SUMMARY:Digital Accessibility: Presentations and Visual Aids
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Brian McNeilly – Web Accessibility Specialist – UCOP \nPresentations often contain a unique hybrid of static documents and an accompanying live presentation or talk. This interface of live discussions along with a displayed visual document creates a unique tension for accessibility. In this session we will discuss ways to ensure not long that your slide deck is accessible\, but that the whole presentation experience is as accessible as possible. \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nDesign slides using accessible layouts\nAdjust the reading order of content within a slide deck\nEnsure sufficient font size & color contrast\nUnderstand how animations should be used for digital accessibility\nWhat to include on screen vs in the spoken presentation

SUMMARY:M.F.A. Exhibition for Environmental Art & Social Practice (EASP)—"Picking up Shells Amid a Tsunami"
DESCRIPTION:The culminating exhibition of the Environmental Art and Social Practice (EASP) M.F.A. program at UC Santa Cruz presents new projects—Picking up Shells Amid a Tsunami 쓰나미가 밀려오는데\, 조개나 줍고 있네—developed through concentrated inquiry over a two-year period and offers a window into the artists’ unique long-term research projects that expand beyond the gallery space.\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n– Ongoing Exhibition: Thurs..\, April 2–Sat.\, May 2\, 2026\n– Opening Celebration: Thurs.\, April 2\, 5:00–7:00 p.m.\n– Artist Roundtable: Thurs.\, April 23\, 5:00–6:00 p.m.\n—\nADMISSION\n– FREE and open to the public\n– Gallery hours are Tues.–Sun.noon–5:00 p.m (closed Mondays)\n—\nPARKING\n– Lot 124 & 125 are the closest parking lots to the event.\n– Parking is by permit or ParkMobile.\n– Refer to TAPS for more parking information.\n—\nABOUT THE EXHIBITION \nNotes from the EASP cohort: \n“The phrase evokes a scene in which\, amid an approaching catastrophe\, someone appears to be idly picking up seashells. In South Korea\, it gained political currency during the 2017 presidential impeachment protests\, when feminist\, disability rights\, and animal rights groups were criticized for bringing their demands into the demonstrations. Their interventions were dismissed as distractions—acts of “picking up shells” at a moment when the sole priority was said to be the president’s removal. \n“We choose to pick up shells nonetheless. Not because the crisis is small\, but because the shells matter. They are the body of the future\, what accumulates slowly\, what endures. One day\, shells become mountains\, and mountains become home. To pick up shells is not to turn away from urgency\, but to insist on a future beyond it. \n“This exhibition comes together through an insistence on the opposite premise: that picking up shells while disaster is at our doorstep is not a distraction\, but a necessity. What gets dismissed as marginal\, secondary\, a mere luxury\, or mistimed\, is precisely where social and political life becomes livable and where dreams\, desire and the imagination open lines of flight towards other worlds. \n“Waves can level buildings once on the shore\, dragging and revealing the damage as they recede. Rather than turning away from the storm\, we acknowledge the multilayered and epistemic devastation caused by centuries of colonial\, patriarchal\, racist violence upon people\, earth and more than human life. We witness the ongoing bifurcation of human and nature that is sedimented into our lives\, languages and social\, material\, infrastructures. \n“The act of bending down to gather shells\, ردم\,  fragments\, sounds\, 뼈\, blue bottles\, grotta\, relationships\, bodies\, cries—composes a score that moves towards forms of care through minor gestures\, embodiment\, ritual\, ofrendas\, listening and beholding.  Mundane and everyday poetics do not negate the scale of devastation and loss\, nor do they refuse engagement. Rather\, they bear witness. They reveal pathways towards endurance\, negotiation\, memory and imagination beyond colonial catastrophe. In this sense\, the exhibition reframes the tsunami not as a singular event or metaphor\, but an invitation us to behold\, actively look\, to sit within the textures of tectonic plates and energy flows\, at the conjuncture where plates meet\, in the flow of energy through tempo\, liquid\, movement\, land\, sound\, ecotone. \n“The wave does not demand one unified response. It forms part of a condition\, a form of everyday accretion\, a movement in and out of different temporalities. Picking up shells while the tsunami unfolds\, amid the tsunami\, alongside the water’s ebbs and flows\, calls us to pay attention to overlooked lives\, stories\, bodies\, memories\, flows and relations\, to transform materials so that they become reconstituted and are able to hold new and ongoing narratives that refuse to remain silent.”

SUMMARY:Beyond public and private: Collaborative governance in global education reform with Antoni Verger and René Espinoza Kissell
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to invite you to join us for a hybrid research talk on collaborative governance with international education scholar and sociologist Dr. Antoni Verger (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) in conversation with Dr. René Espinoza Kissell (UCSC) on Thursday\, April 2\, 2026 at 5pm. \nNeoliberal educational policies aimed at efficiency through competition have often resulted in greater inequality and fragmentation. Can empowering new stakeholders through collaborative networks challenge market logics? Professor of Sociology Antoni Verger will present evidence on international cases of collaborative governance\, where education leaders aim to convene stakeholders\, co-design supports\, and steer improvement collaboratively. Assistant Professor of Education René Espinoza Kissell will provide a local case study of school choice markets in Oakland\, California\, examining the racial politics of school closures and charter school regulation. This will be followed by a discussion on the opportunities and contradictions in global governance shifts\, as well as the tensions between public and private coordination in addressing enduring political challenges. \n Thursday\, April 2nd\, 2026\, 5-6:30PM \n: McHenry 3170 or via Zoom (Meeting ID: 980 6836 8045; Passcode: 330341) \nPlease complete this RSVP form if you plan to attend (food will be provided). \n  \nAbout the Speakers:\nAntoni Verger is Professor of Sociology at the UAB and research fellow at the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA). With a cross-disciplinary training in sociology and education studies\, his research examines the relationship between global governance institutions and education policy – i.e. how education policies are internationally disseminated and enacted in different institutional settings\, and what effects this has on education quality and equity. In recent years\, he has specialized in the study of public-private partnerships\, school autonomy and accountability policies in education. He is one of the lead editors of the World Yearbook of Education and the Journal of Education Policy\, and academic director of the Erasmus Plus awarded Master programme Education Policies for Global Development – GLOBED. \nRené Espinoza Kissell is an Assistant Professor of Educational Policy Studies at UC Santa Cruz. Her scholarship brings together policy\, politics\, and political economy to study issues of power and governance in education. Drawing on critical theories and qualitative methods\, her work centers on school choice and community engagement\, as well as the creation\, management\, and racialized surveillance of school district debt. She recently served as a research expert for the 2025 international evaluation of New Public Education Reform/La Nueva Educación Pública (NEP) in Chile. Her research has been published in Journal of Education Policy\, Educational Policy\, Urban Education\, and Educational Administration Quarterly.  \nWe hope you can join us in welcoming international education scholar Antoni Verger to the UCSC campus!

SUMMARY:Colm Toibin – The News From Dublin
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz and The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz welcome acclaimed author Colm Tóibín (Long Island\, Brooklyn) for a discussion about The News from Dublin\, a brilliant collection of nine short stories\, many never-before-published\, set across Ireland\, Spain\, and America—about the complexities of family\, longing\, loss\, and love. \n \nCelebrated as “his generation’s most gifted writer of love’s complicated\, contradictory power” ( Los Angeles Times)\, Colm Tóibín is a master of short fiction as well as the novel\, able to summon an extraordinary intensity of emotion in a brief tale. The eleven stories transport readers across continents and eras. \nIn The Journey to Galway\, a mother who has learned of the death of her son\, a fighter pilot in World War I\, travels to Galway to inform his wife and their three now fatherless children. “Sleep\,” originally published in The New Yorker\, explores the rift between two lovers as one of them cannot reckon with his grief and fear after the death of his brother. Death\, again\, is a central character in the title story\, “The News from Dublin\,” as Maurice Webster travels to Dublin to try to save his younger brother who is dying of tuberculosis. Maurice must petition the health minister for access to a new experimental drug\, and this is the only hope. \nColm Tóibín is the author of eleven novels\, including Long Island\, an Oprah’s Book Club Pick; The Magician\, winner of the Rathbones Folio Prize; The Master\, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; Brooklyn\, winner of the Costa Book Award; and Nora Webster\, winner of the Hawthornden Prize\, as well as three story collections and several books of criticism. He is the Irene and Sidney B. Silverman Professor of the Humanities at Columbia University and was named the 2022–2024 Laureate for Irish Fiction by the Arts Council of Ireland. In 2021\, he was awarded the David Cohen Prize for Literature. \nMore information at: Bookshop Santa Cruz – Colm Tóibín \n\nCo-sponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz.
