SUMMARY:Beyond Barbie
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive \nWhen: April 6 – June 8\nWhere: Billy Wilder Theater\, Hammer Museum \nFree | No advance reservations. Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come\, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. \nWriter Isabel Cristo describes the essence of girlhood as a “before time\,” untouched by the weighty choices of adulthood — marriage\, careers\, caretaking. Though often disrupted by reality\, girlhood remains a space of unfiltered potential\, free from feminism’s historical burdens. Cinema has long confined it to familiar narratives\, typically shaped by a girl’s longing for male validation. This series seeks to redefine coming-of-age narratives about girlhood by showcasing films made mostly by women filmmakers from across the globe whose work challenges conventions and is united in their shared focus on a girl’s desire to know and express herself. By foregrounding a protagonist’s self-discovery and agency\, these narratives insist that a girl’s psyche — no matter how wounded or raw — is worth exploring. Infused with rare\, aching empathy\, they illuminate feminine characters whose multi-dimensional stories have too often been absent from cinema. Through them\, girlhood emerges as complex\, vibrant and inherently cinematic. \nLearn more.

SUMMARY:Listening to the Dead: Methods of Studying Genocide
DESCRIPTION:Although Genocide Studies is an academic discipline that researches genocide\, Genocide Studies—in its institutionalization—is not necessarily a study of the dead. The crime was codified in 1948 by the United Nations Genocide Convention\, however\, Zoé Samudzi writes both that genocide’s designation as crime is “probably the least important thing about it” and that “genocide the process is not necessarily the same as genocide the crime.” \n\n\n\nAgainst empirical and taxonomical capture of mass death by international law and its tools of assessment are the ethnopolitical philosophies that register humanity\, personhood\, life and death in stark contrast and contradiction. \nSamudzi’s lecture engages her transnational grammar of wandering (after Sarah Jane Cervenak’s description of “the enactment of black female philosophical desire”) through which the image\, language\, ecology\, and ancestral responsibility provide a state-illegible but community-oriented conception of intergenerational loss. \n\n\n\nZoé Samudzi\nis the Charles E. Scheidt Visiting Assistant Professor in Genocide Studies and Genocide Prevention at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University. She is also a Global Blackness Research Fellow at the Johannesburg Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of Johannesburg and a fellow with African Museums and Heritage Restitution. She is also a writer and an associate editor with Parapraxis Magazine.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Care without Pathology How Trans- Health Activists are Changing Medicine
DESCRIPTION:When: Wednesday\, January 29\, 2025 \nBook Talk: 3–4:30 pm \nReception: 4:30–5:30 pm \nWhere: Hershey Salon (Hershey Hall 158) \nSeating is first come first served. \nCare without Pathology examines the transnational emergence of trans health as an institutionalizing field and public good. It argues that the field of trans health can be characterized as a struggle between paternalistic and pathologizing modes of care\, on the one hand\, and the notion of “care without pathology” on the other. The book suggests that trans health movements—alongside reproductive justice\, disability justice\, and others—have mobilized care without pathology to transform health politics. Drawing on ethnographic and document-based data centered in New York City and Buenos Aires\, Care without Pathology examines how activists and care providers across the Americas work to change the protocols\, governing logics\, and distributive arguments underpinning trans health as a field. \nIt follows activists and providers as they grapple with diagnoses\, economic accessibility\, population health\, austerity politics\, racialized politics of care and debt\, colonial regimes of knowledge\, and depathologizing demands. Care without Pathology argues that trans health is far from being an exceptional or unusual form of health care. Rather\, its constitutive debates are at the heart of broader contemporary transformations related to biomedicine and health politics writ large. \nAbout the author: Christoph Hanssmann is an Assistant Professor of Gender\, Sexuality and Women’s Studies at the University of California\, Davis. \nCosponsored by:\nCSW|Streisand Center \nUCLA LGBTQ Studies \nUCLA Gender Studies \nUCLA Latin American Institute \nUCLA Williams Institute

SUMMARY:Webinar: The French Army and Mobile Field Brothels: Algeria\, France\, Indochina (1939-1962)
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThe question of Mobile Field Brothels (Bordels Militaires de Campagne or BMC) is not new\, nor of course is it specific to contemporary colonial contexts\, as we see in the global history of prostitution dating back times of antiquity. Moreover\, it goes without saying that militaries (in times of both peace and war) and prostitution are intimately connected\, yesterday\, today and doubtless tomorrow\, as we currently see in certain contemporary situations in sub-Saharan Africa\, the Middle East\, Asia and the Balkans\, including within the United Nations Peace Corps. Nevertheless\, the BMC have a particular connotation within the racialized contexts of the French Colonial Second Empire (1830-1962)\, as much as in French Algeria during colonization and the Algerian war (1954-1962) as in metropolitan France and the occupied zones during the Second World War (1939-1947). This is as a result of the presence within the army of colonial troops from the Maghreb (especially those of the Algerian “Tirailleurs” and the Moroccan “Goumiers”)\, as well as in French Indochina during the decolonization war (1946-1954) in which these same soldiers were also largely mobilized for « peacekeeping » operations which quickly dissolved into armed conflict. Using these three different colonial situations and these three territories – Algeria\, Metropolitan France\, and French Indochina—within the above time frames\, we will attempt to shed light on the BMC systems of the French army. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \n \nChristelle Taraud is a historian and feminist specializing in women\, gender and sexuality in a colonial context\, and in gender-based violence (GBV) and feminicide from a global perspective\, which has led her to coin the concept of the “feminicide continuum”. She is Senior Lecturer at NYU Paris and associate member of the Centre d’histoire du XIXe siècle (Paris I-Paris IV). Her books include La Prostitution coloniale (Payot\, 2003 and 2009) and Amour interdit. Prostitution\, marginality and colonialism (Payot\, 2012). She has also co-edited Sexe\, race et colonies (La Découverte\, 2018) and Sexualités\, identités et corps colonisés (CNRS Editions\, 2019) and edited Féminicides: Une Histoire mondiale (La Découverte\, 2022). Her next book\, Histoire des sexualités en France\, XIXe-XXIe siècle\, will be published by Armand Colin in autumn 2024. \n  \nSponsor(s): Center for Near Eastern Studies\, Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies\, UCLA Center for the Study of Women

SUMMARY:Creating Inclusive Sociotechnical Systems: Classification\, Inequality\, and Expertise in Epilepsy Care
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for an enlightening talk by Dr. Megh Marathe on Inclusive Sociotechnical Systems: Classification\, Inequality\, and Expertise in Epilepsy Care event. \nRegister Here.\nDESCRIPTION \nThis talk examines how classification amplifies or alleviates the exclusion of marginalized people in healthcare. Through the case of epilepsy\, the talk shows how reductionist classifications lead to narrow definitions of wellbeing and reinstate gendered\, racist\, classist\, and ableist hierarchies. These findings advance our understanding of how experts navigate classificatory decisions and of technology’s role in amplifying inequality and how to work towards a more just society. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nMegh Marathe is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Media & Information (ComArtSci) and the Center for Bioethics & Social Justice (College of Human Medicine). Their research seeks to foster inclusion in expert practices and technologies by centering the perspectives of marginalized people. They do this by studying the experiences and practices of multiple stakeholders — doctors and patients\, citizens and civic officials — that is\, laypeople and professionals\, people who are marginalized as well as those in powerful positions\, to generate critical theory and practical interventions for inclusive practice and technology design. Marathe adopts an ethnographic approach that is inflected by their computer science training and software industry experience. \nMarathe’s interests are in science and technology studies\, information studies\, and medical anthropology. They are currently examining the social implications of therapeutic brain implants and the inclusion of gender-diverse people in data systems (and the lack thereof)\, in addition to developing their research on epilepsy diagnosis and treatment. \nMarathe’s work has been published in prestigious information and social science venues including Transactions of the ACM in Human-Computer Interaction (TOCHI)\, Medical Anthropology Quarterly\, PACM-HCI (CSCW)\, CHI\, Time & Society\, and ICTD\, winning a CHI Best Paper Award. They received a PhD in information from the University of Michigan\, a master’s degree in computer science from the University of Toronto\, and a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering from the University of Mumbai. Prior to MSU\, Marathe was President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Informatics at the University of California\, Irvine. \nDATE & TIME \nTuesday\, Nov. 4th \n2:00 PM – 3:00 PM \nLOCATION \nCSW | Streisand Center \n1500 Public Affairs Building\, \nUCLA Campus \n  \nReception to follow with light refreshments. \nRelated document: DR_MEGH_MARATHE_Flyer \nSponsor(s): UCLA Department of Information Studies\, UCLA Center for Critical Internet Inquiry\, UCLA Center for the Study of Women | Barbara Streisand Center

SUMMARY:Perpetrator as Victim: Putin's War in Ukraine and Criticism of Title IX
DESCRIPTION:Joy Neumeyer on her new book\, A Survivor’s Education: Women\, Violence\, and the Stories We Don’t Tell\, in conversation with Jared McBride\, UCLA History.\n \nRegister      Microsoft      Google\nThe Center for European and Russian Studies\, in cosponsorship with the Department of Slavic\, East European and Eurasian Languages and Cultures\, UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy\, and UCLA Center for the Study of Women – Barbra Streisand Center\, invites you to a book talk with Joy Neumeyer to discuss her book\,  A Survivor’s Education: Women\, Violence\, and the Stories We Don’t Tell (2024). The talk will be followed by discussion with Professor Jared McBride\, UCLA Department of History. This book talk will take place at Bunche Hall Room 10383 on  October 30th at 4 PM. Register now! \nAbout the Book\n\nIn this poignant self-investigation\, historian and journalist Joy Neumeyer explores how violence against women is portrayed\, perceived\, and adjudicated today. Interweaving the harrowing account of the abuse she experienced as a graduate student at Berkeley with those of others who faced violence on campus and beyond\, Neumeyer offers a startling look at how the hotly-debated Title IX system has altered university politics and culture\, and uncovers the willful misremembrance that enables misconduct on scales large and small. Deeply researched\, daringly inquisitive\, and resonant for our times\, A Survivor’s Education reveals the entanglement of storytelling\, abuse\, and power–and how we can balance narrative and evidence in our attempts to determine what “really” happened. \n\n\nAbout the Author\nJoy Neumeyer is a journalist and historian of Russia and Eastern Europe. She received a PhD in History from the University of California\, Berkeley and was a Fulbright Fellow in Russia and a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence. She has also worked as a reporter in Moscow and Warsaw. Her writing has appeared in publications including The New York Times\, The Nation\, Foreign Policy\, The Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, New Left Review\, The Los Angeles Review of Books\, Aeon\, The Baffler\, Vice\, ARTNews\, the Guardian\, Tablet Magazine\, The Moscow Times\, Calvert Journal\, and Cat Fancy. \n\n\n\nHer first book\, A Survivor’s Education: Women\, Violence\, and the Stories We Don’t Tell—an investigative memoir about abuse and the tension between narrative and evidence in understanding the past—was released on August 20\, 2024 by PublicAffairs. \nAbout the Discussant\nJared McBride is a historian who examines Russia\, Ukraine\, and Eastern Europe in the 20th century with a focus on nationalist movements\, mass violence\, interethnic conflict\, and war crimes prosecution\, related to both the Second World War and Cold War periods. He also has a strong interest in the politics of archival research and access to freedom of information. His research has been supported by the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation\, the Fulbright-Hays Foundation\, and the Social Science Research Council\, among others\, and he has published in Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, Journal of Genocide Research\, The Carl Beck Papers\, Ab Imperio\, Kritika\, and Slavic Review. \nPrior to starting at UCLA\, Dr. McBride held post-doctoral positions at Columbia University\, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum\, the Kennan Institute\, and USC’s Shoah Foundation. Over the past five years\, he has directed and instructed “Political Violence in the Modern World\,” a year-long Cluster course that one thousand first-year students have completed at UCLA.
