SUMMARY:#masshysteria. Hysteria\, Politics\, and Performance Strategies
DESCRIPTION:#masshysteria. 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

DESCRIPTION:Beauty Bites Beast: The Missing Conversation About Ending Violence\nOrganized by the Department of World Arts and Culture/Dance\nFeaturing Director Ellen Snortland\nDate: October 24\, 2018 \nTime: 5:00 – 8:00 PM \nLocation: 208 Kaufman Hall \nBeauty Bites Beast is a documentary film that tracks women’s empowerment self-defense training in three national locations\, the US\, Mexico\, and Israel. The film treats violence against women as a tool of social control and examines the ways in which women have been systematically denied the right to self-defense and the skills to exercise that right. The film investigates the process through which gender is lived and embodied and how this embodiment can shift through physical practice. It is also dedicated to altering the social structures through which women and non-binary people are oppressed by advocating for options for women who face violence and harassment. \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: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.

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

SUMMARY:Ari Heinrich\, "Chinese Bodies as Biological Surplus: Plastinated Cadavers and Geopolitical Hierarchies of the Human""
DESCRIPTION:Part of Area Impossible: Sexuality and Geopolitics\n\nThe first event in the UCLA Department of Comparative Literature 2017-2018 Sexuality & Geopolitics Seminar Series will feature Ari Heinrich\, Associate Professor of Literature and Cultural Studies at UCSD. Their lecture\, “Chinese Bodies as Biological Surplus: Plastinated Cadavers and Geopolitical Hierarchies of the Human” will question what a comparative examination of Chinese-language discourse on the plastinated human cadaver exhibits might reveal about the political economics of race and capital distribution that inform them.A firestorm of human rights critiques often greets the opening of an exhibit of plastinated cadavers in Europe and North America\, obscuring any attempts to critique the notion of the human (and indeed of “rights”) in the smoke from its blaze. This talk asks what a comparative examination of Chinese-language discourse on the plastinated human cadaver exhibits might reveal about the political economies of race and capital distribution that inform them.\nDate: February 27\, 2018 \nTime: 5:30 – 8:00 PM \nLocation: Humanities 348

SUMMARY:Curating Resistance: Punk as Archival Method
DESCRIPTION:At a time when performative resistances to exploitative mainstream cultural practices are increasingly under attack\, punk persists as an important space for cultivating and curating expressive means. Punk’s resistant literacies and performances are often in defiance of institutional rigors that carve exclusionary boundaries. Yet\, as punk celebrates its long fortieth birthday\, punk’s contested annals are increasingly not only part of but also help shape institutional efforts to exceed canonic representations. Bringing together scholars\, musicians\, fans\, writers\, and community members\, including bands\, public intellectuals\, and workshops to augment the conventional structure of the academic panel\, Curating Resistance: Punk as Archival Method is teaming up with the UCLA Library Special Collections “Punk Archive” for hands-on\, thoughtful community building within\, across\, and beyond the university. This two-day event\, hosted by the UCLA Center for Musical Humanities\, focuses on the interstices of punk and archive\, using both as method\, so as to push the boundaries of these three terms and practices. The conference focuses on documenting punk musicality\, how sound repertoires and archival practices can give shape to the lived contours of diversity across scale\, from the local to transnational\, and what this means in terms of empowerment for research and endeavors that destabilize this colonial history of the academy. Punk as archival method curates resistance by contributing to these larger conversations via the possibilities of musical subcultures’ collaborative systemic interruptions. \nCurating Resistance: Punk as Archival Method will include speaker panels\, punk performances\, and renowned figures drawn from the gendered and politicized worlds of both musical and visual punk artistry.

SUMMARY:Josh Lambert\, "New Media Jews: Transparent\, Podcasting\, and the Place of Jews in 21st-Century American Culture"
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Josh Lambert (Yiddish Book Center/University of Massachusetts\, Amherst) \nNaftulin Family Lecture on Studies in Jewish Identity \nHow can we explain the prominence of Jews and Jewishness in 21st-century American media? At a moment when companies like Amazon and Netflix were making billion-dollar gambits to reach massive audiences with their own original content\, it turned out to be Jill Soloway’s Transparent\, that proved that a website could beat out the cable and broadcast television networks at the Golden Globes and Emmys. This lecture proposes that we consider the current wave of Jewish culture as resulting from two key developments: the increasing institutionalization of Jewish culture in America since the late 20th-century\, and the affinity between streaming media technology and demographic minorities. \nModerator: Lia Brozgal (UCLA) \n  \nWhile this event is free and open to Leve Center members\, pre-registration is required. \nE-mail cjsrsvp@humnet.ucla.edu or call 310-267-5327 to register.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Dolores
DESCRIPTION:A special screening of Dolores\, the new documentary film about activist Dolores Huerta. \nHistory tells us Cesar Chavez transformed the U.S. labor movement by leading the first farm workers’ union. But missing from this narrative is his equally influential co-founder\, Dolores Huerta\, who fought tirelessly alongside Chavez for racial and labor justice and became one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century. \nLike so many powerful women advocates\, Dolores and her sweeping reforms were – and still are – sidelined and diminished. Even as she empowered a generation of immigrants to stand up for their rights\, her relentless work ethic was constantly under attack. False accusations from foes and friends alike\, of child neglect and immoral behavior—she married three times and raised 11 children – pushed Dolores out of the very union she helped create. \nPeter Bratt’s provocative and energizing documentary challenges an incomplete history. Through beautifully woven archival footage and interviews from contemporaries and from Dolores herself\, now an octogenarian\, the film sets the record straight on one of the most effective and undervalued civil and labor rights leaders in modern U.S. history. \nView the trailer: \n\nOrganized by the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs \n

SUMMARY:Ranjani Mazumdar\, "Technological Networks and Obsolescence in Contemporary Bombay Cinema"
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Ranjani Mazumdar \nProfessor\, School of Arts and Aesthetics\, Jawaharlal Nehru University\, New Dehli\, India \nOrganized by the UCLA Center for India and South Asia \nThis paper looks at the role of media and communication technologies in the sensorial imagination of urban spaces in contemporary Bombay cinema. If surveillance practices and their resultant structuring becomes one part of this imagination (No Smoking 2007\, LSD 2010\, Ugly\, 2013)\, we also see the role of the Internet and social media in the framing of spatial encounters in small town India (Masaan 2015). A fascination for ‘obsolete’ technology frames another order of space linked to the recent past (Gangs of Wasseypur 2012\, Miss Lovely 2012\, Dum Lagake Haisha\, 2015)\, while documentary films like John and Jayne (2005) invoke the call centre imagination within a fractured urban subjectivity. Through a framing of the spatial terrain triggered by new media technologies\, the films offer a new geography of the experiential changes unravelling in contemporary India. \n Ranjani Mazumdar is Professor of Cinema Studies at the School of Arts & Aesthetics\, Jawaharlal Nehru University. Her publications focus on urban cultures\, popular cinema\, gender and the cinematic city. She is the author of Bombay Cinema: An Archive of the City (2007) and co-author with Nitin Govil of the forthcoming The Indian Film Industry. She has also worked as a documentary filmmaker and her productions include Delhi Diary 2001 and The Power of the Image (Co-Directed). Her current research focuses on globalization and film culture\, the visual culture of film posters and the intersection of technology\, travel\, design and colour in 1960s Bombay Cinema. \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion: Silent Song of the Genjer Flowers
DESCRIPTION:This filmed stage play highlights the perspectives of women activists of Gerwani (Indonesian Women’s Movement) who were political prisoners from 1965\, suffered sexual violence\, and were stigmatized for decades as immoral women in Indonesia. During that time hundreds of thousands of members of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) or those considered close to the PKI were murdered and tens of thousands also also imprisoned. Out of this upheaval came the military backed New Order regime\, under General Suharto. \nScholars have argued that the New Order regime legitimized itself through the demonization of female sexuality used to evoke fear of communism in society. The myth of Gerwani as a monster was not only a justification for the mass slaughter and dictatorship but also the removal of women from the political realm. During the New Order era\, women’s role in public areas was allowed as long as it was within the structures defined by the state\, which positioned women as obedient to and dependent on men. Gerwani had been an organization that fought for women’s rights in all areas. The regime’s black slander has erased Gerwani’s real role from our memory. The play offers a counter-discourse by depicting the experience of the five former political prisoners. \nFaiza Mardzoeki is an Indonesian playwright\, director\, producer\, and activist. Since 2002\, she has initiated and produced fourteen theatre productions\, some of which she wrote herself. Of these dramas\, three were published as books in 2017. These are her adaptations of Ib-sen’s A Dolls House\, (Nora) and An Enemy of the People (Subversif!) published by Djaman Baroe and her original play Nyanyi Sunyi Kembang-Kembang Genjer (Silent Song of the Genjer Flowers) published by Ultimus. In addition to theatre\, Faiza is also active in women movements. Between 1997 and 2002 she worked for Solidaritas Perempuan- Women’s Solidarity for Human Rights. She has participated and presented in many international forums of art and women.

SUMMARY:Kathryn Dudley\, "Trusting Mustangs: Feral Ontologies\, Trans-Species Affects"
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Dudley’s research focuses on embodied knowledge and social trauma under regimes of labor that are marginalized by transformations in global capitalism. Her books The End of the Line: Lost Jobs\, New Lives in Postindustrial America and Debt and Dispossession: Farm Loss in America’s Heartland are community studies\, respectively\, of deindustrialization and the demise of family farm agriculture. Her documentary film Black Land Loss examines African American farmers’ class action lawsuit against the USDA. Guitar Makers: The Endurance of Artisanal Values in North America chronicles the rise of a countercultural lutherie movement in the United States and Canada. Her current work tracks the affects\, materialities\, and temporalities that subtend the postindustrial imaginary. Among other honors\, Dudley received the Margaret Mead Award of the American Anthropological Association and the Society for Applied Anthropology for writing that reaches broadly concerned publics.
