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? What is the role of lawyers and the legal community in creating social change in this environment? What legal strategies need to be deployed considering the administration’s posturing vis-á-vis the judiciary? And given the multiple fronts on which resistance efforts are being fought\, how can social movements remain sustainable and impactful over the long-term? \n\nIgnacia Rodriguez / Immigration Policy Advocate\, National Immigration Law Center\, UCLA School of Law ‘13\nAmeena Mirza Qazi / Executive Director\, National Lawyers Guild Los Angeles\nZack Mohamed / Los Angeles Organizer\, Black Alliance for Just Immigration\nMelanie Yazzie / Acting Assistant Professor\, Gender & Sexuality Studies\, UC Riverside\n\nMODERATOR:\nJasleen Kohli / Director\, Critical Race Studies Program\, UCLA School of Law \n4:00 – 4:15 pm Closing Remarks \n\nJasleen Kohli / Director\, Critical Race Studies Program\, UCLA School of Law\n\n4:15 – 6:00 pm Reception \n——————– \nPlease fill out the form linked here in order to register.

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. \n\n

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.
