SUMMARY:Sami Schalk\, "Bodyminds Reimagined: Disability\, Race\, and Gender in Black Women's Speculative Fiction"
DESCRIPTION:Bodyminds Reimagined: Disability\, Race\, and Gender in Black Women’s Speculative Fiction\nBook Talk with Dr. Sami Schalk\, Assistant Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\nDate: Wednesday\, October 17\nTime: 2:30 – 4:00 PM\nLocation: UCLA Powell Library\, East Rotunda \nThis event is wheelchair accessible and will have an ASL Interpreter \nIn Bodyminds Reimagined Sami Schalk traces how black women’s speculative fiction complicates the understanding of bodyminds—the intertwinement of the mental and the physical—in the context of race\, gender\, and (dis)ability. Bridging black feminist theory with disability studies\, Schalk demonstrates that this genre’s political potential lies in the authors’ creation of bodyminds that transcend reality’s limitations. She reads (dis)ability in neo-slave narratives by Octavia Butler (Kindred) and Phyllis Alesia Perry (Stigmata) not only as representing the literal injuries suffered under slavery\, but also as a metaphor for the legacy of racial violence. The fantasy worlds in works by N. K. Jemisin\, Shawntelle Madison\, and Nalo Hopkinson—where werewolves have obsessive-compulsive-disorder and blind demons can see magic—destabilize social categories and definitions of the human\, calling into question the very nature of identity. In these texts\, as well as in Butler’s Parable series\, able-mindedness and able-bodiedness are socially constructed and upheld through racial and gendered norms. Outlining (dis)ability’s centrality to speculative fiction\, Schalk shows how these works open new social possibilities while changing conceptualizations of identity and oppression through nonrealist contexts. \nThis event is sponsored by UCLA African-American Studies\, the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, UCLA Disability Studies\, UCLA Department of English\, and UCLA Department of Gender Studies. \n

SUMMARY:Hannah Kosstrin\, "Honest Bodies: Methods for Transnational Dance Analysis"
DESCRIPTION:Honest Bodies: Methods for Transnational Dance Analysis\nBook talk by Hannah Kosstrin\, Ohio State University\nOrganized by the UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance\nDate: October 9\, 2018 \nTime: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nLocation: 230 Kaufman Hall \nAnna Sokolow’s choreography circulated American modernist and communist ideologies through predominantly Jewish channels of the international Left between the 1930s and 1960s. In this talk\, Kosstrin highlights how Sokolow’s body as a Jewish\, gendered site determined her relationship to social politics in the dance landscapes of New York\, Mexico City\, and Tel Aviv in which she and her dance companies participated. Kosstrin introduces her framework for transnational dance analysis\, “honest bodies\,” and how it exposes cultural- and dance-based kinesthetic influences that implicated Sokolow and her movement practices in global dance modernism and its choreographic discourses. \nDr. Hannah Kosstrin is Assistant Professor in the Department of Dance at The Ohio State University and affiliated with the Melton Center for Jewish Studies and Center for Slavic and East European Studies. She is author of Honest Bodies: Revolutionary Modernism in the Dances of Anna Sokolow (Oxford UP\, 2017). \nCo-sponsors:\n\nYounes and Soraya Nazarian Center for Israel Studies\nAlan D.

SUMMARY:Representing the Sex Industries
DESCRIPTION:Representing the Sex Industries\nWith Dr. Beth Ribet\, Co-Director of Repair\nDate: Tuesday\, May 15\, 2018 \nTime: 4:00 – 6:00 PM \nLocation: UCLA School of Law\, Room 3467 \nIn this lecture and dialogue\, Dr. Beth Ribet\, who will be introduced by Professor Claudia Peña\, will address the framing and representation of people in systems of prostitution in popular media\, academic theory\, political discourse\, and in the criminal justice system. Within this discussion\, Dr. Ribet will explore the contemporary politics of sex trafficking rhetoric\, and will specifically introduce analysis of the recent framing\, in right-wing media\, of Donald Trump as an anti-trafficking hero supposedly responsible for the rescue of trafficked children and women. She will also delve into the history and ramifications of the dichotomy between the terms “sex work” and “sex trafficking”\, and will identify the need for feminist\, race-conscious analysis and interventions to address the relationship between whiteness\, white women\, and pimping in the United States. Dr. Ribet’s lecture will conclude with discussion of the hyper-vulnerability of sexually exploited youth and adults\, and the prospects for advancing survivor-driven approaches to comprehending and naming the sex industries. Discussion and commentary will follow by Jyoti Nanda\, Binder Clinical Teaching Fellow at UCLA School of Law. \nOrganized by Repair. Co-sponsored by CSW\, UCLA Department of Gender Studies\, and the UCLA Law Youth and Justice Clinic. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Kristine Gunnell\, "Grantmaking for  Systemic Change: Daughters of Charity\, Seton Institute\, and  Alleviating Poverty in the Global South\, 1985-2010"
DESCRIPTION:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag Talk\nA talk by Kristine Gunnell\, Research Affiliate\, UCLA Center for the Study of Women\nCommitted to easing suffering wherever they find it\, Daughters of Charity in the western United States founded Seton Institute for International Development in 1985. Through its fundraising and in-kind distribution programs\, the institute offered targeted support for Catholic sisters engaged in primary health care activities in Africa\, Asia\, and Latin America. A case study of faith-based non-profits\, the institute’s history illustrates Catholic efforts to strengthen transnational ties among sisters\, while also promoting practices to spur systemic change to reduce poverty in local communities throughout the Global South. \nKristine Gunnell is a research affiliate at the UCLA Center for the Study of Women. Gunnell’s book\, Daughters of Charity: Women\, Religious Mission\, and Hospital Care in Los Angeles\, 1856-1927 (DePaul University Vincentian Studies Institute\, 2013) illustrates the innovative ways that these Catholic sisters adapted to the changing demands of the emerging hospital industry while maintaining their religious mission to care for the sick and poor. While her previous work focused on the Daughters’ early history in Los Angeles\, Gunnell has recently turned her attention to the sisters’ activities in the late twentieth century. Her current book project focuses on the efforts of the Daughters of Charity Foundation to promote systemic change as it seeks to combat poverty in California and elsewhere in the world. \nDATE: Thursday\, May 10\nTIME: 12-1:30 p.m.\nLOCATION: Rolfe 2125\nBring your lunch!\nRSVP online: https://uclacsw.submittable.com/submit/107912/free-registration-grantmaking-for-systemic-change-by-kristine-gunnell

SUMMARY:The Crescent Moon Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Department of English\nDate: May 4\, 2018 \nTime: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM \nLocation: California Room\, UCLA Faculty Center \nThe one-day Crescent Moon Symposium (May 4\, 2018) explores the lives of philosopher Hu Shih 胡适 (1891-1962)\, poet Xu Zhimo 徐志摩 (1897-1931)\, scholar/Shakespearean Liang Shiqiu 梁实秋\, writer/painter Ling Shuhua 凌淑华 (1900-1990)\, and their literary communities.  The quartet of bilingual intellectuals epitomized the vibrant East-West exchanges in the wake of the May Fourth movement. All four were members of the Crescent Moon Society 新月社\, established by Xu Zhimo and Hu Shi and designed as a counterpart of the Bloomsbury Group of England. Three also happened to be prolific epistolary writers. A cosmopolitan friendly with Katherine Mansfield\, Roger Fry\, and Rabindranath Tagore\, Xu was most famous for his Chinese poetry and love letters. Hu Shi corresponded with Bertrand Russell\, Arthur Waley\, and a number of American literary luminaries. Ling Shuhua corresponded with Virginia Woolf\, Vanessa Bell\, and Julian Bell. \nTwo of the four keynote speakers are descendants of Xu Zhimo and Ling Shuhua\, respectively: Tony S.

SUMMARY:Ula Taylor\, "The Promise of Patriarchy: Women and the Nation of Islam"
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UC Consortium for Black Studies in California\nUla Y. Taylor discusses her recently published book\, The Promise of Patriarchy: Women and the Nation of Islam (UNC Press\, 2017). The patriarchal structure of the Nation of Islam (NOI) promised black women the prospect of finding a provider and a protector among the organization’s men\, who were fiercely committed to these masculine roles. Black women’s experience in the NOI\, however\, has largely remained on the periphery of scholarship. Here\, Ula Taylor documents their struggle to escape the devaluation of black womanhood while also clinging to the empowering promises of patriarchy. Taylor shows how\, despite being relegated to a lifestyle that did not encourage working outside of the  home\, NOI women found freedom in being able to bypass the degrading experiences connected to labor performed largely by working-class black women and in raising and educating their children in racially affirming environments. Telling the stories of women like Clara Poole (wife of Elijah Muhammad) and Burnsteen Sharrieff (secretary to W. D. Fard\, founder of the Allah Temple of Islam)\, Taylor offers a compelling narrative that explains how their decision to join a homegrown\, male-controlled Islamic movement was a complicated act of selfpreservation and self-love in Jim Crow America. \nUla Taylor is a leading feminist historian. She is Professor and H. Michael and Jeanne Williams Department Chair in the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies at the University of California\, Berkeley. \nDATE: April 30\, 2018 \nTIME: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM \nLOCATION: Room 6275\, Bunche Hall

SUMMARY:Maria Josefina Saldaña-Portillo\, "Indian Given: Racial Geographies Across Mexico and the United States"
DESCRIPTION:Indian Given: Racial Geographies Across Mexico and the United States\nA Book Talk by Maria Josefina Saldaña-Portillo\nMaría Josefina Saldaña-Portillo is Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis at NYU and Visiting Professor of English at UC Berkeley. She is the author of The Revolutionary Imagination in the Americas and the Age of Development (Duke University Press\, 2003) and Indian Given: Racial Geographies Across Mexico and the United States (Duke University Press\, 2016). Indian Given was awarded the Best Book Award from the National Association for Chicano and Chicana Studies (NACCS) in 2017 \nIn Indian Given María Josefina Saldaña-Portillo addresses current racialized violence and resistance in Mexico and the United States with a genealogy that reaches back to the sixteenth century. Saldaña-Portillo formulates the central place of indigenous peoples in the construction of national spaces and racialized notions of citizenship\, showing\, for instance\, how Chicanos/as in the U.S./Mexico borderlands might affirm or reject their indigenous background based on their location.  In this and other ways\, she demonstrates how the legacies of colonial Spain’s and Britain’s differing approaches to encountering indigenous peoples continue to shape perceptions of the natural\, racial\, and cultural landscapes of the United States and Mexico. Drawing on a mix of archival\, historical\, literary\, and legal texts\, Saldaña-Portillo shows how los indios/Indians provided the condition of possibility for the emergence of Mexico and the United States.\n\nProfessor Saldaña’s presentation addresses the imbrication of NAFTA\, narcos\, and the legacy of the indio bárbaro.\n\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday April 12th 2018\nTime: 3:00pm\nLocation: Charles E.

SUMMARY:Nicole George\, "Women\, Peace\, and Security through a Vernacular Frame: Global/local frictions in Solomon Islands and Bougainville"
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Department of Asian American Studies\nSince the early 2000s\, United Nations Security Council Resolutions on Women Peace and Security\, and particularly UNSCR 1325\, have become a key focus of policy making and gender advocacy for those aiming to promote women’s roles in conflict resolution and conflict transition in the western Pacific Islands region. But in these contexts\, arguments about the rights of women to be recognized as those who bear specific sorts of burdens in times of instability\, or those who bring particular types of skills or insights to the processes of post-conflict governance also come into friction with vernacular notions of security and localized sentiments about the foundations for the safe ordering of community. In this presentation Nicole George reflects on recent academic development of the concept of vernacular security and the insights this work might offer into the challenges surrounding promotion of women peace and security principles in this region. George then draws upon lessons learned from research with everyday communities of women impacted by the long process of conflict transition. George examines where and how frictions occur between conceptualizations of gendered security that uphold women’s rights to safety and participation\, and those which equate gendered security with respect for\, and adherence to\, gendered codes of responsibility to family and community. \nNicole George is a leading feminist in Oceania and the author of Situating Women: Gender Politics and Circumstance in Fiji (Australian National University Press\, 2012). \nDATE: April 9\, 2018 \nTIME: 3:00 PM \nLOCATION: Rolfe 2125

SUMMARY:Ari Heinrich\, "Chinese Bodies as Biological Surplus: Plastinated Cadavers and Geopolitical Hierarchies of the Human""
DESCRIPTION:Part of Area Impossible: Sexuality and Geopolitics\n\nThe first event in the UCLA Department of Comparative Literature 2017-2018 Sexuality & Geopolitics Seminar Series will feature Ari Heinrich\, Associate Professor of Literature and Cultural Studies at UCSD. Their lecture\, “Chinese Bodies as Biological Surplus: Plastinated Cadavers and Geopolitical Hierarchies of the Human” will question what a comparative examination of Chinese-language discourse on the plastinated human cadaver exhibits might reveal about the political economics of race and capital distribution that inform them.A firestorm of human rights critiques often greets the opening of an exhibit of plastinated cadavers in Europe and North America\, obscuring any attempts to critique the notion of the human (and indeed of “rights”) in the smoke from its blaze. This talk asks what a comparative examination of Chinese-language discourse on the plastinated human cadaver exhibits might reveal about the political economies of race and capital distribution that inform them.\nDate: February 27\, 2018 \nTime: 5:30 – 8:00 PM \nLocation: Humanities 348

She continues to work to make the problem of sexual harassment at universities more visible through her involvement with organizations like The 1752 Group. \n\nAbout the Talk\nRegister online to attend: https://uclacsw.submittable.com/submit/abe1c4bb-ee7a-4da5-8eb4-16d04bc6f58f/free-registration-sara-ahmed-feminism-and-the-senses \nAhmed will speak about her new research project on “Complaint.” \nThe lecture explores how complaint can be understood as a form of diversity work: the work you do to transform an institution\, or the work you do when you do not quite inhabit the norm of an institution. If doing diversity work is heard as complaint\, making a complaint often requires becoming a diversity worker. This is not to say that those who make complaints always think of themselves as diversity workers in the sense of trying to transform the institution in which the complaint is lodged. But in order to proceed with a complaint you often have to become a diversity worker because making a complaint within an institution brings you up against it. The lecture explores how we learn about the institutional (as usual) from those who are trying to transform institutions. The lecture will discuss how complaint is a sensational intervention into institutional life. \nLOCATION: \n \nLocation: Ackerman Studen Union\, 2nd floor Grand Ballroom \nNearest Parking: Parking Structure 4 (enter via Westwood Plaza from Sunset Blvd.) \n  \nTHIS IS A FRAGRANCE-FREE EVENT. For the health and safety of all attendees\, please refrain from wearing products that contain fragrances when attending CSW events.

SUMMARY:Curating Resistance: Punk as Archival Method
DESCRIPTION:At a time when performative resistances to exploitative mainstream cultural practices are increasingly under attack\, punk persists as an important space for cultivating and curating expressive means. Punk’s resistant literacies and performances are often in defiance of institutional rigors that carve exclusionary boundaries. Yet\, as punk celebrates its long fortieth birthday\, punk’s contested annals are increasingly not only part of but also help shape institutional efforts to exceed canonic representations. Bringing together scholars\, musicians\, fans\, writers\, and community members\, including bands\, public intellectuals\, and workshops to augment the conventional structure of the academic panel\, Curating Resistance: Punk as Archival Method is teaming up with the UCLA Library Special Collections “Punk Archive” for hands-on\, thoughtful community building within\, across\, and beyond the university. This two-day event\, hosted by the UCLA Center for Musical Humanities\, focuses on the interstices of punk and archive\, using both as method\, so as to push the boundaries of these three terms and practices. The conference focuses on documenting punk musicality\, how sound repertoires and archival practices can give shape to the lived contours of diversity across scale\, from the local to transnational\, and what this means in terms of empowerment for research and endeavors that destabilize this colonial history of the academy. Punk as archival method curates resistance by contributing to these larger conversations via the possibilities of musical subcultures’ collaborative systemic interruptions. \nCurating Resistance: Punk as Archival Method will include speaker panels\, punk performances\, and renowned figures drawn from the gendered and politicized worlds of both musical and visual punk artistry.

SUMMARY:Panel: "Edible Feminisms: On Discard\, Waste\, and Metabolism"
DESCRIPTION:Activists and scholars will offer live reflections on how the past lurks in our shared food future\, and what to do about it.\nFEATURED PANELISTS\nFood justice and food waste activists:\nTanya Fields (Founder and Executive Director\, The BLK ProjeK) \nLisa “Tiny” Gray-Garcia (Co-Editor\, Poor Magazine; author of Criminal of Poverty: Growing Up Homeless in America) \nRick Nahmias (Founder and Executive Director\, Food Forward LA) \nAward-winning scholars:\nHeather Paxson (Professor of Anthropology\, MIT; author of The Life of Cheese: Crafting Food and Value in America) \nKyla Wazana Tompkins (Associate Professor of English and Gender and Women’s Studies\, Pomona College; author of Racial Indigestion: Eating Bodies in the 19th Century) \n  \n  \nDATE: Thursday\, February 1\, 2018 \nTIME: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM. Reception to follow. \nLOCATION: Luskin Conference Center\, UCLA \nFree and open to the public. \nRegister: https://uclacsw.submittable.com/submit/102504/free-registration-edible-feminisms-panel\n\n\nThis panel is part of Edible Feminisms: On Discard\, Waste and Metabolism\, a project organized by CSW Adjunct Assistant Professors Sarah Tracy and Rachel Vaughn.\nEdible Feminisms will culminate in a special issue of the journal Food\, Culture\, and Society. Contributors to the special issue will gather for a private writing workshop following the public panel. \nThis project was inspired by Dr. Kyla Wazana Tompkins‘ framing of “critical eating studies” in her award-winning Racial Indigestion (New York University Press\, 2012) and reflects on the ways in which American Studies\, Food Studies\, Sensory Studies\, Science & Technology Studies\, and Postcolonial Studies are speaking to one another. Through the promptings of food science popularization\, culinary tourism\, food waste\, sustainability\, and access debates\, questions of race\, identity\, and pleasure are currently as germane as the science of obesity/diabetes\, allergy\, and chemical exposure. Rather than separate such strands\, we wish to forward the proposition of “critical eating studies” through explorations of the theme of Re(Value). How do individuals\, companies\, and policy-makers deploy science (e.g.\, evolutionary\, genetic\, molecular) to do the work of differentiation—where differentiation is an expression of value\, whether ethnic\, cultural\, distinction\, or brand? How do such actors center science in their route to positive futures? In other words\, how is latent capacity transformed into new sources of value and to what benefit\, and through which kinds of violence? How does making explicit the materiality\, politics\, and symbolism of eating (a mutual\, subjective\, and intractable affair)\, as feminist and queer critical practice\, help illuminate such questions and to what ends? \n\nPanel Details\n  \n \nNEAREST AVAILABLE PARKING: Parking Structure 8 (enter via Westwood Plaza) \nREGISTER: https://uclacsw.submittable.com/submit/102504/free-registration-edible-feminisms-panel \n\nTHIS IS A FRAGRANCE-FREE EVENT. For the health and safety of all attendees\, please avoid wearing products that contain fragrances when attending CSW events.

SUMMARY:Josh Lambert\, "New Media Jews: Transparent\, Podcasting\, and the Place of Jews in 21st-Century American Culture"
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Josh Lambert (Yiddish Book Center/University of Massachusetts\, Amherst) \nNaftulin Family Lecture on Studies in Jewish Identity \nHow can we explain the prominence of Jews and Jewishness in 21st-century American media? At a moment when companies like Amazon and Netflix were making billion-dollar gambits to reach massive audiences with their own original content\, it turned out to be Jill Soloway’s Transparent\, that proved that a website could beat out the cable and broadcast television networks at the Golden Globes and Emmys. This lecture proposes that we consider the current wave of Jewish culture as resulting from two key developments: the increasing institutionalization of Jewish culture in America since the late 20th-century\, and the affinity between streaming media technology and demographic minorities. \nModerator: Lia Brozgal (UCLA) \n  \nWhile this event is free and open to Leve Center members\, pre-registration is required. \nE-mail cjsrsvp@humnet.ucla.edu or call 310-267-5327 to register.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Dolores
DESCRIPTION:A special screening of Dolores\, the new documentary film about activist Dolores Huerta. \nHistory tells us Cesar Chavez transformed the U.S. labor movement by leading the first farm workers’ union. But missing from this narrative is his equally influential co-founder\, Dolores Huerta\, who fought tirelessly alongside Chavez for racial and labor justice and became one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century. \nLike so many powerful women advocates\, Dolores and her sweeping reforms were – and still are – sidelined and diminished. Even as she empowered a generation of immigrants to stand up for their rights\, her relentless work ethic was constantly under attack. False accusations from foes and friends alike\, of child neglect and immoral behavior—she married three times and raised 11 children – pushed Dolores out of the very union she helped create. \nPeter Bratt’s provocative and energizing documentary challenges an incomplete history. Through beautifully woven archival footage and interviews from contemporaries and from Dolores herself\, now an octogenarian\, the film sets the record straight on one of the most effective and undervalued civil and labor rights leaders in modern U.S. history. \nView the trailer: \n\nOrganized by the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs \n
