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:James Spooner in conversation with Johnny Damm on AFROPUNK\, anger\, and other things
DESCRIPTION:The Institute of the Arts and Sciences invites you to a conversation with filmmaker and graphic novelist James Spooner about his latest graphic novel\, moderated by cartoonist Johnny Damm. It Starts with Anger: A Punk Beginning. An AFROPUNK Ending tells the origin story of the multi-million-dollar AFROPUNK festival—beginning not with big stages or brand sponsorship\, but with one mixed-race teenager’s search for belonging in the nineties New York City punk scene. \nThe conversation will be followed by a book signing by Spooner. Local author and punk historian John Malkin will also be signing his new book\, Punk Spirit! – An Oral History of Punk Rock\, Spirituality\, and Liberation\, and Johnny Damm will have his latest comic\, I’m a Cop: Real Life Horror Comics No. 3 available.

SUMMARY:Social Justice in Climate Finance Symposium
DESCRIPTION:December 4\, 2026 at UC Santa Cruz\, Silicon Valley Campus\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 will include two keynote addresses from our community keynote speaker\, Silvia Paz\, Founder and Executive Director\, Alianza Coachella Valley\, and Dave Jones\, former California Insurance Commissioner. \nWe will also feature presenters\, including local and global leaders from CBOs\, Environmental Justice (EJ) and Climate Justice (CJ) practitioners\, policymakers\, and academics. \nParticipation will be limited to 50 people to ensure a meaningful discussion as a large group. Apply to attend or to host a breakout room discussion. \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.
