SUMMARY:Labor Speaker Series | "Refusing Death: Immigrant Women and the Fight for Environmental Justice in LA" Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Refusing Death: Immigrant Women and the Fight for Environmental Justice in LA with Nadia Y. Kim \nDate: Wednesday\, March 1st \nTime: 3:30 PM – 5 PM PT \nLocation: 10383 Bunche Hall (in-person) and on Zoom \n“Refusing Death” examines race\, class\, gender and citizenship with respect to the growing social phenomenon of marginalized and unauthorized immigrants – especially women and youth – making political inroads by way of grassroots activism\, at times\, sidestepping the need for formal political channels. By way of nearly four years of ethnographic observation\, in-depth interviews\, and documents analysis of Asian American and Latin@ environmental justice activism in the industrial-port belt of Los Angeles\, she finds that these mostly female immigrant activists view their work as much more than an effort to spare their children’s lungs from the gray plumes of cargo ships and oil refineries; they are also redefining notions of politics\, community\, and citizenship in the face of America’s nativist racism and its system of class injustice\, defined by disproportionate pollution and neglected schools\, surveillance/deportation\, and political marginalization. \nBy inventively dovetailing all of these dimensions\, the women show that they are highly conscious of how environmental and educational harms are an assault on their bodies and emotions; hence\, they center embodied and affective strategies to uniquely challenge the neoliberal state’s neglect and betrayal and\, ultimately\, to refuse death. \nRegister for Zoom webinar: https://bit.ly/Kim-Webinar \nRSVP for reception: https://bit.ly/4033mp6

SUMMARY:Labor Speaker Series | “Roots of Resistance: A Story of Gender\, Race\, and Labor on the North Coast of Honduras” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Topic: “Roots of Resistance: A Story of Gender\, Race\, and Labor on the North Coast of Honduras” Book Talk\nDate: Thursday\, November 10\nTime: 1:00pm – 2:30pm PT\nLocation: UCLA Young Research Library\, Presentation Room\, Room 11348\n\nJoin us for a Book Talk with Suyapa G. Portillo Villeda\, author of Roots of Resistance: A Story of Gender\, Race\, and Labor on the North Coast of Honduras.\n\nOn May 1\, 1954\, striking banana workers on the North Coast of Honduras brought the regional economy to a standstill\, invigorating the Honduran labor movement and placing a series of demands on the US-controlled banana industry. Their actions ultimately galvanized a broader working-class struggle and reawakened long-suppressed leftist ideals. The first account of its kind in English\, Roots of Resistance explores contemporary Honduran labor history through the story of the great banana strike of 1954 and centers the role of women in the narrative of the labor movement.\n\nDrawing on extensive firsthand oral history and archival research\, Suyapa G. Portillo Villeda highlights the complexities of transnational company hierarchies\, gender and race relations\, and labor organizing that led to the banana workers strike and how these dynamics continue to reverberate in Honduras today.\n\nGuest Speaker: Suyapa G. Portillo Villeda\, Associate Professor of Chicana/o Latina/o Transnational Studies\, Pitzer College\n\nLoading…

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:Labor Speaker Series | “Is Formalization the Answer? Is Informality the Problem?” Waste Picker Rights Policy in São Paolo and Bogotá with Manuel Rosaldo
DESCRIPTION:Topic: “Is Formalization the Answer? Is Informality the Problem?” Waste Picker Rights Policy in São Paolo and Bogotá\nDate: Thursday\, October 13th\nTime: 3:00pm – 4:30pm PT\nLocation: Luskin School of Public Affairs Faculty Lounge\, Room 5391\n\nUnder what circumstances does the formalization of informal jobs lead to pro-worker outcomes\, and when might formalization intensify workers’ exploitation or deprive them of work altogether? Drawing on 24 months of ethnographic field research\, this presentation analyzes two ambitious efforts to integrate informal waste pickers into formal waste management. This research finds that formalization policies in Bogotá\, Colombia elevated the incomes\, conditions\, and voice of thousands of waste pickers\, whereas parallel efforts in the seemingly more favorable context of São Paulo\, Brazil did not. Ultimately\, these differential outcomes hinged on waste pickers’ levels of power to shape policy design and implementation. \n\nGuest Speaker: Manuel Rosaldo\, Assistant Professor of Labor Relations and Sociology\, The Pennsylvania State University\nLoading…

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:IRLE Director Speaker Series: Front of the House\, Back of the House
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 16th\n12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m\nZoom Webinar \n\nTwo unequal worlds of work exist within the upscale restaurant scene of Los Angeles. White\, college-educated servers operate in the front of the house—also known as the public areas of the restaurant—while Latino immigrants toil in the back of the house and out of customer view. \nIn Front of the House\, Back of the House\, Eli Revelle Yano Wilson shows us what keeps these workers apart\, exploring race\, class\, and gender inequalities in the food service industry. \nDrawing on research at three different high-end restaurants in Los Angeles\, Wilson highlights why these inequalities persist in the twenty-first century\, pointing to discriminatory hiring and supervisory practices that ultimately grant educated whites access to the most desirable positions. Additionally\, he shows us how workers navigate these inequalities under the same roof\, making sense of their jobs\, their identities\, and each other in a world that reinforces their separateness. \nFront of the House\, Back of the House takes us behind the scenes of the food service industry\, providing a window into the unequal lives of white and Latino restaurant workers. \nEli Revelle Yano Wilson is assistant professor of sociology at the University of New Mexico. His research explores how race\, work\, and inequality intersect in the new economy. His first book\, Front of the House\, Back of the House (NYU Press)\, was named an Outstanding Academic Title by Choice Magazine in 2021.
