SUMMARY:Film Screening: Shimmering with Matte Hewitt\, MFA
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Documentary Arts and Research (CDAR) and the UCSC American Indian Resource Center (AIRC) are honored to invite you to the Shimmering Film Screening and Q&A Discussion with invited Guest Panelists\, on Friday\, November 14th\, 2025 in Studio C of the Communications Building at UC Santa Cruz. \nSHIMMERING (2025\, 20 min) is an essay film poetically investigating creation\, extraction\, and second lives. Guided by the luminous figure of Hummingbird\, SHIMMERING moves through place-based ways of knowing\, tracing the entanglement between biological studies of hummingbirds and the rise of military drone technology. The film also features storytelling and insights from Mutsun Ohlone and Tribal Chair of Indian Canyon\, Kanyon “Coyote Woman” Sayers-Roods. Through interwoven narratives of land\, militarization\, taxidermy\, Native regalia\, the filmmaker’s relationship with their trans identity—and with a hummingbird they name Anna–the filmmaker learns about Central California Native Land and culture. Blurring the lines between documentary\, personal letter\, and ecological study\, the film invites viewers to consider new forms of kinship across species\, systems\, and histories.Gentle yet provocative\, SHIMMERING offers a multispecies meditation on knowledge\, power\, and connection. \nFollowing the film screening will be a Q&A Discussion facilitated by Associate Professor Selmin Kara who will be joined by the filmmaker\, Matte Hewitt\, a film participant\, Gizelle Hurtado\, and a film interlocutor Angel Riotutar\, Director of the UCSC American Indian Resource Center. With respect to Native American Heritage Month\, Angel will speak with us about learning as a non-Native person. How do we do so respectfully and with reciprocity?

SUMMARY:Road Trip! Light in the American West\, from Baja to the Yukon
DESCRIPTION:The photographs in this exhibition\, made between 2004 and 2025\, span across the American West from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to The Yukon territory in Canada. Paul Schoellhamer’s (Cowell ‘69) color photographs invite us to travel with him and reflect on our relationship to land\, the light that shapes it\, and the freedom – contested but essential – to move across it. \nThe exhibition draws on voices across time and perspective that frame the American landscape as more than a stage for beauty and awe. For Chief Satanta of the Kiowa Nation\, to roam the land freely was life itself. For N. Scott Momaday\, land must be “believed to be seen.” For Eliot Porter\, light and reflection imparted magic to Glen Canyon’s waters. For Wallace Stegner\, saving natural places meant saving fragments of our collective sanity. For Brook M. Thompson\, the Klamath River is recognized with personhood. Alongside these perspectives\, Paul’s images press us to see public land not as scenery to extract or aestheticize\, but as sustenance and history. Land is alive and contested. To see closely is not to linger on a romanticized vision of the American landscape\, but to reckon with responsibility: how we safeguard access\, how we imagine “wildness\,” and how we hold space for futures beyond our own. For Paul\, this exhibition is a call for students to encounter land and light firsthand and let those encounters be their teachers. \nOpening Reception\nOctober 4\, 2025\n1-4pm \n—– \nJoin us every Friday for Art Fridays.\nNo experience necessary. Supplies and snacks provided. \n\nSep 26 Snail Mail/Postcards\nOct 3 Souvenir Keychains\nOct 10 Stamp Magnets\nOct 17 Cyanotype Totebags/Pouches/Pencil cases\nOct 24 Candy Around The World Linocuts\nOct 31 Abstract Felt Collages\nNov 7 Phone Photos/Buttons\nNov 14 Travel Related Patches With Upcycled Materials\nNov 21 Thanksgiving Break! No Art Friday\nNov 28 Unexpected Landscape Surrealist Collage\n\nPlease note that the date and the project is subject to change.

SUMMARY:Applied Microeconomics and Trade Seminar Series presents: Giovanni Peri
DESCRIPTION:Applied Microeconomics and Trade Seminar\nDate: Thursday\, November 13\, 2025\nTime: 1:40-3:00 p.m.\nLocation: E2-499\n\n \n\nSpeaker: Giovanni Peri\nTitle: C. Bryan Cameron Distinguished Professor in International Economics \nAffiliation: UC Davis\nHost: Gueyon Kim\n \nSeminar title: How the1942 Japanese Exclusion Impacted U.S. Agriculture\n \nABSTRACT:  In the early 1940s\, Japanese American farmers and farm workers represented an important part of agriculture-specific human capital in the United States. In 1942 all those living in the “exclusion zone” along the WestCoastwereforcefully relocated to internment camps and most of them never returned to farming. Using county-level panel data from historical agricultural censuses and a triple-difference (DDD) estimation approach we find that\, by 1960\, counties in the exclusion zone experienced 12% lower cumulative growth in farm value for each percentage point loss of their 1940 share of Japanese farm workers\, relative to counties outside the exclusion zone. Farm revenues\, farm productivity\, adoption of high-value crops\, mechanization\, and farm wages were also correspondingly lower. Taken together\, these findings are consistent with Japanese farmers representing hard-to-replace human capital\, rather than replaceable labor\, in US agriculture.

SUMMARY:Road Trip! Light in the American West\, from Baja to the Yukon
DESCRIPTION:The photographs in this exhibition\, made between 2004 and 2025\, span across the American West from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to The Yukon territory in Canada. Paul Schoellhamer’s (Cowell ‘69) color photographs invite us to travel with him and reflect on our relationship to land\, the light that shapes it\, and the freedom – contested but essential – to move across it. \nThe exhibition draws on voices across time and perspective that frame the American landscape as more than a stage for beauty and awe. For Chief Satanta of the Kiowa Nation\, to roam the land freely was life itself. For N. Scott Momaday\, land must be “believed to be seen.” For Eliot Porter\, light and reflection imparted magic to Glen Canyon’s waters. For Wallace Stegner\, saving natural places meant saving fragments of our collective sanity. For Brook M. Thompson\, the Klamath River is recognized with personhood. Alongside these perspectives\, Paul’s images press us to see public land not as scenery to extract or aestheticize\, but as sustenance and history. Land is alive and contested. To see closely is not to linger on a romanticized vision of the American landscape\, but to reckon with responsibility: how we safeguard access\, how we imagine “wildness\,” and how we hold space for futures beyond our own. For Paul\, this exhibition is a call for students to encounter land and light firsthand and let those encounters be their teachers. \nOpening Reception\nOctober 4\, 2025\n1-4pm \n—– \nJoin us every Friday for Art Fridays.\nNo experience necessary. Supplies and snacks provided. \n\nSep 26 Snail Mail/Postcards\nOct 3 Souvenir Keychains\nOct 10 Stamp Magnets\nOct 17 Cyanotype Totebags/Pouches/Pencil cases\nOct 24 Candy Around The World Linocuts\nOct 31 Abstract Felt Collages\nNov 7 Phone Photos/Buttons\nNov 14 Travel Related Patches With Upcycled Materials\nNov 21 Thanksgiving Break!

SUMMARY:Haunting Interruptions: Race\, Infrastructural Violence\, and Spatial Memory in Ferguson\, Missouri
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, November 13th from 12:00-1:15pm\, join the Sociology Department together with the Center for Critical Urban & Environmental Studies (CUES)\, The Black Geographies Lab\, Critical Race and Ethnic Studies\, and History in the Rachel Carson College Red Room\, to welcome speaker Rashad Timmons (UC PPFP) for a discussion on Race\, Infrastructural Violence\, and Spatial Memory in Ferguson\, Missouri moderated by Camilla Hawthorne (UC Santa Cruz). \nThis presentation engages the racial politics of infrastructural violence and spatial memory in Ferguson\, Missouri—the historically-white suburb of St. Louis and site of the tragic police killing of Black\, 18-year-old Michael Brown\, Jr. in August 2014. It critically examines the use of blockades\, space-based protests\, and other forms of infrastructural disruption by Black subjects in Ferguson before and after Michael Brown Jr.’s execution\, paying specific attention to the mnemonic work these practices perform. It argues that Black subjects in Ferguson deploy these tactics of spatial intervention not only to claim space in Ferguson’s suburban landscape but to haunt its collective memory. These disruptive practices—what I call “haunting interruptions”—disturb or interfere with the normative function of infrastructures such as roads and highways to reveal\, indict\, and account for the historical racist logics underlying (sub)urban life. The presentation grounds haunting interruptions in an examination of historical and contemporary protests in the notorious apartment complex where Michael Brown Jr. perished and finds that Black subjects use protest and blockage as spatial tactics not simply to force state\, institutional\, or corporate entities to act but to surface the memory of persistent racial suffering that exceeds reparation and is acutely sedimented in the suburban geography. \nRashad Arman Timmons (he/him) is a community builder\, musician\, writer\, scholar\, and educator from Detroit\, Michigan\, the ancestral and present homelands of the Anishinaabeg. The proud son of factory workers\, he teaches and writes broadly about race\, urban infrastructure\, mobility\, and power in the midwestern United States\, es Black people’s longstanding use of the built environment to imagine a freer and more just world. Rashad earned his Ph.D. in African American and African Diaspora Studies from the University of California\, Berkeley\, where he researched the violent and racist history of infrastructural development (e.g.\, railways\, roads\, telecommunications) and policing in Ferguson\, Missouri. Rashad is currently a University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in Black Studies at UC Santa Barbara\, where he is writing a book about the plunder and persistence of Black geographies in Ferguson. \nAlongside his scholarly work\, Rashad serves and organizes with the Michael Brown Sr. Chosen for Change Organization to uplift the life and legacy of Michael “Mike Mike” Brown Jr. In this role\, Rashad leads public history and community engagement projects dedicated to uncovering and preserving Black history in Ferguson and St. Louis. He also writes grants to support the Brown family’s healing and racial justice efforts throughout the St.  Louis metropolitan area. As lead grant writer\, Rashad has secured more than a half a million dollars of direct funding to the family’s non-profit organization. \nRashad currently lives in Oakland\, California—the unceded lands of the Lisjan Ohlone—where he delivers political education to Bay Area youth and supports organizations working to end police terrorism in the U.S. and abroad. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Center for Critical Urban & Environmental Studies (CUES) together with The Black Geographies Lab\, the Sociology Department\, Critical Race and Ethic Studies\, and History.

SUMMARY:Petety\, A. (CSE) -  New Algorithmic Methods for Uncertain Inputs
DESCRIPTION:This dissertation focuses on designing and proving performance guarantees on algorithms when there is uncertainty in the input. The uncertainty could be from the user being unsure or future inputs that have not arrived yet. We look at different methods in which algorithms can be designed to be competitive against the optimal. One of the assumptions that helps in this is to assume that the input arrival order is completely random. We study the online load/graph balancing problem when the input arrival order is uniformly random. We show lower bounds for the greedy algorithm and the general case. In the next part\, we study the online scheduling problem under the assumption that the online algorithm has an additional ϵ speed compared to the machines in offline optimal. We show a meta algorithm generalizing Shortest Remaining Processing Time that gives a scalable algorithm for minimizing total weighted flow time. We show that it achieves scalability for minimizing total weighted flow time when the residual optimum exhibits supermodularity. In the final part we look at the online caching problem when the algorithm has access to ML-augmented predictions. We propose an algorithm that achieves a O(logb k) competitive ratio even when using just b predictions per cache miss. We also prove its robustness and consistency. \nEvent Host: Aditya Petety\, Ph.D. Student\, Computer Science and Engineering \nAdvisor: Sungjin Im \n

SUMMARY:Plenary Session for Crown Students: Chatbots on the Couch: AI\, Mental Health\, and the Ethics of Digital Empathy
DESCRIPTION:Location: Merrill/Crown Auditorium\nEvent Type: Panel Discussion / Plenary Session\nSponsor: Crown College\nOpen to: UCSC Students\, Faculty\, and Staff \n\nEvent Description: \nAs artificial intelligence increasingly shapes mental healthcare—from chatbots offering therapeutic support to algorithms detecting early signs of distress—we face urgent ethical questions about trust\, privacy\, bias\, and the future of human connection in care. \nJoin us for a compelling panel discussion featuring three distinguished experts who will explore the promises and perils of AI in mental health: \nPanelists: \nDr. Lisa A. Berkley – Director of Crown Resiliency Program and Founder Executive Director of the Center for Applied Values & Ethics in Advancing Technology (CAVEAT) at UCSC; Founder and President of the Institute for Inner Economy \nAlka Roy – Technology and product leader with deep expertise in Machine Learning/AI\, privacy\, and trust frameworks. Ms. Roy founded the Responsible Innovation Project\, serves on multiple open-source Responsible and Trusted AI committees\, and holds multiple patents for policy and security frameworks. She has received national recognition as a Rising Star and National Women of Color in Technology honoree. With degrees in both Electrical Engineering/Computer Science and an MFA in Creative Writing\, Ms. Roy brings a unique interdisciplinary perspective to questions of technology ethics and innovation. \nLinda MacDonald Glenn\, JD\, LLM\, Faculty at Crown College and co-founder of the Center for Applied Values and Ethics in Advancing Technologies (CAVEAT.UCSC.EDU) \nWhat We’ll Explore: \n\nWhen does AI complement human care\, and when does it replace it dangerously?\nHow do we address algorithmic bias in mental health interventions?\nWhat ethical guardrails are needed when bots mimic empathy?\nWho is accountable when AI-driven mental health tools cause harm?\n\nThis panel brings together perspectives from bioethics\, clinical practice\, student well-being\, and technology leadership to examine the real-world ethical challenges of AI deployment in mental healthcare—a topic of profound relevance given recent concerns about chatbot safety\, algorithmic bias\, and the commercialization of mental health technologies. \nThis event connects directly to critical questions about responsibility\, justice\, and the sociopolitical implications of emerging technologies. Come prepared to think critically about innovation that claims to heal—and to question whose interests are truly being served. \nAdmission: Free and open to the UCSC community \n

SUMMARY:Book Talk with Winnie Wong—VMCC Series
DESCRIPTION:In this public talk\, Winnie Wong presents and discusses her most recent book\, The Many Names of Anonymity: Portraitists of the Canton Trade. She explores two countervailing urgencies in contemporary cultural politics: the drive to recognize all individuals as artists so that they may be granted the rights and privileges of authorship; and\, at the same time\, the inadequacy of the modern figure of “the artist” to contain the ingenuity\, imagination\, and originality of anonymous workers. It does so by focusing on a long marginalized but ubiquitous genre of painting: portraits produced by Chinese artisans in the port of Guangzhou for European merchants at the height of the Qing dynasty. In this relationship\, makers are anonymized\, while merchants’ lives are preserved in vivid detail\, but portraiture occasions the empirical scene of their encounter. This book charts a framework for understanding visual production and trade across overlapping imperial spaces\, and demonstrates how contemporary art historical inquiry can yet decouple authorial names from authorial works\, a step necessary to looking anew at anonymity\, multiplicity\, and the ingenuity of nameless artisans. \nWinnie Wong is a professor of rhetoric at the University of California\, Berkeley. She is an art historian with a special interest in fakes\, forgeries and counterfeits. \nThis event is presented as part of the Visual & Media Cultures Colloquium (VMCC) series.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Open seating/admission (no ticket or registration required)\n– FREE and open to the public.\n– Located at Porter College D245\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n– Wed.\, Nov 12: Book Talk with Winnie Wong\n– Additional dates to be announced\n—\nPARKING\n– Lot 124 & 125 are the closest parking lots to the event\n– Parking by permit or ParkMobile\n– TAPS provides additional parking information\n—\nABOUT THE SERIES\nThis event is presented as part of the Visual & Media Cultures Colloquium (VMCC)\, an annual lecture series that brings cutting-edge scholars to speak on a broad range of subjects related to visual and media culture.

SUMMARY:Road Trip! Light in the American West\, from Baja to the Yukon
DESCRIPTION:The photographs in this exhibition\, made between 2004 and 2025\, span across the American West from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to The Yukon territory in Canada. Paul Schoellhamer’s (Cowell ‘69) color photographs invite us to travel with him and reflect on our relationship to land\, the light that shapes it\, and the freedom – contested but essential – to move across it. \nThe exhibition draws on voices across time and perspective that frame the American landscape as more than a stage for beauty and awe. For Chief Satanta of the Kiowa Nation\, to roam the land freely was life itself. For N. Scott Momaday\, land must be “believed to be seen.” For Eliot Porter\, light and reflection imparted magic to Glen Canyon’s waters. For Wallace Stegner\, saving natural places meant saving fragments of our collective sanity. For Brook M. Thompson\, the Klamath River is recognized with personhood. Alongside these perspectives\, Paul’s images press us to see public land not as scenery to extract or aestheticize\, but as sustenance and history. Land is alive and contested. To see closely is not to linger on a romanticized vision of the American landscape\, but to reckon with responsibility: how we safeguard access\, how we imagine “wildness\,” and how we hold space for futures beyond our own. For Paul\, this exhibition is a call for students to encounter land and light firsthand and let those encounters be their teachers. \nOpening Reception\nOctober 4\, 2025\n1-4pm \n—– \nJoin us every Friday for Art Fridays.\nNo experience necessary. Supplies and snacks provided. \n\nSep 26 Snail Mail/Postcards\nOct 3 Souvenir Keychains\nOct 10 Stamp Magnets\nOct 17 Cyanotype Totebags/Pouches/Pencil cases\nOct 24 Candy Around The World Linocuts\nOct 31 Abstract Felt Collages\nNov 7 Phone Photos/Buttons\nNov 14 Travel Related Patches With Upcycled Materials\nNov 21 Thanksgiving Break!

SUMMARY:Neolithic by Sea: the social ecology of the spread of farming in the Adriatic - a view from Dalmatia
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Sarah B. McClure (UC Santa Barbara) will present Neolithic by Sea: the social ecology of the spread of farming in the Adriatic – a view from Dalmatia at the Archaeology and Biological Anthropology (Arch/BioAnth) Lunch Talk on Wednesday\, November 12th at noon in 261\, Social Sciences 1. \nPresentation Abstract: The last 20 years of research have provided new insights on Mesolithic foragers and early Neolithic farmers in the Adriatic. Excavations\, material analyses\, and the application of new methodologies have characterized a diversity of late Mesolithic and early Neolithic lifeways and the role of trans-Adriatic interactions for the spread of farming. Discoveries of underwater sites have also highlighted some of the taphonomic challenges for Mesolithic and Neolithic sites presented by post-glacial environmental change. This presentation highlights our current understanding of the Mesolithic to Neolithic transition in the Adriatic and the roles played by foraging populations\, social interactions\, and environment for the spread of farming beginning 8\,000 years ago. Our research on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia seeks to characterize Neolithic farming societies and ultimately explore the processes underlying the eventual dominance of domestic plant and animal-based subsistence in the region. \nAbout the Presenter: Sarah B. McClure is a Professor of Anthropology\, Director of the Mediterranean Prehistory and Paleoecology Laboratory\, and Associate Dean in the Division of Undergraduate Education at UC Santa Barbara. She is also a National Geographic Explorer and Public Voices Fellow of the OpEd Project and UCSB.

SUMMARY:CSE Colloquium - Neurosymbolic AI: from research to industry
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Luis Lamb\, Catholic Institute of Technology\n\nAbstract:\nNeurosymbolic AI brings together the statistical nature of machine learning with the formal reasoning capabilities of symbolic AI. It seeks to offer a balanced approach to contemporary AI technologies\, by combining the ability to learn from data\, with the capacity to reason upon knowledge acquired from an environment. The main criticism of neural machine learning lies in its lack of explainability and semantics\, which are key requirements in safety-critical applications\, yet inherent strengths of logic-based methods. Recently\, several corporations have publicly announced products and technologies grounded in neurosymbolic AI methodologies. This talk provided a concise review of the foundations\, frameworks and tools underlying neurosymbolic AI\, along with illustrative applications. It concludes by highlighting current trends and research directions in the field.\n\nBio:\nLuis Lamb is Professor of Computer Science and Vice President of Research at the Catholic Institute of Technology. His research interests include: Artificial Intelligence\, Neurosymbolic AI\, Innovation Strategies\, and Applied Logics. Lamb has co-authored two research monographs\, including Neural-Symbolic Cognitive Reasoning\, with d’Avila Garcez and Gabbay (Springer 2009). He organized two Dagstuhl Seminars on Neursymbolic AI\, published widely in AI\, and has worked in the area for over 20 years.  Lamb also has extensive experience leading research planning\, strategy\, and university wide research & infrastructure grant applications\, and strategic academic-industry partnerships. He has been a Professor in Brazil and has experience in industry as a former Senior Manager of AI and Machine Learning at Boeing. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Imperial College London and an MBA from MIT.\n\nHosted by: Professor Mohsen Lesani\n\nLocation: Engineering 2\, E2-180\n\n*Refreshments such as coffee and pastries will be provided.\n\nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93445911992?pwd=YkJ2TQtF79h0PcNXbEcpZLbpK0coiY.1&jst=3
