SUMMARY:A conversation with Diane Ratican\, author of Why LA? Pourquoi Paris?
DESCRIPTION:Event Date: Monday\, March 1\, 2021\, 3pm PST\nEvent Location: Zoom event\nPlease RSVP below \nAbstract\nFor the first time\, the cities of Los Angeles and Paris are illustrated in parallel. A one-of-a-kind collectible art book\, travel guide and personal journey that compares and contrasts the history\, culture\, architecture\, fashion\, cuisine and daily life of two of the most iconic cities on the planet. For more details\, please visit the website https://whylapourquoiparis.com/. \nAbout the speaker\nDiane Ratican\, educated at University of California Berkeley in History and Sociology\, then at UCLA with a Masters in Sociology and Education\, started her career educating gifted children\, and then moved on to become a risk-taking entrepreneur. This background uniquely prepared her to engage in this latest endeavor\, as writer\, conjuror of images\, and artistic director. Sharing her enchantment with\, and knowledge of\, both Los Angeles and Paris has become a complex project with all the depth and nuances of a richly textured tapestry. As an entrepreneur\, Ratican built a highly successful business importing children’s clothing from France for upscale retailers across the U.S. Ratican’s excitement and infatuation with Paris\, her second home\, plus her enthusiasm for her resident city\, Los Angeles\, uniquely positions her to engage readers to develop their own love affair of both these dynamic destinations. Ratican is a devoted wife\, mother\, and grandmother living in Pasadena\, California. \n

SUMMARY:Connecting the Dots: Data Narratives of Migration\, a virtual talk Roopika Risam
DESCRIPTION:Roopika Risam; Digital Humanities Speaker\n \nEvent location: Zoom event\n \nPlease register here.\n \n \nAbstract\nWith the prodigious amount of data about contemporary migration currently available through sources like the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees\, migration has been subject of numerous data visualizations. Rhetorical and technical choices made in these visualizations have positioned refugees and forced migrants as instigators of a “crisis.” In doing so\, these forms of data storytelling displace the geo-political\, colonial\, and neo-colonial causes of migration onto refugees themselves\, positioning them as “problems.” In this talk Risam explores the narrative dimensions of migrant data. What does it mean to tell migrant narratives through data? What kinds of migrant narratives do data-driven approaches facilitate and what narratives are obscured through data-driven approaches? And what kinds of data storytelling approaches foster the agency of migrants?\n \nAbout the speaker\nRoopika Risam is Chair of Secondary and Higher Education and Associate Professor of Education and English at Salem State University. Her research interests lie at the intersections of postcolonial and African diaspora studies\, humanities knowledge infrastructures\, and digital humanities. Risam is the author of New Digital Worlds: Postcolonial Digital Humanities in Theory\, Praxis\, and Pedagogy (2018)\, and co-editor of Intersectionality in Digital Humanities (2019) and The Digital Black Atlantic for the Debates in the Digital Humanities series (2021).\n \nPresented by the UCLA Department of Digital Humanities and the UCLA Department of Information Studies.
