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.

SUMMARY:"Porosity and Reciprocity\," European Languages and Transcultural Studies Graduate Conference
DESCRIPTION:Porosity and Reciprocity\n1st Annual European Languages and Transcultural Studies Graduate Student Conference\nOrganized by the UCLA Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies\nDate: October25\, 2019 \nTime: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM \nLocation: 306 Royce Hall \nThis conference explores issues of cultural borders and exchange and will feature a roundtable discussion featuring scholars who specialize in gender and women’s studies. \nAn ever-growing body of scholarship across disciplines and concentrations has underscored the long history of cultural exchange that challenges conventional notions of national and cultural sovereignty. Recent events\, however\, have challenged scholars to problematize\, redefine\, and expand upon prior attempts to register the ways in which national and cultural identity\, and especially the perennial question of borders\, are increasingly shaped by a protean political and social landscape. Bringing together graduate students and scholars from French\, German\, Italian\, and Scandinavian studies\, this conference aims to explore the notions of reciprocity and porosity as they are found within and/or between these cultures throughout history and in the present. Questions of interest include: How are the literary and artistic traditions of these cultures shaped by internal diversity? How have the encounter and exchange with other cultures contributed to the formation of these traditions? How do these cultures conceive of and represent their borders? How do they conceive of and represent the other? Mindful not only of the diversity that exists between these cultures\, but also of the diversity that exists within them\, how do each of these cultures belong to and shape historical and contemporary ideas of Europe?

SUMMARY:The OpEd Project presents "Write to Change the World"
DESCRIPTION:CSW is  thrilled to announce that we are partnering with The OpEd Project to bring a special day-long seminar to UCLA!\n\n\n\nLearn how to write\, pitch\, and publish op-eds; assert your expertise; and increase the range of voices and ideas that we hear from in our media.\n\n  \n“Write to Change the World” will bring emerging voices together for an interactive day of live experiments around expertise\, credibility\, ideas and impact. The seminar is designed to test assumptions about our individual knowledge\, and what it takes to be influential on a large scale. We explore the source of credibility; the patterns and elements of persuasion; the difference between being “right” and being effective; how to preach beyond the choir; and how to think bigger about what you know—to have more impact in the world. Participants emerge with concrete results\, including the outline for an op-ed. The seminar is open to everyone–scholars\, students\, entrepreneurs\, activists\, nonprofit leaders\, executives\, writers and righteous thinkers across the political spectrum. Participants leave with access to a network of high-level journalist-mentors for follow-up support. Curriculum parallels a portion of The OpEd Project’s year-long faculty fellowship program at leading institutions nationwide\, including Yale\, Northwestern\, Columbia\, Cornell\, Dartmouth\, The Ford Foundation and others.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate: May 19\, 2019\nTime: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM\nLocation: 2125 Rolfe Hall\nPre-registration required. Register online.\n\nScholarship spots may be available! Contact chelsea@theopedproject.org for more details.

SUMMARY:Gender and Water: Research Masterclass with Andrea Ballestero
DESCRIPTION:Part of Gender and Water\nAt this Research Masterclass\, students from the Gender and Water Research team will discuss research findings and forthcoming papers with visiting facilitator Andrea Ballestero\, who will provide commentary and feedback.  Observers are welcome. \n\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. \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. 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. \nDate: Friday\, May 17\, 2019 \nTime: 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM \nLocation: Will be provided to confirmed attendees. \nRSVP Required: Please fill out the online form. Space is limited and submitting the form does not guarantee a spot at this event.

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. In her earlier career she presented papers at local\, regional\, and national meetings and published essays and reviews for reference works\, collections\, and journals focusing on philosophical writers and literary writers on philosophical themes. As research affiliate of the CSW she roams the nineteenth-century archives turning up women philosophers wherever she goes. \nAttendees are invited to bring their lunch to this brown bag talk.

SUMMARY:Wayward Lives\, Beautiful Experiments: Saidiya Hartman in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the UCLA Department of Gender Studies \nSaidiya Hartman will discuss her book\, Wayward Lives\, Beautiful Experiments\, which explores the ways young black women created forms of intimacy and kinship indifferent to the dictates of respectability\, and outside the bounds of law.

Combining historical analysis and literary imagination\, Hartman recovers radical aspirations and resurgent desires. She will read from the book and will also be in conversation with UCLA faculty\, to be followed by an open discussion. \nAbout the Speaker\nSaidiya Hartman – Professor of English and Comparative Literature\, Columbia University. Saidiya Hartman is a professor at Columbia University specializing in African-American literature and history.

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.

SUMMARY:Alternative Narratives in Israeli Art: Gender\, Identity and Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Image: New Victims by Zoya Cherkassky \nOrganized by the UCLA Y&S Nazarian Center for Israel Studies\nThe tremendous diversity of Israeli society\, comprised of Jews from around the world\, Palestinian Arabs and Druze (among others) with differing national ties\, religious beliefs and cultural mores\, leads to a complex nexus of overlapping and often conflicting affiliations and identities. \nIn this symposium\, art scholars and artists will examine various works of contemporary Israeli art to understand the multiple identities and varieties of experience – Jewish\, Palestinian\, immigrant\, female\, male\, LGBTQ – which are unique to Israel and also\, in many ways\, universal. The artists will discuss how their artwork reflects personal narratives regarding national\, ethnic and gender identity\, and dynamics of inclusion-exclusion. \nAbout the Speakers\nRaida Adon – Born in Akko in northern Israel to a Jewish father and a Muslim mother\, Adon’s artworks emerge from her complex biography\, addressing conflicted nations and the relationship between two interrelated societies. The image of the woman is a recurring motif in her work\, as a metaphor for the post-1948 geographic space of Israel/Palestine and reflecting the artist’s own quest for rootedness\, while alluding to many refugee crises. Adon is a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. She has shown work and performances at museums as well as theatre festivals around the world. \nGannit Ankori – Prof. Ankori of Brandeis University is an internationally-recognized art historian who has published widely on contemporary art from a global perspective\, with emphasis on issues pertaining to gender\, national identity\, religion\, trauma\, exile\, hybridity and their manifestations in the creative arts. She is the author of Palestinian Art (Reaktion Books\, London\, 2006) and has curated numerous exhibitions on Israeli and Palestinian art. She is also internationally renowned for her books\, articles\, and exhibitions on the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. \nZoya Cherkassky – Acclaimed Israeli artist Zoya Cherkassky was born in Kiev in 1976 and immigrated with her family to Israel in 1991. Her paintings address her personal experiences and the collective experience the million-strong Russian immigrant influx to Israel – often marked by unflattering stereotypes – and her conflicted Jewish identity.

SUMMARY:Lara K. Schubert\, "Workshopping Postsecular Feminist Subjectivity: An Alternative Inspired by Cambodian Women"
DESCRIPTION:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag \nDATE: Friday\, January 18 \nTIME: 12-1:30 PM \nLOCATION: Rolfe 2125 \nParticipants are welcome to bring a snack or lunch. \nCambodian women religious provide insights into rethinking subjectivity.  These women experience empowerment while they subscribe to the restrictive rules of their communities\, including gender-specific stipulations. In Schubert’s research in Cambodia\, her interlocutors demonstrate subjectivity that is not based on freedom and liberation\, which are prioritized in many women’s organizations. Her larger project\, “Retheorizing Women’s Empowerment with Insights from Cambodian Women\,” aims to enhance the concepts of empowerment employed by many women’s organizations and in the realm of development in general.  In this talk\, Schubert will present one alternative to this historically feminist liberationist subjectivity—postsecular feminist subjectivity.  This will include a presentation of various ways of defining postsecular feminism\, considering resources from thinkers who seek inspiration from different traditions—both Judith Butler and Rosi Braidotti.  This is a workshopping session to think with all participants and together to explore possibilities. \nLara K. Schubert received her PhD in Religion in 2016 from Claremont Graduate University and is currently a Research Affiliate at UCLA’s Center for the Study of Women.  She is also a Lecturer in Liberal Studies and Women\, Gender and Sexuality Studies at California State University\, Los Angeles.  She taught courses in Religious Studies at Pomona College and the Ethnic and Women’s Studies department at Cal Poly Pomona. She was awarded a Fulbright Grant for her field work in Cambodia.

SUMMARY:Raquel Medina\, "Gendering Alzheimer's Disease: Mothers\, Daughters\, and Sisters"
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Raquel Medina\, Senior Lecturer in Spanish and Director of CinemAGEnder International Research Network\, Aston University\nOrganized by the UCLA Department of Gender Studies\nDate: Wednesday\, January 16\, 2019\nTime: 3:00 – 5:00 PM\nLocation: 2125 Rolfe Hall \nThis presentation will provide a comparative and cross-cultural analysis of cinematic representations of Alzheimer’s disease in several non-mainstream films that employ it as a trope to explore age and gender. Contrary to mainstream productions\, films such as Pandora’s Box (Turkey 2008)\, the Good Herbs (Mexico 2010)\, Old Cats (Chile 2010)\, Poetry (Korea 2010)\, and A Separation (Iran (2011) offer important counter-narratives to the feminization of Alzheimer’s disease as decay. This talk aims to shed light on how these counter-narratives offer feminist/intersectional perspectives on Alzheimer’s disease. Concepts of womanhood\, sisterhood\, mothering\, and matrophobia in these films will be linked in this discussion to crucial issues such as solidarity\, empathy\, assisted suicide\, suicide\, and violence against women. \nCo-Sponsored by:\n\nCenter for the Study of Women

SUMMARY:Until and Unless\, Film Screening and Discussion with Dr. Soma Roy\, Sintu Bagui and Nitai Giri
DESCRIPTION:This event will entail the screening of Until and Unless\, a short documentary film addressing the queer and trans rights movement in India. \nSet in West Bengal a year before the historic decision to repeal India’s anti-sodomy law Penal Code 377\, “Until and Unless”\, follows the story of four individuals and the impact of systemic oppression via India’s legislative system on their lives. The film features Sintu\, a transwoman community leader raised in the Sheoraphuli red-light district; Nitu\, a transwoman sex worker who lives a dual identity as a man named Nitai; Lovely\, a Koti person who lives a closeted life while working in an office environment\, and Pratap\, a trans teen still navigating her identity. Through juxtaposing their stories with interviews from lawyers and activists working to oppose these laws\, the film shows the lived consequences of state and social violence on community self-representations. \nThe documentary was shot a year ago before the recent landmark Supreme Court decision to repeal of the colonial law\, IPC 377\, thereby decriminalizing homosexuality. The event will also feature a Q&A session with the Bengali sex-worker and trans activist co-creators of the film. \nSpeakers:\nDr. Soma Roy\, Sintu Bagui and Nitai Giri from Anandam\, the organization for transgender sex workers in West Bengal\, India \nCo-sponsored by the UCLA Center for India and South Asia
