Join us at the launch of our new, student-curated exhibition A Constant Struggle: An Ongoing History of Student Protest at UCSC. You'll learn how to write letters of support and solidarity to U.S. political prisoners. All materials and resources will be provided, and all are welcome!

This exhibition was curated by UCSC Special Collections and Archives Undergraduate Intern Lou Havstad.

Exhibition description:

UC Santa Cruz has long been a site of activism, known for its countercultural ethos and radical politics. Outsiders often reduce this legacy to caricatures—hippies, “subversives,” and student radicals—the kind of buzzwords made for sensational headlines. Yet beneath these stereotypes lies a deeper history of student movements committed to challenging institutional power. This exhibition seeks to move beyond the mythos and reckon with the realities of protest at UCSC: its challenges, contradictions, and lasting impact.

The title of this exhibition draws inspiration from Professor Emerita Angela Davis’ Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement (2015), a collection of essays, speeches, and interviews that explore the interconnectedness of global struggles for freedom and justice. In the same spirit, this exhibition traces how UCSC students have continually situated their activism within larger, transnational struggles against oppression. From anti-war demonstrations and movements against institutional racism to campaigns for labor rights and divestment, student protests have shaped not only the culture but also the very landscape of the campus.

At the same time, the institution itself often appropriates the language and imagery of past movements, raising urgent questions about how radical action is remembered, co-opted, or silenced over time. This exhibition coincides with the processing of Special Collections’ newly accessible Student Activism and Protest Collection (UA 170), a growing archive that documents decades of campus activism. In organizing this material, the archivist/curator identified recurring strategies, alliances, and ideological shifts that reveal both continuity and transformation across generations. These archival traces invite reflection—not only on the effectiveness of past movements, but also on what it means, in our own moment, to carry forward in the constant struggle.

How do we choose to protest? How do we resist forces that seek to suppress dissent? And how do we ensure that our calls for justice and freedom are not absorbed into institutional rhetoric, but translated into lasting, transformative change?

On Friday, June 06 at 1:20 pm, you are invited to join Associate Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Karen Miga’s BME 80G Bioethics course for a talk by Tina Lasisi.

Forensic DNA databases disproportionately contain the genetic profiles of Black Americans, reflecting systemic biases in policing practices and inequitable application of DNA collection laws. Yet, the ethical implications of genetic surveillance extend beyond individual inclusion, implicating entire families and communities due to shared genetic ties. Historical differences in family structure—characterized by higher variance in family size among Black Americans—further compound this disparity. Larger family sizes increase genetic detectability through familial DNA searches, effectively expanding surveillance across genetically related individuals, even when those individuals are not themselves the initial target of investigation.This dynamic exemplifies how technologies initially designed under one scientific paradigm—identifying single individuals through a limited set of genetic markers—can evolve, gaining unforeseen capabilities like familial identification. As genetic data continues to accumulate in diverse databases, including commercial ventures such as direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies, the potential for future uses beyond original intentions increases dramatically. This underscores the need for proactive ethical reflection and policy development to anticipate and mitigate unintended disparities, ensuring that the accumulation and repurposing of genetic data does not deepen existing racial injustices or create new vulnerabilities.

Tina Lasisi is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan. Her research integrates population genetics, evolutionary biology, and anthropology to understand human biological variation, particularly focusing on hair, skin, and pigmentation. Her current work examines the ethical and social implications of forensic genetics, particularly how systemic disparities in genetic databases contribute to racialized surveillance. In addition to her academic work, she is committed to public scholarship, engaging in science communication initiatives that promote a more accurate and nuanced understanding of human variation.

Co-hosted by the UCSC Department of Biomolecular Engineering, the Genomics Institute, and the Science & Justice Research Center.

Available: In-Person

In-Person location: PSB205, Dean’s conference room

Understanding that this may feel like a difficult time to focus on writing amidst all the uncertainty in the federal funding landscape, but summer will soon be here. For those of you interested in connecting with others and reserving time to write, you are invited to an inaugural, in-person Faculty Writing Lab from 10 am-2 pm, Thursday, June 12th, in PSB205.

Come for all or part of the reserved time and join other colleagues in a writing-focused community of practice that facilitates cross-disciplinary relationships, scholarship, and grant funding. Members of the Office of Research’s Research Development team will be on hand for 1:1 consultations or to provide tips and resources on grant-writing and proposal development.

Please register HERE, so we can gauge interest and prepare the coffee and snacks.

We hope to see you!
