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.

SUMMARY:'Race and the Totalitarian Century' with Vaughn Rasberry
DESCRIPTION:Race and the Totalitarian Century\n A discussion with author Vaughn Rasberry \n moderated by Justin Desmangles  \nWinner of the Ralph J. Bunche Award from the American Political Science Association\, and the American Book Award\, from the Before Columbus Foundation\, Race and the Totalitarian Century: Geopolitics in the Black Literary Imagination\,  shows how a group of black writers challenged Cold War liberalism’s conceit that it stood in stark opposition to totalitarianism (Nazism and Stalinism).  Writers such as Richard Wright\, W. E. B. Du Bois\, Shirley Graham\, C. L. R. James\, and John A. Williams\, committed to global decolonization and black freedom\, pointed to liberal democracies’ legacy of repression and injustice.  As a result\, they developed a perspective that reimagined the anti-fascist\, anti-communist narrative through the lens of racial injustice\, with the U.S. as a tyrannical force in the Third World but also as an ironic agent of Asian and African independence. \n  \nTuesday\, May 15th\, 2018 \n5:00pm-7:00pm \nHistory Conference Room\, Bunche Hall 6275 \nCLICK HERE FOR THE FLYER \n Vaughn Rasberry is Associate Professor of English at Stanford University.  He works on African American and African Diaspora literature\, 20th-century U.S. fiction\, postcolonial theory\, and philosophical theories of modernity \n Justin Desmangles is the director of the Before Columbus Foundation and host of the radio broadcast New Day Jazz \nThis event is sponsored by the Department of African American Studies\, Department of English\, Gary B. Nash Chair & the Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies.
