SUMMARY:2026 Right Livelihood International Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Right Livelihood International Conference is a five-week global conference exploring how education can strengthen democracy\, collective intelligence\, and just futures. Bringing together Right Livelihood Laureates\, students\, faculty\, and community partners across continents\, the conference combines asynchronous learning with participatory dialogue and collaborative action. Rather than advocating specific outcomes\, the conference positions education as a democratic practice and the Right Livelihood College as a steward of dialogue\, student voice\, and long-term institutional learning. \nRegistration is free and open to the public. Sign up to receive conference updates\, session links\, and participation opportunities.

SUMMARY:Shadmon\, R. (CS) - Proximal Byzantine Agreement
DESCRIPTION:Research on fault-tolerance protocols for approximate Byzantine agreement\n(ABA) has largely focused on ensuring that distributed processes remain\nconsistent despite fewer than 1/3 faulty processes. Yet in many\nreal systems\, consistency is only useful when it enables processes to\nmake accurate decisions from replicated\, noisy\, and potentially\nadversarially corrupted data relative to an ideal fault-free baseline.\nThis limitation is increasingly important in edge applications such as\nautonomous vehicles\, drone networks\, smart cities\, manufacturing\, and\nsensor-based systems\, where agreement directly drives downstream\nactions. At the same time\, many existing ABA protocols impose\nimpractical requirements\, such as replica counts that grow with data\ndimensionality or prior knowledge of the maximum distance between values\nproposed by each process. \nWe introduce Stochastic Byzantine Agreement (SBA)\, a new problem\nformulation in which the goal is to estimate an output from n replicated\nvalues consisting of n-f nonfaulty outputs generated by an\nunderlying stochastic process and f arbitrarily chosen\nByzantine outputs. We then present Proximal Byzantine Agreement\n(PBA)\, a stochastic agreement protocol that solves SBA by enabling\nconsumers to infer the most likely ideal output conditioned on the\noutputs they receive. In addition\, PBA provides a region\nguarantee that\, as we prove\, always contains the corresponding\nfault-free stochastic estimate of the true value. \nWe describe the design of PBA\, formalize its guarantees\, and evaluate\nits accuracy against existing techniques using stochastic simulations\nacross symmetric and asymmetric distributions and multiple system\nconfigurations. We also evaluate runtime overhead and performance in a\nfollow-the-leader drone network simulator and in a Java implementation on\nRaspberry Pis using a real-world adaptive cruise control dataset. Our\nresults show that PBA performs competitively across all evaluated\nsettings and especially well under simulated Byzantine attack. Most\nnotably\, PBA maintains stable accuracy as dimensionality increases\,\noutperforming methods that require up to 10x more replicas}\nand incur up to 10x greater computation time per agreement\ndecision. \nEvent Host: Roy Shadmon\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Computer Science  \nAdvisor: Owen Arden \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/98390167664?pwd=DwkNuUSRaZRKXYb7pQbDYXgf7HFFPg.1 \nPasscode: pba

SUMMARY:Spring Exhibitions at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Visit the IAS\, UCSC’s premier art galleries\, for our spring exhibitions. On view April 10–August 16\, 2026 are three diverse and interdisciplinary shows: Libia Posada: Everything is Going Right\, the first US solo exhibition by the Colombia-based artist and medical doctor; Gina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj\, a site-specific and immersive exploration of the Haitian kreyol conception of rasanblaj; and Ronaldo V. Wilson: There Are No Words\, But Melodies\, a mixed-media exhibition emerging at the intersections of Black poetics\, performance\, and visual art. \nThe IAS Galleries are open Wednesday-Sunday\, 12 pm – 5 pm. Admission is free to the public. \nLibia Posada: Everything is Going Right\nLibia Posada’s first solo exhibition in the United States features installations\, sculptures\, and drawings meticulously constructed from surgical instruments\, gauze bandages\, crutches\, used books\, and domestic picture frames. The new and existing works in the exhibition powerfully stitch together the personal\, social\, and political disorders and afflictions that currently trouble the world\, from the wars that resonate across the globe to the violences of aging in US prisons.  \nGina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj: Origins & Disentanglements\nThe internationally-lauded work of humanities professor Gina Athena Ulysse is on view as a premier Faculty Spotlight Exhibition. The site-specific installation\, produced in community from things collected\, found\, purchased and donated\, centers on the Haitian concept of rasanblaj\, a form of assembly and collage that transcends the formal use of materials to draw together people\, spirits\, and ideas.  \nRonaldo V. Wilson: There Are No Words\, But Melodies\nCollage is both a material practice and a structural interrogation in the Faculty Spotlight Exhibition artworks by literature professor Ronaldo V. Wilson. In video\, painting\, and installation\, layers and folds conceal and reveal\, delving into the experience\, both bodily and emotive\, of living in times of violence.  \n

SUMMARY:Visualizing Abolition Screening Series: Beyond Access
DESCRIPTION:On view in the IAS Screening Room is a selection of short films curated by Visualizing Abolition Visiting Faculty Fellow Dr. Pooja Rangan. \nPrisons deny and censor the access of those trapped inside them—to information\, to intimacy\, to community\, to meaningful work\, to nourishment of all kinds\, and perhaps most cruelly\, to care. This program assembles a series of films\, including works by filmmakers incarcerated in California as well as others without that lived experience. Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (the hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by enclosing what should be held in common. Questioning the carceral and state-sponsored productions of disability and accessibility\, the short films together reveal the courage of people working despite limitations to produce collective access for one another\, described simply and beautifully by disability justice activist Leah-Lakshmi Piepzna Samarasinha as “revolutionary love without charity.” \nThanh Tran\nDying in Prison\, 2022\nHD Video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nCarolyn Lazard\nPre-Existing Condition\, 2019\nHD video (color\, sound)\, 6 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist and Trautwein Herleth3 \nAnthony Alejandrez\nAnother Rainy Day\, 2023\nPhone video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nJordan Lord\nAfter…After… (Access)\, 2018\nHD Video (color\, sound)\, 16 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nRahsaan “New York” Thomas\nFriendly Signs\, 2023\nVideo (color\, sound) 21 minutes\nCourtesy of Tommy Wickerd\, Empowerment Ave & System Impact Media

SUMMARY:Rules Are Not Neutral: Play As Sense-Making\, Acts Of Resistance\, And Imagining Otherwise
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together a range of analog games – including board\, card\, role-playing\, and other participatory works – that engage social and political realities in different ways. The works span widely circulated commercial games to independently produced projects\, one-of-a-kind artworks by artists\, faculty\, alumni\, and students\, and materials drawn from UC Santa Cruz Special Collections and Archives. \nIn part\, the exhibition challenges the persistent assumption that games and play are detached from social and political life. On the contrary\, game designers and artists across diverse perspectives and positions have long used play to engage questions of social systems\, lived experience\, and how power operates. This exhibition does not attempt to represent that full spectrum. Instead\, it brings together a particular set of works that foreground how games can make systems visible\, intervene in them\, and imagine alternatives. \nAll games embody values\, whether intentional or not.  \n– Mary Flanagan\, game designer and scholar \nAcross all of these works\, games are not only forms of entertainment\, though they may be that as well. They are encountered in multiple ways: as objects\, as systems\, as artworks\, and as experiences that unfold unpredictably through interaction. In each case\, rules and constraints shape what participants can do. In these different forms\, the works stage systems – such as housing and land ownership\, capitalism\, race and identity\, civil rights and protest\, fascism\, and colonialism – in ways that are simplified and easy to see\, opening space to recognize similar structures beyond the game. In this sense\, the works suggest that rules are not neutral – they organize experience\, distribute power\, and produce meaning. \nGames are the art of agency. \n– C. Thi Nguyen\, philosopher \nThe exhibition is intentionally dense. This abundance reflects the breadth of ways games operate across contexts\, from activism and education to art and everyday life. While it celebrates creativity and difference\, it also asks how these works engage critically with the structures that shape our lives.  \nSome works use rules to model systems\, helping players understand how those systems operate. Others use play to rehearse action\, asking players to practice navigating or challenging those systems. Still others turn toward speculation\, inviting players to imagine alternative futures\, worlds\, and the systems that might shape them.  \nThe imagination is an instrument of change. \n– Ursula K. Le Guin\, author \nThe focus on analog games reflects how they foreground materiality and shared physical presence. Played face-to-face\, handled\, read aloud\, and experienced together\, these works show how rules operate not in abstraction\, but through lived\, embodied experience. \nUltimately\, the exhibition asks us to consider not only how games represent the world\, but how they shape our engagement with it – and how through play\, the social and political systems they model might be understood\, challenged\, and reimagined. \nGames are not apolitical. \n– Kishonna L. Gray\, media scholar \n  \nGallery Reception\nMay 15 from 1 to 4pm at the Eloise Pickard Smith Gallery \n  \nArt Friday\nHands-on art activities drawing from the current exhibition.\nALL ARE WELCOME regardless of skill level. Art supplies and free snacks are provided!
