A visual and textual display of the struggle to defend the Second Spanish Republic, the exhibition documents the role of both the Republicans, who were defending the democratically elected government, and the Nationalists, the right-wing rebel forces led by General Francisco Franco. The exhibition also addresses how the war, which unfolded from 1936 to 1939, affected the lives of the people of Spain and American volunteers fighting on the front lines or assisting in the war effort, as well as how the conflict precipitated an intense creative response from within and outside Spain.<br /> <br /> A companion exhibit, INCITE THE SPIRIT: POSTER ART OF THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR will be on exhibit from September 6 - December 8, 2016 at the Townsend Center for the Humanities, 220 Stephens Hall. <a href="http://townsendcenter.berkeley.edu/events/incite-spirit">Townsend Center for the Humanities</a><br /> <br /> Please visit <a href="http://spanishcivilwar80.berkeley.edu/">spanishcivilwar80.berkeley.edu</a> to learn more about the UC Berkeley events commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Spanish Civil War. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=101809&date=2017-05-19 Literatura de Cordel in Moffitt Library, Feb 16-Jun 30, 2017 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=107262&date=2017-05-19 This exhibition highlights a collection of Brazilian chapbooks or Literatura<br /> de Cordel in the Moffitt Library. These chapbooks are still produced for<br /> mass consumption in the Northeastern Brazil. These are called literature de<br /> cordel as they are hung from a cord in the book-stands so that the consumers<br /> can browse them and select them according to their desires. There are<br /> several themes that are portrayed in these chap-books. A story is narrated<br /> within the cordel in a poetic form and themes can vary from religious,<br /> political, social and romantic. The curatorial team that consists of Dr.<br /> Liladhar Pendse, Aisha Hamilton and Kevin Cloud invites to visit the<br /> physical exhibit in the Moffitt Library through June 30, 2017. However for<br /> those who cannot come to the campus, we have prepared an online counterpart<br /> of this physical exhibition that can be viewed here:<br /> http://exhibits.lib.berkeley.edu/literatura-de-cordel http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=107262&date=2017-05-19 Teachers at the Center: The Story of the National Writing Project, Apr 17-Sep 1, 2017 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=108657&date=2017-05-19 The National Writing Project is a professional development<br /> network for teachers of writing at all levels, from early<br /> childhood to university.

To celebrate the spirit of the space and help support this student intellectual community, the Library has launched an informal student lunch series that features undergraduate students from different disciplines each month. Students discuss the initial process of starting a research project, introducing methodological approaches and resources while inviting other students to share their insight as well. <br /> <br /> This months featured students are:<br /> <br /> Shelby Mack, American Studies<br /> #BlackGirlsMatterToo: Understanding and Disrupting the School to Prison Pipeline Among Black Girls<br /> Black girls are disproportionately impacted by school discipline policies and practices that render them vulnerable to abuse, exploitation and dehumanization. Shelby Mack's research will employ in-depth interviewing, purposive sampling and non-participant observation of Black girls who are a part of the African American Girls and Young Women Achievement Program (AAGYWA), and Black girls who are not a part of the program at West Oakland Middle School.<br /> <br /> Yena Lee, Media Studies<br /> Hashtag Feminist Movement within K-pop Fandom<br /> The past two years have been a time of painful awakening for Korea as the country witnessed a deeply polemic gender war previously unprecedented in Korean society. Yena Lee will explore how the recent feminism revival in Korea has fostered a discourse on identity politics within K-pop fandom by examining the feminist narrative of the 21st century Korea, history and characteristics of K-pop fandom and past fan activisms, and Twitter as an effective counter public for alternative voices within fandom.<br /> <br /> The Library attempts to offer programs in accessible, barrier-free settings.

How do the family members respond to this situation? In this paper, this question is addressed by examining the case of relatives of the disappeared under the dictatorship of General Pinochet, in Chile (1973-1990). These relatives created an association in which they took action to find their disappeared and challenge the military junta. This paper focuses on how, within the association, they used music and dance as a vehicle of resistance against the regime, and it examines the significance that membership in the music group held for them. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=109995&date=2017-10-02 Finding Health Statistics and Data, Oct 3 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=110348&date=2017-10-03 Learn about some of the issues surrounding the collection of health statistics, as well as some authoritative sources of health statistics and data.

She is simply “Mama” to many in her community. Her personal story and activism for transgender civil rights intersects LGBT struggles for justice and equality from the 1960s to today. At the center of her activism is her fierce advocacy for her girls, trans women of color who have survived police brutality and incarceration in men’s jails and prisons. <br /> <br /> MAJOR! is more than just a biographical documentary: It’s an investigation into critical issues of how the Prison Industrial Complex represents a wide-spread and systematic civil rights violation, as well as a historical portrait of diverse LGBT communities, told with love and humor, and personalized through the lens of a vibrant and charismatic woman. Through first-person narration and innovative visual story telling, MAJOR! seeks to create a living, breathing history of a community's struggle and resilience, as seen and experienced by those who lived it.<br /> <br /> At the heart of MAJOR! is a social justice framework that puts the subjects at the center of their story. MAJOR! was produced in collaboration with Miss Major, the film’s participants, and a transPOC Community Advisory Board to ensure that these stories, which are so often marginalized, exoticized, or played for tragic drama, retain the agency and humanity of those who tell them. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=111679&date=2017-10-04 Chinese Overseas, Oct 5 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=105267&date=2017-10-05 This symposium celebrates the intellectual contributions of UC Berkeley’s research on Chinese communities overseas, including its archival collections from around the world.

On one side, there are increased demands to censor hateful, disrespectful, and bullying expression and to ensure an inclusive and nondiscriminatory learning environment. On the other side are traditional free speech advocates who charge that recent demands for censorship coddle students and threaten free inquiry.<br /> <br /> <strong><a href="http://constitutionday.universityofcalifornia.edu/">UC recognizes Constitution Day.</a></strong><br /> <br /> In honor of Constitution Day, the Free Speech Movement Educational Programs Committee welcomes the Dean of Berkeley Law, Erwin Chemerinsky. In his new book, Free Speech on Campus, written with Howard Gillman, they argue that campuses must provide supportive learning environments for an increasingly diverse student body but at the same time must never restrict the expression of ideas. <br /> <br /> Erwin Chemerinsky is the new dean of UC Berkeley Law School. Previously, he was the founding dean, distinguished professor of law, and Raymond Pryke Professor of First Amendment Law at University of California, Irvine School of Law. His co-author, Howard Gillman, is chancellor and professor of law, political science, and history, University of California, Irvine.<br /> <br /> Pleases join us for the University and the FSM Cafe’s annual Constitution Day event as we discuss Free Speech on Campus.<br /> <br /> This event is free, open to the public, and all are invited to participate. Sponsored by the University Library’s Free Speech Movement (FSM) Café Programs Committee.

(please bring UCB ID card). For those outside UC Berkeley: suggested $5 donation.<br /> <br /> Our first event is October 10, 2017 from 7 to 8 pm.<br /> <br /> Matthew Gordon Lasner, Associate Professor of Urban Studies and Planning at Hunter College, CUNY.<br /> <br /> “Eichler Homes and the Reinvention of Affordable Housings in the Bay Area.”<br /> <br /> Long before Oscar Newman's Defensible Space and the demolition of Pruitt-Igoe, builders of low-cost housing in the Bay Area embraced alternatives to the tower-in-the-park. One of the leading figures in this effort, beginning in the 1950s, was Eichler Homes. This talk explores Eichler's nearly two dozen experiments in multifamily housing and suggests how the firm's efforts complicate our understandings of how innovation in housing happens.<br /> <br /> The Library attempts to offer programs in accessible, barrier-free settings.

This presentation explores the role of the early 1960s Toho musical comedy in translating utopia for an aspirational "white collar" urban culture in Japan. By the 1960s, cinema was no longer the king of mass entertainment: it was part of a leisure industry dominated by television that also included popular music and live performance consumed in "amusement zones." Yuriko Furuhata has emphasized the live "actuality" of Japanese television as informing the remediating practices of the Japanese New Wave but it was another aspect of televisuality that was most significant to the Toho musical films: the close relation between product placement, advertising, and "media mix" celebrity on the television variety show. The growth of the variety show, and the talent agencies that produced them, only accelerated the tendency toward paratext and intertextuality in the high volume, low budget film production system, characterized by the ubiquity and propinquity of familiar series and stars. Taking the musical comedy <i>You Can Succeed, Too</i> (Kimi mo shusse ga dekiru, 1964) as its main example, this presentation argues that the films featuring televisual celebrity, often dismissed as kitsch, exhibit an ironic "double coding" that interrogates contradictions that it also magically resolves. Toho took the indigeneity (<i>dochaku</i>) turn of the early 1960s in a different direction than the Toei yakuza genre or Imamura's art films. Drawing on concepts such as "vernacular modernism" and "transcultural mimesis," the presentation argues that the ambivalent copying and critique of American things in <i>You Can Succeed, Too</i> was a form of immanent and "irresponsible" media theory that highlighted some of the questions of modern Japanese history that also occupied the Japanese new wave. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=112254&date=2017-10-11 ¡Viva La Fiesta! Mexican Traditions of Celebration, Oct 13, 2017-Feb 28, 2018 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=112670&date=2017-10-13 ¡Viva la Fiesta! explores the cycle of traditional religious and<br /> patriotic celebrations that have for centuries marked the<br /> Mexican calendar. The exhibition draws on unique historical<br /> representations of the fiestas and examines their relationship<br /> to communal identities, national politics, religious practices,<br /> and indigenous customs. These original materials, which are<br /> preserved in the Bancroft Latin Americana Collection and date from the sixteenth century to the present, include<br /> early baptismal records in Spanish and Nahuatl, images of<br /> Christmas pastorelas and posadas, sermons honoring local<br /> patron saints, and accounts of Marian devotions, such as the<br /> annual festival of Our Lady of Guadalupe. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=112670&date=2017-10-13 UAV Flight Safety Training, Oct 14 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=112096&date=2017-10-14 Saturday, Oct. 14<br /> 2-3pm<br /> Room 150D on the 1st floor of Moffitt<br /> <br /> Come get your flight ceritification from experienced pilots in the organization at our flight safety training.

Early California politicians and entrepreneurs envisioned agriculture as a solution to the food needs of the expanding industrial nation. The state’s climate, geography, vast expanses of land, water, and immigrant workforce when coupled with university research and governmental assistance provided a model for agribusiness. In a short time, the San Francisco Bay Area became a hub for guaranteeing Americans access to a consistent quantity of quality foods. To this end, California agribusiness played a major role in national food policies and subsequently produced a bifurcated California Cuisine that sustained both Slow and Fast Food proponents. Problems arose as mid-twentieth century social activists battled the unresponsiveness of government agencies to corporate greed, food safety, and environmental sustainability. By utilizing multidisciplinary literature and oral histories the book illuminates a more balanced look at how a California Cuisine embraced Slow Food Made Fast. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=109997&date=2017-10-16 New Google Sites workshop, Oct 16 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=110622&date=2017-10-16 In this workshop we'll explore how easy it is to organize, collaborate, and share all of your online content in the New Google Sites.

This software-assisted workflow incorporates both accountability and flexibility needed for experiments and analyses that don’t always finish in the allotted time. <br /> <br /> Pierce Gordon<br /> PhD student in the Energy & Resources Group<br /> Finding what works for you is a difficult task. Some tools work perfectly, and some tools you have to make yourself. A favorite book of mine - Bit Literacy - opened up the possibilities of deep organizational capacity. From there, I used - and developed - my own personal network of data to ensure I stay on top of as much as I can. I can’t wait to share my tactics - and learn about yours.<br /> <br /> Virginia Markham<br /> PhD student in Plant and Microbial Biology <br /> Study after study has indicated that multi-tasking can severely reduce productivity. Meanwhile the technique of ‘batching’—performing related tasks all at once—is all the rage. In transitioning my productivity strategy from ‘winging it’ to batching, I’ve found batching has dramatically improved both my productivity and peace of mind.<br /> <br /> Victor Villalobos<br /> Public Health Doctoral student in Behavioral Design <br /> “Circadian Clocks, Habits and Productivity” - Human bodies are biological machines.

The Bay Area played a significant role in reviving it—as much as New York and London. From the distillers who pioneered craft spirits and Alice Waters’ revolutionary take on simple, fresh food at Chez Panisse to the bartenders who cared enough to grow a dedicated cocktail community, this is the story of how the Bay Area shaped the art of elevated drinking in America. Through oral history interviews and recipes, author Shanna Farrell chronicles the narrative history of the modern cocktail renaissance. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=109998&date=2017-11-06 Python FUN!damentals, Nov 6 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=112208&date=2017-11-06 This four-part, interactive workshop series is your complete introduction to programming Python for people with little or no previous programming experience.

In 2010, Ms. Petri became the youngest person to have a column in the<br /> Post. As a columnist, Ms. Petri writes satirical and lighthearted pieces on contemporary news, politics, and points<br /> of view. In her column, ComPost, she aims to make the world seem a little less terrifying by offering her<br /> wisdom and wit for an event she calls: “Rational Optimism In A Time When Everything Seems To Be On<br /> Fire.”. This event will be in traditional Berkeley Forum structure with a staff member moderating a forum with Ms.<br /> Petri after allowing Ms. Petri to give an introductory speech. The Berkeley Forum moderator will ask Ms.<br /> Petri prepared, thought-provoking questions. More importantly, in The Berkeley Forum’s tradition of<br /> intellectually engaging the community, audience members will be allowed to ask questions to Ms. Petri after<br /> the moderated portion. After the event, audience members will have the chance to speak with her one-on-one.<br /> With this structure, The Berkeley Forum will truly allow the community audience members to have a<br /> critical, engaged, and in-depth discussion about a topic that is very resonant and very timely in Berkeley and<br /> across college campuses. <br /> <br /> The Library attempts to offer programs in accessible, barrier-free settings.

Julia Lewandoski will discuss those who did receive grants in the 1840s. After California became a U.S. state in 1850, these indigenous proprietors had to confirm title to their lands with the U.S. Board of Land Commissioners. Drawing primarily on The Bancroft Library's California land case files, Ms. Lewandoski traces the stories of indigenous individuals, families, and communities who used two settler legal systems to gain and keep land during this chaotic period. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=111617&date=2017-11-16 NaNoWriMo 2017 at UC Berkeley, Nov 19 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=112395&date=2017-11-19 Have you ever thought about writing a novel, but just didn’t think you had the time?

Do you want to adopt or create innovative pedagogical materials? Explore possible open textbook solutions by attending a two hour workshop and writing a short textbook review. The Library will provide you with a $200 stipend for your efforts! Space is limited, so please submit a very brief application form: http://bit.ly/1208OTNWorkshop <br /> <br /> <br /> Did You Know...<br /> The high cost of some course materials can impede students’ academic success. UC Berkeley asks students to budget around $1200 for textbooks and supplies, and the cost of textbooks is rising at a rate of 4 times inflation. The statistics are grim:<br /> -- Seven out of 10 students don’t purchase a required textbook during their academic career because of cost.<br /> -- 60% of students have delayed purchasing textbooks until they’ve received their financial aid.<br /> <br /> Open Textbooks<br /> Open textbooks can help alleviate the burden of textbook costs for students and enable faculty to use or create content that can be customized for their course. Open textbooks are full, real textbooks, used by many faculty across the country, and licensed to be freely used, edited, and distributed. <br /> <br /> What You Can Do<br /> Attend the Open Textbook Workshop — a two-hour session led by the Open Textbook Network, at which you can discover and learn how to create open textbooks in your field. After the workshop, you’ll be asked to write a short review of an open textbook from the Open Textbook Library. Your review will benefit other faculty considering open textbooks. You’ll receive a $200 stipend for your participation and written review.<br /> <br /> Take 5 minutes to apply by Dec. 1, 2017 using the following form: http://bit.ly/1208OTNWorkshop. Space is limited<br /> <br /> If you have questions about this workshop or open textbooks, please contact Rachael Samberg, the Scholarly Communication Officer at schol-comm@berkeley.edu.

With parents who are busy working long hours in the fields, third grader Jose Ansaldo often turns to his teacher, Oscar Ramos, for guidance. But Jose is undocumented; he was born in Mexico. Like many other migrant children, he is beginning to understand the situation — and the opportunities that may be lost to him through no fault of his own.<br /> East of Salinas follows Jose and Oscar over three years: the boy is full of energy, smarts, and potential, while his teacher is determined to give back to a new generation of migrant children.<br /> <br /> Many of the students that enter Oscar's third grade class at Sherwood Elementary School in Salinas have never been to the beach, even though it’s only twenty miles away. Their parents work from sunup to sundown. They live in cramped apartments in neighborhoods plagued by gang violence. The kids take on the day- to-day stresses of their parents: making ends meet, dealing with acute health issues, fearing deportation. In the face of these challenges, Oscar gives his student’s access to a world that often seems beyond their reach.<br /> <br /> Jose is one of Oscar’s most gifted students. Despite having moved between seven different schools in three years he still excels in math. But Oscar can only do so much. For Jose, a student with such promise, East of Salinas demonstrates the cruelty of circumstance — a cruelty that touches on the futures of millions of undocumented kids in America. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115042&date=2018-02-07 On the Digital Archive and Its Uses for Japanese Humanities, Feb 13 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115476&date=2018-02-13 This workshop will examine the possibilities for new digital technologies and platforms to allow for collaboration within the humanities.

A flavor of XML, TEI has been used in many humanities and social sciences disciplines, and it has a dedicated vocabulary for describing literary texts. TEI may be used to create digital editions, prepare texts for research, and preserve texts in a digital format. In this workshop, we'll provide an overview of TEI, try some hands-on encoding, and prepare you for the next steps in learning TEI. Please bring a laptop if possible. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=110684&date=2018-02-13 Bancroft Library Roundtable: Solving Mysteries at The Bancroft Library: The Fifth (Floor) Dimension, Feb 15 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115487&date=2018-02-15 Ever wonder how Bancroft's wonderful collections are made ready for the public? Go behind the scenes with Bancroft manuscripts cataloger Kenna Fisher as she takes you on a journey through special collections processing. Fisher will discuss how the dedicated technical professionals on the fifth floor at Bancroft work with collections to facilitate further discovery by researchers, and how she herself solved mysteries contained in two new acquisitions: a Gold Rush-era journal with a story that spans the American continents, and a World War I collection that includes the amazing story of Raymond Babcock, a country doctor from Willits who earned a Silver Star for his service in the Battle of the Argonne. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115487&date=2018-02-15 Publish Digital Books and Open Educational Resources with Pressbooks, Feb 20 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=110685&date=2018-02-20 If you're looking to self-publish work of any length and want an easy-to-use tool that offers a high degree of customization, allows flexibility with publishing formats (EPUB, MOBI, PDF), and provides web-hosting options, Pressbooks may be great for you. Pressbooks is often the tool of choice for academics creating digital books, open textbooks, and open educational resources, since you can license your materials for reuse however you desire. Learn why and how to use Pressbooks for publishing your original books or course materials.

For the past several years — but especially since the 2016 US presidential election — Russian hackers, the mainstream media, social media platforms, conspiracy theorists, Twitter bots, U.S. intelligence agencies, and unscrupulous businesses have all been blamed for polluting our information sources with fake news and deceptive information. Anyone can publish anything — sometimes influencing elections, entrapping minors, setting off international crises — and often making money on the side (through advertising). Meanwhile our computers and phones are entered by hackers who may charge ransom to unlock our data or steal our identities to compromise our financial accounts. Nation states are building cyberwar capabilities to disrupt electrical and transportation networks, disrupt industrial production, disable critical weapons systems. Life in the information age seems to be scarier by the day. What happened to our utopian dreams about free information, anywhere, anytime?<br /> <br /> Jeffrey K.

While the reasons for the gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of participation by women and underrepresented groups. This adds up to an alarming absence in an important repository of shared knowledge.<br /> <br /> Let’s change that. Join us in 405 Moffitt Library on Tuesday, March 6 between 12noon-5:00pm for an all day communal updating of Wikipedia entries. We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, reference materials, and refreshments. Drop in any time; trainings take place at 12:30 & 2:30.<br /> <br /> Art+Feminism is a national campaign improving coverage of cis and transgender women, feminism and the arts on Wikipedia, and at UC Berkeley we will team up with the American Cultures program's Race+Justice edit-a-thon. So, bring your laptop, power cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation! For the editing-averse, we urge you to stop by to show your support. People of all races and gender identities are invited to participate. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=110077&date=2018-03-06 Joseph Slusky - Steel Dreams, Mar 6 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115480&date=2018-03-06 Joseph Slusky, an artist, sculptor and faculty member in the College of Environmental Design for over thirty years will discuss his sculpture and two-dimensional work spanning a period of over fifty years.

Its members tell the story of the Anthropocene and argue whether it's a tragedy, a comedy, or something more surreal. With archival footage, award-winning stills and interviews, [the film] proposes a common secular narrative for mankind but leaves viewers to decide how we should write the ending. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115857&date=2018-03-07 Mapping Indigenous California History, Mar 9 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115980&date=2018-03-09 This event explores just one chapter in California's complex and on-going indigenous history, by featuring maps of Native American land claims made in the 1850s. After the 1830s secularization of the Spanish Franciscan missions where many Native Californians were forced to live and labor, some Native peoples still living at former missions managed to obtain titles to land from Mexican authorities. After the U.S. conquest of California in 1848, these proprietors had to claim their land again, this time to U.S. officials. Alongside broader maps that show California's rich indigenous past and present, these land claim maps tell a story of indigenous resilience in the aftermath of the mission system and in the face of U.S. conquest. <br /> <br /> Maps and More is a series of monthly show-and-tell pop-up exhibits featuring maps (and more!) from the Earth Sciences & Map Library. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115980&date=2018-03-09 Life and Resistance in the Mapuche Territory, Chile., Mar 9 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=116153&date=2018-03-09 This is an opening event for the library exhibition that is dedicated to the topic of Mapuche in Chile.

These rulings directly contravened Louisiana state legislation, but McHenry reasoned that they were in keeping with higher sources of law: constitutional, federal, and international. He migrated to California, and his personal and legal papers are now preserved in The Bancroft Library. Havrylyshyn's presentation will explore McHenry's political identification and the ways that anti-slavery litigation influenced California before the start of the Civil War. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115488&date=2018-03-15 Art in a State of Siege: Bosch in Retrospect, Mar 15 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=114679&date=2018-03-15 Joseph Leo Koerner, Thomas Professor of History of Art and Architecture and Senior Fellow, Society of Fellows at Harvard University, is this year’s Avenali Chair in the Humanities.<br /> <br /> In his lecture, Koerner examines Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Delights — a work notorious for its portrayal of nude men and women cavorting with beasts in a verdant landscape. He approaches the painting as a representation of a world without history and without law, whose imagery attracted significant attention during similarly lawless historical periods. The discussion emerges from a larger project in which Koerner explores the relationship between art and freedom under a range of emergency “states of siege,” including apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany.<br /> <br /> A UC Berkeley alumnus, Koerner received his PhD in history of art. He is the author of numerous books, including Caspar David Friedrich and the Subject of Landscape and Dürer’s Hands. He wrote and presented the three-part television series Northern Renaissance and the documentary Vienna: City of Dreams, both produced by the BBC.<br /> <br /> Koerner’s roster of major honors includes the Andrew W. Mellon Distinguished Achievement Award, which provided him with resources to pursue many scholarly projects.<br /> <br /> During his visit to Berkeley, Koerner also leads a symposium on “Art in a State of Siege” on Friday, March 16, at 1 pm in the Townsend Center’s Geballe Room, 220 Stephens Hall. He will screen a preview of his documentary film, The Burning Child, at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive on Saturday, March 17, at 4 pm. The film explores Koerner’s return to Vienna to explore the birthplace of his father, the painter Henry Koerner, and is a meditation on the concepts of home and homemaking that emerged amidst the turbulence of 20th-century Vienna.<br /> <br /> The Avenali Lecture and Symposium are free and open to the public. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=114679&date=2018-03-15 Annette Yoshiko Reed, Mar 15 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=114618&date=2018-03-15 2018 Taubman Lecture Series<br /> <br /> Lecture 1: Monday, March 12, 7 pm: What Was Lost with the Dead Sea Scrolls <br /> <br /> Lecture 2: Wednesday, March 14, 7 pm: How the Jewishness of Christianity was Forgotten<br /> <br /> <b>Lecture 3: Thursday, March 15, 5:30 pm: Forgetting and Remembering Second Temple Judaism</b> <br /> Lecture followed by reception with unforgettable delectables.<br /> <br /> Annette Yoshiko Reed joined the NYU faculty in 2017 after teaching at McMaster University and UPenn.

Douglas explores the frustration, creativity, and technical expertise behind these interventions, but also the position of privilege from which they often come. The Help-Yourself City tells a street-level story of people's relationships to their urban surroundings and the individualization of democratic responsibility. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115511&date=2018-03-20 Finding Health Statistics and Data, Mar 21 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115718&date=2018-03-21 Participants in this workshop will learn about some of the issues surrounding the collection of health statistics, and will also learn about authoritative sources of health statistics and data. We will look at tools that let you create custom tables of vital statistics (birth, death, etc.), disease statistics, health behavior statistics, and more. The focus will be on U.S. statistics, but sources of non-U.S. statistics will be covered as well.<br /> <br /> Whether you need a quick fact or a data set to analyze, this workshop will lead you to relevant data sources.<br /> <br /> Please bring a laptop or other device because we will be exploring several sources of statistics and data. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115718&date=2018-03-21 Berkeley 150 Charter Day Celebration, Mar 23 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=114148&date=2018-03-23 Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate 150 years of Berkeley’s extraordinary life.

V. Starr East Asian Library and the Center for Japanese Studies are proud to present an installation of work by Masako Takahashi, Class of ‘74, which will run from March 24 through May 1. The opening reception will be on Saturday, March 24, from 3:00-5:00PM at the C. V. Starr East Asian Library.<br /> <br /> "Antidotal" is in two parts. Playful, vibrantly colorful wool pompoms will be suspended throughout the library. Their confident colors and comforting textures offer an antidote to the toxic stresses of contemporary life. Additionally, a selection of "Hair Text" pieces, Takahashi's own hair embroidered onto silk in an enigmatic text, will be included in display cases and on the walls of the first floor. Takahashi, an American of Japanese ancestry, lives and works in San Francisco and has maintained a studio in Mexico since 1984. She has been widely exhibited in North America and Europe.<br /> <br /> This event is free and open to the public. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=116189&date=2018-03-24 Edible Book Festival, Apr 9 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=116336&date=2018-04-09 The Berkeley University Library is pleased to host its second Edible Book Festival!<br /> <br /> Edible Book Festivals feature creative food projects that draw their inspiration from books and stories.

Forming the nascent field of nutritional science, this network of scientists included UC Berkeley's first professor of nutrition, Myer Jaffa, who began conducting research on human nutrition in the 1890s. This research largely took place at the tables of his subjects, where he observed their dietary choices and health. By 1930, when Professor Agnes Fay Morgan led nutritional research at Berkeley, the science had shifted dramatically from field research to laboratory research. Drawing from the Jaffa and Morgan collections housed in The Bancroft Library, Killion will discuss the development of nutritional science on campus during a transformative period in American food history. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115489&date=2018-04-19 Publish Digital Books and Open Textbooks with Pressbooks, Apr 26 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=116451&date=2018-04-26 If you're looking to self-publish work of any length and want an easy-to-use tool that offers a high degree of customization, allows flexibility with publishing formats (EPUB, MOBI, PDF), and provides web-hosting options, Pressbooks may be great for you. Pressbooks is often the tool of choice for academics creating digital books, open textbooks, and open educational resources, since you can license your materials for reuse however you desire. The Library is launching a new Pressbooks site just for UC Berkeley users so anyone on campus can have access to a wide array of digital publishing tools. Learn why and how to use Pressbooks for publishing your original books or course materials. You'll leave the workshop with a project already under way! http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=116451&date=2018-04-26 Book Talk: Grateful Nation: Student Veterans and the Rise of the Military-Friendly Campus, Apr 26 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115350&date=2018-04-26 Grateful Nation: Student Veterans and the Rise of the Military-Friendly Campus (Duke University Press) traces the college experiences of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans on California college campuses. Ellen Moore's book findings challenge the popular narrative that explain student veterans' academic difficulties, while showing how these narratives lead to suppression of campus debates about current wars. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115350&date=2018-04-26 The Long Haul: Best Practices for Making Your Digital Project Last, May 1 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=110695&date=2018-05-01 You've invested a lot of work in creating a digital project, but how do you ensure it has staying power? We'll look at choices you can make at the beginning of project development to influence sustainability, best practices for documentation and asset management, and how to sunset your project in a way that ensures long-term access for future researchers. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=110695&date=2018-05-01 Bancroft Library Roundtable: The Business of Silver and Gold: Comstock Mines, California Finance, and the Production of Money in the Gilded Age West, 1860-1879, May 17 http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115490&date=2018-05-17 The discovery and mining of precious metals were central to the development of the American West, from the initial gold rush in 1848 through the end of the nineteenth century. But how was the region's silver and gold actually transformed into money--specie and bullion--and how did their production affect the American economy? Surveying the development of Nevada's Comstock Lode from 1860 to 1879, Elliott charts the production of these complex commodities from the mine to the mint and into circulation. By viewing California and Nevada as producers of bullion for a growing national financial system, Elliott offers a new perspective on the history of western mining and the region's role in the Gilded Age economy. The presentation will focus, in part, on how The Bancroft Library's collections have helped the speaker piece together the network of mines and mills on the Comstock, banks and brokers in San Francisco, and the rest of the nation's burgeoning financial system. http://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/calendar/sn/library.html?event_ID=115490&date=2018-05-17
