SUMMARY:Workshop for UCLA AASD Fulbright Scholar Nguyễn Thị Minh
DESCRIPTION:During this workshop\, participants will give feedback on Nguyễn Thị Minh’s paper entitled “Women’s Love in Antigone by Sophocles and The Tale of Kiều by Nguyễn Du.” The paper will be circulated one week in advance. Engaging feminist scholarship\, the paper critiques how Antigone has previously been read within a Eurocentric frame and masculine model of subjectivity while Kiều has been positioned within a male-centered interpretive history in both Vietnam and the US. While Antigone is seen as “the hope” of feminism (Bonnie Honig 2013\, 36) and “the occasion for a new field of human” (Judith Butler 2000\, 82)\, Kiều’s story is viewed as conveying “a message of hope” for both the individual and the country of Vietnam (Huynh Sanh Thong 1983). Drawing on feminist philosophical reflections on love and utilizing the perspectives of women thinkers such as Maria Lugones\, bell hooks\, and Trinh Thi Minh-ha\, the paper analyzes the possibilities of women’s love evoked by the figures of Kiều and Antigone in the two works. Highlighting the experiences of harmonious subjects who are moving beyond the private realm into the public sphere\, these works offer new potentials for resistance and reflections on love. From this\, the paper proposes a direction towards a “harmonious feminism” as an alternative projection for the future of feminism. \n\nNguyễn Thị Minh\, a Fulbright research scholar in the Asian American Studies Department\, UCLA\, is a tenured lecturer in the Faculty of Linguistics and Literature Studies\, Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. Her main research interests are comparative literature\, film adaptation\, gender studies\, and semiotics. She is at the forefront of initiatives to cultivate Gender Studies in Vietnam\, and to that end has worked with the Vietnam’s Women Publishing House to build the “Women’s Book: Gender and Development” series. This series critically addresses women’s history and gender inequities\, advancing a feminist agenda amidst Vietnam’s current socioeconomic development. She is also a translator\, co-translator\, and editor of many classical book translations in philosophy\, gender\, and cultural studies. She translated Between Past and Future by Hannah Arendt (Knowledge Publishing House\, 2020); History of Philosophy\, Volume 2 by Johannes Hirschberger (co-translation\, Knowledge Publishing House\, 2020); Antigone’s Claim by Judith Butler (Vietnam Women’s Publishing House\, 2021); A History of the Breast by Marilyn Yalom (Vietnam Women’s Publishing House\, 2022); and Key Concepts in Gender Studies by Jane Pilcher and Imelda Whelehan (Vietnam Women’s Publishing House\, 2022). She has also edited and annotated Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity by Judith Butler (Vietnam Women’s Publishing House\, 2022). She won the Best Translated Book Award in Vietnam in 2022 for Between Past and Future by Hannah Arendt. Regarding community services\, she is the co-founder of The Ladder\, a community learning space where academic knowledge is shared and made more accessible for everyone\, especially the youth in Vietnam.

SUMMARY:Book Talk - "Koreatown\, Los Angeles: Immigration\, Race\, and the 'American Dream'"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Wed\, May 10th for this book talk on “Koreatown\, Los Angeles: Immigration\, Race\, and the ‘American Dream.'” \n  \nInformation from the flyer: \n“Beginning with the early development of LA’s Koreatown and culminating with the 1992 Los Angeles riots and their aftermath\, Lee demonstrates how Korean Americans’ lives were shaped by patters of racial segregation and urban poverty\, and legacies of anti-Asian racism and orientalism. Koreatown\, Los Angeles tells the story of an American ethnic community often equated with socioeconomic achievement and assimilation\, but whose experiences as racial minorities and immigrant outsiders illuminate key economic and cultural developments in the United States since 1965.”

SUMMARY:Nothing Follows: A Poetry Reading and Conversation with Dr. Lan Duong
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lan Duong will read from Nothing Follows\, a collection of poetry that traces her family’s arrival to the U.S. in 1975. It narrates their resettlement as they move from Pennsylvania to California during Silicon Valley’s high-tech boom. With each city and street that the poems crisscross\, the girl and those around her experience racism\, objectification\, and sexual violence. In marking the places that she has been\, her stories map out the coordinates of a refugee girlhood\, one that is spiked with brutality\, joy\, and longing all the same. Intermixing memoir and poetry\, Nothing Follows is an accounting of everything that follows in the wake of war. UCLA Bookstore will sell books at the event. \nLan Duong is Associate Professor in Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Southern California. Her poetry has appeared in the journals Oberon and Spoon River Review as well as the anthologies Watermark: Vietnamese American Poetry and Prose and Tilting the Continent: Southeast Asian American Writing. Her debut collection of poetry\, Nothing Follows\, is published by Texas Tech UP.

SUMMARY:Never Forget: Filipinx Americans and the Anti-Martial Law Movement: A roundtable session for the 2023 Asian American Studies Conference
DESCRIPTION:Throughout Ferdinand Marcos’s 21-year reign over the Philippines\, resistance movements took shape\, continued\, and developed alongside and against the regime. While these movements formed in opposition to the brutality of Marcos’s rule (tortures\, disappearances\, and killings; political corruption and crony capitalism; censorship of the press; support for and advancement of imperialist programs)\, they also functioned as a network of political organizing that struggled against the long legacy of colonialism and racial capitalism. \nThis roundtable focuses on understanding the anti-martial law movements to discuss historical revisionism\, knowledge formation\, and Filipinx American political organizing. This session also introduces an upcoming online exhibit of rare posters from the transnational movement against Marcos’s martial law\, part of the ongoing archival process led by the Asian American Studies Center at UCLA. The collection of posters and materials were collected throughout the 1970s and 1980s as part of anti-martial law political work in Los Angeles and California and transnationally in the Philippines. \nRoundtable members include Xenia Tupas (Human rights activist and Migrante Los Angeles)\, Cathy Miraballes (Migrante Los Angeles)\, Joy Sales (Cal State LA\, Malaya Movement Los Angeles)\, Josen Diaz (University of San Diego)\, with Karen Umemoto (Asian American Studies Center\, UCLA). Moderated by Lucy Burns (UCLA).

SUMMARY:U.S. Settler Militarism and CHamoru Survival in Guåhan
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Asian American Studies Department will be hosting our second Pacific Islander Studies Research Talk by Dr. Alfred Flores:\n\n\nIn 1944 the US military began occupying privately owned land throughout Guåhan as part of its reinvasion strategy. The US government facilitated this process through the creation of the Land and Claims Commission (GLCC)\, which accelerated and legitimated the military’s condemning of these lands during World War II and the Cold War. Together\, the GLCC\, the “liberation” of Guåhan narrative\, and the Organic Act of 1950 enabled a process of US settler militarism that resulted in the US military’s occupation of approximately 50% of all land on the island in the early 1950s. Despite these draconian policies\, CHamoru land stewardship persisted through the låncho (ranch) and other forms of survival that challenged US military occupation. \nAlfred Peredo Flores is an assistant professor in the Intercollegiate Department of Asian American Studies at Harvey Mudd College. He received his Ph.D. in History from UCLA\, his M.A. and B.A. degrees in Public History and History from UCR\, and an A.A. degree in Liberal Arts from College of the Desert. His research and teaching focuses on Pacific Islander Studies with an emphasis in diaspora\, indigeneity\, labor\, militarization\, oral history\, and settler colonialism in Micronesia. Dr. Flores’ research has appeared in Amerasia Journal\, American Quarterly\, Critical Ethic Studies Journal\, Brill\, and Oxford University Press. His forthcoming book titled\, Tip of the Spear: Land\, Labor\, and US Settler Militarism in Guåhan\, 1944-1962 (Cornell University Press)\, will be released in September 2023.
