UC BERKELEY

REUNION AND PARENTS WEEKEND at HOMECOMING

OCT. 20–22, 2017

Program

1 5 0 Y E A R S O F L I G H T

One of Abraham Lincoln’s lasting legacies — using land proceeds to establish new schools — gave life to our nation’s educational system. On March 23, 1868, the University of California was born. And Berkeley, its first campus, is today the most distinguished public university in the history of higher education.

Guided by the motto Fiat Lux, our duty is to bring new knowledge to light … to illuminate solutions for bettering the human condition … to be a beacon of opportunity for promising young minds and top faculty. Berkeley 150 honors this legacy.

Throughout 2018, join us in celebrating 150 years of light — and projecting that light forward for another 150 years.

Launching in January

Herstory: Chinese American Women, 165 Years of Struggle and Success 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Ethnic Studies Library (30 Stephens Hall)

Drawn from the personal collection of Dr. Chang C. Chen, “Herstory” features rare photographs and case descriptions of efforts by Chinese American women to gain legal standing in the U.S. Beginning in 1852, the exhibit documents women who fought for equal treatment in the eyes of the law and for citizenship and immigration rights. Far from being passive, Chinese American women have a legacy of resistance, from advocating for the right to public education to fighting against discriminatory detention and deportation. At a time of public debate around immigration and belonging in the United States, this exhibit shines a light on the “herstory” of brave women who fought for their place in America and the place of future generations.

Viruses are master manipulators, and those that persist for long periods of time are extraordinarily well-adapted to coexisting with

their human and animal hosts. This lecture will explore how these minute agents are able to take control of a highly sophisticated cell with only a small set of genetic instructions. We will discuss what they need in order to multiply, and how studying them provides new insights into the inner workings of our own cells.

Britt GlaunsingerAssociate Professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, Department of Plant and Microbial BiologyBritt Glaunsinger leads a biomedical research laboratory that investigates how viruses, particularly those that persist in an infected individual for long periods of time, interact with the infected cell in order to multiply. The primary focus of her research is to understand how herpes viruses hijack or redesign components of the host cell to express their genes. Glaunsinger’s research has been recognized with awards from the Burroughs Wellcome Foundation, the W.M. Keck Foundation, the UC Berkeley Prytanean Women’s Honor Society, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. She was named a 2015 UC Berkeley Miller Professor and the 2017 UC Berkeley Class of 1963 Endowed Chair. More information about her research group can be found at glaunsingerlab.berkeley.edu.

Earthquake Warning: New Technology to Reduce This Critical Threat11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Banatao Auditorium, Sutardja Dai Hall

Earthquakes pose a critical threat to people and infrastructure in the San Francisco Bay Area and in many other parts of the world. By combining advances in earthquake science with new communication capabilities, it is now possible to provide warning of coming earthquake shaking. Warnings of a few seconds to a few minutes can be used to take cover under a sturdy table, to slow and stop trains, and to isolate hazardous machinery and chemicals at work — and to thereby reduce damage and injuries. We will discuss how the

seismic network in California is now generating warnings and the path to public alerts (ShakeAlert.org). We will also demonstrate a new technology that uses smartphones to detect earthquakes that could provide warning around the world (Myshake.berkeley.edu).

Richard AllenProfessor and Chair, Earth and Planetary Science and Director, Seismology LabRichard Allen is an expert in earthquake alerting systems, developing methodologies to detect earthquakes and issue warnings prior to shaking and tsunamis. His group uses seismic and GPS sensing networks and is experimenting with the use of a global smartphone network called MyShake. Testing of the ShakeAlert warning system for the U.S. west coast is currently underway. Allen’s group also uses geophysical sensing networks to image the internal 3D structure of the Earth and constrain the driving forces responsible for earthquakes, volcanoes, and other deformation of the Earth’s surface. His research has been featured in Science, Nature, Scientific American, the New York Times, and dozens of other media outlets around the world. He has a B.A. from Cambridge, a Ph.D. from Princeton, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Caltech.

There Goes the Neighborhood: The Challenge of American Immigration3:30–4:30 p.m. Sibley Auditorium, Bechtel Engineering Center

This conversation will take on the state of American immigrant integration in the 21st century: beyond fiery debates online, in the media, and on the political stage over immigration, ordinary people in communities across the United States confront this integration daily. Some deal with incorporating newcomers into their communities; others are adjusting to life in a new country. What works and where are the challenges we must confront? Research shows significant progress in integration over time and across generations, whether we examine income, education, or English language ability. We also find some problems: immigrants are healthier than those born in the United States and are less likely to commit crimes, but these benefits disappear with their U.S.-born children. As we grapple with the reality of immigration and the changing nature of American identity, how can we build on the best of American values and immigrants’ promise?

Irene BloemraadProfessor, Sociology and Co-founder of the Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration InitiativeIrene Bloemraad’s research examines how immigrants become incorporated into the political and civic life of their adopted countries and the consequences


of their presence for politics and understandings of citizenship. Her work has been published in journals spanning sociology, political science, history, and ethnic/migration studies. She is the author or co-editor of the Oxford Handbook of Citizenship, Rallying for Immigrant Rights, Civic Hopes and Political Realities, and Becoming a Citizen: Incorporating Immigrants and Refugees in the United States and Canada. In 2014 and 2015, Bloemraad served as a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences committee reporting on the integration of immigrants into U.S. society. She is the proud recipient of multiple Cal teaching and mentorship awards.

California’s Native Languages: History and Revival9–10 a.m. Alumni House

In this lecture, we will discuss the unique language profile of California, whose 90 or more Native languages belong to more than a dozen different language families. UC Berkeley researchers have played a central role in documenting these languages, even as Europeans have decimated their communities and European languages have replaced them in daily usage. Language restoration is an active effort throughout our state, and documentation in Berkeley archives can be used in this effort.

UC Berkeley and the Political Economy of Public Higher Education12–1 p.m. Alumni House

Public higher education is struggling financially throughout the United States, and the University of California is no exception. Right here at UC Berkeley we are in the midst of a $110 million budget crisis that has created tension throughout the campus and is forcing us to wrestle with the challenge of trying to deliver the best education in the world with ever-dwindling resources. Our financial struggles, moreover, have not been borne evenly: surprising increases in spending coupled with steadily decreasing state funding have been met with rapid increases in tuition, creating levels of student debt never before seen and decreasing access to the public university. Taking a political economy approach, we will look at the forces that are shaping public higher education today and try to uncover how we ended up in the situation in which we now find ourselves, what possibilities the future might hold, and what role each of us might play in bringing about those futures.

A Tale of Two Fats: Fighting the Obesity Epidemic by Engineering Brown Adipose Tissue1:30–2:30 p.m. Alumni House

Current approaches to treat obesity and associated disorders like diabetes and fatty liver disease have proven inefficient, judging by the unabated rise of such diseases in the U.S. and worldwide. This lecture outlines how we are developing and testing a novel anti-obesity approach based on the expansion of “brown fat,” a tissue type with a very high metabolic activity that might lead to the conversion of excess calories into heat.


Andreas StahlProfessor and Chair, Department of Nutritional Sciences After receiving his Ph.D. for work done at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Andreas Stahl expanded his training at the Whitehead Institute/MIT where he uncovered a family of fatty acid transporters.

Human Resilience: The Role of Emotions and Emotion Regulation in Overcoming Stress1:30–2:30 p.m. Banatao Auditorium, Sutardja Dai Hall

Psychological stress caused by events such as loss, conflict, and poverty can have devastating effects on psychological and physical health. It does not, however, have these effects on all people. The question this lecture explores is, “How do resilient people avoid the harmful effects of stress?” In answering this question, we’ll consider what makes stress harmful and how people can neutralize it by achieving control over — regulating — their emotions.

Iris MaussAssociate Professor, Department of PsychologyIris Mauss, originally from Germany, received her Ph.D. in psychology in 2005 from Stanford University. She was an assistant professor at the University of Denver before joining the faculty at UC Berkeley.
