Upcoming Events

"Event flyer for 'Climate Change Hates Mothers,' a talk and discussion hosted by UCLA CSW (Center for the Study of Women) and the Barbra Streisand Center, part of UCLA College Social Sciences. Monday, November 2, 12–1:30 PM, Rolfe Hall Room 2125, lunch provided. An illustration shows a woman with dark curly hair cradling a globe, standing between a barren, cracked desert landscape and a lush green hillside. Event description reads: 'Toxic exposures. Emergency evacuations. Endocrine disruption. Miscarriage. Threats to healthy pregnancies and safe births. Guilt, anxiety, depression, and grief. Climate change poses unique challenges to the health, well-being, and everyday lives of pregnant people, mothers, and those who would like to have children. This talk addresses those challenges - and highlights how birth workers, community organizers, and local elected officials are mobilizing to address maternal marginalization and seek policy.' A photo shows speaker Jade S. Sasser, PhD, smiling outdoors in a colorful patterned top, with trees and mountains in the background. Text identifies her as Professor of Environmental Studies at UC Riverside, with a bio noting she is in the Department of Society, Environment, and Health Equity, earned her PhD in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management from UC Berkeley, and her work explores climate change, maternal health, and reproductive justice through an intersectional lens. Bottom banner reads: 'Free. RSVP required' with link ClimateChangeHatesMothers.eventbrite.com."

Flyer on a deep purple background with a row of orange and pink geometric shapes across the top: clusters of orange circles, a pink four-lobed shape, and a pink four-pointed star. Text reads: "Thinking Gender 2027, Call for Proposals. 'Power and Care in Gendered Migrations.' 37th Annual Graduate Student Research Conference. April 29–30, 2027." Left column: "How are immigrant communities experiencing today's immigration enforcement in gendered ways? From detention and deportation to the everyday care that sustains families living in fear, this conference examines how the state produces gendered precarity, and how communities and engaged researchers respond. We invite graduate students and post-doctoral scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts to share work that informs theory, shapes policy, and empowers communities. Feminist and queer, cross-disciplinary collaborations are especially welcome." Right column, "Questions to Consider": How does attention to care shift our understanding of immigrant agency and power? What can feminist and queer lenses teach us about resisting immigration enforcement? What does ethical, engaged research with immigrant communities require, and how do scholars care for themselves while doing it? Orange footer: A QR code, followed by "Apply Online: csw.ucla.edu/events/thinkinggender" and "Submission deadline: Sunday, October 25, 2026, 11:59 pm PDT." Under "Who Can Apply?": "Graduate students and post-doctoral scholars from any institution."
