SUMMARY:Early-Career Scholar Series Presenter: Deborah Southern Ph.D. and Advanced-Career Scholar Facilitator Ananda Marin Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, Dr. Southern will workshop a critical examination of whiteness (CEW) methodological framework which can be used to identify empirical evidence of whiteness via qualitative research. Combining critical concepts of whiteness with qualitative methods\, the CEW methodological framework informs critical research design and sensitizes researchers to identify and examine whiteness throughout the data collection and data analysis process\, even when participants are unaware of whiteness or its manifestations within their organization. Dr. Southern welcomes feedback\, questions\, and reflections on the clarity and use of the methodological framework. \n\n\n\nDr. Deborah E. Southern (she/her) is a University of California Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow with the Department of Education and Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies. As a higher education scholar and qualitative researcher\, Dr. Southern examines organizations and change\, and how organizational transformation is possibly facilitated or restrained by mechanisms\, culture\, and leaders. One important contribution of Dr. Southern’s research examines how power like whiteness in institutions via areas like organizational structures\, practices\, and leaders’ comfort works to obstruct transformative change. \n\n\n\nRefreshments will be served. Please direct questions to Dr. Deborah Southern\, desouth@ucla.edu

SUMMARY:Information Studies Colloquium: The Art History of the Storage Unit: Processing the AIDS-Related Stewardship of Family and Friends with Alex Fialho
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  \n\n\n\nMy dissertation Apertures onto AIDS: African American Photography and the Art History of the Storage Unit  narrates the intimate stories and archival efforts of families and friends who have cared for AIDS-related artworks\, stewarding them in storage units\, under beds\, and in basements over several decades. In relation to these personal provenances amidst AIDS-related loss\, my research develops an analytic I term “the art history of the storage unit.” I want to consider together the stakes of why and how these artworks by African American artists have been stewarded and cared for in personal and familial collections\, outside the purview of museums and other archival institutions that due to erasure and white supremacy have often overlooked these objects. \n\n\n\nBio:  \n\n\n\nAlex Fialho is a PhD candidate in Yale University’s Combined PhD program in the History of Art and African American Studies. As an art historian and curator\, Fialho focuses on modern and contemporary art\, Black queer and feminist thought\, and AIDS cultural studies. His dissertation “Apertures Onto AIDS: African American Photography and the Art History of the Storage Unit” animates AIDS-related histories through the lens of artists Lola Flash\, Darrel Ellis\, Lyle Ashton Harris\, and Kia LaBeija. He was a 2023–2024 Helena Rubinstein Critical Studies Fellow in the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program. Based in Los Angeles\, Fialho is a 2024–2025 Predoctoral Fellow at the Getty Research Institute and the 2025–2026 Luce/ACSL Ellen Holtzman Dissertation Fellow in American Art. \n\n\n\n*Fialho worked as Programs Director of the New York-based arts non-profit Visual AIDS from 2014–2019\, facilitating projects around the history and immediacy of the ongoing AIDS pandemic\, while intervening against the widespread whitewashing of HIV/AIDS cultural narratives. As an Oral Historian for the Smithsonian Archives of American Art’s Visual Arts and the AIDS Epidemic: An Oral History Project\, he conducted in-depth oral histories with fifteen cultural producers including Ron Athey\, Douglas Crimp\, Nan Goldin\, Lyle Ashton Harris\, and Julie Tolentino.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Breslauer Lecture: Indigenous Knowledge and the Limits of Translation: Mexican Manuscripts in Early Modern Collections
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  \n\n\n\nThis talk discusses the circulation and reception of Indigenous manuscripts in Mexico and Europe from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Indigenous authors in pre-contact and early colonial Mexico created pictorial manuscripts that record Native knowledge in image and word. Collectively\, these documents constitute an incomparable Indigenous archive. They entered private and institutional collections on both sides of the Atlantic\, provoking a great deal of interest. However\, their reception in early modern Europe almost without exception reached interpretive dead ends. Poised at the intersection of Indigenous studies\, the history of books and libraries\, and the history of knowledge production\, this talk discusses the trajectories of several Mexican manuscripts to address questions of materiality\, mobility\, and the possibilities and limits of translation and interpretation. It follows Indigenous manuscripts in movement and stasis\, as knowledge inscriptions and as potential sources for knowledge production\, to consider the flow and friction of Mesoamerican Indigenous objects and practices in the early modern world. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Daniela Bleichmar \n\n\n\nProfessor of Art History and History; Founding Director\, Levan Institute for the Humanities; Director\, USC Society of Fellows in the Humanities; University of Southern California \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: \n\n\n\nDaniela Bleichmar is Professor of Art History and History at the University of Southern California. Her research and teaching address the history of images\, objects\, and texts in colonial Latin America and early modern Europe\, focusing on the histories of visual and material culture; science and knowledge production; circulation\, encounters\, and exchanges; collections; and books. Her publications include the books Visible Empire: Botanical Expeditions and Visual Culture in the Hispanic Enlightenment (2012) and Visual Voyages: Images of Latin American Nature from Columbus to Darwin (2017).

SUMMARY:Information Studies Colloquium: The Weight of Small Things: Everyday Archiving and the Making of Belonging in Chinese American Families with Jiarui Sun
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n\n\n\nThis talk explores the everyday archiving practices of Chinese American families\, with particular attention to their transnational and intergenerational dimensions. Drawing on interviews\, ethnographic observations\, and personal narratives\, it examines how family members across different generations and geographies engage with documents\, photographs\, digital records\, and heirlooms—not only as sources of information\, but also as emotionally charged objects that carry meaning\, memory\, and identity. The analysis focuses on how these materials are preserved\, interpreted\, and at times contested across borders and generations\, situating such practices within complex negotiations of belonging\, displacement\, and cultural continuity. Family archives are framed as sites of emotional labor and diasporic care\, highlighting their affective\, relational\, and infrastructural dimensions. Rather than being solely about safeguarding the past\, the talk positions family archiving as a practice through which diasporic futures are imagined\, constructed\, and sustained. \n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\nJiarui Sun is a Ph.D. candidate in Information Studies and a graduate student researcher at the Asia Pacific Center at UCLA. His research interests include archives and migration\, personal archiving\, and digital recordkeeping. His work has been published in both English- and Chinese-language journals\, including Archival Science\, and has received support from the Society of American Archivists\, the Society of California Archivists\, the Beta Phi Mu International Honor Society for Library and Information Science\, and the UCLA Asian American Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Structuring College Access: The Market Segment Model and College Board Geomarkets
DESCRIPTION:The Structure of College Choice (Zemsky & Oedel\, 1983) created “Geomarkets” and the “Market Segment Model.” Geomarkets carve states and metropolitan areas into smaller geographic units\, meant to define local recruiting markets. The Market Segment Model predicts how student demand for a particular college varies by Geomarket\, based on the socioeconomic characteristics of households. Geomarkets became an input for two College Board products that help colleges recruit students. First\, the Enrollment Planning Service (EPS) software recommends specific Geo-markets and high schools from which colleges should recruit. Second\, the Student Search Service sells the contact information of prospective students – referred to as “student lists” – and colleges can filter by Geomarket to determine which prospect profiles they purchase. We draw from scholarship on quantification\, particularly the discussions of correlation and homophily by Chun (2021)\, to conceptualize how recruiting products incorporate Geomarkets.  \n\n\n\nWe address two research questions: What is the socioeconomic and racial variation between Geomarkets and how does this variation change over time? How does the socioeconomic and racial composition of included versus excluded prospects vary when student list purchases filter on particular Geomarkets? We answer RQ1 by analyzing Census data from 1980\, 2000\, and 2020. We answer RQ2 using data on student lists purchased by public universities\, which we collected by issuing public records requests. We utilize a quantitative case study design. Metropolitan areas are cases. Analyses consist of descriptive statistics and interactive maps.

SUMMARY:"New Wave" Documentary Screening\, Book Signing\, and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Q&A with filmmaker Elizabeth Ai\, moderated by UCLA Assistant Professor Thuy Vo Dang. Book signing with Ai for the film’s companion publication\, “New Wave: Rebellion and Reinvention in the Vietnamese Diaspora\,” will begin at 6:30 p.m. \n\n\n\nFor a group of young\, rebellious Vietnamese Americans in the 1970s and 1980s\, the struggle to find identity took root in a community of musicians with big hair\, vibrant fashion and synthesized beats. A culture clash was born\, playing out in the careers and lives of New Wave musicians\, documented in Elizabeth Ai’s kinetic film that skillfully weaves together the challenges of intergenerational understanding in the search for the American dream. The anchor of this mesmerizing film is its use of archival materials\, a portal into a changing community grappling with transformation. Ai’s role as filmmaker and subject reveals raw personal questions from the aftermath of the Vietnam War\, joining a growing artistic and archival response to retelling a community’s experiences and histories. \n\n\n\nAdmission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come\, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. \n\n\n\n6:30 PM Book Signing \n\n\n\n7:30 PM Screening \n\n\n\n9:00 PM Panel

SUMMARY:Information Studies Colloquium: The Landscape of Data Reuse in Information Retrieval: Motivations\, Sources\, and Evaluation of Reusability with Tianji Jiang
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  \n\n\n\nSharing and reusing research data can effectively reduce redundant efforts in data collection and curation\, especially for small labs and research teams conducting human centered system research\, and improve the replicability of evaluation experiments. Building a sustainable data reuse process and culture relies on frameworks that encompass policies\, standards\, roles\, and responsibilities\, all of which must address the diverse needs of data providers\, curators\, and reusers. \n\n\n\nPrevious studies have found that people’s data sharing and reuse practices differ by the research fields they are in\, making it challenging to construct infrastructures that effectively support data sharing in interdisciplinary research communities. As part of his dissertation study\, Tianji investigated the data reuse practices of experienced researchers in the field of Information Retrieval (IR)\, a typically interdisciplinary area where data sharing and reuse are common. This talk will present his preliminary findings from an interview study with 21 researchers from diverse demographic backgrounds\, institutions\, and career stages\, focusing on their motivations\, experiences\, and concerns regarding data reuse. \n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\nTianji Jiang is a doctorate candidate in Information Studies at UCLA\, advised by Professor Anne Gilliland. Before joining UCLA\, he graduated with his B.M. in Information Management and Information System from Peking University\, China in 2019. \n\n\n\nTianji’s research interests focus on research data management\, data sharing and reuse\, sociometric\, academic library services\, and digital humanities. He is particularly interested in building community capacity and knowledge infrastructure for data curation\, sharing\, and reuse through better understanding of people’s data behaviors. Currently he is working on his dissertation “Understanding data reuse practices of IR researchers”. He is also conducting several projects focused on developing tools and methods to identify various data behaviors (e.g.\, data sharing and data reuse) through bibliographic records. \n\n\n\nTianji Jiang is also working as a research and instruction technology consultant for UCLA Humanities Technology to provide technology support to research and instruction in the division of Humanities.
