[Sfts-students] Fwd: [sts-friends] INVITATION: STS Summer Retreat, June 30th-July 2nd, Marin Headlands CA

Tue May 9 14:30:42 PDT 2023

Dear SFCS students,

Please see below re: an STS retreat hosted by the University of Davis.

I'm willing to pay the fee ($170 per person) for anyone working on sf and
STS who wishes to attend. Our students have attended this program in the
past, but it has been a few years due to covid disruptions.

You would have to find your own transportation to the Sausalito area.

Since we have to sort out the payment details by May 30 for inter-campus
transfer, please let me know by May 26 if you wish to attend.

best,
Sherryl
Sherryl Vint (she/her)
Professor and Chair, Department of English

Dear STS friends:

The Annual California STS Summer Retreat is back and we want you to join
us! This is an amazing way to meet other STS grads and faculty from across
California, share ideas and walks and tips about publishing and otherwise
making STS part of your life. It takes place on a beautiful beach with
fresh cooked food, big meeting space, and collective activity.

After having to cancel the retreat in 2019 and a way too long hiatus, the
retreat will be held again in Marin Headlands from June 30th--July 2nd,
2023. We will gather at NatureBridge Beach Campus:

NatureBridge at Golden Gate

Beach Campus
1033 Fort Cronkhite
Sausalito, CA 94965
https://naturebridge.org/locations/golden-gate

Following a very productive and well-established tradition the retreat will
include a variety of workshops and social activities over the course of the
days. For now, these will include:

- Two (2) minutes mini-introductions

- Discussion sessions focusing on dissertation / research project proposals

- Professionalization sessions for both students and early career faculty

- Workshops (topic oriented) led by faculty (TBA)

- Theory walks around campus (i.e., on the beach and hike trails up in the
hills)

- Delicious meals, coffee (included), great company and conversation

Payment:

Through collaboration between the Department of STS at UC Davis (which
provides a subsidy) and NatureBridge the cost of this year’s has been set
at $170.00 per person. This cost includes lodging, meals and Internet
access. The retreat has been designed to host up to 60 participants
(including faculty). Due to this restriction, spaces will be allocated on a
first come first served basis.

Please REGISTER now and PAY by May 30th. Your place in the retreat will be
reserved only once payment has been received. Due to the nature of the
partnership with NatureBridge payment is also NON-REFUNDABLE. Note: If
there’s a waitlist and your circumstances change, you may be able to find a
replacement.

Cash payments should be in the exact amount —no change given— and must be
given in person to:

Wilson Xieu

Department of Philosophy

1240 SS&H

One Shields Avenue

Davis, CA 95616

Check payments should be payable to UC Regents and sent to Wilson Xieu to
the mail address above.

Workshops:

Faculty or postdocs: please let us know if you are interested in guiding
an STS workshop (1-2 hours). The workshop can be on a topic of you
choosing, which can be as inventive or straightforward as you like. We are
developing some workshops already and will announce them as soon as they
are confirmed.

Photographic materials:

If you have participated in previous retreats, we would like to ask you to
support our ongoing efforts to document past retreats and illustrate a new
website by sending photographic materials. We’ll make sure you get proper
credit following a Creative Commons framework.

You’ll be able to find updates about the retreat through these two websites:

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need questions answered or if you
