SUMMARY:The Fire-Break: Latinx Fire Mitigation Workers and Settler Land Control in Southern California
DESCRIPTION:CULTURE\, POWER\, SOCIAL CHANGE PRESENTS: \nThe Fire-Break: Latinx Fire Mitigation Workers and Settler Land Control in Southern California \nThursday 6.4.26 | Haines Hall 352 | 12:15 PM | Pizza served at noon \nThis presentation discusses the settler practice of managing fire risk to valorize property in Orange County’s wildland urban interface. \nThe presentation draws on four years of ethnographic research with Latinx fire mitigation workers in the chaparral canyon ecologies of Orange County. It also incorporates over three decades of archival materials from the Orange County Fire Authority and Dr. Zarate’s family’s involvement with the County of Orange fire mitigation program. The presentation contends that workers employ Migrant Ecological Knowledge\, a practice grounded in the geographies of dispossession and displacement\, to create forms of care and life in places where personal risks related to health\, legal\, and social precarity accumulate. These affective and social practices amongst workers denaturalize fire management across Southern California as a structure of risk-production that expands settler claims to land through regimes of racialized labor that seek to have Latinx migrants do the work of protecting property from fire and cultural obsolescence. \nSalvador Zarate is an assistant professor in the department of anthropology at UC Irvine. His work dovetails ethnographic research with historical methods and centers on questions of racialized gender\, labor\, and the ecology. His recent work explores Latinx residential gardening\, drought as a science of land domination\, and wildfire as a cultural practice of racial domination and settler conquest. He has published in Anthropology of Work Review\, Journal of Political Ecology\, Feminist Formations\, Catalyst\, Practicing Anthropology\, Latino Studies\, Aztlan\, and others. His co-written book on the politics of doing transformative community research\, Transforming Science\, will be published in May of this year.

SUMMARY:"Legacy": Free Screening by UCLA Film & Television Archive
DESCRIPTION:When: Sunday\, June 28th at 7:00pm \nWhere: Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum \nJoin UCLA Film & Television Archive for a free screening of “Legacy”! \nDirected by Karen Arthur\, a first-time filmmaker\, and independently produced\, “Legacy” confounds 1970s Hollywood’s expectations with the introduction of a new kind of cinematic woman. Bissie (played by Joan Hotchkis) is a woman unraveling under the pressures of a vapid and materialistic society. She stuns audiences with her honesty that is confrontational\, yet heartfelt\, and her vulnerability.

SUMMARY:Climate Change Hates Mothers
DESCRIPTION:How birth workers\, community organizers\, and local elected officials are mobilizing to address maternal marginalization and seek policy. \n\n\n\n\nMonday\, November 2 \n12-1:30 PM \nRolfe Hall\, Room 2125 \n\nAbout the Talk\nToxic exposures. Emergency evacuations. Endocrine disruption. Miscarriage. Threats to healthy pregnancies and safe births. Guilt\, anxiety\, depression\, and grief. Climate change poses unique challenges to the health\, well-being\, and everyday lives of pregnant people\, mothers\, and those who would like to have children. This talk addresses those challenges – and highlights how birth workers\, community organizers\, and local elected officials are mobilizing to address maternal marginalization and seek policy. \nFeaturing\nJade S. Sasser\, PhD is Professor of Environmental Studies in the Department of Society\, Environment\, and Health Equity at the University of California\, Riverside. She received her PhD in Environmental Science\, Policy\, and Management from the University of California\, Berkeley. Her work explores climate change\, maternal health\, and reproductive justice through an intersectional lens. \nHer first book\, On Infertile Ground: Population Control and Women’s Rights in the Era of Climate Change\, was published in 2018 by NYU Press and won the Emory Elliott Book Award. Her second book\, Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question: Deciding Whether to Have Children in an Uncertain Future (UC Press\, 2024)\, analyzes the relationship between climate emotions\, social inequality\, and reproductive anxiety in the U.S. — Dr. Sasser also hosts a podcast of the same name. Her third book\, in progress\, explores the health impacts of climate change on pregnant people and mothers.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Workshop: Asking Different Questions
DESCRIPTION:Feminist Approaches to Research\, Knowledge & Academic Culture With Dr. Sarah McCullough\, UC Davis Feminist Research Institute (FRI) \n\n\n\nJoin the UC Davis Feminist Research Institute for a workshop exploring how feminist science studies can help us recognize and redress systemic biases in research and academic culture. \nFree • Lunch Provided \nDec 3\, 2026 10:30 am – 12:00 pm \nCenter for the Study of Women|Barbra Streisand Center \n1500 Public Affairs\, UCLA \n\nUniversities are often described as impartial sites of knowledge creation. But what counts as a valid research question\, methodology\, or form of evidence is shaped by cultural forces and disciplinary histories. \nThis workshop invites graduate students from all fields to examine the ongoing impacts of eugenics\, colonialism\, and patriarchy in academia—and consider how we can challenge them. \nParticipants will gain: \n\nIntellectual frameworks from feminist science studies\nTools for recognizing systemic bias in research\nStrategies for aligning academic practice with personal values\nApproaches for taking action toward greater equity\nNew ways to strengthen the accuracy\, relevance\, and impact of research\n\nRelated Event \nFaculty & Researcher Workshop: Asking Different Questions on December 3
