Ayu Saraswati (Professor of Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies; University of Hawai'i) Tuesday, October 3rd 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM 409 Tier Boardroom Dr. L. Ayu Saraswati will use a transnational feminist autoethnography method of travelling to twenty countries in one year to offer thought-provoking theories and life-transforming ways to deal with pain outside of the neoliberal framework. This lecture invites us to reframe pain as a political and transnational feminist object and asks how we can carry it in a more humane, life-sustaining, enchanting, and feminist way. WRITING WORKSHOP: Narrating the Personal, Transforming the Political Facilitated by Dr. L. Ayu Saraswati (University of Hawai'i) Wednesday, October 4th 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM 409 Tier Boardroom Seating is limited. To reserve your spot, register with the following link<https://forms.gle/fSDK9SoguLLz7oq58>. In this hands-on writing workshop, participants will learn why personal stories can be the most convincing tool to argue for political transformation, how to have a better understanding of their projects, and what kinds of tools they can employ to preempt writer's block–even before they start writing their projects. Feeding the World: Competing Visions of Agriculture and Community in a Hog Factory Farm Fight Dr. Nan Enstad (Professor of Community and Environmental Sociology; University of Wisconsin) Hosted by the Food Matters Research Cluster Thursday, October 5th 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM 307 Tier Boardroom Dr. Enstad will explore the dynamic struggle over concepts of nature and economic futures beyond left/right conflict.
