SUMMARY:Thinking Gender 2024: “Dystopian Realities\, Feminist Utopias”
DESCRIPTION:When: Friday\, March 1\, 2024 (In Person)\nWhere: James West Alumni Center\, The Collins Conference Room\, 325 Westwood Plaza\, Los Angeles\, CA 90095 \nJoin us for the 34th Annual Thinking Gender Graduate Student Research Conference “Dystopian Realities\, Feminist Utopias.” Thinking Gender 2024’s conference theme considers what it means to live in the cataclysmic wake of racial capitalism\, settler colonialism\, and neoliberalism. At the same time\, the theme celebrates how feminist\, queer\, and BIPOC scholarship\, activism\, and art enact utopias by imagining alternatives to hegemonic structures. \nThe theme seeks to explore how dystopianism serves as an apt metaphor to explore and critique social and political issues related to gender\, race\, class\, and sexuality and how utopianism is an ethical mandate to imagine a better present and future. \nOur in-person program on Friday\, March 1\, 2024\, will be open to the public. Guests who have not pre-registered may be admitted if space permits. \n \n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n \nCosponsors\nAfrican American Studies \nAnthropology \nAsian American Studies Center \nBixby Center on Population and Reproductive Health \nChicana/o and Central American Studies \nComparative Literature \nDisability Studies \nEquity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion \nGender Studies \nGraduate Division \nHumanities Division \nInstitute for Research on Labor & Employment \nInstitute of American Cultures \nInternational Institute \nJustice\, Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion\, David Geffen School of Medicine \nLGBTQ Campus Resource Center \nRalph J.

SUMMARY:Oral Histories of Environmental Illness (OHEI) Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Canary Knowledge: Chronic Fatigue\, Chemical Sensitivities and the Limits of Medicine\nPresented by the CSW|Streisand Center. \n\nRSVP to the symposium.\nView the program and schedule.\nView the accessibility copies.\n\nWhen: Friday\, November 17 – Saturday\, November 18\, 2023 \nWhere: Hershey Hall Salon (158)\, 612 Charles E. Young Drive East\, Los Angeles\, CA 90095 (Parking structure 2 is closest) \nHybrid event. The event will be in-person and live-streamed on CSW|Streisand Center’s YouTube channel @UCLACSW. \n\nWatch the Friday\, November 17 livestream.\nWatch the Saturday\, November 18 livestream.\n\nWith the surge in numbers of “unrecovered” from the Co-V2 pandemic\, the public’s interest has turned to disability and caregiver activism\, ongoing remissions protocols\, and patient-led research networks established by those living with chronic fatigue\, multiple chemical sensitivity\, tick-borne illnesses\, and autoimmune conditions (e.g. HIV\, lupus\, Crohn’s). 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.

This talk turns to the street queen\, a fixture of mid twentieth century American queer and trans cities\, to ask critical questions of the propensity to idealize subjects marginalized by race and gender.

But the university is also where many of the most degrading and devastating negations and limitations on trans people’s lives have been invented\, credentialed\, and funded. How can trans studies—and trans people in academia—confront that painful reality and history in their effects on us? What does it look like to be trans and do trans work from a critical perspective on the university as an institution? \nHow can thinking through UCLA’s history\, in particular\, inform how we imagine a more ethical and justice-centered vision for the public university’s relationship to transgender people? Join this conversation with Thinking Gender 2022 keynote speaker\, Dr. Jules Gill-Peterson\, author of Histories of the Transgender Child (University of Minnesota Press\, 2018)\, the first book to shatter the widespread myth that transgender children are a brand-new generation in the twenty-first century. The conversation will include a roundtable discussion with members of a statewide community-university initiative\, Just Research?

SUMMARY:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag: South Carolina Philosopher: Louisa Susannah McCord
DESCRIPTION:A Talk by Carol Bensick\, PhD\nDATE: Friday\, March 18\, 2022\nTIME: 12:00 -1:00 PM (PST)\nLOCATION: Zoom (RSVP to receive link) \nREGISTER ONLINE \nEVENT FLYER \nThe South has been decidedly underrepresented in the growing canon of antebellum nineteenth century American women philosophers. Louisa McCord stands out as a promising candidate to correct this imbalance. In a period where the essay format was almost exclusively the province of men\, McCord wrote and published numerous essays in respected Southern journals. These were identified\, collected\, and edited in the mid 1990s. Even so\, the recovery of forgotten women philosophers was only getting underway at that time and many still went unnoticed. This talk will make a first step toward becoming acquainted with McCord and discovering the similarities and differences between her work and that of her already established contemporaries from the North. \nCarol Bensick earned her PhD in American Literary and Intellectual History from 1620 to 1914 at Cornell University. As a Research Affiliate at the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, she has given conference papers and published blog posts on unknown and barely known women philosophers such as Nancy Kingsbury Wollstonecraft of New Hampshire and Julia Ward Howe of Massachusetts\, as well as on John Dewey’s and William James’s interactions with women philosophical students and friends. Her chapters on philosophers Sarah Dorsey of Mississippi and Amalie Hathaway of Michigan are forthcoming in Springer and Oxford collections respectively. Her latest nineteenth-century philosophical interest is political essayist Louisa McCord of South Carolina.

She was recently honored as a 2020 Visionary by Oprah Winfrey’s O Magazine for making California the first state in the nation to ban natural hair discrimination with The CROWN Act. \nAs Supervisor\, Mitchell is proud to serve the two million residents of the Second District which includes the neighborhood she grew up in\, Leimert Park\, and the following cities: Carson\, Compton\, Culver City\, Gardena\, Hawthorne\, Inglewood\, Lawndale\, Lynwood\, parts of Los Angeles\, and dozens of unincorporated communities. \nSupervisor Mitchell is a University of California at Riverside Highlander\, a CORO Foundation Fellow and mother to Ryan. \nHolly Mitchell on Social Media\nInstagram: @HollyJMitchell\nTwitter: @HollyJMitchell\nFacebook: @SupervisorHollyJ.Mitchell

SUMMARY:CSW Research Affiliates Brown Bag\, "Resist\, Reframe\, Insist: Alice Notley’s Poetics of Inclusion" by Elline Lipkin
DESCRIPTION:A Talk by Elline Lipkin\, PhD\nRegister Online \nThis talk considers the experimental poetics of contemporary American poet Alice Notley\, one of the few women considered part of the New York school. Notley’s use of an “expanded ‘I’” within her work admits other voices into her poems\, rather than just a singular speaker\, particularly within her contemporary epic “The Descent of Alette.” Notley’s writing about motherhood and multivocality reflects her commitment to explore boundaries on the page and is a hallmark of her poetic vision. \nDATE: Friday\, April 16\, 2021\nTIME: 12:00 PM-1:00 PM\nLOCATION: Zoom (RSVP to receive link) \nElline Lipkin is a poet\, academic\, and nonfiction writer. Her first book\, The Errant Thread\, was chosen by Eavan Boland for the Kore Press First Book Award. Her second book\, Girls’ Studies\, was published by Seal Press and explores contemporary girlhood in America. She is currently a Research Scholar with UCLA’s Center for the Study of Women and also teaches poetry for Los Angeles Writing Classes. From 2016-2018\, she served as Poet Laureate of Altadena and co-edited the Altadena Poetry Review. \n

SUMMARY:CSW Research Affiliates Brown Bag: Counternarratives and “Copy Cats”: Alma Whitaker
DESCRIPTION:Counternarratives and “Copy Cats”: Alma Whitaker\, Newspaper Women and Place Making in Early Twentieth-Century Los Angeles\nA Talk by Julie Cohen\, PhD\nDate: Thursday\, February 11\, 2021\nTime: 12-1 pm\nLocation: Zoom \nRSVP Online \nAs part of a larger project on women journalists in US Western cities in the early twentieth century\, Julie Cohen will discuss writer Alma Whitaker—feminist\, reporter\, and columnist for the Los Angeles Times from 1910 to 1944. Widely known in her time but almost totally forgotten today\, Whitaker employed wit\, satire\, and sarcasm to advance a strong feminist perspective with an emphasis on economic independence for women. Like so many “copy cats” in the region\, her message both bolstered the white settler campaign to create Los Angeles as a “white spot” and challenged patriarchal norms. Situating Whitaker within the emergence of the mass-circulating urban newspaper industry\, Cohen will analyze Whitaker’s prolific writings and the way in which they promoted and re-defined notions of women’s selfhood in the “frontier” space of Los Angeles. \nJulie Cohen is a Research Affiliate at the UCLA Center for the Study of Women and a lecturer in the Department of History at Cal State Los Angeles.
