SUMMARY:Book Talk with Abigail L. Andrews
DESCRIPTION:  \nIRLE Colloquia Series presents: \n\nIn conversation with Abigail L. Andrews about her new book: Undocumented Politics: Place\, Gender\, and the Pathways of Mexican Migrants\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor twenty-one months\, Abigail Andrews lived with two groups of migrants and their families in the mountains of Mexico and in the barrios of Southern California. Her nuanced comparison reveals how local laws and power dynamics shape migrants’ agency. Andrews also exposes how arbitrary policing abets gendered violence. Yet she insists that the process does not begin or end in the United States. Rather\, migrants interpret their destinations in light of the hometowns they leave behind. Their counterparts in Mexico must also come to grips with migrant globalization. And on both sides of the border\, men and women transform patriarchy through their battles to belong. Ambitious and intimate\, Undocumented Politics reveals how the excluded find space for political voice.\n\nAbigail Andrews is an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Urban Studies at the University of California-San Diego. Her research focuses on gender\, migration\, state power\, and grassroots agency. She is particularly interested in the struggles of marginalized groups in Mexico and the United States\, including indigenous peasants\, deportees\, and undocumented immigrants. She also co-direct the Mexican Migration Field Research Program at UCSD. Dr. Andrews has also studied power dynamics within transnational social movements and the role of gender in global politics. In collaboration with students at UCSD\, she is currently conducting field research about the political impacts of forced displacement\, with a focus on deportation and Central American transit through Mexico. \nFor more information\, visit http://bit.ly/AbigailAndrews. \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\n\n \n\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.\n\nCosponsored by: \nUCLA Center for Mexican Studies

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.

SUMMARY:Book Talk with Laura Velasco
DESCRIPTION:IRLE Colloquia Series presents:\n\nIn conversation with Laura Velasco about her new book: Migración\, trabajo y asentamiento en enclaves globales. Indígenas en Baja California Sur\n\n\nEste libro analiza las condiciones de vida de trabajadores inmigrantes en territorios que constituyen enclaves globales\, tanto agrícolas como turísticos de élite en el estado mexicano de Baja California. Las investigaciones que sustentan el libro muestran procesos comunes de segmentación\, segregación y etnización asociadas a condiciones precarias de trabajo y residencia para los inmigrantes\, aún con las arduas estrategias de reproducción social y cultural de los trabajadores y sus familias. La situación resultante conlleva a reflexionar sobre la sustentabilidad social de estos modernos enclaves globalizados\, así como respecto al papel de la intervención gubernamental para aminorar sus efectos en la producción y reproducción de desigualdades étnicas y sociales.\n\n\n\nFor more information\, visit http://bit.ly/LauraVelasco.\n\n\n\nLaura Velasco Ortiz: socióloga mexicana.
