No\nravine is too perilous\, no abyss too threatening for Jayne Cortez.” Ms.\nCortez – whose career has encompassed writing\, performing\, and teaching –\nis the author of twelve books of poetry and has performed her poems with\nmusic on nine recordings. Her voice is celebrated for its political\,\nsurrealistic\, dynamic innovations in lyricism\, and for its visceral sound –\n“Jayne Cortez’s poems are filled with images that most of us are afraid to\nsee\,” according to novelist Walter Mosley. Ms. Cortez’s poems have been\ntranslated into many languages and widely published in anthologies\,\njournals\, and magazines. She is the recipient of numerous awards\,\nincluding: Arts International\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the\nInternational African Festival Award\, the Langston Hughes Medal\, and the M.\nThelma McAndless Distinguished Professorship in the Humanities at Eastern\nMichigan University. Her most recent books are The Beautiful Book (Bola\nPress\, 2007)\, On The Imperial Highway (Hanging Loose Press\, 2009)\, and Jazz\nFan Looks Back (Hanging Loose Press\, 2002). Her latest CDs with the\nFirespitters are Find Your Own Voice and Borders of Disorderly Time (Bola\nPress)\, and Taking the Blues Back Home (Harmolodic/Verve). Cortez also\ndirected the documentary films Slave Routes: Resistance\, Abolition &\nCreative Progress (2009)\, Yari Yari Pamberi: Black Women Writers Dissecting\nGlobalization (2007)\, and Yari Yari: Black Women Writers and the Future\n(1998). She is co-founder and president of the Organization of Women\nWriters of Africa\, Inc. and can be seen onscreen in the films Women In Jazz\nand Poetry In Motion. \nThe Shirley Kennedy Memorial Lecture is the premier Black Studies event on\nour campus. Dr. Shirley Kennedy was a social justice activist in Santa\nBarbara\, a faculty member in UCSB’s Black Studies Department\, and the\ncommunity affairs coordinator in the Center for Black Studies Research.\nThis lecture series honors her memory as one who merged academia and\ncommunity service in her life and work.

SUMMARY:Spring Insight Open House for prospective freshmen and transfers
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, April 10\, 2010\, the History Department’s Table at the Academic Fair will offer friendly advice and information about the History major at UCSB.\nWhy study history at UCSB instead of at another UC campus? Besides the obvious advantages of our climate and location\, UCSB’s History program offers a broad array of courses from all eras and most geographical regions.  \nSome of our special strengths are visible in the Affiliated Programs section at the bottom of our homepage (scroll down\, list on the right): Borderlands\, Cold War and International Relations\, Gender Studies\, Labor Studies\, Medieval\, and Middle East.  \nThe History of Public Policy\, in which we offer a separate major (requirements page)\, and the History of Science\, Technology\, Environment and Medicine (HOS field page) are also specialties.  \nClick on the FIELDS (here or in the menu bar above) for a list of possible concentrations. \nThe course requirements for the major are listed on our Undergrad Program page. In short\, they are:\n1. Two 3-quarter course sequences (3+3=6 courses)\, chosen from World History\, Western Civilization\, and US History;\n2. Two lower division  elective courses (freshman/sophomore level\, no prerequisites; numbered 1-99);\n3. Ten upper division (numbered 100-199) courses\, at least one of which is a seminar (P or DR after course number). \nIn the case of double majors with other programs or departments (Global Studies\, Political Science\, for example)\, up to two courses from one dept. can be used to fulfill requirements in the other. \nFor a History Minor: 3 lower division and 5 upper division courses are the required minimum. \nA special feature of this website allows you to view course syllabi of current and past courses\, to find out the requirements (readings\, papers\, exams) and daily topics of most courses. Click the COURSES link in the menu bar above. You can see additional quarters from a drop-down menu there. \nFor more information on the open house\, see the:\nOfficial UCSB 2010 Spring Insight homepage with a schedule of events and maps. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \nSincerely\,\nThe UCSB History Department Faculty\, Staff and Students \nPS. You might be interested in this History Department News item about the history of Santa Barbara\, and perusing the News on our  homepage will give you an impression of some of the  . \nhm 3/30/10
