affect everyone in the Humanities division\, the grant participants would like to invite Humanities affiliates to a town-hall style forum for a short presentation about our NEH grant\, as well as to provide an opportunity in which to share ideas\, thoughts\, and concerns about the state\, and future of\, humanities graduate education at UCSC–and in general. We hope to integrate the feedback we receive into the strategies that each of our working groups are in the process of developing in order to better serve the UCSC humanities community. After a short introduction about the grant\, an informal panel discussion will provide some groundwork for a larger\, audience-based conservation regarding topics such as community building within/among graduate students and faculty\, skills development opportunities for humanities students\, and understanding/defining expectations for mentor/mentee relationships.  As part of our town hall discussion\, we provide a modest and optional selection of articles from the Chronicle of Higher Education as background reading for those who would like to participate. \nPlease RSVP below. Lunch will be served. \nPhD+ Workshop Series\nPlease join us for the second year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Philosophy@Work: Entrepreneurship and Data Analysis in Educational Consulting and Applied Ethics
DESCRIPTION:Philosophy@Work: Entrepreneurship and Data Analysis in Educational Consulting and Applied Ethics \nAre you interested in learning more about how graduate training in the humanities can lead to successful and intellectually stimulating careers in consulting? Consulting is an expansive and evolving field\, one that many values-driven PhDs are currently shaping by challenging organizational tenets based on profit-motive. PhD alumni in Philosophy Ben Roome and Jake Metcalf discuss how their doctorates prepared them to become independent and influential consultant-scholars in the fields of data analysis and management\, (educational) technology\, and applied ethics. They’ll also address the ways in which their experiences as UCSC PhDs continue to influence the type of work they accept\, seek out\, and perform\, and how such decisions influence their career trajectories in general. Jacob (Jake) Metcalf is a consultant and independent scholar specializing in data and technology ethics. Ben Roome is an entrepreneur\, an ed tech and data ethics consultant\, a researcher and data analyst. \n  \nLunch will be served\, as always. \n  \nPhD+ Workshop Series\nPlease join us for the second year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by the Institute for Humanities Research.

SUMMARY:Engaging Precarity: A Seminar with Marcel Paret
DESCRIPTION:Inaugurating Session II of Non-citizenship\, UC Santa Cruz’s 2016-17 Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture\, labor scholar Marcel Paret of the University of Utah and University of Johannesburg leads a seminar on Guy Standing’s concept of the precariat. Professor Standing of the School of Oriental and African Studies takes part in a half-day symposium on labor mobility and precarity with Alejandro Grimson of Universidad Nacional de San Martín in Buenos Aires and Biao Xiang of the University of Oxford on Tuesday\, February 7\, 2017\, at the Merrill Cultural Center. \nSession II of Non-citizenship focuses on global labor mobility and rising precarity\, two concepts that highlight the broad and tiered spaces between citizen and non-citizen and their consequences. Linking labor mobility and precarity and holding them in dynamic tension is the notion of denizenship (residence without citizenship). Precarity—the experience of insecurity and constant risk of exclusion—is also central to the experience of many labor migrants and citizen-workers in our time. Today’s labor migrants are new denizens\, something short of full members. They are differentially incorporated into host societies that desire their labor\, but reject their presence. From Irish helots\, to Chinese “coolies\,” to Mexican Braceros\, to Silicon Valley’s high-tech guest workers\, mobile laborers with limited rights face new opportunities abroad\, along with new forms of vulnerability\, contingency\, and expendability. Meanwhile\, citizen-workers are exposed to new forms of labor precarity as social rights (for example\, education\, health care\, and retirement protection) and access to their benefits are increasingly privatized and made contingent. \n*Steve McKay\, Associate Professor of Sociology and director of the Center for Labor Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, will moderate the seminar with Professor Paret. \n  \n\nMarcel Paret is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Utah and Senior Research Associate with the South African Research Chair in Social Change at the University of Johannesburg. His research examines the politics of class formation and how they vary over time and across space. He is especially interested in globalization and marketization\, race and migration\, labor and social movements\, protest and community politics\, and the causes and consequences of precarity. He is the author of numerous articles and editor of “Politics of Precarity: Critical Engagements with Guy Standing\,” a speical issue of Global Labor Journal (Vol. 7\, No. 2 [2016]). \nSteve McKay is an internationally renowned scholar of labor\, migration\, globalization\, and race; and author of the award-winning Satanic Mills or Silicon Islands: The Politics of High-tech Production in the Philippines (Cornell University/ILR Press\, 2006) and co-editor with Sukanya Bannerjee and Aims McGuinness of New Routes for Diaspora Studies (Indiana University Press\, 2012). He is the principal investigator of Working for Dignity\, a project on low-wage labor in Santa Cruz County\, and is now working on a study of the affordable housing crisis in Santa Cruz County. In addition to serving on the CLRC Steering Committee\, he directs the Center for Labor Studies and is also a co-principal investigator of Non-citizenship. \n  \n\nPlease make sure to register here by Monday November 21\,2016.  \nAttendees are also asked to read the following essays prior to the seminar: \nGuy Standing\, “Denizens and the Precariat\,” in A Precariat Charter:  From Denizens to Citizens (London:  Bloomsbury Academic\, 2014)\, 1-32. \nMarcel Paret\, “Politics of Solidarity and Agency in an Age of Precarity\,” Global Labor Journal Vol. 7\, No. 2 (2016): 174-188. \nJudith Butler\, “Performativity\, Precarity and Sexual Politics\,” AIBR Vol. 4\, No. 3 (2009): 1-13.
