SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Matchstick for Survival: Indigenous Writing in the Russian Arctic
DESCRIPTION:As part of a new lecture series\, “Children’s Literature\, Cultural Preservation\, and Language Revitalization\,” the Global Childhood Media Research Focus Group invites you to a talk by Indigenous author Kseniia Bolshakova (Dolgan) entitled “Matchstick for Survival: Indigenous Writing in the Russian Arctic.” \nIndigenous author Kseniia Bolshakova will give a talk on her decolonial book The Frost Also Melts. The novel explores the fate of Arctic Indigenous nomads through the personal story of a child raised in a traditional reindeer-herding family in the tundra. The Frost Also Melts is about the forever that is becoming finite: permafrost\, tundra\, reindeer herding\, and native language. Both the child and adult voices of the author reflect in the novel on the far-reaching effects of ongoing colonization and assimilation. The original book is written in the Dolgan Indigenous language. The talk’s title refers to the fact that Kseniia Bolshakova’s book and all her work are like a matchstick\, trying to keep the dwindling flame of her people alive. \nKseniia Bolshakova is an Indigenous activist and writer. She is a member of the Dolgan Tribal community Iydyna\, born and raised in the Dolgan settlement and tundra of Popigai in the Russian Arctic. Kseniia serves as the Indigenous youth focal point for Eastern Europe\, the Russian Federation\, Central Asia\, and Transcaucasia at the United Nations. \nInterpretation for the discussion will be provided by Karina Sheifer\, a graduate student in the Department of Linguistics at UC Santa Barbara who works on endangered languages. \nZoom attendance link here \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Media Research Focus Group\, the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies\, the Comparative Literature Program\, the Department of Linguistics\, and the Graduate Center for Literary Research

SUMMARY:RFG Symposium: Intergenerational Dynamics: Undergraduate Research Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Intergenerational Dynamics is the second annual undergraduate research showcase sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center’s Research Focus Group on Global Childhood Ecologies. It features multidisciplinary presentations of undergraduate research related to childhood\, including senior honors thesis research in Comparative Literature by senior major Daian Martinez and research on Education by Lakshmi Garcia in the College of Creative Studies. The panel of presentations and subsequent discussion on the theme Intergenerational Dynamics will focus on dynamics between children and adults\, as shown in Anglophone and Chinese picturebooks researched by Daian Martinez and rhetoric in mathematics education for linguistically diverse language classrooms researched by Lakshmi Garcia. \nIntergenerational Dynamics: Undergraduate Research Showcase \nChair: Sara Pankenier Weld (Germanic and Slavic Studies\, UCSB) \nPanel Participants: \n“Little Adults: The Adult Presence in Chinese and Anglophone Children’s Picturebooks”\nDaian Michely Martinez ’24 (Comparative Literature\, UCSB) \n“Little Adults” focuses on picturebooks from both Anglophone and Chinese traditions to investigate the adult presence and underlying cultural values shown in text and image. Daian Martinez conducts a cross-cultural comparison to uncover nuances related to gender roles\, social responsibility\, authority figures\, and child-parent relationships. Employing the theoretical frameworks of aetonormativity\, cultural studies\, and narratology\, Martinez analyzes the dynamics of the adult presence within children’s literature. \n“The rhetoric of MLR’s (Mathematical Language Routines) for linguistically diverse California elementary schools”\nLakshmi Garcia ’25 (College of Creative Studies Writing and Literature\, UCSB) \nLakshmi Garcia’s research under Professor Sarah Roberts focuses on understanding the routinization of mathematics language routines (MLRs) in local Elementary schools. A “mathematical language routine” refers to a structured but adaptable teaching style with exercises designed to amplify\, assess\, and develop students’ language. MLRs are utilized as tools given to teachers to ensure their assigned curriculums are language accessible to students. Districts with large communities of multilingual learners most benefit from using MLRs\, which have been shown to integrate language and vocabulary development successfully through mathematical reasoning. This project conducts qualitative research through careful analysis of classroom observations to prepare educators for work in linguistically diverse schools. \nZoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Ecologies Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Symposium: Through Young Eyes: Undergraduate Research Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Through Young Eyes is an undergraduate research showcase sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center Research Focus Group on Global Childhood Ecologies\, as well as the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies and Comparative Literature Program. It features multidisciplinary presentations of thesis research related to childhood by senior majors Victoria Korotchenko in Russian and East European Studies\, Nicole Smirnoff in Comparative Literature\, and Zoie Orth in English. The panel of presentations and subsequent discussion will focus on children’s and young people’s agency and activism; construction and liberation; and active role as audience in order to offer a multidisciplinary examination of the co-creation of childhood and youth even in the face of opposing forces\, as shown by examples from history\, literature\, and culture. The event will take place in Phelps 6320\, while attendance via Zoom also will be possible for those who cannot attend in person. \nThrough Young Eyes: Undergraduate Research Showcase \nChair: Sara Pankenier Weld (Germanic and Slavic Studies\, UCSB) \nPanel Participants: \n“The Fate of the Motherland’s Children: Youth Action\, Trauma\, and Experiences”\nVictoria Korotchenko ‘23 (Russian and East European Studies\, UCSB) \nVictoria Korotchenko’s research is focused on children during the Russian Revolution (1917-1923)\, specifically the diversity of their experiences and participation within the tumult. Within her thesis\, she discusses their role as target\, activist\, victim\, and chronicler\, while simultaneously writing about the child as the protagonist within these stories\, rather than purely individuals who had the revolution thrust upon them. \nReframing the Flaneur: the Child and the City through Thresholds\, Windows\, and Paintings\nNicole Smirnoff ‘23 (Comparative Literature\, UCSB) \nLiterature of the flaneur is preoccupied with the representation of the city in its complexities and realities\, oftentimes applying its perspective toward the child. Nicole Smirnoff’s thesis follows the motif of the framed spaces to these child characters; exploring how the image of the child is constrained and set free\, constructed and construed\, and reflected and reimagined through the vignette of the frame. \nInto the Osemanverse: The Dynamics of Young Adult Literature\nZoie Orth ‘23 (English\, UCSB) \nWith her thesis\, Zoie Orth hopes to understand the current state of Young Adult Fiction and its readers\, framing YA literature as not just a genre\, but as a culture that is driven by—if not entirely dependent on—its audience’s unique relationships with the works that define it. The goal of her research has been to go beyond traditional scholarly approaches to literary analysis\, which tend to treat works as if they exist in a vacuum\, often ignoring the many other forces that affect its production and consumption. \nZoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Ecologies Research Focus Group\, Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies\, and Comparative Literature Program
