SUMMARY:Permanence and Decay
DESCRIPTION:Organized by The Graduate Students Association in the Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies\nDate: May 23 and May 24\, 2022\nTime: 9:00 AM-3:30 PM (PST)\nLocation: Royce Hall 306 and 314 \nREGISTER ONLINE \nCONFERENCE WEBSITE \nTensions between permanence and decay are constitutive features of European culture. Periods during which cultural and political conventions appeared as though they would endure have alternated with periods of crisis and widespread instability. 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: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.

SUMMARY:Imagining the Political: Vernacular Idioms of Sexuality in India
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Department of Asian American Studies and the UCLA Asian American Studies Center\nDate: Tuesday\, March 2\, 2021\nTime: 6:00 – 7:15 PM\nLocation: Online/Zoom (RSVP) \nProfessor Navaneetha Mokkil will discuss her new book\, Unruly Figures\, which navigates the pulsating links between subjectivity\, political activism and the world-making capacity of cultural practices in a non-metropolitan region in India. It focuses on the non-linear figurations of the sex worker and the lesbian in Kerala\, a state in Southern India\, and the fractured processes of staging the politics of sexuality. The book moves back and forth from the post-1990s to the pre-1990s interlinking different forms\, texts\, genres and events in order to show how sexual subjects are not finished portraits\, nor silenced bodies eager to claim visibility and recognition. Rather\, the transactions between the subject and the figure point to the breaks in the conception of a cohesive\, visible and agential political actor. \nNavaneetha Mokkil teaches at the Center for Women’s Studies\, Jawaharlal Nehru University\, Delhi. She is currently Charles Wallace India Trust Fellow at the University of Edinburgh.

SUMMARY:The Feminist War on Crime: The Unexpected Role of Women’s Liberation in Mass Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Critical Race Studies at UCLA School of Law\nDATE: Tuesday\, March 2\, 2021 \nTIME: 12:15 PM – 1:30 PM \nLOCATION: Online/Zoom \nEvent Details | RSVP for Zoom link \nAya Gruber\, author and Professor of Law at the University of Colorado Law School\, and Jennifer M. Chacón\, Professor of Law and CRS core faculty member at UCLA Law School\, will be discussing Gruber’s new book\, The Feminist War on Crime: The Unexpected Role of Women’s Liberation in Mass Incarceration. \nAbout the book: Many feminists grapple with the problem of hyper-incarceration in the United States\, yet commentators on gender crime continue to assert that criminal law is not tough enough. This punitive impulse\, prominent legal scholar Aya Gruber argues\, is dangerous and counterproductive. In their quest to secure women’s protection from domestic violence and rape\, American feminists have become soldiers in the war on crime by emphasizing white female victimhood\, expanding the power of police and prosecutors\, touting the problem-solving power of incarceration\, and diverting resources toward law enforcement and away from marginalized communities. Deploying vivid cases and unflinching analysis\, Gruber documents the failure of the state to combat sexual and domestic violence through law and punishment. Zero-tolerance anti-violence law and policy tend to make women less safe and more fragile. Mandatory arrests\, no-drop prosecutions\, forced separation\, and incarceration embroil poor women of color in a criminal justice system that is historically hostile to them. This carceral approach exacerbates social inequalities by diverting more power and resources toward a fundamentally flawed criminal justice system\, further harming victims\, perpetrators\, and communities alike. In order to reverse this troubling course\, Gruber contends that we must abandon the conventional feminist wisdom\, fight violence against women without reinforcing the American prison state\, and use criminalization as a technique of last—not first—resort.
