SUMMARY:Dying From Improvement: Inquests and Inquiries into Indigenous Deaths in Custody
DESCRIPTION:A book talk by Sherene Razack\, Professor of Social Justice Education\, University of Toronto \nWhat do inquests and inquiries reveal about how and why Indigenous people die in custody? What is said about a sixty-seven-year -old man who dies in a hospital in police custody with a large\, visible\, purple boot print on his chest\, a mark no one in the hospital or among the police notice? How do we account for the police dropping off a barely conscious\, alcoholic older man\, Frank Paul (Mi’kmaq)\, in a dark alley on a cold Vancouver night\, a man who could be seen on a video recording being dragged into the police station\, presumably unable to walk on his own? What sense are we to make of the patterns of these deaths – patterns involving a repeated failure to care\, a systemic indifference and callousness\, and sometimes\, outright murder? I advance the argument that the violence state actors visit on Indigenous bodies imprints colonial power on the skin\, as much as the branding of slaves or the whipping and abuse of children in residential schools once did. Such a branding declares Indigenous bodies\, and crucially their lands\, to be settler property\, and simultaneously announces that Indigenous people are subhuman\, the kind of human one can only deal with through force. Importantly\, the power imprinted on bodies need not take the form of a boot print. The failure to provide care\, indeed to care\, marks the body as a lower form of humanity\, one that is already in between life and death. Legal processes such as inquests and inquiries endorse the racial hierarchy that a boot print produces through routinely declaring such actions as lawful\, necessary\, or inevitable. Through a legal performance of Indigenous people as a dying race who are simply pathologically unable to cope with the demands of modern life\, the settler subject is formed and his or her entitlement to the land secured. The settler and the settler state are both constituted as modern and as exemplary in their efforts to assist Indigenous people’s entry into modernity. In this way\, a killing becomes saving\, and murder brings redemption.\nOrganized by: Critical Race Studies\, UCLA School of Law \nCosponsored by: the UCLA Department of Gender Studies\, the UCLA American Indian Studies Center\, and the UCLA Center for the Study of Women’s Research and Equity Committee initiative (supported by the Office of Interdisciplinary and Cross Campus Affairs) \nSherene Razack is a Professor at the University of Toronto. \nCOPIES OF DYING FROM IMPROVEMENT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT THE EVENT. \nRead blog post about Sherene Razack

SUMMARY:Refusing to Eat: Sensations\, Solidarities and the Crises of Detainee Hunger Strikes
DESCRIPTION:Nayan Shah\, American Studies\, USC \nWhy\, when and how does the refusal to eat while in detention become a viscerally potent and politically volatile protest that challenges the legitimacy and conditions of incarceration.   The presentation examines mass hunger strikes of political prisoners in South Africa\, Israel\, Guantanamo and refugees in the U.S.\, Australia and Europe. Drawing on feminist theories of bodily subjectivity\, affect and ethics\, Shah explores how sensory data\, sensation\, and sensitivity to human suffering mobilizes social justice  movements\, bioethical controversies and challenges to state power. \nNayan Shah is a historian with expertise in U.S. and Canadian history\, gender and sexuality studies\, legal and medical history\, and Asian American Studies. He is the author of two award-winning books – Stranger Intimacy: Contesting Race\, Sexuality and the Law in the North American West (University of California Press\, 2011) andContagious Divides: Epidemics and Race in San Francisco’s Chinatown (University of California Press\, 2001).  Shah is also the editor of GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies (Duke University Press). Shah is the recipient of fellowships and grants from the Rockefeller Foundation\, van Humboldt Foundation and Freeman Foundation. \nOrganized by: UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, as part of CSW’s Gender Research and Equity Committee initiative\, with support from the Office of Interdisciplinary & Cross Campus Affairs. \nCosponsored by: Charles E Young Research Library

SUMMARY:Personal Safety and Conflict Resolution: An Empowerment Self-Defense Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will introduce participants to Empowerment Self-Defense training methodologies\, a feminist\, anti-racist\, gender-inclusive approach to eradicating violence and fostering equality. Empowerment self-defense is based on the premise that\, although only an aggressor is responsible for an assault\, a defender has options when reacting to violence. ESD provides training for expanding these options. ESD focuses on critical risk assessment\, boundary setting\, how to recognize healthy and unhealthy relationships as well as on physical defense techniques. \nThe workshop will be led by Empowerment Self-Defense instructor Susan Schorn. Participants can be UCLA affiliates of any kind. Come prepared to move. \nSusan Schorn is an author\, martial artist\, and empowerment self-defense instructor. She is the author of a memoir entitled Smile at Strangers: Life Lessons from the Art of Living Fearlessly. She writes a regular column for McSweeney’s Internet Tendency and is a contributor to popular feminist publications such as Jezebel and The Hairpin. She has also written about academic research on the effectiveness of feminist self-defense training. \nOrganized by: Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance \nCosponsored by: Center for the Study of Women\, 7000 in Solidarity\, Bruins for Consent\, and UCLA Counseling Center \n
