SUMMARY:Insurgency at the Crossroads: A Book Talk by AISHA FINCH
DESCRIPTION:In Rethinking Slave Rebellion in Cuba: La Escalera and the Insurgencies of 1841-1844\, Aisha Finch traces the emergence of a dynamic resistance movement of slaves and free people of color in nineteenth-century Cuba. Drawing from the largely unexplored testimonies in the Cuban National Archive\, this book focuses attention on the hundreds of enslaved people who forged a radical\, alternative vision of freedom in Cuba’s plantation countryside. Demonstrating that black slave women and non-elite slaves were critical to shaping and organizing this movement\, Rethinking Slave Rebellion in Cuba offers new ways to think about slave mobilizations\, black political struggles\, and histories of rebellion. \nRespondents: George Lipsitz\, UC Santa Barbara\, Department of Black Studies Ula Taylor\, UC Berkeley\, Department of African American Studies Lisa Brock\, Kalamazoo College\, Department of History Co-sponsored by: The Departments of African American Studies and Gender Studies

SUMMARY:Jordan T Camp on "Incarcerating the Crisis: Freedom Struggles and the Rise of the Neoliberal State"
DESCRIPTION:INCARCERATING THE CRISIS: FREEDOM STRUGGLES AND THE RISE OF THE NEOLIBERAL STATE \nJORDAN T. CAMP \nMonday\, November 28th\, 2016 \n12:00pm in the Black Forum Room; Haines Hall 153 \nBOOK TALK: The United States currently has the largest prison population on the planet. Drawing from his new book\, Incarcerating the Crisis: Freedom Struggles and the Rise of the Neoliberal State (University of California Press\, 2016)\, Jordan T. Camp will trace the roots of the carceral crisis through a series of turning points in U.S. history\, beginning with the urban uprisings of the 1960s and terminating with the policing crisis of 2014-2016. Through an examination of these dramatic instances of racial criminalization and state violence\, he will suggest the making of the neoliberal carceral state was not inevitable and that alternative outcomes have been and continue to be possible. \n\n\n\n\n \nJordan T. Camp is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Race and Ethnicity and International and Public Affairs at Brown University. He is the author of Incarcerating the Crisis: Freedom Struggles and the Rise of the Neoliberal State (University of California Press\, 2016)\, co-editor (with Christina Heatherton) of Policing the Planet: Why the Policing Crisis Led to Black Lives Matter (Verso Books\, 2016)\, and co-editor (with Laura Pulido) of Clyde A. Woods’ Development Drowned and Reborn: The Blues and Bourbon Restorations in Post-Katrina New Orleans (University of Georgia Press\, forthcoming). He earned his Ph.D. from the University of California\, Santa Barbara.

SUMMARY:Word on Wednesday Open Mic Night
DESCRIPTION:Word on Wednesday Open Mic Night\nSeptember 28th\, Wednesday 7-9 PM\, at the Kerckhoff Art Gallery \nThe Word Open Mic seeks to celebrate the counter narrative nature of spoken word poetry\, and its power to educate. We offer a platform for the stories of intersectionality to be listened to; especially in our current campus/society climate where conversations are more about comfort for the privileged than progress for the rest. \n\nProfessional poets will be featured in conjunction with student artists: Shasparay Lighteard\, a nationally recognized TED Talk poet will perform to conclude the night. Her narrative as a unique black woman living in intersectionality is needed in our current campus climate.

SUMMARY:UCLA Department of African American Studies Commencement
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Department of African American Studies will hold its Commencement Celebration on: \nSaturday\, June 11th\, 2016 \n11:30am at the Lenart Auditorium in the Fowler Museum \n*Students are recommended to come at least 45 minutes prior to the ceremony. Line up time is at 10:00am. \nAdditional Commencement Information: www.commencement.ucla.edu \nGuest Keynote Speaker: Jerrika Hinton\, Grey’s Anatomy actress. \nBright\, enterprising\, strikingly beautiful\, multi-faceted\, and an undeniable talent are all ways Jerrika Hinton can be described. In 2016 Hinton can be seen starring as the ambitious and headstrong “Dr. Stephanie Edwards” on ABC’s long running\, award winning series “Grey’s Anatomy.” Joining the cast in season nine [2012] Hinton quickly became one of the most talked about characters on the show. In addition to “Grey’s Anatomy” Hinton is currently in pre-production on SOLACE\, an independent film which she is producing. Written by filmmaker Tchaiko Omawale\, the film is a dark\, coming-of-age story about a young girl sent to live with her estranged family after the death of her father. Loneliness and sadness cause her to strike up a questionable friendship with the girl next door\, who further pushes her to spiral out of control. Hope Olaide Wilson [“The Last Ship\,” TNT] is set to star in the project. Born and raised in Dallas\, Texas\, Hinton has been performing since the age of three. She landed her first professional role at the age of eleven in a theatrical production of Roll of Thunder\, Hear My Cry. Hinton went on to attend Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas where she studied directing and playwriting at the Meadows School of the Arts. By the time she graduated she had directed three productions\, funded a small theatre company\, had written five shows\, and was awarded the SMU Rosenfield Award for Playwriting. Upon graduation Hinton traveled the US\, performing both classical and original works including most notably\, “Viola” in Twelfth Night (Utah Shakespearean’s Festival) and the political satire she co-penned\, Dreaming America (Echo Theatre). Continuing her commitment to developing new work\, she eventually moved to Massachusetts to collaborate with New WORLD Theater’s annual Project 2050 program\, a revolutionary multicultural and multidisciplinary youth arts program. In 2012 Hinton wrote\, produced\, and directed the short film THE STRANGELY NORMAL\, which received the distinction of being official selections at the San Francisco Black Film Festival\, Out In The Desert LGBT Film Festival\, and the Atlanta Black Film Festival. That same year she landed a series regular role on “Grey’s Anatomy.” ! While working behind the camera has always been one of Hinton’s passions\, fulfilling her love of bringing characters to life on screen has been of equal importance. Over the last few years\, she has held roles on top television series such as ABC’s “Scandal\,” FOX’s “Bones\,” the short lived yet critically acclaimed series “Terriers” for FX\, and FOX’s “Lie to Me.” When not working in film or television Hinton loves to nourish other aspects of her creative side\, including taking photos (her abstract photography can be found on her website\, taken mostly by her favorite camera\, the Olympus PEN)\, throwing themed events for her friends and family\, and studying French. She is also a bit of a daredevil; her next mission is to take a course on stunt driving. Hinton has been a longtime supporter of The Innocence Project. She has also maintained her commitment to both creativity and community service\, teaching at numerous theaters and most recently serving as an artist-in-residence at the East LA Classic Theatre. She currently volunteers with The Actors Fund.

SUMMARY:"How Structural Racism Works" by Tricia Rose
DESCRIPTION:This lecture introduces Rose’s in-progress research\, video and public engagement project. In it\, Rose argues that five key drivers of structural racism—housing\, criminal justice\, education\, wealth and media—form a flexible\, highly connected apparatus. In addition\, the project highlights the role of narrative in driving structural racism as well as the problem and yet importance of making legible and compelling a progressive\, anti-racist popular narrative in a highly mass-mediated age.

SUMMARY:"Urban Removal: Police\, Prisons\, and Domestic Policy after Civil Rights" by Elizabeth Hinton

Hinton’s research focuses on the persistence of poverty and racial inequality in the 20th century United States.

SUMMARY:The 40th National Council for Black Studies Conference Call for Papers
DESCRIPTION:All abstracts must be submitted online no later than January 15\, 2016. \nOn the heels of the establishment of the first generation of Black Studies departments and programs across the United States\, starting from 1968\, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte hosted a conference of Black Studies scholars in March 1975 to create a national organization that would help guide the standardization of the curriculum\, mission\, and the accreditation of Black Studies academic units. It was from that meeting that the National Council for Black Studies was created in July 1975. Forty years later\, the field of Black Studies has grown into a formidable discipline and field of study with more than 200 degree programs at the Undergraduate\, Master’s and Doctoral levels in the United States alone. The 2016 conference of the National Council for Black Studies offers a critical juncture to reflect on the difficulties and accomplishments that have accompanied the institutionalization of Black Studies in the academy\, as well as the new opportunities and emerging challenges that deserve the attention of scholars\, activists\, and policy makers regarding the condition of black people globally. \nParticipants are invited to present new theoretical and empirical studies as well as new models of practice and social activism on a wide range of topics that deal with the Black experience globally and across time. The NCBS\, therefore\, invites abstracts for individual papers\, panels\, posters\, roundtable discussions\, and workshops on various aspects of Black Studies that are informed by historical and social science analyses\, arts and literary criticism\, philosophical reflections\, and spiritual interventions\, among others\, especially as these may relate to the issues of race\, migration\, citizenship\, social justice\, Pan-Africanism\, environmental and social sustainability\, globalization\, diaspora formations\, development and economic empowerment\, moral economy\, community formation\, sexuality\, and gender. We welcome you to submit abstracts that explore transnational\, transcultural\, transgendered approaches; studies that are place or region specific; as well those that explore the questions of modernity and the challenges of its “post” manifestations and reifications such as postcoloniality\, postmodernity\, and postraciality. \nYou are encouraged to dig deep into the intellectual history of Africana Studies and use this background to formulate inter-generational and inter-geographic theories about the black experience. We are also looking for studies that amplify and challenge seemingly centered and settled perspectives in order to explore new directions in Black Studies. For example\, what does it mean to be Africa-centered in the 21st century in the face of the new media\, digital revolution\, and hyper-globalization? What pedagogical tools make Black Studies necessary for developing a culture-conscious and history-literate global citizenry? What new insights do we offer for creating a just world? How do we develop frameworks of multi-tiered social responsibility at the individual\, family\, community\, national\, corporate\, and multinational levels for sustainable and ethical solutions to the challenges of racism\, mass incarceration\, poverty\, political apathy\, and anti-black violence? We seek to develop a conference program that defines the global black presence in accordance with the original Pan-African vision of Black Studies. \nHence\, scholars working on the black experience in North America\, the Caribbean\, Latin America\, Africa\, Europe\, Australia and Asia are invited to submit abstracts. Interested participants\, established and emerging scholars\, students and social activists\, should send an abstract of no less than 75 – 250 words for a panel (one for the panel subject and one for each panelist)\, and/or individual paper and poster presentations. \nFor round-table discussions and workshop\, please submit a 75-250 word abstract. \nFor more information visist: http://www.ncbsonline.org/
