SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - VOCES Drafting Stages with Melissa Rosario
DESCRIPTION:Drafting Stages is a series of intimate conversations with speakers working inside and outside of academia and at different points in their careers about writing as an evolving and non-linear process. Focusing on conditions\, inspirations\, and methods\, each speaker will offer personal insight into their processes and the messiness and vulnerabilities of drafting stages. \nThe invited speaker for this session is Dr. Melissa Rosario (she/they)\, a mixed-race queer nonbinary femme who lives and works in Puerto Rico. Drawing on their training as an anthropologist and her own journey of self-healing\, Melissa founded and leads the Center for Embodied Pedagogy and Action (CEPA). CEPA is a practice-based initiative dedicated to the decolonization of mind-body-spirit of organizers\, artists\, and healers. It is a space for diaspora and island-based Boricuas and close allies who want to co-create a culture of reclamation that transforms inheritances and patterns into collective liberation. They understand it to be a tool for healing as it allows us to create new possibilities and agreements for our future while also opening space to speak truths that have remained on the margins of our awareness. She has published in Anthropology and Humanism\, AnthroNow\, and Curriculum Inquiry and is a co-author of Decolonizing for Organizers\, a practice-based manual for activists unlearning and healing from colonization. Her first book is under review and is tentatively titled Another Country: Reclaiming Freedom in Puerto Rico. \n \nThe conversation will be facilitated by Dr. Gina Athena Ulysse\, Professor in the Feminist Studies Department at UCSC. This event is presented by GANAS Graduate Pathways and VOCES and is co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute. \n  \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series \nJoin us for the seventh year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by The Humanities Institute. We meet monthly to discuss possible career paths for PhDs\, internship possibilities\, grant/fellowships\, work/life balance\, elements of style\, online identity issues\, and much\, much more.

SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - Community as Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:Community as Rebellion offers a meditation on creating liberatory spaces for students and faculty of color within academia. Through personal experiences and analytical reflections\, García Peña  invites us—in particular Black\, Indigenous\, Latinx\, and Asian women—to engage in liberatory practices of boycott\, abolition\, and radical community-building to combat the academic world’s tokenizing and exploitative structures. She argues that the classroom is key to freedom-making in the university\, urging teachers to consider activism and social justice as central to what she calls “teaching in freedom”: a progressive form of collective learning that prioritizes the subjugated knowledge\, silenced histories\, and epistemologies from the Global South and Indigenous\, Black\, and brown communities. By teaching in and for freedom\, we not only acknowledge the harm that the university has inflicted on our persons and our ways of knowing since its inception\, but also create alternative ways to be\, create\, live\, and succeed through our work. \nCommunity as Rebellion can be accessed here. Please ensure you are logged into your McHenry Library Account. \nDr. Lorgia García-Peña is a writer\, activist and scholar who specializes in Latinx Studies with a focus on Black Latinidades. Her work is concerned with the ways in which antiblackness and xenophobia intersect the Global North producing categories of exclusion that lead to violence and erasure. Through her writing and teaching\, Dr. García Peña insists on highlighting the knowledge\, cultural\, social and political contributions of people who have been silenced from traditional archives. She is the author of three books \, the award-winning The Borders of Dominicanidad: Race\, Nations and Archives of Contradictions (Duke\, 2016) which was translated and published in Spanish by Editorial Bonó in 2020; Translating Blackness: Latinx Colonialities in Global Perspective (Duke\, 2022) and Community as Rebellion (Haymarket\, 2022). Additionally\, her work has been covered in several publications including the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, The New Yorker\, The Boston Review and Harper’s Bazaar. She has appeared on CNN\, BBC\, MSNBC\, Univision and Telemundo and is a regular contributor to NACLA and Asterix Journals. \nAn engaged scholar committed to liberating education and bridging the gaps that separate the communities she comes from (Black\, immigrant\, working) and the university\, Dr. García Peña is also a co-founder of Freedom University Georgia\, a school that provides college instruction to undocumented students and the co-director of Archives of Justice a transnational digital archive project that centers the life of people who identify as Black\, queer and migrant. She has been widely recognized for her public facing work: in 2022 she received the Angela Davis Prize for Public Scholarship\, in 2021 the Margaret Casey Foundation named her a Freedom Scholar\, and in 2017 the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) presented her a Disobedience Award for the co-founding of Freedom University. Additionally\, her scholarship has been supported by the Ford Foundation\, The Johns Hopkins University African Diaspora Studies Postdoctoral Fellowship and the Future of Minority Studies Fellowship. García-Peña received a PhD in American Culture from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor and an M.A. in Latin American and Latino Literatures from Rutgers University. Currently\, she serves as the Mellon Professor and Chair of the Department in Studies of Race\, Colonialism and Diaspora at Tufts University. \nPlease RSVP using your UCSC email address: \nLoading… \nThis event is sponsored by The Humanities Institute and co-sponsored by the Dolores Huerta Research Center for the Americas. \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series \nJoin us for the seventh year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted by The Humanities Institute.
