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:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Susan O’Neal Stryker
DESCRIPTION:What Transpires Now: Transgender History and the Future We Need\nSusan O’Neal Stryker\, Associate Professor\, University of Arizona  \nHistory is a story we tell in the present that links what we know of the past to a future we envision. In this talk\, drawn from her forthcoming book of the same title\, gender theorist and historian Susan Stryker examines the trans-temporal dimensions of what gets labelled “transgender” today\, but which can be thought of as a more general capacity for life to exceed whatever current configurations it might have. At stake\, Stryker contends\, in vexing contemporary conflicts over pronouns and public toilets\, is a deeper ontological struggle over which fantasies of past and futurity have the ability to ground themselves in materiality and come to count as real. \n  \nSusan Stryker is Associate Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of Arizona\, where she spearheads the Transgender Studies Initiative. \n  \nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Spring 2017 Schedule:\nMay 4th: Doris Leibetseder\, “QT Reproduction: Queen and Transgender Use of Assisted Reproductive Technologies”\nMay 17th: Susan O’Neal Stryker\, “What Transpires Now: Transgender History and the Future We Need”\nJune 1st: Patricia de Santana Pinho\, “We Bring Home the Roots: African American Women Touring Brazil and Bearing their Nation”

SUMMARY:Debbora Battaglia: "Roots in Air: People/Plants/Ethics in Suspension"
DESCRIPTION:“Roots in Air: People/Plants/Ethics in Suspension” \nOut of the urban ruins and food deprivation of World War II came the prototype for growing plants aeroponically. Aeroponics has since taken surprising turns as a technology for anthropocenic conditions – in Global South laboratories; “vertical gardens”; art installations; plant biology experiments for colonizing the cosmos. In its wake\, questions open concerning the ethics of plant-people relations in future-making projects. \nDebbora Battaglia is Professor Emerita of Anthropology at Mt. Holyoke College. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided 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. We will meet monthly\, over lunch\, to discuss: possible career paths for PhDs\, internship possibilities\, grants/fellowships\, work/life balance\, elements of style\, online identity issues\, and much\, much more. \nPlease RSVP below.\nLoading…

SUMMARY:Common Front for the Right to Housing in Bucharest
DESCRIPTION:Comparative urban studies are on the rise\, raising new questions about translation\, fungibility\, and transit. How can we study the material effects of global capital in various urban spaces without conflating the spatial struggles and transformations of one space upon another? How can superimposing Western understandings of gentrification upon non-Western places impose onto-epistemological violence? This talk\, moderated by Feminist Studies doctoral candidate and Anti-Eviction Mapping Project cofounder Erin McElroy\, will feature Bucharest-based housing justice activist\, artist\, and scholar Veda Popovici. Veda will share more about the Bucharest’s direct action collective\, the Common Front for the Right to Housing\, as well as histories of postsocialist neoliberal housing restitution laws that have incited current Romanian spatial struggles. Erin and Veda will discuss a growing call to think both global capital formations and comparative urbanism in Romania through decolonial analytics.

SUMMARY:The Fluidity of Status: A Seminar with Tanya Golash-Boza & Rhacel Parreñas (Non-citizenship Series)
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on gender\, deportation\, and labor\, the third and final session of Non-citizenship\, UC Santa Cruz’s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture\, approaches citizenship\, denizenship\, and mobility as fluid statuses—as formal (in other words\, documented) positions that are in flux and as practices of belonging that morph as people of various statuses interact with each other. \nPlease join us for this free\, public seminar with Tanya Golash-Boza\, Professor of Sociology at UC Merced\, and Rhacel Parreñas\, Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at the University of Southern California.  To reserve your lunch and to access the pre-circulated readings\, please register here: \n \nFollowing the seminar\, Professors Golash-Boza and Parreñas will take part in The Fluidity of Status: Non-citizenship\, Deportation\, and Indentured Mobility\, a public conversation at the Museum of Art & History at 705 Front Street in downtown Santa Cruz.\n\n \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.\nThis seminar is co-sponsored by the Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research\, with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Omid Mohamadi
DESCRIPTION:The Iranian Women’s Movement: Rights and Difference\nOmid Mohamadi\, Lecturer\, Feminist Studies \nMy talk centers on the Irania women’s movement and the One Million Signatures Campaign that seeks equal rights for all Iranian women within the laws of the Islamic Republic. Focusing on the campaign’s central text\, The Effect of Laws on Women’s Lives\, and activists’ testimonies\, I show how the Iranian women’s movement appeals to (and also challenges) multiple sites simultaneously\, and highlight and critique scholars who subscribe to a shared historical narrative suggesting that the current unity between secular and religious feminists is evidence that the women’s movement has superseded a century of internecine conflict and possibly ideology itself. One must also look at the internal logic of rights themselves and their ability to either imperil or strengthen social movements. I argue that two central facets of rights coupled with two historical development after the 1979 Revolution are responsible for the recent rights-based activism of Iranian feminist\, and conclude by thinking through the politics of difference within the movement\, especially claims of radical alterity that fray when confronted with the complex relationship between secularism and religion. \n  \nOmid Mohamadi earned his Ph.D. in Politics at UCSC with a Designated Emphasis in Feminist Studies. Focusing on contemporary Iran\, his research utilizes feminist and political theory to explore interrelated questions on religion\, secularism\, gender\, rights\, the state\, art\, and social movements. \n  \n\nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Winter 2017 Schedule:\nJanuary 12th: Soma de Bourbon\, “Parenting BinaryTrans Children on the Edge of the Bay Area”\nFebruary 2nd: Mikki Stelder\, “Towards Other Scenes of speaking and Listening: Palestinian Anticolonial Queer Spatialities”\nMarch 2nd: Omid Mohamadi\, “The Iranian Women’s Movement: Rights and Difference”

SUMMARY:Cultural Studies Talk with Erick Lyle: "Streetopia and Beyond"
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Cultural Studies Presents: \nStreetopia and Beyond\nA Talk by Eric Lyle \n3-5 pm\nMonday\, February 27\nHumanities 1\, 210 \nWhat does community control look like? How do we organize to build power on a neighborhood level today? In the new Trump Era\, cities like Los Angeles\, New York\, and San Francisco have rushed to reassure that their governments intend to oppose new restrictive federal immigration policies and to reinforce these cities’ status as Sanctuary Cities. But as homeless sweeps and evictions continue to endanger communities of working class and people of color\, we have to ask what does “sanctuary” mean in the era of rampant displacement? Author Erick Lyle suggests the path to resisting Trump Administration policies lies in doubling down on existing anti-gentrification efforts and organizing on a hyperlocal basis to seize community control of development\, housing\, planning\, and utilities. Join Lyle for a discussion of the possibilities for resistance in neighborhood organizing and for a look at the author’s work on Streetopia\, a massive anti-gentrification art fair that took place in San Francisco in 2012\, and brought together residents of the city’s Tenderloin with over a hundred artists and activists to actualize mutual aid-based community projects and to consider utopian aspiration for the city. \nErick Lyle is a writer\, curator\, musician\, and underground journalist. His work has appeared in Art in America\, Vice\, California Sunday Magazine\, Huck\, LA Weekly\, Brooklyn Rail\, and on NPR’s This American Life. Since 1991\, he has written\, edited\, and published the influential punk/activist/art/crime magazine\, SCAM\, and he was a frequent contributor to the arts and literary section of the San Francisco Bay Guardian. He has played on some 30 records by at least a dozen bands.  He currently lives in Brooklyn\, NY.

SUMMARY:Susanna Schellenberg "Perceptual Consciousness as a Mental Activity"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nI argue that perceptual consciousness is constituted by a mental activity. The mental activity in question is the activity of employing perceptual capacities\, such as discriminatory\, selective capacities. This is a radical view\, but I hope to make it plausible. In arguing for this mental activist view\, I reject orthodox views on which perceptual consciousness is analyzed in terms of (sensory awareness relations to) peculiar entities\, such as\, phenomenal properties\, external mind-independent properties\, propositions\, sense-data\, qualia\, or intentional objects. \nAbout:\nSusanna Schellenberg is a Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University and an Executive Council Faculty Member of the Rutgers University Center for Cognitive Science. Her work focuses on a range of topics in epistemology\, philosophy of mind\, and philosophy of language. She is particularly interested in the nature of perceptual content\, the epistemic role of perceptual experience\, and mental capacities.

SUMMARY:Loess is More: A Spatial and Ecological History of Erosion on Imperial China's Northwest Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Loess is More: A Spatial and Ecological History of Erosion on Imperial China’s Northwest Frontier\nRuth Mostern \n  \nAbstract: Beginning in the eleventh century\, the Yellow River shifted from a long-term condition of relative stability to a later state of frequent floods and course changes. In recent years\, environmental scientists and historians have converged on a set of insights about the timing and processes that brought about these changes. All of the evidence confirms that the primary cause of upstream erosion and downstream flooding was the intensification of human activity in the grasslands of the Ordos basin\, the loess soil region contained within the great bend of the Yellow River. This paper introduces environmental science research about the long history of human impacts on the loess plateau during the entire Holocene. In addition it uses historical sources\, spatial analysis and soil science to focus particular particular attention on the northern and western Ordos region during the eleventh century\, explaining why these decades created a tipping point in social and ecological life in north China. \n  \nLunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Professor Emeritus Andrew Cohen: "Enhancing the Role of Pragmatics in Teacher Education"
DESCRIPTION:Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics Presents \nProfessor Emeritus Andrew Cohen\nEnhancing the Role of Pragmatics in Teacher Education \nWednesday\, February 8\n210 Humanities Bldg 1\n5:15PM \nLight refreshments will be served \nThe talk starts with the premise that for many target-language (TL) learners\, the actual learning process consists of the rote memorization of lots of vocabulary and grammar rules\, sometimes or even often without the knowledge of how to make appropriate use of this information in actual communicative situations. The talk will highlight certain specific areas in TL pragmatics that are teachable but often neglected in TL instruction\, as well as some of the challenges involved in teaching this information. The talk will also include brief comment regarding the assessment of the pragmatics that is taught and strategies for students in the learning and performance of pragmatics. The speaker has been studying his 12th TL (Mandarin) for the last five years\, so he can speak from experience about pragmatic failures.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Labor Mobility and Precarity: A Seminar with Guy Standing\, Alejandro Grimson\, and Biao Xiang
DESCRIPTION:Precarity\, the experience of insecurity and constant risk of exclusion\, is central to the experience of many labor migrants and citizen-workers in our time. Session II of Non-citizenship\, UC Santa Cruz’s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Sawyer Seminar\, focuses on precarity\, labor mobility\, and denizenship (the status of being a denizen or inhabitant\, as opposed to a full citizen)\, concepts that highlight the tiered and sometimes overlapping spaces between citizen and non-citizen.

SUMMARY:Christopher Newfield: "After the Great Mistake: Fixing Public Universities in the Trump Administration"
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Newfield’s (Professor of literature and American studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara) new book\, “The Great Mistake\,“ shows how privatization has weakened the educational quality and the budgetary stability of public universities and wrecked their true public mission.  But how can they recover during an administration that promises to accelerate privatization in every arena? Newfield argues that universities should use this period to rebuild their public purpose from the ground up\, with special attention to the non-college voters that allegedly turned the election towards Donald J. Trump. \nCo-Sponsored by the Center for Cultural Studies and the Santa Cruz Faculty Association.

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Mikki Stelder
DESCRIPTION:Towards Other Scenes of Speaking and Listening: Palestinian Anticolonial Queer Spatialities\nMikki Stelder\, Visiting Scholar \nIn 2010\, Palestinian Queers for Boycott\, Divestment and Sanctions called upon international queer communities to support the Palestinian calls for BDS. My dissertation emerged as one way to respond. First\, I lay out the terms within which scholars and activists have engaged with PQBDS’ call and conditions of possibility within which responses emerged. Secondly\, I discuss an event that undermined the logics of settler colonialism and sexual imperialism in Israel/Palestine: In 2011\, three Palestinian queer groups engaged in email conversation with the International Gay and Lesbian Youth and Student Organization (IGLYO) about its decision to host its General Assembly in Tel Aviv. IGLYO went ahead with its plans\, but invited the groups to a public debate with an Israeli LGBT group cohosting the GA. The Palestinian groups refused and then publicized their email correspondence with IGLYO. Viewing these decisions as a politics of refusal\, I ask what other practices endure under Israeli occupation and alter the terms of Israel/Palestine engagement. \n  \nMikki Stelder is a PhD Candidate at the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis at the University of Amsterdam. She is a visiting scholar at UCSC in the History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies Department under the auspices and guidance of Gina Dent. She also teaches Feminist and Postcolonial Critique to choreography students at the School for New Dance Development\, Amsterdam. \n  \n\nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Winter 2017 Schedule:\nJanuary 12th: Soma de Bourbon\, “Parenting BinaryTrans Children on the Edge of the Bay Area”\nFebruary 2nd: Mikki Stelder\, “Towards Other Scenes of speaking and Listening: Palestinian Anticolonial Queer Spatialities”\nMarch 2nd: Omid Mohamadi\, “The Iranian Women’s Movement: Rights and Difference”

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Soma de Bourbon
DESCRIPTION:Parenting Binary Trans Children on the Edge of the Bay Area\nSoma de Bourbon\, Lecturer\, Feminist Studies \nParents feel urgency to mitigate the disproportionally high rates of depression and suicide among trans youth. There is evidence (Olson at al. 2016)that a gender-affirming environment can\, in part\, accomplish this. Many Bay Area families are gender supportive\, but is the larger Bay Area? I think we need to address the marginalization of binary trans youth of color within the non-binary movement in the Bay Area. Although the landscape of infinite gender holds radical potential for many\, it can shift\, and in some cases has shifted\, to a repressive space for some. As mother to a binary trans girl\, I watch her live in a liminal space-occupying a duality: acceptance as feminized girl when she is stealth and rejection for cissimilation when she is “out.” Both the revolutionary potential of the struggle to unbind the binary\, and its capacity to exclude individuals who pioneered its inception and continue to die for it each year\, binary trans women of color\, are issues I am interested in engaging. \n  \nSoma de Bourbon is an adjunct professor at SJSU\, De Anza College\, and UCSC. She received her Ph.D. from the History of Consciousness Department at UCSC and her B.A. from the Ethics Studies Department at UC Berkeley. Soma’s heritage is Blackfeet and French\, and she is the advisor to the Native American Student Organization at SJSU. \n  \nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Winter 2017 Schedule:\nJanuary 12th: Soma de Bourbon\, “Parenting BinaryTrans Children on the Edge of the Bay Area”\nFebruary 2nd: Mikki Stelder\, “Towards Other Scenes of speaking and Listening: Palestinian Anticolonial Queer Spatialities”\nMarch 2nd: Omid Mohamadi\, “The Iranian Women’s Movement: Rights and Difference”

SUMMARY:Film\, Photography\, and the Scientific Record
DESCRIPTION:The IHR Research Cluster on Race\, Violence\, Inequality\, and the Anthropocene presents \nFilm\, Photography\, and the Scientific Record\nA reading seminar with Dr. Gregg Mitman \nWe will read two chapters by Gregg Mitman and Faye Ginsburg from Documenting the World: Film\, Photography\, and the Scientific Record\, edited by Gregg Mitman and Kelley Wilder (University of Chicago Press\, 2016). Documenting the World concerns the material and social life of photographs and film made in the scientific quest to document the world. Mitman’s chapter investigates the many lives of a 1926 Harvard expedition film shot in Liberia; Ginsburg’s chapter explores the repurposing of Nazi medical films by disability activists. Both chapters examine what can happen when colonial and totalitarian impulses to collect\, classify\, and control are repurposed by those whose ancestors were once the objects of that documentary gaze. \nFor the readings and more information\, contact mfernan3@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Cleo Woelfle-Erskine
DESCRIPTION:“Queer x Trans x Feminist x Ecology: Toward a Field Science Practice”\nCleo Woelfle-Erskine\, UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow \nEcologist are on the front line of the sixth mass extinction\, as intimates die at alarming rates. What radical politics and transformative potentials can arise from witnessing these transgressive intimacies\, even or especially among more-than-human others dying because of human (in)action? I search for signs of resistant ‘world making’ (Munoz) in ephemeral moments where scientist were able to speak their grief at extinction and love for their study species\, through three cases: (1) scientists’ field photos and captions circulated during a twitter #cuteoff\, (2) my own encounters with dead salmon during ecological field studies\, and (3) “Tell A Salmon Your Troubles\,” an interactive performance in which scientist confessed their troubles about data\, habitat loss\, and extinction to a silent yet responsive salmon character. I explore resonance between queer and trans theory and indigenous theory that foregrounds multispecies ethics and relational practices\, and consider how field ecologist can challenge settler ontologies and epistemologies embedded in scientific and environmental management practices. \nDr.Cleo Woelfle-Erskine is an ecologist\, hydrologist\, writer\, and scholar of water\, working with mentor Karen Barad to explore queer\, transgender\, and decolonial possibilities for ecological science. In July 2017\, he will join the faculty of the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs at the University of Washington\, Seattle as Assistant Professor of Equity and Environmental Justice. \n\nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Fall 2016 Schedule: \nOctober 13th: Sara Mameni\, “Ethnofuturism and the Archeology of the Future”\nNovember 3rd: Redi Koobak\, “Rethinking Gender\, Art & Geopolitics through Post-national War Rhetoric”\nDecember 1st: Cleo Woelfle-Erskine\,  “Queer x Trans x Ecology: Toward a Field Science Practice”

SUMMARY:WHAT GOES UP\, MUST COME DOWN: Contemporary Activist Scholarship
DESCRIPTION:We hope you can join us for this speaker series jointly hosted by Feminist Studies & the History of Consciousness\, with support from the Center for Cultural Studies.\n\nAK Thompson\nEpistemologies of the Visual From Raphael to Late Capital: Some Observations Regarding Keywords for Radicals and Data Visualization \nThursday\, DECEMBER 1 | 12:20-2:00 | HUM 210; UCSC\n+\nFriday\, DECEMBER 2 | 6-8pm | SUB ROSA 703 Pacific Ave\, Downtown Santa Cruz \nSince the visual turn in the social sciences at the beginning of the twenty-first century\, images have become important points of engagement both as objects and as modes of analysis. For this reason\, along with its 50+ entries exploring the keywords used by contemporary activists\, Keywords for Radicals (AK Press 2016) incorporates data visualization to show how the “vocabulary” shared by radicals constitutes a kind of self-supporting small world network. \nSuch visualizations can help readers to map how the project’s vocabulary “works” and how struggles over word usage and meaning might most effectively be carried out. But while data visualization of this kind can be useful\, it also raises significant epistemological questions about the relationship between representation and what’s real. \nIn this presentation\, Keywords for Radicals editor AK Thompson will discuss the theoretical and aesthetic foundations of the project’s data visualization in order to evaluate the promise and perils of this technique in the age of the infographic. \nAK Thompson got kicked out of high school for publishing an underground newspaper called The Agitator and has been an activist\, writer\, and social theorist ever since. Currently teaching social theory at Fordham University\, his publications include Black Bloc\, White Riot: Anti-Globalization and the Genealogy of Dissent (2010) and Sociology for Changing the World: Social Movements/Social Research (2006). Between 2005 and 2012\, he served on the Editorial Committee of Upping The Anti: A Journal of Theory and Action. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1865000727120347/

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Redi Koobak
DESCRIPTION:“Rethinking Gender\, Art & Geopolitic through Post-national War Rhetoric”\nRedi Koobak\, Assitant Professor\, Linkoping University\, Sweden \nAfter its 50-year occupation by the Soviets\, current political disclosure in Estonia revolves around the importance of proving that despite being small\, Estonia is courages and highly reliable NATO ally to defend against the historically perceived threat from Russia. For example\, Estonia’s participation in Afghanistan missions was presented as self-evident and largely unquestioned both in parliament and in the media. In this context\, it is difficult to find counter-narratives to war in public discourse\, with implications for understandings of gender\, geopolitics\, and nationalism. In search of voices that question the general consensus about Estonia’s participation in NATO missions\, I zoom in on the artworks of Estonian artist Maarit Murka who was invited to visit Estonian troops in Afghanistan on the commission of the Estonian Military Museum. Pondering upon three exhibitions she made as a result of her trip\, I explore how artistic interventions might denaturalize gendered and nationalized notions of violence and justifications for war. \nRedi Koobak is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Thematic Studies- Gender Studies at Linking University\, Sweden\, where she also defended her dissertation\, Whirling Stories: Postsocialist Feminist Imaginaries and the Visual Arts (Linking University Press\, 2013). She is a visiting scholar and lecturer in the Feminist Studies Department at UC Santa Cruz during Fall 2016. \n\nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Fall 2016 Schedule: \nOctober 13th: Sara Mameni\,”Ethnofuturism and the Archeology of the Future”\nNovember 3rd: Redi Koobak\,”Rethinking Gender\, Art & Geopolitics through Post-national War Rhetoric”\nDecember 1st: Cleo Woelfle-Erskine\,”Queer x Trans x Ecology: Toward a Field Science Practice”

SUMMARY:Anna Tsing & Isabelle Carbonell: “‘Golden Snail Opera’: The More-than-human Performance of Friendly Farming on Taiwan’s Lanyang Plain”
DESCRIPTION:Written by Anna Tsing\, Isabelle Carbonell\, Joelle Chevrier and Yen-ling Tsai (Associate Professor of Anthropology at National Chaio Tung University Taiwan)\, Golden Snail Opera combines video and performance-oriented text into a genre-bending o-pei-la. This piece is a multispecies enactment of experimental natural history considering the “golden treasure snail\,” imported to Taiwan in 1979\, which is now major pest of rice agriculture. Whereas farmers in the Green Revolution’s legacy use poison to exterminate snails\, a new generation of “friendly farmers” attempts to insert farming as one among many multispecies life ways within the paddy. \nAnna Tsing is Professor of Anthropology at UC Santa Cruz and Co-Director of Aarhus University Research on the Anthropocene (AURA). \nIsabelle Carbonell is a PhD student in Film and Digital Media at UC Santa Cruz and a documentary filmmaker. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies will continue to host a Wednesday colloquium series\, which features current cultural studies work by campus faculty and visitors. The sessions are informal\, normally consisting of a 30-40 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15.

SUMMARY:David Landy: "Explanation and Personal Identity in the Appendix to Hume's Treatise"
DESCRIPTION:In the Appendix to his Treatise\, Hume famously expresses a deep dissatisfaction with the account of personal identity that he had earlier presented\, but offers only the briefest description of what his concern is. Scholars working on this problem have presented a wide variety of suggestions of what Hume might be thinking. I will argue that such scholars have largely overlooked an important clue: the fact that Hume twice presents the problem as one with any theory that purports\, “to explain the principles\, that unite our successive perceptions in our thought or consciousness.” The key here\, I will suggest\, lies in understanding Hume’s notion of explanation. The two most prominent accounts of Hume on explanation lie at the extreme ends of an interpretive spectrum\, and are both philosophically and exegetically untenable. The first is that scientific explanation aims at nothing more than subsuming particular observations under inductively-established universal generalizations. The second is that Hume makes explanatory appeals to certain substances and causal powers that we cannot in any way represent\, but to which we can nonetheless refer. The first gets right Hume’s insistence on the connection of explanation to experience. The second gets right that it is the universal regularities of experience that stand in need of explanation\, not that do the explaining. So\, I will present a new account of Hume’s understanding of explanation that takes these successes and failures into account\, and will show that this interpretation perfectly predicts everything that Hume finds wrong with his account of personal identity. \nDavid Landy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at San Francisco State University. He works primariy on the history of Modern philosophy\, especially Hume and Kant\, and also has interests in German Idealism and the work of Wilfrid Sellars.

SUMMARY:Feminist Studies Colloquium Series: Sara Mameni
DESCRIPTION:“Ethnofuturism and the Archeology of the Future”\nSara Mameni\, UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow \nIn her video project\, “In the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain” (2014)\, Larissa Sansour enters the fictional world of a resistance group who bury porcelain remains of an imaginary civilization to influence history and support their claims to land and sovereignty. Shuttling between past and future\, the film uses science fiction aesthetics and speculative language to re-write the history of the future and lay claim to home. Similarly\, Morehshin Allahyari’s ongoing project titled “Material Speculation” (2015) reconstructs archeological artifacts destroyed by ISIS in 3D format \, archiving lost objects by including a digital memory card inside each newly constructed artifact. Sansour and Allahyari use the science of past-making to enter into the future. Yet unlike archeology’s attachment to stable land\, they propose a virtual archeology of landsand artifacts already lost. I argue that artist such as Sansour and Allahyari launch an ethnofuturist aesthetic geared towards a sustained relationship with otherness\, defying temporarily by claiming their politics in the imaginitve space of the future and the speculative space of hope. \nSara Mameni received her PhD in Art History at UC San Diego with dissertation titled “On Persian Blues: Queer Bodies\, Racial Affects.” Her research\, publications and curatorial work have engaged gender\, race and sexuality in art and visual culture in Iran and Arab/Muslim world. \n\nFeminist Studies Colloquium Series Fall 2016 Schedule: \nOctober 13th: Sara Mameni\,”Ethnofuturism and the Archeology of the Future”\nNovember 3rd: Redi Koobak\,”Rethinking Gender\, Art & Geopolitics through Post-national War Rhetoric”\nDecember 1st: Cleo Woelfle-Erskine\,”Queer x Trans x Ecology: Toward a Field Science Practice”

SUMMARY:Bernard Stiegler: "Beyond the Anthropocene"
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible to think in a state of emergency? \nThis is now a pressing question when the Anthropocene disrupts the biosphere where we – permanently connected and algorithmically controlled – live in a permanent state of emergency\, universal\, and unpredictable. \nLunch will be provided at 11am in Humanities 1\, Room 202. \nTwo theses will be addressed:\n– On the one hand\, to think in the Anthropocene\, one must rethink the Anthropocene itself\, and to rethink the Anthropocene\, we must think beyond the Anthropocene\, which is a dead end.\n– On the other hand\, beyond the Anthropocene\, there is the Neguanthropocene\, a coming era in which thinking means taking care (in French\, « panser » ; in German « sorgen »).\nThis is what will be expressed by an untranslatable neologism\, a neologism not unrelated to Jacques Derrida’s concept of « differance » : in the Anthropocene\, thought becomes « la p(a)nsée ». \nBernard Stiegler will also have an event at 4pm in Porter 245 were he will talk about digital studies at the Visual and Media Cultures Colloquium. \nRespondents: Hayden White\, Wlad Godzich\, and Anna Tsing. \nSponsored by: Computation\, Culture\, and Games Research Cluster\, Center for Cultural Studies\, Institute for Humanities Research\, Arts Division\, DANM\, and Film & Digital Media. \nBernard Stiegler directs the Institut de recherche et d’innovation du Centre Pompidou and is president of the Ars Industrialis association. He is affiliate faculty at the Université de Technologie de Compiègne\, distinguished professor at Nanjing University\, and visiting professor at the Cogut Center for the Humanities at Brown University. \n  \n\n  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a Wednesday colloquium series\, which features current cultural studies work by campus faculty and visitors. The sessions are informal\, normally consisting of a 30-40 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center will provide coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nFall 2016 Colloquium Dates: \nOctober 19 Paul N. Edwards \nOctober 26 Alma Heckman \nNovember 2 Anna Tsing / Isbelle Carbonell \nNovember 9 Joan Wallach Scott \nNovember 16 Robin Hunicke

SUMMARY:Linking Citizenship\, Migration\, Labor\, Border\, and Carceral Studies: A Seminar with Bridget Anderson
DESCRIPTION:How\, when\, where\, and why do citizenship\, migration\, labor\, border\, and carceral studies converge? What happens when we put these fields in dialogue with one another? Why the distinction between migration studies and refugee studies? When do forced migration and labor migration overlap and when are they different? Who is a “migrant\,” “refugee\,” “citizen\,” and “worker”? What is the difference between prisoner and detainee? Between citizen and denizen? Over 2016-17\, scholars at UC Santa Cruz involved with Non-citizenship\, our Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture\, will grapple with these questions as we reflect on and link our Sawyer Seminar’s 3 themes: forced migration\, labor mobility and precarity\, and the fluidity of status. Bridget Anderson\, Professor of Migration and Citizenship and Deputy Director of the Centre on Migration\, Policy and Society at the University of Oxford\, helps kick off our discussion by leading a seminar for UC Santa Cruz faculty\, staff\, and students on key and emerging questions and concerns in citizenship\, migration\, labor\, border\, and carceral studies. \nEmily Mitchell-Eaton\, Andrew W.

SUMMARY:Moira Weigel: "A Genealogy of 'Like':  Taste\, Emotional Labor\, and Technology on the Dating Market"
DESCRIPTION:Labor of Love: The Invention of Dating \n“But I Want A Guy I Like To Like The Things I Like”\nTaste and Emotional Labor on the Dating Market \nIt is a truth universally acknowledged that “likes” play an important role in contemporary courtship. While all social media invite us to produce our online identities by performing taste\, dating apps turn our “likes” into literal searching and sorting mechanisms. The favorite bands\, books\, foods\, and so on that you list on an OkCupid profile determine who can find you–and who might be too unlike you to make a good match. But where does the idea that consumer tastes are good predictors of romantic compatibility come from? As Bourdieu put it in his canonical study\, Distinction: “Taste classifies and it classifies the classifier.” Sociologists have shown that even on apps like Tinder\, where users are encouraged to make snap decisions based on visual data (photographs) alone\, they tend to select partners of similar socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels. Do “likes” simply recapitulate the functions that families\, community groups\, and schools have historically performed–sorting young people by class? Drawing on my newly released book\, “Labor of Love: The Invention of Dating“\, I will present a Genealogy of the Like: excavating a wide range. \n\n  \nMoria Weigel is a PhD student in the joint program in Comparative Literature and Film and Media Studies. Before coming to Yale\, she earned a BA (summa cum laude) from Harvard University\, and an M. Phil (with distinction) from the University of Cambridge\, where she was the Harvard Scholar in residence at Emmanuel College. She also worked as an Assistant Editor at Harper’s Magazine. \n“Labor of Love: The Invention of Dating\,” her first book\, is coming out from Farrar\, Straus\, and Giroux in May 2016. In a series of interlinking essays\, LOL investigates the shape-shifting institution of dating–which\, she contends\, names the logic of courtship under consumer driven capitalism. Drawing on Marxist feminism\, sociology\, and cultural history\, she examines how dating has co-evolved with other forms of gendered labor. \n  \n*Free lunch will be provided. \nEVENT PHOTOS:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Ruling Passions: Sexuality\, Science and the (Post)colonial State
DESCRIPTION:The past decade or so has witnessed a rapid rise in scholarship that seeks to seize or transform the language of the “science” for liberatory ends. Such an attachment to the reparative and/or divisive logic of “science” is most evident in minoritized knowledge-formations such as sexuality studies and colonial/postcolonial studies. In the face of contemporary challenges about the limits of scholarship bowing out to the forces of globalization\, the colloquium will examine what is at stake for sexuality studies and postcolonial studies to carve out a critical relationship to histories of science? \nThe types of issues we envisage participants addressing will engage three central questions: \nWhat are the conversations instituted about sexuality in relationship to the colonial and postcolonial state in the global south?\nHow does sexuality studies’s own adherence/attachment to science studies parochialize key assumptions about freedom\, rights and the subject?\nWhat are the ways in which modalities of sentiment\, affect\, emotion entangle with the logic of state discourses and what role does sexuality play within such exchanges? \nSchedule:\n10:00am–10:15am: Introductory Remarks\nAnjali Arondekar\, Feminist Studies\, UCSC \n10:15am-10:30am: Poetic Techne\nRonaldo Wilson\, Literature\, UCSC \n10:30-12:30: The Arabic Freud and the Invention of the Psychosexual Subject\nOmnia El Shakry\, History\, UC Davis\nRespondent: Alma Heckman\, History\, UCSC \n12:30-1:30: Break \n1:30-3:30: Origins and the Sexuality of Science in Colonial India\nDurba Mitra\, History\, Fordham\nRespondent: Megan Moodie\, Anthropology\, UCSC \nParticipants:\nDurba Mitra\, Department of History\, Fordham University \nOrigins and the Sexuality of Science in Colonial India \nDurba Mitra is an assistant professor of history at Fordham University.

SUMMARY:Designing Digital Scholarship: Art\, Feminism + the Digital Humanities
DESCRIPTION:With Craig Deitrich (Claremont Colleges) and Tara McPherson (USC) \nThe story of the digital humanities is often narrated at a decades-long history of the computational manipulation of print. What alternative histories are concealed by such a story? How might we imagine DH differently if we move beyond a focus on text toward multimodal expression and design? What audiences might such work reach? This talk will trace some of the alternate histories of DH\, paying particular attention to the visual and the political by engaging the work of feminists\, artists\, and scholars of color. \nMcPherson will also consider how scholarly evidence might be engaged anew through the aesthetic possibilities of the digital archive. By taking up the work of the Vectors Lab\, she will approach these questions through concrete examples of digital scholarship today. \n\n  \nCraig Dietrich is a digital artist\, scholar\, and educator. Deitrich is currently the Director of the Digital Humanities Research Studio at Claremont Colleges. \nTara McPherson is Associate Professor of Critical Studies at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts. She is a core faculty member of the IMAP program\, USC’s innovative practice based-Ph.D.\, and also an affiliated faculty member in the American Studies and Ethnicity Department. Her research engages the cultural dimensions of media\, including the intersection of gender\, race\, affect and place. She has a particular interest in digital media. Here\, her research focuses on the digital humanities\, early software histories\, gender\, and race\, as well as upon the development of new tools and paradigms for digital publishing\, learning\, and authorship. \nCo-sponsored by the UCSC IGHERT Program\, Film + Digital Media\, HAVC\,  University Library\, Grad Division

SUMMARY:Mireille Lee “The Archaeology of Ancient Greek Dress”
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Society of the Archaeological Institute of America and The UCSC Archaeological Research Center present: \nArchaeology provides important evidence for ancient Greek dress\, which was essential to the construction of social identities. Although no complete garments survive\, preserved fragments of silk and embroideries indicate the elite status of the wearer. Jewelry\, dress fasteners\, toilet implements\, perfume vessels\, cosmetics\, and mirrors are also important indicators of status and gender. The visual sources\, including sculpture and vase-painting\, depict men and women performing various dress practices. Although some practices\, such as bathing and the use of perfumes\, are common to both genders\, others are specific to either men or women. The visual sources demonstrate other aspects of identity: age and social role are often indicated by hairstyle\, whereas ethnicity is also conveyed by means of garments and body-modifications. Although dress is often considered a mundane aspect of culture\, Professor Lee argues that dress provides unique insight into ancient Greek ideologies. \nRefreshments at 4:30 and reception to follow the lecture \nFree parking for lecture in the lower Cowell parking lot \nMireille Lee is Assistant Professor with the Departments of History of Art and Classical Studies at Vanderbilt University\, and holds her degrees from Bryn Mawr (Ph.D.) and Occidental College. Her research interests include Greek art and archaeology\, in particular the construction of gender in ancient visual and material culture. She has published widely on the social functions of dress in ancient Greece\, including her volume Body\, Dress\, and Identity in Ancient Greece (Cambridge University Press\, 2015). Her current research focuses on ancient Greek mirrors as social objects. \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Tony Michels: "Soviet America: The Russian Revolution in Jewish Life”
DESCRIPTION:The Russian Revolution of 1917 radically altered American Jewish politics.  Whereas most Americans viewed the revolution as a threat to western civilization\, Jews wished for the success of the Bolsheviks\, who offered the only possibility of rescue from the mass slaughter carried out by anti-Communist forces.   A minority of Jews went so far as to join the American Communist Part with the hope of replicating the Russian Revolution on American soil.   Although only a minority\, Communists put forward a persistently attractive alternative to the dominant model of Americanization\, according to which Jews ought to integrate into a liberal\, political order.   In the decades following the Russian Revolution\, American Jews moved between competing poles of Communism and liberalism and\, simultaneously\,  between competing ideals of universalism and Jewish particularity.  All the while\, Jews wrestled with the question of totalitarianism\, one of the most divisive questions of the twentieth century.   What was Soviet Russia?   Was it a daring social experiment that wedded scientific planning with ideals of equality in all areas of human endeavor?  Or was the Soviet Union a vast prison system built upon ruthless repression of the working class?  Over a four decade period\, from the outbreak of the Russian Revolution until the end of the Second World War\, a period framed by enormous catastrophes yet animated by utopian visions of social justice\, American Jews defined themselves in relation to the Soviet Union. \nTony Michels is George L. Mosse Associate Professor of American Jewish History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He teaches courses in American Jewish history\, with a special emphasis on immigration\, politics\, and comparative ethnic history\, as well as courses in labor history and radical political movements. His research focuses on the political and cultural history of the Jews. He is author of A Fire in Their Hearts: Yiddish Socialists in New York (2005)\, winner of the Salo Baron Prize from the American Academy for Jewish Research\, and Jewish Radicals: A Documentary History (2012). He is currently working on a book about the relationship of American Jews to Soviet Russia between the 1920s and 1960s. \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:La Ironía y Anticlericalismo En Halma
DESCRIPTION:UCSC Spanish Studies and the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics Present: \nLA IRONÍA Y ANTICLERICALISMO EN HALMA \nÁLVARO ROMERO MARCO (UCSC) \nMás allá de las clasificaciones y evoluciones que la crítica ha venido realizando\, la novelística de Galdós es consecuencia de su ideología\, pues la realidad es observada y transformada a través de su apuesta por la modernidad. En el caso de Halma\, los pilares que sustentan la enseñanza que quiere trasmitir el autor son la distancia socarrona y un convencido anticlericalismo; una ironía sin acidez y siempre constructiva y una desconfianza en la institución eclesiástica que nunca significa un ataque a la visión religiosa de la existencia. Tradicionalmente esta novela\, que Ediciones Alfar tiene a bien ofrecer al lector\, ha sido editada y analizada a la sombra de la famosa “segunda manera” y\, particularmente\, como la segunda parte de Nazarín. Esta edición presenta la obra aislándola de esas ataduras para que pueda ser leída de manera independiente. En cualquier caso\, no hay duda de que Halma es otra de las grandes novelas del autor. \n\n\n*Light refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Contemplative Pedagogy Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative pedagogy is an integrated approach to teaching and learning that sees education as a transformative process rather than simply a means of accumulating\ninformation. With an emphasis on curiosity\, collaboration\, engagement\, and student-centered learning\, contemplative approaches seek to cultivate thinkers and responders rather than consumers of knowledge. Practitioners forge links between traditional disciplinary wisdom and the environmental\, ethical\, and economic challenges facing humankind. \nThe goal of contemplative pedagogy\, as articulated by the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society\, is to foster “true community\, deeper insight\, sustainable living\, and a more just society.” \nSaturday\, April 16 @ 9am-5pm\nContemplative Pedagogy Symposium\nDaylong working group in which a small group of interested parties will read central texts in the field of Contemplative Pedagogy and discuss them with our panel of experts. These works will primarily provide an introduction to contemplative teaching methods\, although we will be discussing other methodological uses of contemplative approaches. \nIf you would like to participate in the symposium\, please email ihr@ucsc.edu. \nFriday\, April 15 @ 2-4 pm\nPublic Roundtable on Contemplative Approaches in Higher Education\nMcHenry Library Room 4286\nThis roundtable brings together leaders in the field with expertise in diverse disciplines\, including the Humanities\, the Natural Sciences\, and Legal Studies. \nClick here for more info on the Roundtable. \nVisitors\nRhonda Magee\, Professor of Law at the University of San Francisco\, School of Law\, and a teacher of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Her scholarly work focuses on race law and policy as well as on humanizing legal education and the practice of law. This effort aims to help law students and practitioners cope with pressure in order to be more successful and effective. A national leader in the movement to humanize law and legal education\, and an expert in contemplative pedagogy\, Professor Magee recently published “Contemplative Practices and the Renewal of Legal Education\,” New Directions for Teaching and Learning: Contemplative Studies in Higher Education\, no. 134\, (Jossey Bass\, 2013)\, 31.” Magee’s courses share a common theme of examining how law responds to the vulnerable in society. She is the author of numerous journal articles\, including “Educating Lawyers to Meditate?” (University of Missouri–Kansas City Law Review\, 2011)\, “Slavery as Immigration?” (University of San Francisco Law Review\, 2009)\, and “Competing Narratives\, Competing Jurisprudences: Are Law Schools Racist?” (University of San Francisco Law Review\, 2009). \n \nErin McCarthy\, Professor and Chair of Philosophy and Professor in Asian Studies\, St. Lawrence University. Dr. Erin McCarthy came to St. Lawrence in 2000. She teaches Asian\, feminist\, continental and comparative philosophy. Author of the book Ethics Embodied: Rethinking Selfhood through Continental\, Japanese and Feminist Philosophies (Lexington\, 2010)\, her work has been published in several anthologies and journals in both French and English and she regularly presents her scholarship both nationally and internationally. She was an inaugural recipient of the “Frederick P. Lenz Foundation Residential Fellowship for Buddhist Studies and American Culture and Values” at Naropa University in 2009. Dr. McCarthy sits on the Editorial board of the journal Comparative and Continental Philosophy and is Co-editor of the ASIANetwork Exchange: A journal for Asian Studies and the Liberal Arts. She has also served as Chair of the Board of Directors of ASIANetwork (a consortium of over 170 North American colleges). Currently\, her research interests are taking two directions – the first\, a project titled “Re-imagining Maternity\,”is a comparative philosophical re-thinking of the norms of maternity; and the second looks at the ways in which contemplative education can be enriched by incorporating feminist philosophies. \n \nPeter Grossenbacher\, Professor in Contemplative Education and Contemplative Psychology\, Naropa University. Professor Grossenbacher directs Naropa’s internationally known Consciousness Laboratory. In collaboration with students in the lab\, he conducts empirical research on meditation instruction\, worldview transformation\, and engagement with awareness. His research has been covered in the New York Times\, Smithsonian Magazine\, and Discover Magazine. Grossenbacher teaches courses in Perception\, Neuroscience\, Mindfulness Meditation\, Cognitive Psychology\, Personality\, and Research Methods. He previously conducted research on human attention at the National Institute of Mental Health\, and taught at the University of Oregon\, England’s University of Cambridge\, and American University in Washington\, D.C.
