SUMMARY:Women as Writers of Heroic Poetry in Renaissance Italy: An Epic Micro-tradition?
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Department of Italian\n“Women as Writers of Heroic Poetry in Renaissance Italy: An Epic Micro-tradition?” explores all facets of heroic poetry as written by Italian Renaissance women. Moreover\, this conference aims to spotlight their heroic poems and place them in an tradition that has for the most part ignored their work. We are also interested in the ways these women authors handle specific conventions of the genre such as the difference between the romance and epic modes\, the engagement with literary predecessors\, and the representation of traditional female characters like the woman-warrior or the enchantress. \nDate: Friday\, April 5\, 2019\nTime: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm\nLocation: Royce Hall 314 and 306 \nSpeakers include: Julia Hairston (UCEAP Rome)\, Julia Kisacky (Baylor University)\, Laura Lazzari (Catholic University of America)\, Serena Pezzini (Scuola normale superiore di Pisa)\, Meredith Ray (University of Delaware) \, Maria Galli Stampino (University of Miami)\, Christine Ristaino (Emory University)\, and Gerry Milligan (CUNY- Stanton Island). \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nCenter for the Study of Women\nCenter for Medieval and Renaissance Studies

SUMMARY:Wayward Lives\, Beautiful Experiments: Saidiya Hartman in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the UCLA Department of Gender Studies \nSaidiya Hartman will discuss her book\, Wayward Lives\, Beautiful Experiments\, which explores the ways young black women created forms of intimacy and kinship indifferent to the dictates of respectability\, and outside the bounds of law. They refused to labor like slaves or to accept degrading conditions of work. Hartman narrates the story of this radical transformation of black intimate and social life\, crediting young black women with shaping a cultural movement that transformed the urban landscape. Combining historical analysis and literary imagination\, Hartman recovers radical aspirations and resurgent desires. She will read from the book and will also be in conversation with UCLA faculty\, to be followed by an open discussion. \nAbout the Speaker\nSaidiya Hartman – Professor of English and Comparative Literature\, Columbia University. Saidiya Hartman is a professor at Columbia University specializing in African-American literature and history. She grew up in Brooklyn and received her B.A. from Wesleyan University and Ph.D. from Yale University. \nDate: Wednesday\, March 13\, 2019 \nTime: 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm \nLocation: Perloff Hall DeCafe \nRSVP Required: https://waywardlivesucla.eventbrite.com/ \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nUCLA Bunche Center\nUCLA Department of African American Studies\nUCLA Department of English\nUCLA Social Sciences Division

SUMMARY:Alternative Narratives in Israeli Art: Gender\, Identity and Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Image: New Victims by Zoya Cherkassky \nOrganized by the UCLA Y&S Nazarian Center for Israel Studies\nThe tremendous diversity of Israeli society\, comprised of Jews from around the world\, Palestinian Arabs and Druze (among others) with differing national ties\, religious beliefs and cultural mores\, leads to a complex nexus of overlapping and often conflicting affiliations and identities. \nIn this symposium\, art scholars and artists will examine various works of contemporary Israeli art to understand the multiple identities and varieties of experience – Jewish\, Palestinian\, immigrant\, female\, male\, LGBTQ – which are unique to Israel and also\, in many ways\, universal. The artists will discuss how their artwork reflects personal narratives regarding national\, ethnic and gender identity\, and dynamics of inclusion-exclusion. \nAbout the Speakers\nRaida Adon – Born in Akko in northern Israel to a Jewish father and a Muslim mother\, Adon’s artworks emerge from her complex biography\, addressing conflicted nations and the relationship between two interrelated societies. The image of the woman is a recurring motif in her work\, as a metaphor for the post-1948 geographic space of Israel/Palestine and reflecting the artist’s own quest for rootedness\, while alluding to many refugee crises. Adon is a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. She has shown work and performances at museums as well as theatre festivals around the world. \nGannit Ankori – Prof. Ankori of Brandeis University is an internationally-recognized art historian who has published widely on contemporary art from a global perspective\, with emphasis on issues pertaining to gender\, national identity\, religion\, trauma\, exile\, hybridity and their manifestations in the creative arts. She is the author of Palestinian Art (Reaktion Books\, London\, 2006) and has curated numerous exhibitions on Israeli and Palestinian art. She is also internationally renowned for her books\, articles\, and exhibitions on the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. \nZoya Cherkassky – Acclaimed Israeli artist Zoya Cherkassky was born in Kiev in 1976 and immigrated with her family to Israel in 1991. Her paintings address her personal experiences and the collective experience the million-strong Russian immigrant influx to Israel – often marked by unflattering stereotypes – and her conflicted Jewish identity. Cherkassky’s work has been shown at major museums and institutions worldwide\, including the Israel Museum; Tel Aviv Museum of Art; Martin Gropius Bau\, Berlin; and MARS Center for Contemporary Arts\, Moscow. \nRoey Victoria Heifetz – Heifetz is an artist from Jerusalem currently living in Berlin. Her most recent work includes videos and drawings of transgender women (primarily) in communities in Berlin\, Israel and Los Angeles\, including self-portraits. The pieces examine the transgender body and the body in general\, and raise issues such as gender change\, anxieties\, old age\, regret\, femininity\, motherhood\, pain\, and fear of yourself and of society. Her work has been shown in group and solo exhibitions around the world. Heifetz studied at the Bezalel Academy for Arts and Design in Jerusalem (BFA\, MFA) and the School of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston. She is the recipient of the 2018 Ann and Ari Rosenblatt Prize in Visual Art. \nSagi Refael – Refael is an Israeli art historian and curator whose writing and curating focuses on gender issues and particularly representations of masculinity in art and visual culture. He has curated and/or published on contemporary art exhibitions at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art\, Museum of Israeli Art (Ramat Gan) and galleries in Israel\, Berlin\, and Los Angeles. \nDate: Tuesday\, February 19\, 2019\nTime: 2:30 pm\nLocation: Royce Hall 314 \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nUCLA Department of Art\nUCLA Department of Art History\nUCLA Department of Gender Studies\nCenter for Jewish Studies\nUCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance\nCenter for Near Eastern Studies\nLGBTQ Studies Program\nCenter for the Study of Women\nUCLA Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures

SUMMARY:Raquel Medina\, "Gendering Alzheimer's Disease: Mothers\, Daughters\, and Sisters"
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Raquel Medina\, Senior Lecturer in Spanish and Director of CinemAGEnder International Research Network\, Aston University\nOrganized by the UCLA Department of Gender Studies\nDate: Wednesday\, January 16\, 2019\nTime: 3:00 – 5:00 PM\nLocation: 2125 Rolfe Hall \nThis presentation will provide a comparative and cross-cultural analysis of cinematic representations of Alzheimer’s disease in several non-mainstream films that employ it as a trope to explore age and gender. Contrary to mainstream productions\, films such as Pandora’s Box (Turkey 2008)\, the Good Herbs (Mexico 2010)\, Old Cats (Chile 2010)\, Poetry (Korea 2010)\, and A Separation (Iran (2011) offer important counter-narratives to the feminization of Alzheimer’s disease as decay. This talk aims to shed light on how these counter-narratives offer feminist/intersectional perspectives on Alzheimer’s disease. Concepts of womanhood\, sisterhood\, mothering\, and matrophobia in these films will be linked in this discussion to crucial issues such as solidarity\, empathy\, assisted suicide\, suicide\, and violence against women. \nCo-Sponsored by:\n\nCenter for the Study of Women

SUMMARY:Black Feminism and the Practice of Care
DESCRIPTION:A one-day symposium on black women’s care\, wellness\, and healing presented by the UC Consortium for Black Studies in California. This event explores the relationship between individual practices of care and care as an investment in communities (particularly those haunted by precarity and disposability)\, and reimagines care (and harm and depletion) as emerging not just from late capitalist phenomena like stress and work burn-out\, but also from racist institutions\, historical violence\, structural neglect\, and familial wounds. \nClosing Reception will be held from 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM\nKeynote Speakers:\n\nHonor Ford-Smith\, York University\nBeverly Hanson\, Sistren Theater Collective\n\nPanelists:\nJudith Casselberry (Bowdoin College)\, Stephanie Hicks (University of Michigan)\, Jessica Johnson (Johns Hopkins University)\, Courtney Marshall (Phillips Exeter Academy)\, Jessica Millward (UC Irvine)\, LaKisha Simmons (University of Michigan)\, Jasmine Syedullah (Vassar College)\, SA Smythe (UC Irvine)\, Terrion Williamson (University of Minnesota)\, Tiffany Willoughby-Herard (UC Irvine) \nModerators:\nErica Ball (Occidental College)\, Marne Campbell (Loyola Marymount University)\, Imani Johnson (UC Riverside) \nCo-Sponsored by:\n\nUCLA Division of Social Sciences\nUCLA Department of Gender Studies\nRalph J.

SUMMARY:#masshysteria. Trans*: Hystories\, Bodies and the Unbuilding of Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Jack Halberstam\nProfessor of English\, Comparative Literature and Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality at Columbia University.\nThis guest lecture is part of the UCLA event series #masshysteria. Hysteria\, Politics\, and Performance Strategies organized by the UCLA Department of French and Francophone Studies. \nDate: Monday\, November 5\, 2018 \nTime: 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm \nLocation: 10383 Bunche Hall \nFREE ADMISSION\nWhile transgender has mostly been discussed in the last decade in terms of making bodies and selves\, Jack Halberstam will discuss the work of unmaking that is performed by the appellation of trans*. With this shift in focus\, the wrong body\, an appellation used mostly for people who have felt themselves to be out of place\, out of time\, comes not to claim right but to dismantle the system that metes out rightness and wrongness. This talk will offer examples of protest performances drawn from the 1970’s to argue for anarchic trans* feminisms oriented towards unbuilding and unmaking worlds\, and will therefore\, re-contextualize the agency of restless\, transitive\, hysterical bodies of the present. \nThe talk will be followed by an open conversation with Jack Halberstam and moderated by Johanna Braun. \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nCenter for the Study of Women\nDepartment of English\nDepartment of Germanic Languages\nDepartment of Theater\nCenter for European and Russian Studies\nCenter for Performance Studies\nLGBTQ Studies Program

Hysteria\, Politics\, and Performance Strategies\nA conference organized by the UCLA Department of French and Francophone Studies and the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies \nDate: November 1\, 2018 \nTime: 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM \nLocation: 306 Royce Hall \nRSVP: https://french.ucla.edu/event/masshysteria-hysteria-politics-and-performance-strategies-conference/ \n\nIn Europe\, especially in Vienna and Paris\, around 1900\, the hysterical girl was a well-studied object in arts and sciences; she re-appeared\, a hundred years later\, in countless manifestations in US mainstream horror films. In addition\, key words describing women in protest as “hysterical”\, “nasty”\, “possessed”\, or “monstrous” dominate contemporary public discourse. The female hysteric in these current narratives references strikingly established representations of the hysteric as (public) performer that extend well beyond the European studies of the nineteenth century. For example\, although the medical term hysteria was struck from the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1994\, it simultaneously reappeared as Histrionic Personality Disorder (Latin: histrio\, actor/actress). This rebranding further underlines the point of this investigation: the female hysteric is diagnosed as performer. Given this reintroduction\, and the re-appearance of the hysteric in current discourses\, one may assume that the self-reflective media figure of the female hysteric will continue to gain ground in its cultural impact. The aim of this project is to show the ways in which a historical European phenomenon enjoys an active legacy in the United States one hundred years later and\, in turn\, resonates around the world. \nAlthough the history and evolution of the representation of hysteria have been extensively researched\, the study of how these discourses have been transferred to twenty-first-century US popular culture remains uncharted territory. This conference’s main focus is the way in which the hysteric is involved in and performs on the pressing intersection of hysteria\, cultural\, (horror) film and performance studies. \nFurthermore\, as a result of performance studies being a paradigm-driven field\, this conference (and the subsequent publication) will be divided into two sections: In the beginning\, we will follow the hysteric’s performance as object of inquiry\, which will enable us to put the current phenomenon in its (historical) context. Thereafter\, we will expand the scope and focus on performance studies as a primary analytical concept\, which will enable us to uncover the potentiality of agency in the hysteric’s performance. We welcome scholarship and practice-based research in relation to hysteria and performance from all disciplines and backgrounds. As this event is designed to bring together a diverse group of scholars and artists\, we value traditional paper submissions as well as encourage experimental forms of presentations\, such as (new) media-\, video-\, performance and performance-lecture. \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nDepartment of French and Francophone Studies\nCenter for European and Russian Studies\nCenter for Performance Studies\n\n

SUMMARY:Sami Schalk\, "Bodyminds Reimagined: Disability\, Race\, and Gender in Black Women's Speculative Fiction"
DESCRIPTION:Bodyminds Reimagined: Disability\, Race\, and Gender in Black Women’s Speculative Fiction\nBook Talk with Dr. Sami Schalk\, Assistant Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\nDate: Wednesday\, October 17\nTime: 2:30 – 4:00 PM\nLocation: UCLA Powell Library\, East Rotunda \nThis event is wheelchair accessible and will have an ASL Interpreter \nIn Bodyminds Reimagined Sami Schalk traces how black women’s speculative fiction complicates the understanding of bodyminds—the intertwinement of the mental and the physical—in the context of race\, gender\, and (dis)ability. Bridging black feminist theory with disability studies\, Schalk demonstrates that this genre’s political potential lies in the authors’ creation of bodyminds that transcend reality’s limitations. She reads (dis)ability in neo-slave narratives by Octavia Butler (Kindred) and Phyllis Alesia Perry (Stigmata) not only as representing the literal injuries suffered under slavery\, but also as a metaphor for the legacy of racial violence. The fantasy worlds in works by N. K. Jemisin\, Shawntelle Madison\, and Nalo Hopkinson—where werewolves have obsessive-compulsive-disorder and blind demons can see magic—destabilize social categories and definitions of the human\, calling into question the very nature of identity. In these texts\, as well as in Butler’s Parable series\, able-mindedness and able-bodiedness are socially constructed and upheld through racial and gendered norms. Outlining (dis)ability’s centrality to speculative fiction\, Schalk shows how these works open new social possibilities while changing conceptualizations of identity and oppression through nonrealist contexts. \nThis event is sponsored by UCLA African-American Studies\, the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, UCLA Disability Studies\, UCLA Department of English\, and UCLA Department of Gender Studies. \n

SUMMARY:Hannah Kosstrin\, "Honest Bodies: Methods for Transnational Dance Analysis"
DESCRIPTION:Honest Bodies: Methods for Transnational Dance Analysis\nBook talk by Hannah Kosstrin\, Ohio State University\nOrganized by the UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance\nDate: October 9\, 2018 \nTime: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nLocation: 230 Kaufman Hall \nAnna Sokolow’s choreography circulated American modernist and communist ideologies through predominantly Jewish channels of the international Left between the 1930s and 1960s. In this talk\, Kosstrin highlights how Sokolow’s body as a Jewish\, gendered site determined her relationship to social politics in the dance landscapes of New York\, Mexico City\, and Tel Aviv in which she and her dance companies participated. Kosstrin introduces her framework for transnational dance analysis\, “honest bodies\,” and how it exposes cultural- and dance-based kinesthetic influences that implicated Sokolow and her movement practices in global dance modernism and its choreographic discourses. \nDr. Hannah Kosstrin is Assistant Professor in the Department of Dance at The Ohio State University and affiliated with the Melton Center for Jewish Studies and Center for Slavic and East European Studies. She is author of Honest Bodies: Revolutionary Modernism in the Dances of Anna Sokolow (Oxford UP\, 2017). \nCo-sponsors:\n\nYounes and Soraya Nazarian Center for Israel Studies\nAlan D.

SUMMARY:Representing the Sex Industries
DESCRIPTION:Representing the Sex Industries\nWith Dr. Beth Ribet\, Co-Director of Repair\nDate: Tuesday\, May 15\, 2018 \nTime: 4:00 – 6:00 PM \nLocation: UCLA School of Law\, Room 3467 \nIn this lecture and dialogue\, Dr. Beth Ribet\, who will be introduced by Professor Claudia Peña\, will address the framing and representation of people in systems of prostitution in popular media\, academic theory\, political discourse\, and in the criminal justice system. Within this discussion\, Dr. Ribet will explore the contemporary politics of sex trafficking rhetoric\, and will specifically introduce analysis of the recent framing\, in right-wing media\, of Donald Trump as an anti-trafficking hero supposedly responsible for the rescue of trafficked children and women. She will also delve into the history and ramifications of the dichotomy between the terms “sex work” and “sex trafficking”\, and will identify the need for feminist\, race-conscious analysis and interventions to address the relationship between whiteness\, white women\, and pimping in the United States. Dr. Ribet’s lecture will conclude with discussion of the hyper-vulnerability of sexually exploited youth and adults\, and the prospects for advancing survivor-driven approaches to comprehending and naming the sex industries. Discussion and commentary will follow by Jyoti Nanda\, Binder Clinical Teaching Fellow at UCLA School of Law. \nOrganized by Repair. Co-sponsored by CSW\, UCLA Department of Gender Studies\, and the UCLA Law Youth and Justice Clinic. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Crescent Moon Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Department of English\nDate: May 4\, 2018 \nTime: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM \nLocation: California Room\, UCLA Faculty Center \nThe one-day Crescent Moon Symposium (May 4\, 2018) explores the lives of philosopher Hu Shih 胡适 (1891-1962)\, poet Xu Zhimo 徐志摩 (1897-1931)\, scholar/Shakespearean Liang Shiqiu 梁实秋\, writer/painter Ling Shuhua 凌淑华 (1900-1990)\, and their literary communities.  The quartet of bilingual intellectuals epitomized the vibrant East-West exchanges in the wake of the May Fourth movement. All four were members of the Crescent Moon Society 新月社\, established by Xu Zhimo and Hu Shi and designed as a counterpart of the Bloomsbury Group of England. Three also happened to be prolific epistolary writers. A cosmopolitan friendly with Katherine Mansfield\, Roger Fry\, and Rabindranath Tagore\, Xu was most famous for his Chinese poetry and love letters. Hu Shi corresponded with Bertrand Russell\, Arthur Waley\, and a number of American literary luminaries. Ling Shuhua corresponded with Virginia Woolf\, Vanessa Bell\, and Julian Bell. \nTwo of the four keynote speakers are descendants of Xu Zhimo and Ling Shuhua\, respectively: Tony S. Hsu 徐善曾\, Xu Zhimo’s only grandson and author of Chasing the Modern《志在摩登》(2017); Sasha Su-Ling Welland 魏淑凌 (U of Washington)\, grandniece of Ling Shuhua and author of A Thousand Miles of Dreams: The Journeys of Two Chinese Sisters (2007). The other two keynoters are Susan Chan Egan 陈毓贤\, co-author of A Pragmatist and His Free Spirit: The Half-Century Romance of Hu Shi and Edith Clifford Williams (2009)\, and Michelle Yeh (UC Davis)\, author of Modern Chinese Poetry: Theory and Practice since 1917 (1991). The symposium will also feature a round table discussion of the Crescent Moon Society (a literary society named after a volume of prose poems by Rabindranath Tagore) and its Bloomsbury connection\, and a literary salon with bilingual readings\, songs\, slides\, and documentaries about Xu\, Hu\, and Ling. Round table participants include the four keynoters\, visiting scholar Liu Cong 刘聪 (Liang Shiqiu 梁实秋 scholar)\, and three UCLA faculty members (Michael Berry 白睿文\, King-Kok Cheung 张敬珏\, Louise Hornby). Admission is free and open to the community. \nSpeakers:\nSusan Chan Egan 陈毓贤\, retired securities analyst\, author of A Latterday Confucian and A Pragmatist and His Free Spirit: The Half-Century Romance of Hu Shi and Edith Clifford Williams \nLouise Hornby\, Assistant Professor of English at UCLA; author of Still Modernism: Photography\, Literature\, Film \nLiu Cong 刘聪\, Visiting scholar at UCLA and Liang Shiqiu specialist \nTony S.

SUMMARY:Ula Taylor\, "The Promise of Patriarchy: Women and the Nation of Islam"
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UC Consortium for Black Studies in California\nUla Y. Taylor discusses her recently published book\, The Promise of Patriarchy: Women and the Nation of Islam (UNC Press\, 2017). The patriarchal structure of the Nation of Islam (NOI) promised black women the prospect of finding a provider and a protector among the organization’s men\, who were fiercely committed to these masculine roles. Black women’s experience in the NOI\, however\, has largely remained on the periphery of scholarship. Here\, Ula Taylor documents their struggle to escape the devaluation of black womanhood while also clinging to the empowering promises of patriarchy. Taylor shows how\, despite being relegated to a lifestyle that did not encourage working outside of the  home\, NOI women found freedom in being able to bypass the degrading experiences connected to labor performed largely by working-class black women and in raising and educating their children in racially affirming environments. Telling the stories of women like Clara Poole (wife of Elijah Muhammad) and Burnsteen Sharrieff (secretary to W. D. Fard\, founder of the Allah Temple of Islam)\, Taylor offers a compelling narrative that explains how their decision to join a homegrown\, male-controlled Islamic movement was a complicated act of selfpreservation and self-love in Jim Crow America. \nUla Taylor is a leading feminist historian. She is Professor and H. Michael and Jeanne Williams Department Chair in the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies at the University of California\, Berkeley. \nDATE: April 30\, 2018 \nTIME: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM \nLOCATION: Room 6275\, Bunche Hall

SUMMARY:A Dialogue on the Challenges of Minoritized Academic Fields at this Time
DESCRIPTION:Part of The Philippines and its Elsewheres\nA series organized by the UCLA Center for Southeast Asian Studies\nFeaturing:\nNeferti Tadiar\, Professor and Chair of Women’s\, Gender & Sexuality Studies\, Barnard College \nAllan Punzalan Isaac\, Chair of American Studies and Associate Professor of American Studies and English\, Rutgers University \nRespondent: Steven Nelson\, Director\, UCLA Center for African Studies \nThe theme of the conversation orbits around the challenges minoritized fields–including Gender/Women/Feminist Studies as a field–must take up at this time. “At this time” is broadly and vaguely\, yet pointedly invoked. “At this time” could be: Trumpudo time\, Duterte\, Modi\, thinly veiled dictatorship\, resurgence of populism/neopopulism\, #metoo…. Or\, with fires\, floodings\, drought\, landslides\, and bomb cyclones in our immediate surroundings\, “At this time” could also be the end of times\, Z apocalypse\, a time toward Extinction Level Event. \n“The Philippines and its Elsewhere” explores the politics of knowledge production\, university education\, and global citizenship with Filipino Studies as its launching point. It is concerned with what interconnectivity across borders enables and demands\, as forms and politics of the global continually shifts. \nDATE: April 13\, 2018 \nTIME: 12:00 PM \nLOCATION: 10383 Bunche Hall \nRSVP: http://www.international.ucla.edu/cseas/event/13134

SUMMARY:Maria Josefina Saldaña-Portillo\, "Indian Given: Racial Geographies Across Mexico and the United States"
DESCRIPTION:Indian Given: Racial Geographies Across Mexico and the United States\nA Book Talk by Maria Josefina Saldaña-Portillo\nMaría Josefina Saldaña-Portillo is Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis at NYU and Visiting Professor of English at UC Berkeley. She is the author of The Revolutionary Imagination in the Americas and the Age of Development (Duke University Press\, 2003) and Indian Given: Racial Geographies Across Mexico and the United States (Duke University Press\, 2016). Indian Given was awarded the Best Book Award from the National Association for Chicano and Chicana Studies (NACCS) in 2017 \nIn Indian Given María Josefina Saldaña-Portillo addresses current racialized violence and resistance in Mexico and the United States with a genealogy that reaches back to the sixteenth century. Saldaña-Portillo formulates the central place of indigenous peoples in the construction of national spaces and racialized notions of citizenship\, showing\, for instance\, how Chicanos/as in the U.S./Mexico borderlands might affirm or reject their indigenous background based on their location.  In this and other ways\, she demonstrates how the legacies of colonial Spain’s and Britain’s differing approaches to encountering indigenous peoples continue to shape perceptions of the natural\, racial\, and cultural landscapes of the United States and Mexico. Drawing on a mix of archival\, historical\, literary\, and legal texts\, Saldaña-Portillo shows how los indios/Indians provided the condition of possibility for the emergence of Mexico and the United States.\n\nProfessor Saldaña’s presentation addresses the imbrication of NAFTA\, narcos\, and the legacy of the indio bárbaro.\n\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday April 12th 2018\nTime: 3:00pm\nLocation: Charles E. Young Research Library\, Main Conference Room 11360\nOrganized by the Department of Gender Studies \nCo-Sponsored by The Center for the Study of Women\, American Indian Studies Center\, American Indian Studies Interdepartmental Program\, Department of English and The Latin American Institute

SUMMARY:Nicole George\, "Women\, Peace\, and Security through a Vernacular Frame: Global/local frictions in Solomon Islands and Bougainville"
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Department of Asian American Studies\nSince the early 2000s\, United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Women Peace and Security\, and particularly UNSCR 1325\, have become a key focus of policy making and gender advocacy for those aiming to promote women’s roles in conflict resolution and conflict transition in the western Pacific Islands region. But in these contexts\, arguments about the rights of women to be recognized as those who bear specific sorts of burdens in times of instability\, or those who bring particular types of skills or insights to the processes of post-conflict governance also come into friction with vernacular notions of security and localized sentiments about the foundations for the safe ordering of community. In this presentation Nicole George reflects on recent academic development of the concept of vernacular security and the insights this work might offer into the challenges surrounding promotion of women peace and security principles in this region. George then draws upon lessons learned from research with everyday communities of women impacted by the long process of conflict transition. George examines where and how frictions occur between conceptualizations of gendered security that uphold women’s rights to safety and participation\, and those which equate gendered security with respect for\, and adherence to\, gendered codes of responsibility to family and community. \nNicole George is a leading feminist in Oceania and the author of Situating Women: Gender Politics and Circumstance in Fiji (Australian National University Press\, 2012). \nDATE: April 9\, 2018 \nTIME: 3:00 PM \nLOCATION: Rolfe 2125
