(Public Symposium)
Friday, April 1, 2005
2:00 - 4:00 pm
370 Dwinelle Hall
University of California, Berkeley
Speakers:
Nerissa Balce, Asst Professor of Comparative Literature, UMass-Amherst
Lucy Burns, Asst Professor of World Arts and Cultures, UCLA
Richard Chu, Asst Professor of History, UMass-Amherst
Peter Chua, Asst Professor of Sociology, San Jose State University
Robyn Rodriguez, Asst Professor of Sociology, Rutgers University
Jeffrey Santa Ana, Asst Professor of English and American Studies, Mount
Holyoke College
Rowena Tomaneng, Assoc Professor of English, De Anza College
The symposium will focus on a particular space of crisis and resistance in
the era of what the panelists call "Homeland Security racism," namely the
deportation of U.S. Filipinos and its linkages with the "War on Terror" as
a project of U.S. Empire. The panelists will examine the urgent concerns
of surveillance culture around the globe, racial profiling, sexual
discrimination, detention and deportation, and wars in the Middle East,
contextualizing Filipino deportation in the larger phenomenon of the U.S.
government attacking its own immigrant Asian, Latino and Middle Eastern
communities since September 11, 2001. The symposium will also include
discussion about the political response of communities under assault by
Homeland Security racism through organizing, coalition-building, and
protest actions. The panelists, who are members of the Critical Filipina/o
Studies Collective, a U.S.-based national network of community-engaged
scholars, professors, and educators, will expand on the notion of
"Homeland Security racism," which they have partly articulated in their
recently published report, "Resisting Homeland Security: Organizing
against Unjust Removals of U.S. Filipinos," accessible at
http://www2.sjsu.edu/depts/sociology/living/removal.html
Organized and sponsored by: UCB Center for Race and Gender and UCB Critical Filipina/o Studies Working Group
Co-sponsored by:
UCB Center for Southeast Asia Studies
UCB Department of Comparative Ethnic Studies
UCB Center for the Study of Sexual Culture
and UCB Department of Gender and Women's Studies
