         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote><blockquote>We are excited to launch the <strong>Call for Papers for the XXV Biennial Graduate Colloquium</strong> organized by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Texas at Austin. The keynote speakers for this year's conference are Dr. Rafael Orozco (LSU) and UT History alumna Dr. Evelyn Hu-DeHart (Brown University).&nbsp;<br>The Graduate Colloquium will take place at the <strong>University of Texas at Austin from 10 February, 2023 - 11 February, 2023</strong>, and this year's theme is "Community Building Through Iberian, Latin American, and Latinx Literatures, Cultures, and Linguistics." While community has offered a sense of unity, identity and resistance for many marginalized groups, communities are also marked by tensions and disagreements. How can community be a source of solidarity and mutual support? What are the possibilities that community-building offers for groups that have been historically dispossessed? What do we do with the tensions that community-building sometimes generates?&nbsp;<br>The colloquium will be a forum for graduate students at both UT Austin and other universities to explore the meanings, possibilities, and complexities of community in our historical, present, and future worlds; we welcome interventions from a wide range of fields and subfields, as well as interventions that conceive of community expansively, beyond its typical associations and meanings. If you are interested in participating:<br><br><strong>We invite you to submit a<br>&nbsp;250 word abstract in English, Spanish or Portuguese to </strong><a href="http://sites.utexas.edu/spanportcolloquium/"><strong>http://sites.utexas.edu/spanportcolloquium/</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;<br> before November<br> 28, 2022.&nbsp;</strong></blockquote></blockquote><div><br><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

We seek a scholar of Atlantic visual culture who engages intersectional and feminist approaches to the cross-cultural points of exchange between Europe, Africa, the Americas and the Caribbean in the Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century. Candidates should have a particular focus in one or more of these geographical regions while addressing more broadly foundational notions of modernity and modernization in the Atlantic world of The Enlightenment, Colonialism, and the Age of Revolution, such as the visual cultures of gender, indigenism, slavery, and diaspora.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The position will be housed in Art History, with a joint-appointment to the faculty of the School of Art (75%) and the Institute for Women’s Studies (25%). A PhD in Art History or Visual Studies is required, and two years teaching experience beyond graduate school is preferred. Successful candidates will have a proven record of active research and an emerging or established reputation within Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Trans-Atlantic Visual Cultures with a research interest in issues of identity, sexuality, and gender. In addition to an active research agenda, the position carries a teaching load of 4 courses per year at the graduate and undergraduate level. Mentorship and advising of both graduate and undergraduate students is expected, as well as participation in graduate committees.

         <title>A message from our faculty Christen Smith and Lisa Moore on the Colorado tragedy: </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Our Director here at the Center for Women's and Gender Studies, Christen Smith and LGBTQ Studies Program Director Lisa Moore, share their thoughts and musings on the latest tragedy affecting our community. <br><br><strong><em>Christen Smith:<br><br></em></strong>Dear CWGS Community,&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>I’m writing to share LGBTQ Studies Director, Lisa Moore’s statement on the Colorado Springs tragedy. Words cannot express the grief we all feel after yet another senseless mass shooting. I think her words sum up all of these feelings. We hold the LGBTQ in love today and always.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Best regards, Christen <br><br><strong><em>Lisa Moore:<br><br></em></strong>Good morning beloved community.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>I'm overwhelmed by grief, rage, and even shame this morning. As you know, there was a mass shooting in Club Q, a Colorado Springs queer club. on Saturday evening. It left five dead and at least 25 injured.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Grief: I'm mourning the lives lost and those who loved them.<br><br></div><div>Rage: that our beautiful, hard-won places of refuge and joy can be targeted by deadly hate in a country where guns flow more easily than clean air and water. The U.S. is the world's armory.<br><br></div><div>Shame: misplaced, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit it was there. The generations of queer and anti-violence activism, solidarity, and culture change that have shaped me were not enough to prevent this dreadful loss of queer life. Our community joy is under violent siege.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>I hold all this in one hand. In the other, I hold the stories I'm reading of the ways the queer club employees and patrons turned immediately to helping one another, to de-escalating the violence. There was an active shooter plan in place, and it was deployed immediately. The first responder was not military or police, but a queer patron/employee who moments before had been enjoying the music, who then grabbed the gun, clubbed the shooter over the head, and, with the assistance of another person, brought the shooter to the ground and kept him there until he was disarmed. Estimates are that these actions saved dozens of lives. This is what our principles of nonviolence, mutual aid, and community look like. This is queer love in action.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>I can't help comparing what happened to the horrible loss of life in Uvalde, where dozens of trained policer officers stood around and let all those children die. They could have used some unarmed queers up in there.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Let's be gentle with ourselves and one another today. In honor of those who hold space for queer love and community, I'll be making a donation to allgo in the names of the Colorado Springs victims, and in gratitude for all of you.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>A big lesbian hug,</div><div>Lisa</div><div>&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

Each deity has an unique legend and these legends are often interwoven with socio-historic tropes of India.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Puthirai vannaar is an 'unseeable' Dalit caste group, in southern India.Their forced-occupation is to wash clothes of other Dalits, the dead and the menstruating women. This film is a tale about a young girl who grew up in Puthirai vannaar caste group and how she came to be immortalised as their local deity, Maadathy.</div><div><br><br><strong>Director's Statement<br></strong><br></div><div>I have grown up listening to stories of my village female deities who were once ordinary women but had extra ordinary lives. Most of these goddesses were killed by injustice and hence were worshipped in order to save the village from their wrath. These legends of social suppression are always a great learning material to understand my roots and evolution of the society I live in.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div><em>Maadathy</em> is my attempt to introspect what is it being an unseeable slave woman, living the lowest among the lowest, as a victim to both patriarchy and caste system.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXlYRUWIUJY"><mark>Click here to watch the trailer</mark></a><mark>.</mark><br><br></div><div><strong><em>Sponsored by: The South Asia Institute at UT Austin</em></strong></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title> [Publication Opportunity for Undergraduates] Crossings: Swarthmore   Undergraduate Feminist Research Journal</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We are happy to announce the creation of a new undergraduate interdisciplinary research journal in feminist theory and scholarship at Swarthmore College. <em>Crossings</em> is an open-access, peer reviewed publication that is inspired by M. Jacqui Alexander’s <em>Pedagogies of Crossings</em>, which takes as its basis the concept of the Middle Passage, the Crossing, to understand Black transnational feminism’s erosion of boundaries —disciplinary conventions, respectability politics, national borders, and bodies that are gendered, sexualized, and racialized, among others kinds of categories—&nbsp; in relation to empire and postmodernity.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Our inaugural issue’s theme is “Crossings,” which generally seeks to explore the question, what does it mean to cross boundaries in feminist research? This is an open-ended theme (a list of examples is included in our call for papers). We accept publications from any field of research that generally touches on the themes of women, femmes and LGBTQ+-identified people with a special interest in perspectives by and about racialized women. We invite open-ended submissions exploring the horizons of non-traditional, boundary-crossing research in feminist theory, applications of feminist analysis, discussions of methodologies, interview-style features, and multimedia projects. <strong><mark>All submissions are due by 16 Dec. 2022 for full consideration in our inaugural issue.</mark></strong></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Check out the <a href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fworks.swarthmore.edu%2Fcrossings%2Fnews.html&amp;data=05%7C01%7C%7C1715a76003b243495b2708daca775006%7C31d7e2a5bdd8414e9e97bea998ebdfe1%7C0%7C0%7C638044911391813002%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=Sgyb4fkOPMiE6yhU6Era%2FZOxEQWDJD%2FvvfSMAFCneIE%3D&amp;reserved=0">call for papers</a> and <a href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fworks.swarthmore.edu%2Fcrossings%2Fpolicies.html&amp;data=05%7C01%7C%7C1715a76003b243495b2708daca775006%7C31d7e2a5bdd8414e9e97bea998ebdfe1%7C0%7C0%7C638044911391969229%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=dyxNbbxRBHfifygngUSJNbEi0qZO9Gkv33BS4Cu1HxI%3D&amp;reserved=0">guidelines</a> on our website or email us at <a href="mailto:crossings@swarthmore.edu">crossings@swarthmore.edu</a> for more information or to direct any questions.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Hello all! I am a student currently enrolled in BGS 375: Business and Policy in the Age of Inequality in the McCombs School of Business with Professor Adam Cobb. Our final project challenges students to design and implement an intervention to enact some sort of positive change in or around the UT campus/Austin area.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Our group has decided to focus on <mark>food insecurity among UT students.</mark> Food security is defined as “the lack of financial resources to supply food within a household.” According to this definition, a study by the UT Student Government conducted during Spring of 2022 determined that 35% of UT students classify themselves as food insecure.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>For our final project, our group is seeking to reduce and destigmatize food insecurity among UT students. To do this, we developed a list of existing resources for food-insecure students.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Dear beloved LGBTQ Studies community:<br><br>I'm delighted to let you know that Dr. Alison Kafer, Associate Professor of English and Women's and Gender Studies, has been appointed as the incoming Director of the LGBTQ Studies Program, starting Jan. 1, 2023. Dr. Kafer is an esteemed scholar of feminist, queer, and disabiity studies, the former Director of the Feminist Studies Program at Southwestern University, and the author of the groundbreaking book, Feminist, Queer, Crip. Alison is also the co-chair of the Provost's Disabled Faculty Equity Council. We are fortunate to have such a distinguished colleague (and beloved friend and teacher) as our next academic leader.<br><br>Personally, I want to thank each and every one of you for your participation in and support of the LGBTQ Studies Program over the last four years. It has been the highlight of my career to serve this community. I've learned so much and met so many wonderful students, staff, and faculty who are dedicated to justice, equity, inclusion, and advocacy for queer and trans people and studies. I especially want to thank Dr. Christen Smith, Director of the Center for Women's and Gender Studies, first Grayson Hunt and now Sawyer Tedder (our mighty mighty LGBTQ Studies staff), and the incredible staff of the Center (Pat Heisler, Jackie Salcedo, Sawyer and Ashley Berry) who have been with us every step of the way.&nbsp;<br><br>Let's all welcome Alison. I know you'll do everything you can to support her, and I'm so excited about what she will bring to our collective endeavours.<br><br>One last big lesbian hug,<br>Lisa<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Spring 2023 Graduate Course Offering</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>AFR 386C Black Worth and Reproductive Justice</strong></div><div><strong>T 2:00-5:00 p.m.</strong></div><div><strong>CMA 3.108</strong></div><div><strong>Dr. Nessette Falu</strong></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Course description</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>How “worth” is placed upon Black bodies and communities has been theorized in Black studies and Black feminist studies for decades. Specifically, Black worth can be understood through the varied scholarly disciplines within two divergent, yet communicative, spectrums: (1) human capital, human labor, objectification, disposability, and death, and (2) survival, resistance, healing, agency, love, wellness, freedom. These conceptual approaches to the study of Black worth are not exhaustive yet point to the critical available pathways to examine how people, society, systems, and hegemonic power situate the Black body and flesh to expend and extract its worth. A key existential and epistemological question remains underexplored: Is Black worth a category of being and nonbeing, which cannot deny the simultaneous effects of both life and death, loss and transformation, enslavement and agency, joy and despair? In other words, must Black scholars always choose a specific inquiry and approach to the study of Black worth rather than an all-encompassing framework to theorize it? A renewed interrogation of reproduction and reproductive justice will guide us into such possibilities or impossible possibilities about Black worth.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>This course will focus upon Black worth as a category of both life/living and death/dying, and all in-between, through the lens of reproduction and reproductive justice. Students will delve into reproductive topics such as birthing, abortion, sexual health, reproductive cancers, and sex-change surgeries to center the malleability and formations of Black worth. We will interrogate these matters of Black worth and its situatedness in scholarship, practice, and the world. As a graduate course, we will explore deeper philosophical, biological, and social scientific questions such as: Is there an in-between space (not liminal but an ethical substance perhaps) of knowledge production about Black worth? Has Black scholarship sufficiently pushed the limits to understand Black existence and in the making quotidian life itself? Is there a periphery or center to theorizing Black worth and reproduction? Does reproductive justice still belong to the study of Blackness? This course responds to these questions to consider new avenues of reproduction studies in relation to race, gender, sexuality, class, nation, and other social dimensions that allows us to bring into question the value of Black life itself.</div>]]></description>

For feminist scholars and activists, “time” holds a material – if not affective - aspect of the feminist work, thought and rhetoric. The (re) thinking of the future reinforces the idea of constructing for difference: pursuing a political goal forces us to think in terms that go beyond the past, present, and future to examine how things will have been once the goal has been attained. For many feminists, this framing represents a hopeful source of contestation to the normative and colonialist legacies of the past, a way of grounding shared resistances in present coalitions and the development of imaginable feminist futures. In a COVID-19 era, we join feminist calls to reclaim the future and time for collective well-being as some of the critical puzzles for feminist liberation that we can no longer neglect in our works and lives.</em></div><div><br><br></div><div>Abstracts and art work proposals must be submitted by <strong>Dates and deadlines&nbsp;</strong></div><div><br></div><div><strong>February 1st (Wednesday):</strong> Deadline for abstract and art work submissions</div><div><strong>February 21st:</strong> Notification of acceptance&nbsp;</div><div><strong>March 1st:</strong> Deadline to register for the conference as a panelist/confirm presentation.</div><div><strong>March 11-19th:</strong> Spring Break</div><div><strong>March 22th (Wednesday) - March 23rd (Thursday): </strong>Conference in Austin, TX</div><div><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

For the month of January, Dr. Alison Pittman will be presenting on her findings from a survey and focus group that was sent out to students and faculty at a Health Science Center in Texas encompassing five professions: dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and public health. The purpose of this survey was to assess knowledge and attitudes about SGM health and their perceptions of their own SGM health curriculum. Survey results were intended to identify gaps in SGM health education and guide curriculum development. Follow-up focus groups of health professions students were also conducted to elicit themes regarding attitudes and comfort with caring for SGM patients. This presentation will discuss the results of these surveys and the implications it has for health education programs across the state.<strong><br></strong><br></div><div><strong><br></strong><br></div><div>If you are interested in attending this talk, please use this Zoom link to register for the event: <a href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fmeeting%2Fregister%2FtZUkf-ugqTstG9enu3-OTB0bBk_ekV559ogE&amp;data=05%7C01%7C%7C025a9b1f9c5045cc7c5d08daeda8ab15%7C31d7e2a5bdd8414e9e97bea998ebdfe1%7C0%7C0%7C638083605939078561%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=gpym4d7e0uKScG1mNsSxGrTj8c4F9TXcPw51rb2ajBE%3D&amp;reserved=0">https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUkf-ugqTstG9enu3-OTB0bBk_ekV559ogE</a>. <strong><br></strong><br></div><div><br></div><div>If anyone has any questions, please feel free to reach out.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

Should we expect Latinos to maintain this unique identity for generations to come, and what can Latino identity tell us about political attitudes and participation? By the end of this course, students should be able to understand the differences and similarities between national origin groups and explain how these differences affect political participation.

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><mark>Abya Yala in Flux: Political Change, Resistance Movements, and Trans*formations <br></mark></strong><strong><br></strong>The Conference topics may include studies focused on the transformations in Abya Yala, such as resistance movements that aim at people’s well-being and decolonial narratives. Therefore, topics may include, but are not limited to:&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><ul><li>Art, activism, and social movements&nbsp;</li><li>Afro-diasporic and Indigenous peoples in Abiayala&nbsp;</li><li>Borders and borderlands studies&nbsp;</li><li>Climate change, environmental crises, and territorial changes&nbsp;</li><li>Communications and mass media&nbsp;</li><li>Decolonial education&nbsp;</li><li>Gender and sexuality studies&nbsp;</li><li>Health studies (emotional, physical, public, mental, spiritual, etc.)&nbsp;</li><li>Images, archives, and discourses&nbsp;</li><li>Incarceration, policing, and surveillance states&nbsp;</li><li>Labor and work studies&nbsp;</li><li>Literature, linguistics, and culture&nbsp;</li><li>Memory and ancestrality&nbsp;</li><li>Migrations and migration studies&nbsp;</li><li>New political-economic leadership and its meanings&nbsp;</li><li>Research methodologies for the common good (e.g., community-engaged scholarship, participatory action research, scholar-activism, etc.)&nbsp;</li><li>Maintenance of colonial practices in capitalism&nbsp;</li><li>Transformations in historical narratives&nbsp;</li><li>Youth cultures and youth studies&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br></div><div>In a moment of many climatic, cultural, economic, political, and social trans*formations, what is the role we are called to assume as scholars of Latin America and the Caribbean? We recognize the ongoing consequences of the pandemic in Abya Yala, the human and social losses of which have revealed new forms of exploitation favoring political-economic elites, especially in the Global North. Alongside this prominent constellation of bionecropolitical forces in the region, we highlight the sustained resistance that positioned leaders in the political arena, such as the first leftist presidents in Colombia and Chile, and the return of the left in Argentina and Brazil. Likewise, the significant increase in trans, black, indigenous, and feminist people elected to public office across Latin America stands out. How can we contextualize this in the historical struggles of indigenous and black peoples, feminist, trans, and peasant struggles, among others, against States and their transnational necropolitical relations? Faced with this mobilization against the machinery of death in the region, we ask ourselves, how can we contribute to these trans*formative struggles in solidarity with activists and community leaders whose bodies and territories continue to be violated as spaces of dispute by the policies of racial neoliberalism?<br><br></div><div><strong><br></strong><strong><mark>Submit your proposal here: https://forms.gle/bLRGHeySNHWEBCP36&nbsp;</mark></strong></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Vibe as Vitality: Just Urban Futures and a Black Sense of Place: Dr Kaily Heitz, Friday Jan 27th at 4pm, RLP 0.128</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><mark>Friday Jan 27th at 4pm, RLP 0.128<br><br></mark><br></div><blockquote><br>&nbsp;Black cultural districts are emerging as a community development-based approach to fight displacement in gentrifying cities. At the heart of these projects is a desire to preserve spaces of community well-being and the sense of place forged therein. Using<br>&nbsp;Oakland, California, as a case study, this talk explores the concept of “vibe” to explain how structures of racial inequality in US Western spaces have created particular forms of relation. These affective connections are critical to reimaging Black community<br>&nbsp;development as liberatory projects of spatial reclamation.</blockquote>]]></description>

For feminist scholars and activists, “time” holds a material – if not affective - aspect of the feminist work, thought and rhetoric. The (re) thinking of the future reinforces the idea of constructing for difference: pursuing a political goal forces us to think in terms that go beyond the past, present, and future to examine how things will have been once the goal has been attained. For many feminists, this framing represents a hopeful source of contestation to the normative and colonialist legacies of the past, a way of grounding shared resistances in present coalitions and the development of imaginable feminist futures. In a COVID-19 era, we join feminist calls to reclaim the future and time for collective well-being as some of the critical puzzles for feminist liberation that we can no longer neglect in our works and lives.</div><div><br></div><div>Some questions to consider further<br>&nbsp;are:</div><ul><li>What is the future of feminism?<br><br></li><li>What’s the relationship between time and care?<br><br></li><li>Who is imagined to exist in the future?<br><br></li><li>How can we enact the power of memory and collective resistance<br>&nbsp;to shape radical future imaginaries?<br><br></li><li>What is the place of the body in contemporary feminist practices of care?<br><br></li><li>How can we account for history and its ‘after-life’ in<br>&nbsp;our contemporary work? How does this knowledge help us formulate a tool for our future?&nbsp;<br><br></li><li>How can bodies, embodied<br>&nbsp;experiences, and feelings be recognized as central elements of our feminist work?&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br></div><div>Presentation at this conference will count towards the WGS MA Program, and the WGS Graduate Portfolio Certificate and/or the WGS Graduate Portfolio Certificate LGBTQ Studies Track. &nbsp;</div><div><br>For more information about the Graduate Portfolio, visit: <a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/cwgs/graduate-studies/portfolio-program.html">https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/cwgs/graduate-studies/portfolio-program.html</a>&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>We will consider work previously presented at another conference or produced during coursework, and especially encourage submissions relevant to this year’s theme.</div><div><br></div><div>Submissions:<br>Students proposing individual presentations (15 minutes) on any topic must submit a 250-word abstract, a one sentence description of the presentation, and a 1-2 sentence biography (in third person) through the Participant Application Form available at:<br><a href="https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_823uwcMiJRRY3pc">https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_823uwcMiJRRY3pc</a><br><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Questions can be directed to <a href="mailto:cwgsconference@gmail.com">cwgsconference@gmail.com</a><br><br></div><div><br><br></div><div><strong>Dates and deadlines&nbsp;</strong></div><div><br></div><div>February 1st (Wednesday): Deadline for abstract and art work submissions</div><div>February 21st: Notification of acceptance&nbsp;</div><div>March 1st: Deadline to register for the conference as a panelist/confirm presentation.</div><div>March 11-19th: Spring Break</div><div>March 22th (Wednesday) - March 23rd (Thursday):<br>&nbsp;Conference in Austin, TX</div><div><br></div><div>April 24 (Monday): Last Class Day</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

In the aftermath of the shooting, several organizations emerged to focus on advancing the social and political rights of all LGBTQ+ People of Color. Findings from this study underscore needed structural interventions to address health equity for LGBTQ+ People of Color and underscore 1. The need for social support and health care spaces attentive to intersectional forms of oppression; 2. Political advocacy around matters that impact multiply-minoritized LGBTQ+ individuals, such as undocumented Latinx people and trans women of color; and 3. How social justice movements can inform health equity efforts, particularly around HIV.<br><br>For more information and to register for this event, please see the attached flyer.

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><em><mark>THIS TALK HAS BEEN RESCHDUELED FOR FEBUARY 10TH<br></mark></em></strong><em>no change to time and location<br></em><br>This presentation unpacks ecotourism developments in Pristine Forest and Savannah ecosystems of Uganda. It specifically interrogates the gains, including gendered eco-innovations and concurrent tensions and complexities, emerging from ecotourism developments. Dr. Boonabaana center communities living close to ‘Bwindi Impenetrable National Park,’ packaged as a ‘gorilla wilderness product’ for an international tourist gaze. Dr. Boonabaana argues that while ecotourism has been ‘romanticized’ as a key pathway for invigorating rural livelihoods, cultures, and biodiversity integrity, it is not unproblematic. It has triggered new forms of displacements, exploitation, and vulnerabilities that are often silenced in the mainstream conservation and development policy and theoretical narratives. They will unravel these complexities and question what these mean for climate and social justice in the area, and similar conservation spaces around the world.<br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>MAPPING<br>THE FUTURE: FEMINIST EMBODIMENTS OF CARE</strong></div><div><br></div><div>30th Annual Emerging Scholarship in Women’s and Gender Studies Graduate Student Conference,<br>March 22rd and March 23th,<br>2023 (Hybrid Conference)</div><div><br></div><div>The CWGS graduate student-run conference offers both undergraduate and graduate students at any recognized university the opportunity to share their research highlighting issues in women's, gender, and/or sexuality studies with the students and faculty affiliates of CWGS, The University of Texas at Austin community, and CWGS community partners.</div><div><br></div><div>Abstracts and artwork proposals must be submitted by<strong> </strong><strong><mark>February 15th, 2023</mark></strong></div><div><br></div><div>The 2023 conference theme is “Mapping The Future: Feminist Embodiments of Care”.</div><div><br></div><div>Time and radical care for the future are emerging in significant directions in feminist theory, generating fascinating conversations about the power of memory, resistance and collective action to trouble universal, capitalistic and homogenous notions of time. For feminist scholars and activists, “time” holds a material – if not affective - aspect of the feminist work, thought and rhetoric. The (re) thinking of the future reinforces the idea of constructing for difference: pursuing a political goal forces us to think in terms that go beyond the past, present, and future to examine how things will have been once the goal has been attained. For many feminists, this framing represents a hopeful source of contestation to the normative and colonialist legacies of the past, a way of grounding shared resistances in present coalitions and the development of imaginable feminist futures. In a COVID-19 era, we join feminist calls to reclaim the future and time for collective well-being as some of the critical puzzles for feminist liberation that we can no longer neglect in our works and lives.</div><div><br></div><div>Some questions to consider further are:</div><div><br></div><ul><li>What is the future of feminism?<br><br><br></li><li>What’s the relationship between time and care?<br><br><br></li><li>Who is imagined to exist in the future?<br><br><br></li><li>How can we enact the power of memory and collective resistance to shape radical future imaginaries?<br><br><br></li><li>What is the place of the body in contemporary feminist practices of care?<br><br><br></li><li>How can we account for history and its ‘after-life’ in<br>our contemporary work? How does this knowledge help us formulate a tool for our future?&nbsp;<br><br><br></li><li>How can bodies, embodied experiences, and feelings be recognized as central elements of our feminist work?&nbsp;<br><br></li></ul><div><br></div><div>Presentation at this conference will count towards the WGS MA Program, and the WGS Graduate Portfolio Certificate and/or the WGS Graduate Portfolio Certificate LGBTQ Studies Track. &nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>For more information about the Graduate Portfolio, visit: <a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/cwgs/graduate-studies/portfolio-program.html">https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/cwgs/graduate-studies/portfolio-program.html</a>&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>We will consider work previously presented at another conference or produced during coursework, and especially encourage submissions relevant to this year’s theme.</div><div><br></div><div>Submissions:&nbsp;</div><div>Students proposing individual presentations (15 minutes) on any topic must submit a 250-word abstract, a one sentence description of the presentation, and a 1-2 sentence biography (in third person) through the Participant Application Form available at:<br><a href="https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_823uwcMiJRRY3pc">https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_823uwcMiJRRY3pc</a></div><div><br></div><div>Questions can be directed to <a href="mailto:cwgsconference@gmail.com">cwgsconference@gmail.com</a><br><br></div><div><strong>Dates and deadlines&nbsp;</strong></div><div>February 1st (Wednesday): Original deadline for abstract and art work submissions</div><div>February 15th (Wednesday): Deadline Extended due to Winter Storm</div><div>February 21st: Notification of acceptance&nbsp;</div><div>March 1st: Deadline to register for the conference as a panelist/confirm presentation.</div><div>March 11-19th: Spring Break</div><div>March 22th (Wednesday) - March 23rd (Thursday):<br>Conference in Austin, TX</div><div>April 24 (Monday): Last Class Day</div>]]></description>

         <title>Confronting Global Political Ecologies of Caste, Climate, and Racial Capitalism</title>
         <author>cwgs</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote><strong><mark>Day: Friday February 24<br></mark></strong><br><strong><mark>Time: 4-5pm<br></mark></strong><br><strong><mark>Location: RLP 0.128</mark></strong></blockquote><div><br>This talk and book project argues that the core concerns of environmental and climate justice can be further developed through a critical caste lens situated within global histories of racial capitalism. It focuses on the operation of caste power, showing that caste endures on the Indian subcontinent and around the world precisely because liberal and nationalist myths submerge caste within cultural and private spheres, rather than identifying caste as a structural feature of economic, social, and ecological plunder. It draws on ethnographic and archival research on caste- and race-based flooding, housing, and labor inequities in Bengaluru, India, and connects these with colonial histories of labor migrations to Bengaluru and the plantations of the Caribbean and Indian Ocean World. In doing so, it rethinks global climate precarity as forged through historical configurations of caste, race, and coloniality. Finally, it suggests that across anticaste, Black, and diasporic narratives lies an enduring commitment to planetary humanism. It is this ethic of humanism that must reinvigorate environmental justice politics.<br><br>Malini Ranganathan is Associate Professor in the School of International Service and a faculty affiliate of the Department of Critical Race, Gender, and Culture Studies at American University, Washington, DC. A critical urban geographer by training, her research on India and the U.S. focuses on the political economy of land, labor, and environmental justice, as well as global intellectual histories of Third World internationalism. She is the winner of the American Association of Geographers 2023 Harold M. Rose Award for Antiracist Research and Practice.

         <title>&quot;The Foundations of Glen Canyon Dam: Infrastructures of Dispossession on the Colorado Plateau&quot; Book Roundtable </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Institute for Historical Studies in the Department of History invites you to:<br><br>A book roundtable on "The Foundations of Glen Canyon Dam: Infrastructures of Dispossession on the Colorado Plateau"<br>https://utpress.utexas.edu/9781477303818/the-foundations-of-glen-canyon-dam/<br><br>The second highest concrete-arch dam in the United States, Glen Canyon Dam was built to control the flow of the Colorado River throughout the Western United States. Completed in 1966, the dam continues to serve as a water storage facility for residents, industries, and agricultural use across the American West. The dam also generates hydroelectric power for residents in Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and Nebraska. More than a massive piece of physical infrastructure and an engineering feat, the dam exposes the cultural structures and complex regional power relations that relied on Indigenous knowledge and labor while simultaneously dispossessing the Indigenous communities of their land and resources across the Colorado Plateau. Dr. Bsumek reorients the story of the dam to reveal a pattern of Indigenous erasure by weaving together the stories of religious settlers and Indigenous peoples, engineers and biologists, and politicians and spiritual leaders. Infrastructures of dispossession teach us that we cannot tell the stories of religious colonization, scientific exploration, regional engineering, environmental transformation, or political deal-making as disconnected from Indigenous history. This book is a provocative and essential piece of modern history, particularly as water in the West becomes increasingly scarce and fights over access to it continue to unfold.<br><br><strong><mark>When: Wednesday March 1, at 3:00-4:30pm. <br>Location: GAR 4.100 &amp; Zoom livestream.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Agnes, the pioneering, pseudonymized, transgender woman who participated in Harold Garfinkel’s gender research at UCLA in the 1960s, has long stood as a figurehead of trans history.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>In this rigorous cinematic exercise that blends fiction and nonfiction, director Chase Joynt explores where and how Agnes’s platform has become a pigeonhole. <em>Framing Agnes</em>endeavors to widen the frame through which trans history is viewed — one that has remained too narrow to capture the multiplicity of experiences eclipsed by Agnes’ notoriety.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Joynt is a long-time creative and academic collaborator with University of Chicago sociology professor Kristen Schilt. Together, the two uncovered a long-lost archive of Garfinkel’s interviews with subjects who sought care at the UCLA gender clinic in the 1950s and 60s—including Black and working-class trans men and women whose experiences were absent from sociological case studies and tabloid news stories alike.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Through a collaborative practice of reimagination, an impressive lineup of trans actors take on vividly rendered, impeccably vintage reenactments, bringing to life groundbreaking artifacts of trans healthcare.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Joynt and Schilt will answer questions after the screening.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Co-sponsored by LGBTQ Studies, Department of Sociology, and Moody College of Communications’ Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee.</div>]]></description>

She is the author of </strong><strong><em>Alternative Iran: Contemporary Art &amp; Critical Spatial Practice</em></strong><strong> (Stanford UP, 2022)</strong></div><div><strong>&nbsp;</strong></div><div><strong>Abstract:</strong><br><strong>The world’s first encounter with last September's tragic murder of the 22-year-old Mahsa Amini by Iran’s “morality police” was through her image. As millions around the world browsed through news and social media, they were shocked by the image of the unconscious Amini hooked up to ventilators—her punishment for showing some hair through a loosely worn scarf. In the days after Amini’s murder, thousands of Iranians protested all over Iran. Remarkably, whether from an art background or not, the actions of these groups bordered on performance and art: women dancing and twirling head scarves or residents participating in nighttime chants from rooftops and apartment windows. If not killed by beatings, bullets, and “non-combat” paintballs that can be fatal when shot at close range, once identified and captured, many protesters faced arrest, imprisonment, punishment, even execution. Portraits and art inspired by the victims quickly became the hallmark of the uprising in Iran with the slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom." Apart from its feminist edge and the extraordinary bravery of the youth, one thing that distinguishes this uprising from the previous ones is the boldness of its art. By looking at the art of Iran's recent uprising and other dissident Iranian art forms since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Pamela Karimi will discuss the role of creativity, performance, and art in contemporary world-making.</strong></div>]]></description>

For the month of March, Dr. Patricia Lara will be presenting on their experience as a Speech Language Pathologist and the development of a gender affirming voice clinic in a predominantly Hispanic and Catholic community. Transgender individuals seek voice and communication treatment since misgendering occurs when the outward appearance does not match the voice. This results in increased anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Speech language pathologists (SLP) play a role in the transition process as several studies have documented that a transgender person's transition may be more successful when the individual is happy with their voice (Davies, Papp, &amp; Antoni, 2018). However, getting insurance companies to cover gender-affirming health care including voice management is difficult (Center for Transgender Equality, 2023). Furthermore, according to the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA), only about 47% of SLP’s had any academic coursework in transgender voice and communication management and only 51% of respondent SLPs could describe any of the components of gender affirming voice management. Recognizing this need in our community, a gender affirming voice management clinic was developed providing clinical learning opportunities for graduate SLP students. This course describes the community, institutional and personal challenges and triumphs encountered in the development and maintenance of a gender affirming clinic in a predominantly Hispanic and Catholic community. For more information and to register for this event, please see the attached flyer. For more information about CMEs for this talk, please see the attached flyer. <br><br><br>About the Speaker:<br>Dr. Lara is a clinical associate professor in the Speech Language Pathology Program at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP).&nbsp; She is currently the director of the Gender Affirming Voice Management Lab for Transgender Persons. Her primary area of research focuses on gender affirming voice treatment and how self and listener perception affect quality of life such as housing, employment and mental health in transgender and gender diverse persons. In addition, Dr. Lara is also involved in the preparation of culturally competent and knowledgeable future speech language pathologists and interprofessional education related to vulnerable populations.<br><br><br><br>To register for this talk, please use this link: <a href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fmeeting%2Fregister%2FtZUkf-ugqTstG9enu3-OTB0bBk_ekV559ogE&amp;data=05%7C01%7C%7C82aca1b99db940f31a9f08db217899cb%7C31d7e2a5bdd8414e9e97bea998ebdfe1%7C0%7C0%7C638140574380682955%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=aUHP0gyrhyEBhz1lqJXSHzSC5bR53GkDVs%2BbEWjuUzk%3D&amp;reserved=0">https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUkf-ugqTstG9enu3-OTB0bBk_ekV559ogE</a></div><div><br><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>https://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/17280<br><br><strong>Indiana University </strong>is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to a multi-year study focused on understanding teachers’ attributional beliefs about mathematical excellence.<br><br>The project is entitled “Attributions of Mathematical Excellence in Teaching and Learning” (AMETL). The central hypothesis is that teachers’ beliefs attributing mathematical excellence to innate ability, cultural and social background, or personal characteristics widen the opportunity gap by resonating implicit bias and stereotype threat, and moreover, that beliefs attributing mathematical excellence to instructional opportunities narrow the gap because these beliefs amplify teacher expectations. The project comprises three studies focused on (1) item development to construct the AMETL scale; (2) validating the internal structure of the scale and determining relations with other variables; and (3) understanding relations between teachers’ scores on the AMETL scale with their classroom instruction.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>3/28 Machine Learning, Local Knowledge, and the Future of Global Food Security</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Machine Learning, Local Knowledge, and the Future of Global Food Security</strong></div><div><em>Dr. Erin Lentz</em><br>Tuesday, March 28, 7-8 p.m., Texas Union Theater</div><div>In 2022, 825 million people experience hunger globally. Variously caused, or exacerbated by, conflict, climate change, rising food and oil costs, and effects of the pandemic, researchers have called this “a year of unprecedented hunger” and warn that it may be a sign of things to come. What strategies are available to governments, non-governmental organizations, policy-makers, and others to address these crises? In this talk, Dr. Erin Lentz will explore this question by looking at two emergent but often opposed approaches to global hunger. First, machine learning has become a powerful tool to predict food insecurity in low-income countries, and provides ways to deepen our understanding of the drivers of hunger. Yet machine learning threatens to crowd out another and often overlooked approach to addressing food insecurity—contextual local knowledge that centers the voices and concerns of the hungry in the discussion about their future. In this talk, Dr. Lentz will unpack this tension between automation and local knowledge to explore why understanding hunger is so challenging. In doing so, she will show how machine learning technologies might – and might not – help to address emerging challenges of food insecurity in the twenty-first century.</div><div><strong>&nbsp;</strong><br>More information and links to recorded lectures can be found on our <a href="https://ugs.utexas.edu/uls">website.</a> <br> <br><br><br><strong>The remaining Spring 2023 lecture will be held on<br>&nbsp;March 28th, in the Texas Union Theater. Doors open at 6:30pm—please arrive early, as the lectures start promptly at 7pm!</strong><br>Space is limited, and we do have to turn away overflow once all seats are filled.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We hope you are doing well! <em>Crossings</em> at Swarthmore College is reaching out to your department in order to share a publication opportunity for undergraduate students. We are happy to announce the second issue of Swarthmore College's undergraduate feminist research journal.</div><div><br></div><div><em>Crossings</em> is an open-access, peer reviewed publication that is inspired by M. Jacqui Alexander’s <em>Pedagogies of Crossings</em>, which takes as its basis the concept of the Middle Passage, the Crossing, to understand Black transnational feminism’s erosion of boundaries—disciplinary conventions, respectability politics, national borders, and bodies that are gendered, sexualized, and racialized, among others kinds of categories—in relation to empire and postmodernity.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>You can find our inaugural issue on our website <a href="https://works.swarthmore.edu/crossings/">here</a>. For this next issue (Volume 1, Issue 2), we have an open call for papers for any article/multimedia piece that is related to feminist research. This is an interdisciplinary journal that accepts from all fields/disciplines that emphasize the experiences of women, femmes, and queer folks.<strong> All submissions are due by 22 April 2023 for full consideration. You may submit on our online portal. &nbsp;</strong></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Check out our <a href="https://works.swarthmore.edu/crossings/">website</a> and <a href="https://works.swarthmore.edu/crossings/policies.html">guidelines</a> on our website or email us at <a href="mailto:crossings@swarthmore.edu">crossings@swarthmore.edu</a>for more information or to direct any questions.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Monday, April 10 | 1:00–3:00 p.m. ET<br>Over the years, the institutional policies, practices, and discourses surrounding affirmative action have changed drastically, and with the impending Supreme Court decision, there is renewed attention to this issue that continues to have a significant impact on how institutions of higher education work to forward diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) on their campuses. In the wake of an impending Supreme Court decision on affirmative action, no matter the legal ramifications of this decision, institutions must be prepared to continue to lead for DEI in higher education in the face of resistance – whether legal or socio-political. This webinar will feature&nbsp; leaders and scholars who have experienced state-level affirmative action bans on how they responded and lessons learned as they lead for DEI.<br><br><br>Co-sponsored by the <a href="https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/8648b8bf-42bb-44ba-8765-bde650f7fb6a/umich-us9-list-manage-com-track-click1"><strong>National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education</strong></a>, the <a href="https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/8648b8bf-42bb-44ba-8765-bde650f7fb6a/umich-us9-list-manage-com-track-click2"><strong>Center for Social Solutions</strong></a>, <a href="https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/8648b8bf-42bb-44ba-8765-bde650f7fb6a/umich-us9-list-manage-com-track-click3"><strong>Democracy &amp; Debate</strong></a>, and the NCID's Diversity Scholars Network and Anti-Racism Collaborative.<br><br><a href="https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/8648b8bf-42bb-44ba-8765-bde650f7fb6a/umich-us9-list-manage-com-track-click4"><strong>Zoom Registration</strong></a></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>The LGBTQ+ Health Seminar Series</strong><br><br>Please join us for the next session of the LGBTQ+ Health Seminar Series. For the month of April, Dr. Andrew Yockey will be presenting on The Mediating Effect of Everyday Discrimination on Adverse Childhood Experiences and Mental Health Outcomes among Sexual and Gender Minority (SGM) Individuals. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are a known risk factor for numerous adverse health outcomes including poor mental health and substance use initiation. Moreover, ACEs disproportionately affect several populations (e.g., LGBTQ+) more than others. Exposure to SGM-ACEs may increase awareness of discrimination in adulthood contributing to SGM mental health disparities. Greater intervention to support SGM youth is needed given the potential long-term impact on adult SGM populations. For more information and to register for this event, please see the attached flyer. For more information about CMEs for this talk, please see the attached flyer.&nbsp;<br><br></div><pre>To register for this talk, please use this link: <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUkf-ugqTstG9enu3-OTB0bBk_ekV559ogE">https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUkf-ugqTstG9enu3-OTB0bBk_ekV559ogE</a>

         <title>SMNR: Reproductive Justice, Criminal Law, and the Carceral State Law Course</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The criminalization of abortion in many U.S. states following the Supreme Court’s decision in<em> Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization </em>has disrupted the presumed divide between the fields of reproductive rights and criminal law, with many in each field now attempting to familiarize themselves with the other. Reproductive justice scholars and advocates, however, have long been working at the intersection of these fields—considering the impacts of the overcriminalization and surveillance of poor communities of color on a variety of pregnancy outcomes. Specifically, they have identified multiple ways that criminal law, mass incarceration, and other institutional mechanisms such as the child welfare system have limited not only the right of many not to have children but the right to have them and to raise them in safety and with dignity. The criminalization of abortion is set to follow the same path, directly and indirectly disproportionately affecting those from overcriminalized groups.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>This seminar will consider the criminalization of reproduction—historical and contemporary, local and global—largely through the lens of reproductive justice. It will do so with the aim of achieving a better understanding of the current moment so that we might formulate better responses. It will be organized around the work of leading scholars who will present their research to the university community in a public forum. Students will spend roughly two weeks considering work by each speaker as well as related scholarly materials.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Students are expected to participate actively in class discussions, write short critical responses to assigned reading by visiting scholars, and write a longer essay on a topic related to the themes that arise during the semester. Readings for the seminar will come from a variety of disciplines, including law, sociology, and public health. The seminar is open not only to law students but to non-law graduate and professional students with relevant background.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Natasha Quadlin from UCLA will present &quot;Gender, Race, and the Evaluation of Achievement in the Labor Market.&quot;</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"Gender, Race, and the Evaluation of Achievement in the Labor Market."</div><div>Friday, April 21<br>12 p.m. – 1 p.m.<br>This talk will be held in person in <strong>RLP 1.302E</strong> and on Zoom.<br><br></div><blockquote>Zoom link: <a href="https://utexas.zoom.us/j/93412839170">https://utexas.zoom.us/j/93412839170</a>. This will be the link for all Friday Seminars this semester. Please have your camera on. Do not share the Zoom link via social media – we want to avoid unwanted visitors.</blockquote><div><br></div><div><strong>Abstract</strong>: Scholars of gender inequality have long pointed out that women's achievements in education are only partly borne out in the labor market. In this talk, I consider how workplace evaluations of achievement, especially in light of gender, race, and intersectionality, potentially contribute to these paradoxical trends. The data are drawn from a large-scale audit study in labor markets across the U.S., as well as a survey experiment of employed college graduates collected through Time-Sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences. I discuss findings from these studies, as well as methodological challenges for the study of discrimination.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Bio</strong>: Dr. Quadlin is an Associate Professor of Sociology at UCLA. Her research examines social inequality in the contemporary United States, with an emphasis on inequality in access and returns to education. She is particularly interested in using large-scale experiments and surveys to examine the mechanisms behind inequalities in schools, families, and labor markets. Other projects use experimental methods to examine public attitudes, and how these attitudes are linked with inequalities on account of gender, social class, race, and other characteristics.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Greetings colleagues, We are beginning a search for a policy associate (BA good, MA preferred) who will implement a component of the RPC intervention that aims to serve scholars identifying as persons of color regarding their policy engagement and navigating academic environments as policy-engaged scholars. Each of you have inspired our work in this area. This position will take on the responsibilities of the intervention component that Ayana Best (postdoc) has been developing upon her transition to Howard University. As Jamila has said, this will institutionalize our investment in supporting scholars of color navigating complex and marginalizing policy environments.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please share!!

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Good morning and welcome to <a href="https://sites.google.com/texaspridehealthcollaborative.org/home/collaborative">The Texas People-centered Research, Intervention Design and Evaluation (PRIDE) in Health Collaborative.</a> We are a network of more than 100 research and community partners from across Texas working to build capacity for LGBTQ+ health research through sharing our research and lived experiences.&nbsp; This year we are launching a virtual community that will offer opportunities for conversations and learning through monthly seminars, workshops, and community forums hosted on Zoom. This work is currently funded by The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute. <br><br>Over the past year, we have been working diligently with our statewide planning council to design programming meant to build capacity for LGBTQ+ health research here in Texas. Specifically, our work is aimed at developing community-driven research projects from ideas generated by LGBTQ+ Texans that will have a direct impact on the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ Texans.<br><br><strong>From LGBTQ+ Texans. For LGBTQ+ Texans.</strong><br><br>We hosted a total of ten listening sessions across Texas, at least one in each Texas Public Health Region, and then used that data to set health priorities from the perspectives of LGBTQ+ Texans. From these priorities we created monthly themes for our seminars and community forums with our statewide planning council. The seminars are meant to increase knowledge and skills among community members and researchers, so together they can design and implement community-centered research projects that are generated from ideas and experiences of LGBTQ+ Texans.&nbsp; <br><br>Our <em>Chat &amp; Chew: Solutions with Stakeholders</em> community forum is an opportunity for community members and researchers to engage in dialogue about the health priorities set by our planning council. Through these community forums we are hoping to understand perspectives of LGBTQ+ Texans regarding challenges they face and then co-develop solutions to those challenges. Together we will take these solutions and turn them into research questions and grant proposals. When funded, these research projects will then study the effectiveness of our community-driven solutions for improving health, wellbeing, and healthcare for LGBTQ+ Texans. <br><br><strong>Opportunities to Engage Every Week.</strong><br><br>Next month we will launch our programming.&nbsp; Then every Wednesday from 12 - 1 PM Central we will offer a virtual seminar or community forum. In September, our seminars and community forum will focus on mental health and trauma-informed care.&nbsp; Registration information will be available this coming week. <strong>In the meantime, please save the September dates.</strong>&nbsp; Once registration information is available, we will ask you to share that information with your networks as well. <br> <br><strong>September Seminars and Community Forum: Mental Health and Trauma-Informed Care</strong><br><strong><br></strong><em>There are continuing medical education and social work continuing education credits available for The LGBTQ+ Health Seminar Series and The Community Engagement and Health Equity Speaker Series.</em><br><br>The LGBTQ+ Health Seminar Series <strong>(Wednesday, September 6, 2023: 12:00 - 1:00 PM Central)</strong> - Engaging Sexual and Gender Minority Male Sexual Assault Survivors in Trauma Informed Care. <br><br>The Community Engagement and Health Equity Speaker Series<strong>(Wednesday, September 13, 2023: 12:00 - 1:00 PM Central)</strong> - Trauma-Focused Care in LGBTQ+ Communities: Building Capacity for Research. <br><br>Citizen Scientist Training 2.0 <strong>(Wednesday, September 20, 2023: 12:00 - 1:00 PM Central)</strong> - An Introduction to The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute. <br><br>Chat &amp; Chew: Solutions with Stakeholders <strong>(Wednesday, September 27, 2023: 12:00 - 1:00 PM Central)</strong> - Mental Health and Trauma Informed Care: Issues, Challenges, and Community-Centered Research Ideas.<br><br><strong>Learn more about The Collaborative and our programming here:&nbsp;</strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"According to a Student Government report released last spring, 32% of UT students are <a href="https://thedailytexan.com/2022/06/23/i-just-want-to-live-a-normal-college-student-life-student-government-report-finds-one-third-of-ut-austin-students-are-food-insecure/">food insecure</a>. The report cited living on or off campus and differences in access to reliable transportation as factors that impact student food security. <br>Article: <a href="https://thedailytexan.com/2022/09/13/food-resources-near-ut-campus/">https://thedailytexan.com/2022/09/13/food-resources-near-ut-campus/</a> <br><br><strong>UT Outpost&nbsp;</strong></div><blockquote>The<a href="https://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/emergency/utoutpost.php"> UT Outpost</a> is a free food pantry for students that offers a variety of foods and personal care products. Operating under four satellite locations in Patton Hall, the Gender and Sexuality Center, the LBJ School of Public Affairs and the Perry-Castañeda Library, as well as a central building on 2609 University Avenue. The UT Outpost is open to any students in need of food or personal care products. Hours for the Outpost vary depending on location and can be found on its <a href="https://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/emergency/utoutpost.php">website</a>.</blockquote><div><strong>UT Farmstand&nbsp;</strong></div><blockquote>Every other Wednesday,<a href="https://housing.utexas.edu/programs-services/sustainability/markets"> UT Farmstand</a> provides seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables and other goods at Jester Plaza from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The goods include a range of produce grown on UT campus.<strong>UT School of Social Work Food Pantry</strong>The Steve Hicks School of Social Work operates a<a href="https://socialwork.utexas.edu/student-resources/financial/food-pantry/"> free food pantry</a> directed towards social work students. Students in need can go to the school’s student lounge kitchen to obtain a variety of food.</blockquote><div><strong>Longhorn Baptist Student Ministry&nbsp;</strong></div><blockquote>Every Wednesday from noon-2 p.m, the<a href="https://longhornbsm.com/weekly"> Longhorn Baptist Student Ministry</a> provides free meals for all. The BSM offers both vegetarian and meat options under their FLOW initiative.&nbsp;<strong>LuMin</strong>The Lutheran Campus Ministry runs a program called<a href="http://lcmaustin.org/daily-bread/"> The Daily Bread</a> every Wednesday from 6-9 p.m. at 2100 San Antonio Street, Suite 120. Students can show their UT ID to receive a free bag of groceries. Along with this initiative, LuMin runs a weekly Tailgate Tuesday from 5-7 p.m. that offers free burgers with beef and vegan options for all.</blockquote><div><br><strong>UT Student Government Community Food Distribution</strong></div><blockquote>UT SG is running a pilot program to provide free snacks and drinks to students every month. SG has published a list of monthly dates on its <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNffdAulzo/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=">Instagram</a> and times where students can stop by on campus to obtain free food. Locations for the snack distribution may vary and will be posted on SG’s social media. The next distribution is Oct. 14.“How are you expected to go to such a rigorous university and attend your classes if you’re worried you’re not gonna have food on the table?” said SG vice president Isabel Agbassi. “It’s more of a prevalent issue that should be prioritized.”&nbsp;Agbassi, along with SG president Leland Murphy stated that they plan to take into account student feedback on the snacks and adjust provisions as needed.</blockquote><div><strong>Local Grocery Stores</strong></div><blockquote><strong>Wheatsville Co-op</strong>The <a href="https://wheatsville.coop/">Wheatsville Co-op</a> located at 3101 Guadalupe St. is a local grocery store that allows shoppers to become members for a one-time $70 payment. Afterwards, members can shop at Wheatsville and get discounted groceries and a money rebate during profitable years.<strong>H-E-B</strong>H-E-B is a large grocery store relatively close to UT campus. Students can use the<a href="https://www.capmetro.org/app"> CapMetro app</a> to locate the closest bus station to go to H-E-B, which offers a wide selection of fresh produce and general food products. The closest H-E-B to campus is located at 1000 E. 41st St.<strong>Orange Market</strong>Unlike some of the smaller bodegas and chain stores around campus,<a href="https://www.instagram.com/omartatx/?hl=en"> Orange Market</a>, located on 910 W. 25th St., offers fresh produce such as tomatoes, onions and greens, along with complementary goods such as spices. Orange Market is open 24/7, every day of the year.</blockquote><div><br><strong>Useful Apps</strong></div><blockquote><strong>H-E-B Favor</strong>For those who are unable to get to an H-E-B due to time constraints or transportation issues, the<a href="https://www.heb.com/static-page/mobile"> My H-E-B app</a> can be used to get groceries delivered directly to your house for a $5-$10 dollar delivery fee.</blockquote><div><br><strong>TooGoodToGo</strong></div><blockquote>To get food at a cheaper menu price, students can download the<a href="https://toogoodtogo.com/en-us/"> TooGoodToGo app</a>. The app lets users book different time windows to pick up surplus food from local shops and restaurants. Doing so saves both food waste and user money. For the UT campus area, students can select to pick up bags of food from O’s Campus Cafes across the campus, or off-campus shops such as Kung Fu Tea, Clay Pit and The Pizza Press. The application’s food options and availability are variable and time-sensitive, but food is often priced within the range of $3-$6 for a portion of surplus food.</blockquote><div><br><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Celebrating the Life and Work of Dr. Patricia Ann Somers - Call for Papers</title>
         <author>katniss2032</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Longhorn community,<br><br>Dedicated to her memory and her scholarship, the <em>Texas Education Review</em> announces a call for papers: “Academic Eclecticism: Celebrating the Life and Work of Dr. Patricia Ann Somers.”<br><a href="https://education.utexas.edu/news/2023/03/14/texas-education-mourns-patricia-somers/">On March 10, 2023, Dr. Patricia Ann Somers left this world</a>, but what she left behind is remarkable. Dr. Somers enjoyed a decades-long career, fighting for social justice and contributing to the research and practice of higher education both in the United States and abroad. Amassing thousands of citations and publishing over 100 articles, chapters, and conference proceedings in her career, defining Dr. Somers’ academic career in one word is impossible. However, given the breadth and depth of her work across over 40 years of scholarship, the word <em>eclecticism</em> comes to mind.</div><div><br>Dr. Somers’ research foci include financial aid, language, community colleges, gender equity, first-generation college students, faculty affairs, executive leadership, internationalization, Affirmative Action, academic capitalism, student veterans, and most recently, campus carry. In her mentees, Dr. Somers also instilled a sense of curiosity and dynamism that eschewed academia’s stereotype of the academic specialist. <strong><em>For Pat, everything was researchable because injustice is everywhere.<br><br></em></strong>It is in this spirit of academic eclecticism that the <a href="https://review.education.utexas.edu/"><em>Texas Education Review</em></a> is announcing a call for papers: “Academic Eclecticism: Celebrating the Life and Work of Dr. Patricia Ann Somers” on the one-year anniversary of her passing.</div><div><br>To be considered for the special issue, please submit<br>· An article no longer than 6,000 words all inclusive (references, tables, etc.) that falls within the scope of financial aid, language, community colleges, gender equity, first-generation college students, faculty affairs, executive leadership, internationalization, Affirmative Action, academic capitalism, student veterans, and/or campus carry.<br><br>· All articles must include a 150-word personal dedication to Dr. Somers, included in the 6,000 all-inclusive word count.<br><br>· All articles must include a 150-word abstract, included in the 6,000 all-inclusive word count.<br><br>· All articles must be co-authored, meaning each article must have at least two authors, in keeping with Dr. Somers’ tradition of collaborative research teams.<br><br>· Articles must be written in strict APA 7 format, in keeping with Dr. Somers’ passion for detail.<br><br>· Articles are due to <em>Texas Education Review </em>on February 1, 2024 with an anticipated publication date of July 1, 2024. All articles will undergo editorial screening, followed by double-blind peer review. Paper submission does not guarantee acceptance.<br><br>· Submission guidelines can be found here: <a href="https://review.education.utexas.edu/guidelines/">https://review.education.utexas.edu/guidelines/</a><br><br>· The special issue will be Guest Edited by Dr. Edward St. John (University of Michigan) and Dr. Zachary Taylor (University of Southern Mississippi). Please direct questions toward <a href="mailto:z.w.taylor@usm.edu">z.w.taylor@usm.edu</a><br><br>Biography of Dr. Somers:</div><div><br>Dr. Pat Somers was an associate professor at The University of Texas at Austin in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy.&nbsp; Dr. Somers also held faculty affiliations with the UT Center for Women &amp; Gender Studies and the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies. Over the years she distinguished herself with multiple Fulbright Scholar awards and other academic and institutional honors. In recent years, Dr. Somers focused extensively on international education, especially in Brazil, and emergent areas such as “campus carry” and academic freedom for faculty. She was a proud and active member of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and a staunch advocate for gender equity.</div><div><br>Dr. Somers earned her Ph.D. in higher education from the University of New Orleans in 1992 and began her faculty career that same year as an assistant professor at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock, earning tenure in 1998. In 1999, she joined the faculty at the University of Missouri, St. Louis, and in 2004 she became a faculty member here at UT. She also served in a number of student affairs-related roles including serving as assistant dean for student advising, director of international education and director of career planning at several institutions.</div><div><br><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>UCLA Center for the Study of Women / Barbra Streisand Center Presents:<br>THINKING GENDER 2024<br>“Dystopian Realities, Feminist Utopias”<br>February 28–March 1, 2024 Last Chance!<br>Call for Proposals Deadline: </strong><br>Sunday, October 29, 2023, at 11:59 PM PDT<br><br><a href="https://ucla.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=009211154028fc66436f23aaa&amp;id=f614ece1b1&amp;e=c1f82f6510"><strong>APPLY ONLINE</strong></a><strong><br></strong>The UCLA Center for the Study of Women|Barbra Streisand Center invites proposals for our 34th annual Thinking Gender Graduate Student Research Conference (TG24).<br><br>This year’s conference theme, “<strong>Dystopian Realities, Feminist Utopias</strong>,” considers what it means to live in the cataclysmic wake of racial capitalism, settler colonialism, and neoliberalism. At the same time, the theme celebrates how feminist, queer, and BIPOC scholarship, activism, and art enact utopias by imagining alternatives to hegemonic structures.<br><br>Prophesying the state of society and politics in the 2020s in her dystopian novel <em>Parable of the Sower</em>, Octavia Butler describes a world that is eerily similar to our current reality: society is crumbling under the weight of environmental disasters, capitalism, and social inequity. However desolate, the dystopia in <em>Parable of the Sower</em> is also filled with change and transformation, demonstrating the urgent need for us to imagine and create new possibilities for our future. Echoing this sentiment, José Muñoz proposes that futurity can be born of utopian imagination. In his book <em>Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity</em>, Muñoz argues that queer world-making is utopic in its refusal to accept a bleak future. Reading Butler and Muñoz together, therefore, inspires the theme for Thinking Gender 2024: “Dystopian Realities, Feminist Utopias.” The theme seeks to explore how dystopianism serves as an apt metaphor to explore and critique social and political issues related to gender, race, class, and sexuality and how utopianism is an ethical mandate to imagine a better present and future.<br><br>Possible questions for engagement include:<br>What are historical and contemporary examples of worldmaking practices amid catastrophes?<br>How does the state contribute to ongoing privation and crisis for marginalized communities and how do those communities respond?<br>How is the impact of anti-Blackness, colonization, and racial capitalism felt similarly and differently around the globe?How have coalitions and acts of solidarity enacted utopia historically and contemporarily? <br>What are some potential opportunities for solidarities that have yet to be explored?How does feminist thought, activism, and art critique resist hegemonic structures?How can we use Black, Indigenous, trans/queer freedom dreams to map an ethical future?<br>How do we enact or perform utopia in our lives, politics, and art?<br>What strategies and tactics have historical and contemporary movements for justice utilized?<br>What practices, movements, or aesthetics undermine state power and how?<br>What epistemologies or cosmologies help us envision a just future?<br><strong>We encourage applicants to think within, alongside, beyond, and perhaps against the following topics as they consider the shape and content of their participation in TG24: </strong>Climate crisis, environment, and sustainability, Indigenous modes of survivance in the aftermath of apocalypse, Black feminist thought, fugitivity, Afrofuturism and Indigenous futurisms, Technology, new media, and digital culture, Anti-Blackness, White supremacy, and White nationalism, Political repression, fascism, and global authoritarianism, Film, media, music, cultural production, and performance, Historical and contemporary activism and organizing, social movements, Incarceration, punishment, and abolition&nbsp; Social institutions of control (i.e., education, foster care, mental health, housing, health care, elder care, workplaces), Health, illness, and wellness, Disability and crip futurity, Displacement, dispossession, and gentrification, Social reproduction, Reproductive justice and reproductive futurity, Citizenship, migration, asylum, and deportation, Comics, manga, and anime, Policing and surveillance, Policy and governance<br><br><strong>Graduate students have three ways to participate in this conference: Virtual workshops for works-in-progress on February 28, 2024 <br>In-person workshops for work-in-progress on February 29, 2024 In-person presentations of finished projects on March 1, 2024 </strong>We welcome a <strong>range of submission formats from graduate students</strong>, including scholarly papers, works in hybrid critical/creative genres (e.g., multimedia projects, performance, experimental forms of academic writing), and film/mixed media. While submissions are not limited to these, some media formats that might work particularly well for this year’s call include short films and videos, soundscapes, digital and alternative archives or cartographies, and interactive works.<br><br><strong>Virtual graduate student participants will workshop works-in-progress in closed online sessions on February 28, 2024. </strong>Each workshop will include four to five graduate students, a faculty moderator, and up to four participants from other workshops, who will read and provide detailed feedback and questions for each submission. All participants will be asked to read or view each other’s submissions in advance. Participants will then convene in a Zoom session with a faculty moderator who will offer constructive feedback and facilitate discussion around each submission.<br>&nbsp;<strong>Graduate student participants who submit for the in-person works-in-progress workshop will attend a closed session at the UCLA campus on February 29, 2024. </strong>Each workshop will include four to five graduate students, a faculty moderator, and up to four participants from other workshops, who will read and provide detailed feedback and questions for each submission. All participants will be asked to read or view each other’s submissions in advance. Participants will then convene in an in-person session with a faculty moderator who will offer constructive feedback and facilitate discussion around each submission.<br>&nbsp;<strong>In-person graduate student participants who submit a proposal for work that will be completed a month before the conference date will give a public presentation of their finished projects at a panel on the UCLA campus on March 1, 2024.</strong> In addition, participants will take advantage of other in-person activities offered at the conference, including speaker-led interactive sessions, a performance and art gallery, and networking opportunities.We hope that the papers and gatherings can help us imagine, perform, and enact the utopia we are musing about. Let us use this platform to not only discuss, but also to actively work towards a more just and equitable future.<br> <br><strong>Deadline for Abstract/Synopsis/Proposal Submissions:<br>Sunday, October 29, 2023, at 11:59PM PDT </strong><br> <br>Questions?<br>Contact Thinking Gender Coordinator Lynette Dixon at <a href="mailto:thinkinggender@women.ucla.edu">thinkinggender@women.ucla.edu</a>.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

There are open seats at this time. The course carries a CD flag.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><em>MAS 374 -</em> <em>Central Americans in the U.S.</em></p><p><em>#39279</em></p><p><em>MWF , 10-11 am</em></p><p><em>MEZ 2.124</em></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/mals/faculty/ndr699"><em>Nicole Ramsey</em></a></p><p><br></p><p><em>Central Americans in the United States form a significant and rapidly growing demographic within the nation’s immigrant and ethnic population. Their presence in contemporary American political discourse often goes unnoticed. This course examines the historical and governing factors shaping the experiences and identities of U.S. Central Americans. These identities are continually evolving and are deeply intertwined with how contemporary discussions surrounding Latina/o, Caribbean, diasporic, and ethnic identities are constructed on</em> <em>a global scale. We will explore the lives, cultures, and experiences of Central Americans residing in the U.S., with our focus encompassing the intricate dynamics of Central American migration, shedding light on both historical and current migration patterns. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach, we will investigate themes such as transnational politics, identity politics, nation-state formation, and the politics of Black and Indigenous communities through the lens of Diaspora Studies, Transnational Studies, and Performance Studies. By the end of the course, students will develop a nuanced understanding of the Central American experience in the United States and will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to engage with Central American histories, cultures, and contemporary issues of Central Americans from a diasporic and transnational perspective.</em></p>]]></description>

For the spring and moving forward, we’ve taken the restriction off that limited it to sophomores-seniors and it is now open to freshman-seniors – there is no application to enroll in the course. Do take note, in the course schedule it still reflects that there is a restriction and will remain this way until Spring 2025, but all students<em>can</em>&nbsp;enroll in this course. The past few semesters my course has not completely filled (capped at 24), so please feel free to encourage students to enroll in this fun 1-credit hour course. Do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions!</p><p><br/></p><p>Spring 2024: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://utdirect.utexas.edu/apps/registrar/course_schedule/20242/29880/">29880</a> T 3:30pm-5:00pm in PAR 304.</p><p><br/></p><p>For more information on LA 101M, click <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/career-services/students/career-courses.html">here</a>.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>The TEXPOP 2024 Program Committee invites your submissions for the TEXPOP 2024 Conference to be held Friday May 3, 2024, at The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin).</strong>&nbsp;This conference is an opportunity to present your population sciences research on current social problems and to connect with researchers working on similar topics. All faculty affiliates of the Population Research Center at UT Austin are invited to submit as are graduate students and postdocs working with faculty affiliates. Based on survey feedback after the first TEXPOP conference, the Program Committee is allocating more time for discussion within and between sessions to facilitate discussion and networking.</p><p><br/></p><p>The Program Committee invites symposia of up to 4 papers organized around a theme, individual presentations that will be grouped by the program committee into thematic sessions, and posters and on any topic within demography and the population sciences. In other words, all presentations will be grouped into sessions of 4 papers; if you would like to organize a session with papers from colleagues, a symposium is a good fit; if you would like to give a presentation but do not want to organize a symposium yourself, you can submit as an individual presentation and the Program Committee will organize papers into sessions. Projects that are in progress, or still at the incubation stage, are encouraged and only abstracts (not full papers) are required. Submissions on methods are also welcome. For all submissions, titles are limited to 60 characters and spaces and abstracts are limited to 250 words.&nbsp;</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Deadline for submissions is December 15<sup>th</sup>, by 5 pm.﻿</strong></p><p>Submissions can be made through the online portal <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001KCgtnw-EbE_4ZqT1qMOB04uQsdOLp7zCp07w6B3-UIlTM7RnTN_8481nijnJA5eqfO_X39ljpDGEFfXoiLGQTYF68XS59JHHxibiBeYrJdM0Zs5uwbWXRaVJ9mivcF1L6mJvgyE6mSNEXVNkVuzVBBuQNaKgiAIWWj_iPn8aGKR9LOBcqAhbZW9aKd57Paj1CzxOKDNwank=&amp;c=tCrDCBqhwxxZOItnLnymZ2dvLtBbdYDKt3GwshDSd_VOSZjp5wOdhQ==&amp;ch=_iAQfgUnmsVRhJoIilGIWBisdnvErj-fK1hZZiX7Wyka756o8vfrsw=="><strong>here</strong></a>.</p><p>This call is available online <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001KCgtnw-EbE_4ZqT1qMOB04uQsdOLp7zCp07w6B3-UIlTM7RnTN_842m6WQmdOuIhPsFRv_6sVedfR1dDBY5bg2rLerUlh6rzZv5UNgq4qkQO9P0FeoZ1iHDwJ2EPnauJX2BQ0hDiHHrYsqD7v3ur-zkc9g-gIzTq&amp;c=tCrDCBqhwxxZOItnLnymZ2dvLtBbdYDKt3GwshDSd_VOSZjp5wOdhQ==&amp;ch=_iAQfgUnmsVRhJoIilGIWBisdnvErj-fK1hZZiX7Wyka756o8vfrsw=="><strong>here</strong></a>.</p><p><br/></p><p>Please email UT PRC Director Liz Gershoff with any questions: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:liz.gershoff@austin.utexas.edu"><strong>liz.gershoff@austin.utexas.edu</strong></a>.</p><p><br/></p><p>We look forward to receiving your submissions!</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>The TEXPOP 2024 Program Committee:</strong></p><p>Matthew Andersson, <em>Baylor University</em></p><p>Jordan Conwell, <em>The University of Texas at Austin</em></p><p>Christy Erving, <em>The University of Texas at Austin</em></p><p>Liz Gershoff, <em>The University of Texas at Austin</em></p><p>Jennifer Glass, <em>The University of Texas at Austin</em></p><p>Wookun Kim, <em>Southern Methodist University</em></p><p>Cristina Morales, <em>The University of Texas at Austin at El Paso</em></p><p>Matthew Painter, <em>The University of North Texas</em></p><p>Xi Pan, <em>Texas State University</em></p><p>Fernando Riosmena, <em>The University of Texas at San Antonio</em></p><p><br/></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001KCgtnw-EbE_4ZqT1qMOB04uQsdOLp7zCp07w6B3-UIlTM7RnTN_8481nijnJA5eqfdXfRqfzxUGfz8S_pmIDjyuWxDU2FBU3ypsbmGsXuGdcSNn8SDnEBU3bTKJpy3FSdct8uxFk_ZVSDwG3NsZ-GMCCYGD3IQcMRnuC0hY8JXZdM5lNW-_8TrrszXQQV5x_cLAtmTBPJAQePkhU6wdpncg9fmyTzJzq&amp;c=tCrDCBqhwxxZOItnLnymZ2dvLtBbdYDKt3GwshDSd_VOSZjp5wOdhQ==&amp;ch=_iAQfgUnmsVRhJoIilGIWBisdnvErj-fK1hZZiX7Wyka756o8vfrsw=="><strong>The Association of Population Centers ArXiv (APCA) Working Paper Series</strong></a>gathers and disseminates original population science research papers.

         <title>Request for Assistance: Women&#39;s Healthcare and Reproductive Needs Survey</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>My name is Carrie, and I am a graduate
student pursuing a Master's in Social Work at the University of Texas at
Austin. I am reaching out to you on behalf of a research project I am
involved in, along with three fellow MSSW students (one of which is a WGS
alumni), which aims to assess the healthcare and reproductive needs of
women-identifying students at UT Austin. In the sake of protecting our own
privacy, we have created a separate gmail.

We believe that the insights and experiences of students are invaluable in
shaping policies and services that cater to their unique needs. To this
end, we have developed a comprehensive survey that we are seeking to
distribute across campus in order to gather diverse perspectives.

We kindly request the graduates at The Center for Women's &amp; Gender Studies'
assistance in sharing our survey with your members. The information
collected will remain entirely confidential and will be used solely for
research purposes. By participating in this survey, your members can
contribute to the enhancement of healthcare and reproductive services
available to women-identifying students on campus.

Survey Link: https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dilBVtSePYze2OO

We would appreciate it if this could be dispersed amongst the graduates at
the CWGS, as this will help us achieve a broader and more representative
range of responses. Your involvement can significantly impact our research
and contribute to positive changes on campus.

If you have any questions or require additional information about the
survey or our research project, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to your
organization's participation in this important initiative. Your support is
instrumental in our quest to improve healthcare and reproductive services
for women-identifying populations at the University of Texas at Austin.</p>]]></description>

I did not request for WGS cross-listing as the course does not have a lot of gender and sexuality theory. However, I would love to have WGS grad students be part of it. Currently, I have 3 open seats. I am attaching the course description here. Would you mind circulating it to your grad students?</p>]]></description>

We invite panels and individual&nbsp;papers, creative writing and artistic posters, and performance pieces from participants in any discipline whose research focuses on women's, gender, sexuality, transgender, and/or queer studies.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Presentation at this conference will count towards the WGS MA Program, the WGS Graduate Portfolio Certificate and/or the WGS Graduate Portfolio Certificate-LGBTQ Studies Track.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>We will consider work previously presented at another conference or produced during coursework, and especially encourage (but do not require) submissions relevant to this year’s theme. Co-authored&nbsp;papers&nbsp;are also permitted.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>We hope you will join us on&nbsp;<strong>Tuesday and Wednesday, March 26-27th 2024.</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>As political upheaval, effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and environmental catastrophes push us to apocalyptic realities, we come together to collectively evoke joy, love, and healing by envisioning queer, feminist, crip futures. We aim to thrive by coming together and dreaming of a better future. &nbsp;</p><p>The attacks on Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion (DEI), reproductive justice, gender and sexuality in schools, and trans-affirming care in Texas and across the United States have further marginalized women and femmes, Black, Latinx, and Indigenous people, queer and trans people, and disabled people. Opportunities&nbsp;for&nbsp;increased access and mutual aid prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic have quickly dissipated as the mainstream U.S. attempts to “return to normal.” Along with wars and environmental destruction across the globe this past year alone, these combined realities have created anxiety and a feeling of impending apocalypse.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>In engaging with critical disability studies, queer feminist crip theory, Black feminisms, Chicana Latina feminisms, Indigenous feminisms, transnational feminisms, Asian and Asian American feminisms, intersectionality,&nbsp;jotería&nbsp;studies,&nbsp;quare&nbsp;theory, queer of color critique, and queer futures we collectively evoke our visions based in joy, love, and healing. How do we as educators, scholars, activists, performers, and artists collectively support our visions in the times of apocalypse?&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br> Some questions to consider further:&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>●      How do we envision Queer Joy, Feminist Joy, Crip Joy existing in times of the apocalypse?&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>●      How do we heal our planet, our institutions, our health, our relationships, ourselves?&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>●      How do we acknowledge and move beyond thinking that institutions can love us back?&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>●      What queer futures, crip futures, feminist futures are we collectively evoking?&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>●      How do we center the epistemologies, methodologies, and frameworks of crips of color, feminists, Black, Latinx, and Indigenous people in our collective visions?&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>●      How do we bring critical disability studies, feminist&nbsp;studies,  ethnic&nbsp;studies, and queer and trans studies to be in conversation with each other?&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>●      How do we re(member) those existing at the intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality and ability?&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://forms.gle/1JdSRWWm86aKcaZE6"><strong>Apply by Friday, January 19th 2024.</strong>&nbsp;</a></p><p>For&nbsp;more information, contact conference organizer: GABRIEL RODRÍGUEZ LEMUS, JR.

No matter your role, there are needs in seeing these identities as a part of larger diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts as well as addressing implicit biases, micro aggressions, and understanding effective responses.</p><p>The coaching cohort opportunity is for any professional who might ever work with students of religious, secular, and spiritual identities (hint, it's everyone) To be better prepared, and to be an advocate for all members of the campus organizational community requires skills and shared learning. So sign up to join a cohort. We'll be in touch with details and work with you and your employer to manage the cost.</p><p>We hope to launch new cohorts starting in December and running into early 2024, so make sure to sign up now.</p><p>Total cost will be $299.00 for this opportunity and fits well into professional development opportunities for individuals.</p><p><br></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=53477282&amp;msgid=227380&amp;act=4B63&amp;c=1714298&amp;pid=1481457&amp;destination=https%3A%2F%2Fconvergencestrategies.wufoo.com%2Fforms%2Fs17babdn129v7jx%2F&amp;cf=21625&amp;v=daf9d94e27028902639e332a6d1ef5c50ed56e89eb72db11e8338131f97458c1">Sign up for a cohort or to learn more today!</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Professional Development Opportunities</p><p>Are you a working professional, maybe even a director of a unit or area who does professional development for your staff or organization? Have you done the anti-racism work that so many have over the last few years and now have opportunities to start thinking about some other areas of focus? We can tailor conversations that help integrate the current efforts of your organization and institution around anti-racism and decolonialism to better include the experiences of those who have been religiously marginalized.</p><p>As well, you can consider hosting a longer one-day training for your institution and your regional colleagues. These trainings are cost-effective in that they include larger audiences and lower cost of participants and organizations. Please reach out to us at <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:j.cody.nielsen@convergencestrategies.org"><strong>j.cody.nielsen@convergencestrategies.org</strong></a></p><p>Maybe it's your first time discussing religious, secular, and spiritual identities, or even that you just haven't "done that" yet. The opportunity to consider a training, a discussion, or simply learn where to start matters more than ever, and we will work with you to make sure that the materials are designed for your areas, units, and organizations.</p>]]></description>

The 2024 Yale Sarah Pettit Doctoral Dissertation Workshop will take place April 29 to May 3, 2024 in New Haven, CT and will focus on interdisciplinary scholarship at the intersection of queer and trans studies.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Fellows will convene for a three-day intensive workshop at Yale University where they will present and engage with each other’s work. They will meet with and receive feedback from the workshop’s two faculty mentors, Professor Juno Richards and Professor Linn Tonstad. Following the three-day workshop, fellows will stay in New Haven for an additional two days to write and to take advantage of Yale University libraries and resources. &nbsp;Selected fellows will receive small stipends and travel funding in addition to room and board for the week of the workshop.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>2024 Pettit Fellowship Description:</strong><br>We welcome applicants from the humanities, social sciences, performing and fine arts, and beyond, to share their emerging scholarship on queer and trans studies. We are interested in applicants whose work challenges disciplinary constraints, arriving at new ways to think across, beyond, or betwixt methodological norms. This framework draws on Christina Sharpe’s call for Black scholars to “become undisciplined,” given the ways that knowledge production and academic legibility so often reinscribe enduring hierarchies of power. How might queer/trans studies attend to this call? What does it mean to undiscipline queer/trans studies in a time when gender and sexuality studies are under attack as disciplines? What forms of collaboration and mentoring does undisciplining queer/trans studies invite? What genres and forms of writing might the undisciplining of queer/trans studies require? How do we think about disciplinarity and writing given the market-driven need to constantly push queer/trans studies towards the new? During the workshop we imagine discussing particular features of fellows’ scholarship as well as thinking through experiences of being relatively illegible in disciplinary terms.&nbsp;</p><p><br><strong>Eligibility:</strong><br>Applicants must be enrolled doctoral candidates who have completed coursework, qualifying exams, and submitted their dissertation prospectus (i.e., ABD status). Students studying or located in all geographical regions are welcome. However, funds from the Pettit Fellowship may not be able to cover the total cost of travel for many students coming from international locations. We encourage students from non-US locations to apply for supplementary travel funding from their home institutions. Doctoral students enrolled at Yale University are ineligible to apply for the Fellowship.<br><br>Students working on projects concerned with a range of genders, gender identities, sexualities, and sexual practices are invited to apply.&nbsp;We seek applicants who can engage scholarship outside their specializations and who are interested to consider the broad consequences of different methods and approaches for scholarly work.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Background:</strong><br>The Sarah Pettit Fund was established in 2003 as a permanent endowment to honor and perpetuate the memory of lesbian activist Sarah Pettit, who earned her BA from Yale in 1988. Pettit died in 2003 in the midst of a high-profile career as a writer, editor, and LGBTQ advocate. She was for many years the editor-in-chief and vice president of&nbsp;OUT Magazine, which she co-founded in 1992. In 1999, she was appointed the senior editor of&nbsp;Newsweek’s Arts and Entertainment section. She served on the advisory board of the New York Lesbian and Gay Anti-Violence Project.<br><br>From 2006 to 2014, the Sarah Pettit Fellowship was run as a biennial fellowship providing a year of support to a graduate student, from an institution other than Yale, who was writing a dissertation in LGBT Studies, with lesbian studies as its focus. From 2016 onwards, the format changed to a biennial dissertation-writing workshop for scholars working on select themes in lesbian studies.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Applications:</strong><br>Applications are due February 16, 2024, and should include:</p><ul><li><p>Cover letter that describes your dissertation and particular interest in this fellowship</p></li><li><p>One-page chapter or topic proposal for presentation and discussion at the workshop</p></li><li><p>Curriculum vitae</p></li><li><p>Letter of support from the dissertation advisor and the name of two additional references</p></li></ul><p><br>Application and instructions for submission are at <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://lgbts.yale.edu/sarah-pettit-doctoral-fellowship-application">http://lgbts.yale.edu/sarah-pettit-doctoral-fellowship-application</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Questions about the program may be directed to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:lgbts@yale.edu">lgbts@yale.edu</a>. We expect notifications to go out by mid-March</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Mark your calendars: February E3W After Hours is this&nbsp;<strong>Thursday, February 22 at 6:30 PM</strong>. Hannah &amp; IB Hopkins are hosting at 3003 Dancy Street. Whether you're already working with the Sequels Symposium or the Review or you just want to learn more and hang out with a lovely group of colleagues, this is a great meeting to attend.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Please spread the word&nbsp;</strong>to any friends and fellow grad students who might be interested in working with E3W and attending E3W&nbsp;After&nbsp;Hours. All are welcome!&nbsp;<br><br>More about E3W: The Ethnic and Third World (E3W) Collective is an organization&nbsp;of&nbsp;graduate students across disciplines who study the literatures and cultural production&nbsp;of&nbsp;the Global South. Founded in 1986, the collective is committed to amplifying the voices and intellectual work&nbsp;of&nbsp;those historically marginalized within the academy; E3W is therefore a space for critical dialogues across fields including critical race and ethnic studies, Indigenous, postcolonial, gender and sexuality, and/or disability studies. We also seek to provide a community&nbsp;of&nbsp;support and solidarity within which UT graduate students can share experiences&nbsp;of&nbsp;research, teaching, and other intellectual labor. We produce two signature projects each spring: the&nbsp;<em>E3W Review&nbsp;of&nbsp;Books</em>&nbsp;and the Sequels Symposium, both&nbsp;of&nbsp;which amplify graduate student scholarship.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Bassam Sidiki (Assistant Professor of English, University of Texas at Austin) will give a talk titled "The Cripistemology of a Closet" as part of the Spring 2024 South Asia Seminar Series. The seminar theme is Queer Authorship: Coming of Age in South Asia, convened by Akbar Hyder (Asian Studies, UT Austin) and Shiv Ganesh (Communication Studies, UT Austin). All seminars take place on Thursdays in the Meyerson Conference Room (WCH 4.118) from 3:30 to 5:00 pm Central Time, with a reception beginning at 3 pm.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This event is free and open to the UT and general public.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Abstract</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In this talk, Sidiki will read excerpts from his hybrid memoir in progress, Karachi, Kalamazoo, which chronicles his migration to the United States from Pakistan as a teenager, his diagnosis with leukemia, and coming to terms with queer identity. Deconstructing the trope of the “closet” by placing it in a South Asian “crip” milieu, he triangulates the theoretical work already undertaken about South Asian queerness with histories and presents of disability. With a nod to Eve Sedgwick, he asks: how could one think about not just an “epistemology of the closet” but what disability studies scholars have called “cripistemology”?</p>]]></description>

         <title>&quot;Feeding the Resistance:&quot; March 5, 3pm</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>“Feeding the Resistance: Feminist Food Rhetorics in the 20<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;Century”</p><p>Abby&nbsp;Dubisar</p><p>Big XII Faculty Fellow&nbsp;and Associate Professor of English at Iowa State University</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Tuesday, March 5, 3:00pm</p><p>RLP 1.302C (Glickman Conference Center)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Activists use cookbooks to promote civic and political action, in addition to offering recipes. As Dr.&nbsp;Dubisar&nbsp;shows in this talk, such cookbooks subvert the genre expectations for a cookbook to offer rhetorical instruction and persuade readers to engage in social justice. Books such as Julia Turshen’s&nbsp;<em>Feed the Resistance: Recipes and Ideas for Getting Involved&nbsp;</em>(2017),&nbsp;<em>The Resistance Cookbook: Nasty Women and Bad Hombres in the Kitchen</em>&nbsp;(2017) by Action Together Massachusetts, and Leela Cyd’s&nbsp;<em>Cooking Up Trouble: Recipes to Nourish Women</em>&nbsp;(2017) are all artifacts of the&nbsp;critical response to U.S. politics and policies following the 2016 US election. The fact that the authors of these cookbooks chose a cookbook as the vehicle for their activism situates them in a long, but little studied, line of rhetors who combine cookery with activism in a cookbook. This talk thus engages such research questions as: What rhetorical strategies do 21<sup>st</sup>-century cookbooks use to persuade audiences to participate in civic action? How do cookbooks, as a feminized genre, offer activists platforms to express their political concerns related to gender? In what ways do such cookbooks both politicize and depoliticize food itself, using food as a vehicle for communication?</p>]]></description>

         <title>Deadline extended - Call for Abstracts: Enduring Social Movements and Collective Action Conference</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Conference: Enduring Social Movements and Collective Action</p><p>Call for Abstracts</p><p>April 4th, 2025</p><p>Department of Sociology at UT Austin</p><p> </p><p>Organized jointly by the Power History and Society (PHS) Working Group and the Urban Ethnography Lab in the Department of Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin.</p><p> </p><p>Some social movements and collective actions persist over time. Others are short lived. This conference focuses on the former. We aim to examine examples of social movements and collective action that have endured, despite changing resources and political circumstances. We invite the exploration of diverse organizational compositions of collective phenomenon, ranging from persistent social movements to enduring grassroots mobilization to community initiatives or projects that survive after mass protest dies down. We propose to examine strategies and conditions that allow movements or collective initiatives to maintain a public presence and sustain activities in diverse locations and time periods. Often, the study of social movements has focused on short-term wins or losses, rather than on the ability to mobilize over the long run. The conference moves the inquiry to the consideration of issues that are central to the development and potential effectiveness of social movements and collective organizing in relation to their outcomes and impacts over the long-term. The significance and urgency of this task is made evermore apparent by how collective action has shaped local, national and transnational politics over the last few years. We welcome papers that speak to how sociologists are studying enduring social movements and collective action in ways that attend to their unique capacity to last within particular geopolitical locations. In raising little studied yet critically important questions and offering a comparative, longitudinal perspective, this conference opens new venues for research on social movements and collective action.</p><p> </p><p>Potential themes/topics:</p><p>·  Movement histories, languages, symbols, and traditions</p><p>·  Relationships, networks, collective identities, and generations</p><p>·   How geopolitical locations and contexts enable/constraint persistent politics</p><p>·  Organizational composition of persistent social movements or community initiatives</p><p>·  Enduring community-centric strategies</p><p>·  Scale and scope of organizing objectives</p><p>·  Feminist and queer approaches to collective action</p><p>·  How to study enduring social movements (methodologically speaking)</p><p> </p><p>Submissions are due by email on October 31st. We will aim to notify applicants by November 30th. Please send an abstract of your planned contribution (max. 500 words) together with a short bio (100-150 words) to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:dorothyrau@utexas.edu">dorothyrau@utexas.edu</a>. This conference will be paper optional.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Dear Colleagues,&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I hope the start to your fall semester has been safe and well. My name is Lily Mengesha and I serve as Director of Graduate Study for<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://asegrad.tufts.edu/program/theatre-and-performance-studies-doctorate">&nbsp;Tufts PhD program in Theatre and Performance Studies</a>. We are now accepting applications for a Fall 2025 cohort and I could use your help.&nbsp;<strong>Could you reach out to your Women’s, Gender and Sexuality studies students interested in a humanities PhD and invite them to consider Tufts?</strong>&nbsp;Our application deadline is&nbsp;<strong>Dec 1, 2024.</strong></p><p>The Theatre and Performance Studies PhD curriculum is especially strong in supporting research focused on archival materials, 20<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;century Black performance, ethnography, globalization, gender and sexuality studies, religion, race, and Indigeneity in the Americas. Many of our students come from interdisciplinary backgrounds in American studies, English, Theatre studies, History, Gender/Sexuality studies, Sociology, Anthropology, and Art History.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In Fall 2025, we will be joined by two new fabulous graduate faculty members: Black performance studies historian, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://artsci.washu.edu/faculty-staff/paige-mcginley">Paige McGinley</a>, and theatre architecture historian and philosopher, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://artsci.washu.edu/faculty-staff/pannill-camp">Pannill Camp</a>. We are so thrilled to have Paige and Pannill join the department. Students interested in 20<sup>th</sup> century Black performance, public humanities, theatre architecture and histography will garner rich insights from their teaching and scholarship.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My colleagues and I incorporate a number of production opportunities as well as facilitate engagement with arts and arts advocacy organizations in greater Boston. Our current cohort features students working as playwrights, directors, lighting designers, dramaturgs, and nightlife organizers. These students are simultaneously completing MA and PhD projects about the history of unionization and performance tactics, HIV/AIDS activism, queer Asian diasporic ancestral knowledges, Jewish actresses on the Indian screen, and Black and Indigenous feminist performances.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While in the program, students have the opportunity to train for a variety of career paths. They teach their own courses and we train scholar-artists who find employment and excel in a variety of colleges and universities across the United States. We are especially proud to have developed a signature “Pedagogy and Professional Development” seminar that prepares students to imagine careers in and beyond the university.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Best of all, each of the qualified PhD students admitted into the program receives five years of fellowships and teaching assistantships with an annual stipend of $34,500, secured through the graduate student union collective bargaining agreement. In addition, Tufts offers dissertation fellowships, student health insurance, annual travel support, and tuition remission for a total financial package valued at over $250,000.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There is so much more I could say about our fabulous program and the amenities available at Tufts and in the greater Boston area. I am happy to speak with any interested students via phone or zoom; they can reach out to me at&nbsp;<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:lilian.mengesha@tufts.edu">lilian.mengesha@tufts.edu</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I look forward to hearing more about your brilliant students with the hope that they might consider applying to Tufts’ PhD in Theatre and Performance Studies.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Warmly,</p><p>Lily Mengesha</p><p>--</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lilian Mengesha, PhD</p><p>(she/they)</p><p>Assistant Professor</p><p>Department of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies</p><p>Director of Graduate Study, AY 2024-25&nbsp;</p><p>Affiliate Faculty, Department of Studies in Race, Colonialism, and Diaspora&nbsp;</p><p>Tufts University</p>]]></description>

         <title> Lunch with &quot;Reproduction Wars&quot; Researchers: Tuesday, Oct. 15</title>
         <author>cwgs</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Dear WGS Community,</p><p> </p><p>I am writing to invite you to an American Studies departmental lunch next Tuesday, October 15th at 12:30 pm in BUR 436A.</p><p> </p><p>At this event we will meet and learn about the research of our affiliate faculty visiting from the University of Turku, Finland: Dr. Benita Heiskanen (PI), Dr. Niko Heikkilä, Dr. Pekka M. Kolehmainen and PhD candidates Mila Seppälä and Jaakko Dickman. The team is examining the respatialization of women’s bodily rights post-Dobbs within the U.S.-Mexico transborder region. I have included a fuller description of their project below.</p><p> </p><p>If you are able to attend this lunch please RSVP to Stephanie Kaufman (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:Stephanie.Kaufman@austin.utexas.edu">Stephanie.Kaufman@austin.utexas.edu</a>) no later than this Friday, October 11th so that she can plan accordingly. I have also attached fliers in English and Spanish advertising the study and seeking participation in case you have any thoughts on where to get respondents to them.</p><p> </p><p>Hope to see y’all there next Tuesday!</p><p> </p><p>Best wishes,</p><p>Lauren</p><p> </p><p>“Reproduction Wars: Imaginaries and Mobilizations in the US-Mexico Transborder Region”</p><p> </p><p>The REPRO project examines the “Reproduction Wars” in the United States after the constitutional right to abortion was overturned in June 2022, resulting in a respatialization of women’s bodily rights, contested within progressive and reactionary politics of each state. The project probes the topic through four specific lenses: 1) law as lived experience; 2) rhetorical imaginaries; 3) transborder mobilities; and 4) performative practices within the U.S.-Mexico transborder region.</p><p> </p><p>With this approach, the study asks: How are anti-abortion laws explained and analyzed in media, society, and firsthand experiences? What are the sites and modus operandi through which the transborder abortion networks are created and used on both sides of the border? What are the conceptual measures through which anti-abortion organizations are managed and operated? What are the mechanisms and tools with which the Reproduction Wars are constructed, performed, and visualized?</p><p> </p><p>Contextualized within the theoretical frameworks of legal consciousness studies and feminist geography, the project focuses on both the gendered imaginaries through which the Reproduction Wars are contested and the actual mobilizations that shape women’s maneuvering within federal-local-transborder relations. In this way, the project offers 1) original data for understanding the de facto ramifications that law has on women’s lives; 2) a specific linkage between societal and cultural analysis of the topic; and 3) a reexamination of the geographic mobility of reproductive justice that has relevance not just in the United States and Mexico, but also on global discussions on gendered conceptualization of healthcare rights.</p><p> </p><p>-- </p><p>Lauren Jae Gutterman (she/her)</p><p>Associate Professor and Chair, American Studies Department</p><p>Associate Professor, Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies Department</p><p>University of Texas at Austin</p><p>Author, Her Neighbor's Wife: A History of Lesbian Desire Within Marriage (U Penn 2020)</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello colleagues,</p><p>I am excited to share that I am starting a new queer film production course offered for the first time this upcoming spring 2025 which meets T-Th 11am - 2pm. See below for details. </p><p>RTF classes are typically for majors only, but on occasion if there's room I can take non-majors too, including grad students!</p><p>RTF 366K    QUEER MEDIA PRODUCTION • PJ RAVAL</p><p>From DIY pixelvision videos to campy drag melodramas, queer artists have long embraced filmmaking as a form of imaginative expression, despite limited resources and sometimes limited training. Often reacting to turbulent times, these queer films have introduced audiences to new narratives, new characters, and new concepts of mediamaking. This course will embrace queerness as an artistic sensibility, mode of artmaking, and a form of creative boundary pushing that will encourage students to collaborate in producing work rooted in the values of community action, unapologetic authenticity, and a bold visionary excitement. Students are encouraged to have previously completed one of the following RTF courses: Queer Media Studies, Queer TV, Gender and Media, Global Trans Media and/or Queer Art &amp; Activism. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello,</p><p> </p><p>You are invited to participate in a research project about the late-in-life autism identification process (please note: a formal autism diagnosis is NOT required for participation). Please review the information provided below and follow the link at the bottom of this email if you’re interested in participating.</p><p>What is the study about and why am I doing it? </p><p>The purpose of the study is to better understand the experiences of late-identified Autistic adults. I am particularly interested in understanding what made learning you were autistic and talking with others about that process more or less difficult. I also want to know more about the role autistic masking has played in your life and in these specific conversations. My goal is to develop better resources to support late-identified Autistic adults as they grapple with their late identification.</p><p> </p><p>Who am I?</p><p>I am a late-identified Autistic Doctoral Candidate at the University of Texas at Austin and this project is the focus of my dissertation research. I believe in the value of participatory research and I am working with a community advisory board (CAB) of late-identified Autistic adults to complete this project while ensuring a diverse range of Autistic voices and experiences are represented.</p><p>Your participation is entirely voluntary, but I hope you will choose to be part of this project!</p><p> </p><p>For more information on the study, please follow this link to get started. If after reviewing additional study details you would like to participate, you will be able to provide consent, complete the online survey, and schedule an interview time.</p><p>If you would like to share this research opportunity with others you believe may be interested and eligible, please feel free to share this message with them.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Rethinking Health and Well-being: The Politics of Collective Care and Body Sovereignty   </p><p>✨32nd Annual Emerging Scholarship in Women's and Gender Studies Graduate Student Conference, at The University of Texas at Austin.✨</p><p>March 25-26th, 2025</p><p>Call for Papers (Google Form)</p><p>The Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies annual conference offers graduate students the opportunity to share their research with students and faculty, The University of Texas at Austin community, and WGSS community partners. </p><p>We hope you will join us on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 25-26th, 2025.</p><p>Rethinking Health and Well-being: The Politics of Collective Care and Body Sovereignty   </p><p>The deep and persistent racial and cisnormative disparities in health have long been condemned by grassroots movements, scholars, and other activists. In the U.S., Black women in the U.S. are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women (CDC), with reports of under diagnosis, obstetric and medical violence. Transgender and non-binary individuals, especially Black and Latinx trans people, face staggering barriers to healthcare, including fear of discrimination, mistreatment and lack of support from medical providers on trans and gender-affirming care, to name a few.</p><p>However, we know that healthcare and well-being disparities do not exist in a vacuum. Healthcare and well-being (or lack thereof) are deeply embedded within broader systems of racism, sexism, and cisnormativity, which subject marginalized communities to daily violence—both physical and psychological, and in turn, poorer health outcomes. Historically, systems of criminalization and incarceration have compounded these harms, linking premature death and prolonged suffering to structures that perpetuate cycles of oppression.</p><p>Recent legal and political shifts have further entrenched these disparities. The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the erosion of the constitutional right to abortion has profoundly undermined bodily autonomy of pregnant individuals. Simultaneously, state-level legislation, particularly in Texas, has escalated attacks on gender-affirming care, further marginalizing trans and gender-diverse communities from medically necessary assistance from insurers. </p><p>Despite these challenges, collective care and well-being remain at the heart of feminist and anti-racist goals, which envisions health as a form of social justice. These practices open up critical conversations around wellness and health justice. As a case in point, we are particularly focused on emancipatory practices—social movements’ resistance, activism, art, and media production—that challenge oppressive systems, medical and state violence and reimagine health as a collective goal.  More specifically, we invite participants to reimagine well-being and frame it as a goal rooted in interconnectedness, body sovereignty, and collective healing.</p><p>As bell hooks (1999) reminds us in All About Love, "Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.". </p><p>We invite submissions that address the following questions:</p><p>How can feminist practices reshape our understanding of health and well-being? </p><p>How have feminist and anti-racist movements questioned medical and structural violence across time and enacted collective care?</p><p>What strategies can dismantle harmful systems to women of color and gender minorities’ well-being?</p><p>How can poetics, media, and art promote healing and wellness?</p><p>How can grassroots movements and collective care bridge healthcare gaps for marginalized communities?</p><p>What role does body sovereignty play in resisting gendered and racialized violence in healthcare?</p><p>We invite panels and individual, co-authored papers, creative writing and artistic posters, media production, and performance pieces from participants in any discipline whose research focuses on women's, gender, sexuality, transgender, and/or queer studies. Presentation at this conference will count towards the WGS MA Program, the WGS Graduate Portfolio Certificate and/or the WGS Graduate Portfolio Certificate-LGBTQ Studies Track.</p><p>We will consider work previously presented at another conference or produced during coursework, and especially encourage (but do not require) submissions relevant to this year’s theme. Co-authored papers are also permitted.</p><p>Conferences proposals are due by Friday, January 24th 2025.</p><p>Call for Papers (Google Form)</p><p>For more information, contact conference organizer: Brenda Marques, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:brendamarques@utexas.edu">brendamarques@utexas.edu</a></p><p><br></p>]]></description>
