Summary:
This project examines publicly available statements about sex and sex work in light of the #MeToo movement and in response to the passing of the FOSTA-SESTA. It focuses on the online efforts of sex-work advocates against the passing of the SESTA, and how those efforts affect the public deliberative democratic process, especially with the rise of Democratic Socialist candidates, such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who oppose the legislation. I want to consider how coalition building between different activist groups online contributes to new methods of rhetorical invention that can push outward to influence the public process of deliberation.
As a scholar-activist devoted to anti-racist, decolonial, femme-inist, anti-capitalist, anti-ableist struggles to decriminalize undocumented people in the United States, I continuously organize in the hopes of altering or dismantling the systems and institutions that perpetuate violence against marginalized, Black and brown communities. Inspired by the website Torn Apart/Separados, which maps Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities across the settle U.S. (volume 1) and the amount of money congress representatives have received from ICE (volume 2), and as part of my dissertation, I wish to create a network graph visualization --eventually accompanied by written and audio interpretations in at least English and Spanish-- of the overlaps between ICE funding congress (potential effects on public policy), government representatives benefiting from public universities, and universities' ultimate complicity with ICE. In tracing "money moves," this project lays the groundwork for activist mobilizations that deploy working-class, labor movement tactics as a means to organize within/against the imperial, neoliberal university (in this case, Big 10 institutions). Finally, my larger aim is to create inter-state, national, and international (no-border) networks of communication and support for the communities to which we belong and/or with whom we are in solidarity.

Summary:
Giving a poster presentation for a class or a conference? In the throes of a research project and need some clarity? This workshop explores poster design as a tool for organizing your research and presenting the results. We’ll discuss project management techniques that not only lead to dynamic and engaging posters but can also help you write papers, articles, and strong grant applications. We’ll share tips for designing your poster as well as identify easy-to-use design tools and on-campus printing resources. Bring a project or an idea to practice with!

Summary:
I have been writing about Vietnam since 1982 and learned much about the war and peace from participants on both sides of the brutal conflict. In my presentation, I want to share how participants in the war from the so-called “winning side” have helped me to better understand not just the war, but also the sense of loss that is often shared with those on the “losing side”. This despair for “what might have been” or “hope and vanquished reality” unites both sides. I am especially interested in participants’ stories as told in memoirs, oral histories and personal interviews. For this presentation, I will focus on those individuals with whom I have engaged in extensive and multiple interviews/discussions and who, with one exception, have also produced memoirs from their experiences in war. The one exception is Pham Xuan An, whose memories and stories are recorded in my book Perfect Spy. Each of these participants helped me understand the war through the eyes of a Vietnamese and altered my own narrative for how I speak and write about the war.
IU scholars from history to area studies, diaspora studies, art history, geography, history of science and more benefit from visualizing and analyzing data on maps in their research, teaching, and publications. Any piece of data that is associated with a location on the Earth can be visualized and analyzed using Global Information Systems (GIS) software. The end results, comprises a variety of digital assets including but not limited to digital maps, geospatial databases, charts, and web apps that can be published in, or linked to books, articles, and websites, or as independent databases to be used by other scholars. It is even possible to create “storymaps” on platforms that allow you unfold your narrative while taking your reader on a tour of visualized data on maps and using multimedia. Like in the case of other digital humanities methods, learning how to work with software and platforms is much easier that what the fancy outcome of them might suggest in the first glance.
In this two-part asynchronous workshop, we intend to, first, give IU faculty and students an overview of what GIS can do for them through highlighting a few works by their peers; and second, to quickly direct them to easy-to-follow workflows that breakdown the process of build a digital mapping project into simple steps. These workflows, which can be used in your research projects or for your in-classroom pedagogical needs, covers a variety of ArcGIS desktop and online platforms. The contents of the workshop are a mixture of brief texts, screen shots and short screen recordings, as well as links to external sources for diving deeper into narrower technical matters. This asynchronous workshop will be gradually updated to cover more GIS skills that might be useful in humanities, arts, and social sciences.
