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: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: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.
