SUMMARY:POSTPONED—Celebrating Agroecology: A book talk with Author Bruce H. Jennings and Mayor Fred Keeley
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed. \nJoin us for a conversation with Author Bruce H. Jennings and Santa Cruz Mayor Fred Keeley about Jennings’ new book\, Revolutionary Science: The Struggle for Agroecology in the Americas. \nRSVP \nAbout the book\nAs the climate crisis becomes more urgent and issues of social inequality intensify\, Revolutionary Science: The Struggle for Agroecology in the Americas shows how agroecology offers hope rooted in a deeper understanding of ecology\, society\, and collective struggle. In the 1940s\, a US-backed campaign spread industrial agriculture across the Americas\, dismantling traditional farming systems that had sustained campesino communities for generations. The result was ecological damage\, cultural loss\, and deepened inequality. Amid this devastation\, a group of Latin American scientists chose another path. Working alongside farmers\, Indigenous communities\, and social movements\, they helped shape a new vision — agroecology: a science grounded in ecology\, cultural respect\, and political commitment to those most marginalized. Revolutionary Science tells their story and asks a vital question: Can agroecology thrive as both a science and a movement strong enough to advance livelihood for millions of campesinos and many others across the Americas?

SUMMARY:“So\, There We Were...” – Celebrating the Untold Stories Behind the Discoveries
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate another year of profound discoveries\, uplifting unheard voices\, and opening up the world for the next generation of students\, the Academic Senate is planning a year-end celebratory event on Wednesday\, May 27\, 5-7:30 pm (week 9)\, at the Haybarn. But lest you think this is yet one more end-of-year academic event with mind-numbing presentations and hard-to-read powerpoint slides\, think again. This Scholarly Event is an excuse for us to do what we never get to do: come together to share the real stories behind our work and\, most of all\, HAVE FUN! In this spirit we are launching a celebratory event to feature the true but unknown\, the odd\, the awkward\, and just plain unbelievable stories behind our research: \n“So\, There We Were…”\nCelebrating the Untold Stories Behind the Discoveries \n \nThese might be the adventures\, misadventures\, revelations\, miscues\, or simply the “you would never believe it all worked out” moments that we have all experienced but rarely talk about (at least not in public). These are the stories that our friends\, neighbors\, and students want to hear\, but never would make it into scholarly publications or presentations. These are the stories we swap with our colleagues over drinks. While this event is intended primarily for faculty\, the campus community and community members will be welcome to attend (in other words\, feel free to bring your kids\, your partner\, your neighbors). \n \nWe are therefore soliciting applications (or nominations if you know someone—including yourself—who really needs to share that story) to regale your colleagues with details about “that time that…(fill in the blank)\,” while showing how those hidden moments shaped what finally came out of that research. This is meant to be a lighthearted and fun event\, so while having the audience learn something about what you do and why it is SO COOL is very good\, our focus will remain on humor\, fun\, and engaging tales. As the Ig Nobel Awards put it: “First make them laugh…then make them think!” \n \nPresenters will give a ~10 min TED style talk. Talks must begin with the phrase “So\, there we were” (or “So\, there I was” ) and they should feature the adventurous\, the bizarre\, and ideally the humorous in your research. Absolutely no tedious PowerPoints\, jargon\, or literature background review will be allowed.  \n \nA reception will follow. Or it may precede\, or even take place during\, the event. But rest assured\, we will be celebrating in style. \n \nNB: There may well be prizes. But we have not gotten quite that far yet.

SUMMARY:Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism Book Talk with Thea Riofrancos
DESCRIPTION:Please join The Community Studies Department together with The Center for Critical Urban and Environmental Studies (CUES)\, in the (The Barn)\, for talk by Thea Riofrancos about her recent book Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism.\n\nExtraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism Book Talk with Thea Riofrancos \n\nDate: May 21st @ 5pm\nLocation: Cowell Ranch Hay Barn\nLight refreshments\nGet Your Copy\n\nAbout Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism\nWill green capitalism save us from the climate crisis? “Clean” technologies and renewable energy are certainly growing sites of capitalist investment\, with government policies playing a key role in making these sectors profitable. But the supply chains that produce the technologies pose vexing dilemmas for the energy transition. These dilemmas are most dramatic at the extractive frontiers of green capitalism: where the natural resources needed to manufacture electric vehicles and build windmills are extracted. In this talk\, we will unpack these challenges through the lens of lithium\, a so-called “critical mineral” essential for its role in decarbonizing one of the most polluting sectors: transportation. With forecasters predicting an enormous surge in lithium demand\, exceeding existing supplies\, Global North governments and downstream firms scramble to “secure” lithium\, resulting in a new state-corporate alliance and the return of vertical integration. Meanwhile\, Global South governments are attempting to leverage critical mineral deposits into sustainable and sovereign economic development. And\, across the world\, environmental and Indigenous movements contest the rapid expansion of extraction\, defending ecosystems\, livelihoods\, and waterways already under pressure from global warming from a new boom in mining. It is in the play of these forces\, unfolding amidst geopolitical rivalry and economic turbulence\, that the energy transition will be forged. To conclude\, we will explore the possibility of a less mining-intensive pathway to zero carbon transportation. \nAbout the Author\nThea Riofrancos is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Providence College\, a Strategic Co-Director of the Climate and Community Institute\, and a fellow at the Transnational Institute. Her research focuses on resource extraction\, renewable energy\, climate change\, the global lithium sector\, green technologies\, social movements\, and the Latin American left. She is the author of Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism (W.W. Norton\, 2025) and Resource Radicals: From Petro-Nationalism to Post-Extractivism in Ecuador (Duke University Press\, 2020)\, and the coauthor of A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal (Verso Books\, 2019). Her publications have appeared in scholarly journals such as Global Environmental Politics\, World Politics\, and Perspectives on Politics\, as well as in media outlets including The New York Times\, Financial Times\, Foreign Policy\, n+1\, Dissent\, and more.

SUMMARY:Living Roots: The Promise of Perennial Foods Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with co-editors Liz Carlisle and Aubrey Streit Krug and contributor Tim Crews about their new book Living Roots: The Promise of Perennial Foods. Following the conversation\, we’ll enjoy a tasting of perennial treats\, and copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing. \nLiving Roots makes the case for putting perennial foods at the center of our farms and our plates\, to add flavor and nutrients to our diets while reducing emissions and making our food system more resilient to climate change and economic uncertainty. With contributions from James Beard Award-winning chefs\, Macarthur genius grant-winning scientists\, and a host of farmers who are leading the way on perennializing agriculture\, the book takes readers on a behind-the-scenes tour of the largest food forest in the United States\, the test plots developing the first commercial perennial grains\, and the vast grasslands where Indigenous communities are returning bison to their prairie homelands. In the process\, each contributor shares their unique story of learning with these long-lived plants about how to root deeper in the face of existential challenges\, speaking directly to readers charting their own path on a rapidly changing planet. \nRSVP

SUMMARY:Policing Belonging: The Politics of Immigration Enforcement
DESCRIPTION:The Legal Studies Program presents: Policing Belonging: The Politics of Immigration Enforcement. This year\, we will be hosting Professor Amada Armenta\, UCLA Director of Latino Policy and Politics Institute. In this talk\, Amada Armenta traces the policy and practice of immigration enforcement in the United States. Drawing on years of qualitative research with police officers\, bureaucrats\, and undocumented immigrants\, she examines how the politics of enforcement are enacted in everyday life—through discretionary decisions\, local collaborations\, and moral reasoning. Armenta shows how immigration enforcement generates moral tensions for those who carry it out and existential dilemmas for those forced to live within its reach\, revealing a system that exposes the uneven burdens of power and belonging. \n  \n2026 Distinguished Lecture (1) \n

SUMMARY:Suzanne Simard – When the Forest Breathes
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes bestselling author Suzanne Simard (Finding the Mother Tree)\, a scientist who pioneered the concept of sophisticated communication between trees. Simard will share her highly anticipated new book When the Forest Breathes\, in which she offers a powerful vision for saving our forests based on nature’s deep-rooted cycles of renewal. \n“A masterclass on the inner workings of forests. . . . This is science as an act of love for the world.” —Zoë Schlanger\, author of The Light Eaters \n \nRaised in a family of loggers committed to sensible forest stewardship\, trailblazing ecologist Suzanne Simard has watched as timber companies leave forests at higher risk for wildfires\, water crises\, and plant and animal extinction. But her research has the potential to chart a new course. The forest\, she reveals\, is a symphony of finely honed cycles of regeneration—from mushrooms breaking down logs to dying elder trees passing their genetic knowledge to younger ones—that hold the key to protecting our forests. Working closely with local Indigenous communities\, whose models of responsible forestry have been largely dismissed\, Simard examines how human interventions—particularly destruction of the overstory’s mother trees—endanger new growth and longevity. If we can honor the tools that trees have honed for sharing intergenerational wisdom\, she argues\, we can protect these sacred places for many years to come. \nDr. Suzanne Simard is the New York Times bestselling author of Finding the Mother Tree. She is a Professor of Forest Ecology at the University of British Columbia\, where she leads The Mother Tree Project and co-directs the Belowground Ecosystem Group. Dr. Simard has earned a global reputation for pioneering research on tree connectivity and communication and the productivity\, health\, and biodiversity of forests. Her work has been published widely\, with over 170 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals\, including Nature\, Ecology\, and Global Biology\, and she has co-authored the book Climate Change and Variability. Her research has been communicated broadly through three TED Talks\, TED Experiences\, as well as articles and interviews in The New Yorker\, National Geographic\, NPR\, CNN\, and many more. She lives with her family in the mountains around Nelson\, British Columbia. \nMore information at: Bookshop Santa Cruz – Suzanne Simard \nThis event is cosponsored by the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum & Botanic Garden and The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz

SUMMARY:Colm Toibin – The News From Dublin
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz and The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz welcome acclaimed author Colm Tóibín (Long Island\, Brooklyn) for a discussion about The News from Dublin\, a brilliant collection of nine short stories\, many never-before-published\, set across Ireland\, Spain\, and America—about the complexities of family\, longing\, loss\, and love. \n \nCelebrated as “his generation’s most gifted writer of love’s complicated\, contradictory power” ( Los Angeles Times)\, Colm Tóibín is a master of short fiction as well as the novel\, able to summon an extraordinary intensity of emotion in a brief tale. The eleven stories transport readers across continents and eras. \nIn The Journey to Galway\, a mother who has learned of the death of her son\, a fighter pilot in World War I\, travels to Galway to inform his wife and their three now fatherless children. “Sleep\,” originally published in The New Yorker\, explores the rift between two lovers as one of them cannot reckon with his grief and fear after the death of his brother. Death\, again\, is a central character in the title story\, “The News from Dublin\,” as Maurice Webster travels to Dublin to try to save his younger brother who is dying of tuberculosis. Maurice must petition the health minister for access to a new experimental drug\, and this is the only hope. \nColm Tóibín is the author of eleven novels\, including Long Island\, an Oprah’s Book Club Pick; The Magician\, winner of the Rathbones Folio Prize; The Master\, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; Brooklyn\, winner of the Costa Book Award; and Nora Webster\, winner of the Hawthornden Prize\, as well as three story collections and several books of criticism. He is the Irene and Sidney B. Silverman Professor of the Humanities at Columbia University and was named the 2022–2024 Laureate for Irish Fiction by the Arts Council of Ireland. In 2021\, he was awarded the David Cohen Prize for Literature. \nMore information at: Bookshop Santa Cruz – Colm Tóibín \n\nCo-sponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:The Sheikh's Jews: Muslim-Jewish Relations in Interwar Algeria
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Jewish Studies presents\, The Helen Diller Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies. \nUntil the middle of the twentieth century\, Algeria hosted an array of Jewish communities—some deeply-rooted\, others more recently settled—that played important roles in North African society. French colonial rule\, however\, brought changes that profoundly reshaped Jews’ relationship to their Muslim neighbors. By the years leading up to the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962)\, these changes had created new lines of solidarity—and new tensions—that cast doubt on Jews’ place in Algeria’s future. In this lecture\, Professor Joshua Schreier will explore how the most prominent figure among Algerian Ulema\, ͑Abd al-Ḥamīd Ben Bādīs (1889–1940)\, the undisputed leader of reformist Islam in interwar Algeria and a powerful influence on Algeria’s nascent nationalist movement\, understood Jews\, their relationship to Muslims\, and the escalating conflict in Palestine. \n \nJoshua Schreier’s research and teaching navigate the intersection of Jewish\, Middle Eastern\, North African\, and French colonial history. His publications explore the ways colonialism in Algeria not only transformed the relationship between Jews and Muslims but also redefined what these identifiers meant. He is the author of Arabs of the Jewish Faith: The Civilizing Mission in Colonial Algeria (Rutgers\, 2010)\, and The Merchants of Oran: A Jewish Port at the Dawn of Empire (Stanford\, 2017)\, which was a National Jewish Book Award Finalist. \n\nThis event is a part of The Helen Diller Distinguished Lecture in Jewish Studies.
