SUMMARY:Death and Dying in Diaspora: Book Talk with Allan Isaac (Rutgers University)
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 8\, 2022\n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM (Pacific Time)\n10383 Bunche Hall \nIn his new book Filipino Time: Affective Worlds and Contracted Labor\, Allan Isaac examines how contracted service labor performed by Filipinos in the Philippines\, Europe\, the Middle East\, and the United States generates vital affects\, multiple networks\, and other life-worlds as much as it disrupts and dislocates human relations.Affective labor and time are re-articulated in a capacious archive of storytelling about the Filipino labor diaspora in fiction\, musical performance\, ethnography\, and documentary film. Exploring these cultural practices\, Filipino Time traces other ways of sensing\, making sense of\, and feeling time with others\, by weaving narratives of place and belonging out of the hostile but habitable textures of labor-time. \nSignaling his current research project in this talk\, Isaac explores live-streamed funeral vigils\, a technological practice made necessary by Filipino diasporic life\, to highlight two Tagalog concept-words that map other ways to generate ecologies of communality: pakiramdam (literally\, to make oneself felt\, or to feel a presence)\, affective engagement without immediate proximity; andkapiling\, to be in someone’s proximity or vicinity without interaction between two parties. Migrant subjects harness time and the imagination in their creative\, life-making capacities to make communal worlds out of one steeped in the temporalities and logics of capital. \nAllan Punzalan Isaac is Professor of American Studies and English and Associate Humanities Dean at Rutgers University-New Brunswick\, NJ. He specializes in Asian American and comparative race studies and examines issues around migration\, postcoloniality\, gender and sexuality\, and the Philippines and its diaspora. His first book American Tropics: Articulating Filipino America was the recipient of the Association for Asian American Studies Cultural Studies Book Award. His second book is entitled\, Filipino Time: Affective Worlds and Contracted Labor. He has taught at DeLaSalle University-Taft in Manila\, Philippines as a Senior Fulbright Scholar.  His current research focuses on death and dying in the Filipino diaspora. \nSponsored by UCLA Center for Southeast Asian Studies and Department of Asian American Studies. With support from the Asian American Studies Center\, Office of Instructional Services\, Center for the Study of Women/Barbara Streisand Center\, UCLA Labor Center\, and Labor Studies Program. \nRSVP HERE\nFollowing the talk\, Professor Isaac will conduct a short workshop with graduate students. Students can sign up for the graduate workshop here and upload a 2-3 page project abstract. \n

SUMMARY:Book Talk with Cynthia Cranford\, Home Care Fault Lines: Understanding Tensions and Creating Alliances
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Book Talk with Dr. Cranford\, Professor of Sociology\, University of Toronto and author of Home Care Fault Lines: Understanding Tensions and Creating Alliances (Cornell University Press\, 2020) on April 21nd\, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. \nHome care is a window into the complexity of inequality. Drawing from Home Care Fault Lines: Understanding Tensions and Creating Alliances (Cornell University Press\, 2020)\, this talk examines the tensions and possibilities for alliances that are essential for understanding\, and challenging\, inequalities in homecare. How can we arrange home care to minimize tensions and maximize alliances? The book addresses this question by comparing how four government-funded programs differ in the way they arrange home care. Focusing on the most personal in-home support\, that is paid help with daily activities like bathing and eating\, the book’s analysis rests on over 300 interviews that reveal how a variety of players shape the conditions of home care service and work in unique contexts. This talk will compare two of the cases illuminating the limits and possibilities of coalitions for flexibility with security. \nDr. Cranford studies inequalities of gender\, labour and migration\, and collective efforts to resist them. Her most recent research project is a\ncomparative study of home care showcased in Home Care Fault Lines: Understanding Tensions and Creating Alliances\, published in 2020 by\nCornell University’s ILR Press and co-winner of the Distinguished Scholarly Book Award from the American Sociological Association Labor and Labor Movements Section. Dr. Cranford is also the co-author of Self-employed Workers Organize: Law\, Policy and Unions published by McGill-Queens University Press (2005) and her work has been published in several journals including Critical Sociology\, Gender & Society\, Gender\, Work and Organisation\, Just Labour\, Social Problems\, Work\, Employment and Society\, and in several edited volumes. \nThis event will be held in person at Haines Hall A25\, 375 Portola Plaza\, Los Angeles\, CA and broadcasted live via Zoom. \nTo join us for the Zoom broadcast of the event\, please register HERE.

SUMMARY:In Conversation with Henry Reichman: Academic Capitalism and the Future of Academic Freedom
DESCRIPTION:IRLE Colloquia Series presents:\n\nIn conversation with Henry Reichman: Academic Capitalism and the Future of Academic Freedom.\n\n\n\n\nIn the wake of the 2016 election\, challenges to academic freedom have intensified\, higher education has become a target of attacks by conservatives\, and issues of free speech on campus have grown increasingly controversial. In his recently published book\, The Future of Academic Freedom\, Henry Reichman explores the theory\, history\, and contemporary practice of academic freedom. He pays attention to such varied concerns as the meddling of politicians and corporate trustees in curriculum and university governance\, the role of online education\, the impact of social media\, the rights of student protesters and outside speakers\, the relationship between collective bargaining and academic freedom\, and the influence on research and teaching of ideologically motivated donors. In this talk Reichman will summarize some of his major conclusions\, focusing in particular on the threat to academic freedom posed by what some have labeled “academic capitalism.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHenry Reichman is Professor Emeritus of History at California State University\, East Bay; Chair of the American Association of University Professors Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure; and Chair of the AAUP Foundation.  His book\, The Future of Academic Freedom\, was published in April by the Johns Hopkins University Press.  He earned the Ph.D in History at UC Berkeley. \n\n\n\n\n\nFacebook: http://bit.ly/AcademicCapitalism \n\n\n\n\nThe 2019-2020 Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE) colloquia series aims to convene faculty\, students\, and special guests to discuss multidisciplinary research and policy issues impacting workers and their families today. \n\nThe Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE) houses the Labor Studies academic program and three units – UCLA Labor Center\, Human Resources Roundtable\, and the Labor Occupational Safety and Health program. IRLE forms wide-ranging research agendas that carry UCLA into the Los Angeles community and beyond.
