This has been long understood in the case of class in equality\, where the US is very different than Europe in what ways of ta lking about social justice are most familiar. But race\, nationality or ethnicity and gender are also framed differently in different political systems and also reflect social struggles of long historical duration. I n this talk\, I draw attention to the ways that struggles for gender equ ality have intersected with those for class and race justice and continu e intersectionally to shape the meaning of all forms of inequality. To i llustrate this\, I contrast the race-centered framing of gender equality as the outcome of dismantling stereotypes and ending discrimination tha t dominates in the US with the class-centered framing of gender equality as the outcome of effective government actions to promote women's full participation in governance and equal inclusion in the distribution of s ocial goods that characterizes Germany. I suggest that the EU mixes thes e models in a uniquely hybrid model which offers both potential and risk s for actually reducing inequalities in its member states. I point to th e problems of growing class inequality in the US and growing racializati on of religious minorities in Europe as intersecting dangerously with ge nder inequalities in both parts of the world.SPEAKER BIO:Myra Marx Ferre e is the Alice H.

We then review the relative importance of the different drivers of reform\, including budget costs\, external pressur es\, the role of the Commission and changing agendas\, in the decision-m aking context of the European Union.

Because humankind has becom e and might continue to be a species of city dwellers\, and because huma nkind has become more than ever unequal in their conditions of life and mobility across national borders\, the questions we ask about urbanizati on and urban inequality in a transnational world are questions about the human condition. What are the spatialities of these interconnected tren ds and what are those emerging spaces? What are the new and persistent f orms of inequality they produce? What are the ways in which inhabitants\ , vastly unequal in their conditions of life\, negotiate their livelihoo ds\, security\, and dignity in these emerging urban spaces? How is trans nationalism implicated in the production of these ascendant inequalities ?The Cities and Inequalities in a Transnational World conference seeks t o better understand aspects of these unfolding processes of urbanization and transnationalism that might prove similar or different from the pas t and across regions. Through this conference we seek a global perspecti ve grounded in the experiences of various regions of the world\, includi ng Africa\, South and South East Asia\, Latin America\, Middle East\, Eu ropean Union\; Russia and Eastern Europe.For more information on the sym posium\, visit the 2012 Joint Area Centers Symposium page LAST-MODIFIED:20120127T150000Z LOCATION:Levis Faculty Center\, 919 W Illinois St\, Urbana\, IL 61801 (ma p) CATEGORIES:Lecture CONTACT:Faranak Miraftab ORGANIZER:faranak@illinois.edu URL:http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/596?key=200001012000010110688692 UID:10688692@illinois.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20120214T151857Z DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20120301T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20120301T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture Series.

No such scholarly event in the US or Israel has ever taken place . The writers being considered have all been born since 1970\, and began publishing during the 21st Century. Though much of this writing has had a huge impact on the Israeli reading public\, shaped the translation an d production industry in the US\, and reflects and entirely new kind of discourse taking place in Israeli culture\, this writing has received no scholarly attention to date. This symposium provides a venue for explor ing this topic\, bringing together not only scholars but also writers\, translators and publishers of this material\, many of whom also hold aca demic positions at leading Israeli\, American and British institutions. The keynote speaker\, Dan Laor\, brought in partly through the support of the Israel Project through the Program in Jewish Culture and Society\ , is a renowned academic of Hebrew literature\, served as the Dean of Hu manities at Tel Aviv University\, and is the editor of a leading literar y journal. Through his work in all three of these areas\, he has fostere d the creative talent of this new generation\, shaped their development and provided venues (and other opportunities) for their publishing and s uccess. Not only does this event intend to serve the scholarly communit y\, including graduate and undergraduate students at UIUC. It also offer s an opportunity to introduce a sample of this new writing to the public . Preceding the opening reception\, there will be a public reading of a sample of works\, provided (and translated) by many of the participants. This incredibly exciting opportunity to showcase the writing that has r edefined the reading public in Israel\, is offered in conjunction with s upport from Dalkey Archive Press and their new series in Hebrew Literatu re in Translation\, and the Institute for the Translation of Hebrew Lite rature in Israel with whom they work closely.

CREATED:20111028T140000Z DESCRIPTION:On October 4\, 2010\, 700\,000 cubic meters (21m-24m cubic fe et) of toxic sludge escaped from a reservoir of a Hungarian alumina plan t in the West of Hungary\, flooding three villages with a 25 km-long\, 1 -2 km-wide\, and occasionally 7 ft-high cascade of highly caustic mud. O fficially ten people died from burns or suffocation\, and hundreds were treated in hospitals. Over two hundred houses that survived have to demo lished. All life in the nearest river\, the Marcal\, a tributary of the Danube\, have been extinguished--fish\, birds\, insects\, and plants. Ac cording to government officials\, this is Hungary's worst ecological dis aster. The talk will review the historical context of this disaster focu sing\, first\, on the company and its technology\, including the causes of the spill\; second\, on changes in related environmental policies\, f rom state socialism through EU accession\; and third\, and most importan tly\, on the political and ideological mining of the spill both by the n ationalist government and liberals.

The transactions in question involve American\, Norwegian and Du tch capital and concern land acquisitions for the cultivation of rice\, jatropha and mangoes respectively. The studies use qualitative methods\, involving focus group discussions with men and women farmers and with t he chiefs\, as well as in-depth interviews with a selected number of mal e and female farmers in several communities. In all three cases\, there have been significant losses of common spaces\, with gendered impacts. B ecause of their reproductive roles\, the sexual division of labour in pr oduction and gender inequalities in land tenure systems\, women have par ticular interests in the commons over and above men?s use of such spaces . The three cases allow for a comparison of different land tenure system s\, the impacts on locals as well as settlers and the particularities in the roles and discourses of the state\, chiefs\, the leadership of the local land-owning groups and the urban elite. In addition\, they highlig ht the specificities of the land transactions\, their business models an d their implications for the pre-existing land tenure systems\, food sec urity\, and the wider political economy. SPEAKER BIO: Dzodzi Tsikata is head of the Centre for Gender Studies and Advocacy (CEGENSA) at the Uni versity of Ghana and a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Statis tical\, Social and Economic Research (ISSER).

It focuses on the ideology and the movement of nationa lism--a phenomenon springing up in modernity and bringing forward the co ncept of the nation as the proper unit of state organization. Being the undisputed offspring of nationalism (which is to be understood as both t he product and the vehicle of modernization)\, the Greek War of Independ ence is discussed not solely in its political dimensions but also in ter ms of its contribution to a much broader societal change. It is in this sense that the Greek struggle for independence may be interpreted as the specifically Greek exit from tradition as an undoubtedly unique event o f momentous importance per se\, yet\, on the other hand\, as one more in stance in a prolonged and very intricate process of societal transformat ions.
