SUMMARY:Amitav Ghosh: "Unmuting the Brutes: Human and Non-human After the Collapse of ‘Civilization’"
DESCRIPTION:CREDITLINE PHOTO: Ivo van der Bent. 22-01-2019 Amitav Ghosh in Amsterdam.\nThe Humanities Institute and the Center for Creative Ecologies present Beyond the End of the World Lecture Series \nAMITAV GHOSH \nThursday\, February 27\, 2020 @ 7 PM\nMusic Recital Hall\, UC Santa Cruz\nFree & open to the public with registration\nBook signing after the talk\, hosted by Bookshop Santa Cruz \n \n  \n  \nThe idea of the ‘human’ dates back to the founding of modernity\, now hurtling towards collapse. As this process intensifies it may bring about a fundamental reconsideration of modern ideas regarding which entities possess such attributes as agency\, speech\, and reason.

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. In 2018 he became the first English-language writer to receive India’s highest literary honor\, the Jnanpith Award. His most recent publication is Gun Island\, a novel. \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. 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 \nPresented in partnership with the Sidhartha Maitra Memorial Lecture. The Maitra lecture series\, established in 2001\, seeks to enrich the intellectual life of UC Santa Cruz and the Santa Cruz community. \nCo-sponsored by the Center for South Asian Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \nDirections and Parking:\nThe UCSC Music Recital Hall is located at 402 McHenry Rd\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95064\nParking lot attendants will be on site to sell permits and direct guests to available parking in the Performing Arts parking lot #126.

SUMMARY:Kimberlé Crenshaw: 34th Annual Martin Luther King Jr Memorial Convocation
DESCRIPTION:The annual convocation celebrates the life and dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by presenting speakers who discuss the civil rights issues of equality\, freedom\, justice\, and opportunity. The convocation also seeks to build partnerships and develop dialogue within the campus community and with the local communities served by the university. \nSpeaker: Kimberlé Crenshaw\nProfessor of law at UCLA and Columbia Law School\, leading authority on civil rights\, black feminist legal theory\, and race\, racism\, and the law.\n \nHarriet’s Legacy: Navigating Intersectionality in the Age of Trump \nPositioned at the crossroads of race and gender\, women and girls of color face unique barriers under the burdens of both sexism and racism. This is especially true in the wake of the 2016 election\, as discrimination\, racialized hate speech and gendered violence have been normalized and\, seemingly encouraged\, by the White House. As we enter the 2nd year under the current administration\, we must reflect back not only on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\, but of the Black women who\, although often misremembered or outright forgotten\, fought for civil rights and equality throughout history. In this lecture\, Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw will utilize a historical analysis with an intersectional lens to expose the impact of institutional oppression within marginalized communities’ configured networks between identities\, i.e. race\, gender\, and socioeconomic status\, a reflect on the contemporary legacy of social justice and the continued struggle for equality in the United States. \nRead More
