This crucial life source has come under increased threat due to the claimed necessity of extractivist development projects which impact the lives of all of our relations: human and more-than-human. In North America\, energy extraction has accelerated processes of accumulation by dispossession\, in a context of “light touch” regulation in which threats to water are scantily monitored\, under-regulated\, and under-reported\, creating new and significant breaches of Indigenous rights. \nTuesday\, January 24th from 11:40-1:15 in the Rachel Carson College room 301. \nOur collective is beginning a large\, seven year research project (decolonizingwater.ca) through which we are creating Indigenous-led water monitoring systems embedded in Indigenous water laws\, as an expression of Indigenous self-governance. This raises a series of questions about the desirability and possibility of decolonizing water science; resurgent Indigenous self-governance in Canada’s north; the challenges posed to the nation-state by legal pluralism and parallel governance structures. More broadly\, our initiative unfolds within the set of possibilities opened up by big data and eco-informatics in the Anthropocene\, in which “Wiring Gaia” creates new openings for science\, democratic decision-making\, and Indigenous self-determination in Canada’s North. How might an “Internet of Earthlings” be co-constituted\, and what possibilities (and pitfalls) might it create for all of our relations? \nBio: Dr. Karen Bakker is Professor\, Canada Research Chair\, and Director of the Program on Water Governance at the University of British Columbia (www.watergovernance.ca). She is currently the midwife (aka Principal Investigator) to a research collective of Indigenous community members\, academics\, artists\, activists who are striving to decolonize water in both theory and practice (www.decolonizingwater.ca). A Rhodes Scholar with a PhD from Oxford\, Karen is trained in both the natural and social sciences. She currently works at the intersection of political economy and political ecology\, and publishes on a wide range of environmental issues (water\, hydropower\, food\, energy). \nCo-sponsored by the IHR Research Cluster on Race\, Violence\, Inequality and the Anthropocene and the Science and Justice Research Center.

Many deportees have close ties to the United States: in 2011\, 100\,000 deportees had U.S. citizen children. The vast majority of deportees are men of color. How do we explain this devastating policy shift? I argue that neoliberalism and\, by extension\, global capitalism\, make the mass deportation of men of color possible in the current context. Mass deportation is a U.S. policy response designed to relocate surplus labor to the periphery and to keep labor in the United States compliant. The U.S. public accepts this policy response because it targets men of color – people perceived to be expendable in the current economy. \nTanya Golash-Boza is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of California\, Merced. She is the author of three books: 1) Due Process Denied (2012)\, which describes how and why non-citizens in the United States have been detained and deported for minor crimes\, without regard for constitutional limits on disproportionate punishment; 2) Immigration Nation (2012)\, which provides a critical analysis of the impact that U.S. immigration policy has on human rights; and 3) Yo Soy Negro: Blackness in Peru (2011)\, the first book in English to address what it means to be black in Peru. She has also published many articles in peer-reviewed journals on deportations\, racial identity\, human rights\, U.S. Latinos/as and Latin America\, in addition to essays and chapters in edited volumes and online venues. Her innovative scholarship was awarded the Distinguished Early Career Award from the Racial and Ethnic Minorities Studies Section of the American Sociological Association in 2010. \nEvent presented by the UCSC Sociology Colloquium Series and the Center for Labor Studies.
