SUMMARY:Aurora Levins Morales\, "Justice is Our Medicine: Ecology\, Disability and Health"
DESCRIPTION:Aurora Levins Morales describes herself as “a writer\, an artist\, a historian\, a teacher and a mentor. I’m also an activist\, a healer\, a revolutionary.  I tell stories with medicinal powers. Herbalists who collect wild  plants to make medicine call it wildcrafting.   I wildcraft the details of the world\, of history\, of people’s lives\, and concentrate them through art in order to shift consciousness\, to change how we think about ourselves\, each other and the world. ” \nShe is the author of numerous books and essays\, including a chapter in the foundational volume This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color\, and\, most recently Kindling: New Writings on the Body and Cosecha and Other Stories  (co-authored with her mother\, Rosario Morales). \nIn response to chronic illness and disability\, Morales designed the Vehicle for Change\, an ecological\, sustainable\, non-toxic home\, built inside a 32 foot aluminum gooseneck trailer.  She says: “My traveling studio home is more than transportation and shelter.  It also embodies possibility and innovation.  It’s a manifestation of hope\, a solid\, three-dimensional expression of what I write about.  As I move around the country and beyond\, the fact of this vehicle\, and the need for it\, will underline and expand my words\, to help me talk about what we’re facing as a planet\, and how to face it.” \nJoin us for a talk by Aurora Levins Morales\, with discussion led by Robin Kelley. \nThis talk is part of “In the Interests of Justice: Bringing Theory into Practice.” Each of the six speakers in this series is engaged in producing vital knowledge about the relationships between health\, social inequity\, race\, gender\, and power. Featured scholars will share their recent or ongoing work\, and comment on the implications for changing and improving practice\, in the fields of law\, healthcare\, or social services\, in order to meet the needs of populations facing complex social\, health\, or disabling challenges. This series is a collaboration between Rapair\, a Los-Angeles based health and disability justice organization\, The UCLA American Indian Studies Center\, the UCLA Program in Disability Studies\, and the UCLA Department of Gender Studies. Funding and support are provided by NetCE.

SUMMARY:Specters of the Past: M. NourbeSe Philip Reading "Zong! As Told to the Author by Sataey Adumu Boateng"
DESCRIPTION:M. NourbeSe Philip is a poet and writer and lawyer who was born in Tobago and lives in Toronto. She has published novels\, essays\, and poetry\, and was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in poetry and a Rebels for a Cause award from the Elizabeth Fry Society of Toronto. Zong! is NourbeSe Philip’s most recent book of poetry. This extended poetry cycle is based on a legal decision\, at the end of the eighteenth century\, related to the murder of Africans on board a slave ship. \nIn November\, 1781\, the captain of the slave ship Zong ordered that some 150 Africans be murdered by drowning so that the ship’s owners could collect insurance monies. Relying entirely on the words of the legal decision Gregson vs Gilbert—the only extant public document related to the massacre of these African slaves—Zong! tells the story that cannot be told yet must be told. Equal parts song\, moan\, shout\, oath\, ululation\, curse\, and chant\, Zong! excavates the legal text. Memory\, history\, and law collide and metamorphose into the poetics of the fragment. Through the innovative use of fugal and counterpointed repetition\, Zong! becomes an anti-narrative lament that stretches the boundaries of the poetic form\, haunting the spaces of forgetting and mourning the forgotten.

SUMMARY:Delicious: A History of Monosodium Glutamate and the Fifth Taste Sensation\, Umami
DESCRIPTION:Part of Dishing: Food\, Feminism\, and the Way We Eat. Video now available on YouTube!\n \nA talk by Sarah Tracy\, Adjunct Assistant Professor at the UCLA Center for the Study of Women and the UCLA Institute for Society and Genetics\n \nRSVP online! \nIn this talk\, Sarah Tracy will discuss the material and immaterial dimensions of pleasure\, pain\, guilt\, and regret around eating processed and prepared foods. She does so through the case study of self-identified MSG sensitivity – as archived in official FDA reporting channels and in online community forums\, e.g. blogs\, consumer advocacy groups\, Reddit. These questions are in reference to broader discussions of the gendered moral economies of food provision and preparation\, and that casual privilege called eating/dining out. Who’s worrying about what to eat –  and how “good” it is? Going down? Going through? Coming out? These and other abiding concerns are a kind of emotional labor that has\, historically\, been feminized in the U.S. \nSarah Tracy is an historian of the recent past\, and of the United States in the world. Her work draws on feminist science and technology studies (STS)\, food studies\, post-colonial theory\, sensory history\, and critical histories of capitalism. \nTracy’s dissertation is called\, “Delicious: A History of Monosodium Glutamate and Umami\, the Fifth Taste Sensation\,” and it examines two interrelated objects: the global commodity and flavour enhancer monosodium glutamate (MSG)\, and umami (roughly translated from the Japanese as “delicious”)\, the fifth basic taste that MSG is understood to confer. This project situates umami within translations of the life sciences between Japan and the United States\, and shows how the metabolics of taste are inseparable from global capitalisms. It brings feminist STS into conversation with sensory history\, cultural history\, and post-colonial studies to foster cross-disciplinary insight into how foods mediate value\, health\, class\, race\, happiness\, and violation. \nTracy maps how MSG explodes our categories of food\, drug\, and toxin. She trace the additive’s journey from Japan and across the globe and analyzes how it has been fetishized\, racialized\, and vilified. Tracy considers MSG as a focus point for connecting questions of authenticity and risk in foods; for connecting the state of knowledge in sensory science\, neuroscience\, and food design and marketing; and for thinking about how our food systems organize not only ways of being human (class\, ethnicity\, region)\, but the ways of being of creatures large and small (e.g. the laboratory mice in safety and cancer testing\, the farmed bacteria who produce the glutamic acid we eat when we eat MSG). \nTracy’s research has been published in Global Food History\, and is forthcoming in Radical History Review.

SUMMARY:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag: Gisèle Maynard-Tucker\, "Women's Power\, Sexuality\, and Aging: A Multicultural View"
DESCRIPTION:  \nBring your lunch and join CSW’s Research Affiliates for a brown bag research presentation! \nWomen’s Power\, Sexuality\, and Aging: A Multicultural View\nby Gisèle Maynard-Tucker\nIn her research on rural Peru and urban Los Angeles\, Gisèle Maynard-Tucker assesses the impact of the environment\, culture\, economics\, and gender inequalities on the treatment of women as they age. Based on literary data\, observations and other research\, it seems that women acquire more respect in ethnic societies with age\, while in Los Angeles aging becomes a curse because of the cult of youthfulness. \nGisèle Maynard-Tucker is a medical and applied anthropologist affiliated with the Center for the Study of Women (CSW) at UCLA since 1989. She holds a Ph. D. in anthropology from UCLA (1988) and has worked as an international consultant since the 1990s for development agencies such as WHO\, USAID\, World Bank\, European Union\, POPTECH\, Development Associates\, Academy for Educational Development and many others. She has conducted research and evaluation of health programs regarding family planning\, reproductive health\, maternal and child survival and HIV/AIDS prevention in Africa\, India\, South America\, Asia\, and the Caribbean. Her recent book examines women’s health in developing countries and is titled “Rural Women’s Sexuality\, Reproductive Health and Illiteracy: A Critical Perspective on Development (Lexington Books\, 2015). \nPlease RSVP online.
