SUMMARY:Prof and a Pint: Death on the Nile - A 3D Visit to Egypt's Most Enduring Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:The ancient Egyptian necropolis of Saqqara was the burial place of kings\, queens\, priests\, and elite officials for 2500 years (3000-332 BCE)\, and boasts some of the most spectacular architecture and art from the Pharoanic Period. In this talk\, we’ll make a virtual visit to the site\, using a 3D model that digitally ‘reconstructs’ the original appearance of the ancient monuments\, and explore how royal and elite Egyptians created a special landscape to guarantee their eternal life and power. \n \nElaine Sullivan (M.A. and Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University) is an Associate Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Sullivan is an Egyptologist and a Digital Humanist whose work focuses on applying new technologies to ancient cultural materials. Her archaeological work in Egypt includes five seasons of excavation with Johns Hopkins University at the temple of the goddess Mut (Luxor)\, as well as four seasons in the field with a joint UCLA-Rijksuniversiteit Groningen project in the Egyptian Fayum\, at the Greco-Roman town of Karanis. \nHer upcoming born-digital publication\, Constructing the Sacred (Stanford University Press)\, utilizes a geo-temporal 3D model of the necropolis of Saqqara (near modern Cairo) to investigate questions of ritual landscape at the site. In 2007-2008\, she served as project coordinator for the Digital Karnak Project\, creating a multi-phased 3D virtual reality model of the famous ancient Egyptian temple complex of Karnak. Sullivan has published extensively on the use of digital technologies for research and scholarship\, including recent articles in the Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory\, the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians\, and the Bulletin for the Institute of Classical Studies. \nIn October 2020\, Professor Sullivan will lead a 12 day small-group expedition to some of her favorite research sites in Egypt.

SUMMARY:Sean Keilen: Reading Hamlet Now
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare’s works are rightly famous for their lifelikeness and insights into human affairs. What can they show us about our circumstances now\, in a world where truth is inscrutable\, social and political institutions are in decline\, and we seem to relish conflict more than peace? This lecture will explore that question in the context of Hamlet\, looking specifically at the way that Shakespeare presents reading\, education\, and the theater as resources for self-development and setting the world right. The lecture does not assume any prior knowledge of Shakespeare\, but reading or watching Hamlet beforehand will make for a livelier discussion. \n  \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nSean Keilen is Professor of Literature and Provost of Porter College at UC Santa Cruz\, where he directs Shakespeare Workshop\, a research center of The Humanities Institute that uses Shakespeare’s writing to bring the campus and the community together in conversation about topics of shared concern. He studies Shakespeare and the history of criticism\, and is the author or editor of books and essays about early British literature and the classical tradition in England. He was educated at Williams College\, Cambridge\, and Stanford University. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Halloween Lecture "The Vampire in Love" (with costume contest)
DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by the UCSC Prof and a Pint Lecture Series  \nOh yeah\, there will be a costume contest! And there will be prizes! If you want to compete please gather on the stage at 6:15pm. The lecture will start at 6:30pm as usual. \nFrom the beginning of the earliest English-language vampire narrative in the early nineteenth century\, the vampire has been a figure of both fear and desire\, often represented through the vampire’s longings and the range of social responses they inspire. This talk considers several different examples of “the vampire in love” in order to explore what the vampire might tell us about our most pressing social\, cultural\, and political concerns across the twentieth and early-twenty-first centuries. \nKimberly Lau is Professor of Literature at UC Santa Cruz where she teaches courses on contemporary fiction\, vampire narratives\, fairy tales\, and digital culture in relation to feminist and critical race theories. She has published a number of books and articles on a range of topics\, including most recently “Erotic Infidelities: Love and Enchantment in Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber” (2015).

SUMMARY:Prof and A Pint- The 1930s: The Past of Our Present?
DESCRIPTION:Marc Matera challenges this image of the decade and draws different lessons for our time by considering the 1930s through examples in which global connections and international organization reached new levels on many fronts\, from struggles for colonial and racial freedom to the spread of populist authoritarianism. \nComparisons between 1930s and our contemporary moment are everywhere. These comparisons rely on a view of the 1930s as a period of retrenchment behind the security of national borders and economic protectionism and a retreat to xenophobic nationalism following decades of globalization and internationalism. \nMarc Matera is Associate Professor and Graduate Program Director in History at UCSC. His numerous publications include three books: “The Global 1930s: The International Decade\,” “Black London: The Imperial Metropolis and Decolonization in the 20th Century\,” and ‘The Women’s War of 1929: Gender and Violence in Colonial Nigeria.” Professor Matera received his B.A. from the University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill\, his M.A from the University of Colorado\, Boulder\, and his Ph.D.\, from Rutgers University\, New Brunswick\, NJ. \n  \n \n  \nA Prof and A Pint\, a monthly series of informal discussions\, served over dinner and drinks\, at Forager Tasting Room and Eatery. Brought to you by UC Santa Cruz Alumni\, and helping to celebrate 2018 as the Year of Alumni\, each talk will engage a UC Santa Cruz faculty member or grad student in discussion with you\, the local community of Silicon Valley. Talks are held on the 2nd Monday of each month. Topics include everything from organic artichokes to endangered zebras. Self-driving cars to Shakespeare. Audience participation is encouraged. Enjoy a great meal and learn something while you eat! \nEntry is free\, but please consider ordering some food and drinks to support *Forager\, our host. Current students and alumni\, we encourage you to invite your friends\, whether they are Banana Slugs or not\, to be a part of the discussion.

SUMMARY:Prof and a Pint: "Polarization and Public Discourse: How We Got Here and What We Do Now"
DESCRIPTION:Political discourse in the United States is devolving. From social media to Washington D.C. closed-mindedness\, confirmation bias\, and agenda-driven reasoning are undermining the possibility for constructive dialogue. Where do these destructive tendencies come from? Are they the result of a person’s upbringing\, or intelligence\, or education? A matter of their character? Our research is beginning to provide answers to these questions\, and these answers have profound\, sometimes surprising\, implications for the future of our country. \nPlease join us for a presentation and conversation to learn how the Center for Public Philosophy at UC Santa Cruz is fostering more thoughtful and engaged communities of thinkers\, doers\, and change-makers by using philosophy and cognitive science to teach us all—especially the next generations—how to think and talk to one another differently. \nThe Center for Public Philosophy is a research center within The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. Please RSVP \n \n  \nJon Ellis is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at UC Santa Cruz and founding director of the Center for Public Philosophy. His current research is on motivated reasoning (cognitive dissonance\, rationalization\, self-deception\, etc.) and\, in particular\, on the role it plays in especially intelligent\, reflective\, and sincere thinkers. He teaches a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate level courses at UC Santa Cruz\, and has published on a broad range of topics including perception\, language\, color\, skepticism\, interpretation\, and rationalization. He received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from UC Berkeley in 2002. \nJuan Ruiz earned degrees in Philosophy and Critical Race & Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz in 2017\, and is currently a master’s degree student in the Philosophy Department. He has been an active High School Ethics Bowl coach for under-served schools in Watsonville\, San Jose\, and Santa Cruz\, CA. Ruiz co-authored the AB540 Student Emergency Fund\, an addendum to CA AB540 Non-Resident Tuition Fee Waiver\, which allocates $300\,000 of unrestricted emergency funds for undocumented students on the UC Santa Cruz campus; and co-founded UCSC’s Minorities and Philosophy chapter. Ruiz received the Chancellor’s Achievement Award for Diversity as a result of furthering diversity\, inclusion\, and excellence at UC Santa Cruz. \nClick here for more information about the UCSC “Prof and  Pint” Lecture Series \n

SUMMARY:Prof and a Pint: "Dickens and the Struggles of Marriage"
DESCRIPTION:Charles Dickens is known for his marriage plots: no matter what kinds of twists and turns threaten the path of true love\, in the end David Copperfield gets his Agnes\, Esther Summerson gets her Woodcourt\, and John Harmon gets his Bella. But was marriage really a happy ending for the women in Dickens’s novels? What happened after the novels ended and the romantic triumph of successfully surviving a 900-page plot began to fade? This talk will trace the pitfalls of getting married in Victorian Britain—the financial threats to women\, the uneven standards for husbands and wives\, the legal ways marriage compromised individual identity—and will look at how a few famously salacious marital scandals (including Dickens’s own!) succeeded in transforming both law and literature in the 19th century. \n \nRenée Fox is an assistant professor in the Literature department at UC Santa Cruz\, where she teaches classes on Victorian literature and culture\, Irish literature\, gothic fiction\, and Harry Potter. She is currently writing a book about reanimated bodies in 19th-century British and Irish literature—like mummies\, vampires\, and talking corpses—and is co-editing a Routledge Handbook of Irish Studies. She received her BA from Stanford and her Ph.D. from Princeton\, and after a few years teaching in the English department at the University of Miami she is thrilled to be back in California at UCSC. \nRenée co-directs The Dickens Project\, a multi-campus research consortium headquartered at UC Santa Cruz that consists of nearly 50 participating universities from the US and overseas. The Dickens Project engages in and promotes research and graduate student training in Victorian literature and culture\, focusing its energies not only on the production of new knowledge about the 19th century but also on the ways this scholarly work can be meaningful\, exciting\, and useful to wider\, non-academic audiences. Every summer The Dickens Project hosts the Dickens Universe\, a week-long conference on the UC Santa Cruz campus in which faculty\, graduate students\, and members of the general public gather together to discuss one novel by Charles Dickens. The Universe is part scholarly conference\, part book club\, part summer camp\, and part Victorian festival: days are filled with lectures\, discussion seminars\, Victorian teas\, and Victorian dance lessons\, while evenings include movie screenings\, parties\, performances\, and one final Victorian ball (costumes optional). More information about The Dickens Project can be found at https://dickens.ucsc.edu/index.html. \nProf and A Pint\, An Alumni Council Silicon Valley Lecture: \nPlease join us for A Prof and A Pint\, a monthly series of informal discussions\, served over dinner and drinks\, at Forager Tasting Room and Eatery.

SUMMARY:Ben Breen\, When Drugs Became Global: Technologies of Intoxication in the Enlightenment
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of the seventeenth eighteenth centuries\, psychoactive substances from opiates to cannabis to coffee underwent rapid globalization. Enlightenment thinkers were by no means immune to the allure of these novel drugs. Scientists and physicians tried to discover the “occult virtues” of these drugs through an array of experimental methods\, including testing them on themselves. This talk explores how the globalization of drugs in the eighteenth century influenced Enlightenment-era science\, commerce\, and technology. It does so through three case studies: Jesuits observing ayahuasca ceremonies in South America\, East India Company merchants sampling cannabis in South Asia\, and the strange story of the invention of nitrous oxide.\n \nEvent Photos: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n\nAn alumni Council Silicon Valley Lecture \n
