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:“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 \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). \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!” \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.  \nA reception will follow. Or it may precede\, or even take place during\, the event. But rest assured\, we will be celebrating in style. Please submit your nominations following instructions below\, and we expect to see you there. \nFaculty\, for nominations of yourself (or someone else):\nPlease send to Senate@ucsc.edu\, with subject line “So there we were”\n \nFor you: By April 17\nA Title\, and a brief (no more than 500 words!) description of your proposed talk. It must begin with “So there we were” or “So there I was.” You must also include a statement that you understand this must be fun and that you understand that erudite jargon\, literature review\, or tedious explication are completely unacceptable. Any supporting details that demonstrate your enthusiasm for your subject and its presentation are welcome. \nFor someone else: Immediately! (or sooner)\nSubmit the person’s name\, email\, and the story or topic that makes you think they really should be harangued by us to apply.  \nNB: There may well be prizes. But we have not gotten quite that far yet.
