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.

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.

In this role\, she ensured that families across Los Angeles County gained access to childcare and poverty prevention resources. Before leading Crystal Stairs\, she worked as a legislative advocate at the Western Center for Law and Poverty. \nSupervisor Mitchell’s leadership has been recognized by over 100 community and business groups. 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.

SUMMARY:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag: Women in Postwar Franco-Japanese Films
DESCRIPTION:Women in Postwar Franco-Japanese Films\nA Talk by Hannah Holtzman\, PhD\nDate: Friday\, October 30thTime: 12-1 pm\nLocation: Online/Zoom \nRSVP \nAs part of a larger project on Franco-Japanese exchange in cinema\, Hannah Holtzman will discuss the roles of women in the first two Franco-Japanese cinematic co-productions\, Typhoon over Nagasaki (1957) and Hiroshima mon amour (1959). Hiroshima mon amour\, a collaboration by Marguerite Duras and Alain Resnais\, is perhaps best known for its formal innovation\, but it also introduced a new configuration of gender roles\, responding to both the fading tradition of Japonisme and the stereotypical race and gender roles in its immediate precursor Typhoon over Nagasaki. Typhoon over Nagasaki\, a commercial if not critical success at its release\, has been more or less forgotten by scholars today. This talk will compare gender in these films and analyze how both played a pivotal role in restarting Franco-Japanese cultural exchange in the postwar era. \nHannah Holtzman is a Research Affiliate at the UCLA Center for the Study of Women and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of San Diego’s Humanities Center. Her\nresearch in global film studies and the environmental humanities focuses on Franco-\nJapanese cultural exchange and nuclear cinema. Her work has been published in French Studies and Contemporary French Civilization.

SUMMARY:Thinking Gender 2020: Sexual Violence as Structural Violence: Feminist Visions of Transformative Justice
DESCRIPTION:This event has passed. View Photo Highlights from Thinking Gender 2020.\nThis year marks Thinking Gender’s 30th anniversary!\nFRIDAY\, MARCH 6\, 2020\nCARNESALE COMMONS\, UCLA\nPRE-REGISTRATION IS CLOSED\nIn-person registration will be available on the day of. First come\, first serve. Please visit the registration table in the Palisades Lobby on the 3rd floor.\nDETAILED SCHEDULE\nThinking Gender 2020 will focus on feminist\, queer\, trans\, anti-carceral\, transnational\, and intersectional approaches to sexual violence. \nRecent #MeToo mobilizations against high-profile predatory sexual abusers including Harvey Weinstein\, R. Kelly\, and Jeffrey Epstein have heightened public conversation around sexual violence. While important contributions have challenged dominant approaches to sexual violence\, much of it has remained caught in legalistic\, carceral\, or criminal justice discourses that emphasize the punishment of individual actors to the exclusion of envisioning alternative definitions of repair and justice. Such dominant approaches center evidence and proof\, and offer only the punishment of individual perpetrators as remedy\, often in ways that exacerbate existing structural inequalities. Decades of scholarship and activism have demonstrated the inefficacy of such punitive models to curb sexual violence as well as the ways in which they exacerbate the policing of already marginalized communities. \n\nKEYNOTE PANEL\nTransformational Justice: Refusing Criminalization and Sexual Violence\nFriday\, March 6\, 2020\, 3:15 PM\nThinking Gender 2020: Sexual Violence as Structural Violence: Feminist Visions of Transformative Justice will feature a keynote panel of scholars and activists\, headlined by Mariame Kaba.

SUMMARY:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag: Down with Bridewealth! The Organization of Mozambican Women Debates Women's Issues
DESCRIPTION:Down with Bridewealth! The Organization of Mozambican Women Debates Women’s Issues\nA talk by Kathleen Sheldon\, PhD\nIn the early 1980s\, Mozambique was in its first decade of independence under a socialist government that supported women’s issues. This talk will report on a single provincial-level meeting of the women’s organization in 1983 that included extended discussion about policy issues that affected women. The official approach of Frelimo\, the ruling party\, called for an end to “traditional” practices such as polygyny and bridewealth\, while local women activists continued to see value in such practices and pushed back against the government perspective. \nParticipants are welcome to bring a snack or lunch. \nKathleen Sheldon is a Research Affiliate at the Center for the Study of Women whose work focuses on African women’s history and on Mozambique. Her most recent book is African Women: Early History to the 21st Century.

Ballestero’s work looks at the unexpected ethical and technical entanglements through which experts understand water in Latin America. \nBallestero’s first book\, A Future History of Water (Duke University Press\, 2019) asks how the difference between a human right and a commodity is produced in regulatory and governance spaces that purport to be open to different forms of knowledge and promote flexibility and experimentation.

SUMMARY:Gender and Water: Andrea Ballestero\, "A Future History of Water"
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by UCLA Department of Anthropology Culture\, Power\, and Social Change Interest Group.\nPart of Gender and Water\nIn this book talk\, Andrea Ballestero will discuss how to think anthropologically about the techno-legal devices used to deal with the politics of water in the present and in the yet to come. Ballestero will focus on the work of regulators in Costa Rica and how they use pricing formulas and the consumer price index to imagine their responsibility for society and the household as a space of water politics. Ballestero will invite the audience to think about what an anthropology of techno-legal devices looks like if we are open to wonder as an epistemic disposition. This is particularly powerful at a moment in which notions of crisis overwhelm our sense of the limits of the possible. \nBallestero’s first book\, A Future History of Water (forthcoming from Duke University Press) asks how the difference between a human right and a commodity is produced in regulatory and governance spaces that purport to be open to different forms of knowledge and promote flexibility and experimentation. Ballestero has worked with regulators\, policy-makers\, and NGOs in Costa Rica and Brazil to trace how technolegal devices embody moral distinctions\,  pose questions about the foundations of liberal capitalist societies\, and help people inhabit non-linear and generative futures. \nAndrea Ballestero is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Rice University. Ballestero’s work looks at the unexpected ethical and technical entanglements through which experts understand water in Latin America. \nDate: Thursday\, May 16\, 2019 \nTime: 12:45-2:15 PM \nLocation: 352 Haines Hall \n  \nDon’t miss a second event with Andrea Ballestero on May 17: Gender and Water Research Masterclass.\n

SUMMARY:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag: "On Sarah Dorsey: A Nineteenth-century Southern Woman’s Rediscovered Lecture on the Philosophy of the University of France"
DESCRIPTION:Philosopher Sarah Dorsey \nOn Sarah Dorsey: A Nineteenth-century Southern Woman’s Rediscovered Lecture on the Philosophy of the University of France\nA talk by Carol Bensick\, PhD\nSarah Dorsey (1829-1879) is the earliest woman from the U.S. South to devote herself to philosophy. Besides the later Anna Julia Cooper\, she is only the second Southern woman philosopher to be discovered by feminist historians–the first from the “Deep” South. She is the first American to make a study of contemporary French philosophy\, and also the first American to make a study of Hindu philosophy. Dorsey was the first woman to made a study of the biological debate over the original of species. Hidden till now in periodicals and pamphlets\, her work stands to change the shape of the canon of American women philosophers –possibly even that of American philosophy itself. \nCarol Bensick completed her Ph.D. 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.

SUMMARY:Thinking Gender 2019: Feminists Confronting the Carceral State
DESCRIPTION:FRIDAY\, FEBRUARY 22\, 2019\nUCLA LUSKIN CONFERENCE CENTER\n\nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED.\nCONFERENCE OVERVIEW\nDETAILED SCHEDULE\nThinking Gender 2019 will focus on gendered regimes of incarceration\, and feminist\, queer\, abolitionist\, and intersectional interventions.\nThe US justice system is a site of widespread gendered and race-based violence.  The U.S. currently incarcerates nearly a third of all female prisoners in the world\, and between 1977 and 2004\, the number of women in U.S. prisons increased by an unprecedented 757%. As a 2015 CSW co-sponsored report revealed\, women suffering from mental illness in LA County jails are routinely denied treatment\, medication\, and reproductive hygiene products\, and are disproportionately punished with solitary confinement. LGBTQ women are also disproportionately impacted: nearly 40% of incarcerated girls identify as LGBTQ\, while nearly one in six transgender Americans\, and one in two black transgender people\, have been to prison. \nEmerging student scholars and activists will reckon with these issues through feminist and queer perspectives.\n\nKEYNOTE PANEL\n\nABOLITIONIST FEMINIST FUTURES\nFRIDAY\, FEBRUARY 22\, 2019\, 3:45 PM\nUCLA Luskin Conference Center\, Centennial Ballroom A & B\nThinking Gender: Feminists Confronting the Carceral State will feature a keynote panel of distinguished scholar-activists. \nREAD FULL BIOGRAPHIES. \nBETH RICHIE\, Department Head\, Criminology\, Law and Justice and Professor of African American Studies & Criminology\, University of Illinois at Chicago; Author of Arrested Justice: Black Women\, Violence and America’s Prison Nation \n  \nALISA BIERRIA\, Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies\, UC Riverside; Co-founder of Survived & Punished \n  \n  \nCOLBY LENZ\, PhD Candidate\, American Studies and Ethnicity\, USC; Co-founder of Survived & Punished \n  \n  \nROMARILYN RALSTON\, Program Coordinator\, Project Rebound\, CSU-Fullerton; Organizer\, California Coalition for Women Prisoners \n  \n  \nMODERATOR: GRACE HONG\, Chair\, CSW Advisory Committee; Professor\, Gender Studies and Asian American Studies \n  \n  \n  \n\nCONFERENCE SCHEDULE\nThe conference schedule is available online. \nCheck back regularly and join our email list for updates! \n\nPRE-CONFERENCE SEMINAR WITH BETH RICHIE\nCSW is pleased to offer an opportunity to participate in a 1-time\, 2-hour seminar with Keynote Panelist Beth Richie\, author of Arrested Justice: Black Women\, Violence\, and America’s Prison Nation and Professor of African American Studies and Criminology\, University of Illinois at Chicago.
