SUMMARY:Symposium: Charting the Library's Future
DESCRIPTION:Program: \n10:00-10:30am\nWelcome and Opening Remarks by Chancellor George Blumenthal and University Librarian Elizabeth Cowell \n  \n10:30-12:00pm\nPanel Discussion \nMacKenzie Smith\, University Librarian at UC Davis\nExpanding Research Support in University Libraries \nAcademic libraries’ research support is inherently interdisciplinary (or omnidisciplinary) so they are uniquely positioned to expand those services to include common modern research tools and methods\, such as spatial and data science\, informatics and analytics\, writing and programming. Providing central\, democratically accessible facilities\, instruction\, and expert support for these essential modern research skills is a natural role for libraries while increasing their value to the universities they serve. \nGünter Waibel\, Associate Vice Provost and Executive Director of the California Digital Library\nThis Magic Moment: Are We Coming Together\, or Falling Apart? \nAbstract: What kind of a library does a globally connected faculty working on the grand challenges of our time need? The recent election has sparked a public debate about factual information\, the scientific method and intellectual freedom; it has also deepened the academy’s resolve to uphold those core values. At the same time\, our blue planet faces grand challenges that become tractable only through collective and collaborative action. Both faculty and librarians are striving to respond by working across traditional organizational and/or geopolitical boundaries. The UC system\, and the UC libraries within it\, are a microcosm of a community finding a collective response\, and a case-study in an experiment to go further together. (Examples illustrating these dynamics might came from the national response to safeguarding federal research data\, and the UC libraries strategy to realize our goal of a fully open access future.) \nJeffrey MacKie-Mason\, University Librarian at UC Berkeley\nBringing Together People\, Information and Technology: Connected Learning \nAstract: University libraries always have been providers of public goods and gateways to discovery. They amassed collections of millions of books and scholarly articles to share with all faculty and students\, who could not afford to do so individually. New learners coming through the doors had transcendent — often ecstatic — discovery experiences that fueled individual growth\, and social and scientific progress. We should continue to provide public goods to excite the passions and open the eyes\, but the information environment has changed drastically and so must the learning environments and experiences. We must create connected learning spaces as open-to-all gateways before students reach specialized labs and facilities limited to their choice of major. These spaces must connect people\, information and technology to support collaborative and active learning. The public goods we provide should include not just books and articles (and videos and maps and…) but also new information technologies most students can’t afford for themselves (e.g.\, virtual reality gear\, data visualization systems\, programmable 3-D scanners\, etc.). And we need to provide experts to help them find those head-exploding discoveries that open their eyes to the Age of Information. \n  \n12:00-1:00pm:\nLunch provided for all registered attendees \n  \n1:00-2:30pm:\nLightning Talks and Discussion sessions \nThe Changing Practices of Scholarly Work \nSylvanna Falcón\, Professor of Latin American and Latino Studies\nDanielle Crawford\, Graduate Student in Literature and former CART Fellow\nJody Greene\, Professor of Literature\, Feminist Studies\, and History of Consciousness\, and director of the Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning (CITL)\nChristy Caldwell\, Research Support Services Librarian

SUMMARY:Introducing Contemplative Approaches to Higher Education: A Public Roundtable with Leaders in the Field
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.” \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. \nSaturday\, April 16 @ 9am-5pm\nContemplative Pedagogy Symposium\nA day-long Symposium will follow on Saturday\, April 16th. We’ll read central texts in the field of Contemplative Pedagogy and discuss them with our panel of experts. If you would like to participate in the symposium\, please email ihr@ucsc.edu. Click here for more info on the Symposium. \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. A practitioner of meditation since 1980\, he speaks internationally on contemplative education\, synesthesia\, meditation\, and the brain. \nContemplative Approaches to Higher Education are some of the most exciting and fast-growing developments in post-secondary education in the US.\nTo see the kind of work being done by some of the leading national centers for Contemplative Approaches\, please visit the following websites: \nThe Association for Contemplative Mind in Higher Education         \nUniversity of Virginia Contemplative Sciences Center                      \nBrown University Contemplative Studies Initiative                           \nUniversity of Michigan Program in Creativity and Consciousness Studies       \nNaropa University Contemplative Education Program                       \nSponsors\nInstitute for Humanities Research\, Contemplative Pedagogy Research Cluster\, Center for Public Philosophy\, Bill Ladusaw\, Literature Department\, Philosophy Department\, Graduate Division\, Porter College\, Oakes College\, College Eight\, Social Sciences Division.

SUMMARY:Modeling Culture: 3D Archaeology and the Future of the Past
DESCRIPTION:Organizers:\nElaine Sullivan\, UC Santa Cruz\nJ. Cameron Monroe\, UC Santa Cruz\n  \nConference Theme:\nThe past decade has witnessed a dramatic surge in the availability and use of digital technologies in Archaeology\, where the increasing power and declining cost of computing technology has transformed the way we think about collecting\, analyzing\, and presenting archaeological data. While many technologies have been adopted and adapted into the field\, the potential for 3D modeling is still being explored. This conference asks leading innovators in the use of 3D research methods to present and evaluate the impact and future of this new technology on the study of the past. \nSpeakers:\nMichael Ashley\, Center for Digital Archaeology\nEdward González-Tennant\, Digital Heritage Interactive\nSusan Kuzminsky\, UC Santa Cruz\nNicola Lercari\, UC Merced\nTom Levy\, UC San Diego\nBernard K. Means\, Virginia Commonwealth University\nRachel Opitz\, Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies\nJohn Rick\, Stanford University\nElaine Sullivan\, UC Santa Cruz\nWilleke Wendrich\, UC Los Angeles \nKeynote Address by Ruth Tringham\, UC Berkeley\n  \nAdmission is FREE and open to the public. Advance registration is required: Register for the Conference\n  \nCall For Digital Presentations:\nIn addition to the above speakers\, we invite submissions for a small number of digital presentations focusing on methodological issues in 3D archaeology. These presentations will be presented in a digital “poster-session” in which presenters will use a devoted widescreen LCD. As such\, we discourage traditional powerpoint presentations or simple posters\, but rather encourage presentations that will make maximum use of the flexibility afforded by a digital presentation mode. We particularly encourage submissions from graduate students\, and small travel stipend is available to defray costs for graduate student presenters. To ensure full consideration\, abstracts should be submitted online by February 19th using the link below. \nSubmit an Abstract for the Digital Poster Session

SUMMARY:Michael Ashley: "Mukurtu CMS: Differential Access for the Ethical Stewardship of Cultural and Digital Heritage"
DESCRIPTION:Try and recall a family secret\, or a cherished memory shared between you and a parent or sibling. Now imagine holding on to that memory so that it could be shared with your descendants in 20 years\, or 200. How would you preserve it\, in what form? Who has access to it now\, and how will that memory be held and transferred from generation to generation? From a single moment to the wider experiences of communities\, oral histories and endangered languages\, the intimate interchanges that define codes and protocols for sharing do not easily translate to the digital exchange of the world wide web. In this discussion\, we will look at where we’re failing and succeeding to connect with indigenous priorities for differential access to cultural content\, and what this means for all of us in developing informed exchanges for the digital humanities. We’ll explore Mukurtu CMS\, a free and open source platform designed specifically to address some of these challenges and how community based agile software development can help to humanize the Internet. \nMichael Ashley\, CEO\, Center for Digital Archaeology & Director of Development\, Murkurtu CMS. Dr. Michael Ashley is Chief Executive Officer at the Center for Digital Archaeology (CoDA)\, a non-profit company affiliated with UC Berkeley that creates and leverages data management technologies for the preservation and sharing of cultural heritage. He is developing Codifi\, an innovative mobile solution for turning buried content into discoverable\, data-driven stories. Michael is the Director of Development of Mukurtu CMS\, an open source content management solution for Indigenous communities to share\, license and curate their digital heritage. He received his Ph.D. at UC Berkeley in 2004\, where he went on as faculty and staff to co-found several initiatives\, including the award winning Open Knowledge and the Public Interest (OKAPI)\, and the Media Vault Program\, a digital preservation and access framework for the university’s museums and archives. An archaeological photographer by training\, Michael was the Media Team lead for the Çatalhöyük Research Project for 7 years. \n  \n\n  \nPlease join the IHR Digital Humanities Research Cluster and the University Library for a series of interactive lectures focused on “Digital Humanities & Cultural Heritage.” This inaugural speaker series will highlight digital projects from across the humanities and enable lively discussion about the role of the digital in preserving\, building\, and making accessible cultural materials from around the world. \nNo digital skills required. Contact digitalhumanities@ucsc.edu for more information.\nFollow us at @DH_UCSC and start a conversation with #DHUCSC \n  \n\n  \nEVENT VIDEO: \n \nEVENT PHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n
