![The Constitutional Right to Transition: Reconstruction and the Political History of Transphobia
A version of this video with audio description track is available here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz5Dxydqm3c
Award-winning historian Jules Gill-Peterson examines transgender identity and politics through the lens of American liberalism, arguing that anti-transgender politics cannot be understood by analyzing conservatism alone. She traces the emergence of transgender identity from middle-class cross-dressing cultures, the development of transgender medicine, and the class tensions surrounding transition. Gill-Peterson connects this history to U.S. v. Skrmetti, the vulnerability of transition-related health care, and what she describes as liberal discomfort with dysphoria and changing sex. She calls for a politics centered on defending transsexual people and a right to transition. Recorded on 04/30/2026. [Show ID: 41447]

![How I Learned What I Learned: Using Interaction Orders to Study Troubled Interactions
Troubled interactions are moments when communication breaks down in subtle, often unnoticed ways. In this program, Waverly Duck, an urban ethnographer and professor of sociology at UC Santa Barbara, discusses these breakdowns, revealing surprising aspects of how we create meaning and self-identity. Through video and audio recordings, Duck shows how misunderstandings lead people to assign motives to each other, creating conflict. Examples from Ducks research include neighborhood poverty, food inequality, and autism assessments. These cases highlight hidden social rules and practices, demonstrating how studying these troubles can help us understand everyday interactions better. Recorded on 07/08/2024. [Show ID: 40131]

![Evolution and Animal Minds
Peter Godfrey-Smith, Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Sydney, explores the evolutionary roots of consciousness by surveying animal evolution and the emergence of felt experience in several lineages. He examines two central philosophical questions: how such experience might arise gradually, existing in partial forms, and whether it represents a single unified feature with variations or instead a cluster of distinct traits. Author of Darwinian Populations and Natural Selection, and Living on Earth: Forests, Corals, Consciousness and the Making of the World, Godfrey-Smith brings his expertise in philosophy of biology and mind to illuminate how consciousness may have emerged and why its origins remain a profound puzzle.

Clouds spark our imaginations. As we fly over Earth, clouds provide beauty, harmony, drama, and reveal Earth’s stories. From orbit, even night clouds offer their intrigues, as in this flight from the ISS Expedition 41 with clouds dancing over Europe at night. Clouds also serve as metaphor, embraced in this music by Steve Thomas featuring the stirring vocals of Patty Barkas. When we have trouble communicating with someone, perhaps their minds may be in the clouds, dreaming of far horizons, and the clouds beyond. [Show ID: 40590]

![Shana Moultons Time-based and Immersive Video Art
Artist Shana Moulton’s other self, ‘Cynthia,’ seeks enlightenment through song, shopping and exercise.
Performing the misadventures of her semi-autobiographical alter ego, artist Shana Moulton has drawn attention in the field of new media studies. Over two decades, Moulton, a professor of time-based arts at UC Santa Barbara, has used physical comedy to interpret her artistic creation, “Cynthia,” a wide-eyed ingénue.
In Moultons performance, video and sculpture series, Whispering Pines — named after the trailer park in Central California where Moulton grew up — Cynthia often sports a housecoat or spandex and seeks enlightenment through exercise and shopping.
Most recently, Moulton presented an extension of “Whispering Pines” — “Meta/Physical Therapy” — at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. (While the work was on view, from Feb. 17 to April 21, 2024, the museums overall attendance was close to half a million people.) [Show ID: 40207]
