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

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.

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.

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.
