Visualizing Abolition Screening Series: Beyond Access
2026-04-12 12:00 - 17:00, 2026-04-11 12:00 - 17:00, 2026-04-10 12:00 - 17:00 | Institute of the Arts and Sciences, 100 Panetta Ave, Santa Cruz, United States
On view in the IAS Screening Room is a selection of short films curated by Visualizing Abolition Visiting Faculty Fellow Dr. Pooja Rangan.
Prisons deny and censor the access of those trapped inside them—to information, to intimacy, to community, to meaningful work, to nourishment of all kinds, and perhaps most cruelly, to care. This program assembles a series of films, including works by filmmakers incarcerated in California as well as others without that lived experience. Together, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (the hospital, the university), turning access into a scarce commodity by enclosing what should be held in common. Questioning the carceral and state-sponsored productions of disability and accessibility, the short films together reveal the courage of people working despite limitations to produce collective access for one another, described simply and beautifully by disability justice activist Leah-Lakshmi Piepzna Samarasinha as “revolutionary love without charity.”

Spring Exhibitions at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences
2026-04-12 12:00 - 17:00, 2026-04-11 12:00 - 17:00, 2026-04-10 12:00 - 17:00 | Institute of the Arts and Sciences, 100 Panetta Ave, Santa Cruz, United States
Visit the IAS, UCSC’s premier art galleries, for our spring exhibitions. On view April 10–August 16, 2026 are three diverse and interdisciplinary shows: Libia Posada: Everything is Going Right, the first US solo exhibition by the Colombia-based artist and medical doctor; Gina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj, a site-specific and immersive exploration of the Haitian kreyol conception of rasanblaj; and Ronaldo V. Wilson: There Are No Words, But Melodies, a mixed-media exhibition emerging at the intersections of Black poetics, performance, and visual art.
The IAS Galleries are open Wednesday-Sunday, 12 pm – 5 pm. Admission is free to the public.
Libia Posada: Everything is Going Right
Libia Posada’s first solo exhibition in the United States features installations, sculptures, and drawings meticulously constructed from surgical instruments, gauze bandages, crutches, used books, and domestic picture frames. The new and existing works in the exhibition powerfully stitch together the personal, social, and political disorders and afflictions that currently trouble the world, from the wars that resonate across the globe to the violences of aging in US prisons.
Gina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj: Origins & Disentanglements
The internationally-lauded work of humanities professor Gina Athena Ulysse is on view as a premier Faculty Spotlight Exhibition. The site-specific installation, produced in community from things collected, found, purchased and donated, centers on the Haitian concept of rasanblaj, a form of assembly and collage that transcends the formal use of materials to draw together people, spirits, and ideas.
Ronaldo V. Wilson: There Are No Words, But Melodies
Collage is both a material practice and a structural interrogation in the Faculty Spotlight Exhibition artworks by literature professor Ronaldo V. Wilson. In video, painting, and installation, layers and folds conceal and reveal, delving into the experience, both bodily and emotive, of living in times of violence.

BME 80G Seminar: Sara Ackerman - Doing Ethics From The Inside: Collaboration, Critique, and Contradiction in Team Science
2026-04-10 13:20 - 14:25 | Jack Baskin Auditorium, 191 Baskin Cir, Santa Cruz, CA, 95064
Presenter: Sara Ackerman, Medical Anthropologist and Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, San Francisco
Description: Team science has been widely promoted as a collaborative, cross-disciplinary approach to addressing key scientific questions, yet power differences and epistemic hierarchies persist. This talk explores "embedded ethics"—a model in which social scientists and ethicists work directly with scientific research teams. Drawing on findings from an empirical ethics project embedded in a multi-year clinical genomics study, I demonstrate how qualitative methods and participatory design can shift the researcher-participant dynamic toward greater reciprocity and attention to enrolled families’ experiences. At the same time, ethicists and social scientists can find themselves in an uncomfortable and even paradoxical position, expected to facilitate project goals—such as recruitment of historically underrepresented groups—while simultaneously critically assessing the very categories of difference and measures being used. In the future, team science collaborations can result in more just and broadly beneficial science if social science, humanities and community partners are able to meaningfully contribute to the research agenda itself.
Bio: Sara Ackerman, PhD, MPH, is a medical anthropologist and Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco. Her research draws on ethnographic methods and public engagement to examine how genomics, artificial intelligence and other emerging medical technologies affect the lives of patients and caregivers and shape conceptions of health, illness and the public good. Sara teaches courses on community-engaged research, qualitative methods, and research ethics at UCSF. As Director of the Bioethics and Regulatory Support Program for UCSF’s Clinical and Translational Science Institute, she is working to increase patient and public participation in decisions about the use of AI in clinical care and the sharing of patients’ clinical data for research.

Taming Two Scorpions: Climate Science Tipping Points Meet Finance Tail Risks
2026-04-10 08:00 - 17:00
When two quite different disciplines make eerily similar predictions about the future of the planet and human societies, they deserve notice. Climate scientists warn that we may be heading toward a Hothouse Earth “inhospitable to … human societies,” with “increasingly catastrophic impacts” possibly “worldwide societal breakdown.” Finance and actuarial science emphasize the importance of tail risk (rare adverse events). Planning and preparing for them is essential to the survival of insurance companies, pension funds, banks, and the entire financial system. In Climate Salon 6, Economist Dan Friedman and Environmental Sociologist Andy Szasz team up to show how these disciplinary perspectives interconnect and what they say about the path forward.
Tues Apr 28 3:30-5 pm, Center for Adaptive Optics Atrium or via zoom (free and open to the public!)
Dan Friedman is Distinguished Professor of Economics Emeritus at UCSC. The author of 6 books, over 100 research articles and the recipient of 14 National Science Foundation grants, Dan has begun to apply his expertise in finance and evolutionary game theory to issues in environmental economics.
Andrew Szasz is Professor Emeritus of Environmental Studies. At UCSC he taught courses on Classical and Contemporary Social Theory, Environmental Sociology and Environmental Justice. He has written books and articles on environmental regulation, the grassroots toxics movement, green consuming, environmental justice and climate change.

Ticknor, B. (STAT) - Clustering and Tractable Multivariate Inference for Extremes
2026-04-09 10:00 - 12:00 | Engineering 2, Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA, 95064
Modeling environmental extremes often involves large collections of spatial or temporal records where both clustering similar series and modeling dependence among extremes are challenging tasks. This Ph.D. proposal addresses several related problems in extreme value analysis. In particular, we study how to cluster many time series based on their extremal behavior using strategies defined via univariate extremal models, motivated by an application to 975 coastal wave-height records. We also investigate the development of scalable multivariate models for dependent extremes. A tractable construction based on a latent multivariate $t$ process with generalized extreme value margins is proposed, together with a regularization strategy that encourages extremal dependence consistent with a max-stable limit while preserving likelihood-based inference. Together, these efforts aim to provide practical tools for analyzing large collections of environmental extremes.

Rethinking Stemflow: Distribution, Infiltration, and Isotopic Insights in Forests
2026-04-08 13:25 - 14:30
Juan Andres Pinos from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas
In Person Location: ISB 221
Zoom Link
Stemflow represents a spatially concentrated and chemically enriched flux of intercepted precipitation that delivers water and solutes to near‐stem soils. Conventional approaches neglect potential heterogeneity in stemflow redistribution aboveground and its subsurface infiltration pathways, introducing bias into forest water balance modeling. Furthermore, stemflow is almost always overlooked in isotope-based hydrological models, and consequently, its isotopic signature remains poorly characterized. Accounting for the stemflow isotopic signal may reduce uncertainty estimates of near-stem water sources and flow pathways. To address these gaps, we combined field experimentation with stable water isotope tracing to investigate (i) the circumferential distribution of stemflow along tree trunks, (ii) its preferential infiltration pathways, and (iii) isotopic modification during canopy interception and redistribution. Our results demonstrate that stemflow is non-uniformly distributed around the trunk, with patterns influenced by tree lean and canopy structure. Upon reaching the soil, stemflow preferentially infiltrates along coarse roots and macropores, extending both vertically and laterally within the soil matrix. Additionally, stemflow exhibits isotopic enrichment relative to open rainfall, reflecting canopy retention and evaporative fractionation during interception. These findings challenge assumptions of uniform stemflow distribution, refine mechanistic models of stemflow infiltration, and highlight isotopic modification. Together, they advance understanding of forest–water interactions and their implications for landscape hydrology.
