SUMMARY:Ruling Passions: Sexuality\, Science and the (Post)colonial State
DESCRIPTION:The past decade or so has witnessed a rapid rise in scholarship that seeks to seize or transform the language of the “science” for liberatory ends. Such an attachment to the reparative and/or divisive logic of “science” is most evident in minoritized knowledge-formations such as sexuality studies and colonial/postcolonial studies. In the face of contemporary challenges about the limits of scholarship bowing out to the forces of globalization\, the colloquium will examine what is at stake for sexuality studies and postcolonial studies to carve out a critical relationship to histories of science? \nThe types of issues we envisage participants addressing will engage three central questions: \nWhat are the conversations instituted about sexuality in relationship to the colonial and postcolonial state in the global south?\nHow does sexuality studies’s own adherence/attachment to science studies parochialize key assumptions about freedom\, rights and the subject?\nWhat are the ways in which modalities of sentiment\, affect\, emotion entangle with the logic of state discourses and what role does sexuality play within such exchanges? \nSchedule:\n10:00am–10:15am: Introductory Remarks\nAnjali Arondekar\, Feminist Studies\, UCSC \n10:15am-10:30am: Poetic Techne\nRonaldo Wilson\, Literature\, UCSC \n10:30-12:30: The Arabic Freud and the Invention of the Psychosexual Subject\nOmnia El Shakry\, History\, UC Davis\nRespondent: Alma Heckman\, History\, UCSC \n12:30-1:30: Break \n1:30-3:30: Origins and the Sexuality of Science in Colonial India\nDurba Mitra\, History\, Fordham\nRespondent: Megan Moodie\, Anthropology\, UCSC \nParticipants:\nDurba Mitra\, Department of History\, Fordham University \nOrigins and the Sexuality of Science in Colonial India \nDurba Mitra is an assistant professor of history at Fordham University. She is currently a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the Penn Humanities Forum at the University of Pennsylvania for the year of “Sex.” \nOmnia El Shakry\, Department of History\, UC Davis \nThe Arabic Freud and the Invention of the Psychosexual Subject \nOmnia El Shakry specializes in the the intellectual history of the Arab world and Europe\, with a special emphasis on the history of the human sciences in Egypt.

She is the author of The Enculturated Gene: Sickle Cell Health Politics and Biological Difference in West Africa (Princeton\, 2011)\, which examines how structural adjustment policies in Africa affected not only the lived experiences of sickle cell patients in Senegal\, but also influenced the genetic science about them. \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Ruth Wilson Gilmore: "Organized Abandonment and Organized Violence: Devolution and the Police"
DESCRIPTION:EVENT VIDEO:\n \nEVENT PHOTOS:\n \n  \nCITY ON A HILL PRESS ARTICLE:\n \nThe UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies invited Ruth Wilson Gilmore to UC Santa Cruz to discuss police violence and mass incarceration in a lecture called “Organized Abandonment & Organized Violence: Devolution and The Police.” Her discussion in the UCSC Music Recital Hall on Nov. 9 paralleled the theme of her prize-winning publication “Golden Gulag\,” a prescient examination of California prisons and the consequences of a punitive justice system. Continue Reading Article \n  \n\nEVENT INFO:\n“America locks up too many people for too many offenses\, jamming prisons\, ruining families and running up steep taxpayer bills. That’s the party line on mass incarceration heard from social critics for years\, but now it’s coming from a new chorus: police chiefs by the score.” –San Francisco Chronicle\, October 22\, 2015 \nOn November 9\, the UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz will examine the issue of police and prisons with a free public lecture by Ruth Wilson Gilmore. The title of her talk is “Organized Abandonment & Organized Violence: Devolution & the Police.” Feminist studies professor Bettina Aptheker\, co–chair of the UC Presidential Chair with literature professor Karen Yamashita\, explained why they decided to bring Gilmore to campus. \n“Several years ago\, Ruth Wilson Gilmore wrote a timely and significant book\, ‘Golden Gulag: Prisons\, Surplus\, Crisis\, and Opposition in Globalizing California\,’ published by the University of California Press\,” said Aptheker. “Gilmore\, a well-known public intellectual\, documents in this book the ways in which California embarked upon the largest prison-building project in its and the nation’s history. Her work critically examines the political and economic forces that combined to propel such an ominous course.” Aptheker added that despite a crime rate that has been steadily declining for decades\, California continues to incarcerate\, even in the face of federal court orders to reduce its overcrowded and repressive system. “Most affected by these rates of incarceration are men and women of color\,” Aptheker noted. Continue Reading \nRuth Wilson Gilmore is Professor of Earth & Environmental Sciences\, and American Studies at the Graduate Center\, CUNY. She has many honors and awards\, and has delivered invited lectures at universities and cultural institutions around the world. Among many publications\, her prize-winning book is Golden Gulag: Prisons\, Surplus\, Crisis\, and Opposition in Globalizing California (2007). Current projects include a second edition of Golden Gulag\, as well as several other book projects: Fatal Couplings: Essays on Motion\, Racial Capitalism\, and the Black Radical Tradition; and Big Things: Reconfigured Landscapes and the Infrastructure of Feeling. She is a member of the Executive Committee of the Institute for Research on the African Diaspora in the Americas and The Caribbean (IRADAC)\, and serves on the boards of many social justice\, cultural\, and scholarly formations in the US\, Europe\, and West Asia. She was a founding member of Critical Resistance\, California Prison Moratorium Project\, and other grassroots organizations. \nUCSC Sponsors\nUC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies\nUC Presidential Chair in Criminal Justice Reform\nInstitute for Humanities Research\nArts Division \nDirections & Parking\nThe Music Center is located east of Heller Drive\, and is best accessed from the West Entrance of the campus.

SUMMARY:Comparative Empires: Feminist Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Histories of empire have been tethered over-determinedly to singular histories of nation-states\, temporalities and/or geopolitics. Rather than locate empire as a stable or temporal concept\, the colloquium attends to the imaginative possibilities offered by a turn to a more comparative relationship to empire within a south-south framework. To do so\, we turn to two clusters of critical attachments that are rarely configured through and against the language(s) of empire (1) How do we understand empire delinked from locality\, and locality delinked from geopolitical territory? (2) How do we attend to a politics of comparative empires that would be less about given political identities and geographies and more about vernacular epistemologies shaping\, social and human collectivities? To attend to these issues\, the colloquium foregrounds south-south engagement and brings together work on empire from South Asia\, African diaspora studies and aboriginal/indigenous histories. \n  \nVIDEO: \n \n  \n \nPHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n\n  \nProgram\n10:00 AM – Introductory Remarks\nAnjali Arondekar\, Feminist Studies\, UC Santa Cruz \n10:10 AM – “Silent Incantations “\nRonaldo Wilson\, Literature\, UC Santa Cruz \n10:30 AM – “A Minor History of Empire: Indenture\, Abolition\, and the Post-bellum Polity” \nMrinalini Sinha\, History\, University of Michigan \n12:00 PM – Lunch \n1:30 PM – “Engaging Geontopower\, Films by the Karrabing Film Collective”\nElizabeth Povinelli\, Anthropology\, Columbia University\nRespondent: Mayanthi Fernando\, Anthropology\, UC Santa Cruz \n3:00 PM – Tea Break \n3:30 PM – “An Ethereal Girl in an Imperial World: Inside U.S. Empire with Grace Halsell”\nRobin D.G.

SUMMARY:The Feminist Architecture of Gloria Anzaldúa: New Translations\, Crossings and Pedagogies in Anzaldúan Thought
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nA Conference on the Work of Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa\nGloria Evangelina Anzaldúa — poet\, philosopher\, and critical scholar — founded\, wrote\, and encouraged a transformative body of writing and scholarship\, with generative influences on critical race\, feminist\, queer\, and decolonizing ways of knowing. Importantly for UCSC\, Anzaldúa was a vital presence on our campus for over twenty years\, and her legacy is a profound part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the campus. \nThe UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies is proud to initiate a celebration of the intellectual legacy of Gloria Anzaldúa. This year-long celebration includes a series of undergraduate workshops and creative writing seminars\, advanced study seminars for graduate students and faculty\, performances by artists and poets as part of the creative writing Living Writers’ reading series\, and an installation of Anzaldúa’s writing altar from her archives in McHenry Library’s Special Collections. Finally\, our celebration will culminate in a two-day (April 10-11\, 2015) scholarly conference: The Feminist Architecture of Gloria E. Anzaldúa: New Translations\, Crossings\, and Pedagogies in Anzaldúan Thought. \nConference Description\nBeginning with her co-editorship of This Bridge Called My Back: Writing by Radical Women of Color (1981) to the foundational Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987) to the anthologies Making Face\, Making Soul/Haciendo Caras (1990) and This Bridge We Call Home: Radical Visions for Transformation (2002)\, the collection of engagements in Interviews/Entrevistas (2000)\, The Gloria Anzaldúa Reader (2009) and her children’s books\, the work of Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa has greatly influenced critical race\, feminist\, queer and decolonizing theories of an active subjectivity and agency. Her worldview as intellectual\, lesbian of color\, poet\, teacher privileges the knowledge that comes from experiencing life in-between spaces—the border dweller\, the queer\, the colored\, and the mestiza. Embracing ambiguity\, liminality and border thinking\, Anzaldúa affirms life from within these spaces. Her call for women of color\, particularly lesbians of color\, to write\, engage and interrogate the world\, challenges the hegemony of knowledge production and categorical logic. The movement of U.S. third world feminists that Anzaldúa initiates centers coalitional politics and intersectional analysis of the lived experiences of women of color\, yet there continues to be a problem of legibility\, a misrecognition and appropriation of the theoretical contributions of these writers (Perez\, 2010). I believe that it is the issue of legibility that deflects scholars’ attention from engaging Anzaldúan thought in the critical ways that it deserves. \nThis will be a 2 day conference\, April 10-11\, to think together about the work of Gloria Anzaldúa with scholars who are engaging purposefully\, where discussions will center around these questions: \n● How do the efforts of the El Mundo Zurdo conference\, new archival material and translations invite us to participate and connect in new ways the living heart of Anzaldúa’s work?\n● How have scholars engaged/translated Anzaldúan theory into pedagogical practices\, either through alternative methodologies or epistemologies?\n● How is Anzaldúa’s work engaged with current theories of the post-human\, settler colonialism\, or decolonial thinking?\n● What provocations can we take from Anzaldúa’s work?\n● How do we move Anzaldúa 1.0 to Anzaldúa 2.0? \n\n  \nConference Schedule\nFRIDAY \nLocation: Humanities 1 Room 210 \n3:00pm Welcome\nBettina Aptheker and Karen Yamashita\, UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race & Ethnic Studies\nFelicity Amaya Schaeffer and Cindy Cruz\, Conference Co-Chairs\nAlma Sifuentes\, Dean of Students\, UCSC \n3:15-4:30pm Keynote: Laura Perez\, UC Berkeley \n4:30-6:15pm Panel 1: Un Travesía/A Crossing: Thinking Anzaldúa across the Disciplines \nKaren Barad\, UCSC\nGaye Theresa Johnson\, UCSB\nFelicity Amaya Schaeffer\, UCSC\nSonia Saldivar-Hull\, University of Texas San Antonio\nPedro DiPietro\, Syracuse University \nModerators: Jennifer Gonzales\, UCSC / Cat Ramirez\, UCSC \n+++++++++ \nSATURDAY \nLocation: Humanities Lecture Hall \n9:30-10:00am Coffee and Refreshments \n10:00-12:00pm Panel 2: La Facultad: Bridging Theory to Praxis in Anzaldúan Thought \nPat Zavella\, UCSC\nAida Hurtado\, UCSB\nSofia Villenas\, Cornell University\nAlejandra Elenes\, Arizona State University \nModerator: Marcia Ochoa\, Chair of Feminist Studies\, UCSC \n12:00-1:00pm Lunch \n1:00-2:45pm Panel 3: Roundtable – Santa Cruz Feminist of Color Collective \nSandra Alvarez\, Chapman University\nPascha Bueno Hansen\, University of Delaware\nSusy Zepeda\, UC Davis\nRoya Rastegar\, Los Angeles\, Filmmaker \nModerator: Cindy Cruz\, UCSC \n2:45-3:00pm Break \n3:00-4:30pm Keynote Conversation: Maria Lugones\, Binghamton University \nModerators: Rosa-Linda Fregoso\, UCSC / Bettina Apthekar\, UCSC \n  \n\n  \nDirections & Parking:\nPark near the Humanities Complex (Cowell/Stevenson parking lots 107\, 108\, 109\, and 110).

SUMMARY:Bodies of Knowledge in the Japanese Empire
DESCRIPTION:Gender studies\, history of science\, and Japanese studies intertwine in “Bodies of Knowledge in the Japanese Empire\,” a panel featuring Susan Burns (University of Chicago) and Mark Driscoll (University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill). Susan Burns examines gendered conceptions of mental and physical health that drove the development of “alternative” therapies to orthodox biomedicine. Mark Driscoll explores a critique of Euro-American sciences of the body raised in early twentieth-century Japanese sexology. The speakers reveal how re-conceptualization of human bodies as objects of modern scientific knowledge was inflected by the uneasy space of imperial Japan. \nAgenda: \n• Introduction by Noriko Aso\n• Susan Burns presentation\n• Mark Driscoll presentation\n• Comments by Stephanie Montgomery\n• General discussion followed by buffet lunch (1-2pm) \nSusan L. Burns is Associate Professor of Japanese History and East Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago. She is the author of Before the Nation: Kokugaku and the Imagining of Community in Early Modern Japan (Duke\, 2003) and the co-editor of Gender and Law in the Japanese Imperium (University of Hawaii Press\, 2013). She is currently completing two monograph projects: one examines the history of leprosy in Japan; the other\, the history of psychiatry in Japan. \nMark Driscoll is Associate Professor of Japanese and International Studies at University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill. He is the author of Absolute Erotic\, Absolute Grotesque: the Living\, Dead\, and Undead in Japan’s Imperialism\, 1895-1945 (Duke\, 2010) and Kannani and Document of Flames: 2 Japanese Colonial Novels (Duke\, 2005). \nSponsored by: UC President’s Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies and the Institute for Humanities Research. \n\n  \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Gender. Region. Slavery.
DESCRIPTION:Video from this event will be posted soon. Please click here for updated media.\n \nFor slavery studies\, engagements with the geopolitical have robustly shifted the angles through which the field might begin to imagine collusions\, collaborations and conversations with regions of the world. Historians\, in particular\, have contributed to our understanding of the forces at work in the making of ‘regions’ and ‘slavery’ between the fifteenth and the twentieth centuries. However\, such scholarship has minoritized gender relations in the making of such geographies. This colloquium reverses the trend by foregrounding the question: what would regional histories of ‘slavery’ look like if interrogated as formulations of gender? Eschewing the conventional segregation and/or minoritization of regions as spatialities that provide local historical flavor\, the colloquium seeks to simultaneously correct regional asymmetries of the past of slavery\, as well as highlight the centrality of gender in the making and conceiving of ‘region’ itself. Central to our concerns is an interrogation of race as understood primarily through the history of the transatlantic slave trade\, such that this idea of race could be said to constitute the background against which all representations of racial formation take place. Rather\, our presenters ask\, for example\, what would it mean to imagine an analytic of race that would take the transatlantic trade to the Indian Ocean and not produce African subjects in the same trajectory of slavery? What are the different life-forms and histories of slavery that exceed the hegemonic plantation model of slavery?\n9:30 AM: Introductory Remarks by Anjali Arondekar\, University of California\, Santa Cruz \n10:00 AM: Ronaldo V. Wilson\, University of California\, Santa Cruz\nSlave Slips | Life Forms: a poetry performance \n10:45 AM: Indrani Chatterjee\, University of Texas\, Austin\nDecolonizing the History of Slavery\nRespondent: Juned Shaikh\, University of California\, Santa Cruz \n12:00 PM: Lunch \n1:00 PM: Stephen Best\, University of California\, Berkeley\nUnfit for History\nRespondent: Vilashini Cooppan\, University of California\, Santa Cruz \n2:00 PM: Tea Break \n2:15 PM: Jenny Sharpe\, University of California\, Los Angeles\nThe Degraded Image of Slavery\nRespondent: Gina Dent\, University of California\, Santa Cruz\nSponsored by the Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies\, with generous contributions from the Departments of Literature\, History\, Sociology\, Anthropology and the Institute for Humanities Research. \nFor further information\, please contact Anjali Arondekar: aarondek@ucsc.edu

SUMMARY:Free Angela Davis and All Political Prisoners Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Free Angela! is a brilliant documentary that captures the sensational murder and kidnapping trial of Black Communist and UCLA Professor Angela Davis in the early 1970s. It provides extraordinary archival footage\, interviews with Davis\, all four of her trial lawyers and the activists who co-led a massive international movement for her freedom. Davis was deeply involved in a movement to help save the lives of three Black prisoners known as the Soledad Brothers\, and was also active in the Black Panther Party and the anti- Vietnam war movement. Davis was indicted as a co-conspirator by a Marin County Grand Jury and when “unavailable” was placed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list.This was the result of an attempt by prisoners from San Quentin to escape during a court case in Marin County on August 7th\, 1970. The judge\, two of the prisoners\, and their young would-be liberator were killed by San Quentin prison guards; the prosecuting attorney and the other escaping prisoner were critically wounded. Condemned in sensational media coverage\, then President Richard Nixon and then California Governor Ronald Reagan denounced Davis as a “dangerous terrorist.” Davis was in fact the target of government revenge as a symbol of the radical fervor of those times. The film tells a complicated story in a comprehensible\, powerful way that continues to reverberate in our own time. \nQ & A following the film with Howard Moore\, lead counsel for Angela Davis\, and Bettina Aptheker\, Professor of Feminist Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \nShowing sponsored by the UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race & Ethnic Studies and by the Feminist Studies Department at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Undisciplining Feminism: Formations in Critical Race and Ethnic Studies
DESCRIPTION:Bringing together a core group of UC and Cal State faculty working at the intersections of feminist studies and ethnic studies\, we will generate a curricular vision that\, rather than being negatively constructed as a critique (of patriarchy\, mainstream feminism\, “wave”-based periodizations\, etc.) begins with concepts like race\, empire\, and settler colonialism. Conversely\, we imagine ethnic studies as foundationally organized around gender and sexuality\, centered on concepts such as reproduction and sexual violence. While critiques of Women and Gender Studies and Ethnic Studies as disciplinary formations have long existed\, we hope that by generating shared curricular materials\, we can further engage the intellectual repercussions of (inter)disciplinarity and strategize ways to make institutional interventions. We aim to collectively generate the kind of work called for by such critiques\, and to share strategies for the careful institutionalization of such work. \nThis event is intended to support current efforts to establish a Critical Race and Ethnic Studies (CRES) program at UC Santa Cruz\, in addition to enabling a conversation amongst group participants. While student efforts at establishing ethnic studies as a major have a long history at UCSC\, it was not until the disestablishment of American Studies\, which led to massive student protests against the lack of institutional support for the study of race and ethnicity in 2011-12\, that these efforts received administrative attention. In 2012-13\, a working group consisting of faculty\, undergraduates\, and graduate students has met regularly around a series of talks and workshops aimed at developing a CRES major. The major was approved in Spring 2012\, with courses scheduled to begin 2012-13. The public portion of our event\, sponsored by Bettina Aptheker and Karen Tei Yamashita’s Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies\, is intended to be in conversation with and to raise the profile of CRES\, as well as the launch of the Feminist Studies graduate program. \nSome questions that we hope to address through this event: \nWhere\, why and to what effect does the complicity of feminisms with the security state\, the carceral turn\, settler colonial states\, and so forth take place?\nWhat are some alternative genealogies of feminism (perhaps not recognizable or identified as such) that we might consider as generative for thinking about difference? Why might they not be as legible as points of departure for feminism? What are the political possibilities and perils of visibility and legibility?\nHow might existing scholarship already be producing alternative genealogies for a practice and politics of feminism?\nTo learn more about the conference\, and to access the agenda and abstracts\, please visit: http://ihr.ucsc.edu/undisciplining-feminism/. \nThis event is free and open to the public.\n \n
