SUMMARY:Environmental Justice and Community Organizing with the Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN)
DESCRIPTION:Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN) is an environmental justice organization with deep roots in California’s Asian immigrant and refugee communities. Since 1993\, APEN has built a membership base of Laotian refugees in Richmond and Chinese immigrants in Oakland. Together\, they’ve fought and won campaigns to make our communities healthier\, just places where people can thrive. Learn more about APEN’s work and a workshop with UCLA Luskin. \nREGISTER HERE through CareerHub \nSeng So\, Los Angeles Lead Organizer: “In the 1980s Seng So’s parents fled the Khmer genocide and settled in the Bay Area. It is from this history—the struggles and sacrifices of his ancestors—that paves his path today. Seng has been a youth organizer in California’s immigrant and refugee communities for almost two decades. At the heart of his life and work are three principles: community\, love\, liberation.” \nAPEN is launching a new organizing project in the South Bay region of Los Angeles County: cities and neighborhoods like Wilmington\, San Pedro\, Carson and Torrance.

SUMMARY:The Settler Sea: California’s Salton Sea and the Environmental Consequences of Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:This talk presents a view of the Salton Sea and its surrounding Sonoran Desert ecosystem that destabilizes hegemonic\, settler colonial perspectives on the sea and the desert\, exploring the ways that different kinds of human communities have encountered and made meaning out of this complex place. Ultimately\, this story of sea\, desert\, and people is not just a tale of environmental decline in the face of human power. It is a parable about competing knowledge systems – epistemologies and worldviews about the land\, ourselves\, and one another – and how these knowledge systems hold consequences for arid places and the people who love them. \nDr. Traci Brynne Voyles is Professor and Chair of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Oklahoma (OU)\, and Affiliate Faculty in the OU Departments of History and Native American Studies. She is the author of two books: The Settler Sea: California’s Salton Sea and the Consequences of Colonialism (Many Wests book series\, University of Nebraska Press\, 2021)\, which won the prestigious Caughey Prize for best work on the American West in 2022\, and Wastelanding: Legacies of Uranium Mining in Navajo Country (University of Minnesota Press\, 2015). \nREGISTER HERE
