SUMMARY:We're Alive: Film Screening and Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. \nSign up to receive updates from the UCLA Center for the Study of Women | Barbra Streisand Center. \nAdmission is free.\nFree tickets must be obtained on a first come\, first served basis at the box office\, where seating will be assigned. \nIn-person: Filmmakers Michie Gleason\, Christine Lesiak\, Kathy Levitt; May Hong HaDuong\, director\, UCLA Film & Television Archive; Grace Hong\, CSW | Streisand Center Director; Colby Lenz\, CSW | Streisand Center Deputy Director of Policy and Community Research; members of the California Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP)\, Romarilyn Ralston and Susan Bustamante. \nRestoration World Premiere of We’re Alive (1974).\nMichie Gleason\, Christine Lesiak and Kathy Levitt\, graduate students at UCLA in 1974\, made the documentary We’re Alive as part of a class assignment focused on community engagement. Driven by their activism and an interest in the experiences of incarcerated women\, the filmmakers designed and led a Portapack video workshop at the California Institution for Women (CIW) in Chino\, at the time the largest women’s prison in the United States. \nGleason\, Lesiak and Levitt wanted their mark as filmmakers to be unnoticeable: collaborating with incarcerated people\, whose participation was voluntary\, in order to give the community an opportunity to speak for themselves about the individual and collective experiences. The participants\, taught how to use the equipment\, videotaped portions of the roundtable interviews and group talk. The film balances anonymity with intimacy as the participants\, who speak in detail and are never identified by name\, report candidly on the complexities of life inside the carceral institution while describing the set of challenges and fears they will face when released. Capturing the consciousness-raising style of dialogue that defined feminist discourse in the 1970s\, the women share an acute perspective on prison abolition informed by experiences of gendered and racialized discrimination and economic disenfranchisement\, the effects of drug addiction\, and the parole board’s abuse of power. Several participants recognize the camaraderie—political\, platonic and romantic—that they have experienced in prison. \nThe Archive learned about the documentary around 2016 when requests for the film—whose sparse credits mention UCLA but none of the individuals involved—started filtering into the Archive Research and Study Center. The British Film Institute generously shared its 16mm prints of the film that the Archive scanned for research access. Media scholars Beth Capper and Rox Samer have given context to the documentary\, but its complete production history remained largely unknown until Levitt\, while attending the 2022 UCLA Festival of Preservation\, introduced herself to Archive staff and mentioned the film she co-produced as a UCLA student. At last\, this powerful\, and once orphaned\, film has returned to UCLA and with it the strong\, clear voices of incarcerated women telling their stories of being alive. \nFollowing the film\, the filmmakers of We’re Alive will join moderator Colby Lenz\, CSW | Streisand Center Deputy Director of Policy and Community Research\, and members of the California Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP)\, Romarilyn Ralston and Susan Bustamante\, who experienced incarceration at CIW. \nDCP\, b&w/color\, 49 min. Directors: Michie Gleason\, Christine Lesiak\, Kathy Levitt and the women prisoners of the California Institution for Women. Credited as “The Video Workshop of the California Institution for Women and the Women’s Film Workshop of the University of California\, Los Angeles.” \nDigitally restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Funding provided by the Columbia Motion Picture Research Fund. Laboratory services provided by illuminate Studios and Endpoint Audio Labs. Special thanks to Michie Gleason\, Kathy Levitt\, Chris Mohana\, and the British Film Institute. \n \nSpecial thanks to our community partners: California Coalition for Women Prisoners\, UCLA School of Theater\, Film and Television.

SUMMARY:Death and Dying in Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Department of Asian American Studies\nDate: Tuesday\, November 8\, 2022\nTime: 4:00-6:30 PM\nLocation: 10383 Bunche Hall \nREGISTRATION REQUIRED \n \nIn his new book Filipino Time: Affective Worlds and Contracted Labor\, Allan Isaac examines how contracted service labor performed by Filipinos in the Philippines\, Europe\, the Middle East\, and the United States generates vital affects\, multiple networks\, and other life-worlds as much as it disrupts and dislocates human relations. Affective labor and time are re-articulated in a capacious archive of storytelling about the Filipino labor diaspora in fiction\, musical performance\, ethnography\, and documentary film. Exploring these cultural practices\, Filipino Time traces other ways of sensing\, making sense of\, and feeling time with others\, by weaving narratives of place and belonging out of the hostile but habitable textures of labor-time. \nSignaling his current research project in this talk\, Isaac explores live-streamed funeral vigils\, a technological practice made necessary by Filipino diasporic life\, to highlight two Tagalog concept-words that map other ways to generate ecologies of communality: pakiramdam (literally\, to make oneself felt\, or to feel a presence)\, affective engagement without immediate proximity; andkapiling\, to be in someone’s proximity or vicinity without interaction between two parties. Migrant subjects harness time and the imagination in their creative\, life-making capacities to make communal worlds out of one steeped in the temporalities and logics of capital. \nAllan Punzalan Isaac is Professor of American Studies and English and Associate Humanities Dean at Rutgers University-New Brunswick\, NJ. He specializes in Asian American and comparative race studies and examines issues around migration\, postcoloniality\, gender and sexuality\, and the Philippines and its diaspora. His first book American Tropics: Articulating Filipino America was the recipient of the Association for Asian American Studies Cultural Studies Book Award. His second book is entitled\, Filipino Time: Affective Worlds and Contracted Labor. He taught at DeLaSalle University-Taft in Manila\, Philippines as a Senior Fulbright Scholar. His current research focuses on death and dying in the Filipino diaspora.

SUMMARY:Elemental Cartographies in an Era of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Department of English and the Department of Gender Studies\nDate: Tuesday\, November 8\, 2022\nTime: 3:30-6:00 PM\nLocation: Charles E. Young Research Library Presentation Room 11348 \nAs we bear witness to the wastelanding of the earth by late liberal capital\, Kānaka Maoli are recovering ancestral knowledges encoded in oli (chants) and moʻolelo (storied history) to activate the elements and transform the effects of global climate change into possibilities for renewed abundance. \nIn this talk\, Candace Fujikane begins with arguments from her recent book\, Mapping Abundance for a Planetary Future: Kanaka Maoli and Critical Settler Cartographies in Hawaiʻi\, contending that global climate change events are not apocalyptic but rather are bringing about the demise of capitalist economies of scarcity\, making way for Indigenous economies of abundance. She will present a preview of her new book\, Elemental Cartographies for a Changing Earth. Kanaka Maoli identify 400\,000 akua or elemental forms and energies\, including the 300 winds of the island of Kanaloa Kahoʻolawe. From 1941 to 1990\, the US Navy used the island as a bombing target\, with the devastating effect of cracking the water table. In the exhausted cartographies of militarized capital\, only 9% of subsurface lands has been cleared of unexploded ordnance. The PKO practitioners\, however\, have long stood to protect the island\, transforming the symbol of the target into a much more generative image of the piko\, the umbilicus that enables the people to be pili (connected) to the akua\, the kūpuna (ancestors)\, and to the pulapula (the seedling descendants to come). Ancestral archives of elemental cartographies map the winds of Kanaloa Kahoʻolawe\, enabling the greening of the island to attract and birth clouds and to manifest decolonial and abolitionist futures. \nElemental Cartographies in an Era of Climate Change looks at the relationships between the elements (lands\, seas\, skies\, clouds\, ocean currents\, wind currents) and between humans and elements as they take place in land struggles and restoration projects on Maui (making kapa for ancestral remains they are finding at a development project)\, Kahoʻolawe (greening of the island to create microclimates in the 30 years since bombing of the island by the military was halted)\, Kahuku on Oʻahu (fight against wind turbines sited too closely to Pacific Islander homes). Fujikana uses a feminist\, indigenous studies\, and critical settler-colonial lens to connect the survival of Pacific Islanders and their concepts of land and water to the realms of reproduction and social reproduction–hallmark concerns of feminist research. \nCandace Fujikane is professor of English at the University of Hawai’i. She co-edited with Jonathan Okamura Asian Settler Colonialism: From Local Governance to the Habits of Everyday Life in Hawai’i (2008). She has recently published Mapping Abundance for a Planetary Future: Kanaka Maoli and Critical Settler Cartographies in Hawaiʻi (2021). She is a Japanese settler ally who stands for lands and waters in Hawaiʻi and for Hawaiian political independence.

SUMMARY:Caring is Connecting: The Extractive Logics of AI Voice Assistants in the Home
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Center for Critical Internet Inquiry and the UCLA School of Education & Information Studies\nDate: Thursday\, October 6\, 2022\nTime: 3:00 PM\nLocation: GSE&IS Room 111\nReception and refreshments to follow in the IS Salon.  \n \n“More peace of mind as your loved ones need more care.” This tag line appears in large\, bolded letters on Amazon’s website advertising their service\, Alexa Together. Described as a “new way to provide support for your loved ones\, keeping you together even when you’re apart\,” this “caregiving service” requires a subscription and an Amazon Echo device to facilitate the remote support of elderly family members\, including control of household devices and increased surveillance opportunities. Using Alexa Together as one example\, I consider how the frame of caregiving may be leveraged to “smooth” people’s concerns about privacy and data gathering in voice assistants\, and justify intensified surveillance for elder adults and disabled family members as a function of market segmentation. This talk will explore\n“caring” as a discursive frame for AI voice assistants that creates targeted opportunities for data extraction in the home\, further entangling intimate activities within the home with the big data assemblages that AI urbanism relies on for algorithmic decision making in urban living and governance. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Permanence and Decay
DESCRIPTION:Organized by The Graduate Students Association in the Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies\nDate: May 23 and May 24\, 2022\nTime: 9:00 AM-3:30 PM (PST)\nLocation: Royce Hall 306 and 314 \nREGISTER ONLINE \nCONFERENCE WEBSITE \nTensions between permanence and decay are constitutive features of European culture. Periods during which cultural and political conventions appeared as though they would endure have alternated with periods of crisis and widespread instability. There can be many interpretations of permanence and decay: they can refer to the physical nature of artifacts or materials and their durability\, but also to the cyclical nature of thought (as the ideological crises in present-day Europe have brought to the fore)\, as well as to the unstable nature of social\, interpersonal\, and political frameworks (as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic shows us). The conference asks how changing (or unshakeable) beliefs on sexuality\, gender\, birth\, death\, memory\, and truth have influenced each other and shaped European culture\, literature\, and politics.

SUMMARY:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag with Lara K. Schubert\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:“Glimpsing Structural Engineering Culture: Structural Engineering Equity Efforts from Within”\n \nA Talk by Lara K. Schubert\, PhD\nDATE: Friday\, May 20\, 2022\nTIME: 12:00 -1:00 PM (PDT)\nLOCATION: Zoom (RSVP to receive link) \nREGISTER ONLINE \nEVENT FLYER \nStructural engineers typically consider the profession to be a meritocracy\, in which engineers are successful if they have technical skill required for engineering. While this is important\, the culture of the profession also affects who is promoted and who stays to reach levels of leadership within their firms. The problem of retention has been identified within the profession\, and in 2015 the professional organization created a committee to study and to address the issue. This presentation will give an account of the project\, SE3: Structural Engineering\, Equity and Engagement\, following the trajectory of the efforts from within the profession and reflecting on the strategies used\, how they have evolved\, and how they are informed by the culture of engineering. \nLara K. Schubert is a Research Affiliate at the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, a PhD in Religion\, who has both practiced structural engineering and undertaken ethnographic research with women in religious communities in Cambodia. Her current research merges these areas of expertise. She teaches in feminist science studies and intends to complete a qualitative study of structural engineering to help make clear the culture to ultimately strengthen structural engineering.

SUMMARY:Naming\, Understanding\, and Playing with Metaphors in Music
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Practice-Based Experimental Epistemology Research (PEER) Lab\nDATE: Friday\, April 29-Saturday\, April 30\nTIME: Begins 9:00 AM (Friday\, April 29)\nLOCATION: Zoom (registration required) \nCALL FOR PAPERS\nREGISTER TO ATTEND \nIf music and sound are “thick events” that exceed our ability to grasp them fully (see Eidsheim 2015)\, what resources do we have to make (at least) partial sense of them? In a two-day symposium\, we aim to spark a conversation exploring how metaphorical language works as one of these resources\, examining how it shapes the ways in which we perceive and understand not only music\, but one another and the world. \nThis symposium seeks to promote a conversation that maps the networks of metaphors that structure musical discourse while tracing their repercussions – musicological\, social\, and political. There are eight confirmed keynote speakers and over twenty presenters on themes having to do with metaphor and race\, ethnicity\, nation\, gender\, sexuality\, body\, and disability. The ultimate aim of this symposium is to shift the power balance in terms of who gets to name\, whose experiences and practices are recognized\, which relationships we have the capacity to note\, and what kinds of worlds we can create. \nKeynote Speakers:\nJessica Bissett Perea\, Dena’ina (Native American Studies\, UC Davis)Philip Ewell (Music Theory\, Hunter College\, CUNY)J. Martin Daughtry (Music\, NYU)Nicholas Harkness (Anthropology\, Harvard University)Dorinne Kondo (American Studies and Ethnicity and Anthropology\, USC)Dylan Robinson\, xwélméxw/Stó:lō/Skwah (Cultural Studies Graduate Program\, Queen’s University)Holly Watkins (Musicology\, Eastman School of Music)Shana Redmond (English and Comparative Literature\, Columbia University)

This talk turns to the street queen\, a fixture of mid twentieth century American queer and trans cities\, to ask critical questions of the propensity to idealize subjects marginalized by race and gender. Who is the Black and brown street queen\, what kind of life did she lead\, and what does she know outside of the projection of contemporary desires for resilience and resistance onto her? \nJules Gill-Peterson is an associate professor of history at Johns Hopkins University. She is the author of Histories of the Transgender Child (Minnesota\, 2018)\, winner of a Lambda Literary Award and the Children’s Literature Association book prize.

But the university is also where many of the most degrading and devastating negations and limitations on trans people’s lives have been invented\, credentialed\, and funded. How can trans studies—and trans people in academia—confront that painful reality and history in their effects on us? What does it look like to be trans and do trans work from a critical perspective on the university as an institution? \nHow can thinking through UCLA’s history\, in particular\, inform how we imagine a more ethical and justice-centered vision for the public university’s relationship to transgender people? Join this conversation with Thinking Gender 2022 keynote speaker\, Dr. Jules Gill-Peterson\, author of Histories of the Transgender Child (University of Minnesota Press\, 2018)\, the first book to shatter the widespread myth that transgender children are a brand-new generation in the twenty-first century. The conversation will include a roundtable discussion with members of a statewide community-university initiative\, Just Research?

SUMMARY:Asian & Gender Education Symposium (AGES)
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Asian Pacific Coalition\nDATE: Tuesday\, March 29\, 2022\nTIME: 9:30 AM-3:00 PM (PDT)\nLOCATION: Bruin Viewpoint Room in Ackerman Union \nEVENT WEBSITE\nREGISTER ONLINE \nAGES is a research symposium meant to engage its audience in research and academia and create discussion over how we can use research to mobilize and educate communities. Research is an important facet of creating change. The symposium aims to focus on research under an intersection of Asian and gendered lens and how we can rethink research as a facilitator for change rather than a subject gatekept to academia. \nThe Asian Pacific Coalition\, or APC\, is an umbrella organization that represents 20 Asian Pacific Islander and Desi American-related (APIDA) organizations on campus. As the Asian Pacific Coalition at UCLA\, we are dedicated to dismantling systems of racial oppression and striving for collective liberation through coalition-building with other communities of color. \nRESEARCHERS: \nNadeeka Karunaratne\, UCLA PhD Candidate\, Higher Education & Organizational ChangeElaine Tamargo\, UCLA PhD Student\, Higher Education & Organizational ChangeMegan Trinh\, UCLA Masters Student

SUMMARY:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag: South Carolina Philosopher: Louisa Susannah McCord
DESCRIPTION:A Talk by Carol Bensick\, PhD\nDATE: Friday\, March 18\, 2022\nTIME: 12:00 -1:00 PM (PST)\nLOCATION: Zoom (RSVP to receive link) \nREGISTER ONLINE \nEVENT FLYER \nThe South has been decidedly underrepresented in the growing canon of antebellum nineteenth century American women philosophers. Louisa McCord stands out as a promising candidate to correct this imbalance. In a period where the essay format was almost exclusively the province of men\, McCord wrote and published numerous essays in respected Southern journals. These were identified\, collected\, and edited in the mid 1990s. Even so\, the recovery of forgotten women philosophers was only getting underway at that time and many still went unnoticed. This talk will make a first step toward becoming acquainted with McCord and discovering the similarities and differences between her work and that of her already established contemporaries from the North. \nCarol Bensick earned her PhD in American Literary and Intellectual History from 1620 to 1914 at Cornell University. As a Research Affiliate at the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, she has given conference papers and published blog posts on unknown and barely known women philosophers such as Nancy Kingsbury Wollstonecraft of New Hampshire and Julia Ward Howe of Massachusetts\, as well as on John Dewey’s and William James’s interactions with women philosophical students and friends. Her chapters on philosophers Sarah Dorsey of Mississippi and Amalie Hathaway of Michigan are forthcoming in Springer and Oxford collections respectively. Her latest nineteenth-century philosophical interest is political essayist Louisa McCord of South Carolina.

SUMMARY:We Were There: The Third World Women's Alliance and the Second Wave
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Department of Gender Studies\nBook Talk With Dr. Patricia Romney in conversation with Dr. Maylei Blackwell\nDATE: Tuesday\, March 8\, 2022\nTIME: 3:00 PM (PST)\nLOCATION: Virtual/Zoom (Registration Required) \nREGISTER ONLINE \nEVENT FLYER \nDr. Romney’s new book documents how the Alliance shaped and defined second wave feminism. From 1970 to 1980\, the Alliance lived the dream of third world feminism. The small bicoastal organization was one of the earliest groups advocating for what came to be known as intersectional activism\, arguing that women of color faced a “triple jeopardy” of race\, gender\, and class oppression. Widely recognized as the era’s primary voice for women of color\, this alliance across ethnic and racial identities was unique then and now.

SUMMARY:Describing LGBT and Gay Rights: A Longitudinal Analysis of Pro- And Anti-Gay Rights Groups’ Online Messages in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Asia Pacific Center\nDate: Thursday\, March 3\, 2022\nTime: 5:00 PM (PST)\nLocation: Online/Zoom \nREGISTER ONLINE \nTaiwan has become the first Asian country to legalize same-sex spousal rights with the passage of a special law in May 2019. The legalization of same-sex relationships in Taiwan is a highly-contested process\, with pro-and anti-gay rights groups competing with one another to win legitimacy over how even the idea of gay rights should be interpreted. To better understand the different discursive tools deployed by pro- and anti-gay rights activists between November 2013 and March 2020\, I adopt a thematic content analysis approach to generate a codebook and apply it to a corpus that includes Facebook public posts of the pro-gay rights group and anti-gay rights group with the largest number of followers\, respectively. The findings suggest that the pro-gay rights group is more likely to mention frames of anti-discrimination\, equality\, liberty\, and identity-building while their anti-gay rights counterpart relies heavily on frames of morality\, public interests\, democracy\, and anti-elitism. Furthermore\, the pro-and anti-gay rights activists have adopted specific localized framing elements to construct their policy messages\, including “Taiwan-China comparison\,” “indigenous people\,” and “ancestor veneration.” By treating framing as a dynamic process that changes over time\, it becomes possible to observe that activists’ framing patterns have changed in response to policy outcomes\, elite behavior\, and interaction with rival activists. \nShih-chan Dai studies the development of LGBTQ rights in East Asian countries as well as examines how digital technology has reshaped the way politics and activism work nowadays. His research is situated at the intersection of political communication\, social movements\, and LGBTQ politics. He received his PhD in political science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. During his postdoc at UCLA\, Shih-chan Dai is revising his dissertation into different journal articles and working on research topics related to gay rights in East Asia. \nThis event is part of the Asia Pacific Center’s UCLA Taiwan in the World lecture series. The Taiwan in the World lecture series aims to promote and disseminate knowledge about Taiwan’s society\, political system\, social structure\, and institutions in a global context\, and shed light on Taiwan’s political economy\, international relations\, and US-Taiwan-China relations. This series is organized by Taiwan in the World postdoctoral fellow Shih-chan Dai and supported with funding by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles. This lecture is cosponsored by the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, LGBTQ Campus Resource Center\, and Office of Equity\, Diversity & Inclusion.
