SUMMARY:Amplifying the History Curriculum for Multilingual Learners
DESCRIPTION:Join us to discuss how teachers can “amplify” rather than “simplify” history instruction for multilingual learners (and all students) by engaging with historical texts and interactive learning opportunities. We are celebrating the publication of the 2nd edition of Amplifying the Curriculum: Designing Quality Learning Opportunities for Multilingual Learners\, which includes a chapter co-authored by Professor George Bunch and HCP Director Dr. Daisy Martin. \nWe will focus on the History/Social Studies chapter titled\, “Selecting\, Preparing\, and Using Multiple texts in the History Classroom\, ” and consider teaching the Deportations of the 1930s. The event will include presentations and discussions about creating inclusive learning environments and advancing equity using student-centered curriculum frameworks! We will host these events at both a Santa Cruz County and Monterey County location. \nDATE: FEBRUARY 19 & MARCH 18\, 2026 \nTIME: 4:30-6:30 \nTWO LOCATIONS: COMMUNITY FOUNDATION SANTA CRUZ COUNTY IN APTOS & CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY MONTEREY BAY \nRegister for Community Foundation Santa Cruz County in Aptos Location Here (Feb. 19) \nRegister for California State University Monterey Bay Location Here (Mar. 18) \nFree books for the first 15 registrants who attend! \nThis event is supported in part by a grant from the Institute for Social Transformation at the University of California\, Santa Cruz \n\n\nAmplifying the History Curriculum for Multilingual Learners Flyer  DOWNLOAD

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
