SUMMARY:Rocio Rosales: "Stagnant Immigrant Social Networks and Cycles of Exploitation"
DESCRIPTION:Based on over four years of ethnographic research among street vendors in Los Angeles and on interviews with family members of vendors and former vendors living in Mexico\, Rocio Rosales examines the influence of a sending community and its social networks on migrant outcomes in the US. These social networks affect migration patterns\, ease entry into the fruit vending business but also facilitate exploitation. Furthermore\, these social networks do not always function as effective conduits of information because its members\, due to feelings of shame or embarrassment\, often fail to add to the existing body of knowledge. As a result\, international migration patterns\, job placement\, and exploitative practices do not change or improve for subsequent migrants. This creates a cycle in which social networks become stagnant and successively fail to function as effective conduits of information and resources in ways that might help network members equally and in the aggregate. \nRocio Rosales is a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at the University of California\, San Diego. She completed her Ph.D. in Sociology at UCLA in 2012 and received her A.B. in Sociology (cum laude) with a certificate in Latin American Studies from Princeton University. Her dissertation\, “Hidden Economies in Public Spaces: The Fruit Vendors of Los Angeles\,” examines the social and economic lives of a group of undocumented Latino street vendors. Her research interests include international migration\, informal work\, immigrant and ethnic economies\, Latinos/as in the US\, qualitative methods and urban ethnography. Her work has been funded by the American Philosophical Society (2011)\, John Randolph and Dora Haynes Foundation (2010)\, Ford Foundation (2005-2008)\, and the SSRC Mellon Mays Foundation (2003-2012). Her research appears in the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies and in Ethnic and Racial Studies (forthcoming). \nLecture presented by the UCSC Sociology Colloquium Series and the UCSC Center for Labor Studies. \nFor more info\, go to: http://socyeventsucsc.wordpress.com/.\nFor info about access to College 8\, contact: Barbara Laurence\, balauren@ucsc.edu.\n

SUMMARY:Graduate Seminar with Visiting Artist Carrie Mae Weems

Smihi will also be a participant at the symposium. http://bampfa.berkeley.edu/filmseries/smihi \nThe Unfixed Itineraries symposium will encourage innovative perspectives on Arab film and visual culture\, emphasizing their multifaceted and plural nature. Rather than homogenize “the Arab world\,” for example\, we stress the multiple worlds that have been made by diverse histories. Instead of taking for granted the meaning of the word “Arab\,” our event continually questions fixed narratives that produce rigid identities. And by refusing the common tendency to reduce Arab art to the realm of the political or the religious\, we also affirm the inspiring\, arresting pleasures of the aesthetic\, the sensory\, the intellectual\, and the social aspects of film and media from the region. \nParticipants will focus on the production and circulation of Arab visual cultures across multiple temporal and spatial boundaries: from the historical to the recent\, at “home” and in diaspora. The symposium includes opportunities for seeing film and media and for engaging in scholarly\, critical debates with cultural producers (rather than just “about” them). \nArtists and scholars will visit from Lebanon\, Morocco\, Egypt\, Syria\, Canada\, Europe\, and the US and the work presented will cover a wide area of forms\, styles\, and thematic concerns. \nSymposium screenings\, panels\, and presentations will address topics such as: Movement and Extra-territoriality; Itineraries of Intertextuality; Past\, Present\, and Future Itineraries; Narrative and non-Narrative Itineraries; Archives\, Images\, Memory. \n[/vc_column_text] [/vc_column]

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:The Stanford School of Philosophy of Science
