SUMMARY:Safiya Noble\, Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism
DESCRIPTION:Please note: this event was rescheduled from February 12 \nThe landscape of information is rapidly shifting as new imperatives and demands push to the fore increasing investment in digital technologies. Yet\, critical information scholars continue to demonstrate how digital technology and its narratives are shaped by and infused with values that are not impartial\, disembodied\, or lacking positionality. Technologies consist of a set of social practices\, situated within the dynamics of race\, gender\, class\, and politics\, and in the service of something – a position\, a profit motive\, a means to an end. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Safiya Umoja Noble will discuss her new book\, Algorithms of Oppression\, and the impact of marginalization and misrepresentation in commercial information platforms like Google search\, as well as the implications for public information needs. \n  \nThis talk is co-sponsored by Kresge College’s Media and Society Lecture Series\, The Science & Justice Research Center\, The Humanities Institute\, and the Department of Sociology. \n— \nDr. Safiya Umoja Noble is an Associate Professor at UCLA in the Departments of Information Studies and African American Studies\, and a visiting faculty member to the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School of Communication. Previously\, she was an Assistant Professor in Department of Media and Cinema Studies and the Institute for Communications Research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In 2019\, she will join the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford as a Senior Research Fellow. \nShe is the author of a best-selling book on racist and sexist algorithmic bias in commercial search engines\, entitled Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism (NYU Press). \nSafiya is the recipient of a Hellman Fellowship and the UCLA Early Career Award. Her academic research focuses on the design of digital media platforms on the internet and their impact on society. Her work is both sociological and interdisciplinary\, marking the ways that digital media impacts and intersects with issues of race\, gender\, culture\, and technology. She is regularly quoted for her expertise by national and international press on issues of algorithmic discrimination and technology bias\, including The Guardian\, the BBC\, CNN International\, USA Today\, Wired\, Time\, and The New York Times\, to name a few. \nDr. Noble is the co-editor of two edited volumes: The Intersectional Internet: Race\, Sex\, Culture and Class Online and Emotions\, Technology & Design. She currently serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Critical Library and Information Studies\, and is the co-editor of the Commentary & Criticism section of the Journal of Feminist Media Studies. She is a member of several academic journal and advisory boards\, including Taboo: The Journal of Culture and Education.

SUMMARY:Michael Hardt: "Where have all the leaders gone?"
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Cultural Studies and the Institute for Humanities Research presents: \n“Where Have All the Leaders Gone?”\nEach year\, we continue to witness the eruption of “leaderless” social movements.  From North Africa and the Middle East to Europe\, the Americas\, and East Asia\, movements have left journalists\, political analysts\, police forces\, and governments disoriented and perplexed.  Activists too have struggled to understand and evaluate the power and effectiveness of horizontal movements.  Why have the movements\, which express the needs and desires of so many\, not been able to achieve lasting change and a more just society?  Many assume that if only social movements could find new leaders they would return to their earlier glory and be able to sustain and achieve projects of social transformation and liberation.  Where\, they ask\, are the new Martin Luther King Jr.s\, Rudi Dutschkes\, Patrice Lumumbas\, and Stephen Bikos?  Where have all the leaders gone? \nIn this lecture Professor Hardt will use examples from past theory and practice to situate and clarify some of the issues and alternatives involved in the organization of social movements today. \nEvent Photos\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nClick here for directions\, where to park\, and how to find the Kresge Town Hall. \n  \n \nAbout Professor Hardt: Michael Hardt teaches at Duke University\, where he is co-director of the Social Movements Lab. He is author of Gilles Deleuze and co-author (with Antonio Negri) of six books. Their Empire trilogy (Empire\, Multitude\, and Commonwealth) analyzes the contemporary capitalist global order and investigates the existing resources for creating alternatives oriented toward democracy and liberation. Their most recent book\, Assembly\, explores how social movements today can enact lasting political transformations. Michael Hardt also currently serves as the editor of The South Atlantic Quarterly. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. \nCO-SPONSORED BY THE LITERATURE DEPARTMENT\, THE POLITICS DEPARTMENT\, AND THE HISTORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS DEPARTMENT.

SUMMARY:Digital Space & Difficult History: Curating The African American and Holocaust Museums
DESCRIPTION:Digital Space & Difficult History: Curating The African American and Holocaust Museums 2.22.17 from IHR on Vimeo. \nEvent Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \nThe new National Museum of African American History and Culture and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum both translate difficult\, often traumatic\, histories into museum exhibitions and invite audiences of all ages to contend with narratives of struggle\, oppression\, violence\, and silence. Digital content has connected these museums to audiences beyond Washington and created opportunities for synthesis\, remembrance and reflection. \nJoin us for a discussion between Angel Nieves (consultant for the “Power of Place” exhibit at the National Museum of African American History and Culture) and Michael Berenbaum (project director of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum) about building museums\, engaging the public\, and representing difficult memories on the Washington Mall. They will examine the role of museums in today’s post-fact world and the potential for digital tools to reimagine how museums speak to their audiences. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nClick here for directions to Kresge Town Hall \nParking attendants will be selling $4 permits in the Core West parking lot. Anyone with an ADA placard should park in lot 142 behind Kresge College. \nCo-sponsored by: Center for Jewish Studies\, IHR Digital Humanities Research Cluster\, and Digital Scholarship Commons\, with support from the Koret Foundation.

SUMMARY:"Genomics and Philosophy of Race" Conference
DESCRIPTION:The “Genomics and Philosophy of Race” conference aims to foster a dialogue about race\, and\, in particular\, about relationships between ideas of race and modern genomics research. Four panels of experts and two keynote speakers will consider scientific\, historical\, sociological\, and philosophical questions: Does contemporary genomics inform and shift our classifications\, conceptualizations\, and consciousness of race? To what extent is race real? Which inferences\, if any\, about the body\, mind\, and culture might race and related concepts (e.g.\, ancestry and ethnicity) ground?

SUMMARY:The Birth of a Poet: William Everson Centennial
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial anniversary of the birth of one of California’s great treasures\, William Everson/Brother Antoninus: teacher\, shamanistic poet-in-residence at UCSC from 1970 to 1981\, famed hand-press printer\, advocate of an erotic\, earth-based spirituality and herald of the environmental revolution. \nWilliam Everson was born in Sacramento\, California in 1912 to Christian Science parents on a farm near Selma in the San Joaquin Valley. During the Depression\, he attended Fresno State College\, but soon dropped out to devote his life to poetry after discovering the works of Robinson Jeffers. Everson published his first book of verse\, We Are the Ravens in 1935. During World War II\, he declared himself a conscientious objector and was placed in a series of work camps in the Pacific Northwest\, where he first learned the art of handset printing and where he also completed The Residual Years\, which brought him national attention. His marriage did not survive the war. \nAfter the war\, Everson joined the San Francisco Renaissance movement of poets and anarchists surrounding Kenneth Rexroth. In 1951\, following his second failed marriage\, he entered the Dominican Order. Donning the traditional Dominican robe and hood\, he was a colorful and widely respected figure in the Beat literary movement for nearly two decades. He took the name of Brother Antoninus\, under which he became well known. In 1957\, after Kenneth Rexroth‘s “San Francisco Letter” appeared in the Evergreen Review\, Everson was regarded as one of the San Francisco Renaissance poets (the Beats) and he was tagged with the name of “The Beat Friar”. \nIn 1969\, having fallen in love with his third wife\, Susanna Rickson\, Everson renounced his Dominican calling. Two years later he took a position at UCSC\, where he taught a popular course called “Birth of a Poet” and founded the University’s Lime Kiln Press. He also established himself as an important literary theorist with the publication of Archetype West: The Pacific Coast as a Literary Region. \nIn 1991\, Everson was honored as Artist of the Year by the Santa Cruz County Arts Commission.

SUMMARY:A Tribute to Adrienne Rich
DESCRIPTION:A Tribute to Adrienne Rich\nIt was in 1973\, in the midst of Black and women’s liberation movements\, the Vietnam War\, and her own personal distress\, that Adrienne Rich wrote and published Diving into the Wreck\, which garnered her the National Book Award in 1974. Rich accepted the award on behalf of all women. In the decades that followed\, Rich’s poetry\, essays\, and books addressed issues of feminist politics\, lesbian experience\, and Jewish identity\, and deeply engaged the critical concerns of racial and imperial oppression\, war and environmental degradation. Relentless in her commitment to social justice for all peoples\, her work has enlightened and inspired. She is considered\, in the last half of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century\, one of our greatest American poets. In this tribute\, members of our campus community will read from her work. \n \nSponsored by Literature Department\, Feminist Studies Department\, Porter College\, Oakes College\, Cowell College\, Merrill College\, Colleges 9 & 10\, Stevenson College\, Center for Cultural Studies\, Living Writers & the Creative Writing Program.
