SUMMARY:Describing LGBT and Gay Rights: A Longitudinal Analysis of Pro- And Anti-Gay Rights Groups’ Online Messages in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Asia Pacific Center\nDate: Thursday\, March 3\, 2022\nTime: 5:00 PM (PST)\nLocation: Online/Zoom \nREGISTER ONLINE \nTaiwan has become the first Asian country to legalize same-sex spousal rights with the passage of a special law in May 2019. The legalization of same-sex relationships in Taiwan is a highly-contested process\, with pro-and anti-gay rights groups competing with one another to win legitimacy over how even the idea of gay rights should be interpreted. To better understand the different discursive tools deployed by pro- and anti-gay rights activists between November 2013 and March 2020\, I adopt a thematic content analysis approach to generate a codebook and apply it to a corpus that includes Facebook public posts of the pro-gay rights group and anti-gay rights group with the largest number of followers\, respectively. The findings suggest that the pro-gay rights group is more likely to mention frames of anti-discrimination\, equality\, liberty\, and identity-building while their anti-gay rights counterpart relies heavily on frames of morality\, public interests\, democracy\, and anti-elitism. Furthermore\, the pro-and anti-gay rights activists have adopted specific localized framing elements to construct their policy messages\, including “Taiwan-China comparison\,” “indigenous people\,” and “ancestor veneration.” By treating framing as a dynamic process that changes over time\, it becomes possible to observe that activists’ framing patterns have changed in response to policy outcomes\, elite behavior\, and interaction with rival activists. \nShih-chan Dai studies the development of LGBTQ rights in East Asian countries as well as examines how digital technology has reshaped the way politics and activism work nowadays. His research is situated at the intersection of political communication\, social movements\, and LGBTQ politics. He received his PhD in political science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. During his postdoc at UCLA\, Shih-chan Dai is revising his dissertation into different journal articles and working on research topics related to gay rights in East Asia. \nThis event is part of the Asia Pacific Center’s UCLA Taiwan in the World lecture series. The Taiwan in the World lecture series aims to promote and disseminate knowledge about Taiwan’s society\, political system\, social structure\, and institutions in a global context\, and shed light on Taiwan’s political economy\, international relations\, and US-Taiwan-China relations. This series is organized by Taiwan in the World postdoctoral fellow Shih-chan Dai and supported with funding by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles. This lecture is cosponsored by the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, LGBTQ Campus Resource Center\, and Office of Equity\, Diversity & Inclusion.

SUMMARY:We Were There: The Third World Women's Alliance and the Second Wave
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the UCLA Department of Gender Studies\nBook Talk With Dr. Patricia Romney in conversation with Dr. Maylei Blackwell\nDATE: Tuesday\, March 8\, 2022\nTIME: 3:00 PM (PST)\nLOCATION: Virtual/Zoom (Registration Required) \nREGISTER ONLINE \nEVENT FLYER \nDr. Romney’s new book documents how the Alliance shaped and defined second wave feminism. From 1970 to 1980\, the Alliance lived the dream of third world feminism. The small bicoastal organization was one of the earliest groups advocating for what came to be known as intersectional activism\, arguing that women of color faced a “triple jeopardy” of race\, gender\, and class oppression. Widely recognized as the era’s primary voice for women of color\, this alliance across ethnic and racial identities was unique then and now.

SUMMARY:CSW Research Affiliate Brown Bag: South Carolina Philosopher: Louisa Susannah McCord
DESCRIPTION:A Talk by Carol Bensick\, PhD\nDATE: Friday\, March 18\, 2022\nTIME: 12:00 -1:00 PM (PST)\nLOCATION: Zoom (RSVP to receive link) \nREGISTER ONLINE \nEVENT FLYER \nThe South has been decidedly underrepresented in the growing canon of antebellum nineteenth century American women philosophers. Louisa McCord stands out as a promising candidate to correct this imbalance. In a period where the essay format was almost exclusively the province of men\, McCord wrote and published numerous essays in respected Southern journals. These were identified\, collected\, and edited in the mid 1990s. Even so\, the recovery of forgotten women philosophers was only getting underway at that time and many still went unnoticed. This talk will make a first step toward becoming acquainted with McCord and discovering the similarities and differences between her work and that of her already established contemporaries from the North. \nCarol Bensick earned her PhD in American Literary and Intellectual History from 1620 to 1914 at Cornell University. As a Research Affiliate at the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, she has given conference papers and published blog posts on unknown and barely known women philosophers such as Nancy Kingsbury Wollstonecraft of New Hampshire and Julia Ward Howe of Massachusetts\, as well as on John Dewey’s and William James’s interactions with women philosophical students and friends. Her chapters on philosophers Sarah Dorsey of Mississippi and Amalie Hathaway of Michigan are forthcoming in Springer and Oxford collections respectively. Her latest nineteenth-century philosophical interest is political essayist Louisa McCord of South Carolina.

SUMMARY:Asian & Gender Education Symposium (AGES)
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Asian Pacific Coalition\nDATE: Tuesday\, March 29\, 2022\nTIME: 9:30 AM-3:00 PM (PDT)\nLOCATION: Bruin Viewpoint Room in Ackerman Union \nEVENT WEBSITE\nREGISTER ONLINE \nAGES is a research symposium meant to engage its audience in research and academia and create discussion over how we can use research to mobilize and educate communities. Research is an important facet of creating change. The symposium aims to focus on research under an intersection of Asian and gendered lens and how we can rethink research as a facilitator for change rather than a subject gatekept to academia. \nThe Asian Pacific Coalition\, or APC\, is an umbrella organization that represents 20 Asian Pacific Islander and Desi American-related (APIDA) organizations on campus. As the Asian Pacific Coalition at UCLA\, we are dedicated to dismantling systems of racial oppression and striving for collective liberation through coalition-building with other communities of color. \nRESEARCHERS: \nNadeeka Karunaratne\, UCLA PhD Candidate\, Higher Education & Organizational ChangeElaine Tamargo\, UCLA PhD Student\, Higher Education & Organizational ChangeMegan Trinh\, UCLA Masters Student
