SUMMARY:We're Alive: Film Screening and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. \nSign up to receive updates from the UCLA Center for the Study of Women | Barbra Streisand Center. \nAdmission is free.\nFree tickets must be obtained on a first come\, first served basis at the box office\, where seating will be assigned. \nIn-person: Filmmakers Michie Gleason\, Christine Lesiak\, Kathy Levitt; May Hong HaDuong\, director\, UCLA Film & Television Archive; Grace Hong\, CSW | Streisand Center Director; Colby Lenz\, CSW | Streisand Center Deputy Director of Policy and Community Research; members of the California Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP)\, Romarilyn Ralston and Susan Bustamante. \nRestoration World Premiere of We’re Alive (1974).\nMichie Gleason\, Christine Lesiak and Kathy Levitt\, graduate students at UCLA in 1974\, made the documentary We’re Alive as part of a class assignment focused on community engagement. Driven by their activism and an interest in the experiences of incarcerated women\, the filmmakers designed and led a Portapack video workshop at the California Institution for Women (CIW) in Chino\, at the time the largest women’s prison in the United States. \nGleason\, Lesiak and Levitt wanted their mark as filmmakers to be unnoticeable: collaborating with incarcerated people\, whose participation was voluntary\, in order to give the community an opportunity to speak for themselves about the individual and collective experiences. The participants\, taught how to use the equipment\, videotaped portions of the roundtable interviews and group talk. The film balances anonymity with intimacy as the participants\, who speak in detail and are never identified by name\, report candidly on the complexities of life inside the carceral institution while describing the set of challenges and fears they will face when released. Capturing the consciousness-raising style of dialogue that defined feminist discourse in the 1970s\, the women share an acute perspective on prison abolition informed by experiences of gendered and racialized discrimination and economic disenfranchisement\, the effects of drug addiction\, and the parole board’s abuse of power. Several participants recognize the camaraderie—political\, platonic and romantic—that they have experienced in prison. \nThe Archive learned about the documentary around 2016 when requests for the film—whose sparse credits mention UCLA but none of the individuals involved—started filtering into the Archive Research and Study Center. The British Film Institute generously shared its 16mm prints of the film that the Archive scanned for research access. Media scholars Beth Capper and Rox Samer have given context to the documentary\, but its complete production history remained largely unknown until Levitt\, while attending the 2022 UCLA Festival of Preservation\, introduced herself to Archive staff and mentioned the film she co-produced as a UCLA student. At last\, this powerful\, and once orphaned\, film has returned to UCLA and with it the strong\, clear voices of incarcerated women telling their stories of being alive. \nFollowing the film\, the filmmakers of We’re Alive will join moderator Colby Lenz\, CSW | Streisand Center Deputy Director of Policy and Community Research\, and members of the California Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP)\, Romarilyn Ralston and Susan Bustamante\, who experienced incarceration at CIW. \nDCP\, b&w/color\, 49 min. Directors: Michie Gleason\, Christine Lesiak\, Kathy Levitt and the women prisoners of the California Institution for Women. Credited as “The Video Workshop of the California Institution for Women and the Women’s Film Workshop of the University of California\, Los Angeles.” \nDigitally restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Funding provided by the Columbia Motion Picture Research Fund. Laboratory services provided by illuminate Studios and Endpoint Audio Labs. Special thanks to Michie Gleason\, Kathy Levitt\, Chris Mohana\, and the British Film Institute. \n \nSpecial thanks to our community partners: California Coalition for Women Prisoners\, UCLA School of Theater\, Film and Television.

SUMMARY:Death and Dying in Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Department of Asian American Studies\nDate: Tuesday\, November 8\, 2022\nTime: 4:00-6:30 PM\nLocation: 10383 Bunche Hall \nREGISTRATION REQUIRED \n \nIn his new book Filipino Time: Affective Worlds and Contracted Labor\, Allan Isaac examines how contracted service labor performed by Filipinos in the Philippines\, Europe\, the Middle East\, and the United States generates vital affects\, multiple networks\, and other life-worlds as much as it disrupts and dislocates human relations. Affective labor and time are re-articulated in a capacious archive of storytelling about the Filipino labor diaspora in fiction\, musical performance\, ethnography\, and documentary film. Exploring these cultural practices\, Filipino Time traces other ways of sensing\, making sense of\, and feeling time with others\, by weaving narratives of place and belonging out of the hostile but habitable textures of labor-time. \nSignaling his current research project in this talk\, Isaac explores live-streamed funeral vigils\, a technological practice made necessary by Filipino diasporic life\, to highlight two Tagalog concept-words that map other ways to generate ecologies of communality: pakiramdam (literally\, to make oneself felt\, or to feel a presence)\, affective engagement without immediate proximity; andkapiling\, to be in someone’s proximity or vicinity without interaction between two parties. Migrant subjects harness time and the imagination in their creative\, life-making capacities to make communal worlds out of one steeped in the temporalities and logics of capital. \nAllan Punzalan Isaac is Professor of American Studies and English and Associate Humanities Dean at Rutgers University-New Brunswick\, NJ. He specializes in Asian American and comparative race studies and examines issues around migration\, postcoloniality\, gender and sexuality\, and the Philippines and its diaspora. His first book American Tropics: Articulating Filipino America was the recipient of the Association for Asian American Studies Cultural Studies Book Award. His second book is entitled\, Filipino Time: Affective Worlds and Contracted Labor. He taught at DeLaSalle University-Taft in Manila\, Philippines as a Senior Fulbright Scholar. His current research focuses on death and dying in the Filipino diaspora.

SUMMARY:Elemental Cartographies in an Era of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Department of English and the Department of Gender Studies\nDate: Tuesday\, November 8\, 2022\nTime: 3:30-6:00 PM\nLocation: Charles E. Young Research Library Presentation Room 11348 \nAs we bear witness to the wastelanding of the earth by late liberal capital\, Kānaka Maoli are recovering ancestral knowledges encoded in oli (chants) and moʻolelo (storied history) to activate the elements and transform the effects of global climate change into possibilities for renewed abundance. \nIn this talk\, Candace Fujikane begins with arguments from her recent book\, Mapping Abundance for a Planetary Future: Kanaka Maoli and Critical Settler Cartographies in Hawaiʻi\, contending that global climate change events are not apocalyptic but rather are bringing about the demise of capitalist economies of scarcity\, making way for Indigenous economies of abundance. She will present a preview of her new book\, Elemental Cartographies for a Changing Earth. Kanaka Maoli identify 400\,000 akua or elemental forms and energies\, including the 300 winds of the island of Kanaloa Kahoʻolawe. From 1941 to 1990\, the US Navy used the island as a bombing target\, with the devastating effect of cracking the water table. In the exhausted cartographies of militarized capital\, only 9% of subsurface lands has been cleared of unexploded ordnance. The PKO practitioners\, however\, have long stood to protect the island\, transforming the symbol of the target into a much more generative image of the piko\, the umbilicus that enables the people to be pili (connected) to the akua\, the kūpuna (ancestors)\, and to the pulapula (the seedling descendants to come). Ancestral archives of elemental cartographies map the winds of Kanaloa Kahoʻolawe\, enabling the greening of the island to attract and birth clouds and to manifest decolonial and abolitionist futures. \nElemental Cartographies in an Era of Climate Change looks at the relationships between the elements (lands\, seas\, skies\, clouds\, ocean currents\, wind currents) and between humans and elements as they take place in land struggles and restoration projects on Maui (making kapa for ancestral remains they are finding at a development project)\, Kahoʻolawe (greening of the island to create microclimates in the 30 years since bombing of the island by the military was halted)\, Kahuku on Oʻahu (fight against wind turbines sited too closely to Pacific Islander homes). Fujikana uses a feminist\, indigenous studies\, and critical settler-colonial lens to connect the survival of Pacific Islanders and their concepts of land and water to the realms of reproduction and social reproduction–hallmark concerns of feminist research. \nCandace Fujikane is professor of English at the University of Hawai’i. She co-edited with Jonathan Okamura Asian Settler Colonialism: From Local Governance to the Habits of Everyday Life in Hawai’i (2008). She has recently published Mapping Abundance for a Planetary Future: Kanaka Maoli and Critical Settler Cartographies in Hawaiʻi (2021). She is a Japanese settler ally who stands for lands and waters in Hawaiʻi and for Hawaiian political independence.

SUMMARY:Writing Health Through Black Feminist Theory
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Department of African American Studies and the Collaboratory for Black Feminist Health and Healing\nDate: Monday\, October 24\, 2022\nTime: 3:00-5:00 PM\nLocation: Hershey Hall Grand Salon Rm. 158 and Online/Zoom  \n  \nNatali Valdez\, Assistant Professor\, Anthropology\, Purdue University\, will be speaking about her recent book: Weighing the Future: Race\, Science\, and Pregnancy Trials in the Postgenomic Era\, (University of California Press\, 2022). Valdez is a medical anthropologist and science and technology scholar who studies how race\, gender\, and power are enveloped into scientific knowledge production. She draws from Black feminism and postcolonial feminist science studies to critically examine epigenetic and postgenomic conceptions of ‘the environment’ in biosocial reproduction. This book is the first ethnography of ongoing pregnancy trials in the United States and United Kingdom.

SUMMARY:Caring is Connecting: The Extractive Logics of AI Voice Assistants in the Home
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Center for Critical Internet Inquiry and the UCLA School of Education & Information Studies\nDate: Thursday\, October 6\, 2022\nTime: 3:00 PM\nLocation: GSE&IS Room 111\nReception and refreshments to follow in the IS Salon.  \n \n“More peace of mind as your loved ones need more care.” This tag line appears in large\, bolded letters on Amazon’s website advertising their service\, Alexa Together. Described as a “new way to provide support for your loved ones\, keeping you together even when you’re apart\,” this “caregiving service” requires a subscription and an Amazon Echo device to facilitate the remote support of elderly family members\, including control of household devices and increased surveillance opportunities. Using Alexa Together as one example\, I consider how the frame of caregiving may be leveraged to “smooth” people’s concerns about privacy and data gathering in voice assistants\, and justify intensified surveillance for elder adults and disabled family members as a function of market segmentation. This talk will explore\n“caring” as a discursive frame for AI voice assistants that creates targeted opportunities for data extraction in the home\, further entangling intimate activities within the home with the big data assemblages that AI urbanism relies on for algorithmic decision making in urban living and governance. \nQuestions?

There can be many interpretations of permanence and decay: they can refer to the physical nature of artifacts or materials and their durability\, but also to the cyclical nature of thought (as the ideological crises in present-day Europe have brought to the fore)\, as well as to the unstable nature of social\, interpersonal\, and political frameworks (as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic shows us). The conference asks how changing (or unshakeable) beliefs on sexuality\, gender\, birth\, death\, memory\, and truth have influenced each other and shaped European culture\, literature\, and politics.

SUMMARY:Naming\, Understanding\, and Playing with Metaphors in Music
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Practice-Based Experimental Epistemology Research (PEER) Lab\nDATE: Friday\, April 29-Saturday\, April 30\nTIME: Begins 9:00 AM (Friday\, April 29)\nLOCATION: Zoom (registration required) \nCALL FOR PAPERS\nREGISTER TO ATTEND \nIf music and sound are “thick events” that exceed our ability to grasp them fully (see Eidsheim 2015)\, what resources do we have to make (at least) partial sense of them? In a two-day symposium\, we aim to spark a conversation exploring how metaphorical language works as one of these resources\, examining how it shapes the ways in which we perceive and understand not only music\, but one another and the world. \nThis symposium seeks to promote a conversation that maps the networks of metaphors that structure musical discourse while tracing their repercussions – musicological\, social\, and political. There are eight confirmed keynote speakers and over twenty presenters on themes having to do with metaphor and race\, ethnicity\, nation\, gender\, sexuality\, body\, and disability. The ultimate aim of this symposium is to shift the power balance in terms of who gets to name\, whose experiences and practices are recognized\, which relationships we have the capacity to note\, and what kinds of worlds we can create. \nKeynote Speakers:\nJessica Bissett Perea\, Dena’ina (Native American Studies\, UC Davis)Philip Ewell (Music Theory\, Hunter College\, CUNY)J. Martin Daughtry (Music\, NYU)Nicholas Harkness (Anthropology\, Harvard University)Dorinne Kondo (American Studies and Ethnicity and Anthropology\, USC)Dylan Robinson\, xwélméxw/Stó:lō/Skwah (Cultural Studies Graduate Program\, Queen’s University)Holly Watkins (Musicology\, Eastman School of Music)Shana Redmond (English and Comparative Literature\, Columbia University)

SUMMARY:We Were There: The Third World Women's Alliance and the Second Wave
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Department of Gender Studies\nBook Talk With Dr. Patricia Romney in conversation with Dr. Maylei Blackwell\nDATE: Tuesday\, March 8\, 2022\nTIME: 3:00 PM (PST)\nLOCATION: Virtual/Zoom (Registration Required) \nREGISTER ONLINE \nEVENT FLYER \nDr. Romney’s new book documents how the Alliance shaped and defined second wave feminism. From 1970 to 1980\, the Alliance lived the dream of third world feminism. The small bicoastal organization was one of the earliest groups advocating for what came to be known as intersectional activism\, arguing that women of color faced a “triple jeopardy” of race\, gender\, and class oppression. Widely recognized as the era’s primary voice for women of color\, this alliance across ethnic and racial identities was unique then and now.

SUMMARY:Describing LGBT and Gay Rights: A Longitudinal Analysis of Pro- And Anti-Gay Rights Groups’ Online Messages in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Asia Pacific Center\nDate: Thursday\, March 3\, 2022\nTime: 5:00 PM (PST)\nLocation: Online/Zoom \nREGISTER ONLINE \nTaiwan has become the first Asian country to legalize same-sex spousal rights with the passage of a special law in May 2019. The legalization of same-sex relationships in Taiwan is a highly-contested process\, with pro-and anti-gay rights groups competing with one another to win legitimacy over how even the idea of gay rights should be interpreted. To better understand the different discursive tools deployed by pro- and anti-gay rights activists between November 2013 and March 2020\, I adopt a thematic content analysis approach to generate a codebook and apply it to a corpus that includes Facebook public posts of the pro-gay rights group and anti-gay rights group with the largest number of followers\, respectively. The findings suggest that the pro-gay rights group is more likely to mention frames of anti-discrimination\, equality\, liberty\, and identity-building while their anti-gay rights counterpart relies heavily on frames of morality\, public interests\, democracy\, and anti-elitism. Furthermore\, the pro-and anti-gay rights activists have adopted specific localized framing elements to construct their policy messages\, including “Taiwan-China comparison\,” “indigenous people\,” and “ancestor veneration.” By treating framing as a dynamic process that changes over time\, it becomes possible to observe that activists’ framing patterns have changed in response to policy outcomes\, elite behavior\, and interaction with rival activists. \nShih-chan Dai studies the development of LGBTQ rights in East Asian countries as well as examines how digital technology has reshaped the way politics and activism work nowadays. His research is situated at the intersection of political communication\, social movements\, and LGBTQ politics. He received his PhD in political science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. During his postdoc at UCLA\, Shih-chan Dai is revising his dissertation into different journal articles and working on research topics related to gay rights in East Asia. \nThis event is part of the Asia Pacific Center’s UCLA Taiwan in the World lecture series. The Taiwan in the World lecture series aims to promote and disseminate knowledge about Taiwan’s society\, political system\, social structure\, and institutions in a global context\, and shed light on Taiwan’s political economy\, international relations\, and US-Taiwan-China relations. This series is organized by Taiwan in the World postdoctoral fellow Shih-chan Dai and supported with funding by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles. This lecture is cosponsored by the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, LGBTQ Campus Resource Center\, and Office of Equity\, Diversity & Inclusion.

SUMMARY:'We are not part of your family': Domestic Workers and the International Struggle for Labor Rights and Recognition
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the International Development Studies (International Institute)\nDate: Thursday\, February 17\, 2022\nTime: 2:00 – 3:15 PM (PST)\nLocation: Online/Zoom (registration required) \nREGISTER ONLINE \nEVENT FLYER \nThis lecture will focus on how Latin American Domestic Workers\, through their membership in the International Domestic Workers Federation\, have led the global movement to advance domestic workers’ rights. In particular\, it will share insights about how domestic workers have used grassroots organizing\, strategic alliance building\, and transnational solidarity to secure and enforce one of the most historic victories for domestic workers: C189\, the Domestic Workers Convention of the International Labor Organisation. \nAdriana Paz Ramirez is a labor rights organizer and popular educator based in Mexico and Canada. Originally from Bolivia\, she is the regional coordinator for the Americas for the International Domestic Workers Federation. Prior to that\, she was the senior organizer for the Workers’ Action Centre in Toronto and the gender\, equity\, and women’s empowerment officer at the Solidarity Center in Mexico. She was also the manager of the International Development certificate program for the University of British Columbia\, and co-founder of Justicia for Migrant Workers in British Columbia\, a national grassroots organization advocating for the labor and immigration rights of migrant farm workers. Currently\, Adriana holds an Open Society Fellowship in which she will identify how the strengths of grassroots organizing can be leveraged to tackle the challenges of policy enforcement and implementation\, based on the successes of the Latin American domestic workers movement.

SUMMARY:Taiwan for Her: Gender (In)Equality in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Asia Pacific Center\nDate: Wednesday\, January 19\, 2022\nTime: 5:00 PM (PST)\nLocation: Online/Zoom (Registration Required) \nWhat are the countries that come to mind when you think of gender equality? Most people would be very likely to mention Nordic countries. To many people’s surprise\, Taiwan has progressed tremendously in narrowing the gender gap\, especially when compared to other Asian countries. Current President Tsai Ing-wen was elected as the first female leader in Taiwan in 2016 and won reelection in 2020. The share of seats in parliament held by women is about 40% in Taiwan\, which is roughly equal to Denmark and higher than the U.S. (27%). However\, despite these advances in women’s political participation\, it is unclear to what extent the increase in female representation has translated into improvements in women’s social and economic status in Taiwan. Therefore\, we invite Director and Associate Professor Weiting Wu in Graduate Institute for Gender Studies at Shih Hsin University to discuss the following topics: what Taiwan has achieved in gender equality and marriage equality; what factors explain Taiwan’s progress; furthermore\, what challenges and difficulties women in Taiwan still face from an intersectional perspective. \nWeiting Wu is an associate professor and the director of the Graduate Institute for Gender Studies at Shih Hsin University. She received her Ph.D. from the Department of Political Science at City University of New York. Her research areas are social movement\, gender politics\, and state-society relations. \nThis event is part of the Asia Pacific Center’s Taiwan in the World lecture series.\nThe UCLA Taiwan in the World lecture series aims to promote and disseminate knowledge about Taiwan’s society\, political system\, social structure\, and institutions in a global context\, and shed light on Taiwan’s political economy\, international relations\, and US-Taiwan-China relations. This series is organized by Taiwan in the World postdoctoral fellow Shih-chan Dai and supported with funding by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles. This lecture is cosponsored by the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, LGBTQ Campus Resource Center\, and Office of Equity\, Diversity & Inclusion.

SUMMARY:Sewing Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Sewing Intimacies\n \nOrganized by the American Indian Studies Center\nDATE: Tuesday\, November 30\, 2021\nTIME: 1 PM\nLOCATION: Virtual/Zoom (REGISTRATION REQUIRED) \nThis webinar showcases the work of the Sewing Intimacies Project – a project encompassing a group of Dakota and Lakota women who collectively embarked on a journey to create jingle dresses this past summer. In the wake of COVID-19 and the ongoing violence from the settler state\, the jingle dress has continued to serve as a catalyst toward healing and resistance for Native communities across Indian country. Though the dress originates with the Ojibwe people\, the power it garners to bring communities together to overcome trauma is palpable. In this webinar\, members of the Sewing Intimacies group will come together to discuss their experiences making the dress and the elements of healing and community-building that are facilitated in the process of crafting. Using a native-feminist framework grounded in theories of Oceti Šakowin relationality\, this project asks how crafting serves as a conduit to cultivating community-based resistance in spite of the violences enacted by settler colonialism. As a virtual participation-observation project this event will also discuss the methodological implications of the project as it takes place under the conditions of pandemic. \nParticipants: \n\nDr. Mishuana Goeman\, Project Advisor\nJessica Fremland (Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota)\, PhD Student – Gender Studies\nNancy Bordeaux (Sicangu Lakota)\, Sewing Intimacies Group Facilitator\nClementine Bordeaux (Oglala/Sicangu Lakota)\, PhD Candidate – Worlds Arts and Cultures\n\n\nThe Auntie Sewing Squad\nOrganized by the Asian American Studies Department\nDATE: POSTPONED TO WINTER 2022 (DATE TBD)\nTIME: 3:30 PM\nLOCATION: Virtual/Zoom \nJoin us for this event celebrating the Auntie Sewing Squad\, a massive mutual-aid network of volunteers who have been providing free masks in the wake of US government failures during the COVID-19 pandemic. \nFeaturing: \nAsian American Studies MA and Gender Studies PhD alum Preeti Sharma and co-editors Mai-Linh Hong and Chrissy Yau\, discussing their recently released book The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask-Making\, Radical Care\, and Racial Justice (UC Press). \nScreening of “Auntie Kristina\,” a short film about the Auntie Sewing Squad and a discussion with the filmmaker\, Asian American Studies MA alum Hannah Joo.

DESCRIPTION:Organized by the International Institute and the Asian American Studies Department\nDATE: Monday\, November 22\, 2021\nTIME: 9:30-10:45 AM\nLOCATION: Virtual/Zoom (REGISTRATION REQUIRED) \nFLYER \nWhat is it like to be a refugee? What is the role of narrative in determining who is considered a refugee and who gets labeled an economic migrant? Why is it important to respect refugees’ dignity\, and what are best practices for doing so? These are questions that Dina Nayeri explores in her award-winning book of creative nonfiction\, The Ungrateful Refugee (2019). This book interweaves Nayeri’s experiences as a child refugee from Iran with her advocacy for contemporary refugees. During this event\, Nayeri will engage in conversation with Dr. Evyn Lê Espiritu Gandhi about her book and how it continues to resonate in the current moment of mass forced displacement from Afghanistan\, Haiti\, Syria\, and Central America\, to name just a few. This event kicks off the UCLA International Institute’s year-long series\, “Global Racial Justice and the Everyday Politics of Crisis and Hope\,” continuing conversations inspired by the Movement for Black Lives and the long history of interconnected struggles for racial justice in the context of global histories of colonialism\, imperialism and internationalism. \nDina Nayeri is the author of two novels and a book of creative nonfiction\, The Ungrateful Refugee (2019)\, winner of the Geschwister Scholl Preis and finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize\, the Kirkus Prize\, and Elle Grand Prix des Lectrices\, and called by The Guardian “a work of astonishing\, insistent importance.” Her essay of the same name was one of The Guardian’s most widely read long reads in 2017\, and is taught in schools and anthologized around the world. A 2019-2020 Fellow at the Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination in Paris\, and winner of the 2018 UNESCO City of Literature Paul Engle Prize\, Nayeri has won a National Endowment for the Arts literature grant\, the O. Henry Prize\, and Best American Short Stories\, among other honors.
