Federal law requires that basic labor standards apply to all workers\, yet this principle clashes with increasingly restrictive immigration laws and creates a confusing bureaucratic terrain for local policymakers and labor advocates. Gleeson examines this issue in two of the largest immigrant gateways in the country: San Jose\, California\, and Houston\, Texas.

Indigenous feminist and Two Spirit critiques explain that heteropatriarchy and white supremacy produce settler colonization and settler state governance. \nAs explained by participants\, the leadership of Idle No More by Indigenous women as founders and spokespersons exposes heteropatriarchy in Indigenous communities for change by challenging racial and sexual legacies of Canadian colonization. These legacies include the Indian Act\, which preferentially exiled over four generations of Indigenous women and their descendants from their nations and lands; and in the everyday landscapes of gender and sexual violence faced by Indigenous women and Two-Spirit people. \nMorgensen interprets these effects of Idle No More by writing as an allied critic in Canada who answers calls to support Indigenous leadership in transforming colonial rule. Feminist\, queer\, and trans critiques of racialization\, sexualization\, and colonization can resonate with Idle No More as it pursues indigenist and decolonial transformation on behalf of all Indigenous people in Canada. \nScott Lauria Morgensen is an ethnographer and historian of social movements. He is Associate Professor in Gender Studies and the Graduate Program in Cultural Studies at Queen’s University in Kingston\, Ontario\, Canada. His work examines how politicalcommunities struggle over differences\, challenge or reproduce oppressions\, and confront solidarity and alliance. His past and present research examines how racism and settler colonialism shape queer / trans communities in North America. An interdisciplinary scholar trained in Feminist Studies (PhD 2001 Anthropology [Women’s Studies]\, University of California\, Santa Cruz)\, Morgensen engages the theories and methods of Indigenous\, women of color\, and transnational feminisms in his work. His first book\, Spaces between Us: Queer Settler Colonialism and Indigenous Decolonization\, was published by the University of Minnesota Press in 2011\, and won the 2012 Ruth Benedict Book Prize “Honorable Mention” from the Association for Queer Anthropology. He is co-editor of the collection Queer Indigenous Studies\, and of “Karangatia: Calling Out Gender and Sexuality in Settler Societies\,” a special issue of Settler Colonial Studies. He is co-editor of Journal of Critical Race Inquiry and a proud UCSC Feminist Studies alum. \nAdditional Reading: Dr. Morgensen will present work in dialogue with a recent blog on jadaliyya.com:\nhttp://www.jadaliyya.com/pages/index/11016/settler-colonialism-and-alliance_comparative-chall URL:https://thi.ucsc.edu/event/scott-lauria-morgensen-idle-no-more-indigenous-feminism-allied-critiques-of-settler-colonialism-2/ LOCATION:Stevenson Fireside Lounge\, Humanites 1 University of California\, Santa Cruz Cowell College\, Santa Cruz\, CA\, 95064\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130502 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130505 DTSTAMP:20260416T044602 CREATED:20130109T214450Z LAST-MODIFIED:20130109T214450Z UID:10004763-1367452800-1367711999@thi.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:Sea Changes: Mediterranean and Maritime Perspectives on History and Culture DESCRIPTION:The Mediterranean Seminar/UCMRP in Mediterranean Studies present:\nAn International Symposium/Workshop to be held at UC Santa Cruz\, 2-4 May\, 2013 \nA maritime perspective provides scholars with a fresh approach to the study of society and culture\, including the development of art\, literature\, and institutions. In the mid-twentieth century\, Fernand Braudel first reformulated the history of Early Modern Europe and the Islamic world by taking the sea between them not as a barrier but as an analytical starting point. Taking geography as its point of departure\, this history focused not on the supposedly inherent qualities that separated them\, but on the connections that bound the people of the coasts and their continental hinterlands to various trans-Mediterranean others. Emphasizing the importance of movement\, trade\, and communication\, it invited the interrogation of categories that had come to seem self-evident (especially the nation)\, challenged the foundations of dominant historical metanarratives\, and called new attention to the significance of peoples and places long regarded as mere intermediaries. \nThis gathering invites scholars of the humanities and social science engaged in the study of maritime environments–in particular\, the application of Oceanic models (pertaining to the Mediterranean\, the Atlantic\, Pacific\, or Indian Oceans\, etc.) to the study of the history of human society and culture. Rather than pure research presentations or case studies\, Papers (20 minutes) should engage explicitly and directly with the Mediterranean and/or Oceanic Studies as methodological frames or emerging disciplines. Themes include: \n– “In the sea” or “of the sea? The practica of maritime methodologies; geographical determinism and/or human adaptations;\n– Revelations and Revisions: What the sea brings to scholarship.\n– The historiography and reception of the sea in scholarship \nThis conference will be held in conjunction with the Mediterranean Studies UCMRP Spring workshop. \nSymposium and Workshop Program (PDF) URL:https://thi.ucsc.edu/event/sea-changes-mediterranean-and-maritime-perspectives-on-history-and-culture-2/ LOCATION:Stevenson Fireside Lounge\, Humanites 1 University of California\, Santa Cruz Cowell College\, Santa Cruz\, CA\, 95064\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20130502T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20130502T194500 DTSTAMP:20260416T044602 CREATED:20121220T233159Z LAST-MODIFIED:20121220T233159Z UID:10005284-1367517600-1367523900@thi.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:The Living Writers Reading Series: Karen Joy Fowler DESCRIPTION:Karen Joy Fowler\, author of six novels and three short story collections.
