SUMMARY:Jean Beaman - Suspect Citizenship
DESCRIPTION:Incidents of state violence and activism against that violence illustrate the continuing significance of race and the persistence of white supremacy in France\, the United States\, and worldwide. Based on past and current ethnographic research and interviews with ethnic minorities in the Parisian metropolitan region\, this talk argues that\, despite France’s colorblind and Republican ethos\, France’s “visible minorities” function under a “suspect citizenship” in which their full societal belonging is never granted. Beaman focuses on the growing problem of state-sponsored violence against ethnic minorities which reveals how France is creating a “bright boundary” (Alba 2005) between whites and non-whites\, furthering disparate outcomes based on race and ethnic origin. By considering the multifaceted dimensions of citizenship and belonging in France\, Beaman demonstrates the limitations of full societal inclusion for France’s non-white denizens and how French Republicanism continues to mark\, rather than erase\, racial and ethnic distinctions. \n \nJean Beaman is Associate Professor of Sociology\, with affiliations with Black Studies\, Political Science\, Feminist Studies\, Global Studies\, and the Center for Black Studies Research\, at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. Previously\, she was faculty at Purdue University and held visiting fellowships at Duke University and the European University Institute (Florence\, Italy). Her research is ethnographic in nature and focuses on race/ethnicity\, racism\, international migration\, and state violence in both France and the United States. She is author of Citizen Outsider: Children of North African Immigrants in France (University of California Press\, 2017)\, as well as numerous articles and book chapters. Her current book project is on suspect citizenship and belonging\, anti-racist mobilization\, and activism against police violence in France. She received her Ph.D. in Sociology from Northwestern University. She is also an Associate Editor of the journal\, Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power and a Corresponding Editor for the journal Metropolitics/Metropolitiques. She is the Co-PI for the Mellon Foundation Sawyer Seminar grant\, “Race\, Precarity\, and Privilege: Migration in a Global Context” for 2020-2022. \nJean Beaman’s presentation will be presented remotely\, please register here to receive the Zoom link on Wednesday\, January 12. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. We gather at 12:00 PM\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. \nFor Winter 2022\, the colloquium will take a hybrid format\, in which some events are fully remote and others have the option of in-person attendance. Attendees have the option to attend in person in Humanities 210 or to watch the presentation on zoom. Those who attend in person must adhere to the campus mask mandate for all indoor activities and must complete UCSC’s symptom-check form before coming to campus. In person attendees are asked to please arrive at 12pm so that the event coordinators can verify the symptom check has been completed. To attend remotely via zoom\, please RSVP in advance\, and you will receive a zoom link on the morning of the colloquium. In most cases\, speakers will appear remotely so that they will not have to present wearing a mask. To RSVP for the full Winter colloquium series\, please use this form. If you have any questions about the colloquium\, please contact Piper Milton (cult@ucsc.edu). \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

This winter’s living writers all have stories of radical transformation to tell. TC Tolbert searches for a language to enact his transition from being Melissa to being TC; Jane Wong struggles to reconcile her American present with the transnational ghosts of her past; Yuri Herrera’s heroine embarks on a journey across the Mexican American border; Karen Tei Yamashita tells tales of ever changing demographics & invisible histories; Eric Wat’s protagonist remakes himself as he navigates drug abuse\, sexuality\, death and family dynamics; the speaker in Sandra Lim’s book of poems transforms not her life but the way she sees her life. All six writers remind us of the power of literature to transform us. They remind us that when we open a book\, often what we’re really saying is: change me. \nSee the full list of Living Writers Series events on the Creative Writing Program page.
