These attacks are highly coordinated\, well-funded\, and long entrenched in a range of intersecting ideologies and systems of imperialism and settler colonialism\, autocracy\, white supremacy\, dominionism\, heteropatriarchy\, neoliberalism\, militarism and carcerality\, ableism\, and more. Examples include policy “reforms” and public rhetoric that undermine any number of issues ranging from anti-genocide protest and truthful curriculum to DEI initiatives and LGBTQIA+ inclusion; from teacher professionalism and student civil-rights protections to democratic governance and equitable funding of educational institutions and initiatives; from humanizing learning and teaching at the classroom level\, to community capacity building at the school and district levels\, to a bold vision of education as movement building for justice at the levels of systems and values. What does it mean to advance justice through anti-oppressive education and collective action in this moment? \n\n\n\nThe 15th International Conference on Education and Justice highlights the role of educational scholars in anti-oppressive movement building\, particularly when we produce scholarship collectively and leverage it for public pedagogy. \n\n\n\nSessions will feature projects and works-in-progress that aim to raise public awareness or influence educational policy and practice\, as well as strategies to build our capacity for such interventions. Educators\, scholars\, students\, leaders\, advocates\, and educational organizations and institutions from across the United States and around the world will convene to share collective scholarship for public pedagogy\, as well as to support one another in such work through critical self-reflection and constructive criticism. \n\n\n\nThe 15th Conference returns to California\, and will be held jointly with open meetings of CARE-ED and EDJE so that conference attendees can attend and benefit from these meetings\, and vice versa. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n More Information URL:https://seis.ucla.edu/event/15th-international-conference-on-education-and-justice/ LOCATION:Moore Hall\, 457 Portola Plaza\, Los Angeles\, California\, 90024 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://seis.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/International-Conference-on-Educational-Justice-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250909T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250909T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T155918 CREATED:20250823T204210Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250823T204359Z UID:21477-1757412000-1757422800@seis.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Workshop: AI\, Time & Futurity DESCRIPTION:Join the UCLA Department of Information Studies for a free workshop on AI\, Time & Futurity with Dr. Maya Indira Ganesh (Leverhulme CFI\, UK). \n\n\n\nTime haunts AI. An origin story in the summer of 1955 that has acquired the status of myth and fact; geopolitical races; the contradictions and entanglements of longtermist and accelerationist ideologies; law and regulation that fail to keep up; promised breakthroughs from the driverless car to superintelligence that fail to arrive\, or seem eternally just around the corner. Computational time is also infrastructural: the lag in software updates pushed to the cloud and then to fleets of driverless cars and mobile phones (Mattern\, 2017). Temporality works unevenly affording ‘just in time’ deliveries for the busy\, but at the cost of bio-social control of delivery workers and on-demand mobility service providers (Sharma\, 2014). \n\n\n\n​This workshop is interested in exploring the temporalities\, ideologies\, and materialities of AI at a moment of complex political reconfigurations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Register Now URL:https://seis.ucla.edu/event/workshop-ai-time-futurity/ LOCATION:Center for the Study of Women|Barbra Streisand Center\, 1500 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, California\, 90095 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://seis.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Workshop-AI-Time-Futurity-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250908T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250908T173000 DTSTAMP:20260403T155918 CREATED:20250805T210254Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250805T210255Z UID:21181-1757347200-1757352600@seis.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Principal Leadership Institute (PLI) Online Admissions Information Session DESCRIPTION:Register Now URL:https://seis.ucla.edu/event/principal-leadership-institute-pli-online-admissions-information-session-2/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://seis.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Admissions-Information-Sessions-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250908T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250908T123000 DTSTAMP:20260403T155918 CREATED:20250823T202347Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250823T202348Z UID:21473-1757329200-1757334600@seis.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Auto-Correct: Fantasies & Failures of AI Ethics in the Driverless Car DESCRIPTION:Join the UCLA Department of Information Studies for a book talk by Dr Maya Indira Ganesh (Leverhulme Center for Futures of Intelligence\, Cambridge) based on her first monograph. \n\n\n\nThe “trolley problem” remains a useful exercise in drawing out the differences between utilitarian and deontological approaches to ethics in analytic philosophy. However\, the thought experiment also determined imagining what AI-infused artefacts should be capable of\, suggesting that ethical decision-making becomes a data-driven enterprise rather than a human\, social\, or individualised practice. Maya Indira Ganesh tracks the language\, materiality\, and culture of epistemic tools that establish safety and automobility as problems to be solved by the driverless car\, examining outputs of AI systems versus what constitutes our social and technological presents and futures. \n\n\n\n\n Register Now URL:https://seis.ucla.edu/event/auto-correct-fantasies-failures-of-ai-ethics-in-the-driverless-car/ LOCATION:UCLA Murphy Hall Room 3312 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://seis.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Auto-Correct.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250829T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250829T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T155918 CREATED:20250802T012637Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250802T012638Z UID:21112-1756468800-1756472400@seis.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Master’s Degree in Student Affairs Online Admissions Information Session DESCRIPTION:Join Zoom Session URL:https://seis.ucla.edu/event/masters-degree-in-student-affairs-online-admissions-information-session/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://seis.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Admissions-Information-Sessions.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250828T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250828T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T155918 CREATED:20250805T202715Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250805T202716Z UID:21155-1756402200-1756407600@seis.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Educational Leadership Program (ELP) Online Admissions Information Session DESCRIPTION:Register Now URL:https://seis.ucla.edu/event/educational-leadership-program-elp-online-admissions-information-session/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://seis.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Admissions-Information-Sessions-3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250828T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250828T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T155918 CREATED:20250802T010930Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250802T010930Z UID:21102-1756382400-1756386000@seis.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Education M.A./Ph.D. Online Admissions Information Session DESCRIPTION:Join Zoom Session URL:https://seis.ucla.edu/event/education-m-a-ph-d-online-admissions-information-session/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://seis.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Admissions-Information-Sessions.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250827T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250827T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T155918 CREATED:20250805T194954Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250805T194955Z UID:21146-1756296000-1756299600@seis.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Master’s Degree in Library and Information Science (MLIS) Online Admissions Information Session DESCRIPTION:Join Zoom Session URL:https://seis.ucla.edu/event/masters-degree-in-library-and-information-science-mlis-online-admissions-information-session/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://seis.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Admissions-Information-Sessions-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250824T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250827T235959 DTSTAMP:20260403T155918 CREATED:20250512T181117Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250512T181118Z UID:19709-1755993600-1756339199@seis.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Society of American Archivists Conference DESCRIPTION: URL:https://seis.ucla.edu/event/society-of-american-archivists-conference/ LOCATION:Hilton Anaheim\, 777 W Convention Way\, Anaheim\, California\, 92802\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250821T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250821T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T155918 CREATED:20250805T222259Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250805T222300Z UID:21199-1755788400-1755792000@seis.ucla.edu SUMMARY:UC|CSU Collaborative for Neuroscience\, Diversity\, and Learning Summer 2025 Webinar Series: Language Equity in Multilingual Early Childhood Classroom: Lessons from a Research Practice Partnership DESCRIPTION:California’s early elementary classrooms include significant numbers of children raised in multilingual environments. Multilingual learners face inequitable access to linguistically rich instruction\, resulting in persistent disparities in language abilities and overrepresentation in special education. Teachers\, administrators\, parents\, and policy makers are seeking effective ways to reduce achievement gaps and more equitably support learning and development for multilingual learners in monolingual classrooms. This session explores the experiences of young multilingual learners in California’s public school classrooms to identify research-based pedagogy and classroom practices that can effectively create more equitable language learning opportunities for multilingual learners. Strategies focus on: Culturally Responsive Supports\, Home Language Supports\, and English Language Supports. \n\n\n\nDrs. Wishard Guerra and Cohen will share findings from our research practice partnership study: Strategies for Teachers of Young Learners of English (STYLE). They utilized a Practice Based Coaching intervention to support implementation of research-based pedagogical strategies to meet the needs of multilingual learners in early elementary classrooms. Transitional Kindergarten teacher Ms. Kristina Jefferson will highlight the specific practices she uses in her classroom to engage with families from diverse backgrounds\, to support home and English language development\, and to create a warm and culturally responsive classroom environment. \n\n\n\n\n Register Here!

This study will be an extension of Dr. Wang’s dissertation work where she primarily focused on the longitudinal relationship between the neural basis of phonological awareness and word reading skills. This dissertation work provided systematic neural evidence clarifying the mechanism of why phonetic training facilitates word reading. She hopes that this new neural study can address whether semantic knowledge is crucial in the early stage of word reading and if so\, what the mechanism could be. Dr. Wang is currently working on a pre-registration for this paper and has not yet looked at the data\, she welcomes any suggestions/critics about the idea formation\, hypotheses\, and data analyses plan. This study is based on an existing Open Dataset on monolingual English-speaking children. In the next years after her Ph.D. students on board\, she is interested in collecting pilots and exploring the longitudinal interaction between language skills (e.g.\, phonology and semantics) and reading skills in multilingual populations. Any collaborations are also welcome. \n\n\n\nJin Wang is an assistant professor in the department of education at UCLA started July 2024. She earned her Ph.D. in the Department of Psychology and Human Development at Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College in 2022 and did her post doc at Harvard Graduate School of Education. Her research focuses on language development in children from infancy to early elementary years and its relations to reading skills using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). \n\n\n\nPlease direct questions to Dr. Deborah Southern\, desouth@ucla.edu URL:https://seis.ucla.edu/event/early-career-scholar-series-presenter-jin-wang-ph-d-and-advanced-career-scholar-facilitator-maryanne-wolf-ph-d/ LOCATION:UCLA Moore Hall\, Room 3320 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://seis.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Early-Career-Scholar-Series-Presenter-Jin-Wang-Ph.D.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250605T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250605T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T155918 CREATED:20250512T055634Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250512T055634Z UID:19688-1749124800-1749128400@seis.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Pride Talk: Strengthening Support Networks for LGBTQ+ Youth DESCRIPTION:Join us for a transformative talk dedicated to enhancing support systems for LGBTQ+ youth.

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.
