SUMMARY:Citizen Ashe Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, February 27\, 2025 \n\n\n\nTime: 6:00 pm – Reception; Citizen Ashe Film Screening  / Discussion to follow from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm \n\n\n\nLocation: UCLA Northwest Auditorium\,  350 De Neve Dr\, Los Angeles\, CA 90024  \n\n\n\nRefreshments will be served. Attendance is complimentary; registration is required. We kindly request your RSVP by Wednesday\, February 25\, 2025.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOn behalf of Arthur Ashe Legacy Project @UCLA\, we are pleased to invite you to a 50th Anniversary Celebration of Arthur Ashe’s Historic Wimbledon Victory. This event commemorates one of the most significant milestones in tennis history and the enduring impact of Arthur Ashe’s legacy. \n\n\n\nArthur Ashe\, one of UCLA’s most influential alumni\, was not only a groundbreaking tennis champion but also a tireless advocate for social justice\, civil rights\, health\, and education. Ashe’s legacy goes beyond his remarkable athletic achievements\, including becoming the first African American man to win Wimbledon\, the U.S. Open\, and the Australian Open. He used his platform to challenge the systemic inequities of his time and fought for marginalized communities both on and off the tennis court. Ashe was particularly outspoken on issues of racial inequality\, apartheid\, HIV/AIDS awareness\, and the importance of education. Many of the systemic issues Ashe fought for — racial injustice\, access to healthcare\, educational inequities\, and global human rights — continue to inflict harm on individuals and communities across the world. \n\n\n\nJoin us for an exclusive celebration paying tribute to Ashe’s extraordinary contributions to the world and learn more about the ongoing impact of his legacy through the Arthur Ashe Legacy Project at UCLA. The evening will feature a reception followed by a film screening of Citizen Ashe\, a biography that highlights his life and enduring influence. \n\n\n\nIntroductory Movie:  \n\n\n\nhttps://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/js3mzcv4s0wfanmoqci6k/Welcome-to-the-Ashe-Project-at-UCLA.mov?rlkey=uvi3ynv8zztt1439o9kpe5pr6&e=1&st=9d286fy9&dl=0

SUMMARY:Information Studies Colloquium: Frank Gilbreth\, Fatigue Elimination\, and Consuming and Producing "Information" Systematically (1892-1924) with Jimein Tina Wei Ph.D. candidate
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our next IS Colloquium on February 27\, 2:00-4:00 p.m. in the Reading Room\, 3340 Moore Hall. There will be refreshments to follow.  \n\n\n\nBio \n\n\n\nJiemin Tina Wei is a PhD candidate in Harvard University’s Department of the History of Science\, where she is completing her dissertation on the history of fatigue in the workplace. Her research has received funding from the National Science Foundation\, the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History\, the Andrew Mellon Foundation\, and the Social Science Research Council. Prior to graduate school\, she worked at Google\, Stanford University\, and the Environmental Protection Agency. \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nIn the 1910s\, an “efficiency craze” swept the United States\, as debates erupted over the veracity and ethical\, social\, and economic consequences of a new system of managing human labor newly coined as “Scientific Management.” As these dramas raged over the theories of the consultant Frederick Winslow Taylor and his colleagues\, bricklayer-turned-franchise-owner Frank Gilbreth had been tinkering away on alternative solutions to the “labor problem.” Contracted to implement efficiency improvements at the New England Butt Company in 1912 and 1913\, he used this testing ground to introduce his new method for finding “the One Best Way to do work.” Armed with photography assistants\, he sought to transition the focus in his field of Scientific Management from “time studies” of the stopwatch to “motion studies” of the camera. Both Taylor and Gilbreth aimed at efficiency\, but Gilbreth’s motion study approached efficiency through a different plane of analysis: space\, not time. For Frank and his wife Lillian Gilbreth\, one achieved work efficiency by manipulating the lines and shapes of the body. Although generated in a seemingly top-down context—by an efficiency engineer creating systematized and objective knowledge about workers’ bodies—Frank Gilbreth’s photographs and their paraphernalia captured how workers both resisted and collaborated with the sometimes-bumbling Gilbreth and his obsessive\, eccentric methods. The Gilbreths’ pursuit of “fatigue elimination” through the motions of the human body involved gathering\, storing\, and generating vast stores of what they called research “information.” To contain\, sort\, and selectively retrieve this torrent of “information” with efficiency\, the Gilbreths had to apply their own methods of “fatigue elimination” to their own work as researchers.

SUMMARY:Learning Café: A Community Engaged Scholarship Series with Thuy Vo Dang

Nguyen\, Volunteer at Los Angeles Public Library–Chinatown Branch\n\n\n\nJoanna Fabicon\, Senior Librarian\, Children’s Services at Los Angeles Public Library\, UCLA Lecturer\n\n\n\nCandice Mack\, Senior Librarian\, Young Adult/Teen Services at Los Angeles Public Library\, UCLA Lecturer\n\n\n\nMads Le\, Ph.D. and MLIS student\, UCLA Information Studies\n\n\n\n\nVIRTUAL PANELISTS: \n\n\n\n\nShirley Ly\, Children’s Librarian–Echo Park Branch\, Los Angeles Public Library\n\n\n\nKim Chu\, public librarian and Viet Storytime Club member\n\n\n\n\nThe panel will present a UCLA Center for Community Engagement Social Impact Collaborative grant project that supports an international peer collective of Việt storytime facilitators. This collective arose from a need to build community to address feelings of isolation in the struggle to research\, translate\, plan programming\, and manage collections. For immigrant and minority communities\, language-appropriate resources are essential to foster a foundation of cultural identity and a sense of belonging\, alongside promoting literacy and early learning skills. By developing and promoting culturally sustaining bilingual Vietnamese storytimes\, the collective provides a model of uplifting diverse community’s cultures\, stories\, and songs in order to foster communal joy\, which is inseparable from individual heritage\, resilience\, and empowerment. The exploratory grant phase enables UCLA researchers to bring together Việt storytime facilitators with Los Angeles Public Library (LAPL) and the Asian Pacific American Librarians Association (APALA) experts as partners.

SUMMARY:Early-Career Scholar Series Presenter: Dr. Cinthya Salazar and Advanced-Career Scholar Facilitator Dr. Ozan Jaquette
DESCRIPTION:During this session\, Cinthya Salazar will present a paper in progress that she is co-authoring with Cindy Barahona from Texas A&M University. Using longitudinal data from 23 undocumented students with and without DACA\, Salazar and Barahona seek to understand how participants experience legal violence during their college graduation process and its effects on post-graduation life. Specifically\, the research questions guiding this investigation are: (a) In what ways do undocumented students graduating from college with and without DACA experience legal violence through their transition out of higher education? and (b) How does legal violence influence the post-graduation experiences of undocumented college graduates with and without DACA? During the session\, Salazar will discuss the findings on this investigation and engage in conversations with attendees about the implications of this work for higher education research\, policy\, and practice. \n\n\n\nDr. Cinthya Salazar (ella/she) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Education within UCLA’s School of Education & Information Studies.  Dr. Salazar’s research focuses on the mechanisms used by undocumented students to access\, persist\, and succeed in higher education. She uses participatory action research and engages undocumented students as co-researchers to generate localized student success models that can promote their college retention. \n\n\n\nRefreshments will be served. Please direct questions to Dr. Deborah Southern\, desouth@ucla.edu

SUMMARY:Kenneth Karmiole in Archival Studies: Roots & Culture(s): Leaning In/Reaching Out
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Kenneth Karmiole in Archival Studies: Roots & Culture(s): Leaning In/Reaching Out with Dr. Etienne Joseph \n\n\n\nIntroduction by: Thuy Vo Dang; Assistant Professor\, and Anne J. Gilliland; Professor \n\n\n\nThe focus on difference and cultural specificity in contemporary archival praxes is both good and necessary as part of the movement toward the decolonization of ‘the archive’. However\, especially in the polarized social and political conditions in which we find ourselves\, it is also important that immediate intra-community concerns do not obfuscate potential cross-community solidarities grounded in our common humanity. Through a living example\, this paper reflects on how leaning into principles and practices rooted in a specific diasporic culture can support the further development of a community-focused archival practice that explores solidarities across cultural lines. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, please contact us at (310) 206-0375.

SUMMARY:Information Studies Colloquium: Participatory AI with PhD candidate Kelly Wagman
DESCRIPTION:Please join us by Zoom for this week’s Information Studies Colloquium\, Thursday\, January 16\, 2-4 p.m. The presenter will be Kelly B. Wagman\, discussing participatory AI. \n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\nKelly B. Wagman is a PhD candidate at the University of Chicago in the Computer Science department where her focus is human-AI interaction. Kelly’s research centers around understanding how AI integrates with sociotechnical systems and how to improve the design of those systems. Previously she worked at Microsoft Research and received a MS in Comparative Media Studies from MIT and BAs in Computer Science and Economics from Brown University. \n\n\n\nAbstract: \n\n\n\n“Participatory AI” has been proposed as a mechanism for designing ethical and inclusive AI systems. However\, scholars differ on theoretical definitions for participatory AI and few practical examples exist of participatory AI implementations in real-world settings. In this project\, we develop a participatory AI system for climate that is being deployed in a Chicago neighborhood in order to understand the benefits and limits of this approach. More specifically\, we partnered with climate scientists and a Chicago community non-profit organization to understand how AI models of microclimates can benefit community residents and incorporate their perspectives. To do this we conducted interviews\, co-design workshops\, and ethnographic work. Based on this qualitative work\, we built a climate reporting and visualization app for the community to contribute data (e.g. photos of basement flooding) to the science AI pipeline as well as understand how these climate models can be made actionable in their own lives. Ultimately this project demonstrates that it is possible to develop a practical participatory AI system that benefits multiple stakeholders\, although it is time-intensive and questions remain as to the scalability of such an approach.

SUMMARY:Technological Jingoism and the Domestic Politics of the US-China "AI Arms Race"
DESCRIPTION:All Are Welcome! \n\n\n\nJanuary 9\, 2025 | 3321 Murphy Hall | Talk: 1-2 p.m. \n\n\n\nThe rise of large language models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT has popularized the notion that AI companies are locked in a race to be the first to produce artificial general intelligence (AGI). This narrative is amplified by the geopolitical framing of US-China competition\, cast as a battle between democracy and authoritarianism. Layering propaganda atop speculation\, technocrats posit that building AGI first is a moral imperative for the United States because the Chinese government would use the advanced technology to assert global political control. This framing not only distorts the discourse around AI itself\, but also limits the ways information is constructed\, shaping data infrastructures to serve a narrow agenda of economic nationalism. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Shazeda Ahmed argues that democracy is threatened by each new iteration of AI arms race thinking. Drawing upon interview studies in China and the United States\, Dr. Ahmed investigates how certain expert communities have transformed ideological stances on AI into knowledge production practices and policies that sustain policymakers’ belief that maintaining the United States’ global technological dominance is a top national security objective. This framing is instrumentalized to justify anti-Asian xenophobia in the proposed TikTok ban\, as well as the persecution of Chinese STEM researchers in the US; to defer the accountability of Silicon Valley companies that claim regulation will dampen innovation; and to stymie efforts to safeguard society against well-documented AI harms\, including automated discrimination. Yet\, despite how deeply AI discourse has become saturated with an air of inevitability\, international scholars\, civil society advocates\, and tech workers committed to trans-Pacific peace point a way forward and out of recursive Cold War logics. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nShazeda Ahmed is a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral (Presidential Postdoctoral Fellowship Program) fellow at UCLA. Shazeda completed her Ph.D. at UC Berkeley’s School of Information in 2022\, and was previously a postdoctoral research fellow at Princeton University’s Center for Information Technology Policy. She has been a research fellow at Upturn\, the Mercator Institute for China Studies\, the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab\, Stanford University’s Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) Institute\, and NYU’s AI Now Institute. \n\n\n\nShazeda’s research investigates relationships between the state\, the firm\, and society in the US-China geopolitical rivalry over AI\, with implications for information technology policy and human rights. Her work draws from science and technology studies\, ranging from her dissertation on the state-firm co-production of China’s social credit system\, to her research on the epistemic culture and knowledge production practices in the emerging field of AI safety.

SUMMARY:Early-Career Scholar Series Presenter: Dr. Chris Jadallah and Scholar Facilitator Dr. Teresa L. McCarty
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Department of Education Early-Career Scholar Series invites Department faculty\, staff\, and students to come together to engage with early-career scholars and their research\, and build community over a Department lunch at noon following the session. At each session\, an early-career scholar will either present their research or workshop a paper or study in progress facilitated by an advanced-career scholar. \n\n\n\nThis monthly event strives to foster community and connection within our Department\, come together to learn more about our early-career scholars\, and support their work. Coffee and refreshments will be served. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, Dr. Jadallah will present a recently completed study with educators of color mapping the sociopolitical commitments that guide their pedagogies in farms\, gardens\, and other land-based settings (Jadallah\, 2024). He will also share plans for an upcoming study extending this work in partnership with young people in the San Fernando Valley using oral history approaches to document their own families’ connections to and relationships with land. He welcomes comments\, questions\, and feedback. \n\n\n\nDr. Jadallah is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Justice in the Department of Education at UCLA\, where he co-designs\, implements\, and studies learning environments where people come together to learn in\, with\, and from the natural world. Across his projects\, he endeavors to foreground the knowledge of non-dominant communities as an asset for both learning and socio-ecological changemaking\, operating from the premise that these communities’ everyday practices provide fertile ground from which to anchor the work of building more just and sustainable futures. \n\n\n\nUpcoming Series Dates: \n\n\n\n\nJanuary 17\, 2025\n\n\n\nFebruary 14\, 2025\n\n\n\nMarch 14\, 2025\n\n\n\nApril 11\, 2025\n\n\n\nMay 9\, 2025\n\n\n\nJune 6\, 2025

There will be refreshments to follow.  \n\n\n\nSocial Media and the Spread of Hate (SMASH)  \n\n\n\nDr. Christine Ong and Seul Lee \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nSocial Media and the Spread of Hate or SMASH is an interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers\, educators\, and policy advocates from UCLA’s School of Education and Information Studies\, the Semel Healthy Campus Initiative (HCI)\, and an independent non-profit partner\, the Organization for Social Media Safety (OFSMS). SMASH is funded by UCLA’s Initiative to Study Hate.   \n\n\n\nOur primary goal is to explore how young people encounter hate speech online\, their responses to it\, and ideas for making social media safe for everyone. Our study incorporates various methods including survey data gathered during school assemblies and in-depth conversations with young people about their own experiences using social media.  \n\n\n\nIn the past two years\, SMASH has gathered survey data from over 24\,000 students in grades 5-12 across 94 schools nationwide. Our findings have informed OFSMS program improvements.  Our research has also been shared by OFSMS partners in legislative testimony related to potential harms on social media and broader advocacy efforts at the local\, state and national level.  SMASH results may also inform future development of educational resources and interventions\, such as activities to promote kindness\, empathy\, resiliency\, and critical thinking around social media use. \n\n\n\nBios \n\n\n\nSeul Lee is a doctoral candidate in Information Studies at UCLA\, holding a B.A. in Management Information Systems\, an M.A. in Data Science\, and a graduate certificate in Digital Humanities. Her research interests involve investigating the intricate landscape of information biases\, algorithmic subjectivities\, and the pivotal role of digital literacy education in fostering a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of biases behind the presentation of online information. She has been working as a graduate student researcher for the Social Media and the Spread of Hate (SMASH) team to combat online hate speech by collaborating with middle and high school students in the US. \n\n\n\nDr. Christine Ong is a research scientist at the National Center for Research on Evaluation\, Standards and Student Testing (CRESST) at UCLA. Dr. Ong has extensive experience managing research and evaluation studies that involve multi-institution partnerships. She is project director of the Social Media and the Spread of Hate (SMASH) study\, an interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers\, educators\, and policy advocates from UCLA’s School of Education and Information Studies and the non-profit Organization for Social Media Safety and funded by UCLA’s Initiative to Study Hate. This work includes an examination of features of social media apps that may help fuel hateful content adolescents encounter. She also serves as an external evaluator for two NSF grants that connect to computing education\, Computational Thinking Equity Project (CTEP) and Researching Equity and Antiracist Learning (REAL-CS). In addition\, she is part of the California Teacher Education Research and Improvement Network (CTERIN) and sister study\, California Preparation Pathway Project (CP3\, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation)\, charged with constructing and enhancing teacher-level data related to new teachers’ preparation\, placement and retention in the state.

SUMMARY:A Civil Rights Agenda for California's Next Quarter Century - An Education Research and Policy Briefing
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Civil Rights Project is celebrating its first quarter century by taking a critical look forward at the upcoming generation—not at the history of civil rights challenges\, debates over older policies\, or at prior victories. We are focused on what California needs in the next quarter century to address the challenges facing our rapidly changing society. Our research series\, “A Civil Rights Agenda for California’s Next Quarter Century\,” harnesses the skills of innovative thinkers from various disciplines to think systematically and deeply about how California is transforming and what the implications are for the future of racial justice. This December 5th we will share new research and engage in discussion\, charting a new path forward in an anti-civil rights era.  \n\n\n\nWe hope to see you there.
