 uschatz\nDr. Jeffrey Neuschatz \nI am Dr. Jeffrey S. Neuschatz\, a cogniti
 ve psychologist whose research sits at the intersection of memory\, percep
 tion\, and the law. I hold a BA in Psychology from Roger Williams Universi
 ty\, an MA in General Experimental Psychology from SUNY Cortland\, and a P
 hD in Cognitive Psychology from Binghamton University. Before joining the 
 Applied Psychological Science program at Fielding\, I was a faculty member
  in the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Department of Psychology
 . During my tenure at UAH\, I advanced to become a Distinguished Professor
  and\, in 2022\, received the King-McDonald Eminent Scholars Professorship
  in Psychology. \nI’ve published over 75 peer-reviewed journal articles 
 and book chapters\, including notable authored volumes such as The Psychol
 ogy of Eyewitness Identification (2012) and Hugo Münsterberg’s Psycholo
 gy and Law: A Historical and Contemporary Assessment (2019). In 2022\, my 
 co-author\, Jonathan Golding\, and I published “Jailhouse Informants: Ps
 ychological and Legal Perspectives\,” addressing how informant testimony
  can impact verdicts and contribute to wrongful convictions. I also served
  as the Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Psychology\, Crime & 
 Law. \nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford\nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford \nI am Dr. K
 aren Dill Shackleford\, a social psychologist who explores how we\, as hum
 ans\, use stories and media to understand ourselves and the world around u
 s. My passion lies in studying how fictional narratives—like TV shows\, 
 books\, and games—help shape our identities\, beliefs\, and sense of bel
 onging. I’m especially interested in fandom\, race and gender representa
 tion\, and the powerful role of media in promoting (or challenging) social
  justice. \nI lead the Entertainment Psychology Lab where we actively enga
 ge in qualitative and quantitative research on  a diversity of topics inc
 luding why we repeatedly watch the same television show and how it feels w
 hen a TV theme song takes us on a nostalgic journey. \nMy PhD is from the 
 University of Missouri-Columbia\, where my dissertation on media violence 
 became one of the most cited in the field. Over the years\, I’ve testifi
 ed before Congress about media violence and misogyny in music\, and I’ve
  collaborated with the APA to help shape national policy on violence in vi
 deo games. (Fun fact: the makers of Grand Theft Auto IV even named a car a
 fter me—the “Karin Dilettante”—a cheeky nod to the media effects d
 ebate!)

DESCRIPTION:Join the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics for the next 
 exciting installment in the KITP Public Lecture series\, “Artificial Int
 elligence and the Age of Emergence”.\n\n\nThe universe is made up of thi
 ngs that interact. From microscopic particles in matter to human minds on 
 the internet\, these interactions can produce remarkable examples of “em
 ergence”\, or complex behavior that cannot be predicted from individual 
 parts.\nPhysicists remain deeply puzzled by emergence\, as it produces rem
 arkable properties observed in some materials. The mystery extends beyond 
 physics to the rise of life\, the existence of consciousness\, and even th
 e spread of internet memes. In this lecture\, Roger Melko will follow comm
 on threads connecting these phenomena to the most striking recent example 
 of emergence\, artificial intelligence.\nAI may itself offer new tools for
  unravelling the mysteries of emergence. Melko will describe how we are al
 ready using it to understand and control complex quantum systems\, includi
 ng quantum computers. Finally\, he will ask whether a deeper understanding
  of hierarchies of emergence could allow us to harness it as a scientific 
 and technological resource.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nRoger Melko is a theore
 tical physicist at the University of Waterloo and the Perimeter Institute 
 for Theoretical Physics. He earned his PhD from UCSB\, where he studied co
 mputational approaches to quantum matter. He then spent two years at Oak R
 idge National Laboratory developing quantum simulations for some of the la
 rgest computers in the world\, before returning to Canada to take up his p
 rofessorship at Waterloo.\nFor the last decade\, his research has explored
  the emerging relationship between artificial intelligence\, condensed mat
 ter physics\, and quantum science. His current work aims to bring AI and q
 uantum computers together\, creating a virtuous cycle in which intelligent
  machines help accelerate the development of quantum computers\, and new A
 I/quantum hybrids open entirely new frontiers in complexity and intelligen
 ce for physicists to explore.\n\n \n\nReception at 5PM\, Talk at 6PM\n\nPa
 rking will be provided in Lot 10\nIn-Person RSVP: https://lp.constantconta

 ve psychologist whose research sits at the intersection of memory\, percep
 tion\, and the law. I hold a BA in Psychology from Roger Williams Universi
 ty\, an MA in General Experimental Psychology from SUNY Cortland\, and a P
 hD in Cognitive Psychology from Binghamton University. Before joining the 
 Applied Psychological Science program at Fielding\, I was a faculty member
  in the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Department of Psychology
 . During my tenure at UAH\, I advanced to become a Distinguished Professor
  and\, in 2022\, received the King-McDonald Eminent Scholars Professorship
  in Psychology. \nI’ve published over 75 peer-reviewed journal articles 
 and book chapters\, including notable authored volumes such as The Psychol
 ogy of Eyewitness Identification (2012) and Hugo Münsterberg’s Psycholo
 gy and Law: A Historical and Contemporary Assessment (2019). In 2022\, my 
 co-author\, Jonathan Golding\, and I published “Jailhouse Informants: Ps
 ychological and Legal Perspectives\,” addressing how informant testimony
  can impact verdicts and contribute to wrongful convictions. I also served
  as the Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Psychology\, Crime & 
 Law. \nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford\nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford \nI am Dr. K
 aren Dill Shackleford\, a social psychologist who explores how we\, as hum
 ans\, use stories and media to understand ourselves and the world around u
 s. My passion lies in studying how fictional narratives—like TV shows\, 
 books\, and games—help shape our identities\, beliefs\, and sense of bel
 onging. I’m especially interested in fandom\, race and gender representa
 tion\, and the powerful role of media in promoting (or challenging) social
  justice. \nI lead the Entertainment Psychology Lab where we actively enga
 ge in qualitative and quantitative research on  a diversity of topics inc
 luding why we repeatedly watch the same television show and how it feels w
 hen a TV theme song takes us on a nostalgic journey. \nMy PhD is from the 
 University of Missouri-Columbia\, where my dissertation on media violence 
 became one of the most cited in the field. Over the years\, I’ve testifi
 ed before Congress about media violence and misogyny in music\, and I’ve
  collaborated with the APA to help shape national policy on violence in vi
 deo games. (Fun fact: the makers of Grand Theft Auto IV even named a car a

 highlighting the reality that many people living along the surrounding coa
 stline have never meaningfully experienced it. Ragland will discuss what i
 s possible when ocean fluency is built at scale and how that vision could 
 strengthen marine conservation\, workforce development\, community resilie
 nce\, and the long-term health of the coastlines on which society depends.
  \n“There is no institutional infrastructure that normalizes ocean immer
 sion for coastal communities\,” said Ragland. “This fragmented familia
 rity produces fragmented stewardship. You can’t build a coalition broad 
 enough to protect something that most of your community has never had the 
 chance to experience.” \nChris Ragland is the founder and executive dire
 ctor of Sea League\, a Santa Barbara organization innovating how youth con
 nect to the ocean. A waterman-turned-social entrepreneur\, he brings toget
 her a decade of experience as a surf coach\, lifeguard\, and kayak guide i
 n Channel Islands National Park with leadership in environmental advocacy 
 and public engagement. As Creative Director at FinalStraw\, he helped adva
 nce efforts that eliminated 300 million single-use straws. He has also col
 laborated with NOAA and California’s Ocean Protection Council on public 
 engagement and served on the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary Adv
 isory Council. \n“Chris Ragland brings an inspiring and necessary perspe
 ctive to the conversation about the future of our coast\,” said SBMM Exe
 cutive Director Dean Noble. “His work challenges us to think differently
  about who has access to the ocean\, why that matters\, and how those conn
 ections shape the next generation of marine stewards.” \nThrough the Mar
 itime Distinguished Speaker Series\, SBMM continues to bring leading voice
 s in ocean science\, maritime history\, conservation\, and coastal culture
  to the Santa Barbara community\, reinforcing the museum’s mission to il
 luminate our rich connections with the sea through education and storytell
 ing.

DESCRIPTION:About this event\nNon-profits are not treated any differently 
 under California wage and hour law than for-profit companies. There are ma
 ny pitfalls that most non-profits have no idea exist. Most do not have ded
 icated HR full-time professionals\, and even if they do\, there are still 
 issues that slip through the cracks. \nIn this interactive session\, we wi
 ll explore some of the blind spots and common supervisory mistakes that ca
 n create liability for your nonprofit organization and the steps you can t
 ake to address them. Among the items we will examine: \nHas your nonprofit
  properly categorized its workers as salaried exempt or hourly nonexempt? 
 You may be surprised at the rules.\nWhen you want to revise employee job d
 escriptions and roles\, how much can a role change before it becomes a new
  position? How should you be documenting it?\nIs your organization observi
 ng meals and rest breaks correctly with proper documentation?\nIf employee
 s are using their personal equipment (cell phone\, tablet\, computer\, hom
 e Internet\, home electricity) on behalf of the organization\, are you pro
 perly reimbursing them?\nDo your pay stubs comply with very specific Calif
 ornia law? (Don’t rely exclusively on your payroll service)\nAre you rou
 nding time for your hourly people?\nWhen you have a big event\, do you let
  your hourly people take time off at different times?\nHow are you managin
 g paid time off (PTO)\, vacation and sick time\, which tend to be more gen
 erous in the nonprofit world?\nThese and many other questions will be answ
 ered during this seminar targeted expressly for nonprofit organizations\, 
 large and small. Come with your real-world questions\, as we will create a
 mple time for Q&A. \nFacilitated by: Jon Light\nAs the managing partner at
  LightGabler LLP\, Jon and his team consult with over 6\,000 companies acr
 oss California on their day-to-day employment law needs.

DESCRIPTION:Register Now!\n\nTitle: Open Science in the Age of AI: A Struc
 tural Biologist's Perspective\n\nInvited speaker: James Fraser\, PhD\,  Er
 nest L. Prien Professor and Chair of the Department of Bioengineering and 
 Therapeutic Sciences\, UCSF.\n\nDescription\nIn 2020\, AlphaFold transform
 ed the field of structural biology by using artificial intelligence (AI) t
 o solve a problem researchers had worked on for over fifty years: predicti
 ng the three-dimensional structure of proteins. Its success was made possi
 ble in part by the extensive collection of protein structures that biologi
 sts have openly shared in the Protein Data Bank since 1971. AlphaFold demo
 nstrates how research shared today can enable discoveries that its creator
 s may never have anticipated.\n\nDrawing on his experiences as a structura
 l biologist\, Dr. Fraser will explore what it means to practice open scien
 ce as new technologies reshape how research is conducted and shared. He wi
 ll discuss how data increasingly have both human and machine audiences\, a
 s well as the debate over the missing AlphaFold3 code. Dr. Fraser will als
 o reflect on the research questions he chooses to tackle because AI still 
 cannot solve them\, and why reviewing the work of others is one of the bes
 t ways to learn how to become a scientist.\n\nSpeaker Bio\nDr. James Frase
 r is the Ernest L. Prien Professor and Chair of the Department of Bioengin
 eering and Therapeutic Sciences at UC San Francisco (UCSF). He received hi
 s PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and was an EMBO Short
 -Term Fellow at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel before beginni
 ng his independent research career at UCSF.\n\nDr. Fraser’s research exp
 lores how proteins move and change shape — and how these dynamics influe
 nce their biological functions. His lab combines experimental and computat
 ional approaches to reveal the different structures proteins can adopt and
  to understand how they respond to chemical\, genetic\, and physical chang
 es. This work bridges structural biology\, biophysics\, protein engineerin
 g\, and drug discovery\, with implications across a range of therapeutic a
 reas. Dr. Fraser’s contributions have been recognized with numerous awar
 ds and honors\, including the Carl Brändén Award from the Protein Societ
 y (2025)\, the inaugural W.H. & W.L. Bragg Prize from the International Un
 ion of Crystallography (2020)\, and an NIH Director’s Early Independence
  Award (2011). He was also named to Forbes magazine’s “30 Under 30” 
 list of rising stars in science and innovation (2011).\n\nAs a leader and 
 active practitioner of open science\, Dr. Fraser has worked to advance mor
 e open\, transparent\, and collaborative approaches to conducting and comm
 unicating research. His lab puts these principles into practice by openly 
 sharing research outputs\, including preprints\, protocols\, data\, and co
 de. For 7 years\, Dr. Fraser served on the board of ASAPbio\, a nonprofit 
 working to promote innovation and transparency in life science communicati
 on. He is also a proponent for open peer review\, including collaborativel
 y reviewing preprints with his trainees and sharing those reviews publicly
  through PREreview. His commitment to open science extends to how research
  and researchers are evaluated\, including advocating for hiring and promo
 tion practices aligned with the principles of the Declaration on Research 
 Assessment (DORA).\n\nEvent logistics\nThis event may be photographed or r

  Some nonprofits can envision success in a decade or two\; others expect t

  of leaders\, who will carry on? How are you adapting to demographic and s
 ocial changes that make board recruitment – and board leadership – mor
 e challenging? \nNonprofits that are serious about their own sustainabilit
 y should also be serious about planning for the smooth and thoughtful tran
 sition of their leadership. Whether this occurs due to intentional term li
 mits\, an unexpected vacancy\, or the anticipated stepping-down of a long-
 tenured leader\, being ready with a plan in place can help a nonprofit wea
 ther the inevitable storms of leadership transition. \nIn this webinar\, w
 e’ll discuss: \nHow organizations grow and change over time – and how 
 leadership needs change as nonprofits grow.\nBoard recruitment with an eye
  toward succession planning.\nSuccession planning strategies for new and l
 ong-serving Board chairs.\nPreparing for planned (and unplanned) vacancies
 .\nLeadership sharing approaches that will help grow future leaders.\nTang
 ible tips for training and empowering others to lead.\nThis workshop is de

 ve psychologist whose research sits at the intersection of memory\, percep
 tion\, and the law. I hold a BA in Psychology from Roger Williams Universi
 ty\, an MA in General Experimental Psychology from SUNY Cortland\, and a P
 hD in Cognitive Psychology from Binghamton University. Before joining the 
 Applied Psychological Science program at Fielding\, I was a faculty member
  in the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Department of Psychology
 . During my tenure at UAH\, I advanced to become a Distinguished Professor
  and\, in 2022\, received the King-McDonald Eminent Scholars Professorship
  in Psychology. \nI’ve published over 75 peer-reviewed journal articles 
 and book chapters\, including notable authored volumes such as The Psychol
 ogy of Eyewitness Identification (2012) and Hugo Münsterberg’s Psycholo
 gy and Law: A Historical and Contemporary Assessment (2019). In 2022\, my 
 co-author\, Jonathan Golding\, and I published “Jailhouse Informants: Ps
 ychological and Legal Perspectives\,” addressing how informant testimony
  can impact verdicts and contribute to wrongful convictions. I also served
  as the Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Psychology\, Crime & 
 Law. \nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford\nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford \nI am Dr. K
 aren Dill Shackleford\, a social psychologist who explores how we\, as hum
 ans\, use stories and media to understand ourselves and the world around u
 s. My passion lies in studying how fictional narratives—like TV shows\, 
 books\, and games—help shape our identities\, beliefs\, and sense of bel
 onging. I’m especially interested in fandom\, race and gender representa
 tion\, and the powerful role of media in promoting (or challenging) social
  justice. \nI lead the Entertainment Psychology Lab where we actively enga
 ge in qualitative and quantitative research on  a diversity of topics inc
 luding why we repeatedly watch the same television show and how it feels w
 hen a TV theme song takes us on a nostalgic journey. \nMy PhD is from the 
 University of Missouri-Columbia\, where my dissertation on media violence 
 became one of the most cited in the field. Over the years\, I’ve testifi
 ed before Congress about media violence and misogyny in music\, and I’ve
  collaborated with the APA to help shape national policy on violence in vi
 deo games. (Fun fact: the makers of Grand Theft Auto IV even named a car a

  The workshop concludes by exploring how to leverage earned media to stren
 gthen donor engagement\, increase community awareness\, support board recr
 uitment and engagement\, and enhance your organization’s overall reputat
 ion. A panel of local nonprofit leaders who have successfully generated me
 dia coverage will share their experiences\, practical strategies\, and les
 sons learned\, providing participants with real-world insights they can im
 mediately apply within their own organizations. \nDuring this workshop\, p

 uschatz\nDr. Jeffrey Neuschatz \nI am Dr. Jeffrey S. Neuschatz\, a cogniti
 ve psychologist whose research sits at the intersection of memory\, percep
 tion\, and the law. I hold a BA in Psychology from Roger Williams Universi
 ty\, an MA in General Experimental Psychology from SUNY Cortland\, and a P
 hD in Cognitive Psychology from Binghamton University. Before joining the 
 Applied Psychological Science program at Fielding\, I was a faculty member
  in the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Department of Psychology
 . During my tenure at UAH\, I advanced to become a Distinguished Professor
  and\, in 2022\, received the King-McDonald Eminent Scholars Professorship
  in Psychology. \nI’ve published over 75 peer-reviewed journal articles 
 and book chapters\, including notable authored volumes such as The Psychol
 ogy of Eyewitness Identification (2012) and Hugo Münsterberg’s Psycholo
 gy and Law: A Historical and Contemporary Assessment (2019). In 2022\, my 
 co-author\, Jonathan Golding\, and I published “Jailhouse Informants: Ps
 ychological and Legal Perspectives\,” addressing how informant testimony
  can impact verdicts and contribute to wrongful convictions. I also served
  as the Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Psychology\, Crime & 
 Law. \nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford\nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford \nI am Dr. K
 aren Dill Shackleford\, a social psychologist who explores how we\, as hum
 ans\, use stories and media to understand ourselves and the world around u
 s. My passion lies in studying how fictional narratives—like TV shows\, 
 books\, and games—help shape our identities\, beliefs\, and sense of bel
 onging. I’m especially interested in fandom\, race and gender representa
 tion\, and the powerful role of media in promoting (or challenging) social
  justice. \nI lead the Entertainment Psychology Lab where we actively enga
 ge in qualitative and quantitative research on  a diversity of topics inc
 luding why we repeatedly watch the same television show and how it feels w
 hen a TV theme song takes us on a nostalgic journey. \nMy PhD is from the 
 University of Missouri-Columbia\, where my dissertation on media violence 
 became one of the most cited in the field. Over the years\, I’ve testifi
 ed before Congress about media violence and misogyny in music\, and I’ve
  collaborated with the APA to help shape national policy on violence in vi
 deo games. (Fun fact: the makers of Grand Theft Auto IV even named a car a
 fter me—the “Karin Dilettante”—a cheeky nod to the media effects d
 ebate!)

DESCRIPTION:SBMM is pleased to welcome Conner Philson\, PhD\, Executive Di
 rector of UC Santa Barbara’s Natural Reserve System\, for the October in
 stallment of its Maritime Distinguished Speaker Series. \nPhilson will pre
 sent “Discovery & Education in the Wild at UCSB’s Hidden Gem: The Natu
 ral Reserve System” on Thursday\, October 15\, 2026\, at 7:00 p.m. at th
 e museum. SBMM members are invited to a pre-lecture reception from 6:15–
 6:45 p.m. \nTickets: Free for Navigators Circle members\, $10 for SBMM mem
 bers\, $20 for the general public\, and $5 for students and educators with
  valid school ID or email. For reservations\, visit sbmm.org\, email reser
 vations@sbmm.org\, or call (805) 456-8750. \nRegister Today \nTucked into 
 the hills\, coastlines\, mountains\, and Channel Islands of some of Califo
 rnia’s most distinctive ecosystems\, UC Santa Barbara’s Natural Reserv
 e System is one of the university’s best-kept secrets. The network of se
 ven protected wildlands serves as a living laboratory where scientists\, s
 tudents\, and conservation partners study the natural world and develop ne
 w approaches to understanding and protecting it. \nDuring the presentation
 \, Philson will offer an inside look at the Natural Reserve System—what 
 it is\, how it developed\, and why its protected sites\, research programs
 \, and educational opportunities are increasingly important. \nDrawing fro
 m a portfolio of more than 270 active research projects\, Philson will hig
 hlight discoveries spanning ecology\, evolution\, climate science\, marine
  biology\, and related fields. Topics will include rare species recovery\,
  long-term climate monitoring\, and collaborative research that helps scie
 ntists better understand the ecosystems supporting clean air\, water\, foo
 d\, wildlife\, and human communities. \nThe program will also explore the 
 reserves’ vital role as classrooms without walls. Through field-based\, 
 experiential learning\, students gain direct exposure to ecosystems and sc
 ientific methods in ways that cannot be replicated in a traditional lectur
 e hall. \n“Conner brings a leading perspective on what it means to condu
 ct research and learn in California’s wildest and most distinctive ecosy
 stems\,” said Executive Director of SBMM Dean Noble. “His work directi
 ng the UCSB Natural Reserve System reflects the kind of partnership among 
 science\, education\, and land stewardship that is essential to understand
 ing and conserving the ecosystems on which we all depend.” \nPhilson is 
 driven by advancing discovery and connection in the natural world through 
 protected wild places and field-based science and education. As Executive 
 Director of the Natural Reserve System at UC Santa Barbara\, he oversees a
  network of protected lands and field laboratories supporting research\, t
 eaching\, and conservation across California’s diverse ecosystems. \nHe 
 earned his PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from UCLA\, where he st
 udied the social behavior of wild mammals at field sites around the world.
  Philson also serves as President of the Organization of Biological Field 
 Stations\, a global network of field research laboratories. \nWhether atte
 ndees are longtime Santa Barbara residents\, students\, educators\, or sim
 ply curious about the natural world\, the presentation will offer a deeper
  appreciation for the wild spaces and living laboratories advancing scienc
 e\, education\, and conservation throughout the region. \nEvent Details\nD
 ate: October 15\, 2026\nTime: 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.\nLocation: Santa Bar
 bara Maritime Museum\, 113 Harbor Way\, Santa Barbara\nTickets: Free for N
 avigators Circle members\, $10 for SBMM members\, $20 for the general publ
 ic\, and $5 for students and educators with valid school ID or email.

 1 am – 12:30 pm PT\nEligible for 1.5 Coach Continuing Education Units (1
 .0 Core Competency\, 0.5 Resource Development) \n \nOur world is seeking o
 ut new conceptual\, emotional and relational tools for leading in these un
 certain times. The field of coaching is uniquely positioned to respond.  
 \nCoaching leaders David Drake\, Jonathan Passmore\, Dr. Richard Boyatzis 
 and Terri Lumpberger have made appeals for innovation. At the July 2026 Gr
 aduate School Alliance for Education in Coaching (GSAEC)\, 120 industry ed
 ucators\, researchers and practitioners pushed on coaching’s foundationa
 l assumptions to create space for the emergence of next-generation discove
 ries. \nSocial Therapeutic Coaching (STC) is an evidence-based\, scientifi
 cally grounded method for our times. It is a fusing of several 20th centur
 y discoveries: The breakthrough discoveries of child development by Lev Vy
 gotsky\, the philosophical investigations of language by Ludwig Wittgenste
 in\, the unmooring from the stage of the tools of theater through the inve
 ntion and mainstreaming of improv and the complete break with modern scien
 ce that is quantum physics. \nIt offers a methodological and practical too
 lkit for shifting the coach and client mindset from ‘Me’ to ‘We’\,
  thereby opening new possibilities for how we see\, speak\, listen\, inter
 act and feel.  \nIf you are looking for innovation in coaching method\, j
 oin this overview of a breakthrough approach to personal growth and human 
 development. Carrie Sackett will lead you through the four pillars of Soci
 al Therapeutic Coaching and show you how it can enrich every coaching spec
 ialty.  \nObjectives \nBy the end of this webinar\, you will be able to 
 have a general understanding of the four pillars of Social Therapeutic Coa
 ching: \n\nExperiential introduction to seeing and working with human acti
 vity over content during a coaching session\nOne question that profoundly 
 shifts the coach/client relationship\, encouraging deeper connection and e
 mpowering the client(s) to confidently lead difficult conversations\nBreak
 through understanding of emotions and how to tap both the client’s and c
 oach’s emotional responses to turbocharge personal development and growt
 h\n\nPresenter Bio \nCarrie Sackett\, MS\, PCC\, is a leading global aut
 hority on group work. Recognized as a coaching method innovator and ICF-ac
 credited coach trainer\, her work has been described as paradigm-shifting 
 and a gamechanger. \nShe is the founder of Social Therapeutic Coaching\, a
  group-based and relationship-centered approach to emotional growth\, and 
 the author of one of the few practical books on group coaching with case s
 tudies and applied examples. (See Social Therapeutic Coaching: A Practica
 l Guide to Group and Couples Work\, Routledge 2024). \nCarrie works with i
 ndividuals\, groups\, and organizations to help people break free from lim
 iting inner narratives and build stronger relational skills. With an award
 -winning background in corporate leadership and employee engagement at For
 tune 500 companies\, Carrie now focuses on creating meaningful human conne
 ction and growth. \nShe is a frequent contributor to coaching publications

DESCRIPTION:The global information environment is undergoing a profound tr
 ansformation. News today comes as much from citizen reporting and social m
 edia feeds as from newspapers and journalists. Algorithms amplify false\, 
 misleading\, or emotionally activating content\, leading to echo chambers 
 and increased polarization. \nWhile in theory\, the democratization of inf
 ormation could expand citizens’ knowledge and insight\, in practice\, we
  live in an era of “information disorder” that could upend global poli
 tics. In the Pacific Views Talk for Fall 2026\, Julia Morse (Political Sci
 ence) examines how information disorder is changing conflict and cooperati
 on alongside developments in AI\, and recommends how policymakers might re
 spond to such challenges. \nJulia C. Morse is Associate Professor of Polit
 ical Science at UCSB and the author of The Bankers’ Blacklist (Cornell U
 niversity Press\, 2022). Her research examines international organizations
 \, compliance\, and the politics of information\, including contestation a
 nd disinformation in the AI age. \nShe is currently co-authoring a book Da
 mage Control: Lies\, Evasions\, and the Cost of Breaking International Law
 \, and also serves as a non-resident fellow at the Oxford Martin AI Govern
 ance Initiative\, where she co-directs the AI Upskilling for Social Scient
 ists program. Prior to academia\, Morse worked as an FBI intelligence anal
 yst and a foreign affairs officer at the US Department of State. She is a 
 2025–2026 UCSB Public Voices Fellow. \nMorse will deliver a presentation
  that is approximately 45-minutes\, followed by a Q&A session. \nThis even
 t may be photographed or recorded. \nAdvance registration is recommended a
 s space is limited. \nImage Description: An outdoor portrait of Julia C. M

 uschatz\nDr. Jeffrey Neuschatz \nI am Dr. Jeffrey S. Neuschatz\, a cogniti
 ve psychologist whose research sits at the intersection of memory\, percep
 tion\, and the law. I hold a BA in Psychology from Roger Williams Universi
 ty\, an MA in General Experimental Psychology from SUNY Cortland\, and a P
 hD in Cognitive Psychology from Binghamton University. Before joining the 
 Applied Psychological Science program at Fielding\, I was a faculty member
  in the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Department of Psychology
 . During my tenure at UAH\, I advanced to become a Distinguished Professor
  and\, in 2022\, received the King-McDonald Eminent Scholars Professorship
  in Psychology. \nI’ve published over 75 peer-reviewed journal articles 
 and book chapters\, including notable authored volumes such as The Psychol
 ogy of Eyewitness Identification (2012) and Hugo Münsterberg’s Psycholo
 gy and Law: A Historical and Contemporary Assessment (2019). In 2022\, my 
 co-author\, Jonathan Golding\, and I published “Jailhouse Informants: Ps
 ychological and Legal Perspectives\,” addressing how informant testimony
  can impact verdicts and contribute to wrongful convictions. I also served
  as the Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Psychology\, Crime & 
 Law. \nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford\nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford \nI am Dr. K
 aren Dill Shackleford\, a social psychologist who explores how we\, as hum
 ans\, use stories and media to understand ourselves and the world around u
 s. My passion lies in studying how fictional narratives—like TV shows\, 
 books\, and games—help shape our identities\, beliefs\, and sense of bel
 onging. I’m especially interested in fandom\, race and gender representa
 tion\, and the powerful role of media in promoting (or challenging) social
  justice. \nI lead the Entertainment Psychology Lab where we actively enga
 ge in qualitative and quantitative research on  a diversity of topics inc
 luding why we repeatedly watch the same television show and how it feels w
 hen a TV theme song takes us on a nostalgic journey. \nMy PhD is from the 
 University of Missouri-Columbia\, where my dissertation on media violence 
 became one of the most cited in the field. Over the years\, I’ve testifi
 ed before Congress about media violence and misogyny in music\, and I’ve
  collaborated with the APA to help shape national policy on violence in vi
 deo games. (Fun fact: the makers of Grand Theft Auto IV even named a car a
 fter me—the “Karin Dilettante”—a cheeky nod to the media effects d
 ebate!)

 nta Barbara Foundation\, this workshop is being offered free of charge to 
 staff and board members of nonprofits serving communities in Santa Barbara
  County. \nDescription \nSocial media has become one of the most powerful
 —and cost-effective—tools nonprofits can use to build awareness\, enga
 ge supporters\, and advance their mission. But successful social media isn
 ’t about posting more often\; it’s about posting with purpose. This in
 teractive virtual workshop will help nonprofit leaders develop a strategic
  approach to social media that aligns with organizational priorities\, eng
 ages the right audiences\, and delivers measurable results. Participants w
 ill explore how different social media platforms can support specific obje
 ctives\, from volunteer recruitment and donor cultivation to event promoti
 on\, corporate partnerships\, and talent acquisition. \nParticipants will 
 learn practical strategies for creating compelling content\, building an e
 fficient content calendar\, and using scheduling and analytics tools to ma
 ximize their time and impact. The workshop will also examine the role of o
 rganic versus paid social media\, explore current platform trends and best
  practices\, and demonstrate how social media can be integrated into large
 r fundraising and marketing campaigns. By the end of the session\, attende
 es will have a framework for developing purposeful\, mission-driven social
  media strategies and communicating their results to executive leadership\
 , boards\, funders\, and other key stakeholders. \nLearning outcomes \nIde
 ntification of goals surrounding the utilization of social media marketing
  for your nonprofit (i.e. recruit volunteers\, attract full-time staff\, e
 ngage corporate donors\, cultivate individual donors or promote upcoming f
 undraising events)\nClarity on the use cases for each social media platfor
 m as it relates to the objectives of your nonprofit.\nBest practices in st
 reamlining the development\, editing\, and scheduling of your social media
  content calendar utilizing social media scheduling tools with metrics.\nL
 everaging social media marketing as a component of a larger marketing or d
 evelopment campaign (i.e. collaborations with more highly visible creators
  and utilization of relevant hashtags).\nCommunicating social media impact
  to your Executive Leadership Team\, Board\, corporate donors or individua
 l donors in alignment with your nonprofit fundraising objectives and missi
 on match.\nWho should attend: \nThis course would be valuable for executiv
 e directors\, nonprofit staff responsible for communications & marketing\,

 uschatz\nDr. Jeffrey Neuschatz \nI am Dr. Jeffrey S. Neuschatz\, a cogniti
 ve psychologist whose research sits at the intersection of memory\, percep
 tion\, and the law. I hold a BA in Psychology from Roger Williams Universi
 ty\, an MA in General Experimental Psychology from SUNY Cortland\, and a P
 hD in Cognitive Psychology from Binghamton University. Before joining the 
 Applied Psychological Science program at Fielding\, I was a faculty member
  in the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Department of Psychology
 . During my tenure at UAH\, I advanced to become a Distinguished Professor
  and\, in 2022\, received the King-McDonald Eminent Scholars Professorship
  in Psychology. \nI’ve published over 75 peer-reviewed journal articles 
 and book chapters\, including notable authored volumes such as The Psychol
 ogy of Eyewitness Identification (2012) and Hugo Münsterberg’s Psycholo
 gy and Law: A Historical and Contemporary Assessment (2019). In 2022\, my 
 co-author\, Jonathan Golding\, and I published “Jailhouse Informants: Ps
 ychological and Legal Perspectives\,” addressing how informant testimony
  can impact verdicts and contribute to wrongful convictions. I also served
  as the Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Psychology\, Crime & 
 Law. \nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford\nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford \nI am Dr. K
 aren Dill Shackleford\, a social psychologist who explores how we\, as hum
 ans\, use stories and media to understand ourselves and the world around u
 s. My passion lies in studying how fictional narratives—like TV shows\, 
 books\, and games—help shape our identities\, beliefs\, and sense of bel
 onging. I’m especially interested in fandom\, race and gender representa
 tion\, and the powerful role of media in promoting (or challenging) social
  justice. \nI lead the Entertainment Psychology Lab where we actively enga
 ge in qualitative and quantitative research on  a diversity of topics inc
 luding why we repeatedly watch the same television show and how it feels w
 hen a TV theme song takes us on a nostalgic journey. \nMy PhD is from the 
 University of Missouri-Columbia\, where my dissertation on media violence 
 became one of the most cited in the field. Over the years\, I’ve testifi
 ed before Congress about media violence and misogyny in music\, and I’ve
  collaborated with the APA to help shape national policy on violence in vi
 deo games. (Fun fact: the makers of Grand Theft Auto IV even named a car a
 fter me—the “Karin Dilettante”—a cheeky nod to the media effects d
 ebate!)
