SUMMARY:Wayward Lives\, Beautiful Experiments: A Reading With Saidaya Hartman
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThe UCLA Department of Gender Studies Hosts \nWayward Lives\, Beautiful Experiments: A Reading With Saidiya Hartman   \nMarch 13\, 2019\, 4:00pm \nCornell Hall Room D313\, Anderson School of Management \nRSVP Required: https://waywardlivesucla.eventbrite.com \n\nSaidiya Hartman\, Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University\, will read from and discuss her new book\, Wayward Lives\, Beautiful Experiments: Intimate Histories of Social Upheaval. \nWayward Lives\, Beautiful Experiments examines the social revolution of black intimate life in New York at the beginning of the twentieth century in a breathtaking work of history and literary imagination. \nIn Wayward Lives\, Beautiful Experiments\, Saidiya Hartman examines the revolution of black intimate life that unfolded in Philadelphia and New York at the beginning of the twentieth century. Free love\, common-law and transient marriages\, serial partners\, cohabitation outside of wedlock\, queer relations\, and single motherhood were among the sweeping changes that altered the character of everyday life and challenged traditional Victorian beliefs about courtship\, love\, and marriage. Hartman narrates the story of this radical social transformation against the grain of the prevailing century-old argument about the crisis of the black family. \nIn wrestling with the question of what a free life is\, many young black women created forms of intimacy and kinship that were indifferent to the dictates of respectability and outside the bounds of law. \nBeautifully written and deeply researched\, Wayward Lives recreates the experience of young urban black women who desired an existence qualitatively different than the one that had been scripted for them—domestic service\, second-class citizenship\, and respectable poverty—and whose intimate revolution was apprehended as crime and pathology. For the first time\, young black women are credited with shaping a cultural movement that transformed the urban landscape. Through a melding of history and literary imagination\, Wayward Lives recovers their radical aspirations and insurgent desires. \nSponsored by the Department of Gender Studies with generous co-sposorships from the Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies\, the Humanities and Social Sciences Divisions\, the Departments of African American Studies and English\, and the Center for the Study of Women.

SUMMARY:The Dreamer and the Dream: Afrofuturism and Prophetic Visions of Blackness
DESCRIPTION:The Dreamer and the Dream\nAfrofuturism and Prophetic Visions of Blackness \nWednesday\, March 6th\, 2019 \n10:00am-11:30am \nHaines Hall 215 \nA talk by Dr. Roger Sneed: Afrofuturism as a way of Black people expressing their identity through speculative fictions is fairly new\, and yet it is not new. We can trace the Black use of speculative fiction to articulate visions of Blackness and critique white supremacy back to W.E.B. DuBois’s 1920 short story “The Comet.” However\, Afrofuturism has made a resurgence\, due in part to the phenomenal success of Black Panther\, ongoing interest in the work of Octavia Butler\, and the rise of the “blerd” (a portmanteau of “black” and “nerd”). Today’s talk uses an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as a focal point for investigating the intersections of Afrofuturism and Black Religious Thought.

SUMMARY:How Extended Family Health Affects Household Financial Status

SUMMARY:Black Feminism & the Practice of Care
DESCRIPTION:Black Feminism & the Practice of Care\nFriday\, November 16th\, 2018 \n9:00am-4:30pm \n9:00am Breakfast\, 9:30am Conversations begin\, 4:30pm Light Reception \nUCLA Faculty Center\, Sequoia Room \nAudre Lorde famously maintained that “caring for myself is not self-indulgence\, it is self-preservation\, and that is an act of political warfare.” This gathering explores the concept of care against the backdrop of Lorde’s quote\, through the lens of black feminist epistemology and praxis. It deliberately understands care as a community practice of generating power\, as well as an individual ethic of self-love\, and asks how ideas about care shape our political activism\, critiques of power\, and dreams of freedom. It also seeks to reimagine black wellbeing within a self-help culture that privileges whiteness and normative femininity\, and explores how black people have cared for one another across time and space. Finally\, it reconsiders the most familiar narratives of stress and depletion to show how black lives are diminished by state violence\, historical trauma\, neoliberal assaults\, heteropatriarchal norms\, ravaging kin ties\, and intramural violence. How can we engage new possibilities for self-care\, radical healing\, wholeness\, and joy? \nConversations by…\nAisha Finch | UCLA\nBeverley Hanson | Sistren Theater Collective\nCheryl Harris | UCLA\nCourtney Marshall | Phillips Exeter Academy\nErica Ball | Occidental College\nHonor Ford-Smith | York University\nImani Johnson | UC Riverside\nJasmine Seydullah | Vassar College\nJessica Johnson | Johns Hopkins University\nJessica Millward | UC Irvine\nJudith Casselburry | Bowdoin College\nLaKisha Simmons | University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\nMarne Campbell | Loyola Marymount University\nSA Smythe | UC Irvine\nSarah Haley | UCLA\nTerrion Williamson | University of Minnesota\nTiffany Willoughby-Herard | UC Irvine\nRegister here:\nBFPC2018.EVENTBRITE.COM\nFlyer Here\nSponsored by the UC Consortium for Black Studies in California\, the Center for the Study of Women\, the Department of Gender Studies\, the Office of Equity\, Inclusion\, and Diversity\, \nthe Division of Humanities\, the Division of Social Sciences\, and the Ralph J.
