SUMMARY:Environmental Studies Seminar Series |  North Stars of Emancipation: Navigating Movements and Institutions to Change Food Systems
DESCRIPTION:In person and via Zoom (Meeting ID: 978 5545 8946\, Passcode: 454736).  \nIf you are unable to stream the talk live and need to access a recorded version\, please contact Stacy Philpott at sphilpot@ucsc.edu. A UC Santa Cruz email address is required to access the recording. \nHost: Stacy Philpott \nSpeaker: Antonio Roman-Alcala\, CSU East Bay \nTitle: North Stars of Emancipation: Navigating Movements and Institutions to Change Food Systems \nAbstract: In this talk\, Dr. Roman-Alcalá will discuss his new book North Stars of Emancipation: California’s Diverse Food and Farming Movements in Times of Racial Reckoning\, based on his twenty years of engaging such movements as both participant and (more recently) researcher. The book addresses how food movements’ racial politics and change-making strategies have shifted over recent decades\, in response to the interventions of activists and allies\, and in relation to the ever-vexing challenge of working across various kinds of difference. Antonio will present insights from North Stars\, illuminating the origins of right wing populist political strategies in California’s agrarian history\, dynamics of contemporary movement organizing among ecological farmers\, farmworkers\, Indigenous people\, food justice activists\, nonprofit staff\, researchers\, and others\, and suggestions for how to both diversify and strengthen the movement. Addressing social scientific and social movement debates about if and how social movements should seek radical change to society\, and how movements might navigate problematic political and economic systems not set up to serve them\, the talk will introduce the book’s call for a “North Star” approach to political change. Such an approach\, Antonio argues\, can leverage food markets and state policy even while seeking a food system (and world) beyond capitalism and the colonial nation-state. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Dominican Wake: Contradictions of the Human and Human Rights in the Dominican Republic with Dr. Génesis Lara
DESCRIPTION:As a part of the Sovereignty & Solidarity Fall Speaker Series\, the Huerta Center is thrilled to host Dr. Génesis Lara from UC-Irvine to speak on topics related to her upcoming book.  \nThe May 1961 assassination of dictator Rafael Trujillo propelled the Dominican Republic into the center stage of Cold War Caribbean geopolitics. This presentation places the Organization of American States (OAS) human rights inspection of the Dominican Republic in contrast to the writings of Dominican women to showcase the limitations of hemispheric entities of human rights in the Caribbean. The paper argues that in the absence of public platforms for truth and reconciliation\, the strategic employment of human rights and maternalism on behalf of Dominican women sought to hold the Dominican state accountable for state violence. Through the close reading of personal correspondence and state memoranda\, I examine how varying definitions of human were utilized by Dominican women to extract specific demands from Dominican officials. This presentation also examines the ways conservatism and rising Dominican radicalism influenced the demands women made of the state. Critically\, this paper excavates the central role of Dominican women in hemispheric development of human rights and reconciliation to argue for its inclusions in evaluations of the legacies of the Cold War radicalism in the Caribbean and Latin America.

SUMMARY:AM Seminar: Analysis of Flagellar Gait Changes Across Fluid Viscosities
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Dr. Kelli Gutierrez\, CSU Monterey Bay \nDescription: Many microswimmers propel themselves using flagella\, which are thin\, threadlike filaments that beat in a periodic wavelike motion. The flagellar beat emerges from the coupled interactions between the surrounding fluid and the active and passive responses of the flagellum. Previous studies have observed the qualitative shape of the flagellar waveform and the swimming speed to change with fluid viscosity. We quantify changes in the flagellar waveforms of \textit{Chlamydomonas reinhardtii} in response to changes in fluid viscosity using (i) shape mode analysis and (ii) a full swimmer simulation to analyze how shape changes affect the swimming speed. By decomposing the gait into the time‑independent mean shape and the time‑varying stroke\, we find that the time-independent mean shape changes substantially in response to viscosity\, while the changes in the time-varying stroke are more subtle. \nAbout the speaker: Dr. Gutierrez received her Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from UC Davis. She joined the Department of Mathematics and Statistics Department at Cal State Monterey Bay in 2026. Her research interests include mathematical biology\, fluid dynamics\, and applied mathematics. \nThis seminar is hosted by Applied Mathematics.

SUMMARY:North Stars of Emancipation: Navigating Movements and Institutions to Change Food Systems
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Antonio Roman-Alcalá has been participating in food and farming movements in California for over two decades. He’s founded urban farms\, taught organic horticulture\, and made documentary films about why food systems continue to be unsustainable.  \nMore recently\, he’s turned towards participatory\, movement-based research to develop an understanding of what “emancipation” might mean for those who’ve long faced the brunt of food systems injustices\, especially in a context of rising right wing\, racist politics at the national level. \nThe result is North Stars of Emancipation: California’s Diverse Food and Farming Movements in Times of Racial Reckoning\, Antonio’s book now out on MIT Press. You can find info on the book here. \nThe book describes a shift in recent decades of US food movement politics – driven by the greater inclusion and influence of people of color – towards more radical political ideals of anti-capitalism and anti-colonialism\, and skepticism of the state as a tool for emancipation. North Stars tackles questions of social movement convergence amidst the recent right wing rise\, and offers strategic and scholarly lessons based on decades of experience and analysis. \nCome join Antonio in conversation with other thinkers and doers\, about organizing for food systems transformation\, fraught times of political regression\, reckoning with legacies of racism\, and holding onto radical visions for a world otherwise. \nFeaturing: \nLeonard Diggs\, Long time Farmer and Educator\nMireya Gomez-Contreras\, Esperanza Farms\, Community Farm in Watsonville\nMaywa Montenegro de Wit\, Critical agrarian studies scholar at UCSC

SUMMARY:Lineages of Workers Inquiry in the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:The 1970s saw a burst of working-class struggle in the United States. In a moment of crisis\, workers responded with courage and determination to fight back. A wave of strikes and rank-and-file rebellion led a number of feminist scholars and activists to investigate\, contextualize\, and broadcast this activity. Some engaged in oral history\, others in participant observation by obtaining jobs in different industries. They asked crucial questions about what the meaning of class relationships\, the connection between historical memory and ongoing struggles\, and the significance of social reproduction in analyzing exploitation and resistance. \nIn our present\, as younger generations enter the labor movement through union drives\, salting\, strike support\, and other paths\, this body of research and action offers valuable lessons. \nWith: Ann Bookman\, Gail Hershatter\, Vicki Ruiz\, Pat Zavella \nModerator: Patrick King \nRegister Here \nOCTOBER 20\, 2026 | 6 PM-8 PM\nCOWELL RANCH HAY BARN\n94 RANCH VIEW RD\, SANTA CRUZ\, CA 95064 \n  \nLa década de 1970 fue testigo de un aumento de las luchas de la clase trabajadora en Estados Unidos. En un momento de crisis\, los trabajadores respondieron con valor y determinación para contragolpear. Un gran incremento de huelgas y rebeliones de trabajadores sindicalizados llevó a diversas académicas y activistas feministas a investigar\, contextualizar y difundir esta actividad. Algunas recurrieron a la historia oral\, mientras que otras emplearon la observación participante\, consiguiendo empleos en diferentes sectores industriales. Plantearon preguntas fundamentales sobre el significado de las relaciones de clase\, la conexión entre la memoria histórica y las luchas actuales\, y la importancia de la reproducción social a la hora de analizar la explotación y la resistencia. \nAhora\, a medida que las generaciones más jóvenes se incorporan al movimiento laboral —ya sea mediante campañas de sindicalización\, la estrategia de infiltración laboral (*salting*)\, el apoyo a huelgas o otras maneras—\, este conjunto de investigaciones y acciones ofrece lecciones valiosas. \nCon: Ann Bookman\, Gail Hershatter\, Vicki Ruiz\, Pat Zavella \nModerado por: Patrick King \nRegistrese aqui \n20 de Octubre 2026 | 6 PM-8 PM\nCOWELL RANCH HAY BARN\n94 RANCH VIEW RD\, SANTA CRUZ\, CA 95064

SUMMARY:Taking Charge of Change: Five Fundamental Truths for Mastering the Chaos of Life
DESCRIPTION:Taking Charge of Change: Five Fundamental Truths for Mastering the Chaos of Life With Jim Hjort \nWednesday\, Oct. 21\, 2026 | Noon PT \nVirtual via Zoom \nHosted by the UCLA Alumni Association\, open to all UC alumni \nChange is the only constant in life\, and every day we are called to reckon with this. Today\, it may be most apparent to you in national or global tumult\, a career pivot you’re contemplating\, or relationship dynamics you’re struggling to tweak or adapt to. \nHowever it shows up\, you can count on the rug continuing to shift beneath your feet. And your brain really doesn’t like that\, at least by default. In its frenzy to find stability today\, it will leap to ways of thinking and behaving that will leave you feeling even more stuck\, stifled\, and afraid tomorrow. Yet\, if you are inclined toward personal growth\, you can use the tidal forces of change to propel you to ever-greater wisdom\, inner stability\, and even growth. \nLEARN MORE & REGISTER

SUMMARY:Film Screening with Isaac Julien - Young Soul Rebels
DESCRIPTION:Join the Humanities Institute\, the Moving Image Lab\, and the Quarry Amphitheater for a screening of Isaac Julien’s 1991 film\, Young Soul Rebels. Recently restored to its original director’s cut\, the film is a coming-of-age thriller set in London in 1977\, the year of the Sex Pistols’ debut and Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee. It follows two teenage best friends\, Chris and Caz\, who operate a pirate radio station\, the Soul Patrol\, and centers on the race conflicts and tensions among three popular youth movements at the time–skinheads\, punks\, and soulboys. Julien’s first feature\, the film won the Semaine de la Critique prize at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival and has garnered international acclaim since its release. Its soundtrack includes music by Parliament\, The O’Jays\, War\, and Roy Ayers\, among others. \n \nThe event will begin with a brief presentation on the film’s context. The film will be followed by a Q&A with writer and director\, Isaac Julien. \nFree and open to the public. Registration required. \nFilmmaker and installation artist\, Isaac Julien KBE RA\, was born in 1960 in London. His work breaks down the barriers between different artistic disciplines\, drawing from and commenting on film\, dance\, photography\, music\, theatre\, painting\, and sculpture\, and uniting them to construct powerful visual narratives through multi-screen film installations. \nHis latest work All That Changes You. Metamorphosis is an immersive ten-screen installation that opened in October 2024 at the Palazo Te in Mantua\, Italy and features internationally celebrated actors Sheila Atim and Gwendoline Christie. A five-screen version of the installation will have its world premiere at the Victoria Miro Gallery in London in February 2026\, and it will be featured at Santa Cruz’s Museum of Art and History in Fall 2027. Other recent solo exhibitions include Isaac Julien: I Dream a World at the de Young Museum in San Francisco (2025)\, Lina Bo Bardi – A Marvellous Entanglement at MASP in São Paulo (2025)\, Lessons of the Hour at MoMA in New York (2024)\, and Once Again… (Statues Never Die) at the Whitney Biennial (2024). \nIn 2018\, Julien joined the faculty at UC Santa Cruz where he is Distinguished Professor of the Arts and Humanities and leads the Moving Image Lab together with History of Consciousness Professor Emeritus\, Mark Nash. Julien is the 2017 recipient of The Royal Academy of Arts Charles Wollaston Award\, and he was awarded a Kaiserring Goslar Award in 2022 and granted a knighthood as part of the Queen’s Honours List in 2022. \nThis event is presented by the Humanities Institute and the Moving Image Lab\, and co-sponsored by Crown College\, Merrill College\, Porter College\, and the Quarry Amphitheater.
