SUMMARY:Road Trip! Light in the American West\, from Baja to the Yukon
DESCRIPTION:The photographs in this exhibition\, made between 2004 and 2025\, span across the American West from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to The Yukon territory in Canada. Paul Schoellhamer’s (Cowell ‘69) color photographs invite us to travel with him and reflect on our relationship to land\, the light that shapes it\, and the freedom – contested but essential – to move across it. \nThe exhibition draws on voices across time and perspective that frame the American landscape as more than a stage for beauty and awe. For Chief Satanta of the Kiowa Nation\, to roam the land freely was life itself. For N. Scott Momaday\, land must be “believed to be seen.” For Eliot Porter\, light and reflection imparted magic to Glen Canyon’s waters. For Wallace Stegner\, saving natural places meant saving fragments of our collective sanity. For Brook M. Thompson\, the Klamath River is recognized with personhood. Alongside these perspectives\, Paul’s images press us to see public land not as scenery to extract or aestheticize\, but as sustenance and history. Land is alive and contested. To see closely is not to linger on a romanticized vision of the American landscape\, but to reckon with responsibility: how we safeguard access\, how we imagine “wildness\,” and how we hold space for futures beyond our own. For Paul\, this exhibition is a call for students to encounter land and light firsthand and let those encounters be their teachers. \nOpening Reception\nOctober 4\, 2025\n1-4pm \n—– \nJoin us every Friday for Art Fridays.\nNo experience necessary. Supplies and snacks provided. \n\nSep 26 Snail Mail/Postcards\nOct 3 Souvenir Keychains\nOct 10 Stamp Magnets\nOct 17 Cyanotype Totebags/Pouches/Pencil cases\nOct 24 Candy Around The World Linocuts\nOct 31 Abstract Felt Collages\nNov 7 Phone Photos/Buttons\nNov 14 Travel Related Patches With Upcycled Materials\nNov 21 Thanksgiving Break!

SUMMARY:Book Talk with Winnie Wong—VMCC Series
DESCRIPTION:In this public talk\, Winnie Wong presents and discusses her most recent book\, The Many Names of Anonymity: Portraitists of the Canton Trade. She explores two countervailing urgencies in contemporary cultural politics: the drive to recognize all individuals as artists so that they may be granted the rights and privileges of authorship; and\, at the same time\, the inadequacy of the modern figure of “the artist” to contain the ingenuity\, imagination\, and originality of anonymous workers. It does so by focusing on a long marginalized but ubiquitous genre of painting: portraits produced by Chinese artisans in the port of Guangzhou for European merchants at the height of the Qing dynasty. In this relationship\, makers are anonymized\, while merchants’ lives are preserved in vivid detail\, but portraiture occasions the empirical scene of their encounter. This book charts a framework for understanding visual production and trade across overlapping imperial spaces\, and demonstrates how contemporary art historical inquiry can yet decouple authorial names from authorial works\, a step necessary to looking anew at anonymity\, multiplicity\, and the ingenuity of nameless artisans. \nWinnie Wong is a professor of rhetoric at the University of California\, Berkeley. She is an art historian with a special interest in fakes\, forgeries and counterfeits. \nThis event is presented as part of the Visual & Media Cultures Colloquium (VMCC) series.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Open seating/admission (no ticket or registration required)\n– FREE and open to the public.\n– Located at Porter College D245\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n– Wed.\, Nov 12: Book Talk with Winnie Wong\n– Additional dates to be announced\n—\nPARKING\n– Lot 124 & 125 are the closest parking lots to the event\n– Parking by permit or ParkMobile\n– TAPS provides additional parking information\n—\nABOUT THE SERIES\nThis event is presented as part of the Visual & Media Cultures Colloquium (VMCC)\, an annual lecture series that brings cutting-edge scholars to speak on a broad range of subjects related to visual and media culture. The series is co-sponsored with the graduate programs in the History of Art & Visual Culture (HAVC) and the Film & Digital Media departments. Each year\, the students and a faculty coordinator are responsible for selecting\, inviting and hosting speakers from a list of suggested names submitted by their peers and HAVC faculty. Together they share the unique challenge and opportunity of creating a program that brings to campus an array of cutting-edge scholars to speak on a broad spectrum of subjects.\n—\nImage Credit: Peabody Essex Museum\n—\nThis program is open to all members of the public consistent with state and federal law.

SUMMARY:Plenary Session for Crown Students: Chatbots on the Couch: AI\, Mental Health\, and the Ethics of Digital Empathy
DESCRIPTION:Location: Merrill/Crown Auditorium\nEvent Type: Panel Discussion / Plenary Session\nSponsor: Crown College\nOpen to: UCSC Students\, Faculty\, and Staff \n\nEvent Description: \nAs artificial intelligence increasingly shapes mental healthcare—from chatbots offering therapeutic support to algorithms detecting early signs of distress—we face urgent ethical questions about trust\, privacy\, bias\, and the future of human connection in care. \nJoin us for a compelling panel discussion featuring three distinguished experts who will explore the promises and perils of AI in mental health: \nPanelists: \nDr. Lisa A. Berkley – Director of Crown Resiliency Program and Founder Executive Director of the Center for Applied Values & Ethics in Advancing Technology (CAVEAT) at UCSC; Founder and President of the Institute for Inner Economy \nAlka Roy – Technology and product leader with deep expertise in Machine Learning/AI\, privacy\, and trust frameworks. Ms. Roy founded the Responsible Innovation Project\, serves on multiple open-source Responsible and Trusted AI committees\, and holds multiple patents for policy and security frameworks. She has received national recognition as a Rising Star and National Women of Color in Technology honoree. With degrees in both Electrical Engineering/Computer Science and an MFA in Creative Writing\, Ms. Roy brings a unique interdisciplinary perspective to questions of technology ethics and innovation. \nLinda MacDonald Glenn\, JD\, LLM\, Faculty at Crown College and co-founder of the Center for Applied Values and Ethics in Advancing Technologies (CAVEAT.UCSC.EDU) \nWhat We’ll Explore: \n\nWhen does AI complement human care\, and when does it replace it dangerously?\nHow do we address algorithmic bias in mental health interventions?\nWhat ethical guardrails are needed when bots mimic empathy?\nWho is accountable when AI-driven mental health tools cause harm?\n\nThis panel brings together perspectives from bioethics\, clinical practice\, student well-being\, and technology leadership to examine the real-world ethical challenges of AI deployment in mental healthcare—a topic of profound relevance given recent concerns about chatbot safety\, algorithmic bias\, and the commercialization of mental health technologies. \nThis event connects directly to critical questions about responsibility\, justice\, and the sociopolitical implications of emerging technologies. Come prepared to think critically about innovation that claims to heal—and to question whose interests are truly being served. \nAdmission: Free and open to the UCSC community \n
