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.

SUMMARY:Media Archival Studies: Media Preservation and Visibility Research
DESCRIPTION:Talk: Media Archival Studies: Media Preservation and Visibility Research \n\n\n\nWednesday\, April 9th\, 2025\, 11:00 am \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: IS Library\, GSEIS Building\, UCLA \n\n\n\nThis presentation examines recent movements in media archives and representational visibility advocacy. I argue that media archival research is subject to social pressures that have historically limited diversity and access\, along several line such as what we recognize as an appropriate medium of historical memory\, who has been allowed to save memory of their experience\, and who has held domain over what became historical. However\, when historians and archivists take a coalitional approach to preservation and access\, the media archive is capable of revivifying\, recirculating\, and re-presencing a standing reserve of voices that hold the potential to play a role in political mobilization. This talk discusses case studies in radio and television collection stewardship and curation\, and how research and preservation are being influenced by emerging pressures in AI policy and Copyright across federal and regulatory discourses. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: \n\n\n\nJosh Shepperd is Associate Professor and Undergraduate Chair of Media Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. He is also the Director\, Library of Congress RPTF. He is the author of Shadow of the New Deal: The Victory of Public Broadcasting (University of Illinois Press)\, which received the 2024 BEA Book Award and placed as a runner-up or finalist for four other book awards. He is co-writing the official History of Public Broadcasting for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and Current\, and is the founding Associate Editor of Resonance: The Journal of Sound and Culture (University of California Press). Josh directs the Library of Congress Radio Preservation Task Force and Sound Submissions Project. \n\n\n\nFor questions or more information\, please contact Dr. Noopur Raval\, SEIS raval@seis.ucla.edu

SUMMARY:UC|CSU Collaborative for Neuroscience\, Diversity\, and Learning Spring 2025 Webinar Series: Recess for All: Promoting Social and Emotional Growth Through Evidence-Based Interventions 
DESCRIPTION:California’s recent legislation protecting recess for all children marks a crucial step in promoting children’s health and well-being. Recess is more than just a break from academics — it is a vital opportunity for social and emotional development\, self-regulation\, and peer relations. For children with disabilities\, recess is as important as classroom learning\, providing a natural setting where targeted interventions can support social\, emotional\, and behavioral growth. This talk will explore Remaking Recess and other evidence-based social skills interventions that have been successfully implemented in public schools. These interventions not only benefit children with disabilities but also enhance the recess experience for all students. \n\n\n\n\n  Register Here!

SUMMARY:Early-Career Scholar Series Presenter: Kyle Halle-Erby Ph.D. and Advanced-Career Scholar Facilitator John Rogers Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, the focus will be a research talk about an in-progress paper from my dissertation study called “New Trouble: The Construction of Newness and the Imperative to Find Solidarity with Insurgency.” Based on an ethnographic study of specialized high school programs for recently-arrived immigrant young people\, I argue that the construction of “newness” is a strategy for dominating\, structuring\, and having authority over Indigenous and Latinx children as part of the ongoing project of U.S. state formation through conquest. This argument relies on in-depth analysis of Gedeón Sacalxot Tepaz’s story\, which include his migration from Guatemala to Los Angeles\, his experiences with work and immigration court\, and with attending\, leaving\, and returning to school. These arguments draw conceptually on abolition and relationality. Abolition is engaged to think about praxis in this context and to identify students’ goals as a practice of futurity around which solidarity can be forged between educators and immigrant communities. \n\n\n\nKyle Halle-Erby\, PhD.\, is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Education. He studies language policy and planning using critical Black and Indigenous frameworks. His research focuses on educational language policy in public schools for young people who have recently immigrated into the United States.  \n\n\n\nRefreshments will be served. Please direct questions to Dr. Deborah Southern\, desouth@ucla.edu

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.

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: Arlyn Moreno Luna PhD. and Advanced-Career Scholar Facilitator Cecilia Rios Aguilar PhD.
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, Dr. Moreno Luna will explore the concept of spatial (in)justice in the context of community colleges and present preliminary findings from a national longitudinal analysis on degree attainment at these institutions\, along with future research. She invites feedback\, questions\, and reflections to refine the theorization and clarity of the presentation. \n\n\n\nDr. Moreno Luna is a UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at UCLA\, working under the mentorship of Dr. Rios Aguilar. Her research employs quantitative methods to investigate access\, experiences\, and outcomes in higher education for historically underrepresented students. Dr. Moreno Luna has developed and validated an innovative instrument to measure college adjustment\, contributing to the field’s understanding of student success. Current projects focus on the college transition experiences of Latina students at an elite public four-year institution and the STEM identity and belonging of Latinx students at a rural community college. She received her PhD in Education from UC Berkeley in the critical studies of race\, class\, and gender program \n\n\n\nRefreshments will be served.
