SUMMARY:Describing LGBT and Gay Rights: A Longitudinal Analysis of Pro- And Anti-Gay Rights Groups’ Online Messages in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Asia Pacific Center\nDate: Thursday\, March 3\, 2022\nTime: 5:00 PM (PST)\nLocation: Online/Zoom \nREGISTER ONLINE \nTaiwan has become the first Asian country to legalize same-sex spousal rights with the passage of a special law in May 2019. The legalization of same-sex relationships in Taiwan is a highly-contested process\, with pro-and anti-gay rights groups competing with one another to win legitimacy over how even the idea of gay rights should be interpreted. To better understand the different discursive tools deployed by pro- and anti-gay rights activists between November 2013 and March 2020\, I adopt a thematic content analysis approach to generate a codebook and apply it to a corpus that includes Facebook public posts of the pro-gay rights group and anti-gay rights group with the largest number of followers\, respectively. The findings suggest that the pro-gay rights group is more likely to mention frames of anti-discrimination\, equality\, liberty\, and identity-building while their anti-gay rights counterpart relies heavily on frames of morality\, public interests\, democracy\, and anti-elitism. Furthermore\, the pro-and anti-gay rights activists have adopted specific localized framing elements to construct their policy messages\, including “Taiwan-China comparison\,” “indigenous people\,” and “ancestor veneration.” By treating framing as a dynamic process that changes over time\, it becomes possible to observe that activists’ framing patterns have changed in response to policy outcomes\, elite behavior\, and interaction with rival activists. \nShih-chan Dai studies the development of LGBTQ rights in East Asian countries as well as examines how digital technology has reshaped the way politics and activism work nowadays. His research is situated at the intersection of political communication\, social movements\, and LGBTQ politics. He received his PhD in political science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. During his postdoc at UCLA\, Shih-chan Dai is revising his dissertation into different journal articles and working on research topics related to gay rights in East Asia. \nThis event is part of the Asia Pacific Center’s UCLA Taiwan in the World lecture series. The Taiwan in the World lecture series aims to promote and disseminate knowledge about Taiwan’s society\, political system\, social structure\, and institutions in a global context\, and shed light on Taiwan’s political economy\, international relations\, and US-Taiwan-China relations. This series is organized by Taiwan in the World postdoctoral fellow Shih-chan Dai and supported with funding by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles. This lecture is cosponsored by the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, LGBTQ Campus Resource Center\, and Office of Equity\, Diversity & Inclusion.

SUMMARY:'We are not part of your family': Domestic Workers and the International Struggle for Labor Rights and Recognition
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the International Development Studies (International Institute)\nDate: Thursday\, February 17\, 2022\nTime: 2:00 – 3:15 PM (PST)\nLocation: Online/Zoom (registration required) \nREGISTER ONLINE \nEVENT FLYER \nThis lecture will focus on how Latin American Domestic Workers\, through their membership in the International Domestic Workers Federation\, have led the global movement to advance domestic workers’ rights. In particular\, it will share insights about how domestic workers have used grassroots organizing\, strategic alliance building\, and transnational solidarity to secure and enforce one of the most historic victories for domestic workers: C189\, the Domestic Workers Convention of the International Labor Organisation. \nAdriana Paz Ramirez is a labor rights organizer and popular educator based in Mexico and Canada. Originally from Bolivia\, she is the regional coordinator for the Americas for the International Domestic Workers Federation. Prior to that\, she was the senior organizer for the Workers’ Action Centre in Toronto and the gender\, equity\, and women’s empowerment officer at the Solidarity Center in Mexico. She was also the manager of the International Development certificate program for the University of British Columbia\, and co-founder of Justicia for Migrant Workers in British Columbia\, a national grassroots organization advocating for the labor and immigration rights of migrant farm workers. Currently\, Adriana holds an Open Society Fellowship in which she will identify how the strengths of grassroots organizing can be leveraged to tackle the challenges of policy enforcement and implementation\, based on the successes of the Latin American domestic workers movement.

SUMMARY:Taiwan for Her: Gender (In)Equality in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Asia Pacific Center\nDate: Wednesday\, January 19\, 2022\nTime: 5:00 PM (PST)\nLocation: Online/Zoom (Registration Required) \nWhat are the countries that come to mind when you think of gender equality? Most people would be very likely to mention Nordic countries. To many people’s surprise\, Taiwan has progressed tremendously in narrowing the gender gap\, especially when compared to other Asian countries. Current President Tsai Ing-wen was elected as the first female leader in Taiwan in 2016 and won reelection in 2020. The share of seats in parliament held by women is about 40% in Taiwan\, which is roughly equal to Denmark and higher than the U.S. (27%). However\, despite these advances in women’s political participation\, it is unclear to what extent the increase in female representation has translated into improvements in women’s social and economic status in Taiwan. Therefore\, we invite Director and Associate Professor Weiting Wu in Graduate Institute for Gender Studies at Shih Hsin University to discuss the following topics: what Taiwan has achieved in gender equality and marriage equality; what factors explain Taiwan’s progress; furthermore\, what challenges and difficulties women in Taiwan still face from an intersectional perspective. \nWeiting Wu is an associate professor and the director of the Graduate Institute for Gender Studies at Shih Hsin University. She received her Ph.D. from the Department of Political Science at City University of New York. Her research areas are social movement\, gender politics\, and state-society relations. \nThis event is part of the Asia Pacific Center’s Taiwan in the World lecture series.\nThe UCLA Taiwan in the World lecture series aims to promote and disseminate knowledge about Taiwan’s society\, political system\, social structure\, and institutions in a global context\, and shed light on Taiwan’s political economy\, international relations\, and US-Taiwan-China relations. This series is organized by Taiwan in the World postdoctoral fellow Shih-chan Dai and supported with funding by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Sewing Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Sewing Intimacies\n \nOrganized by the American Indian Studies Center\nDATE: Tuesday\, November 30\, 2021\nTIME: 1 PM\nLOCATION: Virtual/Zoom (REGISTRATION REQUIRED) \nThis webinar showcases the work of the Sewing Intimacies Project – a project encompassing a group of Dakota and Lakota women who collectively embarked on a journey to create jingle dresses this past summer. In the wake of COVID-19 and the ongoing violence from the settler state\, the jingle dress has continued to serve as a catalyst toward healing and resistance for Native communities across Indian country. Though the dress originates with the Ojibwe people\, the power it garners to bring communities together to overcome trauma is palpable. In this webinar\, members of the Sewing Intimacies group will come together to discuss their experiences making the dress and the elements of healing and community-building that are facilitated in the process of crafting. Using a native-feminist framework grounded in theories of Oceti Šakowin relationality\, this project asks how crafting serves as a conduit to cultivating community-based resistance in spite of the violences enacted by settler colonialism. As a virtual participation-observation project this event will also discuss the methodological implications of the project as it takes place under the conditions of pandemic. \nParticipants: \n\nDr. Mishuana Goeman\, Project Advisor\nJessica Fremland (Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota)\, PhD Student – Gender Studies\nNancy Bordeaux (Sicangu Lakota)\, Sewing Intimacies Group Facilitator\nClementine Bordeaux (Oglala/Sicangu Lakota)\, PhD Candidate – Worlds Arts and Cultures\n\n\nThe Auntie Sewing Squad\nOrganized by the Asian American Studies Department\nDATE: POSTPONED TO WINTER 2022 (DATE TBD)\nTIME: 3:30 PM\nLOCATION: Virtual/Zoom \nJoin us for this event celebrating the Auntie Sewing Squad\, a massive mutual-aid network of volunteers who have been providing free masks in the wake of US government failures during the COVID-19 pandemic. \nFeaturing: \nAsian American Studies MA and Gender Studies PhD alum Preeti Sharma and co-editors Mai-Linh Hong and Chrissy Yau\, discussing their recently released book The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask-Making\, Radical Care\, and Racial Justice (UC Press). \nScreening of “Auntie Kristina\,” a short film about the Auntie Sewing Squad and a discussion with the filmmaker\, Asian American Studies MA alum Hannah Joo.

What is the role of narrative in determining who is considered a refugee and who gets labeled an economic migrant? Why is it important to respect refugees’ dignity\, and what are best practices for doing so? These are questions that Dina Nayeri explores in her award-winning book of creative nonfiction\, The Ungrateful Refugee (2019). This book interweaves Nayeri’s experiences as a child refugee from Iran with her advocacy for contemporary refugees. During this event\, Nayeri will engage in conversation with Dr. Evyn Lê Espiritu Gandhi about her book and how it continues to resonate in the current moment of mass forced displacement from Afghanistan\, Haiti\, Syria\, and Central America\, to name just a few. This event kicks off the UCLA International Institute’s year-long series\, “Global Racial Justice and the Everyday Politics of Crisis and Hope\,” continuing conversations inspired by the Movement for Black Lives and the long history of interconnected struggles for racial justice in the context of global histories of colonialism\, imperialism and internationalism. \nDina Nayeri is the author of two novels and a book of creative nonfiction\, The Ungrateful Refugee (2019)\, winner of the Geschwister Scholl Preis and finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize\, the Kirkus Prize\, and Elle Grand Prix des Lectrices\, and called by The Guardian “a work of astonishing\, insistent importance.” Her essay of the same name was one of The Guardian’s most widely read long reads in 2017\, and is taught in schools and anthologized around the world. A 2019-2020 Fellow at the Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination in Paris\, and winner of the 2018 UNESCO City of Literature Paul Engle Prize\, Nayeri has won a National Endowment for the Arts literature grant\, the O. Henry Prize\, and Best American Short Stories\, among other honors. Her work has been published in 20+ countries and in The New York Times\, The Guardian\, The Washington Post\, The New Yorker\, Granta\, and many other publications.

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:Imagining the Political: Vernacular Idioms of Sexuality in India
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Department of Asian American Studies and the UCLA Asian American Studies Center\nDate: Tuesday\, March 2\, 2021\nTime: 6:00 – 7:15 PM\nLocation: Online/Zoom (RSVP) \nProfessor Navaneetha Mokkil will discuss her new book\, Unruly Figures\, which navigates the pulsating links between subjectivity\, political activism and the world-making capacity of cultural practices in a non-metropolitan region in India. It focuses on the non-linear figurations of the sex worker and the lesbian in Kerala\, a state in Southern India\, and the fractured processes of staging the politics of sexuality. The book moves back and forth from the post-1990s to the pre-1990s interlinking different forms\, texts\, genres and events in order to show how sexual subjects are not finished portraits\, nor silenced bodies eager to claim visibility and recognition. Rather\, the transactions between the subject and the figure point to the breaks in the conception of a cohesive\, visible and agential political actor. \nNavaneetha Mokkil teaches at the Center for Women’s Studies\, Jawaharlal Nehru University\, Delhi. She is currently Charles Wallace India Trust Fellow at the University of Edinburgh.

SUMMARY:The Feminist War on Crime: The Unexpected Role of Women’s Liberation in Mass Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Critical Race Studies at UCLA School of Law\nDATE: Tuesday\, March 2\, 2021 \nTIME: 12:15 PM – 1:30 PM \nLOCATION: Online/Zoom \nEvent Details | RSVP for Zoom link \nAya Gruber\, author and Professor of Law at the University of Colorado Law School\, and Jennifer M. Chacón\, Professor of Law and CRS core faculty member at UCLA Law School\, will be discussing Gruber’s new book\, The Feminist War on Crime: The Unexpected Role of Women’s Liberation in Mass Incarceration. \nAbout the book: Many feminists grapple with the problem of hyper-incarceration in the United States\, yet commentators on gender crime continue to assert that criminal law is not tough enough. This punitive impulse\, prominent legal scholar Aya Gruber argues\, is dangerous and counterproductive. In their quest to secure women’s protection from domestic violence and rape\, American feminists have become soldiers in the war on crime by emphasizing white female victimhood\, expanding the power of police and prosecutors\, touting the problem-solving power of incarceration\, and diverting resources toward law enforcement and away from marginalized communities. Deploying vivid cases and unflinching analysis\, Gruber documents the failure of the state to combat sexual and domestic violence through law and punishment. Zero-tolerance anti-violence law and policy tend to make women less safe and more fragile. Mandatory arrests\, no-drop prosecutions\, forced separation\, and incarceration embroil poor women of color in a criminal justice system that is historically hostile to them. This carceral approach exacerbates social inequalities by diverting more power and resources toward a fundamentally flawed criminal justice system\, further harming victims\, perpetrators\, and communities alike. In order to reverse this troubling course\, Gruber contends that we must abandon the conventional feminist wisdom\, fight violence against women without reinforcing the American prison state\, and use criminalization as a technique of last—not first—resort.
