SUMMARY:Thinking Gender 2017: "Imagining Reparations"

Historically\, reparations have taken financial form with governments recognizing victims of perceived injustice by awarding them money. Such practices have depended on and have defined the law and dominant ideas of justice within states and empires. By contrast\, marginalized groups today are reframing reparations as capable of addressing historical and ongoing abuses\, evident in law itself and manifest in biological\, environmental\, educational\, technological\, institutionalized\, political\, and diplomatic violence. The daring to imagine new forms of reparative justice emerges from raced\, gendered\, and sexualized subjectivities\, which inform movements that devastate the binary between theory and practice in their struggle to be whole. A broad and intersectional investment in reparations challenges the assigning of rights and privileges in the past\, and it is an important tool in recasting the structures that impact our daily lives. \nThinking Gender 2017\, Imagining Reparations\, takes a cue from movements that conceive of violence and reparative justice intersectionally with consequences that shape and are shaped by gender\, sexuality\, race\, class\, ability\, etc. We invite presentations of work from across disciplines that embodies this intersectional ethos and\, in particular\, envision reparations through the lens of gender and sexuality. Conference sessions will include ample time for discussion of work\, emphasizing dialogue discussion\, writing as important modes of conference participation\, and exploring their potential as feminist\, decolonial tools for learning and action. Imagining Reparations aims to create cohesion among a broad range of disciplinary engagements\, theoretical stances\, and practical applications by providing space for thinking together about the role of the academy in theorizing tools for collective liberation from gendered and racialized violence. \nThank you to our Event Co-Sponsors:\nDivision of Social Sciences \nOffice of Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion \nDivision of Humanities \nCritical Race Studies Program \nDepartment of African American Studies \nDisability Studies Program \nInstitute of American Cultures \nLatin American Institute Program on Caribbean Studies \nDepartment of English \nDepartment of World Arts and Cultures/Dance \nDepartment of Comparative Literature \nRalph J.

SUMMARY:Sharra Vostral\, "Testing Tampons: Toxic Shock Syndrome\, Feminist Advocates\, and Absorbency Standards"
DESCRIPTION:Part of CSW’s Feminism + the Senses Lecture Series\nRSVP ONLINE: HTTP://WWW.CSW.UCLA.EDU/VOSTRAL\nDuring the 1980s in the aftermath of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)\, the Centers for Disease Control recommended that women use the least absorbent tampons possible\, yet manufacturers did not label boxes with reliable information.  This talk examines the establishment of the Tampon Task Force\, the contested “syngina” synthetic vagina lab apparatus to test tampon absorbency\, and the regulation of  female-specific tampon technologies.   The legacy of these efforts is the standardization of absorbency ratings as well as product labeling\, and evidence of the importance of feminist health activists’ involvement within policy negotiations. \nSharra Vostral is an Associate Professor of History in the College of Liberal Arts at Purdue University\, where she is affiliated with both Women’s\, Gender & Sexuality Studies\, and American Studies. Her research centers upon the history of technology\, specifically gender\, and histories of medical devices and health. Her book\, Under Wraps: A History of Menstrual Hygiene Technology examines the social and technological history of sanitary napkins and tampons\, and the effects of technology upon women’s experiences of menstruation. Her current research explores the 1980 health crisis of Toxic Shock Syndrome and its relationship to tampon technologies. \nShe received her Ph.D. in History at Washington University in St. Louis. She completed her M.A. in American Studies at St. Louis University\, and earned honors in Comparative Religion at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Before coming to Purdue\, she was an Associate Professor in Gender & Women’s Studies and History at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. \n  \nSupported by the Estrin Family Lecture Series Fund\n\nCO-SPONSORS:\nThe Bixby Center on Population and Reproductive Health\nThe Institute for Society and Genetics\nUCLA Department of History\nUCLA Center for Social Medicine and the Humanities
