SUMMARY:Call for Papers DEADLINE — Race & Capitalism Graduate Student Conference
DESCRIPTION:For the first Race and Capitalism Graduate Student Conference\, the Center for the Study of Race\, Politics and Culture (CSRPC) at the University of Chicago invites submissions from graduate students working on questions and on topics related more broadly to racial capitalism. They are particularly interested in work that discusses theories of racial capitalism (either with regards to intellectual history or with regards to contemporary fit and theoretical coherence)\, the gendered aspects of racial capitalism\, racial capitalism & migration and racial capitalism & the rise of finance. The conference will also provide a chance for graduate students working on racial capitalism to connect with each other and the national Race and Capitalism Project. \nThe deadline to submit an abstract is February 1\, 2018. To apply\, please submit an abstract of 500 words or less\, and complete this form. \nAbout the Race and Capitalism Project \nThe Race and Capitalism Project Graduate Conference is part of the Race and Capitalism project initiated by the Center for the Study of Race\, Politics and Culture (CSRPC) at the University of Chicago. It seeks to provide a platform for graduate students interested in the topic to exchange ideas and connect. The Race and Capitalism project is a multi-institution collaboration that seeks to reinvigorate\, strengthen and deepen scholarship on how processes of racialization within the U.S. shaped capitalist society and economy and how capitalism has simultaneously shaped processes of racialization. This project was initiated and conceived at the CSRPC and the Washington Institute for the Study of Inequality and Race (WISIR) at the University of Washington. Central questions include: 1) What is the relationship between racial and economic inequality; 2) How has the relationship between various racial and ethnic groups\, the economy and civil society changed over time; and 3) What theoretical approaches to the studies of capitalism and race best explain the empirical reality of 21st century capitalism.

SUMMARY:At the Limits of Urban Theory: Racial Banishment in the Contemporary City
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by LSE Cities\nSHEIKH ZAYED THEATRE\, NEW ACADEMIC BUILDING \nIn cities around the world\, especially in the United States\, processes of socio-spatial restructuring continue to unfold. Often understood as neoliberal urbanism and often identified through concepts such as gentrification\, these processes entail the displacement of subaltern classes to the far edges of urban life. In this talk\, Ananya Roy argues that it is necessary to analyse such transformations through a theorisation of racial capitalism. \nIn particular\, she draws on research conducted by scholars and social movements in Los Angeles to delineate processes of racial banishment. In doing so\, Roy argues that the standard conceptual repertoire of urban studies is ill-equipped to study such processes. In particular\, influential explanations that invoke neoliberalisation often miss the long histories of dispossession and disposability that are being remade in the contemporary city. Put another way\, she makes the case for how urban studies must contend with legacies of white liberalism and the elision of the race question. Relying on both postcolonial theory and the black radical tradition\, Roy demonstrates that what is at stake is not only a more robust analysis of urbanism but also attention to the various forms of movement and mobilisation that are challenging racial banishment. \nAnanya Roy (@ananyaUCLA) is Professor of Urban Planning\, Social Welfare and Geography and inaugural Director of the Institute on Inequality and Democracy at UCLA Luskin. She holds The Meyer and Renee Luskin Chair in Inequality and Democracy. \n  \nRicky Burdett (@BURDETTR) is Professor of Urban Studies at the LSE and Director of LSE Cities and the Urban Age Programme. He was curator of the Conflicts of an Urban Age exhibition at the 2016 International Architecture Biennale in Venice and contributed to the United Nations Habitat III conference on sustainable urbanisation in Quito. \nLSE Cities (@LSECities) is an international centre at the London School of Economics and Political Science that carries out research\, graduate and executive education and outreach activities in London and abroad. Its mission is to study how people and cities interact in a rapidly urbanising world\, focussing on how the design of cities impacts on society\, culture and the environment. \nTwitter Hashtag for this event: #LSEAnanyaRoy \nThis event is free and open to all. However\, a ticket is required\, only one ticket per person can be requested. \n\nThis event will be webcast live on the LSE website on LSE LIVE.

SUMMARY:Plans for Freedom: Sanctuary\, Abolition\, and Reconstruction in the Age of Trumpism
DESCRIPTION: Thursday\, February 22\, 2018 at 6:00pm to 8:00pm \n Building 7\, 429\n77 MASSACHUSETTS AVE\, Cambridge\, MA 02139 \n\nMIT Department of Architecture / Spring 2018 Lecture Series\nOrganized with MIT Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architecture Students (NOMAS) \nThe Trump presidency has brought to sharp light the enduring racial inequalities through which liberal democracy is constituted and lived.  In this talk\, Ananya Roy examines imaginations and practices of resistance\, from sanctuary cities to professional refusal\, against regimes of white nationalism. But she also places the present historical conjuncture in the broader history of racial capitalism and return to the “freedom dreams” of black reconstruction and the project of abolitionism. Roy argues that our disciplines and professions have a role to play in such plans of freedom. \n\nAnanya Roy is Professor of Urban Planning\, Social Welfare\, and Geography and founding Director of the Institute on Inequality and Democracy at the University of California\, Los Angeles where she holds the Renee and Meyer Luskin Chair in Inequality and Democracy.  Previously she was on the faculty at the College of Environmental Design at UC Berkeley.  Ananya’s research and scholarship has a determined focus on poverty and inequality and lies in four domains: how the urban poor in cities from Kolkata to Chicago face and fight eviction\, foreclosure\, and displacement; how global financialization\, working in varied realms from microfinance to real-estate speculation\, creates new markets in debt and risk; how the efforts to manage and govern the problem of poverty reveal the contradictions and limits of liberal democracy; how new programs of welfare and human development are being demanded and made in the global South. Ananya is the author of several books including Poverty Capital: Microfinance and the Making of Development (Routledge\, 2010)\, which received the Paul Davidoff book award from ACSP.  Her most recent book is Encountering Poverty: Thinking and Acting in an Unequal World (UC Press\, 2016).  During the last year\, Ananya’s public scholarship has challenged white supremacy and white power.  From the short video\, “3 Truths About Trumpism\,” to the organization of a nationwide day of Teach.Organize.Resist\, her work mobilizes the power of knowledge to divest from whiteness.

SUMMARY:Protecting Renters: Discussions of Rent Control\, Stabilization\, and Evictions
DESCRIPTION:California’s housing crisis is hitting renters hard. With rents fast increasing in Los Angeles\, many people are scared. Whether they fear rent increases that push housing costs out of reach or being scared that improvements to the building mean a rent increase is imminent\, the rental market can be scary. California is known for strong tenant protections\, but existing state laws like the Ellis Act (evicting tenants to convert buildings to ownership) or Costa-Hawkins Act (not allowing new construction to be under rent control) weakens these tenant protections. What’s the appetite for reforming these laws? How are they currently affecting residents in Los Angeles? What can be done to put renters in Los Angeles on a more stable foundation? \nSpeakers: \nJoan Ling\, UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs \nTony Samara\, Urban Habitat \nDoug Smith\, Public Counsel \nModerator: \nMike Lens\, UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs \nLunch will be provided. \nLivestream available here.
