SUMMARY:Lee Ann S. Wang
DESCRIPTION:Asian American Feminisms and the Re-writing of the Legal Voice: Immigration Law\, Criminal Enforcement\, and “Cooperation”\nA talk by the UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow\, UC Berkeley \nThis talk will discuss the U Visa\, a new form of legal protection designed to rescue undocumented immigrants from gender and sexual violence – but only if they willingly agree to cooperate with the police state. She argues that the visa’s requirement for “cooperation” binds any future for Asian immigrant women to the criminality of blackness and the whiteness of universal innocence. Visas such as these have been overlooked within contemporary immigration and policing debates that largely focus on moments when the law fails as evidence of racial violence. Instead\, this talk takes the law’s proclaimed successful protection over legal innocence as the very site from which the violent constitution of legal personhood unfolds. Drawing from ethnographic interpretations of legal advocates who assist Asian immigrant women with visa applications\, she interrogates the law’s evidentiary relationship between lived experience\, humanness\, and “voice” that make legible the legal subject of the crime victim. The 2001 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) created the U Visa alongside a host of other immigrant provisions that were not originally included in the first iteration of VAWA in the early 1990s when it passes as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. I argue that the U Visa’s requirement for legal cooperation is a form of coercion that cannot be fully understood outside its elemental arrangement within criminalization and security regimes. This talk is part of her manuscript\, “Of Law’s Protection and Punishment: Gender Violence\, Asian Immigrant Woman\, and the Enforced Safety of the Security State\,” a legal ethnography of Asian American citizenship and the making of legal personhood at the intersections of immigration law\, criminal enforcement\, and American humanitarianism. \nRSVP: http://leeannwang-aasc.eventbrite.com \nOrganized by: Asian American Studies Center \nCosponsored by: Department of Gender Studies; Department of Asian American Studies; Center for the Study of Women; School of Law; and UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship

Availability is first-come\, first-serve.] \nKEYNOTE SPEAKER \nOur keynote speaker is Aili Mari Tripp. Her address is titled “Unexpected Consequences: Women and Power in Postconflict Africa” and is based on her recently published book\, which looks at gender-related consequences of the decline of major conflict in 17 countries in Africa over the past 20 years. It explains why postconflict countries in Africa have significantly higher rates of women’s political representation compared with countries that have not undergone major conflict. It also looks at why these countries tend to have been more open to passing legislation and making constitutional changes relating to women’s rights. It shows how and why the postconflict countries have adopted a distinct trajectory compared with non-postconflict countries\, recognizing that from the point of view of activists\, this trajectory is still too slow and fraught. The talk is based on comparative research across Africa as well as fieldwork in Uganda\, Liberia\, and Angola. \nAili Mari Tripp is a professor of Political Science and Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is currently a visiting Fulbright Scholar at the Hillary Rodham Clinton Center for Women’s Empowerment at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane\, Morocco. She is conducting research on women and legal reform in North Africa. Her past research has focused on women and politics in Africa\, women’s movements in Africa\, transnational feminism\, African politics (with particular reference to Uganda and Tanzania)\, and on the informal economy in Africa. For more information: https://ailitripp.wordpress.com \nPROGRAM\n \nClick here for the full program — including panelists and paper titles! \nThursday\, April 7\, 2016 \n11:30 am to 1 pm\nRegistration \n1 to 1:30 pm\nPOSTER PRESENTATIONS \n1:30 to 3 pm\nWELCOME by Jessica Cattelino\, CSW Associate Director \nSCREENINGS\nFor the first time\, Thinking Gender will feature film\, video\, and mixed-media shorts followed by a moderated discussion. \n3 to 3:30 pm\nPOSTER PRESENTATIONS\, continued \n3:45 to 4:45 pm\nKEYNOTE: UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES: WOMEN AND POWER IN POSTCONFLICT AFRICA\nfeaturing Aili Mari Tripp\, University of Wisconsin-Madison \nCopies of Professor Tripp’s new book\, Women and Power in Postconflict Africa\, will be available for sale. \n5 to 7 pm RECEPTION \n5:30 pm AWARDS PRESENTATION by Rachel C.

SUMMARY:How Societies and States Count
DESCRIPTION:Censuses in Italy\, the United States\, and the United Kingdom \nA Discussion with the authors of Antecedents of Censuses From Medieval to Nation States: How Societies and States Count (Volume 1) and Changes in Censuses from Imperialist to Welfare States: How Societies and States Count (Volume 2)\, Palgrave Macmillan\, 2016. \nFeaturing Rebecca Jean Emigh\, UCLA\, Sociology; Dylan Riley\, UC Berkeley\, Sociology; and Patricia Ahmed\, South Dakota State\, Sociology. \nThese two volumes are a comprehensive survey of censuses (and before censuses\, census-like information gathering) starting in the early medieval period to the present in England/UK\, the US\, and Italy. They develop a new theory of information gathering to explain the social and state forces that shape how and when information gathering is undertaken. Central to this process of information gathering is classification\, that is\, how people are put into socially relevant groups\, such as men and women\, and how social and demographic characteristics are attached to these groups. For most of history\, until very recently\, much more information was collected about men than about women\, as early censuses were generally collected to assess resources and distribute political benefits\, which were more often attached to men\, not to women. However\, as the purpose of censuses shifted towards collecting population information\, which then became construed socially as knowledge\, information collection about men and women became more symmetrical. The books trace this shift from resource collection to knowledge collection over time and region\, and thus\, contribute to understanding how our knowledge of women and men shifted over time and place. \nOrganized by: UCLA Department of Sociology \nCosponsored by: UCLA CAPPP\, UCLA Center for 17th and 18th Century Studies\, and UCLA Center for the Study of Women

SUMMARY:The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks
DESCRIPTION:Jeanne Theoharis is the biographer of Civil Rights organizer\, Rosa Parks. She will be speaking about her landmark\, paradigm-shifting biography\, The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks\, which won the NAACP Image Award for outstanding biography and the Leticia Woods Brown Award from the Association of Black Women Historians. Theoharis contributes invaluable insight into Parks’s significance to the gendered history of social movements\, and Civil Rights specifically\, revealing how misconceptions regarding Parks’s politics and legacy shape understandings of the movement writ large. In contesting Parks’s image as a quiet seamstress known only for a single political act\, and instead excavating her long and radical political career\, Theoharis illuminates the role of ideas about gender in shaping ideas about radicalism\, social movement participation\, and popular representation. \nCosponsored by Robin Kelley\, Gary B.
