SUMMARY:Carceral Entanglements with Wendi Yamashita
DESCRIPTION:Where: 2125 Rolfe Hall\nWhen: Tuesday\, October 15\, 12-1:30 pm \nLight lunch will be served. Seating is first come first served. \nCarceral Entanglements: Gendered Public Memories of Japanese American World War II Incarceration argues that Japanese American WWII incarceration narratives substantiate discourses of gender\, sexual\, racial\, and carceral/colonial power yet contain possibilities for disruption. Understanding the contradictory location of Japanese American identity and community through public memory is an important part of ethical and meaningful solidarity work. This talk will focus on the first chapter of the book to examine how antiblackness operates within Japanese American memorial practices and how that has shifted and been challenged after the murder of George Floyd in 2020. \nPresented by:\nCSW|Streisand Center \nUCLA Asian American Studies Center \nUCLA Gender Studies Department \nUCLA Asian American Studies \n

SUMMARY:UCLA Center for Reproductive Science\, Health and Education (CRSHE) Distinguished Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:When: Thursday\, October 3\, 2024\n12:00 p.m. PT\nReception to follow \nWhere: California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI)\nUCLA Campus \nPlease join us for this timely event where the science of human embryos and embryo models will be explained by preeminent scientist and author Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz. Opening remarks will be provided by CRSHE’s co-director\, Hannah Landecker. \nClick to RSVP\nRegistration is required.\nSeating is first come first served and is not guaranteed. \nAbout the event:\nThe UCLA Center for Reproductive Science\, Health and Education (CRSHE)\, Broad Stem Cell Research Center (BSCRC) and Department of Molecular\, Cell and Developmental Biology (MCDB) are delighted to host Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz as our upcoming distinguished speaker. Zernicka-Goetz is the Bren Professor of Biology and Biological Engineering at Caltech and professor of mammalian development and stem cell biology at the University of Cambridge. Spanning the last 25 years\, her lab has made seminal contributions to the study of human embryos and is a pioneer in the field of stem cell-based embryo models. \nIn her talk\, Zernicka-Goetz will discuss how early mammalian development is characterized by a series of critical transitions that lay the foundation for a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. To understand the scientific basis for this\, the Zernicka-Goetz laboratory develops innovative scientific technologies using stem cells to model the early human embryo. These models provide a system to study fundamental aspects of human embryo development and offer significant potential to improve outcomes for assisted reproduction\, elucidate the causes of early pregnancy failure and provide insights into the developmental origins of diseases. \nOpening remarks will be provided by Hannah Landecker\, professor in the UCLA Department of Sociology and the UCLA Institute for Society and Genetics. Professor Landecker uses the tools of history and social science to study contemporary developments in the life sciences and their historical taproots in the 20th century.

SUMMARY:Book Launch and Discussion: Space Feminisms
DESCRIPTION:When:\n18 September 2024\n11:00 AM (US-PST) \nWhere: Online \nRegister Here.  \nJoin us for an engaging online book launch and discussion presented by the UCLA Center for Performance Studies and the UCLA Center for the Study of Women | Barbra Streisand Center. \nWe will explore the groundbreaking work Space Feminisms: People\, Planets\, Power\, and joined by book editors Marie-Pier Boucher\, Assistant Professor of Media Studies at the University of Toronto\, and Nahum Romero\, Director of the KOSMICA Institute.

Space Feminisms moves beyond traditional futurist narratives to cultivate radical and alternative modes of inquiry\, viewing space as a material reality that mirrors humanity’s self-perceptions both on Earth and beyond.

SUMMARY:Postponed: Bad Dance: A Lecture by Dr. Kemi Adeyemi
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed. \nWhere: Kaufman Hall Room 200\nWhen: May 13\, 5:30 – 6:30 PM \nTo hear them tell it\, studs are bad dancers.

This talk takes black queer people seriously as self described “bad” dancers in order to rethink how dance is presumed to consolidate queer community. \nKemi Adeyemi is Associate Professor of Gender\, Women and Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington. Her practice\nuses performance as a site and methodology for theorizing the contours of contemporary black queer life. \nThis talk will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Associate Professor of Choreography\, Will Rawls. \nCo-sponsored by:\nBlack Feminist Initiative at the CSW Barbara Streisand\nCenter\, and by Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual\, Transgender & Queer Studies.

SUMMARY:STARRY FIELD: A Memoir of Lost History
DESCRIPTION:This is event has been cancelled and will be rescheduled.   \nWhen: Thursday\, May 2\, 2024 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM \nWhere: Rolfe 2125 \nRSVP.\nBuy the book. \nJoin us in a conversation with journalist Margaret Juhae Lee as she discusses her poignant memoir\,Starry Field: A Memoir of Lost History. In Starry Field\, Lee sets out on a search for her family’s history lost to the darkness of Korea’s colonial decades\, and contends with the shockwaves of violence that followed them over four generations and across continents. \nCombining investigative journalism\, oral history\, and archival research\, Margaret reveals the truth about the grandfather she never knew. What she found is that Lee Chul Ha\, her grandfather who left her grandmother and two young sons in 1936\, was not a source of shame; he was a student revolutionary imprisoned in 1929for protesting the Japanese government’s colonization of Korea. He was a hero—and eventually honored as aPatriot of South Korea almost 60 years after his death. But reclaiming her grandfather’s legacy\, in the end\, isn’twhat Margaret finds the most valuable. It is through the series of three long-form interviews with her grandmother that Margaret finally finds a sense of recognition she’s been missing her entire life. A story of healing old wounds and the reputation of an extraordinary young man\, Starry Field bridges the tales of two women\, generations and oceans apart\, who share the desire to build family in someplace called home.

SUMMARY:The Manicurist's Daughter: Memoir Reading with Susan Lieu
DESCRIPTION:Where: Math Sciences\, Rm 5200 \nWhen: April 4\, 2024\, 5:00 PM – 6:15 PM (Pacific Time) \nRSVP here.\nPlease join us in welcoming writer and performance artist Susan Lieu\, who will read from her new book\, The Manicurist’s Daughter\, an emotionally raw memoir about the crumbling of the American Dream and a daughter of refugees who searches for answers after her mother dies during plastic surgery. The Manicurist’s Daughter is much more than a memoir about grief\, trauma\, and body image. It is a story of fierce determination\, strength in shared culture\, and finding your place in the world. \nSusan Lieu is a Vietnamese-American author\, playwright\, and performer who tells stories that refuse to be forgotten. A daughter of nail salon workers\, she took her autobiographical solo theatre show 140 LBS: How Beauty Killed My Mother on a 10-city national tour with sold out premieres and accolades from L.A. Times\, NPR\, and American Theatre. Eight months pregnant\, she premiered her sequel OVER 140 LBS as the headliner for ACT Theatre’s SoloFest. The Manicurist’s Daughter is her first book.

SUMMARY:Thinking Gender 2024: “Dystopian Realities\, Feminist Utopias”
DESCRIPTION:When: Friday\, March 1\, 2024 (In Person)\nWhere: James West Alumni Center\, The Collins Conference Room\, 325 Westwood Plaza\, Los Angeles\, CA 90095 \nJoin us for the 34th Annual Thinking Gender Graduate Student Research Conference “Dystopian Realities\, Feminist Utopias.” Thinking Gender 2024’s conference theme considers what it means to live in the cataclysmic wake of racial capitalism\, settler colonialism\, and neoliberalism. At the same time\, the theme celebrates how feminist\, queer\, and BIPOC scholarship\, activism\, and art enact utopias by imagining alternatives to hegemonic structures. \nThe theme seeks to explore how dystopianism serves as an apt metaphor to explore and critique social and political issues related to gender\, race\, class\, and sexuality and how utopianism is an ethical mandate to imagine a better present and future. \nOur in-person program on Friday\, March 1\, 2024\, will be open to the public. Guests who have not pre-registered may be admitted if space permits. \n \n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n \nCosponsors\nAfrican American Studies \nAnthropology \nAsian American Studies Center \nBixby Center on Population and Reproductive Health \nChicana/o and Central American Studies \nComparative Literature \nDisability Studies \nEquity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion \nGender Studies \nGraduate Division \nHumanities Division \nInstitute for Research on Labor & Employment \nInstitute of American Cultures \nInternational Institute \nJustice\, Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion\, David Geffen School of Medicine \nLGBTQ Campus Resource Center \nRalph J.
