DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Department of English\nDate: May 4\, 2018 \nTime: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM \nLocation: California Room\, UCLA Faculty Center \nThe one-day Crescent Moon Symposium (May 4\, 2018) explores the lives of philosopher Hu Shih 胡适 (1891-1962)\, poet Xu Zhimo 徐志摩 (1897-1931)\, scholar/Shakespearean Liang Shiqiu 梁实秋\, writer/painter Ling Shuhua 凌淑华 (1900-1990)\, and their literary communities.  The quartet of bilingual intellectuals epitomized the vibrant East-West exchanges in the wake of the May Fourth movement. All four were members of the Crescent Moon Society 新月社\, established by Xu Zhimo and Hu Shi and designed as a counterpart of the Bloomsbury Group of England. Three also happened to be prolific epistolary writers. A cosmopolitan friendly with Katherine Mansfield\, Roger Fry\, and Rabindranath Tagore\, Xu was most famous for his Chinese poetry and love letters. Hu Shi corresponded with Bertrand Russell\, Arthur Waley\, and a number of American literary luminaries. Ling Shuhua corresponded with Virginia Woolf\, Vanessa Bell\, and Julian Bell. \nTwo of the four keynote speakers are descendants of Xu Zhimo and Ling Shuhua\, respectively: Tony S. Hsu 徐善曾\, Xu Zhimo’s only grandson and author of Chasing the Modern《志在摩登》(2017); Sasha Su-Ling Welland 魏淑凌 (U of Washington)\, grandniece of Ling Shuhua and author of A Thousand Miles of Dreams: The Journeys of Two Chinese Sisters (2007). The other two keynoters are Susan Chan Egan 陈毓贤\, co-author of A Pragmatist and His Free Spirit: The Half-Century Romance of Hu Shi and Edith Clifford Williams (2009)\, and Michelle Yeh (UC Davis)\, author of Modern Chinese Poetry: Theory and Practice since 1917 (1991). The symposium will also feature a round table discussion of the Crescent Moon Society (a literary society named after a volume of prose poems by Rabindranath Tagore) and its Bloomsbury connection\, and a literary salon with bilingual readings\, songs\, slides\, and documentaries about Xu\, Hu\, and Ling. Round table participants include the four keynoters\, visiting scholar Liu Cong 刘聪 (Liang Shiqiu 梁实秋 scholar)\, and three UCLA faculty members (Michael Berry 白睿文\, King-Kok Cheung 张敬珏\, Louise Hornby).

SUMMARY:Kristine Gunnell\, "Grantmaking for  Systemic Change: Daughters of Charity\, Seton Institute\, and  Alleviating Poverty in the Global South\, 1985-2010"
DESCRIPTION:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag Talk\nA talk by Kristine Gunnell\, Research Affiliate\, UCLA Center for the Study of Women\nCommitted to easing suffering wherever they find it\, Daughters of Charity in the western United States founded Seton Institute for International Development in 1985. Through its fundraising and in-kind distribution programs\, the institute offered targeted support for Catholic sisters engaged in primary health care activities in Africa\, Asia\, and Latin America. A case study of faith-based non-profits\, the institute’s history illustrates Catholic efforts to strengthen transnational ties among sisters\, while also promoting practices to spur systemic change to reduce poverty in local communities throughout the Global South. \nKristine Gunnell is a research affiliate at the UCLA Center for the Study of Women. Gunnell’s book\, Daughters of Charity: Women\, Religious Mission\, and Hospital Care in Los Angeles\, 1856-1927 (DePaul University Vincentian Studies Institute\, 2013) illustrates the innovative ways that these Catholic sisters adapted to the changing demands of the emerging hospital industry while maintaining their religious mission to care for the sick and poor. While her previous work focused on the Daughters’ early history in Los Angeles\, Gunnell has recently turned her attention to the sisters’ activities in the late twentieth century. Her current book project focuses on the efforts of the Daughters of Charity Foundation to promote systemic change as it seeks to combat poverty in California and elsewhere in the world. \nDATE: Thursday\, May 10\nTIME: 12-1:30 p.m.\nLOCATION: Rolfe 2125\nBring your lunch!\nRSVP online: https://uclacsw.submittable.com/submit/107912/free-registration-grantmaking-for-systemic-change-by-kristine-gunnell

SUMMARY:Representing the Sex Industries
DESCRIPTION:Representing the Sex Industries\nWith Dr. Beth Ribet\, Co-Director of Repair\nDate: Tuesday\, May 15\, 2018 \nTime: 4:00 – 6:00 PM \nLocation: UCLA School of Law\, Room 3467 \nIn this lecture and dialogue\, Dr. Beth Ribet\, who will be introduced by Professor Claudia Peña\, will address the framing and representation of people in systems of prostitution in popular media\, academic theory\, political discourse\, and in the criminal justice system. Within this discussion\, Dr. Ribet will explore the contemporary politics of sex trafficking rhetoric\, and will specifically introduce analysis of the recent framing\, in right-wing media\, of Donald Trump as an anti-trafficking hero supposedly responsible for the rescue of trafficked children and women. She will also delve into the history and ramifications of the dichotomy between the terms “sex work” and “sex trafficking”\, and will identify the need for feminist\, race-conscious analysis and interventions to address the relationship between whiteness\, white women\, and pimping in the United States. Dr. Ribet’s lecture will conclude with discussion of the hyper-vulnerability of sexually exploited youth and adults\, and the prospects for advancing survivor-driven approaches to comprehending and naming the sex industries. Discussion and commentary will follow by Jyoti Nanda\, Binder Clinical Teaching Fellow at UCLA School of Law. \nOrganized by Repair. Co-sponsored by CSW\, UCLA Department of Gender Studies\, and the UCLA Law Youth and Justice Clinic. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Area Impossible: Sexuality and Geopolitics Symposium
