This talk explores how racism influences the formation of community organizations in racialized groups. Drawing on DuBois's concepts of double consciousness and racialization, it presents a model to explain how 19th and early 20th century Chinese communities in the U.S. built complex, politically active organizational networks. The case highlights key stages in the development of organizational life under systemic racism. This is an Honors Event. See tags below for categories. #UHLevent11169

Join us for a thought-provoking talk by Professor Simon Yamawaki Shachter, Assistant Professor of Sociology Topic: Double-Conscious Formation of Organizational Life: Chinese Civil Society Organizations in the U.S., 1849–1911 This colloquium will explore how racism influences the formation and development of organizational life in racialized communities. Professor Shachter draws from W.E.B. DuBois's theories of double consciousness and racialization, presenting a processual model that sheds light on the early growth of Chinese civil society organizations in the U.S. His analysis highlights how marginalized communities formed complex, politically active organizational networks in the face of systemic racism. All are welcome to attend!

Graduate students are continuously advised to join professional associations. Yet besides presenting their research and networking, graduate departments do not always teach their students how to maximize their experience with professional associations. As someone who was not a member of the International Studies Association (ISA) during my PhD, but currently works as ISA's Director of Professional Development, Sarah Dorr will share what she now knows about ISA and what she wishes she had known during her studies. She will also talk about opportunities for Early Career Scholars (travel grants, Pay it Forward, Early Career Workshops, Dissertation Completion Fellowship), Virtual Programming, the various sections, caucuses and regions, that can be joined, and about ISA's partnership with the UN, which helps facilitate access to UN grounds and events. Mary Hartford will discuss ISA's Convention cycle and how to get involved in its regional conferences. PRESENTERS: Sarah Dorr (ISA, Director of Professional Development, University of Connecticut) and Mary Hartford (ISA, Organizational Systems Specialist, University of Connecticut).

Harmony of Nature II: Waves is an international and experimental collaboration that connects audiences with nature by transforming environmental data into classical music. The exhibition is a multimedia experience of musical compositions, video, and documentary objects. Musical compositions of wavelike gestures were derived from tide gauge observations of sea level rise along the coast of the Long Island Sound, buoy measurements of the propagation of a tsunami across the Pacific Ocean, and mathematical expressions. The specific datasets chosen are direct observations, rather than model projections, and the music expresses the nuances of the flow of nature. Harmony of Nature II: Waves emphasizes the portrayal of physical phenomenon as a generative force, to create music that is both artistically and scientifically communicative.   The works were created by the project's trio of members, acclaimed South Korean pianist Sophy Chung, oceanographer Molly M. James, and composer, computer scientist Max Lu.Harmony of Nature II: Waves received support from Connecticut Sea Grant Arts Support Awards Program.

Our intention is to engage in practices that support mental wellbeing and help build community and connection. Gentle Therapeutic Yoga classes will be held right after this class.
