Global Justice, Equity, and Empowerment: Understanding and Enacting Social Change

April 19, 2019 at UCLA

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Grassroots and top-down advocacy, social justice movements, and community mobilization are powerful tools to achieve social change and have become more pervasive and pronounced in our increasingly globalized world. No matter where this spark is originated or directed, we are interested in learning about work that attempts to analyze or perpetuate social change. How has the need for social change guided your research? Have tenets of advocacy and social reform guided your organization, research, or art? Graduate students of all backgrounds and community organizers are encouraged to submit work on movements and vectors of social change.

Panel topics may include, but are not limited to, analyzing movements and vectors of social change through these various perspectives:

§ Addressing Gender Inequities
§ Transnational Migration
§ Initiatives to Support Immigrants and Refugees
§ Looking Backwards: How Has History Informed the Social Movements of Today
§ The Internet As a Tool of Change: A Shift In Media Images & Social Stereotypes

Mainstreaming Refugee Women's Rights Advocacy

Thursday, February 14, 2019 12:00 – 1:30 pm
4357 Public Affairs Building

The migration experience exposes women to special risks and challenges. Because asylum-seeking women are vulnerable, both during their journey and once they reach the country of asylum, we should consider how law could better protect them. The talk will explore the possibility of advocating for the protection of asylum-seeking women as women, rather than just as refugees, using the Israeli asylum system as a case study.
