SUMMARY:“So\, There We Were...” – Celebrating the Untold Stories Behind the Discoveries
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate another year of profound discoveries\, uplifting unheard voices\, and opening up the world for the next generation of students\, the Academic Senate is planning a year-end celebratory event on Wednesday\, May 27\, 5-7:30 pm (week 9)\, at the Haybarn. But lest you think this is yet one more end-of-year academic event with mind-numbing presentations and hard-to-read powerpoint slides\, think again. This Scholarly Event is an excuse for us to do what we never get to do: come together to share the real stories behind our work and\, most of all\, HAVE FUN! In this spirit we are launching a celebratory event to feature the true but unknown\, the odd\, the awkward\, and just plain unbelievable stories behind our research: \n“So\, There We Were…”\nCelebrating the Untold Stories Behind the Discoveries \nThese might be the adventures\, misadventures\, revelations\, miscues\, or simply the “you would never believe it all worked out” moments that we have all experienced but rarely talk about (at least not in public). These are the stories that our friends\, neighbors\, and students want to hear\, but never would make it into scholarly publications or presentations. These are the stories we swap with our colleagues over drinks. While this event is intended primarily for faculty\, the campus community and community members will be welcome to attend (in other words\, feel free to bring your kids\, your partner\, your neighbors). \nWe are therefore soliciting applications (or nominations if you know someone—including yourself—who really needs to share that story) to regale your colleagues with details about “that time that…(fill in the blank)\,” while showing how those hidden moments shaped what finally came out of that research. This is meant to be a lighthearted and fun event\, so while having the audience learn something about what you do and why it is SO COOL is very good\, our focus will remain on humor\, fun\, and engaging tales. As the Ig Nobel Awards put it: “First make them laugh…then make them think!” \nPresenters will give a ~10 min TED style talk. Talks must begin with the phrase “So\, there we were” (or “So\, there I was” ) and they should feature the adventurous\, the bizarre\, and ideally the humorous in your research. Absolutely no tedious powerpoints\, jargon\, or literature background review will be allowed.  \nA reception will follow. Or it may precede\, or even take place during\, the event. But rest assured\, we will be celebrating in style. Please submit your nominations following instructions below\, and we expect to see you there. \nFaculty\, for nominations of yourself (or someone else):\nPlease send to Senate@ucsc.edu\, with subject line “So there we were”\n \nFor you: By April 17\nA Title\, and a brief (no more than 500 words!) description of your proposed talk. It must begin with “So there we were” or “So there I was.” You must also include a statement that you understand this must be fun and that you understand that erudite jargon\, literature review\, or tedious explication are completely unacceptable. Any supporting details that demonstrate your enthusiasm for your subject and its presentation are welcome. \nFor someone else: Immediately! (or sooner)\nSubmit the person’s name\, email\, and the story or topic that makes you think they really should be harangued by us to apply.  \nNB: There may well be prizes. But we have not gotten quite that far yet.

SUMMARY:UCSC Opera—Orpheus in the Underworld
DESCRIPTION:A rollicking and irreverent spoof of the Orpheus myth\, Jacques Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld is most famous as the origin of the “gallop infernal”—the music now strongly associated with the can-can dance. This operetta follows the unhappy (and unfaithful) union of Orpheus and Eurydice\, as the latter’s love affair with the god of the underworld results in Eurydice relocating to hell. Cowed by Public Opinion\, Orpheus makes an attempt to retrieve his wife from the underworld\, but Jupiter’s involvement\, along with many of the other gods of Olympus\, complicates matters further.  \nThe UCSC Orchestra ensemble and voice students are conducted by Bruce Kiesling\, with direction by Sheila Willey.\nCostumes by Brooke Jennings\, wigs by Sharon Ridge\, and set/lighting design by David Dunning.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Attend in person at the UCSC Music Center Recital Hall.\n– General admission opera tickets available online through Eventbrite.\n– Free for UCSC students (ticket required).\n– Follow the Music Department on Eventbrite for notices and updates.\n– Doors are scheduled to open 30 minutes prior to event start time.\n– Ticket holders not seated at least 5 minutes before the advertised start time may forfeit their ticket/seat and no refund will be issued.\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n– Th.\, May 28\, 7:30 p.m.\n– Fr.\, May 29\, 7:30 p.m.\n– Sa.\, May 30\, 7:30 p.m.\n– Su.\, May 31\, 3:00 p.m. matinee\n—\nPARKING\n– Parking by permit\, ParkMobile\, or $11 cash/credit via the on-site parking attendant.\n– Arts Lot #126 is the closest parking lot to the event\n– Visitors with DMV placards or plates may park for free in DMV spaces\, Medical spaces\, or ParkMobile spaces without additional payment\, or in timed zones for longer than the posted time.\n– UCSC affiliates must purchase their permits before arriving at the event in order to receive their discounted UCSC rate.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Learning to Lead with Dr. Veronica Terriquez
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Labor and Community and UCSC Sociology Department welcome Dr. Veronica Terriquez for a discussion on her recently published book\, Learning to Lead: Youth Organizing in Immigrant Communities. The event will take place on Monday\, June 1 at 12pm at the Rachel Carson Red Room. \nChildren of immigrants make up more than one in four people in the United States under the age of thirty. Amid today’s multipronged attacks on immigrant communities and growing threats to democratic participation\, these young people often encounter significant barriers to political participation. Despite these challenges\, some children of immigrants and refugees engage in nonpartisan grassroots campaigns\, addressing issues such as education\, health\, environmental justice\, immigrant rights\, housing\, and voting rights. In Learning to Lead\, sociologist Veronica Terriquez examines how youth organizing groups facilitate the civic and political engagement of low-income\, second-generation immigrant adolescents\, enabling them to collectively exercise power alongside their non-immigrant peers and adult allies. \nAbout the Author \nDr. Veronica Terriquez is professor of urban planning\, Chicana/o studies\, and Central American studies at UCLA and serves as the director of the Chicano Studies Research Center. A sociologist by training\, her research focuses on social inequality\, civic engagement\, health\, and youth transitions to adulthood among Latinx and other diverse populations. She has extensive experience working with a broad range of community stakeholders\, having partnered with youth\, labor\, arts\, education\, health and local government institutions. She is an expert in participatory action research (PAR)\, and has co-authored with colleagues and students over forty widely disseminated research reports on labor\, community\, and youth organizing. In 2021\, she received the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education University Faculty Award and the American Sociological Association Award for Public Sociology in International Migration.\n\n

SUMMARY:Social Justice in Climate Finance Symposium
DESCRIPTION:December 4\, 2026 at UC Santa Cruz\nThe Social Justice in Climate Finance Symposium brings together global communities within and beyond academia to envision how to mobilize climate financing for the benefit of frontline communities.

We welcome climate and environmental justice leaders across sectors to propose their priorities and approaches for inclusive climate investments from public\, private\, and individual sources. The goal of the symposium is to identify pathways for adaptation and mitigation funding to protect and empower those experiencing the most acute climate impacts by aligning investment strategies with academic approaches and governmental policies\, while centering community voices. \nThe in-person\, one-day symposium at UC Santa Cruz will include two keynote addresses from Dave Jones\, former California Insurance Commissioner and a community leader to be identified through the nomination detailed process below (TBC). We will also feature presenters\, including local and global leaders from CBOs\, Environmental Justice (EJ) and Climate Justice (CJ) practitioners\, policymakers\, and academics. \nWe are currently accepting: \n\nNominations for keynote community speaker\nCall for presenters\n\nVisit our website to learn more \nSponsored by University of California Santa Cruz: Center for Analytical Finance (CAFIN)\, Institute for Social Transformation\, Center for Coastal Climate Resilience\, and Center for Reimagining Leadership.
