4:00-5:30 PM
SJRC Common Room, Oakes 231
Join SJRC scholars in the SJRC Common Room for an open discussion of works-in-progress! This is a wonderful chance to engage with one another’s ideas, and support our own internal work. At this session, we will hear from Science & Justice Training Program Fellow, Sociology Ph.D. Candidate, Luz Cordoba, who will discuss her dissertation that explores giant bamboo forests and their harvesters in Colombia, South America.
Luz Cordoba is a sociology graduate student at UC Santa Cruz whose interdisciplinary ethnographic work engages subjects such as STS, the Latin American Ontological turn, postcolonial critiques of race and nature, terror and colonialism, as well as political ecology and multi species ethnographies.
Science & Justice Fellow Erica Zurawski (sociology) was interviewed by the Association for the Study of Food and Society.
Zurawski discusses her work in food justice and colonization, how her Juris Doctorate and yoga teaching informs her work and teaching, social media for academics, and the transdisciplinary programming at the UC Santa Cruz Science & Justice Research Center!
Film and Digital Media Alum and Science & Justice Fellow Elaine Gan, receives 2019 Distinguished Graduate Student Alumni Award
Of her experience at UC Santa Cruz’s cross-disciplinary approach, Gan says, “My studies were intense, particularly because they were so interdisciplinary”. “I studied alongside artists, filmmakers, theorists, anthropologists, historians, physicists, plant ecologists, marine biologists, and researchers from many disciplines.”
Gan teaches at New York University, Center for Experimental Humanities and Social Engagement (NYU Graduate School of Arts & Science), where she also leads the Multispecies Worldbuilding Lab. More on Gan’s work can be found at: http://elainegan.com/
