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:Welcome to the City: San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Welcome to the City in San Francisco\, hosted in partnership with the California State Parks Foundation at Candlestick Point SRA. The project will be held Saturday\, November 1 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. at Candlestick Point (500 Hunters Point Expy\, San Francisco\, CA 94124). Please register in advance to help us and our non-profit partner plan accordingly. \nProject description: \nHelp build brand new redwood picnic tables for our park! Volunteers must use proper lifting techniques when working with the heavy redwood planks and moving the tables once assembled. Some volunteers will be asked to use hammers and socket drivers\, so proper precautions should be taken to ensure safety. If participants would rather\, they can choose to pick up micro-trash and debris from the park. We will provide volunteers with tools and gloves. We recommend wearing long sleeved shirts and a hat. Ages 16 and older are welcome (minors must be accompanied by an adult and bring a waiver signed by their guardian). Snacks will be provided. \nWelcome to the City is an annual series of regional events which help alumni connect with their local UCSC community. While the program is designed with recent grads in mind\, all are welcome to participate. \nPlease contact alumni@ucsc.edu with questions.

SUMMARY:Human Acceptance of Autonomous Systems
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sina Nordhoff\, Postdoctoral Researcher\, Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Davis.\nTitle: Human Acceptance of Autonomous Systems.\nTime: Thursday\, Oct 30th\, 2025\, 2:00-3:00 pm.\nLocation: E2-506 or Zoom. \nAbstract: This seminar explores how society engages with autonomous transportation systems\, focusing on automated vehicles and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). Dr. Sina Nordhoff will present research on human acceptance\, trust\, and safety\, emphasizing that public confidence and social readiness are essential alongside technological progress. Drawing on theoretical models\, real-world applications\, and extensive empirical data\, including over 220 interviews and 40\,000 surveys\, Dr. Nordhoff will identify key factors shaping acceptance\, such as socio-demographics\, personality traits\, perceived risks and benefits\, and the effects of misuse or miscalibrated trust. The seminar will highlight how ethical considerations\, societal norms\, and regulatory frameworks influence deployment. Attendees will gain insight into how this work can guide policymakers\, industry\, and communities in ensuring responsible\, equitable\, and safe implementation. Dr. Nordhoff will also briefly discuss future research directions. \nSpeaker Bio: Dr. Sina Nordhoff is a leading expert in the field of human factors and user acceptance of new and emerging transportation technologies. She holds a Ph.D. from Delft University of Technology and is affiliated with the University of California\, Davis. Dr. Nordhoff specializes in electric vehicles and automated vehicles (AVs)\, focusing on how to responsibly integrate these innovations into society. Her research spans theoretical models\, empirical studies\, and real-world applications\, involving over 220 interviews and 40\,000 analyzed surveys. She has developed innovative frameworks to understand human acceptance\, trust\, and safety\, addressing critical issues such as misuse\, trust miscalibration\, and cyber-physical attacks. Dr. Nordhoff’s research is published in top-tier journals and has garnered significant attention from policymakers and industry leaders. Her work aims to inform the design\, deployment\, and regulation of these technologies to ensure they are safe\, equitable\, and socially beneficial. Dr. Nordhoff’s current research agenda includes pioneering efforts in interdisciplinary theory development\, safety assessment\, and understanding cognitive measurements. Her overarching goal is to bridge the gap between technological advancements and societal well-being\, creating a future where transportation benefits all members of society.

SUMMARY:Applied Microeconomics and Trade Seminar Series presents: Shanjun Li
DESCRIPTION:Applied Microeconomics and Trade Seminar\nDate: Thursday\, October 30th\, 2025\nTime: 1:40-3:00 p.m.\nLocation: E2-499\n\n \n\nSpeaker: Shanjun Li\nPersonal Webpage \nTitle: Steven and Roberta Denning Professor of Global Sustainability \nAffiliation: Stanford University \nHost: Peter Christensen \n \nSeminar title: Range Anxiety\n \nABSTRACT:   Range anxiety\, the fear of depleting battery before reaching a charging station\, is often cited as a major barrier to electric vehicle (EV) adoption\, yet there has been limited formal economic analysis to quantify its importance and understand the policy implications. We develop a continuous-time dynamic model of EV usage and charging decisions to quantify range anxiety as the utility loss from feasible yet unrealized trips due to perceived range constraints. Using high-frequency data of 188\,000 EV trips and 30\,000 charging events among 8\,000 EVs in Shanghai\, we recover model parameters governing consumer driving and charging decisions. The estimates imply that\, across EV models with varying driving ranges\, average range anxiety was about $1\,900 in 2021 but declined to $1\,200 in 2024\, driven by improvements in charging infrastructure and\, especially\, in creases in driving range. Policy simulations underscore the importance of coordinating investments in battery capacity and charging infrastructure to address range anxiety: relative to socially optimal levels\, Shanghai’s EV market has under-invested in driving range while over-investing in charging infrastructure.

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.

SUMMARY:When Human-Centered AI Encountered Digital Humanities: A Dialogue between Magy Seif El-Nasr and Minghui Hu
DESCRIPTION:What happens when the ethical and interpretive frameworks of the humanities meet the algorithmic and interactive architectures of artificial intelligence? This dialogue brings together two leading voices from distinct yet converging fields: Magy Seif El-Nasr\, a pioneer in human-centered AI\, game analytics\, and interactive narrative design\, and Minghui Hu\, a historian and digital humanist\, explores the cultural\, religious\, and intellectual history of China through computational and interpretive lenses. \nTogether\, they will explore shared concerns—from narrative design and agency to ethical modeling and epistemological boundaries—charting new possibilities at the intersection of technology and the humanities. This conversation is not only a meeting of disciplines\, but a reimagining of the collaborative future of AI and humanistic inquiry. \nThis event is sponsored by the Leading the Change Collaboration Series at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:BME 280B Seminar: Preconfigured neuronal firing sequences in human brain organoids
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Tjitse (TJ) van der Molen\, Ph.D. (Postdoc\, Sharf Lab\, UC Santa Cruz and PhD Kosik Lab\, UC Santa Barbara) \nDescription: Neuronal firing sequences are thought to be the building blocks of information and broadcasting within the brain. Yet\, it remains unclear when these sequences emerge during neurodevelopment. Here we demonstrate that structured firing sequences appear in spontaneous activity of human and murine brain organoids\, both unguided and forebrain identity directed\, as well as ex vivo neonatal murine cortical slices. We observed temporally rigid and flexible firing patterns in human and murine brain organoids and early postnatal murine somatosensory cortex\, but not in dissociated primary cortical cultures. These results suggest that temporal sequences do not arise in an experience-dependent manner\, but are rather constrained by a preconfigured architecture established during neurodevelopment. By demonstrating the developmental recapitulation of neural firing patterns\, these findings highlight the potential of brain organoids as a model for neuronal circuit assembly. \nBio: Tjitse van der Molen studies spontaneous and evoked neural circuit activity in human and mouse stem cell derived brain organoids using dense multi electrode arrays. His main goal is to gain a better understanding of how healthy neural circuits process information and how possible malfunctions in neural circuit activity may result in disease\, in order to develop appropriate treatments. Tjitse recently completed his PhD in the Kosik lab at UC Santa Barbara and is now continuing his research as a postdoc in the Sharf lab at UC Santa Cruz. \nIn this talk\, Tjitse will present his latest manuscript that is currently in press with Nature Neuroscience\, focused on spontaneously occurring repeated sequential firing patterns that are present in the intrinsic activity of both brain organoids and neonatal mouse brain slices but not in 2D primary cultures. Similar sequential firing patterns have recently been shown to be important for information encoding and learning in the human cortex. The presence of these sequential firing patterns in the spontaneous activity of brain organoids that have never received external stimuli supports the notion that they develop in an experience-independent manner. \nHosted by: Professor Josh Stuart\, BME Department \nZoom Link: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/99970819390?pwd=8sl5pd5TTBA5f6nqyCzo5mFpaqcEJG.1 \nFull Schedule: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xD09vITwd_Pj9Ge6hHEuBFa5zBUYu2O-bjpSibt7VHE/edit?tab=t.0 \nRoom: PSB-240

SUMMARY:Queer Emergent: Scandalous Stories from Twilight of AIDS in Peru: Book Celebration and Conversation with Professor Justin Perez
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Huerta Center Faculty Awardee Professor Justin Perez (Latin America and Latino Studies Department) presents his new book\, Queer Emergent: Scandalous Stories from Twilight of AIDS in Peru. In Queer Emergent\, Justin Perez explores how advances in HIV prevention work alongside broader economic and political shifts in global health to shape queer subjectivities. Drawing on ethnographic research among gay and transgender communities in urban Amazonian Peru\, Perez describes how queer social worlds emerge through scandalous storytelling—a practice of exaggerating and embellishing stories about everyday life that transgresses social norms and hierarchies. Perez shows that through such storytelling\, gay and transgender communities contested the assumptions of global HIV prevention’s shift from the provision of costly antiretrovirals to the mitigation of social conditions like discrimination and stigma. He argues that the global ambition to “End AIDS” by 2030 is not just a technical project oriented at ending the epidemic\, but also a project of sexual subjectification and ongoing social transformation. By taking seriously the scandalous stories that gay and transgender Peruvians circulated as they responded to new forms of HIV prevention\, Perez reveals how they imagine possibilities of what could be as the effort to end AIDS continues to play out in the present. \nThere will be a short reception following the discussion. We look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Creative Interventions: "Asymptote" with Nora Khan
DESCRIPTION:Nora Khan explores our personal relationships with computational systems through moments spanning from childhood gaming experiences to contemporary AI. The central metaphor of the “asymptote”—a curve endlessly approaching but never reaching a line—describes both humanity’s pursuit of technological mastery\, and the incomputable aspects of experience that resist capture by algorithms and surveillance. Through encounters with drones\, machine learning systems\, and glitched game worlds\, this talk argues for maintaining space for the mystical\, ineffable\, and offscreen in an era of relentless quantification and prediction. The talk ultimately calls for preserving doubt\, acknowledging what cannot be computed\, and remembering the personal “why” that precedes professional identity in navigating our algorithmic present. \nThis event is presented as part of the Creative Interventions (CI) Series and is co-sponsored by the Arts Division’s Creative Technologies program and Porter College at UC Santa Cruz.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Free and open to UCSC affiliates.\n– This is an online event.\n– Registration is required here.\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n– Event dates to be announced throughout the 2025-26 academic year.\n– Learn more about the Creative Intervention Series here.\n—\nABOUT THE SERIES\nCreative Interventions addresses the interconnected work of artists\, designers\, activists\, and knowledge workers—and the intrinsic and transformative capacity of that work to cultivate a just society.

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.

SUMMARY:Emeriti Faculty Lecture\, Fall 2025
DESCRIPTION:Kicking the Prow: Reflections on a Life in Conversation with Past and Present People and Other Creatures\nIn this lecture\, Distinguished Research Professor Diane Gifford-Gonzalez reflects on fifty-five years of zooarchaeology work\, studying animal remains from archaeological sites to explore how past people and their kin interacted. While varying in geographical and theoretical foci\, a common thread runs through what she believes are her most influential contributions to archaeology. Starting with a true story\, Professor Gifford-Gonzalez will outline how these have “kicked the prow” of wider conversations in archaeology and share a few of her creative works. \nRegister to attend in-person or virtual\nDoors open at 6:30 p.m. for guests attending in-person \nLecture: 7 p.m. \nFollowed by a reception for in-person guests \nFree and open to the public \n  \nPresented by the UC Santa Cruz Emeriti Association
