SUMMARY:Political Theory Workshop (3/3/23) - Alexander Diones (Loyola Marymount University)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Alexander Diones\, Loyola Marymount University\nTitle: Criticism and Self-Criticism: The Combahee River Collective and the Critique of Global Maoism\nTopic:  PT Workshop\nTime:  Friday\, March 3rd; 4:00pm \nThe password-protected paper is both attached and available on the PT website at\nhttps://polisci.ucla.edu/events/workshops/political-theory-workshop\nThe password is (case-sensitive) UCLAtheory \nAbstract:\nHow do we conceive of solidarity when we’re conditioned to treating one another as antagonists? To answer this question\, I turn to the Combahee River Collective’s “Statement\,” particularly its theory of what the authors call “criticism and loathing.” Building on recent scholarship on the collective’s place in the intellectual history of global Maoism\, this essay argues that the account of criticism contained in this phrase should be thought of as both a reformulation of Maoist theories of vanguard politics and a claim about the relation of identity and solidarity.

SUMMARY:Political Theory Workshop on 2/17/2023 (Lisa Disch)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Lisa Disch\, University of Michigan\nTitle:  Responsiveness in Reverse\nTopic:  PT Workshop\nTime:  Friday\, February 17th; 4:00pmThe password-protected paper is both attached and available on the PT website at\nhttps://polisci.ucla.edu/events/workshops/political-theory-workshop\nThe password is (case-sensitive) UCLAtheory\nAbstract:\nClassic accounts of representative democracy describe an interest-first model according to which constituencies form around things they want and elected representatives respond to their demands. Research into political knowledge and preference formation shows that in practice\, responsiveness goes the other way. In mass democracies\, acts of political representation often do not take constituencies and their interests as a starting point. Representatives of all kinds participate in forming group identities\, crafting political demands\, and defining political cleavages. In such a context\, the model of interest-first representation and the responsiveness ideal set representative democracy up to fail: they create expectations about “competence” that most individuals cannot and need not meet. I propose a mobilization conception of political representation and defend a dynamic account of constituency making to shift those expectations.

SUMMARY:Political Theory Workshop: "Out of Line: Line-Standing\, Queues\, and Distributive Justice" by Elizabeth Cohen
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Elizabeth Cohen\, Syracuse University \nTitle:  Out of Line: Line-Standing\, Queues\, and Distributive Justice \nTopic:  PT Workshop \nTime:  Friday\, June 4th; 4:00pm PST \n  \nZOOM LINK: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/j/8217815316?pwd=dlU4enhrUTVBOVFSUFhRamJsd2dwdz09 \n  \nMeeting ID:  821 781 5316 \nPasscode:  4289 \n  \nOne tap mobile \n+12133388477\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (Los Angeles) \n+16692192599\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (San Jose) \n——————– \n  \n  \nThe password-protected paper is both attached and available on the PT website at \nhttps://polisci.ucla.edu/events/workshops/political-theory-workshop \n  \nThe password is (case-sensitive) UCLAtheory \n \n  \nAbstract: \nTime is a fundamental ingredient of social justice. Yet political theory does not often directly interrogate the temporality of distributive justice. This paper examines one aspect of distributive justice and time. It looks at the impact of members of a society thinking of themselves to be waiting in queues to access political opportunities\, goods\, and standing. The process of “waiting in line” has become a common metaphor to describe the experience of seeking social and political mobility. Queues are associated with powerful social justice expectations and related emotions. Once people believe they have invested time waiting in line\, they tend to treat their place in line to be a form of property\, they expect the principle of first come first served to apply\, and they react strongly to even a suggestion that a line has been “cut” or arbitrarily reordered. Such frames have important implications for how anyone seeking social mobility will regard immigrants\, or anyone they believe should be behind them in a line.

SUMMARY:Political Theory Workshop: "The Use of Love" by Lida Maxwell
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Lida Maxwell\, Boston University \nTitle:  The Use of Love \nTopic:  PT Workshop \nTime:  Friday\, May 21st; 4:00pm PST \n  \n*Please note that the attached chapter is from Professor Maxwell’s book project on queer love* \n  \nZOOM LINK: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/j/8217815316?pwd=dlU4enhrUTVBOVFSUFhRamJsd2dwdz09 \n  \nMeeting ID:  821 781 5316 \nPasscode:  4289 \n  \nOne tap mobile \n+12133388477\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (Los Angeles) \n+16692192599\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (San Jose) \n——————– \n  \n  \nThe password-protected paper is both attached and available on the PT website at \nhttps://polisci.ucla.edu/events/workshops/political-theory-workshop \n  \nThe password is (case-sensitive) UCLAtheory \n \n  \nAbstract: \nThis chapter of my book project\, “Queer Love\,” examines how the experience of queer love puts normal “uses” of love into question\, and reframes the nature of “use” – of objects\, people\, non-human nature\, institutions etc. – for queer lovers more generally. The chapter focuses on the relationship between Rachel Carson and Dorothy Freeman\, as well as Audre Lorde’s account of the erotic\, while also examining some of Carson’s early writings while she worked at the Department of the Interior. A central claim of the chapter is that the use of love and the use of non-human nature are connected\, and that when queer love puts the nature of “use” into question\, this happens in part through unfamiliar uses of non-human nature.

SUMMARY:Political Theory Workshop: “Quite obscure until now:” Montesquieu’s constitutional history\, foundings\, and the modern state by Jacob Levy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Jacob Levy\, McGill University \nTitle:  “Quite obscure until now:” Montesquieu’s constitutional history\, foundings\, and the modern state \nTopic:  PT Workshop \nTime:  Friday\, April 16th; 4:00pm PST \n  \nZOOM LINK: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/j/8217815316?pwd=dlU4enhrUTVBOVFSUFhRamJsd2dwdz09 \n  \nMeeting ID:  821 781 5316 \nPasscode:  4289 \n  \nOne tap mobile \n+12133388477\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (Los Angeles) \n+16692192599\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (San Jose) \n——————– \n  \n  \nThe password-protected paper is both attached and available on the PT website at \nhttps://polisci.ucla.edu/events/workshops/political-theory-workshop \n  \nThe password is (case-sensitive) UCLAtheory \n \n  \nAbstract: \nThe concluding Part 6 of The Spirit of the Laws is by far the longest of the book’s major sections— almost a third of the book’s total length— but it is almost certainly the least-discussed and least-understood. It offers a legal and constitutional history of France which\, even by Montesquieu’s usual standards\, offers few explicit normative conclusions and little by way of an explanation of its purpose. The material he discusses is obscure to contemporary readers\, and so Part 6 is typically either ignored altogether or identified in a summary way with la thèse nobiliaire. In this chapter I will offer an interpretation of Part 6 and its purpose in the book\, and use that to illuminate Montesquieu’s understanding of constitutional foundings and the emergence of the modern European state throughout SL\, and\, more tentatively\, in The Persian Letters as well. Montesquieu rejects all of the contemporaneous theories of political normativity grounded in foundings and origins— la thèse nobiliaire as much as la thèse royale\, historical contractarianism as is found in the monarchomachs and hypothetical contractarianism In the Grotius-Hobbes tradition\, and the obsession with foundings and founders seen in Machiavelli and republicanism. He demonstrates the falseness and impossibility of all of these\, rejecting them as incompatible with the pluralism and institutional evolution that genealted the moderate and balanced era of the Gothic constitution\, “the best kind of government which men have been able to devise.” This government did not ultimately fail through its corruption\, as one might think through reading the long discussion of regime types and their internal failure; it was itself such a corruption. Its merits were not based on a founding principle but on the institutional history traced in Part 6– a history that directs our attention to the social and political changes that did end the Gothic era\, the rise of the modern Weberian state.

SUMMARY:Political Theory Workshop: Angela Y. Davis: Abolitionism\, Democracy\, Freedom by Neil Roberts
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Neil Roberts\, Williams College \nTitle:  Angela Y. Davis: Abolitionism\, Democracy\, Freedom \nTopic:  PT Workshop \nTime:  Friday\, March 12th; 4:00pm PST \n  \n*Professor Roberts’ attached paper is a chapter from the recently published book  \nAfrican American Political Thought: A Collected History\, Edited by Melvin L. Rogers and Jack Turner* \n  \nZOOM LINK: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/j/8217815316?pwd=dlU4enhrUTVBOVFSUFhRamJsd2dwdz09 \n  \nMeeting ID:  821 781 5316 \nPasscode:  4289 \n  \nOne tap mobile \n+12133388477\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (Los Angeles) \n+16692192599\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (San Jose) \n——————– \n  \n  \nThe password-protected paper is both attached and available on the PT website at \nhttps://polisci.ucla.edu/events/workshops/political-theory-workshop \n  \nThe password is (case-sensitive) UCLAtheory \n \n  \nAbstract: \nThe essay begins with a discussion of the movements\, texts\, and figures—notably Herbert Marcuse—both central to the intellectual development of Angela Y. Davis and most representative of Davis’s political thought. It frames Davis’s body of work as a form of fugitive theory and practice whose nineteenth-century intellectual roots provide a unique vista only partially mined by contemporary theorists frequently associated with fugitive thought. It turns next to an examination of three concepts foundational to the work of Davis: abolitionism\, democracy\, and freedom. Davis’s analyses of W.E.B. Du Bois and Frederick Douglass are vital to elucidating these notions. The chapter argues that the understanding of abolitionism Davis marshals mediates her articulations of democracy and freedom in late modernity. Inclusion of Davis’s views on resistance and liberation reinforces this reading. Davis does not claim to invent all or even most of the categories and terms integral to her thought. It is the way she integrates older and new concepts into a defined political system concerned with actors and institutional arrangements that distinguishes her. Deciphering how Davis arrives at her core tripartite ideals challenges us to refashion facile\, sanitized origin narratives of the contours of African American political thought. \n  \n———————————————————- \nBelinda Sunnu \nSpecial Events Coordinator/Recruitment \nUCLA Department of Political Science \n4289 Bunche Hall\, Box 951472 \nLos Angeles\, CA  90095-1472 \n310-206-7558 (Phone) \n310-825-0778 (Fax) \n———————————————————- \n

SUMMARY:Political Theory Workshop: Galton’s Pride: The Resilience of Data-Driven Inequality by Colin Koopman
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Colin Koopman\, University of Oregon \nTitle:  Galton’s Pride: The Resilience of Data-Driven Inequality \nTopic:  PT Workshop \nTime:  Friday\, February 26th; 4:00pm PST \n  \nZOOM LINK: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/j/8217815316?pwd=dlU4enhrUTVBOVFSUFhRamJsd2dwdz09 \n  \nMeeting ID:  821 781 5316 \nPasscode:  4289 \n  \nOne tap mobile \n+12133388477\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (Los Angeles) \n+16692192599\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (San Jose) \n——————– \n  \n  \nThe password-protected paper is both attached and available on the PT website at \nhttps://polisci.ucla.edu/events/workshops/political-theory-workshop \n  \nThe password is (case-sensitive) UCLAtheory \n \n  \nAbstract: \nFrancis Galton is today remembered as an eminent prince of science if not also as a wild crank who\, at the end of the nineteenth century\, helped spawn the grandiose political disaster of eugenics.  But moreso than prince or crank\, Galton was first and foremost a tinkering technician of measure.  There are numerous domains of science over which Galtonian conceptions of measure retain considerable influence.  Not least among these are efforts in contemporary data science.  Yet as critical data studies scholars have recently shown\, new deployments of data science risk a bevy of injustices.  Even where contemporary sciences officially disclaim the inegalitarian moralities of racism that funded Galton’s eugenics\, they maintain other of his foci\, such as that on the family\, and thereby risk\, perhaps even invite\, social inequalities.

SUMMARY:Political Theory Workshop: ‘Pass by!’: Nietzsche’s Zarathustra on Speaking’s Damage by Shalini Satkunanandan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Shalini Satkunanandan\, UC Davis \nTitle:  ‘Pass by!’: Nietzsche’s Zarathustra on Speaking’s Damage \nTopic:  PT Workshop \nTime:  Friday\, January 22nd; 4:00pm PST \n  \nZOOM LINK: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/j/8217815316?pwd=dlU4enhrUTVBOVFSUFhRamJsd2dwdz09 \n  \nMeeting ID:  821 781 5316 \nPasscode:  4289 \n  \nOne tap mobile \n+12133388477\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (Los Angeles) \n+16692192599\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (San Jose) \n——————– \n  \n  \nThe password-protected paper is both attached and available on the PT website at \nhttps://polisci.ucla.edu/events/workshops/political-theory-workshop \n  \nThe password is (case-sensitive) UCLAtheory \n \n  \nAbstract: \nNietzsche’s prophet protagonist\, Zarathustra\, sometimes seeks to avoid or curtail engagement with others\, including dialogical engagement about beliefs\, in order to pursue and protect his arguably political ends (the creation of new values). He calls this practice of selective withdrawal from engagement “passing by.” In this paper\, which is part of an in-progress book manuscript\, I show how Zarathustra’s practice of passing by arises from an acute sense of the limits and toll of speaking to others\, especially for anyone who strives\, as Zarathustra does\, to create a radically new future.

SUMMARY:Political Theory Workshop: Machiavellian Leadership\, Class Conflict and Imperial Expansion by John McCormick
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  John McCormick\, University of Chicago \nTitle:  Machiavellian Leadership\, Class Conflict and Imperial Expansion \nTopic:  PT Workshop \nTime:  Friday\, November 20th; 4:00pm PST \n  \nZOOM LINK: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/j/8217815316?pwd=dlU4enhrUTVBOVFSUFhRamJsd2dwdz09 \n  \nMeeting ID:  821 781 5316 \nPasscode:  4289 \n  \nOne tap mobile \n+12133388477\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (Los Angeles) \n+16692192599\,\,8217815316#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,4289# US (San Jose) \n——————– \n  \n  \nThe password-protected paper is both attached and available on the PT website at \nhttps://polisci.ucla.edu/events/workshops/political-theory-workshop \n  \nThe password is (case-sensitive) UCLAtheory \n \nAbstract: \nTwo seemingly minor figures from the Discourses\, Marcus Menenius and Pacuvius Calanus\, play fundamental roles in Machiavelli’s lessons on political leadership.  Through these examples\, Machiavelli instructs leaders on the proper role that capital trials should play within republics beset by class conflict\, aristocratic conspiracies\, and imperially exacerbated civic corruption.  Machiavelli demonstrates that leaders must find suitable opportunities to prosecute oppressive elites before the common people in capital trials; and\, moreover\, that such leaders must demonstrate their own deference to the people by encouraging\, at appropriate moments\, the people to pass legal judgment on themselves as well.  Menenius and Pacuvius appear in episodes involving Capua\, a subject city of Rome\, thus enabling Machiavelli to explore the interaction of leaderly prudence\, domestic class conflict and imperial rule.  Ultimately\, Machiavelli’s Menenius and Pacuvius demonstrate how publicly spirited civic leaders can properly mobilize the people to expose\, combat or resolve instances of foreign conspiracy\, domestic tumult\, and aristocratic corruption for the benefit of their polities.

SUMMARY:Political Science Commencement 2019
DESCRIPTION:Commencement Speaker: Howard Welinsky ’72 \nHoward Welinsky is the former Senior Vice President/Administration for Warner Bros. Distributing. His career at Warner Bros. spanned 42 years\, where he rose through the ranks from Sales Analyst. He is active in Democratic Party politics\, having served on the State Democratic Central Committee since 1977 and chairing the Platform Committee for the past ten years. He has been a delegate to three National Democratic Conventions and served on the Platform Committee for four others. He has long advocated for his twin passions of higher education and Israel. Welinsky served on the California Postsecondary Commission for 11 years\, and he co-founded the California Coalition for Public Higher Education. He lives in Toluca Lake with his wife Karren Ganstwig\, also a UCLA alum. They were married on campus. \nWhat has UCLA meant to you? \nI have always been proud of my UCLA degree. UCLA is such a special place that combines the pursuit of truth and excellence with great humanity. It’s a place where so many first-generation students like me are given a chance to soar. \n\nCommencement live stream will be available at the department’s Facebook page here \nThe College of Letters and Science Commencement Contact Information page contains multiple links to Message Center topic queues: http://www.college.ucla.edu/commencement/help/contact/ \nInformation for graduates and guests the day of commencement: \nOn Sunday\, June 16\, 2019\, graduates assemble at the LATC (Los Angeles Tennis Center). Please arrive by 8:00 AM. Enter through GATE B off Bruin Walk. \nA processional into Pauley Pavilion will begin promptly at 8:45 AM. \nAs graduates arrive to the assembly area name cards will be distributed. The name cards include a line for the phonetic spelling of your name to assure that announcers pronounce your name appropriately. \nDuring the ceremony graduates are guided to the stage by event staff and hand their name card to a photographer’s assistant.  Faculty members rotate announcing names as graduates walk across the stage. A photography company called GradImages uses the flip side of the card to collect addresses which are used to send photos taken as graduates prepare to step onto the stage\, stand center stage and after stepping down from the stage. \nApproximately 425 graduates are expected to participate along with 3\,000 guests.  Guests should arrive an hour before the event. Seating is unassigned and is first come\, first seated. The doors of Pauley Pavilion open at 8:00 AM. There are several ceremonies scheduled that morning so guests should allow ample time to park\, walk to Pauley Pavilion\, and find a seat. The event is anticipated to be 90 to 120 minutes. \nSECURITY PRECAUTIONS DURING COMMENCEMENT \nAlthough UCLA does not anticipate any security problems during Commencement\, we are constantly monitoring the events to protect the safety and security of our guests. Please observe the following restrictions for all Commencement Activities on the UCLA Campus. \n\nNo large bags\, back packs\, large purses or items larger than 12 x 12\nNo firearms\, knives\, explosives or other weapons\nNo cans\, coolers and other containers except in cases of medical need\, as certified by a physician\nNo artificial noise makers\, air horns or megaphones may be used\nNo large signs\, flags\, poles\, banners\, or laser pointers\nNo promotional items with commercial slogans or identification\nNo food or drinks are allowed in the individual commencement venues\nInspections of small receptacles (bags) might be required as you enter event venues\nAll Commencement venues have the authority to prohibit any other items deemed to be a security risk.
