SUMMARY:Flash Point 2017: Twenty-Five Years After the 1992 Los Angeles Uprising
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Meyer and Renee Luskin Lecture Series\nSince April 29\, 1992\, the city of Los Angeles has not been the same\, with racial tension peaking and riots sparking across the city making it clear that drastic change was being demanded in the relationship between police officers and racial minorities. Twenty-five years after the LA Uprising\, there is still a question of the treatment of people of color and the socio-political factors in Los Angeles. \nAs our city continues to navigate modern activism\, it is crucial to reflect on the history of political and social organizing that has created the Los Angeles of today. Join us as we utilize art and media to examine the socio-political factors that provoked the 1992 LA Uprising and its impact in the racial and economic climate in LA and across the US today. \nThe events will include two panels featuring a discussion of the evolution of community organizing as well as the role media\, particularly film\, has played in creating and reflecting social change. There will be a gallery displaying a variety of art inspired by the Uprising and a follow-up discussion with the artists. These events will be a co-program with the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival. \nRegister Here \n*Registration is required\, but does not guarantee seating. Seating is first come\, first served. Early arrival is suggested.* \nFriday\, April 28\n11 a.m.–5:15 p.m. Sa-I-Gu: The Los Angeles Uprisings 25 Years Later – Witnessing the Past\, Envisioning our Future\nThe UCLA Office of Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion will be hosting this day of panels\, Keynote Address\, and a CrossCheck Live to examine this historic event from multiple perspectives including community retrospectives\, contemporary analyses\, and forward-thinking dialogue that contemplates the future of Los Angeles. \nLocation: Luskin Conference Center\, 425 Westwood Plaza\, Los Angeles\, CA 90095 \nRSVP \n——————————————— \nFriday–Sunday\, April 28–30\nArt exhibit with work inspired by the 1992 L.A.

SUMMARY:A Day Without a Woman
DESCRIPTION:On International Women’s Day\, March 8th\, women and allies will act together for equity\, justice and the human rights of women\, through a one-day demonstration of economic solidarity. \nThe Women’s March supports the feminists of color and grassroots groups organizing the International Women’s Strike on International Women’s Day\, March 8th\, 2017. In the same spirit of love and liberation that inspired the Women’s March\, together we will mark the day by recognizing the enormous value that women of all backgrounds add to our socio-economic system–while receiving lower wages and experiencing greater inequities\, vulnerability to discrimination\, sexual harassment\, and job insecurity. \nAnyone\, anywhere\, can join by making March 8th A Day Without a Woman\, in one or all of the following ways: \n\nWomen take the day off\, from paid and unpaid labor\nAvoid shopping for one day (with exceptions for small\, women- and minority-owned businesses).\nWear RED in solidarity with A Day Without A Woman\n\nThe Women’s March celebrates the labor the International Women’s Strike organizers and others in planning global actions. We are also inspired by recent courageous actions like the “Bodega strike” lead by Yemeni immigrant store owners in New York City and the Day Without Immigrants across the U.S. We applaud the efforts of #GrabYourWallet and others to bring public accountability to unethical corporate practices. As we mark A Day Without a Woman\, we do so in support and solidarity of these and all efforts for equity\, justice and human rights. \nWhen millions of us stood together in January\, we saw clearly that our army of love greatly outnumbers that of fear\, greed and hatred. Let’s raise our voices together again\, to say that women’s rights are human rights\, regardless of a woman’s race\, ethnicity\, religion\, immigration status\, sexual identity\, gender expression\, economic status\, age or disability. \nRecognizing the multiple\, intersecting identities of women\, we support and admire these efforts: \n#DIVESTDAPL\n#GRABYOURWALLET\nFor more information on A Day Without A Woman\, please see their FAQs. \nFor a template letter to inform your employer of your participation in A Day Without A Woman\, click here. \nFor a template “Out of the Office” auto-response email\, click here. \nFor social media content and graphics\, please check out this page.

SUMMARY:Silencio Blanco:  Chiflón\, el Silencio del Carbón
DESCRIPTION:  \n“Full of creativity and rich in detail…the story is a classic of its kind.” —El Mercurio \nMass dismissals following a mine shaft collapse force a young miner to head for the Chiflón del Diablo mine—the most deadly pit of all. As he toils in danger deep underground\, his family faces a day-to-day struggle of uncertainty and anxiety. This exquisitely eloquent retelling of a story by the distinguished Chilean author Baldomero Lillo is played out in silence using simple marionettes fashioned from newsprint and chopsticks. Silencio Blanco creates their own language through gesture\, making the audience’s imaginations active participants in the interpretation of the story. The emotional and dramatic impact of this adaptation takes puppetry to new levels as Silencio Blanco confronts the black silence of Chile’s mining history. \nhttps://youtu.be/IW-pQBZBxIc \n

SUMMARY:From Colorblindness to White Nationalism?: Emerging Racial Formations in the Trump Era
DESCRIPTION:Critical Race Studies Ninth Annual Symposium\nFrom Colorblindness to White Nationalism?: Emerging Racial Formations in the Trump Era\nFriday March 3rd\, 2017 at the California NanoSystems Institute\, UCLA Campus\nDonald Trump’s political rise has been marked\, and fueled\, by a resurgent and explicit white nationalism. This would have been significant even had he merely been nominated and come close to the presidency\, rather than actually winning it. His victory\, however\, accelerates and deepens shifts in racial politics. Trump’s ascent seems new insofar as open assertions of white identity—and supremacy—conflict with the nominal commitments to colorblind ideology previously asserted from the center-left to the right. Moreover\, the pivot toward an intersectionally white\, masculinist nationalism seems to have disrupted neoliberal orthodoxy with regard to government spending and market regulation\, from infrastructure to trade. And yet\, this new racial politics also has been cast as a reaction to “political correctness” and reflects continuity with the mobilization of white racial resentment against affirmative action and all forms of race conscious remediation\, both staples of colorblind ideology. And critics long have argued that neoliberal politics already were deeply bound to racialized state violence. \nThe first Critical Race Studies Symposium of the Trump era provides an opportunity to articulate and interrogate these seeming contradictions. To what extent are we witnessing the emergence of a new racial formation in the United States\, the extension of deeply entrenched trajectories\, or both? What relationships can we discern amongst Trump’s most overtly racialized appeals – against Latinos in the name of immigration enforcement and sexual paternalism\, against African Americans in the name of “law and order” and stop-and-frisk policing\, against Muslims in the name of anti-terrorism and Christian national identity\, and against Native Americans and Native sovereignty in the name of resource development? And how do these bear on his (white masculinist?) “economic” policies with respect to trade\, infrastructure\, and manufacturing\, his approach to elections and “good government\,” to foreign policy\, and to the juxtaposition of LGBTQ rights retrenchment and emerging homonationalism? \nAGENDA \nPrintable Agenda \n8:30 – 9:30 am Registration / light breakfast \n9:00 – 9:15 am Welcome Remarks \n\nCheryl I. Harris / Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Professor in Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and Critical Race Studies Program Faculty Co-Director\, UCLA School of Law\nNoah Zatz / Professor and Critical Race Studies Program Faculty Co-Director\, UCLA School of Law\n\n9:15 – 10:30 am Panel 1: Restoring the White Nation: The Racialization of Immigrants \nThrough the manipulation of borders\, physical and conceptual\, current expressions of white nationalism are deeply invested in configuring the immigrant as a racial subject whose presence\, whether officially sanctioned by law or not\, whether formal citizen or not\, poses a threat to national identity and the political order. Thus\, while domestic populations with non-European immigrant origins and transnational communities are embedded in the national fabric\, they remain foreign in a racial sense to the white nation state. This panel will explore the various dimensions of this issue by considering how the expansion of markets and political instability create conditions for displacement and dislocation\, how immigration law and policy intersects with gender\, and further how the racial construction of domestic immigrant communities distorts and obscures realities. \n\nLeisy Abrego / Associate Professor\, César E. Chávez Department of Chicana/o Studies\, UCLA\nTendayi Achiume / Assistant Professor\, UCLA School of Law\nGary Segura / Dean\, UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs\n\nMODERATOR:\nJoseph Berra / Clinical and Experiential Project Director\, UCLA School of Law \n10:30 – 10:45 am Break \n10:45 – 12:00 pm Panel 2: Racialized State Violence \nSecuring the nation as a racially vulnerable white subject requires the identification and monitoring of enemies who are defined in racial terms as threats to national security at home\, agents of disorder globally\, and disruptions of normative gender and sexuality. This panel will explore the continuities and distinctions between emergent and earlier forms of racialized state violence and surveillance\, as legitimized and structured by law. While the historical origins of racialized state violence run deep and long\, to what extent has the Trump era intensified and created new forms and logics to justify both overt and less direct technologies of state violence and social control? How do these systems interrelate and reinforce each other? \n\nAslı Bâli / Professor\, UCLA School of Law and Director\, UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies\nPriscilla Ocen / Associate Professor\, Loyola Law School\, UCLA School of Law ‘06\nAnanya Roy / Professor of Urban Planning and Social Welfare and Director of the Institute on Inequality and Democracy\, UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs\n\nMODERATOR:\nSherod Thaxton/ Assistant Professor\, UCLA School of Law \n12:00 – 1:00 pm Lunch \n1:00 – 2:15 pm Panel 3: Racial Neoliberalism and White Supremacy \nNationalism routinely is figured in opposition to globalization\, and in particular to the transnational practices of neoliberal economic policies. And yet a specifically white racial character has facilitated transnational identification and collaboration among nationalisms in the US\, the UK\, and Russia\, to name a few. Meanwhile\, nationalisms long have provided a basis for the economic projects of racial capital ism\, as institutionalized in part through law\, and whether pursued through transnational imperialism\, settler colonialism\, or racial caste. This panel will explore the ongoing reconfiguration of these relations among race\, nation\, and political economy. \n\nCheryl I. Harris / Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Professor in Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and Critical Race Studies Program Faculty Co-Director\,UCLA School of Law\nSherene Razack / Distinguished Professor and Penny Kanner Endowed Chair in Women’s Studies\, UCLA Department of Gender Studies\nShannon Speed / Associate Professor\, UCLA Department of Anthropology\, and Director\, UCLA Native American and Indigenous Studies\n\nMODERATOR:\nNoah Zatz / Professor and Critical Race Studies Program Faculty Co-Director\, UCLA School of Law \n2:15 – 2:30 pm Break\n2:30 – 4:00 pm Panel 4: Race and Resistance: Social Movements in the Post-Trump Era \nAlongside the (re)emergence of a vocal white\, masculinist nationalism\, we are also witnessing the rise of widespread resistance to this articulation of the nation-state. Social movements that emerged in the wake of the 2016 election and those that have existed prior are reassessing strategies towards\, and their conception of\, racial and social justice. In this panel\, we will explore the formation of new political configurations and the response of existing social movements. Is it necessary for social movements to reimagine themselves in light of emergent threats\, or does this moment simply continue long-standing power structures\, racial and otherwise? How do we conceptualize effective and inclusive resistance\, with the simultaneous move towards a prioritization of intersectional analysis and the centering of the most vulnerable and marginalized populations as well as a backlash against “identity politics” and its perceived potential for divisiveness?

SUMMARY:Thinking Gender\, Imagining Reparations
DESCRIPTION:Star cluster image courtesy of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. \nThinking Gender\, Imagining Reparations\n27th Annual Thinking Gender Graduate Student Research Conference \nThis year’s conference theme\, Imagining Reparations\, engages contemporary social\, scholarly\, and literary movements that push to reimagine and retheorize what freedom\, justice\, health\, and care can look like. 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.

SUMMARY:The Murder of Fred Hampton: The Struggle Continues
DESCRIPTION:FILM AT REDCAT PRESENTS\nThe Murder of Fred Hampton: The Struggle Continues\nThe landmark documentary The Murder of Fred Hampton (1971\, 88 min.)\, by Howard Alk and Michael Gray\, is a testament to Black activism and a chilling record of covert police and FBI actions. Begun to portray the activities of the Chicago branch of the Black Panther Party and its dynamic young leader\, Fred Hampton\, the film becomes a passionate\, clear-eyed response to Hampton’s brutal assassination by police later that year. “Hampton’s killing was the gravest domestic crime of the Nixon administration\,” Noam Chomsky has said.\nThe screening is followed by a panel discussion with artist Sam Durant\, activist and educator Ericka Huggins\, and UCLA scholar Robin Kelley. \nCurated by Steve Anker and Bérénice Reynaud as part of the Jack H. Skirball Series. \n“The charismatic chair of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party accomplished a great deal before he was cut down at the age of 21. Hampton headed the Chicago chapter of the Panthers\, where he formed a multiracial “rainbow coalition” of organizations\, including Students for a Democratic Society\, the Blackstone Rangers street gang\, and a Puerto Rican organization known as the National Young Lords. He also started a community service program that included a free breakfast program for children and a free medical clinic\, and held political education classes.\nAnd under his leadership\, the Chicago Black Panthers monitored the police and looked out for instances of police brutality. Most of all\, Fred Hampton brokered a truce among Chicago’s major street gangs…\n…Hampton struggled against the same problems Black America faces today\, and lost his life for it. His life mattered.”\n-David A. Love\, theGrio \nThe Filmmakers\nFilmmakers Mike Gray and Howard Alk were already shooting a portrait of this charismatic speaker and community organizer when his murder occurred. Arriving at the crime scene only a few hours after the police raid\, the unsettling footage they captured was later used to contradict news reports and police testimony in what many believe to be Hampton’s assassination. Alk and Gray collaborated on several other documentary filmswith Gray’s Production Company\, The Film Group. The twoproduced American Revolution II (1969) and the seven part educational series Urban Crisis and the New Militants\, both works dealing with the race related social turmoil in Chicago at the time. \nThe Panelists\nSam Durant is a multimedia artist whose works engage a variety of social\, political\, and cultural issues. Often referencing American history\, his work explores the varying relationships between culture and politics\, engaging subjects as diverse as the civil rights movement\, southern rock music\, and modernism. He has had solo museum exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles\, Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen\, Dusseldorf\, S.M.A.K.\, Ghent\, Belgium and the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery in New Zealand. His work has been included in the Panamá\, Sydney\, Venice and Whitney Biennales. His work has been extensively written about including seven monographic catalogs and books. In 2006 edited a comprehensive monograph on Black Panther artist Emory Douglas’ work. His recent curatorial credits include Eat the Market at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Black Panther: the Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the New Museum in New York. He was a finalist for the 2008 Hugo Boss Prize and his work can be found in many public collections including The Art Gallery of Western Australia in Perth\, Tate Modern in London\, Project Row Houses in Houston and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Durant teaches art at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia\, California. \nEricka Huggins is an educator\, Black Panther Party member\, former political prisoner\, ally and poet. For 35 years\, Ericka has lectured in the United States\, and internationally\, Restorative Justice practices and\, the role of spiritual practice in creating and sustaining social change. In 2016\, in recognition of the 50th Anniversary of the Black Panther Party\, Ericka speaks about the importance of inclusive grassroots movements. From 2011 through 2015 Ericka was professor of Sociology and African American Studies in the Peralta Community College District. At Merritt College\, home of the Black Panther Party\, she co-created and taught a course\, “The Black Panther Party-Strategies for Organizing The People”. \nRobin Kelley is Professor and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History in the Department of History at the University of California\, Los Angeles. His research has explored the history of social movements in the U.S.\, the African Diaspora\, and Africa; black intellectuals; poverty studies and ethnography; colonialism/imperialism; organized labor; and constructions of race. Kelley’s essays have appeared in the Journal of American History\, African Studies Review\, New York Times Magazine\, Utne Reader\, New Labor Forum\, and Counterpunch. Kelly has written several books\, including: Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination\, and Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original.

SUMMARY:Insurgency at the Crossroads: A Book Talk by Aisha Finch
DESCRIPTION:In Rethinking Slave Rebellion in Cuba: La Escalera and the Insurgencies of 1841-1844\, Aisha Finch traces the emergence of a dynamic resistance movement of slaves and free people of color in nineteenth-century Cuba. Drawing from the largely unexplored testimonies in the Cuban National Archive\, this book focuses attention on the hundreds of enslaved people who forged a radical\, alternative vision of freedom in Cuba’s plantation countryside. Demonstrating that black slave women and non-elite slaves were critical to shaping and organizing this movement\, Rethinking Slave Rebellion in Cuba offers new ways to think about slave mobilizations\, black political struggles\, and histories of rebellion.\nRespondents:\nGeorge Lipsitz\, UC Santa Barbara\, Department of Black Studies\nUla Taylor\, UC Berkeley\, Department of African American Studies\nLisa Brock\, Kalamazoo College\, Department of History\nCo-sponsored by: The Departments of African American Studies and Gender Studies

SUMMARY:Lánzate
DESCRIPTION:Lánzate is  a national convening organized by Mijente\, a digital and grassroots hub for Latinx and Chicanx organizing and movement building. The convening brings together Latinx and Chicanx identified change-makers who seek to build social movement and community that is pro-Black\, pro-LGBTQ\, pro-worker\, pro-immigrant\, pro-planet rooted in self determination. The gathering features workshops and strategy sessions across issue and geography\, art\, music\, connection and exchange. This year the conference will be held in San Juan\, Puerto Rico this year to create a bridge for solidarity amongst Latinx people and galvanize support to address the ongoing crisis on the island. \n\n\n\n\n“In this charged moment of backlash matched with movement resurgence\, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. One key way we can recharge and center ourselves is precisely in the places where people have drawn a line in the sand. There are many of those places\, right now. And San Juan is one of them.”\n*Registration covers attendance to the conference.  \nIt does not include housing\, travel\, or all meals.
