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:Slug48—Student Film Competition\, Screening\, and Awards Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The third annual Slug48 returns with a 48-hour film competition—open to all UC Santa Cruz students. A 48-hour film is one that is written\, shot\, edited\, and all music composed within a 48-hour time period. Teams and strategies for filming may be formed ahead of time\, but nothing can be written\, and no footage can be shot\, until the clock is ticking. Slug48 was founded in 2024 thanks to the support and enthusiasm of UC Santa Cruz alumnus Kevin Nolting\, former editor at Pixar Animation Studios\, where he edited the Academy Award-winning films Up!; Inside Out; and Soul. \nABOUT THE EVENT \nCompetition Opens\nFri.\, April 24\, 5:00 p.m. | UCSC Communications 139\n– parameters assigned (a theme\, a prop\, a line of dialogue that must be in the film to ensure nothing was shot ahead of time)\n– filming begins\n– open to all UCSC students\n– advanced registration recommended here; however students can sign up at the Competition Opens event \nCompetition Closes\nSun.

SUMMARY:Taming Two Scorpions: Climate Science Tipping Points Meet Finance Tail Risks
DESCRIPTION:When two quite different disciplines make eerily similar predictions about the future of the planet and human societies\, they deserve notice. Climate scientists warn that we may be heading toward a Hothouse Earth “inhospitable to … human societies\,” with “increasingly catastrophic impacts” possibly “worldwide societal breakdown.”       Finance and actuarial science emphasize the importance of tail risk (rare adverse events).  Planning and preparing for them is essential to the survival of insurance companies\, pension funds\, banks\, and the entire financial system.   In Climate Salon 6\, Economist Dan Friedman and Environmental Sociologist Andy Szasz team up to show how these disciplinary perspectives interconnect and what they say about the path forward. \nTues Apr 28 3:30-5 pm\, Center for Adaptive Optics Atrium or via zoom (free and open to the public!) \nDan Friedman is Distinguished Professor of Economics Emeritus at UCSC. The author of 6 books\, over 100 research articles and the recipient of 14 National Science Foundation grants\, Dan has begun to apply his expertise in finance and evolutionary game theory to issues in environmental economics. \nAndrew Szasz is Professor Emeritus of Environmental Studies.  At UCSC he taught courses on Classical and Contemporary Social Theory\, Environmental Sociology and Environmental Justice. He has written books and articles on environmental regulation\, the grassroots toxics movement\, green consuming\, environmental justice and climate change. \nCO-SPONSORED by UCSC Climate Action Now\, the Earth Futures Institute\, and Baskin Engineering.

SUMMARY:Landesman Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Landesman Lecture: Integrating Mathematical and Scientific Research with Excellence in Teaching\nAncestral Matter\, Shared Humanity\, Beyond Borders and Labels\nThis evening blends science\, poetry\, and storytelling to explore our deepest origins and shared humanity. Tracing the cosmic formation of the elements that make our bodies\, we reflect on an ancestry older than nations\, borders\, and labels. Through verse and story\, we connect stellar history with lived experience\, inviting us to see how our many identities arise from the same ancestral matter. Together\, we explore how storytelling can soften divisions\, cross boundaries\, and remind us that we are forged from one common origin. \nRegister to attend in-person or virtual\nDoors open at 5:30 p.m. for guests attending in person\nLecture: 6 p.m.\nFollowed by a reception for in-person guests\nFree and open to the public\nParking is $11 \nPresented by the UC Santa Cruz Emeriti Association \n  \n  \n \nEnrico Ramirez-Ruiz studies some of the most powerful explosions since the birth of the universe by looking not at the heavens but at computer models. Eager to understand our origins\, he uses simulations to explore the cataclysmic death of stars that give rise to many of the elements of the periodic table. His work tests ideas at the edge of human experience\, challenging how we imagine the universe and our place within it. \n \nJasmine Schlafke\, better known by her stage name Queen Jasmeen\, is a poet\, slam coach\, diversity trainer\, and a doula from Santa Cruz\, CA. Her first book\, Crowned\, published in 2019 by Bay Company Books\, is a widely respected expression of the complexity of compounded identities\, reflecting on mental health\, race\, teen parenting\, womanhood\, ministry\, and so much more. Currently\, she works as a privately contracted poetry and performance coach and is a proud single mother of two grown children. \n
