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.

Why is it important to respect refugees’ dignity\, and what are best practices for doing so?

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.

SUMMARY:Assembling/Reassembling
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Now Be Here Art\nWhy books NOW? Are books symbolic objects? Have books created political change? What is it that makes artists’ books a unique /compelling art form? Can artists’ books advance social justice for women?

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.

SUMMARY:Gender\, Alterity and Human Rights: Freedom in a Fishbowl
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Promise Institute for Human Rights at UCLA Law\nDate: Friday\, November 13\nTime: 9:00 – 10:00 AM\nLocation: Online/Zoom \nEvent Details | RSVP for Zoom link \nRatna Kapur\, a Professor of International Law at Queen Mary University of London\, will be discussing her book “Gender\, Alterity\, and Human Rights: Freedom in a Fishbowl.” The book is about the possibility of freedom in the aftermath of the critique of human rights. Kapur interrogates human rights as a project of freedom through a critical evaluation and analysis of scholarship and advocacy on LGBT rights\, campaigns against violence against women\, and gender equality interventions in the context of the Islamic veil bans in Europe. Kapur illustrates how human rights emerge as a governance and regulatory endeavour in relation to gender and alterity\, and how more rights for women\, sexual and religious minorities have not necessarily produced more freedom for these constituencies. In response to what happens when the faith in human rights as a liberal freedom project is so substantively eroded\, she provocatively argues in favor of exploring non-liberal approaches to freedom and the futurity of human rights within such a pursuit.

SUMMARY:An Archival Cure: Remedy\, Care\, and Curation of HIV-Positive Artists’ Records with the Visual AIDS Archive Project
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Department of Information Studies \nDate: Thursday\, October 29\, 2020\nTime: 3:00 PM\nLocation: Online/Zoom \nMarika Cifor\, PhD\, is an Assistant Professor in the Information School at the University of Washington. She is a feminist scholar of archival studies and digital studies. Her research investigates how individuals and communities marginalized by gender\, sexuality\, race and ethnicity\, and HIV-status are represented and how they document and represent themselves and their social movements in archives and digital cultures. This multidisciplinary scholarship uncovers how archives and digital technologies\, data\, and cultures are shaping identities\, experiences\, and social movements. \nAIDS activists\, advocacy organizations\, physicians and medical researchers\, and people living with HIV/AIDS have devoted vast energy and resources to finding a medical cure for HIV/AIDS. Now well into the fourth decade of the HIV/AIDS pandemic\, a medical cure remains elusive. Drawing from her book-in-progress\, Viral Cultures: Activist Archives at the End of AIDS\, Marika Cifor examines activist archiving as cure. Since 1994\, Visual AIDS a community-based arts organization has documented\, collected\, preserved\, and made accessible the records of artists living with HIV and estates of artists who have perished\, in order to preserve and honor their legacies\, and to expose and redress AIDS’ injustices. The holistic cure Visual AIDS demands is requisite to responding in kind to an epidemic that is and always has been political and cultural as much as biomedical. In this talk\, Cifor analyzes the Archive Project’s curative efforts and their implications in three parts. First\, examining the archives as a remedy for one kind of death\, that of artistic career. Second\, she turns to AIDS archiving as communal acts of critical care. Finally\, she examines the archives as curing\, preserving digitally to ensure long-term animation. The Archive Project and the Artist+ Registry\, its digital archives counterpart\, highlight the material and conceptual affordances of archiving as anti-AIDS activism. Its records and their nimble activation hold imaginative capacities for challenging persistent gendered\, racialized\, and classed discrimination and stigmatization faced by those living with HIV/AIDS. The archives’ work also demonstrates the conjoined limitations of art and activist archiving in meeting urgent needs and redressing harm. Despite such constraints\, activist archiving can vitally engender survival.

SUMMARY:Beyond Innocence
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Professor Miriam Ticktin\, the New School for Social Research\nDate: Thursday\, October 8\, 2020\nTime: 12:15 PM – 1:45 PM\nLocation: Zoom \nProfessor Ticktin’s talk on Racial Innocence will launch our year-long speakers’ series on Structural Violence. Culture\, Power\, and Social Change is a colloquium series in the Department of Anthropology that is aimed at an interdisciplinary audience of graduate students from a range of departments including anthropology\, gender studies\, sociology\, ethnic studies departments\, world arts and cultures/dance\, ethnomusicology\, urban planning and public policy\, and the School of Medicine. \nThis talk addresses the relationship between innocence and politics; even as innocence is defined against politics\, as freedom from the worldly and unworldly – my argument is that innocence is deployed in politically potent ways . Indeed\, I suggest it has moved to the center of political life today. The larger book of which this is a part investigates how discourses and images of innocence get assembled and weaponized across the fields of immigration\, gender politics\, racial politics and environmentalism. It is a flexible concept that intimately shapes why and how we should care\, for whom\, and whose lives matter. I will focus on innocence as a racialized tool that is central to border regimes—I will discuss both European and American borders — producing the difference between deserving and undeserving\, refugee and economic migrant\, and ultimately functioning to redraw understandings of “humanity” and its constituent outsides. \nProfessor Miriam Ticktin has served as Director of Gender Studies\, Chair of Anthropology\, and Co-Director of the Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility at the New School. Her work sits at the intersection of the race and immigration studies\, anthropology of medicine\, and transnational and postcolonial feminist theory. \nCo-Sponsored by\n\nCenter for the Study of Women\nCenter for European and Russian Studies

SUMMARY:Once More\, With Feeling... (New Wight Biennial 2020)
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Department of Art\nDate: Tuesday\, October 1\, 2020\nTime: 9:00 AM\nLocation: Online Exhibition\, on display Oct 1.-Oct. 31 \nGallery Website \nThe exhibition focuses on the contemporary resonances of the Non-Aligned Movement. We were interested in asking how Race\, Gender\, Sexuality\, and Empire throughout the third world impact contemporary art globally by engaging with how the political project of Non-Alignment finds itself articulated in the aesthetic\, formal\, social\, economic\, and political articulations of contemporary art today. The question that arises is\, why deal with this movement today\, or better\, why have the ideas and concepts of this movement seen such a resurgence\, and with such prominence in art in the past few years? \nThe exhibition will “open” (the website will become live & accessible) on October 1st. The website will display the work (sculpture\, video\, performance\, painting) of the 24 participating artists and will be complemented by programming. There will be 4 different panel discussions each centered around a different theme related to Non-Alignment. There will also be a feminist manifesto writing workshop that will meet 3 times throughout October in order to bring together a manifesto for the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Explore "The Chinese Atlantic: Seascapes and the Theatricality of Globalization" and talk with author Sean Metzger
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Asian American Studies Center\nZoom talk with author Sean Metzger and CSW Director Rachel Lee\nIn The Chinese Atlantic\, Sean Metzger charts processes of global circulation across and beyond the Atlantic\, exploring how seascapes generate new understandings of Chinese migration\, financial networks and artistic production. Moving across film\, painting\, performance\, and installation art\, Metzger traces flows of money\, culture\, and aesthetics to reveal the ways in which routes of commerce stretching back to the Dutch Golden Age have molded and continue to influence the social reproduction of Chineseness. With a particular focus on the Caribbean\, Metzger investigates the expressive culture of Chinese migrants and the communities that received these waves of people. He interrogates central issues in the study of similar case studies from South Africa and England to demonstrate how Chinese Atlantic seascapes frame globalization as we experience it today. Frequently focusing on art that interacts directly with the sites in which it is located\, Metzger explores how Chinese migrant laborers and entrepreneurs did the same to shape— both physically and culturally—the new spaces in which they found themselves. In this manner\, Metzger encourages us to see how artistic imagination and practice interact with migration to produce a new way of framing the global. \nDATE: Thursday\, May 28\, 2020\nTIME: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM\nLOCATION: Webinar (RSVP through EventBrite for webinar link) \nSean Metzger is the Vice Chair\, Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Theater. He is a scholar who works at the intersections of several fields: visual culture (art\, fashion\, film\, theater) as well as Asian American\, Caribbean\, Chinese\, film\, performance and sexuality studies. His new book is titled: The Chinese Atlantic: Seascapes and the Theatricality of Globalization (Indiana University Press\, 2020) the text complicates discourses of globalization and reimagines geographies through an examination of aesthetic objects and practices situated in cities from Shanghai to Cape Town. \nRachel Lee is Director of the Center for the Study of Women and Professor of Gender Studies\, English\, and the Institute of Society and Genetics at UCLA.  She is the author of The Exquisite Corpse of Asian America: Biopolitics\, Biosociality\, and Posthuman Ecologies (NYU\, 2014) and editor of a newly published special issue of Catalyst: Feminism\, Theory\, Technoscience (May 2020) on Chemical Entanglements: Gender and Exposure\, the introduction of which highlights the work of Hong Kong and Brooklyn-based glassmaker and artist\, Jes Fan. \nCo-sponsored by:\n\n Department of Theater\nDepartment of Film\, Television\, and Digital Media\nAsia Pacific Center\nAsian American Studies Department
