SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Kuumbwa Jazz & Indexical Present: Moor Mother & Las Sucias
DESCRIPTION:Camae Ayewa (Moor Mother) is a nationally- and internationally-touring musician\, poet\, visual artist\, and workshop facilitator\, and has performed at numerous festivals\, colleges\, galleries\, and museums around the world\, sharing the stage with King Britt\, Roscoe Mitchell\, Claudia Rankine\, bell hooks\, and more. Her most recent album\, Analog Fluids of Sonic Black Holes\, is the culmination of all of her earthly experiences merged with all of her cosmic ones. On Analog Fluids\, haunting slave narratives are presented as dystopian allegory and negro spirituals are flipped\, remixed\, and recaptured\, only to be digitized into a symbiotic bio-morph program for the post-thumb drive age. It’s a record rich with the noise and chaos that affirm Moor Mother’s punk roots\, yet it is also anchored in earthiness via the constant injection of Black ritual\, poetry\, and drums programmed to vibrate through the listener’s mitochondria. \nLas Sucias is a duo formed by Danishta Rivero and Alexandra Buschman\, mixing anti-patriarchal riotgrrrl lyrics\, Afro-Caribbean rhythms\, brujería noise and possessed vocals. Each performance is a ritual that combines all of the senses and elevates into a higher realm\, inspiring the listener to dance\, speak in tongues\, laugh hysterically\, and get possessed by the spirits awoken. \nTICKETS & MORE INFO \nThe event will start with a discussion with Ayewa about Black Quantum Futurism\, her collaborative Afrofuturist project with author Rasheedah Phillips of Afrofuturist Affair. \nMoor Mother Website\nLas Sucias Website\nIndexical Website \nSupported in part by the Humanities Institute\, the Institute for Arts and Sciences\, the Center for Creative Ecologies\, and the Beyond the End of the World symposium at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Nick Estes and Melanie Yazzie: Beyond the End of the World Sawyer Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:The Humanities Institute and the Center for Creative Ecologies present Beyond the End of the World Lecture Series \nNick Estes is a citizen of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe. He is an Assistant Professor in the American Studies Department at the University of New Mexico. In 2014\, he co-founded The Red Nation\, an Indigenous resistance organization. For 2017-2018\, Estes was the American Democracy Fellow at the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History at Harvard University. His research engages colonialism and global Indigenous histories\, with a focus on decolonization\, oral history\, U.S. imperialism\, environmental justice\, anti-capitalism\, and the Oceti Sakowin. Estes is the author of the book Our History Is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota Access Pipeline\, and the Long Tradition of Indigenous Resistance (Verso\, 2019)\, which places into historical context the Indigenous-led movement to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline. He edited with Jaskiran Dhillon the volume Standing with Standing Rock: Voices from the #NoDAPL Movement (University of Minnesota\, 2019)\, which draws together more than thirty contributors\, including leaders\, scholars\, and activists of the Standing Rock movement. \nMelanie K. Yazzie (Bilagáana/Diné) holds a Ph.D. in American Studies from the University of New Mexico\, and is is Assistant Professor in the Department of Native American Studies and the Department of American Studies\, University of New Mexico.

Her first book\, Life in The Age of Extraction: Diné History in A Biopolitical Register\, shows how biopolitical calculations of Navajo life that accompanied the introduction of extractive economies in the 1930s have become a full-scale biopolitical epoch defined by violent relations of extraction. With Nick Estes\, she guest-edited a special issue of Wicazo Sa Review (June 2016) on the legacy of Dakota scholar Elizabeth Cook-Lynn\, one of the founders of Native American studies\, and co-edited a special issue of Decolonization: Indigeneity\, Education and Society with Cutcha Risling-Baldy on Indigenous water politics (2018). \nBeyond the End of the World comprises a year-long research and exhibition project and public lecture series\, directed by T. J. Demos of UCSC’s Center for Creative Ecologies. The project brings leading international thinkers and cultural practitioners to UC Santa Cruz to discuss what lies beyond dystopian catastrophism\, and asks how we can cultivate radical futures of social justice and ecological flourishing.

SUMMARY:Postponed - We Are Not Aliens: Arthur Jafa\, Martine Syms\, and Afro-Futurism 2.0 Exhibition at the Sesnon Gallery
DESCRIPTION:We Are Not Aliens: Arthur Jafa\, Martine Syms\, and Afro-Futurism 2.0 assembles select artistic projects that investigate emancipatory futures of justice opposed to historical and contemporary racism\, socioeconomic inequality\, and state violence. It centers around Arthur Jafa’s startling and moving video “Love is the Message\, the Message is Death\,” which offers a short account of anti-black police brutality as well as speculative visions of African-American emancipation\, collective resistance\, and poetic love. The piece includes a short passage of artist Martine Syms delivering her “Mundane Afrofuturist Manifesto” in which she states “We are not aliens”—critically distancing herself from earlier formulations of Afro-futurism and making a powerful case for its contemporary reinvention. The show will reproduce her text as an artistic wall painting and also include an hour-long KCET video that explores the inspirational ideas behind the Manifesto\, which lays out visions of African-American creativity dedicated to the radical imagination of a coming world of liberation. \nThe exhibition forms part of Beyond the End of the World\, which comprises a year-long research and exhibition project and public lecture series\, directed by T. J. Demos of UCSC’s Center for Creative Ecologies. The project brings leading international thinkers and cultural practitioners to UC Santa Cruz to discuss what lies beyond dystopian catastrophism\, and asks how we can cultivate radical futures of social justice and ecological flourishing.

SUMMARY:Beyond the World’s End Exhibition at Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History
DESCRIPTION:In our current moment\, apocalyptic narratives are all around us. They tempt us with their catastrophic fatalism and seemingly inescapable dystopias. Against that danger\, it’s crucial to ask how we might imagine a more socially just and ecologically sustainable future? \nBut is the disaster ahead of us or behind us? Many people around the world–including Indigenous peoples and African-Americans surviving colonialism\, genocides\, and the transatlantic slave trade—consider themselves to be already living in a post-apocalyptic present. \nAddressing this complexity of connecting past\, present\, and future\, this exhibition features art and ideas from the end of the world. It invites us to reflect on the injustices that have brought us to our current moment and asks us to consider options for how to proceed. \nFrom a proposal for a Cross-Border Environmental Commons and time machines to queer indigenous hauntings and Afrofuturist montages\, the artworks in this exhibition draw out the intersectional roots of our crisis and seek to think through and visualize\, struggle against and overcome the social and environmental injustices we face. \nThis exhibition and its associated programming addresses competing urgencies and future threats that are a result of past and present injustices. It brings into focus various proposals for imagining emancipatory futures informed by cultivating worlds of justice and equality. \nThe exhibition is part of Beyond the End of the World which comprises a year-long research and exhibition project and public lecture series\, directed by T. J. Demos of UCSC’s Center for Creative Ecologies. The project brings leading international thinkers and cultural practitioners to UC Santa Cruz to discuss what lies beyond dystopian catastrophism\, and asks how we can cultivate radical futures of social justice and ecological flourishing. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture and administered by The Humanities Institute. For more information visit BEYOND.UCSC.EDU.

He is the author of two books of non-fiction\, including The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable (2016)\, a collection of essays\, and ten novels.

SUMMARY:Non-citizenship Fellows Forum with Emily Mitchell-Eaton\, Claudia Lopez\, and Tsering Wangmo
DESCRIPTION:  \nWith support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, the CLRC awarded two outstanding UC Santa Cruz graduate students year-long fellowships and hired a postdoctoral scholar as part of our 2016-17 Sawyer Seminar on non-citizenship. In this free\, public forum\, our three Mellon fellows will discuss their research and tell us a bit about what their awards allowed them to achieve and their plans for the future. \n  \n Geographies of Imperial Citizenship\nEmily Mitchell-Eaton\, Postdoctoral Scholar\, Chicano Latino Research Center \nThis talk addresses the modes of imperial citizenship and non-citizenship that have emerged for subjects of non-sovereign U.S. territories. An examination of the legal statuses held by these subjects reveals the margins of formal legal citizenship to be quite blurry. As imperial subjects attempt to cross U.S. borders\, pursue employment\, access public benefits and services\, and resist deportation\, these practices often result in precarious mobility and different forms of exclusion. Drawing on a case study of Marshall Islanders who have migrated to Arkansas\, Dr. Mitchell-Eaton explores how Marshallese immigrants’ unique legal status is produced through their encounters with three groups: law enforcement and legal actors; social service providers; and activists. \n  \nThe Life-Cycle of Forced Migration: Partial Citizenship and Internally Displaced Peasants in Medellín\, Colombia\nClaudia Lopez\, Ph.D. candidate\, Department of Sociology \nIn this presentation\, Claudia discusses the dynamics of internal and forced migration of rural peasant farmers\, focusing on their urban resettlement and integration into the city of Medellín\, Colombia. Using this case study of conflict-induced displacement in Colombia—which has the largest population of internally displaced persons in the world—her research brings new attention to internal and forced migration\, viewing the resulting displacement as a serial process that constitutes what she calls the life­cycle of forced migration. She draws from ethnographic interviews and surveys with rural internally displaced persons\, as well as interviews with representatives of government agencies and NGOs\, to argue that\, across the lifecycle\, the state marginalizes displaced peasants and does not consider them capable urban citizens due to their rural origin and inability to contribute through formal labor practices in the city\, thereby rendering them Partial Citizens. Ultimately\, Claudia contends that this research demonstrates the limits of integration and national citizenship\, offers a more nuanced lens for examining citizenship as a spectrum\, and prompts us to examine belonging beyond the binary categories of citizen/non-citizen and included/excluded. \n  \nBelonging in Exile: The Exclusionary Agenda of Unity\nTsering Wangmo\, Ph.D. candidate\, Department of Literature \nTsering Wangmo’s dissertation\, “From the Margins of Exile: Democracy and Dissent within the Tibetan Diaspora\,” juxtaposes the external struggle for international recognition of the Tibetan government-in-exile with the internal struggle to command Tibetan unity since the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1950. It presents a nuanced understanding of how the project of nation building within the conditions of exile must be seen as a constant negotiation between deference and dissent and between unity and difference. In her talk\, Tsering argues that unity was presented simultaneously as the moral and political responsibility of the modern Tibetan “refugee-citizen\,” as well as the traditional duty of a Tibetan Buddhist\, and that\, ultimately\, unity was an exclusionary discourse. \n  \nThis free\, public forum is co-sponsored by the Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research\, with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:The Fluidity of Status: Non-citizenship\, Deportation\, and Indentured Mobility: A Conversation with Tanya Golash-Boza and Rhacel Parreñas
DESCRIPTION:Event Photos: by Steve Kurtz\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nPresented by the Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research\nIn two Ted-style talks\, Tanya Golash-Boza (UC Merced) and Rhacel Parreñas (University of Southern California) help close UC Santa Cruz’s Andrew W. Mellon John E. Sawyer Seminar on non-citizenship by discussing what they see as some of the key issues framing debates around migration in our time: gender\, deportation\, incarceration\, slavery\, human trafficking\, structural violence\, and global apartheid. The evening begins with a reception at 6:30pm\, followed by presentations at 7:00pm and a Q&A moderated by Felicity Amaya Schaeffer (UC Santa Cruz). \n“Deported without Due Process: Ryan’s Story”\nTanya Golash-Boza\, Professor of Sociology\, University of California\, Merced \nSince 1996\, five million people have been deported from the United States – 98% of them Latin American and 90% men. Laws passed in 1996 made it easier to deport legal permanent residents\, even those eligible for citizenship. In immigration proceedings\, you have no right to legal representation. You can be detained without bond. You can be deported without a full hearing. In this talk\, Tanya Golash-Boza will explain how legal permanent residents can be deported from the United States with minimal or no due process. \n“The Unfree Labor of Migrant Domestic Workers”\nRhacel Parreñas\, Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies\, University of Southern California \nAcross the globe\, migrant domestic workers are unfree workers whose legal residency is contingent on their continued employment as live-in workers with a designated sponsor. Rhacel Parreñas’ talk gives a global overview of the exclusionary terms of their belonging. It then interrogates dominant theoretical frameworks for thinking about contemporary unfreedoms – slavery\, human trafficking and structural violence – and proposes the alternative concept of “indentured mobility\,” which sees migration as simultaneously constituting of financial mobility from a life of poverty in the sending society but at the cost of servitude vis-à-vis a sponsoring employer in the receiving society. The concept of indentured mobility foregrounds not only the severe structural constraints that limit the options of domestic workers but also their agentic negotiations for improving their work conditions and maximizing thepossible gains in their state of unfreedom. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, but attendees are kindly asked to register in advance. \n \nSpeakers \nTanya Golash-Boza is the author of five books\, including Deported: Immigrant Policing\, Disposable Labor and Global Capitalism (New York University Press\, 2015)\, which explains mass deportation in the context of the global economic crisis; Due Process Denied (Routledge\, 2012)\, which describes how and why non-citizens in the United States have been detained and deported for minor crimes\, without regard for constitutional limits on disproportionate punishment; and Immigration Nation (Paradigm\, 2012)\, which provides a critical analysis of the impact that US immigration policy has on human rights.  In addition\, she has published over a dozen articles in peer-reviewed journals on deportations\, racial identity\, and human rights and has written on contemporary issues for Al Jazeera\, The Boston Review\, The Nation\, Counterpunch\, The Houston Chronicle\, Racialicious\, The Chronicle of Higher Education\, and Dissident Voice. \nRhacel Parreñas‘ book\, Illicit Flirtations: Labor\, Migration and Sex Trafficking in Tokyo(Stanford University Press\, 2011)\, won the Distinguished Book Award in the Labor and Labor Movements Section of the American Sociological Association. Probing the intersections of human trafficking and labor migration\, her current research analyzes the constitution of unfree labor among migrant domestic workers in Dubai and Singapore. Her other books include Human Trafficking Reconsidered: Migration and Forced Labor (Open Society Institute\, 2014)\, The Force of Domesticity: Filipina Migrants and Globalization (New York University Press\, 2008)\, and Servants of Globalization: Migration and Domestic Work (second edition\, Stanford University Press\, 2015). Her current research focuses on the unfree labor of migrant contract workers in Asia and the Middle East. \nFelicity Amaya Schaeffer is Associate Professor of Feminist Studies and Co-principal Investigator of Non-citizenship\, UC Santa Cruz’s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Sawyer Seminar.  She is the author of Love and Empire:  Cybermarriage and Citizenship across the Americas (New York University Press\, 2013)\, an exploration of the relationship between global shifts and intimate circuits of desire\, love\, and marriage.  Her current research is on surveillance technologies and the sexual criminalization of migrant bodies on and beyond the US-Mexico border.  Other research interests include borderlands and transnationalisms; affect and capitalism; race\, technology\, and subjectivity; and Chicana and Latin American cultural studies. \n  \nThis free\, public event is co-sponsored by the Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research\, with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. \nAbout Non-citizenship\nNon-citizenship is part of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture. Linking citizenship\, migration\, border\, labor\, and carceral studies\, and juxtaposing spatial and social mobility and immobility\, this year-long series of events explores what it means to be a citizen and non-citizen in a world made by migrants\, refugees\, guest workers\, permanent residents\, asylum seekers\, slaves\, prisoners\, detainees\, the stateless\, and denizens (residents who do not hold the same rights as citizens). Non-citizenship is organized around three themes: “Forced Migration” (fall 2016)\, “Labor Mobility and Precarity” (winter 2017)\, and “Fluidity of Status” (spring 2017). Click here to learn more.

DESCRIPTION:The Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research present an event in the series on Non-citizenship\nHistorians and filmmakers Philip Misevich and Konrad Tuchscherer of St. John’s University join UC Santa Cruz’s David Anthony and Greg O’Malley in a conversation about forced migration at this free\, public screening of “Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels\,” 2016 winner of the American Historical Association’s John E. O’Connor Film Award. \nEVENT PHOTOS: by Allison Garcia\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nAbout the Film\nGhost of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels by Tony Buba is based on Marcus Rediker’s The Amistad Rebellion: An Atlantic Odyssey of Slavery and Freedom (Viking-Penguin\, 2012). It chronicles a trip to Sierra Leone in 2013 to visit the home villages of the people who seized the slave schooner Amistad in 1839\, to interview elders about local memory of the case\, and to search for the long-lost ruins of Lomboko\, the slave trading factory where their cruel transatlantic voyage began. The film uses the knowledge of villagers\, fishermen\, and truck drivers to recover a lost history from below in the struggle against slavery. \n“This film is an ambitious and imaginative attempt to explore the impact of the Amistad Mutiny and the repatriation of the brave Africans to their homes in Sierra Leone. It is of great interest to any student of slavery and the slave trade.” – Henry Louis Gates\, Jr.\, Harvard University \nLocation:\nDel Mar Theatre\, 1124 Pacific Avenue\, Santa Cruz\, CA \nEvent details:\nFilm at 7:00pm\nQ&A Discussion at 8:00pm \nGreg O’Malley\, Associate Professor of History at UC Santa Cruz\, moderates the Q&A with Professors Misevich and Tuchscherer immediately following the screening.

SUMMARY:Bridget Anderson: The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly: Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion (Non-citizenship series)
DESCRIPTION:The Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research present\nLeading labor and migration scholar\, Bridget Anderson\, for the inaugural event in a series of events on Non-citizenship\, our 2016-17 Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture.. \n \nBridget Anderson: The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly: Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion (Non-citizenship series) 10.6.16 from IHR on Vimeo \nEVENT PHOTOS: by Steve Kurtz\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nIn her keynote address\, “The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly:  Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion\,” Professor Anderson explores citizenship as both a legal status and moral claim. She examines what attention to debates about migration exposes about the nature of the “good citizen” and the rise of the worker citizen. Rather than seeing migrants and citizens as competitors for the privileges of membership\, she argues for the importance of politics that are attentive to the connections between the non-citizen migrant and the “failed citizen” on welfare or with a criminal record.  This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. \nSylvanna Falcón\, associate professor of Latin American and Latino Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, will facilitate the discussion following Professor Anderson’s remarks. \nPhoto exhibit Expulsion: Stories of Displacement from Colombia\, India\, Mexico and the United States\, co-curated by Claudia Maria Lopez\, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar Graduate Student Fellow. \nBridget Anderson is Professor of Migration and Citizenship and Deputy Director at the Centre on Migration\, Policy and Society at the University of Oxford. She is the author of numerous publications\, including Us and Them? The Dangerous Politics of Immigration Controls (Oxford University Press\, 2013) and Doing the Dirty Work? The Global Politics of Domestic Labour (Zed Books\, 2000). Exploring the tension between labor market flexibilities and citizenship rights\, she has pioneered an understanding of the functions of immigration in key labor market sectors. Her interest in labor demand has meant an engagement with debates about trafficking\, modern day slavery\, state enforcement\, and deportation. She is particularly concerned with the ways immigration controls increasingly impact citizens and migrants alike. \nLocation:\nSanta Cruz Museum of Art and History (705 Front Street\, Santa Cruz) \nEvent details:\nReception at 6:30pm / Lecture at 7:00pm \nAdmission:\nFree and open to the public\, but attendees are asked to register in advance. \nREGISTER HERE \nOther Events with Bridget Anderson\nFriday\, September 16\, 11:00am-1:00pm\, Charles E.
