SUMMARY:Faculty Research Lecture with Sandra Chung: “Language Through the Lens of Diversity”
DESCRIPTION:Academic Senate 51st Annual Faculty Research Lecture Honors:\nProfessor Sandra Chung \n  \n“Language Through the Lens of Diversity.” \nThe ease and efficiency with which children acquire their first language(s) reveals that the capacity to know and use language is deeply human. It also raises the possibility that all languages have the same design–universal characteristics that make language acquisition possible. Are these views challenged by the great diversity of the world’s languages? In this talk\, Sandra Chung explores this question from the perspective of Chamorro\, an understudied language spoken in Micronesia. She suggests that while language diversity is real\, language universals emerge when ‘small’ languages are investigated in the same depth as first-world languages. \n  \nAbout the Faculty Research Lecture: The Faculty Research Lecture started in 1967. Lecturers are nominated by the Committee on Faculty Research Lecture based on a distinguished record in research and asked to deliver a lecture upon a topic of their choice.

Coming of age in Birmingham\, Alabama during the social ferment of the civil rights era\, the murder of two close childhood friends in the 1963 Sunday School bombing crystallized within Fania’s passionate commitment to social transformation. For the next decades\, she was active in the civil rights\, Black liberation\, women’s\, prisoners’\, peace\, socialist\, anti-imperialist\, anti-racial violence and anti-apartheid movements. After receiving her law degree from University of California\, Berkeley in 1979\, Fania practiced almost 27 years as a civil rights trial lawyer. During the late 1990’s\, she entered a Ph.D. program in indigenous studies at the California Institute of Integral Studies\, and apprenticed with traditional healers around the globe\, particularly in Africa. Fania has since taught Restorative Justice and Indigenous Peacemaking at graduate and undergraduate levels.  Founding Director of RJOY\, Fania has also served as counsel to the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. Honors include the Ubuntu Service to Humanity award\, the Maloney award recognizing exceptional contributions in youth-based restorative justice\, World Trust’s Healing Justice award. She was recently named by the Los Angeles Times as a New Civil Rights Leader of the 21st Century. Fania is also a mother\, grandmother\, dancer\, and practitioner of yoga. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAbout the Peggy Downes Baskin Endowed Lecture in Ethics: \nPeggy Downes Baskin\, PhD is an author\, university professor\, photograph and philanthropist. She graduated from Vassar Magna cum laude in 1953. Thirty years later she earned a doctoral degree in politics from the Claremont Graduate school of Government. She went on to infuse her professional career at Santa Clara University and The University of California\, Santa Cruz with her core interests\, originating courses on The Politics of Aging\, Women & Power\, and Presidential Management Styles. \nPeggy and her husband Jack Baskin generously endowed a humanities fund in honor of her longtime interest in ethical issues across the disciplines\, the Peggy Downes Baskin Humanities Endowment for Interdisciplinary Ethics. “There are so many areas in which ethical problems arise—in journalism\, politics\, medicine—and the endowment emphasizes the need to address these issues in a cross-disciplinary context\,” Peggy said.

Passionately committed to social justice\, she identified strongly with the three great social movements of her time: socialism\, civil rights and feminism. They shaped her as an organizer\, intellectual\, and teacher who refused hierarchies while embracing and delighting in differences. She crossed boundaries wherever she encountered them—between teachers and students\, academics and activists\, young and old\, rich and poor\, gay and straight\, black and white. Her emphasis on commonalities was crucial to the success of the progressive communities she created and sustained throughout her life…”  Read more. \nRead Frantz’ obituary in the Santa Cruz Sentinel here.

The title of her talk is “Organized Abandonment & Organized Violence: Devolution & the Police.” Feminist studies professor Bettina Aptheker\, co–chair of the UC Presidential Chair with literature professor Karen Yamashita\, explained why they decided to bring Gilmore to campus. \n“Several years ago\, Ruth Wilson Gilmore wrote a timely and significant book\, ‘Golden Gulag: Prisons\, Surplus\, Crisis\, and Opposition in Globalizing California\,’ published by the University of California Press\,” said Aptheker. “Gilmore\, a well-known public intellectual\, documents in this book the ways in which California embarked upon the largest prison-building project in its and the nation’s history. Her work critically examines the political and economic forces that combined to propel such an ominous course.” Aptheker added that despite a crime rate that has been steadily declining for decades\, California continues to incarcerate\, even in the face of federal court orders to reduce its overcrowded and repressive system. “Most affected by these rates of incarceration are men and women of color\,” Aptheker noted.

SUMMARY:Utopian Dreaming: 50 years of Imagined Futures in California and at UCSC
DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, UCSC is celebrating its 50th anniversary\, and Ernest Callenbach’s Ecotopia its 40th. Both are products of a fertile period of ferment across California\, during the 1960s and 1970s. Why has California been such a fertile and fruitful site for “Utopian Dreaming\,” in film\, fiction\, media\, design\, architecture\, mobility\, electronics\, intentional communities\,ecology and environment\, counter-culture and social movements? What kinds of futures has California come to represent? What has been the role of UCSC in these imaginaries of the future. Does California remain a Promised Land\, or is it a Land of Squandered Promise?\nOn November 6th and 7th\, 2015\, join scholars\, students\, observers and utopian dreamers \, in a conference to celebrate those anniversaries and explore visions of the future that have emerged from California and UCSC about California and UCSC.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Hillman: “Sworn to Protect:  Sexual Assault in the Military”
DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz / UC Hastings Social Justice Speaker Series presents Elizabeth Hillman\n“Sworn to Protect: Sexual Assault in the Military” \nFew legal issues have riveted public attention more than sexual assault in the military. This presentation will address the controversies that have erupted over a problem that is often misunderstood and rarely reported. Should commanders control the decision to prosecute? Should each branch of service retain its own investigators\, prosecutors\, defense counsel\, and appellate court? What is the impact of providing legal counsel to victims? How should we evaluate legal outcomes? \nThis talk will examine this unique challenge to the nature of the American military justice system; the effect of gender dynamics and demographics; and best practices and prospects for improving the response systems to sexual assault in civilian and military arenas. Join the conversation at #UCsjss \nOPEN TO THE PUBLIC\nPlease register by visiting: http://3plus3.ucsc.edu/sjss\n$5 ticket includes parking*\nThere are a limited number of free tickets available to UCSC Students. These UCSC student tickets can be picked up in person at the UCSC Ticket Office\, which is located at the Theater Arts Center. \n1 unit of MCLE credit\, Elimination of Bias in the Legal Profession\, will be provided. \nAbout Dean Elizabeth Hillman:\nDean Hillman serves on the Response Systems Panel (RSP)\, an independent panel authorized by Congress in 2013 to study and make recommendations regarding the investigation\, prosecution\, and adjudication of military sexual assault\, and is the chair of an RSP subcommittee asked to compare civilian and military systems of responding to adult sexual assault. She is also a director of the National Institute of Military Justice\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting fairness in\, and public understanding of\, military justice worldwide\, and co-legal director of the Palm Center\, a public policy research institute that played a key role in ending the “don’t ask/don’t tell” policy of discriminating against gay men and lesbians in the U.S. armed forces. \nAbout the Social Justice Speaker Series:\nThe UC Hastings Social Justice Speaker Series is a product of the collaboration between UC Hastings College of the Law and UC Santa Cruz. Both campuses launched a joint “3+3 BA/JD” program in 2014.

SUMMARY:Models of Mediterranean Modernity: The Perspective From the Longue Duree
DESCRIPTION:The UC Santa Cruz Emeriti Group presents the 2014 spring Emeriti Faculty Lecture “Models of Mediterranean Modernity: The Perspective From the Longue Duree” \nViewed from a global perspective\, the Mediterranean region has enjoyed a common historical experience since 1500. Increasingly semi-peripheral with respect to the world capitalist system\, and characterized by weak states\, delayed or muffled class formation\, agrarian backwardness and the persistence of pastoralism\, the coming to modernity of the Mediterranean foreshadowed the historical experience of the Third World in its unity and diversity. \nEdmund “Terry” Burke III is Research Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Burke is the author of The Ethnographic State: France and the Invention of Moroccan Islam (forthcoming\, California\, 2014). He is the co-editor of The Environment and World History (UC Press\, 2009) and Environmental Imaginaries of the Middle East (Athens OH: Ohio University\, 2011)\, and Genealogies of Orientalism (Nebraska\, 2008).

SUMMARY:Billy Collins: "Aimless Love"
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz is delighted to welcome two-term U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins for a reading and signing of his new collection\, Aimless Love: New and Selected Poems. Local poet and artist Gary Young\, who teaches at UCSC and was Santa Cruz County’s first Poet Laureate\, will introduce Mr. Collins. \nBilly Collins is famous for conversational\, witty poems that welcome readers with humor but often slip into quirky\, tender or profound observation on the everyday\, reading and writing\, and poetry itself. Aimless Love combines more than fifty new poems with selections from four previous books—Nine Horses\, The Trouble with Poetry\, Ballistics\, and Horoscopes for the Dead. By turns playful\, ironic\, and serious\, Collins’s poetry captures the nuances of everyday life while leading the reader into zones of inspired wonder. In the poet’s own words\, he hopes that his poems “begin in Kansas and end in Oz.” Touching on the themes of love\, loss\, joy\, and poetry itself\, these poems showcase the best work of this “poet of plenitude\, irony\, and Augustan grace” (The New Yorker).\n  \nThis offsite event will take place at UCSC Music Recital Hall. Parking is $3\, but is located next to the venue and is easily accessible. \nPeople with disabilities needing assistance are asked to contact us in advance: email bookshopevents@yahoo.com or call 46-3232\nPLEASE NOTE: Tickets will be sold by row\, with open seating within each row. If you are planning on attending this event with others\, you will want to purchase tickets as a group if you’d like to sit next to each other.\n  \nTICKETS: $28.30\, includes one ticket to the event & one copy of Aimless Love. \nPurchase Tickets\n  \nAuthor photo courtesy of Suzannah Gilman

SUMMARY:Helene Moglen: "From Frankenstein to Facebook: Reflections on the Dissolution of the Humanities"
DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz Emeriti group presents an Emeriti Faculty Lecture cosponsored by the Center for Cultural Studies and the Department of Literature \nAre accounts of our love affairs with our machines stories of imprisonment or empowerment?

In addition to the books and articles she has published in the area of literary studies\, she has written about literacy\, pedagogy\, competition among academic women\, power\, and the erosion of the humanities. She is the author of The Trauma of Gender: A Feminist Theory of the English Novel (UC Press 2001) and the co-editor of Female Subjects in Black and White: Race\, Psychoanalysis\, Feminism (UC Press\, 1997). \nFREE parking is available in the Performing Arts lot.

SUMMARY:Gail Hershatter: "Rural Women\, Memory\, and China’s Collective Past"
DESCRIPTION:The 47th Annual Faculty Research Lecture will be given by Distinguished Professor of History\, Gail Hershatter\, on Tuesday February 12th\, 2013 at 7pm at the Music Recital hall in the Performing Arts Complex. A reception in the lobby will immediately follow the lecture. Doors open at 6:30pm. This event is free and open to the public. Parking $4. Doors open at 6:30pm \nWhat can we learn about the Chinese revolution by placing a doubly marginalized group—rural women—at the center of the inquiry? In this talk\, Gail Hershatter explores changes in the lives of women in rural Shaanxi province during the early decades of state socialism\, the 1950s and 1960s. She suggests that we think of gender not as a structure\, but rather as a fractured\, unpredictable\, and expansive terrain. Beginning with the memories of a former child daughter-in-law turned village activist\, she asks whether rural Chinese women had a revolution\, and if so\, when and what sort of revolution it was. Such questions encourage us to consider others that preoccupy historians: when is gender a useful category of historical analysis? How is the historical record shaped in interactions with the present moment? What counts as an event? Who gets to decide?

SUMMARY:Dr. Karan Singh\, "Nava Vedanta: Ancient Indian Philosophy of Non-dualism & its Modern Transformation."
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Karan Singh\nDistinguished Indian statesman and diplomat Dr. Karan Singh will deliver the 2011 Satyajit Ray Lecture at UC Santa Cruz on Saturday\, September 24\, at 5:30 p.m. in the Music Recital Hall. \nCurrently the president of the Indian Council of Cultural Relations in New Delhi\, Singh is the last Maharaja of Kashmir\, and served as its governor for 18 years. \nHe was a member of Indira Gandhi’s cabinet when she was prime minister\, and has also served as Indian ambassador to the United States. \nRecognized as one of India’s outstanding thinkers and leaders\, Singh is the author of numerous books and has lectured widely—both in India and abroad–on political science\, philosophy\, education\, religion and culture. \nSingh will speak on the topic: “Nava Vedanta: Ancient Indian Philosophy of Non-dualism & its Modern Transformation.” \nThe lecture will be preceded by a screening of renowned Indian Director Satyajit Ray’s last movie: Agantuk (The Stranger) at 3 p.m. in the UCSC Media Theater. \nThe New York Times has described the film as “a gentle\, exquisitely realized comedy\, beautifully observed\, sweet\, and enriching\,” and the New Yorker called it “ a graceful comedy made in a serene\, leisurely classical style.” \nThe London Times noted: “Ray’s eye for detail and the old magic of his genius can’t let go of The Stranger\, a tour-de-force. The camera is wielded like a conductor’s baton as it strikes chords deep in the mind.” \nThe lecture and film screening are presented by The Satyajit Ray Film and Study Center (Ray FASC)–a research center in the Humanities Division at UC Santa Cruz. The center is dedicated to the preservation of Satyajit Ray’s cinematic\, literary and artistic work. \nUnder the direction of founding director Dilip Basu\, Ray FASC has a collection of 32 of Ray’s 36 films\, including 22 fully restored prints. \nThe restoration work is conducted at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles—the same academy that honored Ray with a special Oscar in 2002 for his lifetime achievements as a filmmaker. \nBasu noted that film prints from Ray FASC are now screened at major museums and film festivals around the world. \n“During the past year\, we have curated complete retrospectives at film museums in Munich\, Zurich\, Basel\, London\, Paris\, Singapore and at the Lincoln Center in New York\,” said Basu. “We expect to continue to have similar global reach in the foreseeable future.” \nBasu noted that Ray FASC also hosts scholars\, students\, and film makers who visit its facility for research and study. \nA professor of history at UC Santa Cruz\, Basu also teaches an annual upper division class titled  “Cinema and History: Film Author Satyajit Ray.” \nFor tickets and/or more information about the Satyajit Ray Film and Study Collection\, go to:  http://satyajitray.ucsc.edu\, call 831-459-4012 or e-mail satyajit@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Bettina Aptheker: "The Passion and Pageantry of Shirley Graham {Du Bois}: Composer & Playwright\, 1920s-1930s"
DESCRIPTION:Shirley Graham {Du Bois} (1896-1977) had a successful early career as composer\, performer and playwright that included her formal studies at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music\, Yale University\, and the near completion of a Ph D at NYU. In 1932 her opera\, “Tom-Tom” for which she wrote the libretto and composed the music\, was performed as part of the Cleveland (Ohio) Summer Opera Festival to a capacity audience of 15\,000 on opening night; the opera was a sensation. She later won a coveted two-year Young Playwrights Fellowship to Yale\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, and became the Director of Negro Theater for the Federal Theater Project in Chicago in the 1930s. This presentation will examine the passion and pageantry of her work\, focusing in particular on her operatic/composing career and its historical significance. Unable to pursue her artistic life because she was a single mother with two young children in the midst of the Depression\, Graham went onto work in a variety of race-related and increasingly radical political projects\, and became the very successful author of young adult biographies of famous Black Americans in the 1940s and 1950s. She married Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois in 1951. In addition to extensive archival work\, this presentation is based upon Aptheker’s friendship with the Du Bois’. \nThis colloquium is presented at the invitation of the Music Department; all are welcome to attend.
