In this collage of story and song\, Jennifer Finney Boylan speculates on the life of Amelia Earhart after the crash.

From 2014-2018\, she was National Co-chair of GLAAD. \n\nThe Peggy Downes Baskin Ethics Lecture Series is a lively forum for the discussion and exploration of ethics-related challenges in human endeavors. The Ethics Lecture is made possible by the Peggy Downes Baskin Humanities Endowment for Interdisciplinary Ethics which enables the Humanities Division to promote a dialogue about ethics and ethics related challenges in an interdisciplinary setting. The endowment was established in honor of Peggy Downes Baskin’s longtime interest in ethical issues across the academic spectrum. \n\nJennifer Finney Boylan is THI’s 2025 Scholar-in-Residence and this signature event is part of THI’s 25th anniversary.

SUMMARY:Peter Galison - Time: Physics\, Film\, History
DESCRIPTION:Henri Poincaré’s and Albert Einstein’s reformulation of simultaneity was long seen as a development from imaginative thought experiments. But the all-too-material and the most abstract notions of time cross in essential ways (Swiss Patent Office\, Paris Bureau of Longitude). Galison explores this intersection in collaboration with the artist William Kentridge (“The Refusal of Time\,” 2012)\, pushing history\, physics\, and philosophy into a more associative-imaginative register. From there\, Galison turns to the 10\,000 year struggle to contain radioactive materials—a duration twice recorded in human history—and finally to the time of black holes\, and the image of the photon ring. \n\n \nPeter Galison is the Joseph Pellegrino University Professor in history of science and physics at Harvard University. He currently directs the Black Hole Initiative at Harvard\, a leading center for interdisciplinary research on black holes. His books include How Experiments End; Image and Logic: A Material Culture of Microphysics; Einstein’s Clocks\, Poincaré’s Maps; and\, with Lorraine Daston\, Objectivity. His latest feature film is Black Holes | The Edge of All We Know. \n\nNauenberg History of Science Lecture\nThe Nauenberg History of Science Lecture was established in honor of Michael Nauenberg\, a founding faculty member in the Physics Department at UCSC who came to the campus in 1966. During his distinguished academic career\, he contributed to a remarkably broad range of fields\, including particle physics\, condensed matter physics\, astrophysics\, chaos theory\, fluid dynamics\, and the history of physics in the 17th-18th centuries. \nAmongst Professor Nauenberg’s passions\, he deeply believed in the importance of interdisciplinary scholarship connecting the sciences with the humanities. Following his retirement in 1994\, he pursued his long-standing interests in the history of science\, writing books and articles about Joseph Banks\, Robert Hooke\, Christiaan Huygens\, and Isaac Newton. The Nauenberg History of Science Lecture series aims to bring the best historians of science to UCSC to share the importance of this interdisciplinary work with faculty\, students\, and interested community members. You can support the series by contributing here.\n \nThe Nauenberg History of Science Lecture is presented by the UC Santa Cruz Emeriti Association and co-sponsored by Crown College\, the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics (SCIPP)\, the Arts Research Institute\, and the History Department.
