Tales of Clamor
2019-02-01 08:00 - 2019-03-03 17:00
TALES OF CLAMOR is a 7-person play centering around two artists debating cultural versus institutionalized silence. Utilizing ensemble storytelling, circus arts and archival footage from the 1981 Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians hearings— when the Japanese American community broke their silence for the first time in nearly 40 years after WWII mass incarceration of Japanese Americans— this piece explores what it means to show up for each other, speak out, and generate the collective clamor necessary for social change.

TIFFANY LYTLE / JOY ALPUERTO RITTER – FOR HER
2018-11-30 20:30 - 22:00 | Highways Performance Space, 1651 18th St., Santa Monica, CA, 90404, United States
An evening of two performances that explore women’s lives: Tiffany Lytle Qnoum Kaun Khmer/I am a Cambodia Child and Joy Alpuerto Ritter’s Babae. Drawing movement and musical influences from contemporary dance, hip hop fusion, pop music, jazz, and Southeast Asian folk and traditional dance performance and stories, Lytle and Ritter both dynamically present Southeast Asian women in the diaspora in their solo pieces.
As the child of a Cambodian refugee raised in multiple worlds that make up Cambodiatown of Long Beach/San Pedro, Tiffany Lytle sonically explores refugee experiences and Cambodian diasporic lives in Qnoum Kaun Khmer/I am a Cambodian Child. With a team of Los Angeles’ best pop/jazz musicians, Lytle’s musical performance reimagines pop music as an expression of displacement that is the defining state of living for so many around the world at this time.
Joy Alpuerto-Ritter was born in Los Angeles, and raised in Berlin, Germany. In her solo piece Babae (the word for woman in Filipino), she reinterprets expressionist modern dance pioneer Mary Wigman’s Hexentanz (English translation from German—Witch Dance) through folk and traditional dances of the Philippines that she grew up learning and performing in the diaspora. Babae reorients a classic that breaks open the power of women.

Beyond Zip Codes: Unpacking the Place-Health Nexus (Paul Ong, PhD)
2018-11-29 12:30 - 13:30 | UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs Room 2355, 337 Charles E Young Drive East, Los Angeles, CA, 90024, United States
DESCRIPTION
A joint endeavor hosted by the UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate’s Housing as Health Care Initiative, the UCLA Center for Neighborhood Knowledge, the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and the UCLA Center for Occupational and Environmental Health
“Beyond Zip Codes: Unpacking the Place-Health Nexus”presented by: Paul Ong, PhD (Research Professor and Director of the UCLA Center for Neighborhood Knowledge)
Place matters, as captured by the statement that asserts that a person’s zip code is a better predictor of health status than the person’s DNA. Social determinants of health are intertwined with the urban spatial structure, residential patterns and the geography of opportunities. This talk explores underlying causal paths that link place characteristics, location accessibility and transportation resources to health outcomes and systematic disparities.

Eagle and the Condor Liberation Front-Third World College
2018-11-15 18:00 - 21:00 | Haines Hall A82, Los Angeles, CA, United States
Students, On behalf of the Eagle and the Condor Liberation Front, a political inter-tribal organization at UCLA, we invite you to attend a plática/conversation on the concept of the Third World College and how students might organize to participate, sustain, and build a decolonizing university. We as an Indigenous organization do not believe that an institution like UCLA will ever be decolonized nor fully work in favor of the community. As students, it is our imperative that we create and transform those tools the university holds in order to do that decolonizing work. In the spirit of the Third World College, we hope to create temporal yet persevering projects that disrupt settler colonialism acting through the university. We will only center Students of Color and Indigenous student voices. Please join us on November 15th, 2018 at 6 PM in Haines A82.

Deadline to register November 5, Monday
Transnational populations are not merely the products of migration policies between two states.
Transnational orientation and activities reflect the impact of geopolitical issues, not the least being the influence of events – such as the 9/11 attacks–on the host country’s immigration policy.
In the past 20 years, mobilizations for progressive social change within the Korean American community have occurred. Mobilizations reflecting both conservative and progressive tendencies have been dealing with the
Korean peninsula – suddenly in the shadow of shifting militarist relations between the heads of state of North Korea and the U.S.
Our conference will share and discuss various efforts of Korean American civic engagement and local-level organizing: transnational activism, community organizing, local level politics, leadership, and cultural politics. We will analyze the impact of shifting geopolitics on the activism of Korean Americans. Moreover, we will examine the predicament of activists at the local level who are involved in global justice or geopolitical issues.

Fall Cleaning? Donate to the Gender Gap Clothing Drive
2018-11-05 - 2018-11-09
The UCLA Gender Gap Clothing Drive is an initiative to provide gender-affirming clothing to our students, particularly those who may not have the means to purchase clothing reflective of their gender identity/expression. Gender-affirming professional clothing is also a large concern for transgender and gender-nonconforming students as they begin to apply for internships and full-time positions.

I invite you to support our students by donating any clothing items in good condition, particularly professional attire. Following the drive we will be hosting a clothing exchange where trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming students can select clothing that matches their identities. This will happen from November 12th to November 14th.

We are collecting donations from November 5th-November 9th at the LGBT Campus Resource Center. Please consider taking a few moments over the weekend to peruse your closets and help us in supporting students.

Thank you for your continued support of trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming students.
