Berger will offer guidance on how to conceptualize a scholarly book project\, put together a book proposal\, and make the most of the peer review process. She will also offer strategies for finding the right publisher and working with an acquisitions editor. This will be an informal workshop designed to help first-time authors navigate the publication process and think about the purpose and reach of their writing. There will be plenty of time for discussion\, so please bring your questions!\n\n\nPanel & Reception: Writing and Publishing as a Scholar-Activist\nIn this conversation\, Courtney Berger (Executive Editor at Duke University Press) and members from the UCLA community—Colby Lenz\, Juan Herrera\, Kian Goh\, Lee Ann Wang—will discuss the challenges and rewards of writing as both scholar and activist. We will address a range of questions that scholar-activists navigate in their work and in their writing. What does it mean to be a scholar-activist and how does it change the kind of writing you do? How do you negotiate the competing demands of activism and the university? How do you write in a way that will reach both scholarly and non-scholarly audiences? And how do you maintain ethical relations with the communities you work with while doing scholarly work?\n\nAbout the Editor-in-Residence \nCourtney Berger (she/they) is Executive Editor at Duke University Press. She joined the Press in 2003\, after receiving her Ph.D. in English from Johns Hopkins University. Courtney acquires books across the humanities and social sciences\, including American studies\, Native American and Indigenous studies\, Asian American studies\, queer\, trans\, and gender studies\, media and technology\, and environmental humanities. Berger seeks out books that are theoretically and politically engaged and that speak to a wide\, interdisciplinary audience. They have published books by many prominent scholars\, but also enjoy collaborating with first-time authors who are in the process of establishing their critical voice. \nFriendly Reminder: Seating is on a first come\, first served basis. Due to the high percentage of no-shows\, we do overbook our events. Therefore\, a reservation does not guarantee a seat\, so we suggest you arrive early. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. \nCosponsored By: \nCSW|Barbra Streisand Center \nUCLA Social Sciences \nUCLA Humanities \nUCLA Herb Alpert School of Music \nUCLA Bixby Center to Advance Sexual and Reproductive Health Equity

This conference bridges the immediate before and after of Co-V2’s effects on this growing population of the chronically ill\, and often medically abandoned\, to ask how they—like the proverbial canaries in the coal mine—have defined and laid the groundwork for disability justice\, art\, and activism. \nThis event is part of a three-year multi-campus research grant at the University of California focusing on “Abolition Medicine and Disability Justice: Mapping Inequity and Renewing the Social Project.” \nFragrance-free: \nPlease avoid wearing scented products such as perfumes/colognes\, scented lotions\, clothing with strong detergent scents\, etc. while attending this event as they can trigger serious health issues for those with fragrance allergies.

SUMMARY:Fly in Power Film Screening and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Date: Friday\, October 20\, 2023\nTime: 5 – 8 pm PDT \nWhere: Darren Star Screening Room\n235 Charles E Young Dr N Melnitz Hall 1422 Los Angeles\, CA 90095 \n\nRSVP to Fly in Power Film Screening and Q&A\n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\n\nThe UCLA Transnational Gender and Labor Working Group\, IRLE\, and CSW|Streisand Center in collaboration with Red Canary Song and SWOP LA invite you to join the film screening of Fly in Power\, followed by a Q&A with Elena Shih and a SWOP LA speaker. \nFly in Power follows Charlotte\, a Korean massage worker and core organizer of Red Canary Song (RCS)\, a social justice collective of Asian diasporic massage workers\, sex workers and allies who basebuild through mutual aid. Through her history\, we learn how the incarceral system is pitted against Asian migrant women and their survival. The documentary is a glimpse into the intimate spaces that not only connect these women and non-binary queers\, but is also a testament to the global advocacy of women’s rights to work and thrive. The documentary is directed by Yin Q\, a Queer\, Chinese American parent\, writer\, and sex worker rights advocate\, and Yoon Grace Ra\, a cultural organizer working with audio/visual media. \nThis film has been produced entirely by women\, non-binary\, trans and queers of the Asian diaspora—more than half of the production team are former/current sex workers. Each story centers the narrative of an Asian massage worker in her own words\, enabling us to witness the trust built between the film team and the participants with their own agency of storytelling and editing. Fly in Power premiered in March this year in Flushing\, Queens. Since then it has been shown at various universities and film festivals including the San Francisco Sex Worker Film Festival\, the Los Angeles Asian and Pacific Islander Film Festival where it won Grand Jury Prize Best Documentary\, and the 46th Asian American International Film Festival. \nA catered reception will follow after screening and Q&A. \n*The Darren Star Screening Room is located in Melnitz Hall and situated on the northeast corner of the UCLA campus in Westwood\, next to the Broad Art Center and the Murphy Sculpture Garden.* \nView event flier PDF.

SUMMARY:"Manufacturing Freedom": Elena Shih Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, October 19\, 2023\nTime: 12:15 – 1:45 pm PDT\nLocation: Haines Hall 352\, Portola Plaza Los Angeles\, CA 90095 \nRSVP to Manufacturing Freedom:\nElena Shih Book Talk\nAbout the event\nThe UCLA Transnational Gender and Labor Working Group\, IRLE\, and CSW|Streisand Center invite you to join Professor Elena Shih to discuss her new book\, Manufacturing Freedom: Sex Work\, Anti-Trafficking Rehab\, and the Racial Wages of Rescue (UC Press\, 2023). \nAbout the book\nSex worker rescue programs have become a core focus of the global movement to combat human trafficking. While these rehabilitation programs promise freedom from enslavement and redemptive wages for former sex workers\, such organizations actually propagate a moral economy of low‑wage women’s work that obfuscates relations of race\, gender\, national power\, and inequality. Manufacturing Freedom is an ethnographic exploration of two American organizations that offer vocational training in jewelry production to women migrants in China and Thailand as a path out of sex work. In this innovative study\, Elena Shih argues that anti‑trafficking rescue and rehabilitation projects profit off persistent labor abuse of women workers and imagined but savvily marketed narratives of redemption. \nAbout the author\nElena Shih is Manning Assistant Professor of American Studies and Ethnic Studies at Brown University\, where she directs a human trafficking research cluster through the Simmons Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice. Shih is the author of two books: Manufacturing Freedom: Sex Work\, Anti-Trafficking Rehab\, and the Racial Wages of Rescue (University of California Press)\, and White Supremacy\, Colonialism\, and the Racism of Anti-Trafficking (Routledge). Shih serves on the editorial boards for The Anti-Trafficking Review\, a peer-reviewed journal of the Global Alliance to Combat Traffic in Women\, and openDemocracy’s Beyond Trafficking and Slavery op-ed platform. In 2018 Shih was appointed to the Rhode Island State Advisory Committee to the US Commission on Civil Rights. Recent op-eds about her research and organizing as a core collective member of Red Canary Song appear in the New York Times and Providence Journal. She earned a PhD in Sociology from UCLA\, and a BA in Asian Studies from Pomona College. \n*Please RVSP for the room number and to secure lunch. \nView event flier PDF.

SUMMARY:CSW|Streisand Center Research Affiliates Brown Bag with Carol Bensick
DESCRIPTION:“Practical Uses of Philosophy”: Julia Ward Howe as Public Philosopher \nby Carol M. Bensick \nWhen: Friday\, April 21\, 2023\, 12–1 p.m. \nWhere: On Zoom. \nREGISTER HERE \nThe American Philosophical Association maintains a Committee on Public Philosophy inspired by “the belief that the broader presence of philosophy in public life is important both to our society and to our profession.” It aims “to find and create opportunities to demonstrate the personal value and social usefulness of philosophy.” Julia Ward Howe was not intent on receiving recognition or admiration as a philosopher herself. In an undated late-life poem called “To Philosophy\,” she is quick and apparently proud to assert “With thy holy robes of state I my meanness did not mate.” But if she eschewed making a name as a philosopher herself\, she was highly intent\, to “demonstrate the personal value and social usefulness of philosophy.” In promoting public philosophy\, she exemplified public philosophy herself. \nCarol M. Bensick completed her PhD at Cornell University in American literary and intellectual history\, specializing in puritanism and transcendentalism. She was an assistant professor at the University of Denver\, the University of Oregon\, and UC Riverside and gained tenure at University of Oregon. She taught summer school at Cornell and UCLA and Extension at UCR. Her revised dissertation was published as La Nouvelle Beatrice: Renaissance and Romance in “Rappaccini’s Daughter.” She edited and wrote the headnote for Jonathan Edwards for the first Heath Anthology of American Literature. As research affiliate at CSW|Streisand Center\, she roams the nineteenth-century archives turning up women philosophers wherever she goes.

SUMMARY:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag with Lara K. Schubert\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:“Glimpsing Structural Engineering Culture: Structural Engineering Equity Efforts from Within”\n \nA Talk by Lara K. Schubert\, PhD\nDATE: Friday\, May 20\, 2022\nTIME: 12:00 -1:00 PM (PDT)\nLOCATION: Zoom (RSVP to receive link) \nREGISTER ONLINE \nEVENT FLYER \nStructural engineers typically consider the profession to be a meritocracy\, in which engineers are successful if they have technical skill required for engineering. While this is important\, the culture of the profession also affects who is promoted and who stays to reach levels of leadership within their firms. The problem of retention has been identified within the profession\, and in 2015 the professional organization created a committee to study and to address the issue. This presentation will give an account of the project\, SE3: Structural Engineering\, Equity and Engagement\, following the trajectory of the efforts from within the profession and reflecting on the strategies used\, how they have evolved\, and how they are informed by the culture of engineering. \nLara K. Schubert is a Research Affiliate at the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, a PhD in Religion\, who has both practiced structural engineering and undertaken ethnographic research with women in religious communities in Cambodia. Her current research merges these areas of expertise. She teaches in feminist science studies and intends to complete a qualitative study of structural engineering to help make clear the culture to ultimately strengthen structural engineering.
