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.

SUMMARY:The UCLA Political Sociology and the Global South Working Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:We\, the UCLA Political Sociology and the Global South Working Group\, are an intellectual community of graduate students and scholars who share interests on the intersecting issues of Global South socioeconomic development and underdevelopment\, political and social movements\, labor\, and state-society relations. Focusing on the developing world is a central element for us. We worry that much of the claims made in the name of ‘general sociology’ reflect instead the rather local experiences of the Western developed world. This group has been conceived upon the conviction that studying the multiple realities of the developing world can bring new insights into different areas of sociology. The meanings\, dynamics and analysis of “politics\,” “development” or “collective agency” in the Global South require us to rethink many taken for granted paradigms and concepts. \nThis working group is open to all regardless of enrollment status. \nOur meetings take place every other Friday in Haines 279\, between 14:00-15:30 –unless otherwise specified. \nNovember 18th: Steven McKay\, Professor of Sociology UCSC

SUMMARY:"70 Acres in Chicago" Lecture
DESCRIPTION:For 70 years\, there stood a Chicago public housing community known as Cabrini Green.\nHome to thousands\, misunderstood by millions\, Cabrini Green once towered over Chicago’s most valuable neighborhoods. A looming reminder of inequality and poverty\, Cabrini’s high-rises were demolished and an African-American community cleared to make room for another social experiment: mixed-income neighborhoods. \nShot over the course of 20-years\, 70 Acres in Chicago documents this upheaval\, from the razing of the first buildings in 1995\, to the clashes in the mixed-income neighborhoods a decade later. \n70 Acres in Chicago tells the volatile story of this hotly contested patch of land\, while looking unflinchingly at race\, class\, and who has the right to live in the city. \n  \n“70 Acres in Chicago” Info Sheet \n  \nDuring the lecture\, we will hear from the following: \nFilmmaker: Ronit Bezalel \nFeatured Resident & Producer: Mark Pratt \nFeatured Resident: Raymond J McDonald

The meanings\, dynamics and analysis of “politics\,” “development” or “collective agency” in the Global South require us to rethink many taken for granted paradigms and concepts. \nThis working group is open to all regardless of enrollment status. \nOur meetings take place every other Friday in Haines 279\, between 14:00-15:30 –unless otherwise specified. \nNovember 4th: William Robinson\, Professor of Sociology UCSB

SUMMARY:Deadline Extended! The UCLA Center for the Study of Women invites proposals for Thinking Gender 2017
DESCRIPTION:Star cluster image courtesy of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. \nCall for Submissions: \nThe UCLA Center for the Study of Women invites submissions of paper\, poetry\, spoken word\, film\, photography\, performance\, and poster proposals for their 27th 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 embody this intersectional ethos and 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. \nRegistered graduate students from any institution are eligible to submit presentation proposals for all Thinking Gender sessions\, including the panels\, plenary session\, multimedia salon\, and poster session. Registered undergraduate students from any institution are eligible to submit proposals for poster presentations and participation in the multimedia salon only. \nAPPLICATION REQUIREMENTS \nPanel Presentations \nPanels will consist of graduate student paper presenters and a UCLA faculty moderator who will read and provide detailed feedback and questions on each paper.\nTo apply\, submit:  \n\nPaper proposal\nWorks cited\nCV\n\nPlenary Session\nA number of exceptional papers will be selected from among those submitted for Panel Presen-tations and awarded the Think-ing Gender Plenary Prize. Those selected will present their papers on the Plenary Session\, and their work will be responded to by a distinguished guest scholar.\nTo apply:  \n\nComplete Panel Presentation application requirements by October 10th deadline\nSubmit a draft of your paper by Monday\, December 12.\n\nPerformance and Poetry\nWe invite submissions of poetry\, spoken word\, short film\, photography\, musical\, and other kinds of performance for a multimedia salon.\nTo apply\, submit:  \n\nDescription of your work and its relationship to the conference theme\nCV or Resume\nA short work sample\nDescription of any technology needs\n\nPosters\nGraduate students\, undergraduate students\, activists\, and community organizations will present visually compelling re-search posters\, the presentation of which will be integrated into the Multimedia Salon.

SUMMARY:Student Debt and Nonprofit Workforce Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Forum on Student Debt and the Nonprofit Workforce is hosted in partnership with StudentDebtCrisis.org. The Forum will be a blend of practical trainings and tools that can be used by nonprofit employers and employees to manage student debt. It will also be a call to action\, offering an opportunity to discuss what’s happening nationally and locally on this issue and how the nonprofit sector can engage in the debate. Join us for a day of learning\, discussion and action on a crucial issue. Register now! \nSCHEDULE\n8:30 AM: Registration & Continental Breakfast \n9:00 AM: The View From D.C. and the California Perspective \nStudent debt is a personal issue and a national crisis. So what are our representatives in Washington\, D.C. doing about it? Congressman Eric Swalwell (CA-15) is a national champion on the issue. We are fortunate to have him with us to share what it feels like to be a Congressman with student debt\, how it informs his position\, and what he thinks Congress will do to alleviate the student debt crisis in the future. He will also discuss his recently introduced legislation (“Know Your Repayment Options Act” and “Strengthening Forgiveness for Public Servants Act“)\, and ways we can work to get better debt relief programs implemented quickly. \nFollowing Congressman Swalwell’s national overview\, CalNonprofits Program Director Diana Dunker will discuss the California perspective. This year CalNonprofits conducted a detailed survey of nonprofit employees and employers – and got nearly 1\,000 responses! What did we learn about student debt from employees? What solutions did we find in the data? Diana will briefly discuss the results of our survey\, including a look at how California’s nonprofit sector both converges and diverges from national trends in student debt. \n10:30 AM: WORKSHOPS (Choose One)\n\nDebt Relief Options Workshop for Nonprofit Employees \nPublic Service Loan Forgiveness is the best loan forgiveness program available to anyone working for a nonprofit. Natalia Abrams\, Executive Director of Student Debt Crisis\, will present this workshop full of useful tools for individuals with student loans. Learn about the different types of student loans\, the available debt repayment plans\, ways to avoid default\, and how to take advantage of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. \nNonprofit Employer Toolkit for Combating Student Debt \nIn this workshop\, CalNonprofits Program Director Diana Dunker will unveil the newly developed employer toolkit full of useful\, free and low-cost opportunities for nonprofits as employers to support employees with student debt. Learn how to attract and retain talented employees using the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program\, simple steps for improving employee loyalty\, and why the economics of student debt are driving staff turnover. This workshop is designed for Executive Directors\, Human Resources staff\, and supervisors. \n12:00 PM: Nonprofit Student Debt Task Force Meeting (invitation only) \n1:00 PM – 4:00 PM: One-on-one consultations with Student Debt Crisis staff members Natalia Abrams and Cody Hounanian (limit 22) \n  \nFREE for Members / $30 for not-yet-members\nNote: Continental breakfast included\, lunch is not provided \n  \nCo-Sponsors\nThis Forum and the Nonprofit Student Debt Project are made possible by the Trustees’ Philanthropy Fund at Fidelity Charitable\, foundations who provide unrestricted support to CalNonprofits including the California Wellness Foundation\, the David & Lucile Packard Foundation and the Weingart Foundation\, and the thousands of nonprofit organizations that are members of CalNonprofits. \n  \nThe Forum is co-sponsored by the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network-LA\, the Institute on Inequality and Democracy at UCLA Luskin\, San Francisco Human Services Network\, Community Partners\, Valley Nonprofit Resources\, the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs at Cal State LA\, the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy\, and Antioch University Los Angeles Master of Arts in Nonprofit Management Program. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Southern California Grantmakers: 2016 Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:How can we as philanthropists “be the change” we wish to see in the world? By acting locally and having a global impact on the issues we care about most passionately.\nAs a sector\, region\, and global community\, we are facing major inequities around People (health\, gender\, social\, racial inequities)\, Planet (climate change and the environment)\, and Prosperity (economics and education). \nSCG members are eager to take the next step toward solving these complex challenges\, many of which\, until recently\, have been considered “too big” to take on by any one sector. We know that these interconnected issues require a combination of deep community knowledge and engagement. They also require an understanding of global context and impact\, such as the framework provided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. \nAt this year’s Annual Conference\, join hundreds of SCG members who are committed and energized\, eager to create positive change in communities here in Southern California and far beyond our borders. \n\n\n\n\n\nConference Highlights\n\nInteractive Breakout Sessions on taking local action with global impacts\nSpecial Spoken Word/Musical Performance by Bryonn Bain\, Artist and Activist\, UCLA Department of African American Studies\nSneak preview of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA presented by the Getty Foundation\n\n\n\nAGENDA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8:00 a.m. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n8:30 – 9:45 a.m. Check-in Opens  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9:45 – 10:00 a.m. Breakfast Breakout Sessions \nSocial Innovation to Catalyze Impact\nHow Data Can Influence Your Grantmaking\nThe Millennials Are Here: Engaging a New Generation\nPlacing Equity at the Center of Education Reform\nReal Costs + Real Relationships: Learnings from the Full Cost Pilot \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:00 – 10:15 a.m. Networking Break \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:15 – 11:30 a.m.Welcoming Remarks \nChristine Essel\, President and CEO\, SCG and\nWendy Garen\, Chair\, SCG Board of Directors and President and CEO\, The Ralph M.

But most low-income women who balance jobs and families face many obstacles that restrict their path to prosperity: limited education and job training opportunities\, minimal access to well-paid\, stable employment with benefits\, and a lack of affordable\, quality child care. The case for change is clear and momentum is building to address these issues through a gender equity lens. For example\, in 2015\, California instituted the California Fair Pay Act\, mandating that employees cannot be paid less than those of the opposite sex for “substantially similar work\,” even if their titles are different or they work at different sites. In this session\, panelists will share the latest on cross-sector collaborations and opportunities\, research\, and the possibilities for foundations\, government agencies\, and corporations to lift up women and girls\, and in turn\, their entire communities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4:00 – 5:00 p.m. Sneak Preview of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA presented by the Getty Foundation  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClosing Reception
