SUMMARY:"The Journey: Domestic Violence Legislation in Ghana" by Prof. Akosua Adomako Ampofo
DESCRIPTION:Daily\, all over the world\, women and children (especially) are abused by intimate partners and family members\, friends and colleagues. While a legal infrastructure and legal responses will not end gender-based violence (GBV) and domestic violence (DV)\, they can provide reliefs for survivors of violence. They can serve as spaces from which GBV and DV can be discussed and explained\, as well where advocacy can occur. This talk chronicles the journey traveled by women’s rights advocates for the passage of DV legislation in Ghana. The advocates faced considerable resistance but also built strong alliances and learned about effective methods of strategizing among different constituencies helpful in other areas of struggle. They learned more about “deconstructing” notions of GBV. The lessons learned in Ghana suggest strategies for mobilizing and advocacy that are useful for women and men globally\, including the United States. \nProfessor Akosua Adomako Ampofo\, Director of the Institute of African Studies\, University of Ghana\, Legon\, is a sociologist who has published widely on gender (including masculinities)\, sexuality\, children and socialization\, and feminism. She was the first head of the Centre for Gender Studies and Advocacy at the University of Ghana. \nOrganized by the IHC’s African Studies RFG\, with co-sponsorship from the Hull Chair in Feminist Studies and the Department of History. \n\nDownload event flyer\nSee more events sponsored by the IHC’s African Studies RFG

SUMMARY:Probing "Presence": Photography and Policing in Colonial South Africa
DESCRIPTION:TALK: \nLorena Rizzo (University of Bielefeld & Harvard University) \nProbing “Presence” – Photography and Policing in Colonial South Africa \nThe presentation starts from research conducted in the Western Cape Archives in 2012/3. While working on a collection of photographic albums produced in a Cape Town convict station in the late 19th and early 20th century\, I came across a pair of photographs portraying a convict who bore my surname. I use this archival coincidence or curiosity as an entry point into a methodological and theoretical discussion of the status of photography as a historical source and its appeal as a medium to genealogical research and memory studies. While revisiting some of the classical texts on photography\, among them Roland Barthes’s Camera Lucida\, this paper focuses on Eelco Runia’s notion of “presence.” In sum\, it examines some of the ways in which historical photographs resonate with contemporary negotiations of the past in South Africa. \n  \nThe talk is sponsored by the IHC’s African Studies Research Focus Group\, History (Research Cluster Empires\, Borderlands\, and their Legacies)\, History of Art and Architecture\, Film and Media Studies. \nEvent Flyer

SUMMARY:Public Lecture: "Racialized Paths to Proletarianization: Myths about Black Economic Competition\, Cheap Labor\, and White Vulnerability"
DESCRIPTION:Tiffany Willoughby-Herard (African American Studies\, UC Irvine) \nThe presentation discusses a key historiographical intervention about so-called “cheap labor” in WASTE OF A WHITE SKIN: THE CARNEGIE CORPORATION AND THE RACIAL LOGIC OF WHITE VULNERABILITY. What did calls for the protection of “civilized labor” and a “white wage” mean to the history of race and class in apartheid South Africa? How did depiction of African workers as “cheap” and “inefficient” laborers “encroaching on white jobs” characterize African women and men as having a purely ornamental function in the history of South African industrialization? What does this legacy suggest about contemporary post-apartheid struggle in South Africa? \nTiffany Willoughby-Herard is an Associate Professor of African American Studies at the University of California\, Irvine. She is the author of WASTE OF A WHITE SKIN: THE CARNEGIE CORPORATION AND THE RACIAL LOGIC OF WHITE VULNERABILITY (University of California Press\, 2015) and editor of the NATIONAL POLITICAL SCIENCE REVIEW. \nSponsored by the IHC’s African Studies RFG\, the Center for Black Studies Research\, and the History Department \n  \n\nWilloughby-Herard1-Flyer\, 3 Feb. 2016
