SUMMARY:Beyond public and private: Collaborative governance in global education reform with Antoni Verger and René Espinoza Kissell
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to invite you to join us for a hybrid research talk on collaborative governance with international education scholar and sociologist Dr. Antoni Verger (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) in conversation with Dr. René Espinoza Kissell (UCSC) on Thursday\, April 2\, 2026 at 5pm. \nNeoliberal educational policies aimed at efficiency through competition have often resulted in greater inequality and fragmentation. Can empowering new stakeholders through collaborative networks challenge market logics? Professor of Sociology Antoni Verger will present evidence on international cases of collaborative governance\, where education leaders aim to convene stakeholders\, co-design supports\, and steer improvement collaboratively. Assistant Professor of Education René Espinoza Kissell will provide a local case study of school choice markets in Oakland\, California\, examining the racial politics of school closures and charter school regulation. This will be followed by a discussion on the opportunities and contradictions in global governance shifts\, as well as the tensions between public and private coordination in addressing enduring political challenges. \n Thursday\, April 2nd\, 2026\, 5-6:30PM \n: McHenry 3170 or via Zoom (Meeting ID: 980 6836 8045; Passcode: 330341) \nPlease complete this RSVP form if you plan to attend (food will be provided). \n  \nAbout the Speakers:\nAntoni Verger is Professor of Sociology at the UAB and research fellow at the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA). With a cross-disciplinary training in sociology and education studies\, his research examines the relationship between global governance institutions and education policy – i.e. how education policies are internationally disseminated and enacted in different institutional settings\, and what effects this has on education quality and equity. In recent years\, he has specialized in the study of public-private partnerships\, school autonomy and accountability policies in education. He is one of the lead editors of the World Yearbook of Education and the Journal of Education Policy\, and academic director of the Erasmus Plus awarded Master programme Education Policies for Global Development – GLOBED. \nRené Espinoza Kissell is an Assistant Professor of Educational Policy Studies at UC Santa Cruz. Her scholarship brings together policy\, politics\, and political economy to study issues of power and governance in education. Drawing on critical theories and qualitative methods\, her work centers on school choice and community engagement\, as well as the creation\, management\, and racialized surveillance of school district debt. She recently served as a research expert for the 2025 international evaluation of New Public Education Reform/La Nueva Educación Pública (NEP) in Chile. Her research has been published in Journal of Education Policy\, Educational Policy\, Urban Education\, and Educational Administration Quarterly.  \nWe hope you can join us in welcoming international education scholar Antoni Verger to the UCSC campus!

SUMMARY:"All the Pages Are My Days": Print and Visual Culture of the Grateful Dead in Context
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates the art and print material generated by the Grateful Dead and their fans in the context of the printing explosion of the 1960s and ‘70s. As the Dead came into popularity and an anti-establishment counterculture spread throughout the nation\, democratic print technologies were concomitantly adopted into widespread use. In the Bay Area and beyond\, activists\, experimental poets\, and psychedelic artists took advantage of spirit duplicators\, mimeographs\, and other accessible technologies to create and disseminate works of self-expression and political action. This exhibition focuses on the social life of printed materials\, placing the Dead’s print culture in cultural and political situ.  \nIn the 1960s\, a new generation of young people–products of the post-war baby boom who by then formed a sizable segment of the overall U.S. population–were bristling against convention and finding their voice. As the civil rights and worldwide independence movements achieved momentum and the “New Left” found ideological purchase\, activists identified new means of sharing vital information through the creation of alternative publications and an underground press. The mainstream–or “overground”–press took notice: \nThe information officers of the New American Left have rediscovered an ancient political ally: print power. All over the country\, radical and "movement" organizations have spawned their own print shops run by their own pressmen to churn out an increasing number of posters\, pamphlets\, handbills\, and flyers. Whether it's to mobilize a march on Washington\, explain the advantages of "Free Speech" for GIs\, or advertise courses at an alternative university\, the rebel presses are rolling. By the thousands\, their folded-and-stapled brochures\, decorated with crude graphics\, are being given away at hastily set up campus tables or sold in the standard subculture outlets (Associated Press 1970). \nRadical print shops popped up in the Bay Area and spread internationally\, circulating a wide network of print material engaged with politics\, art and literature\, and prodigious social change. As revolutionary ideas spread\, artists experimented with the expressive capacities of emergent print technologies\, collectively crafting an unconventional and acrobatically imaginative graphic identity. \nThe exploratory\, democratic\, and liberatory attitude expressed in the print culture of the period was reflected across genres of artmaking\, and was to be found\, acutely and enduringly\, in the music of and visual culture surrounding the Grateful Dead. This exhibition also features artifacts reflective of the band’s visual vernacular\, born from the psychedelic vocabulary of the ‘60s and ‘70s and transformed\, over time\, into a distinctive brand and cultural touchstone. The band was formed at a moment of optimism amid radical upheaval in the Bay Area\, and their visual language has transmitted the spirit of the period to new and nostalgic audiences across the decades that followed.
