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: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.
