SUMMARY:Launch and Presentation of the Critical Sustainabilities Website
DESCRIPTION:From activism to ecology\, alternative culture to industry\, “sustainability\,” it seems\, is everywhere. In the face of economic and environmental crisis\, and unprecedented rates of urbanization\, the term has become ubiquitous in policy circles and across many social domains. Yet this ubiquity presents us with competing and often contradictory meanings and applications\, and can lead to conflicts over fundamental questions such as “sustainability of what and for whom?” This in turn poses challenges for sustainability scholarship\, planning\, policy\, and practice. \nCritical Sustainabilities is a new website that aims to address these issues. It focus on iconic sustainability efforts in Northern California — many of which have popularized the concept nationally and globally — while exploring the multiple\, often contested ways these efforts have made use of the term. It offers tools in the forms of “keywords” and “sites” to help grasp the histories and locations through which ideas about sustainability have been produced and become powerful. And it presents “projects” that explore these ideas through a creative and critical lens. \nPlease join us as we launch Critical Sustainabilities\, and share a few contributions from the site: \n* Miriam Greenberg (UCSC): “Sustainabilities”\n* Simon Sadler (UC Davis): “Keyword: Ecological Design” and “Site: Bateson Building”\n* Elsa Ramos (UCSC) “Keyword: Transit Oriented Development” and “Site: 16th and Mission BART Plaza”\n* Tracy Perkins (UCSC): “Site: Gonzales” and “Project: Voices from the Valley”\n* Kristin Miller (UCSC): “Keyword: Google Bus” and “Projects: Postcards from the Future”\n* Rachel Brahinsky (University of San Francisco): “Teaching Critical Sustainabilities”

SUMMARY:Sanchita Saxena: "Made in Bangladesh\, Cambodia\, and Sri Lanka: The Labor Behind the Global Garments and Textiles Industries"
DESCRIPTION:Join Sanchita Saxena as she discusses her new book\, Made in Bangladesh\, Cambodia\, and Sri Lanka: The Labor Behind the Global Garments and Textiles Industries\, which earned rave reviews from leading experts. It is essential reading for students and researchers in policy studies\, labor studies\, South and Southeast Asian studies\, international trade\, and political science\, as well as those engaged in program design and evaluation of projects focused on labor rights. This study is critical for non-governmental organizations with a thematic focus on the garments and textiles industry\, labor rights\, human rights\, and international trade policy\, as well as for private sector organizations focused on improving labor conditions around the world. \nPrior to joining the Institute for South Asia Studies (ISAS) at UC Berkeley\, Sanchita Banerjee Saxena was the assistant director of Economic Programs at the Asia Foundation\, where she coauthored The Phase-Out of the Multi-Fiber Arrangement: Policy Options and Opportunities for Asia\, served as a consultant to the Asia Foundation on various economic projects\, and was a Public Policy Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington D.C. Saxena holds a PhD in political science from UCLA. \nCo-Sponsored by the Anthropology and Economics Departments along with the Center for Labor Studies and the Interdisciplinary Development Working Group
