Graduate Alumna Dr. Monika S. Jones (2020) PhD Awarded 2020 Dean’s Fellowship Prize for Humanistic Studies 🥳🥳🥳 Dr. Monika Sengul-Jones who defended her dissertation earlier this year, has been selected as the winner of the UC San Diego Dean’s Fellowship Prize for Humanistic Studies. This is a competitive award awarded to one graduate doctoral student annually in the humanistic or humanistic social sciences. Sengul-Jones joined a Zoom call with her committee in full prepared to have a conversation about her dissertation when they surprised her with the good news. “I was floored,” Sengul-Jones said.  Sengul-Jones was nominated for perseverance in her research of women writing on the internet by her doctoral thesis committee: Lisa Cartwright (Communication, Visual Arts, Science Studies), Dan Hallin (UCSD Communication), Lilly Irani (UCSD Communication & Science Studies), Martha Lampland (UCSD Sociology & Science Studies), Liz Losh (William & Mary, English) and Kalindi Vora (UC Davis, Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies). • • • • • • #ucsd #ucsdtritons #ucsdcommunication #college #undergraduate #mediaproduction #mediastudies #criticaltheory #criticaldesign #politicalscience #politicaltheory #democracylab #communicationsmajor #communications #ucsdcomm #journalism #socialtheory #sociology #sciencestudies #scienceandtechnology #sts #storytelling #popularculture #wikipedia #feministstudies #genderstudies #feminism (at UC San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFVkT2hDGkU/?igshid=1y02g26tq4ctp

Check out this event hosted by University of California Humanities Research Institute this Friday. There is movement. In the air and on the ground. Movement in bodies gathering together in collective demand for change or fleeing threat. Movement in the travel of language within and across boundaries and borders, carrying histories and horizons. Movement in the dense networks of everyday social relation evoking our mutual responsibility and reliability. Movement that precludes and makes possible. On Friday, July 17, at 12:00 pm PDT, join UCHRI on Zoom for Race at Boiling Point: Movement We Make, a conversation with Patrisse Cullors (co-founder, Black Lives Matter/Dignity and Power Now), Ruth Wilson Gilmore (City University of New York), AbdouMaliq Simone (University of Sheffield), Rafeef Ziadah (University of London), and moderator Avery Gordon (UC Santa Barbara). Please RSVP to receive a personalized link to join the Zoom webinar or at this link: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_WbWslUA_SWyuNsSgYuYQXQ (at UC San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCob4kPjhmR/?igshid=10lfvq7706etv

#Repost @jtknoxroxs • • • • • • Remember, as you continue in dialogue and solidarity with the black Neurodivergent community, true advocates and allies please take note: To be Pro Neurodiversity is to be Anti Racist. We’ve had this conversation before: For The Black NeuroFam the target of inequity is bigger. 50% of people killed as a result of unjust policing are people with disabilities. To be Black and Autistic is to be a direct target in America today. We’re not always safe, understood and accepted by many. This fist integrated with the Neurodiversity symbol is the first step of an anti racist artist/advocate/ally collective I’m building to amplify BIPOC. I am half Puertorrican so Latinx, Caribbean voices must be included. #Neurodiversity #AutismAcceptance #AutisticJoy #BlackAutisticJoy #blacklivesmatter #BlackDisabledLivesMatter #ladieswhodesign (at UC San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBt6vXgjAhM/?igshid=1lkxk3ci8e3ep

#Repost @nativelikewater • • • • • • In So Cal, the defined term of “localism”, in current times, is poco loco. We must truly include the 20,000 years of coastal culture. Think about these contributions and how we may benefit as a human family. Locations benefit, education benefits. Think about restorative justice for both humans and environment. What a great horizon to begin sharing with one another. A swell to ride in unity. #indigenizeeducation #sincecreation. .

The Department of Communication is outraged, aggrieved, and heartbroken by the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police. We say his name and the names of so many other precious Black lives that have been lost at the hands of state and state-sanctioned extrajudicial violence. Tanisha Anderson. Ahmaud Arbery. Sandra Bland. Jonathan Coronel. Atatiana Jefferson. Charleena Lyles. Tony McDade. Alfred Olango. Aiyana Stanley-Jones. Breonna Taylor. Jonathan F. Vasquez...  We extend our deepest solidarity with Black students, staff, and faculty at our university, with Black communities across the country, and with people throughout the world who are grieving. We declare that ALL Black Lives Matter here and across the world.  Read more at the following link or follow link in bio: https://communication.ucsd.edu/about/blm.html - - #ucsd #ucsdtritons #ucsdcommunication #college #undergraduate #mediaproduction #mediastudies #criticaltheory #criticaldesign #politicalscience #politicaltheory #culturalstudies #democracylab #communicationsmajor #communications #ucsdcomm #journalism #socialtheory #disabilitystudies #scienceandtechnology #sts #storytelling #popularculture #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatter✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 (at UC San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBFJQbsjDYm/?igshid=zaw4keanhvty
