SUMMARY:Dean's Lecture Series: Healing the Web of Life: Autonomous Transition Design as Political-Ontological Praxis
DESCRIPTION:In the face of deepening social and ecological crises\, design is emerging as a vital domain of praxis that engages these crises by imagining and organizing alternative life worlds. This confers upon design/ing an ineluctable ontological-political dimension. This lecture outlines the constructive reorientation of design as a praxis meant to heal the web of life\, and describes the early stages of application of what we are calling “autonomous transition design” in the Cauca River Valley in Southwest Colombia. \nSponsored by the Dean of Social Sciences and the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center

SUMMARY:Social Securities Talk: Environmental Justice as Freedom
DESCRIPTION:This talk argues that environmental justice movements are freedom struggles. Beginning with the starting point that unjust environments are rooted in racism\, capitalism\, militarism\, colonialism\, land theft from Native peoples\, and gender violence\, the talk frames environmental justice as particularly significant in the moment of danger that we are currently facing. It is drawn from a forthcoming book that examines activism at Standing Rock\, in Flint and the Central Valley\, and in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Maria. \nJulie Sze is Professor of American Studies at UC Davis. She is also the founding director of the Environmental Justice Project for UC Davis’ John Muir Institute for the Environment. Sze’s research investigates environmental justice and environmental inequality; culture and environment; race\, gender and power; and urban/community health and activism. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Social Securities series and the Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment

SUMMARY:Social Securities Talk: Teaching the People: Enlightenment and the American Republic
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, David Marshall will illuminate contemporary debates about the value of the liberal arts and sciences and public investment in higher education by examining Enlightenment arguments for both liberal education and public education in the early American Republic\, and the 19th-century Land Grant movement\, which resulted in the establishment of the University of California as a “public trust” in the California State Constitution. These two Enlightenment moments resonate today as we try to make the case for accessibility\, the liberal arts\, and the public research university in the face of privatization and pressure to focus on vocational and pre-professional training\, and applied research. \nDavid Marshall is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at UC Santa Barbara\, where he serves as Executive Vice Chancellor.  His research focuses on eighteenth-century fiction\, aesthetics\, and moral philosophy. Past President of the National Humanities Alliance\, which advances national humanities policy in the areas of research\, education\, preservation\, and public programs\, David Marshall has lectured widely on issues in higher education and public education. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Social Securities series and the Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment

SUMMARY:Film Screening: In the Shadow of the Moon
DESCRIPTION:2019 marks the 50th anniversary of NASA’s Apollo program. The mission’s crewed flights began in 1968 with the first lunar circumnavigation; on July 20\, 1969 Neil Armstrong became the first human to step foot on another planet. By the end of 1972 Apollo’s funding was cut short and NASA’s moon explorations were over. From 1969 to 1972 there were eight crewed missions and 12 astronauts walked on the surface of the moon\, exploring and doing scientific work “for the benefit of all mankind.” This award-winning documentary explores remastered archival footage and the recollections and commentary of almost every astronaut alive in 2007 regarding their participation in the Apollo program. Note the determination and awe that echoes through the memories of these unique Americans. Learn what they thought about the tumultuous decade of the 1960s and how their accomplishment seemed to bring the world together\, ever so briefly. Hear what they say about humans going back to the moon and beyond\, a feat that is once again on NASA’s radar. The film will be introduced by 2018/2019 Center for Cold War Studies fellow\, Christina Roberts\, a PhD student in the History of Science program at UCSB. Light refreshments served.

SUMMARY:Social Securities Talk: Why Can’t Feminists Change the Law? The History and Politics of Welfare Reform in the Modern U.S.
DESCRIPTION:In her talk\, Kornbluh will reveal how welfare reform is shaped by “intersectional sexism\,” the gendered and racialized dimensions of legal activity that are evident\, persistent\, yet ignored by mainstream policy makers and Washington\, D.C.-based intellectuals. Taking as her example the failed passage of a feminist welfare reauthorization bill in the early 2000s\, Kornbluh will discuss why the Democratic Party resisted embracing this initiative and explore the crucial role feminist scholars and activists have to play in understanding the details of policy and law in the intersectional context of gender\, race\, poverty\, and inequality.  A reception will follow. \nFelicia Kornbluh is Associate Professor of History and Gender\, Sexuality\, and Women’s Studies at the University of Vermont.  She is the author of The Battle for Welfare Rights: Poverty and Politics in Modern America (2007) and\, with Gwendolyn Mink\, Ensuring Poverty: Welfare Reform in Feminist Perspective (2018). \nSponsored by the IHC’s Social Securities series\, the Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment\, and the Blum Center for Global Poverty Alleviation and Sustainable Development\, and the Hull Chair in Feminist Studies

SUMMARY:Outlaw(ed) Intellectuals: Critiquing Structures of Power from Within
DESCRIPTION:A group of formerly incarcerated and system impacted graduate students have organized a lineup of formerly incarcerated scholars\, activists and healers to convene for a day of dialogue\, learning\, and solution building on the topic of the impact of mass incarceration and higher education. We intend to offer this colloquium as a space for interested students to engage and learn more from experts in the topic. As formerly incarcerated and system impacted folks ourselves\, we recognize that those that should be guiding these dialogues- true experts- are those that have experienced the long reach of incarceration in its various forms. We see the urgent need for this critical convening on campus and hope to see formerly incarcerated students/community members\, system impacted students/community members\, and interested folks from the campus community in attendance. Our keynote speaker will be Dr. Joy James\, Professor of Africana Studies at Williams College. She is the author of several books including Resisting State Violence: Radicalism\, Race\, and Gender in U.S. Culture and she is the editor of Imprisoned Intellectuals: America’s Political Prisoners Write on Life\, Liberation\, and Rebellion.

SUMMARY:Social Securities Talk: Embracing Shari'a: Women\, Law\, and Activism in Somalia
DESCRIPTION:Gender equality is a key principle of human rights and political security. But how are gender equality and human security ensured in societies struggling with legacies of civil war and political violence? This lecture reveals how\, in a country where many observers presume law and security are absent\, women are turning to Islam’s foundational sources—the Qur’an and the Hadith—to promote women’s rights and human and political security.  A reception will follow. \nMark Fathi Massoud is Associate Professor of Politics and Legal Studies at UC Santa Cruz and the author of Law’s Fragile State: Colonial\, Authoritarian\, and Humanitarian Legacies in Sudan. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Social Securities series and the Walter H.

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: “I just needed a place to sleep”: Sex Offense\, Housing Insecurity\, and the Value of Surplus Sex
DESCRIPTION:Registered sex offenders frequently report experiencing homelessness due to their stigmatized and heavily policed status. As a result\, many have to rely on various sectors of the informal economy to survive in a system that is designed to keep them in perpetual motion while also demanding they be visible\, discoverable\, and traceable to a fixed location for public safety. In this talk\, Terrance Wooten interrogates the ways in which the sex offender registry not only produces housing insecurity for sex offender registrants but also creates the conditions under which housing insecure registrants are forced to engage in survival sex in exchange for a place to sleep. \nTerrance Wooten is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Black Studies at UC Santa Barbara. He is currently working on his first book manuscript\, tentatively titled Lurking in the Shadows of Home: Homelessness\, Carcerality\, and the Figure of the Sex Offender\, which examines how those who have been designated “sex offenders” and are homeless in the Maryland/DC area are managed and regulated through social policies\, sex offender registries\, and urban and architectural design. \nSponsored by the IHC’s New Sexualities Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Mario T. García\, Father Luis Olivares: A Biography
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue between Mario T. García (Chicana and Chicano Studies and History) and Verónica Castillo-Muñoz (History) about García’s new biography\, Father Luis Olivares: Faith Politics and the Origins of the Sanctuary Movement in Los Angeles. Refreshments will be served. \nGarcía‘s latest book is the untold story of the Los Angeles sanctuary movement’s champion\, Father Luis Olivares (1934–1993)\, a Catholic priest and a charismatic\, faith-driven leader for social justice. Beginning in 1980 and continuing for most of the decade\, hundreds of thousands of Salvadoran and Guatemalan refugees made the hazardous journey to the United States\, seeking asylum from political repression and violence in their home states. Instead of being welcomed by the “country of immigrants\,” they were rebuffed by the Reagan administration\, which supported the governments from which they fled. To counter this policy\, a powerful sanctuary movement rose up to provide safe havens in churches and synagogues for thousands of Central American refugees. Based on previously unexplored archives and over ninety oral histories\, García‘s biography of Olivares traces the life of a complex and constantly evolving individual. \nMario T. García is Professor of Chicana and Chicano Studies and History and author of The Latino Generation: Voices of the New America. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment and the Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies.

SUMMARY:The Fabricant: Symposium on the Figure of the Translator
DESCRIPTION:This gathering seeks to explore the critical role of translator as the mediator between cultures. In today’s political landscape\, the translator is often called upon to be the go-between different peoples\, spaces—both real and fictional— academic fields\, and cultures. Even as the Executive Order has banned immigrants of numerous countries to the United States\, the literary translator is one of the artistic professionals that enables communication between countries. The translator\, as a transcultural ambassador\, is the figure who creates thresholds in the globalized world of today. \nThe aim of the symposium is to incite a truly interdisciplinary dialogue\, hence the potentiality of the word fabricant. We want to emphasize the creative capacities (fictional\, poetic\, intellectual\, and political) of the translator\, in other words a constructor that can transfer/relocate theories\, epistemologies\, genres and imaginary spaces. To do so\, we will bring together translators and academics from a variety of disciplines and languages. \nPlanned activities:\n10:00 – 10:30 AM – Inauguration Ceremony \n10:30 – 12:00 PM – Session one: The Usual Suspect\, the Translator: Transgressing Languages\, Politics and Literary Canons \n12:15- 1:15 PM – Keynote Address by Distinguished Professor Suzanne Jill Levine\, “The Voice of the Translator” \n2:45 – 4:15 PM – Session two: Challenging Intention\, Gender and Meaning in Translation \n5:10 – 6:20 PM – Keynote Address by Jerome Rothenberg\, “Toward a Poetry and Poetics of the Americas: A Transnational Assemblage in Progress” \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Associated Students Bookstore\, College of Letters and Science\, Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, Graduate Division\, Humanities and Fine Arts\, Multicultural Center Translation Studies Program

SUMMARY:Social Securities Talk: Money is No Object:  Aesthetics\, Abstraction\, and the Politics of Care
DESCRIPTION:In his talk\, Scott Ferguson will rethink the historical relationship between money and aesthetics in an effort to broaden the politics of care using the alternative conception of money articulated by the contemporary heterodox school of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). Mobilizing MMT\, Ferguson critiques exhausted dialectical oppositions between money and art and contends that monetary abstraction\, rather than representing a private\, finite\, and alienating technology\, is instead a public and fundamentally unlimited medium that harbors still unrealized powers for inclusion and cultivation. A reception will follow. \nScott Ferguson is Associate Professor of Film and New Media Studies in the Department of Humanities and Cultural Studies at the University of South Florida. He is the author of Dependence: Money\, Aesthetics & the Politics of Care (2018) and Co-Director of The Modern Money Network Humanities Division\, co-host of the Money on the Left podcast\, and Research Scholar at the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Social Securities series and the Idee Levitan Endowment

SUMMARY:Inaugural Dean's Lecture Series: Social Science Partnerships for the Common Good
DESCRIPTION:Social research stands at a crossroads. On the one hand\, new data sources and methods offer scholars unprecedented opportunities to understand and influence the social world.  On the other hand\, fiscal constraints\, security risks\, misinformation campaigns\, and “post-truth culture” threaten both the funding and the credibility of this research. In this context\, the Social Science research Council (SSRC) launched the multidisciplinary\, cross-sector To Secure Knowledge Task Force to consider optimal conditions for social science in this moment\, including the infrastructure of social research\, standards of inquiry\, and the role that rigorous understanding plays in public affairs. In her talk\, SSRC president Alondra Nelson will discuss the Task Force’s conclusions\, including the development of a framework for researchers\, nonprofit organizations\, policymakers\, and businesses to collaborate in an effort to secure knowledge in the 21st century. She will also reflect on the Council’s new work in areas of inequality\, technology and democracy. \nReception generously hosted by Sara Miller McCune & Sage Publishing

SUMMARY:Screening: 1968: The Year That Shaped a Generation
DESCRIPTION:1968 was a pivotal year in U.S. and global history. In the United States\, students protested the Vietnam War. In France\, they protested university conditions and sparked worker strikes across the country. In Mexico City\, they protested state violence. This was also the year when the peaceful protest known as the “Prague Spring” flourished in Czechoslovakia\, when Martin Luther King planned a Poor People’s March on Washington\, and when Robert Kennedy ran for president. But the backlash against all of these stirrings was fierce. King and Kennedy were gunned down. Soviet tanks crushed the Prague Spring. Disarray in the American peace movement allowed Richard Nixon to become president. This documentary combines riveting archival footage and insightful interviews—with Jesse Jackson\, Barbara Ehrenreich\, Carlos Fuentes\, Pat Buchanan and others—to recreate an extraordinary year. The emerging picture is one of turmoil and anguish but also one of hope. The Vietnam protests ultimately led to a winding down of the war. The French uprising spurred university reforms in that country. The Prague Spring\, though ground down in 1968\, planted the seeds of Czechoslovakia’s Velvet Revolution of 1989. After the screening of the film\, Professor Salim Yaqub will make a brief presentation and lead a discussion. \nSponsored by the IHC and the Center for Cold War Studies and International History

SUMMARY:Social Securities Talk: Resistance Behind Bars: The Struggles of Incarcerated Women
DESCRIPTION:Since 1980\, the population of female prisoners has increased eightfold in this country\, with women of color disproportionately impacted. In her talk\, Ms. Law will examine the structural inequities and injustices behind the rise in the number of incarcerated women and the recurring violation of rights women face inside prison\, including lack of access to reproductive and medical health care and pervasive sexual harassment and abuse. Law will also discuss how incarcerated women are challenging and organizing against prison conditions and suggest ways that people on the outside can support their actions and resistance. \nVictoria Law is a freelance writer and editor. She is the author of Resistance Behind Bars: The Struggles of Incarcerated Women\, which won the 2009 PASS (Prevention for a Safer Society) award.

SUMMARY:Social Securities Inaugural Lecture: Social Insecurities: Media Policy and the Fight for Digital Liberties
DESCRIPTION:In the US\, media policy is designed to protect a host of cultural values\, particularly those promoting the public interest and freedom of expression. This talk will explore how these values and their attendant “social securities” have been actively sabotaged by the regulators charged with preserving them\, threatening everything from our individual privacy to democracy itself. In such a dire landscape\, the humanities offer much needed direction toward reclaiming a brighter future. A reception will follow. \nJennifer Holt is Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies. She is the author of Empires of Entertainment and co-editor of Distribution Revolution; Connected Viewing; and Media Industries: History\, Theory\, Method. She is a former Director of the Carsey-Wolf Center’s Media Industries Project and a Fellow at the Center for Democracy & Technology in Washington\, D.C.  \nSponsored by the IHC’s Social Securities series\nImage Credit: Joseph Gruber via Flickr\, Protest at the White House for Net Neutrality

SUMMARY:HUMANITIES DECANTED: Lal Zimman\, Transgender Language Reform: Some Challenges and Strategies for Promoting Trans-Affirming\, Gender-Inclusive Language
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation and discussion with Lal Zimman (Linguistics) about his new work\, “Transgender Language Reform.” Refreshments will be served. \nWith a growing societal interest in the experiences of transgender people has come a new kind of awareness about gendered language. Zimman’s recent article\, “Transgender language reform: some challenges and strategies for promoting trans-affirming\, gender-inclusive language\,” takes a linguistic approach to trans-inclusive language by distilling the practices of transgender speakers of English into a series of challenges and potential solutions. A short presentation of his work will be followed by an audience discussion of practical strategies for trans-affirming and gender-inclusive language in the university context. \nLal Zimman is Assistant Professor of Linguistics at UC Santa Barbara. His research takes a broad perspective on trans language\, from voices to narratives to terminological choices. His edited volume\, Queer Excursions: Retheorizing Binaries in Language\, Gender\, and Sexuality\, won the Association for Queer Anthropology’s Ruth Benedict Prize in 2014. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment. \n
