SUMMARY:From Concept to Project: A Digital Mapping Workshop for Graduate Students with Yoh Kawano
DESCRIPTION:Are you developing a digital map but feel unsure about your next steps? Or\, having trouble reconciling the complexity of spatial theory with the nuts-and-bolts of GIS? \nGraduate students interested in mapping and integrating spatial thinking into their research should consider joining this workshop with Yoh Kawano. Kawano is the GIS Specialist at UCLA and a lecturer in Urban Planning and Public Policy. With a 14 year career in GIS\, Kawano has contributed to projects for urban planning\, emergency preparedness\, disaster relief\, volunteerism\, archaeology\, and the digital humanities. He is a co-author of Hypercities: Thick mapping in the digital humanities. \nOur objective is to work through some of the challenges that arise when trying to bring complex topics to life as digital projects. During the workshop\, Yoh Kawano will work with grad students to help identify and troubleshoot some of the hurdles that arise when planning and executing a map-based projecur objective is to work through some of the challenges that arise when trying to bring complex topics to life as digital projects. \n*If you are interested in participating\, send a 300-word description of the project you are currently developing to Rachel Deblinger. In this description\, please indicate what stage the project is currently in\, and a question or challenge related to your project that you would like to discuss in the workshop. If available\, please include information about the project platform\, data\, or a project URL. \nYoh Kawano \nYoh Kawano came to Los Angeles and UCLA in 1995 after living across the globe\, in 5 different countries. At UCLA he works at the GIS and Visualization Sandbox as a member of the Research Technology Group for the Institute for Digital Research and Education (IDRE)\, serving as the Campus GIS Coordinator. He has supervised projects in urban planning\, emergency preparedness\, disaster relief\, volunteerism\, archaeology\, and the digital humanities. Current research and projects involve the geo-spatial web\, visualization of temporal and spatial data\, and creating systems that leverage social media and web services in conjunction with traditional information systems. In the fall of 2015\, Yoh enrolled in the PhD program at UCLA’s Department of Urban Planning\, where he is pursuing his research on how nuclear power plants transform communities. Yoh has co-authored “Hypercities: Thick Mapping in the Digital Humanities”\, published in 2014 via Harvard Press. Yoh has an MA in Urban Planning from UCLA and a BA in Sociology from the International Christian University (ICU) in Tokyo.

SUMMARY:Critical Leisure Studies Winter Seminar: Introduction & The Right to be Lazy
DESCRIPTION:In our introductory Winter Seminar\, we hope to foster intellectual dialogue amongst a community of scholars interested in exploring the theoretical implications and transformative possibilities in thinking the category of “leisure” historically and in the contemporary moment. \nThe first half of the meeting\, will be an open discussion about the interdisciplinary possibilities of “leisure” as a category of social critique and its intersections with our work. In the second half of the meeting\, we intend to engage in a discussion of Paul Lafargue’s short piece The Right to be Lazy as a productive departure point for some of the directions listed above. \nSome questions we hope to explore might include: \n\nWhat differentiates labor and leisure and how have theses categories been historically constructed through racialized\, gendered\, heteropatriarchal\, class\, and/or colonial hierarchies?\nWhat social and economic practices figure an activity as work\, play\, nonwork\, or leisure?\nHow does the formal category of “leisure” itself act to discipline desires?\nIn what ways does the production and appropriation of excess enable cultural and political forms of participation and belonging?\n\n  \nEvent Photos: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:Joseph M. Pierce: "Writing Queer Sisterhood: The Diaries of Julia and Delfina Bunge and the Argentine Fin de Siglo (1890-1910)"
DESCRIPTION:This presentation focuses on a unique coincidence in Argentine fin de siglo (1890-1910): sisters who 1) simultaneously kept a diary for an extended period of time\, 2) actually shared\, read\, and commented on reading each other’s diaries\, and 3) though under quite different circumstances\, published these diaries subsequently. I read the diary as an interface through which textual form influences understandings of self and other in the early years of the 20th century\, arguing that it is\, in this sense\, a technology of self-making. This talk explores not simply what the diarist does\, but what discourses\, what possible modes of feeling and thinking are revealed through the process of writing and reading the diary. In particular the sister serves as critical nucleus for understanding relational subjectivity\, sibling rivalry\, and the queer potentials of lateral kinship. Examining both original manuscript notebooks and later published versions\, I show how writing and reading the diary plays a crucial role in shaping each sister’s ideological positions regarding courtship\, marriage\, and sisterhood\, and from this exploration I argue that the cultural anxiety over the division of public and private space\, and in particular women’s labor\, led each sister to stake a claim of individuality that emerges through the process of imagining herself as different\, but potentially the same as\, her sister.\n  \nJoseph M. Pierce is Assistant Professor in the Department of Hispanic Languages and Literature at Stony Brook University. His research focuses on discourses of kinship\, gender\, and sexuality in Latin America and on the intersection of Latin American and North American approaches to citizenship and belonging. He is currently drafting a book manuscript entitled Queer Kinship in the Argentine fin de siglo: La familia Bunge\, and is co-editor with Fernando Blanco and Mario Pecheny of Derechos Sexuales en el Sur: Políticas del amor y escrituras disidentes (Forthcoming\, Cuarto Propio).\n  \nLight refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Melissa Gregg: "8 Hours for What We Will"
DESCRIPTION:Discussion on time management in the workplace and the role of technology in facilitating dominant ideas of productivity. \nRSVP required. Please email Caroline Kao cakao@ucsc.edu. \nIn preparation\, please read 2 chapters of any time management self help book and make a note of those things that are classified as leisure activities by the author. \nSome of Melissa Gregg’s favorite books are:\nLeave the Office Earlier: The Productivity Pro Shows You How to Do More in Less Time…and Feel Great About It\nGetting Things Done: The ABCs of Time Management \nMelissa Gregg Bio: \nI am a Principal Engineer at Intel Corporation researching the future of work. My role is to translate strategic insights on the nature of enterprise and employment to business outcomes and opportunities. \nMy recent research tracks the rise of the personal enterprise – a world in which individuals take responsibility for their life’s work with the assistance of freely available technical infrastructure. ‘Ad hoc professionals’ negotiate a changing landscape of work suppliers to sell their services and make a living outside of traditional employment relationships. This type of career poses a challenge to tech business models that differentiate between enterprise and consumer sales. There is a third category emerging between the two thanks to consumer-led enterprise innovation. My aim is to help workers empower themselves and flourish in this context. \nAs an Australian-born researcher\, I have an international profile in gender and cultural studies\, work and organization studies and affect theory. My forthcoming book\, Counterproductive\, is a history of time management self-help in the workplace. It shows how productivity tools came to prominence as employment shifts contributed to a decline in collective opportunities for structured time and ritual. This adds historical depth to my earlier analyses of contemporary work life which include Work’s Intimacy (Polity 2011)\, The Affect Theory Reader (co-edited with Gregory J. Seigworth\, Duke 2010)\, and Cultural Studies’ Affective Voices(Palgrave 2006). \nBefore joining Intel\, I was on faculty in the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney (2009-13) following a series of research fellowships at the Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies\, University of Queensland (2004-8). \nhttp://www.homecookedtheory.com/about-me/
