SUMMARY:John Brown Childs Oral History Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join Special Collections & Archives at UCSC for a celebration 
 of the newly published oral history of Distinguished Professor Emeritus 
 John Brown Childs. Over months of in-depth interviews with oral historian 
 Cameron Vanderscoff\, Childs reflected on a life shaped by the “two 
 mighty currents” of his heritage–he is of African-Madagascan and Native 
 American descent and is an enrolled member of the Masachoosut [Big Hills] 
 community of Indigenous People–his work on the frontlines of the civil 
 rights movement of the 1960s\, and his career centering scholarship and 
 community work around peacemaking and “transcommunal cooperation.” 
 \n\nAs a partner with the community organization Barrios Unidos\, John 
 Brown Childs has spent the past twenty years teaching in Soledad Prison 
 where he works with the diverse “Cemanahuac One-World Cultural Group” 
 of incarcerated men. He is the author of numerous works\, including the 
 book Transcommunality\, from the Politics of Conversion to the Ethics of 
 Respect. \n\nCameron Vanderscoff (Cowell ‘11) started his oral history 
 career at UCSC interviewing founding faculty and is co-editor of Seeds of 
 Something Different\, a 2020 two-volume oral history of UCSC. Cameron is 
 lecturer at Cowell College and co-founder of the Okinawa Memories 
 Initiative\, and public historical dialogue and grassroots education is at 
 the heart of his work. \n\nIn this special event\, Childs and Vanderscoff 
 will discuss the power\, purpose\, and process of oral history\, 
 highlighting the ways this unique methodology can transform the lived 
 experience into a lasting record and link generations. Celebrate our oral 
 history’s publication\, hear the stories behind the stories\, and explore 
 how life history shapes public change.\n\n\n	Masks will be available at the 
 event. Please take care of yourself and others by staying home if you feel 
 unwell. \n	Parking on campus can be difficult. We encourage attendees to 
 carpool or take public transportation. ParkMobile is available at both the 
 Hahn Lot 101 and Performing Arts Lot 126 for a $10 evening flat rate. NOTE: 
 Lot 126 is a 5 minute walk from the Library requiring the ascent of 
 stairways. There are limited handicap spaces available in front of the 
 library but if you have mobility concerns we encourage you to carpool and 
 be dropped off at the main Library entrance. Click here for more
