SUMMARY:OLLI at UCSC Sunday Speaker Meeting
DESCRIPTION:OLLI at UCSC Hosts Bruce Lyon\, Professor\, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology\nThe Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at UC Santa Cruz invites the public to an in-person presentation from 10:00 to noon on Sunday\, March 15th\, in the Colleges Nine/Lewis Multipurpose Room at UCSC. \nJoin us for a social hour and a presentation titled\, Sparrows in the Mist: Complex Winter Social Behavior in a Little Brown Bird. \nOrnithologists often study breeding birds\, and as a result\, the winter ecology and social behavior of migratory birds is relatively understudied. A 22-year study of a population of golden-crowned sparrows that winter in the Arboretum of the University of California\, Santa Cruz was conducted. Each sparrow was given a unique combination of color bands\, which allowed us to identify individual birds in the wild and monitor their behavior and survival. Given that they survive migration and breeding\, individual sparrows return winter after winter to the arboretum and flock together with the same individuals as in previous years. We used innovative social network methods to understand the patterns of social organization and discovered remarkable social complexity in these birds that is similar in some ways to the societies of mammals\, including primates. \nProfessor Lyon seeks to understand the ecological and evolutionary basis of reproductive strategies and social behavior in animals\, particularly reproductive parasitism\, parental care\, and mating systems. One focus is to understand patterns of cooperation and reproductive parasitism in birds and insects. His passion for photography has also been very useful in his research. \nOLLI at UCSC is a community of adults from diverse educational\, occupational\, and geographic backgrounds who are devoted to the pursuit of learning. This event is free and open to the public. Bring a friend. Coffee and nibbles will be served. \nFor directions and free parking information\, visit: https://olli.ucsc.edu/monthly-gatherings/location-directions-and-parking/ \nFree and open to the public \n  \nPresented by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Teng\, Z. (CM) - Visualizing Player Processes: Towards Design Guidelines for Interactive Process Visualization Tools in Game Analytics
DESCRIPTION:Game analysts face a significant challenge in understanding problem-solving and decision-making processes from the vast and complex sequential data generated by modern video games. Existing visualization tools often fail to adequately support the exploration\, suffering from issues of visual clutter\, inflexible cohort construction\, and a lack of interactive depth. To address this gap\, this dissertation adopts a Research through Design (RtD) methodology to investigate how an interactive process visualization system can be designed and developed to better support the needs of game analysts. \nThe research was conducted in three phases. First\, an initial set of five design guidelines was identified through a breakdown analysis of existing tools and semi-structured interviews with professional game analysts. Second\, these guidelines were iteratively refined through long-term\, collaborative case studies with analysts working on diverse commercial games. This process not only validated the initial guidelines and surfaced one additional guideline concerning interactive inspection\, but also resulted in INSPECT\, an interactive process visualization prototyping system that embodies the refined guidelines. Third\, the guidelines were empirically validated through two complementary user studies of the INSPECT system. A controlled experiment demonstrated that features designed according to the guidelines enabled participants to identify player strategies more efficiently than with a baseline system\, while a qualitative study with professional Dota 2 coaches and players demonstrated the system’s practical value for strategic analysis and strong usability. \nThe primary contributions of this dissertation to the fields of game analytics and information visualization is a set of validated design guidelines for process visualization tools. This contribution provides a durable and transferable framework for the design and development of more effective\, analyst-centered tools for understanding player problem-solving and decision-making processes. \nEvent Host: Zhaoqing Teng\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Computational Media  \nAdvsior: Magy Seif El-Nasr \nZoom- https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/97624383966?pwd=NGolaaTbhdytPcDK6aRIBDIv63b8lm.1 \nPasscode-595285

SUMMARY:Karen Russell - The Antidote
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes bestselling author Karen Russell (Swamplandia!) for a discussion about her latest novel The Antidote\, which will be available in paperback on the night of the event. “The Antidote blends speculative and fantasy elements with rich language and vivid characters in an effort not to escape reality but to comment even more thoughtfully on it. . . . Russell’s lyrical writing dazzles on every page.” —The New York Times \n \nYour RSVP helps us plan for your arrival and keep in touch with any changes. Thank you for registering! \nThe Antidote opens on Black Sunday\, as a historic dust storm ravages the fictional town of Uz\, Nebraska. But Uz is already collapsing—not just under the weight of the Great Depression and the dust bowl drought but beneath its own violent histories. The Antidote follows a “Prairie Witch\,” whose body serves as a bank vault for peoples’ memories and secrets; a Polish wheat farmer who learns how quickly a hoarded blessing can become a curse; his orphan niece\, a basketball star and witch’s apprentice in furious flight from her grief; a voluble scarecrow; and a New Deal photographer whose time-traveling camera threatens to reveal both the town’s secrets and its fate. \nKaren Russell is the author of six books of fiction\, including the New York Times bestsellers Swamplandia! and Vampires in the Lemon Grove. She has received MacArthur and Guggenheim Fellowships and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Born and raised in Miami\, Florida\, she now lives in the Bay Area with her husband\, son\, and daughter. The Antidote\, a national bestseller and a finalist for the National Book Award\, is her second novel. \nThis event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Undiscovered Shakespeare: The Two Noble Kinsmen - Episode III
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare returns to the characters and themes of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in what may have been the last play he had a hand in writing: The Two Noble Kinsmen. This time\, however\, the story of Theseus and Hippolyta\, the disorienting experience of adolescent sexual desire\, and the conflict of duties to sovereigns\, parents\, friends\, and spouses are no laughing matter. It’s over-shadowed by the play’s source text — Chaucer’s Knight’s Tale\, in which chance foils Theseus’s best efforts to create order out of chaos and meaning out of loss — and by Shakespeare’s own experience writing tragedy and tragicomedy. \n \nThomas Luxon is Professor of English\, Emeritus at Dartmouth College\, where he was also the inaugural Cheheyl Professor and Director of the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning. His teaching and scholarship focus on literature of the English Renaissance and Reformation\, with a particular interest in John Milton\, John Bunyan\, John Dryden\, and 17th-century English religion and politics. In his revelatory book\, Single Imperfection: Milton\, Marriage\, and Friendship (Duquesne UP\, 2005)\, Professor Luxon explores the impact of ancient theories of friendship on Milton’s conception of Reformation marriage\, and during the pandemic\, he contributed a lecture about the rivalry of friendship and marriage in Two Noble Kinsmen to Ian Doescher’s Shakespeare 2020 Project. \nUndiscovered Shakespeare is a public arts and humanities series co-produced by Santa Cruz Shakespeare\, UCSC Shakespeare Workshop\, and The Humanities Institute. It brings professional actors and scholars together with the public for a staged reading and discussion of works by Shakespeare that are rarely produced.

SUMMARY:The Future of Work in the Age of AI: March Slugs and Steins with Dean PK Agarwal
DESCRIPTION:The Future of Work in the Age of AI: Chaos\, Adaptation\, or Growth? \nArtificial intelligence has reignited an old debate: are we approaching mass technological unemployment\, or simply the next phase of economic evolution? Public discourse swings between dystopian predictions of human obsolescence and confident assurances that “new jobs will replace old ones.” This lecture steps back from speculation and examines evidence. Drawing on economic history and disruptive change\, going back to the wheel and the printing press to electrification\, computers\, and the internet—we explore how societies have repeatedly confronted disruptive change: moments when existing skills\, institutions\, and expectations no longer matched the pace of innovation. The goal is not to predict the future\, but to provide a framework for thinking about it—what AI may automate\, what it may amplify\, and why the real disruption may be the speed of adaptation rather than the disappearance of work itself. The talk concludes with implications for higher education\, workforce development\, and how individuals can remain resilient in an age where intelligence is no longer exclusively human. \nREGISTER \n
