SUMMARY:Sara Ahmed\, "Complaint as Diversity Work"
DESCRIPTION:  \nCSW is delighted to welcome Sara Ahmed as a featured speaker in our Feminism + the Senses series. We are presenting two events featuring Sara Ahmed on February 13\, 2018: \n  \nPublic Talk: Complaint as Diversity Work\nDATE: Tuesday\, February 13\, 2018 \nTIME: 3:00 – 5:00 PM \nLOCATION: Ackerman Grand Ballroom \nFree and Open to the Public \nREGISTER ONLINE: https://uclacsw.submittable.com/submit/abe1c4bb-ee7a-4da5-8eb4-16d04bc6f58f/free-registration-sara-ahmed-feminism-and-the-senses \n\nGraduate Seminar\nAll UCLA Graduate Students are eligible to apply to participate in this one-time graduate seminar (not for course credit). Only those selected will be able to attend. \nDATE: Tuesday\, February 13\, 2018 \nTIME: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nAPPLY ONLINE: https://uclacsw.submittable.com/submit/ad6ab305-dbfd-43af-8f63-c84c3484c871/application-graduate-seminar-with-sara-ahmed \nAPPLICATION DEADLINE: January 15\, 2018 \n\nAbout the Speaker\nSara Ahmed is an independent feminist scholar and writer. She has held academic appointments at Lancaster University and Goldsmiths\, University of London. Her work is concerned with how power is experienced and challenged in everyday life and institutional cultures. She has recently completed a book What’s the Use? On the Uses of Use and has begun a new research project on complaint. Her previous publications include Living a Feminist Life (2017)\, Willful Subjects (2014)\, On Being Included (2012)\, The Promise of Happiness (2010)\, Queer Phenomenology (2006)\, The Cultural Politics of Emotion (2014\, 2004)\, Strange Encounters (2000) and Differences that Matter (1998). She also blogs at www.feministkilljoys.com. \nIn 2016\, Ahmed resigned in protest from her post as Professor of Race and Cultural Studies at Goldmiths in response to the institution’s failure to deal with students’ sexual harassment and assault complaints against staff and faculty members. She continues to work to make the problem of sexual harassment at universities more visible through her involvement with organizations like The 1752 Group. \n\nAbout the Talk\nRegister online to attend: https://uclacsw.submittable.com/submit/abe1c4bb-ee7a-4da5-8eb4-16d04bc6f58f/free-registration-sara-ahmed-feminism-and-the-senses \nAhmed will speak about her new research project on “Complaint.” \nThe lecture explores how complaint can be understood as a form of diversity work: the work you do to transform an institution\, or the work you do when you do not quite inhabit the norm of an institution. If doing diversity work is heard as complaint\, making a complaint often requires becoming a diversity worker. This is not to say that those who make complaints always think of themselves as diversity workers in the sense of trying to transform the institution in which the complaint is lodged. But in order to proceed with a complaint you often have to become a diversity worker because making a complaint within an institution brings you up against it. The lecture explores how we learn about the institutional (as usual) from those who are trying to transform institutions. The lecture will discuss how complaint is a sensational intervention into institutional life. \nLOCATION: \n \nLocation: Ackerman Studen Union\, 2nd floor Grand Ballroom \nNearest Parking: Parking Structure 4 (enter via Westwood Plaza from Sunset Blvd.) \n  \nTHIS IS A FRAGRANCE-FREE EVENT. For the health and safety of all attendees\, please refrain from wearing products that contain fragrances when attending CSW events.

SUMMARY:Panel: "Edible Feminisms: On Discard\, Waste\, and Metabolism"
DESCRIPTION:Activists and scholars will offer live reflections on how the past lurks in our shared food future\, and what to do about it.\nFEATURED PANELISTS\nFood justice and food waste activists:\nTanya Fields (Founder and Executive Director\, The BLK ProjeK) \nLisa “Tiny” Gray-Garcia (Co-Editor\, Poor Magazine; author of Criminal of Poverty: Growing Up Homeless in America) \nRick Nahmias (Founder and Executive Director\, Food Forward LA) \nAward-winning scholars:\nHeather Paxson (Professor of Anthropology\, MIT; author of The Life of Cheese: Crafting Food and Value in America) \nKyla Wazana Tompkins (Associate Professor of English and Gender and Women’s Studies\, Pomona College; author of Racial Indigestion: Eating Bodies in the 19th Century) \n  \n  \nDATE: Thursday\, February 1\, 2018 \nTIME: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM. Reception to follow. \nLOCATION: Luskin Conference Center\, UCLA \nFree and open to the public. \nRegister: https://uclacsw.submittable.com/submit/102504/free-registration-edible-feminisms-panel\n\n\nThis panel is part of Edible Feminisms: On Discard\, Waste and Metabolism\, a project organized by CSW Adjunct Assistant Professors Sarah Tracy and Rachel Vaughn.\nEdible Feminisms will culminate in a special issue of the journal Food\, Culture\, and Society. Contributors to the special issue will gather for a private writing workshop following the public panel. \nThis project was inspired by Dr. Kyla Wazana Tompkins‘ framing of “critical eating studies” in her award-winning Racial Indigestion (New York University Press\, 2012) and reflects on the ways in which American Studies\, Food Studies\, Sensory Studies\, Science & Technology Studies\, and Postcolonial Studies are speaking to one another. Through the promptings of food science popularization\, culinary tourism\, food waste\, sustainability\, and access debates\, questions of race\, identity\, and pleasure are currently as germane as the science of obesity/diabetes\, allergy\, and chemical exposure. Rather than separate such strands\, we wish to forward the proposition of “critical eating studies” through explorations of the theme of Re(Value). How do individuals\, companies\, and policy-makers deploy science (e.g.\, evolutionary\, genetic\, molecular) to do the work of differentiation—where differentiation is an expression of value\, whether ethnic\, cultural\, distinction\, or brand? How do such actors center science in their route to positive futures? In other words\, how is latent capacity transformed into new sources of value and to what benefit\, and through which kinds of violence? How does making explicit the materiality\, politics\, and symbolism of eating (a mutual\, subjective\, and intractable affair)\, as feminist and queer critical practice\, help illuminate such questions and to what ends? \n\nPanel Details\n  \n \nNEAREST AVAILABLE PARKING: Parking Structure 8 (enter via Westwood Plaza) \nREGISTER: https://uclacsw.submittable.com/submit/102504/free-registration-edible-feminisms-panel \n\nTHIS IS A FRAGRANCE-FREE EVENT. For the health and safety of all attendees\, please avoid wearing products that contain fragrances when attending CSW events.

SUMMARY:Nonny de la Peña\, "Immersive Journalism\, Breaking the Frame\, and the Gender Struggle in Virtual Reality"
DESCRIPTION:CSW is thrilled to feature Nonny de la Peña as part of Feminism and the Senses.\nRSVP for the Talk (Nov. 13\, 4pm\, Faculty Center): https://csw.ucla.edu/VR\nREQUEST an Individual Virtual Reality Appointment (Nov. 13\, 10am-3:30pm): https://csw.ucla.edu/VR-Request\nNonny de la Peña\, named “The Godmother of Virtual Reality” by The Guardian and Engadget and one of the 20 most influential Latina/os in tech by CNET\, is a pioneer of virtual reality and immersive journalism. As the founder and CEO of Emblematic Group she has collaborated with PBS Frontline\, Wall Street Journal\, Planned Parenthood\, the True Colors Fund\, the New York Times\, and other organizations to create impactful virtual reality experiences depicting real-life events. Her VR projects include “Across the Line\,” which helps viewers understand what some women go through to access abortion services\, “After Solitary\,” which takes viewers inside the Maine State Prison to experience a harrowing story of solitary confinement\, and “Out of Exile\,” which uses VR to draw attention to the plight of homeless LGBTQ youth. Other projects have explored Guantanamo Bay Prison\, then experiences of refugees\, and\, most recently\, the impact of climate change on the landscape of Greenland. \nDe la Peña’s talk will explore how immersive journalism can function as a vehicle for change by “breaking the frame” and by engaging the senses of viewers. She will discuss how this approach is informed by feminism\, and how gender inequity in the tech sector—and in VR in particular—shapes her work. \n\nExperience Immersive Journalism First-Hand: Sign up for a Virtual Reality Appointment prior to the talk\nCSW is thrilled to be partnering with Emblematic Group and the UCLA Transient Media Lab in order to offer members of our community a chance to experience Nonny de la Peña’s immersive journalism through the use of Virtual Reality technology and equipment. We will offer the opportunity to view one of the following virtual reality experiences: \nAcross the Line\n \nProduced in partnership with the Planned Parenthood Foundation of America\, Across the Line helps viewers understand what some women go through to access abortion services. The experience places viewers in the shoes of a patient entering a health center. Using real audio gathered at protests\, scripted scenes\, and documentary footage\, the film is a powerful multimedia depiction of the toxic environment that many health care providers\, health center staff\, and patients must endure to provide or access care on a daily basis. \nOut of Exile: Daniel’s Story\n \nOut of Exile is a powerful reminder of the kind of hostility faced by so many in the LGBTQ community. The piece shines a light on a terrible statistic: forty per cent of homeless youth in America identify as LGBTQ\, with the majority coming from communities of color. When Daniel Ashley Pierce is confronted about his sexual orientation by his family in a “religious intervention\,” the scene turns dramatic and violent. This piece\, created in partnership with the True Colors Foundation\, recreates the event using video captured by Daniel at the time. \nGreenland Melting\n \nOn the heels of the United State’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate agreement\, Emblematic’s Greenland Melting – created in collaboration with FRONTLINE and NOVA – provides a rare\, up-close view of icy Arctic scenery that’s disappearing faster than predicted. \n  \nPlease be aware that these experiences address sensitive topics and depict situations which viewers may find triggering\, upsetting\, or difficult to watch.  \nAppointments to view these pieces will take place on November 13th between 10:00 AM – 3:30 PM. \nWhile Nonny de la Peña’s talk is open to all\, limited spots will be available for individual experiences of her virtual reality work. \nTo learn more and request an appointment\, visit https://csw.ucla.edu/VR-request\n\nTHIS IS A FRAGRANCE-FREE EVENT. For the health and safety of all attendees\, please refrain from wearing products that contain fragrances when attending CSW events. Such products include: perfumes\, hair products\, deodorants\, detergents\, etc. For more information\, visit our Events Accessibility Page: https://csw.ucla.edu/event-accessibility. \nIf you require accommodations in order for this event to be accessible to you (e.g.\, sign language interpretation\, large print materials\, etc.)\, please contact CSW at csw@csw.ucla.edu at least two weeks prior to the event. \n\nCo-sponsored by:\n\nSupported by the Estrin Family Lecture Series Fund\nChicano Studies Research Center\nDepartment of Communication Studies\nDepartment of Information Studies\nProgram in Digital Humanities\nDr. Steve Anderson\, Director of the UCLA Transient Media Lab\, School of Theater\, Film\, and Television\nDivision of Social Sciences

SUMMARY:Breaking the Silence on Hooking Up: A Facilitated Discussion
DESCRIPTION: \nWhat are the risks and rewards of hooking up? Who hooks up\, and when and why? How does hookup culture shape attitudes towards sex and desire? How ubiquitous is hookup culture on campus–and how does it shape the lives of UCLA students? \nCSW invites students\, faculty\, and staff to explore these kinds of questions through a facilitated discussion on Hookup Culture. \nJoin the Conversation\nJoin students from across campus and all walks of life for an open conversation on how sex and power shape your lives. This will be a setting to explore and discuss your concerns and perspectives\, and to find allies and resources to develop strategies for dealing with the complexity of sexual relationships in college. \nAdd your voice to the discussion! Join us as we work together to make sex on campus safer for all. \nHookups and Diversity\nMuch of the conversation around hookup culture on college campuses has focused on students who are heterosexual\, white\, and relatively affluent. We seek to broaden and expand the discussion to represent and include the diverse and realistic composition of college campuses. Together\, we will explore how hookup culture resonates in UCLA’s LGBTQ community and among students of color. In doing so\, we hope to reveal the way intersectional oppressions shape how students experience hookup culture and sex on campus\, and also how some aspects of hookup culture perpetuate heteronormativity and racist beauty standards. \nHow Can You Contribute?\nWe encourage attendees to participate in an open and safe forum to discuss experiences\, research\, and thoughts about hookup culture. Below are initial questions for discussion. We welcome attendees to think about them and share/discuss with friends in advance: \n\nIs hookup culture a feature of the communities within which you associate?\nHow would you characterize some of the reasons hooking up works for your community?\nHow would you characterize some of the challenges of hooking up?\nIs hookup culture good for relationships?\nHow does hookup culture relate to the information that you have learned about consensual sex and the law?\n\nFacilitators\nWe are thrilled to have two distinguished faculty faciliators to guide the conversation: \nLisa Wade is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Occidental College. She is the author of American Hookup\, which explores the emergence and character of the culture of sex that dominates college campuses today. Read an excerpt at TIME. \nVictoria Marks is a Professor of World Arts and Cultures/Dance\, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs for the School of Arts and Architecture\, and Chair of the Disability Studies minor at UCLA. In 2015\, she taught “Desire on Campus\,” a class that invited undergraduate sorority and fraternity members to use Action Conversation methods to explore the social codes of hooking up. As part of the class\, she co-created the short film Unhooked\, a UCLA documentary on hookup culture. We will screen parts of the film as part of the event! View the trailer below: \n\nRSVP Online to attend:\nhttp://www.csw.ucla.edu/hookup-rsvp\nRegistration is free and refreshments will be provided! \nAccessibility Information\nTHIS IS A FRAGRANCE-FREE EVENT. For the health and safety of all attendees\, please refrain from wearing products that contain fragrances when attending CSW events. Such products include: perfumes\, hair products\, deodorants\, detergents\, etc. For more information\, visit our Events Accessibility Page: https://csw.ucla.edu/event-accessibility. \nCSW EVENTS ARE ACCESSIBLE! If you require accommodations in order for this event to be accessible to you (e.g.\, sign language interpretation\, large print materials\, etc.)\, please contact CSW at csw@csw.ucla.edu at least two weeks prior to the event. \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nBacked by Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion\nDepartment of Sociology\nUCLA Campus Assault Resources and Education (CARE) Program\nLGBTQ Studies Program\nHealthy Campus Initiative\nDivision of Social Sciences

SUMMARY:Chemical Entanglements: Gender and Exposure
DESCRIPTION:May 4-5\, 2017\nUCLA\nFREE and OPEN to the public!\nREGISTRATION NOW OPEN!\nThis symposium will convene a group of scholars\, scientists and community based researchers\, artists\, documentarians\, and policy makers to assess the gendered impacts of (primarily endocrine-disrupting) chemicals on human populations. By marshaling a variety of perspectives—laboratory\, ethnographic\, epidemiological\, and narrative\, this transdisciplinary collaboration will seek to explore how gender has made a difference in the public’s knowledge with regard to the cumulative effects of environmental toxins. Speakers will use methods from across scholarly disciplines to assess the way gendered patterns of exposure contribute to illnesses. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet researchers\, community organizers\, artists\, and innovators who are changing the way we approach: \n\nReproductive justice\, maternal health\, and endocrine disruption\nUrban oil drilling in Los Angeles\nIncome inequality\, environmental health\, and environmental justice\nExposure to indoor air pollution in homes and workplaces\nPesticides\, flame retardants\, and birth defects\nMultiple Chemical Sensitivity\, Toxicant-Induced Loss of Tolerance\, and exposure illness\nToxic personal care and cleaning products\nTraining the next generation of environmental innovators and advocates\n\nTravel Grants are available for non-UCLA graduate students and independent scholars to attend the Symposium!

SUMMARY:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag: "Polar Environmental Discourses: Film\, Politics\, and Oil in the Anthropocene\," Lisa Bloom
DESCRIPTION:Polar Environmental Discourses:  Film\, Politics\, and Oil in the Anthropocene \nBring your lunch and join CSW Research Affiliates for a brown bag research presentation! \nRSVP ONLINE \nTaken from a book project titled Polar Aesthetics in the Anthropocene: Imagining Climate\, Lisa Bloom brings together issues in critical climate change scholarship to examine aspects of feminist and environmentalist polar art in the work of Brenda Longfellow. Focusing on oil drilling in the Alaskan Arctic\, this paper invites us to think about how conventional narratives about oil production and consumption\, science\, gender\, and race\, as well as attitudes towards nature\, technology\, and the wilderness are being reimagined through interactive documentaries in the early 21st century. \nLisa Bloom is the author of Gender on Ice: American Ideologies of Polar Expeditions (University of Minnesota Press\, 1993)\, the first critical book on the Arctic and Antarctic in the US written from a feminist and postcolonial perspective. Her other books include an edited anthology titled With Other Eyes: Looking at Race and Gender in Visual Culture (University of Minnesota Press\,1999) and Jewish Identities in U.S. Feminist Art: Ghosts of Ethnicity. (Routledge\, London\, 2006). She is currently a Research Affiliate at the Center for the Study of Women at UCLA. Her forthcoming book is titled: Imagining Climate: Art and Visual Culture of the Polar Regions in the Anthropocene.

SUMMARY:Sharra Vostral\, "Testing Tampons: Toxic Shock Syndrome\, Feminist Advocates\, and Absorbency Standards"
DESCRIPTION:Part of CSW’s Feminism + the Senses Lecture Series\nRSVP ONLINE: HTTP://WWW.CSW.UCLA.EDU/VOSTRAL\nDuring the 1980s in the aftermath of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)\, the Centers for Disease Control recommended that women use the least absorbent tampons possible\, yet manufacturers did not label boxes with reliable information.  This talk examines the establishment of the Tampon Task Force\, the contested “syngina” synthetic vagina lab apparatus to test tampon absorbency\, and the regulation of  female-specific tampon technologies.   The legacy of these efforts is the standardization of absorbency ratings as well as product labeling\, and evidence of the importance of feminist health activists’ involvement within policy negotiations. \nSharra Vostral is an Associate Professor of History in the College of Liberal Arts at Purdue University\, where she is affiliated with both Women’s\, Gender & Sexuality Studies\, and American Studies. Her research centers upon the history of technology\, specifically gender\, and histories of medical devices and health. Her book\, Under Wraps: A History of Menstrual Hygiene Technology examines the social and technological history of sanitary napkins and tampons\, and the effects of technology upon women’s experiences of menstruation. Her current research explores the 1980 health crisis of Toxic Shock Syndrome and its relationship to tampon technologies. \nShe received her Ph.D. in History at Washington University in St. Louis. She completed her M.A. in American Studies at St. Louis University\, and earned honors in Comparative Religion at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Before coming to Purdue\, she was an Associate Professor in Gender & Women’s Studies and History at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. \n  \nSupported by the Estrin Family Lecture Series Fund\n\nCO-SPONSORS:\nThe Bixby Center on Population and Reproductive Health\nThe Institute for Society and Genetics\nUCLA Department of History\nUCLA Center for Social Medicine and the Humanities

SUMMARY:Thinking Gender 2017: "Imagining Reparations"
DESCRIPTION:Thinking Gender\, Imagining Reparations\n27th Annual Thinking Gender Graduate Student Research Conference\nFebruary 9-10\, 2017\nUCLA Faculty Center\n\nFREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! \nREGISTRATION INFORMATION\n \n\nFeaturing:\n“For the Texas Bama Femme: A Black Fem(me)inist Reading of Beyonce’s ‘Sorry’”\n12:00 PM\, February 9\nCalifornia Room\nPlenary address by  Omise’eke Natasha Tinsley \nProfessor of African and African Diaspora Studies\, University of Texas at Austin \nRespondent: Shana Redmond\, UCLA \n\n“Re-writing the World”\n10:45 AM\, February 10\nCalifornia Room\nPlenary workshop with Nalo Hopkinson \nProfessor of Creative Writing\, UC Riverside \nAward-winning author of Brown Girl in the Ring \n\nFULL CONFERENCE PROGRAM AVAILABLE HERE\nThis year’s conference theme\, Imagining Reparations\, engages contemporary social\, scholarly\, and literary movements that push to reimagine and retheorize what freedom\, justice\, health\, and care can look like. Historically\, reparations have taken financial form with governments recognizing victims of perceived injustice by awarding them money. Such practices have depended on and have defined the law and dominant ideas of justice within states and empires. By contrast\, marginalized groups today are reframing reparations as capable of addressing historical and ongoing abuses\, evident in law itself and manifest in biological\, environmental\, educational\, technological\, institutionalized\, political\, and diplomatic violence. The daring to imagine new forms of reparative justice emerges from raced\, gendered\, and sexualized subjectivities\, which inform movements that devastate the binary between theory and practice in their struggle to be whole. A broad and intersectional investment in reparations challenges the assigning of rights and privileges in the past\, and it is an important tool in recasting the structures that impact our daily lives. \nThinking Gender 2017\, Imagining Reparations\, takes a cue from movements that conceive of violence and reparative justice intersectionally with consequences that shape and are shaped by gender\, sexuality\, race\, class\, ability\, etc. We invite presentations of work from across disciplines that embodies this intersectional ethos and\, in particular\, envision reparations through the lens of gender and sexuality. Conference sessions will include ample time for discussion of work\, emphasizing dialogue discussion\, writing as important modes of conference participation\, and exploring their potential as feminist\, decolonial tools for learning and action. Imagining Reparations aims to create cohesion among a broad range of disciplinary engagements\, theoretical stances\, and practical applications by providing space for thinking together about the role of the academy in theorizing tools for collective liberation from gendered and racialized violence. \nThank you to our Event Co-Sponsors:\nDivision of Social Sciences \nOffice of Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion \nDivision of Humanities \nCritical Race Studies Program \nDepartment of African American Studies \nDisability Studies Program \nInstitute of American Cultures \nLatin American Institute Program on Caribbean Studies \nDepartment of English \nDepartment of World Arts and Cultures/Dance \nDepartment of Comparative Literature \nRalph J.

SUMMARY:Talking Trash: Oral Histories of Food In/Security from the Margins of a Dumpster
DESCRIPTION:Part of Dishing: A Lecture Series on Food\, Feminism\, and the Way We Eat. Video now available on YouTube!\n \nA talk by Rachel Vaughn\, Adjunct Assistant Professor at the UCLA Center for the Study of Women and the UCLA Department of Gender Studies\n\nJoin us after the talk for the Fighting Hunger Fair — your chance to meet UCLA and community groups and researchers working to eliminate hunger and waste. \nRachel Vaughn holds a PhD in American Studies from the University of Kansas. From 2011- 2012\, she was a Fellow in Gender Studies at Oklahoma State University; and was then Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Kansas in the Department of Women\, Gender & Sexuality Studies. Her research engages the intersections of food politics\, food sovereignty\, and feminist environmental theory. By way of her oral history research with scavengers\, foragers\, and dumpster divers of varying food security levels and socio-economic backgrounds\, she explores how the space of the dumpster and the act of diving work as alternative forms of cultural knowledge about food. Her work asks how the labels ‘real\,’ or by default ‘un-real’\, ‘edible’ or ‘inedible’ effect people of varying food (in)securities within the current food systems we consume. Vaughn is the author of a book in progress Talking Trash: Oral Histories of Food In/Security from the Margins of a Dumpster (under review with University of Nebraska Press). \nRSVP HERE! \nCo-sponsored by UCLA Division of Social Sciences\, UCLA Healthy Campus Initiative\, UCLA Department of History\, and UCLA Food Studies Graduate Certificate Program
