SUMMARY:Scope Lab Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Scope Lab is a workshop series focused on exploring code as a creative medium with which to understand and represent diverse perspectives. These studies are framed by the questions: “Whose perspectives are represented?”\, “Who has access to the tools to learn and express themselves?”\, and “How do we design tools and projects that are more inclusive?”. Each workshop will consist of hands-on programming exercises\, a lecture and discussion\, and projects developed collaboratively. We will be using a software platform called p5.js\, which is an open source JavaScript framework that makes creating visual media with code on the web accessible to artists\, designers\, educators\, and beginners. For questions or to sign up\, please write to scopelab@p5js.org.\n\nWHO IS SCOPE LAB?\nScope lab workshops are free and open for all UCLA students. Workshops may be attended on a drop-in basis\, but we do encourage students to come to the entire series. No prior coding knowledge is necessary\, all levels of experience are welcomed and encouraged. \nScope Lab is led by Lauren McCarthy\, Assistant Professor in the Design Media Arts Department and Miriam Posner\, Director of the Digital Humanities Program\, with Graduate Researchers Stalgia Grigg and Christina Yglesias. Collaborating groups and departments include UCLA Computer Science\, VoidLab (a feminist student collective in the Design Media Arts Department)\, UCLA Arts Software Studio\, and the NYU Ability Project. \n\n\nThe workshops will occur biweekly on Monday evenings\, from 5:30-7:30pm at the Broad Art Center\, room 3261A (New Mars). \nApril 10 | Uncertainty and Experimental Data Visualisation\nMiriam Posner (Digital Humanities) and Lauren McCarthy (Design Media Arts) \nApril 24 | Experimental Language Design\nAlessandro Warth (Computer Science) \nMay 8 | Feminist Artistic Strategies in Online Spaces\nVoidLab \nMay 22 | Multiperspectival Experimental Data Visualisation\nMiriam Posner (Digital Humanities) and Lauren McCarthy (Design Media Arts) \nJune 5 | Designing for Accessibility and Disability \nClaire Kearney-Volpe (NYU Ability Project) \n\n\nFURTHER READING\nCatherine D’Ignazio\, Lauren Klein\, Feminist Data Visualization\nShaka McGlotten\, Black Data\nJohanna Drucker\, 3DH Visualizations\nJohanna Drucker\, Humanities Approaches to Graphical Display\nMimi Onuoha\, Missing Data Sets\nMushon Zer-Aviv\, If Everything is a Network\, Nothing is a Network\nMelissa Gregg\, Inside the Data Spectacle\nKim Gallon\, Making a Case for the Black Digital Humanities  \n\n\nScope Lab is supported by a grant from the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture and the UCLA Center for the Study of Women.

SUMMARY:Chemical Entanglements: Gender and Exposure
DESCRIPTION:May 4-5\, 2017\nUCLA\nFREE and OPEN to the public!\nREGISTRATION NOW OPEN!\nThis symposium will convene a group of scholars\, scientists and community based researchers\, artists\, documentarians\, and policy makers to assess the gendered impacts of (primarily endocrine-disrupting) chemicals on human populations. By marshaling a variety of perspectives—laboratory\, ethnographic\, epidemiological\, and narrative\, this transdisciplinary collaboration will seek to explore how gender has made a difference in the public’s knowledge with regard to the cumulative effects of environmental toxins. Speakers will use methods from across scholarly disciplines to assess the way gendered patterns of exposure contribute to illnesses. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet researchers\, community organizers\, artists\, and innovators who are changing the way we approach: \n\nReproductive justice\, maternal health\, and endocrine disruption\nUrban oil drilling in Los Angeles\nIncome inequality\, environmental health\, and environmental justice\nExposure to indoor air pollution in homes and workplaces\nPesticides\, flame retardants\, and birth defects\nMultiple Chemical Sensitivity\, Toxicant-Induced Loss of Tolerance\, and exposure illness\nToxic personal care and cleaning products\nTraining the next generation of environmental innovators and advocates\n\nTravel Grants are available for non-UCLA graduate students and independent scholars to attend the Symposium!

SUMMARY:Forms of Power and the Power of Forms: Annual Comparative Literature Grad Student Conference
DESCRIPTION:This year’s UCLA Comparative Literature Graduate Conference will explore the many ways in which form colludes and contends with\, is created by and creates\, power. From epic poetry to the English sonnet to the novel\, literary forms have conspired with power to produce political identities and practices of domination. Indeed\, one might argue that certain forms were produced by and in the service of power in the first instance. Likewise\, writers and artists have mobilized (literary) form as a site for remix and resistance. Representation—literary\, visual\, or aural—necessarily involves structures of reading\, seeing\, and hearing that hyperlink to powerful modes of knowing and their rebellious detractors.\n\nKeynote speaker: Michelle M. Wright\, Professor of African American Studies and Comparative Literary Studies\, Northwestern University
