SUMMARY:"Intentional Design: Making Assignments that Work"
DESCRIPTION:“Intentional Design: Making Assignments that Work\,” with Jessie Dubreuil\, Kimberly Helmer\, Philip Longo\, Tonya Ritola\, and Heather Shearer \nThis is the second teaching workshop of The Humanities Institute research cluster “Teaching and Learning in the Humanities Now”\, designed to promote collective conversations about how we teach in the humanities now. Whether you teach a large lecture course or a small seminar\, join us to explore and discuss best practices for assignment design that go beyond the traditional essay. Writing Program faculty will introduce research-based strategies to promote conceptual thinking and build competency. The interactive workshop will provide faculty with strategies to apply to current or future assignments. Please bring an assignment you would like to work on. All Senate and non-Senate faculty and graduate students welcome. \n

SUMMARY:Steven Haug: "Community in Heidegger's Philosophy of Art"
DESCRIPTION:In order for a work of art to be great\, according to Heidegger\, at least one of the conditions it must meet is the community condition. While this condition is discussed much less in the literature than the relation of art to truth in Heidegger\, it is of more consequence. It is art’s inability to meet the community condition which led Heidegger to conclude that art since the Middle Ages is not great art. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of the community condition in Heidegger’s philosophy of art and explain just what the condition is. \nSteven Haug is a philosophy Phd student who works primarily on the philosophy of art\, especially 20th century German philosophy of art. His most recent project focuses on elucidating the importance of community in Heidegger’s philosophy of art. \nFriday Forum is a weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities. Join us for light refreshments and weekly presentations by your fellow graduate students. Friday Forum is supported by the Graduate Student Association\, the Humanities Institute\, and the following departments: HAVC\, Literature\, and History of Consciousness. \nFor questions\, email fridayforum.ucsc@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Before and After: How We Redesigned Courses for Educational Equity and Active Learning
DESCRIPTION:Teaching and Learning in the Humanities Now Workshop Series \nBefore and After: How We Redesigned Courses for Educational Equity and Active Learning\nwith Alan Christy and Jody Greene \nThe Institute for Humanities Research cluster “Teaching and Learning in the Humanities Now” is hosting a new workshop series that features educators in humanities fields at UC Santa Cruz sharing changes they have made to their teaching—ranging from changes to in-class policies and styles\, to assignment re-design\, to whole course transformations. The workshop series seeks to promote collective conversations about how we teach in the humanities now\, and is open to all graduate students and faculty. \nIn the first workshop\, “Before and After: How We Redesigned a Course for Educational Equity and Active Learning\,” Alan Christy (Associate Professor of History) and Jody Greene (Professor of Literature\, Feminist Studies\, and History of Consciousness) will discuss how they transformed lecture or survey courses to enhance educational equity and active learning in their classrooms. \nTransforming “The Japanese Empire”\nAssociate Professor Alan Christy will discuss the transformation of a survey history course into a research seminar driven by the experience of discovery and focused on three key skills for researchers: asking good questions\, finding sources\, and articulating value. \nTransforming “The Eighteenth-Century English Novel”\nProfessor Jody Greene will discuss the transformation of a traditional lecture course into a small course for entering transfer students\, including the introduction of sequenced writing assignments\, structured in-class activities\, and presentations on the “hidden” aspects of the curriculum—e.g. how to take notes\, how to read for a literature course\, and how to write effectively within the discipline. \n**If you’re interested in joining the research cluster and would like to be included on the cluster email list\, please contact Jody Greene at jgreene@ucsc.edu.

SUMMARY:The Center for Emerging Worlds presents Subversive Sounds: Music and Politics of the Global South
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Emerging Worlds presents \nSubversive Sounds: Music and Politics of the Global South \nFriday March 3\, 2017\nHumanities 2\, Room 359\nUC Santa Cruz\nThe event is free and open to the public \nDuring the final decades of the major European empires and at the beginning of a century of American hegemony\, the advent of electrical sound recording\, and the spread of the radio broadcasting gramophone records generated new spaces and modalities of cultural circulation and political discourse. Port cities around the globe\, in particular\, produced hybrid musical forms that inspired imitators and innovators elsewhere. From the end of World War I to the present\, new telecommunications technologies have served as instruments of power\, means of manufacturing consent\, and media of political and commercial colonization\, while vernacular musics and recordings of political speeches and sermons have carried insurgent\, otherworldly visions in opposition to empire. While textuality\, printed media\, and visual culture conventionally receive more attention\, this daylong conference foregrounds soundscapes and the anticolonial audiopolitics of the Global South. \n10:00 AM\nMarc Matera (UC Santa Cruz) – Opening Remarks \n10:30 AM-12:15 PM\nAlejandra Bronfman (University of British Columbia)\n“Drums\, Mines\, Coils\, Voices: Histories of Media and Materiality”\n–       Discussion Comments by Katherine Gordy (San Francisco State University) \n12:15 PM-1:30PM Lunch \n1:30 PM-3:15 PM\nMichael Denning (Yale University)\n“‘A Noisy Heaven and a Syncopated Earth’: The Transcolonial Reverberations of Vernacular Phonograph Music”\n–       Discussion Comments by Eric Porter (UC Santa Cruz) \n3:30 PM-5:00 PM\nClosing Roundtable with Michael Denning\, Alejandra Bronfman\, Eric Porter\, and David Anthony (UC Santa Cruz) \nFor more information\, contact sjetha@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Book Talks - Gil Anidjar: "Blood: A Critique of Christianity"
DESCRIPTION:Blood\, according to Gil Anidjar\, maps the singular history of Christianity. As a category for historical analysis\, blood can be seen through its literal and metaphorical uses as determining\, sometimes even defining Western Culture\, politics\, and social practice and their wide-ranging incarnations in nationalism\, capitalism\, and the law. Flowing across multiple boundaries\, infusing them with violent precepts that we must address\, blood undoes the presumed oppositions between religion and politics\, economy and theology\, and kinship and race. \nDr. Anidjar is professor of Religion\, Comparative Literature\, and Middle Eastern\, South Asian\, and African Studies at Columbia University. His books include The Jew\, The Arab: A History of the Enemy and Semites: Race\, Religion\, Literature. \nUC Santa Cruz’s Center for Emerging Worlds and the Center for Cultural Studies present this new series\, Book Talks\, which invites authors to read from their books and engage in discussion. Please visit the Center for Emerging Worlds’ website for more information on their work.
