May 11 Truth, Memory & Human Rights: the work of Latin American Truth Commissions. 2:00 PM, 119 Thomson Hall. Speaker: Rachel May. Truth telling has become a standard feature of transitional politics in much of the world today. The first major truth commission was Argentina's "National Commission for the Disappeared." Since then Latin American states have set the standards for this important aspect of transitional justice. El Salvador, Guatemala, Chile, Panama, and Mexico have all experimented with truth telling projects. Rachel May will discuss the history of truth commissions in Latin America and discuss the political social and philosophical implications of these experiences. Sponsored by the Latin American Studies Program. For more information contact LAS at lasuw@u.washington.edu, (206) 685-3435, or visit the LAS website: http://depts.washington.edu/lasuw/.

Jackson School of International Studies, UW and Professor, Center for International Studies, Seoul National University. May 12 American Lawyer to Speak on her Adventures and Observations while in Russia. 3:30 PM, Thomson 317. Speaker Bernadette Foley, J.D. Ms. Foley developed and taught courses in American Law and American Studies at Sakhalin State. She traveled to Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Yoshkar Ola, Vladivostok and St. Petersburg meeting with Russian academics and speaking about legal educational reform and American law. Sakhalin Island is in the remote Far East of Russia, just north of Japan. Ms. Foley returned to the US from Sakhalin in March of 2004. (The return was a bit premature as she fractured her ankle on the ice and needed surgery in the U.S. But this experience was also educational in that she was able to get a look inside the "dreaded" Russian hospital.) She has written a paper concerning the arrest of Russian business tycoon, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, that will be published by the Eurasian Political Studies Network. May 12 Religious Discourse and the Self justification of Empire. (7:30 PM) Kane Hall 110. Speaker: Bruce Lincoln, Caroline E. Haskell Professor of the History of Religion, University of Chicago. This lecture discusses how religious speech can be used to legitimate violence after the fact, and can authorize, animate, and ennoble even the most extreme use of force. Ancient Persian ideas concerning God, morality, creation, paradise, military conquest and imperial domination are used to illustrate this point, all of which have some distinctly contemporary resonances. Sponsored by: The Comparative Religion Program, The Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, Walter Chapin Simpson Center for the Humanities, The College of Arts and Sciences, and the following UW Programs: Near East Languages and Civilization, East Asia Center, Korea Studies, China Studies, Japan Studies. Information (206) 543-4835. May 12 What's Lovely About It? (Korean) Poetry's Appeal and Survival (even in English), 8:00 p.m., Walker-Ames Room, Kane Hall. Speaker: David McCann, Harvard University. Sponsored by the Department of Asian Languages and Literature. May 13 US Involvement in the History of West Papua and the Human Rights Situation Today. 12:30-2:00 PM, 317 Thomson Hall. Speakers: John Rumbiak, West Papuan human rights advocate Patsy Spier, Survivor of Indonesian Military violence in West Papua. John Rumbiak, internationally recognized as an advocate for the rights of indigenous peoples, serves as supervisor of the Papua-based Institute for Human Rights Study and Advocacy (ELSHAM). ELSHAM has gained recognition as the leading credible source of information regarding human rights conditions in Papua, the western half of New Guinea, one of the most culturally and biologically diverse places on the planet. The Indonesian military and government have engaged in widespread human rights violations in the territory since Indonesia took control in the 1960s via a U.N.-supervised process that U.N. officials have now rejected as deeply flawed. Mr. Rumbiak is currently a visiting scholar at Columbia University's Center for the Study of Human Rights, where he also participated in the 1999 Human Rights Advocates Program. He serves on the board of directors of the U.S.-based Papua Resource Center and is a member of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Center for Human Rights Indonesia Support Group. Patsy Spier is one of the eight American, and three Indonesian, survivors of the West Papua, ambush that took place on the concession of the American company Freeport McMoRan, on August 31, 2002. Patsy's husband Rick was killed in that ambush along with her school superintendent Ted Burgon of Oregon, and her teaching colleague Bambang Riwanto, an Indonesian citizen. Patsy and Rick taught in American schools in Peru, Sumatra, Sudan, Brazil, and W. Papua; they were elementary teachers licensed in Colorado. When Patsy returned to the US in September 2002, she knew she had to do something about the evil that happened on that West Papuan mountain. What her role would be became clear when the Indonesian National Police submitted their report of the Timika Case in October 2002, stating that the Indonesian military (TNI) was apparently behind the ambush, and in November 2002, when the TNI exonerated themselves of any involvement. Patsy and the survivors of the Timika Case chose to focus on withholding the IMET funds, which had been withheld since 1992. In doing so she and the survivors felt it was among their only options to put pressure on the Indonesian government/military until there is full and transparent cooperation with the FBI investigators. May 13 White Nights: Architectural Treasures of the Russian North. 7:00 PM, Seattle Asian Art Museum (Volunteer Park, 1400 East Prospect Street). Speaker: William Craft Brumfield Russian Architecture Specialist. The event is free and open to the public. May 13 On the Limits of Sovereignty: A Critique of the Patriot Act. 7:00 PM, 301 Gowen. Speaker: Judith Butler. Dr. Butler is Maxine Elliot Professor in the Departments of Rhetoric and Comparative Literature at the University of California at Berkeley and Hannah Arendt Professor Philosophy in the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland. Her talk will examine the federal government's use of the notion of sovereignty to justify profound changes in foreign and domestic policy. Sponsored by the Simpson Center for the Humanities and the Department of Women Studies at the UW. www.simpsoncenter.org May 13 >From the Tokyo Subway to the Twin Towers: Rhetoric, Symbolism, and the Dynamics of Religious Terrorism. 7:30 p.m. Kane Hall 220. Speaker: Prof. Ian Reader, Lancaster University, U.K. This lecture will look at September 11, 2001 and the attack on the World Trade Center and March 20, 1995 when the religious movement Aum Shinrikyô used chemical weapons on the Tokyo subway. Both attacks shared similarities of rhetoric and symbolism, and in terms of how religious imperatives were used to justify and assert the value of mass murder. The lecture examines how religious imperatives that posit a polarised world view ('good against evil'; 'us' against 'them'; "war on terror")- may foment violence and produce cultures of spiritually legitimated aggression. Sponsored by: The Comparative Religion Program, The Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, Walter Chapin Simpson Center for the Humanities, The College of Arts and Sciences, and the following UW Programs: Near East Languages and Civilization, East Asia Center, Korea Studies, China Studies, Japan Studies. Information (206) 543-4835. May 14 The Thai Court and Its Subjects: The Administration of Corvee, 1827-1885. 12:00-1:30PM, Location tba. Speaker: Constance Wilson (UW). This paper represents an attempt to reconstruct the process of administrating corvee between 1827 and 1885 based on records from the National Library in Bangkok. For the past three decades Professor Wilson has been working with this material in an effort to find out how corvee was administered and supervised, and to see just what services and types of work the corvee laborers performed. The study covers the process of the registration of eligible men as well as the ways in which workers were organized for specific tasks: assisting in central or local administration; participating in royal ceremonies; construction of royal and local projects; collecting and transporting goods for state revenue; guard duty; and serving as military forces in time of war.

Levada. Yuri A. Levada is a leading figure of Russian social sciences. In 1967-69 he gave the first course on sociology in the USSR. He is the author of several books and articles on theory and methodology of sociology, sociology of religion and social anthropology, including There is an Opinion! (1990), Articles in Sociology (1993), The Ordinary Soviet Man (1993) and From Opinions to Understanding (2000). During perestroika, Levada founded the All Russian Centre for Public Opinion Research, VTsIOM, and became its director in 1992. Currently he is director of the Russian polling company VTsIOM-A. VTsIOM-A was founded after the Russian authorities changed the structure of the state-owned VTsIOM and replaced Levada with a new director. VTsIOM's polls were considered very reliable. The takeover has been seen as a measure to increase state control over public opinion polls, especially in sensitive issues such as the war in Chechnya and the recent elections. The staff of the company reacted to the takeover by resigning and founding the new, independent VTsIOM-A. Its polling results are available in Russian at http://www.vciom-a.ru/index.html. May 17 Neverending Wars: The Perpetuation of Civil War since 1945. 3:30 PM, Parrington Hall, The Forum (Room 309). Speaker: Ann Hironaka, Assistant Professor of Sociology, University of Minnesota. Dr. Hironaka will address the role of the international system in influencing war and conflict within and between states. Whereas the typical 19th century civil war was a short affair, many contemporary wars drag on and on, never coming to an end. This increase in the duration of civil wars is a historically new phenomenon that has attracted little attention from scholars. She argues that the conventional literature on civil war has failed to understand the crucial role that the international system has played in the creation and maintenance of war-prone states that are susceptible to lengthy civil wars. Sponsored by the International Studies Center and REECAS/JSIS. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please call 206 685-2354 or email tleonard@u.washington.edu May 17 Islam and Democratic Reform in Indonesia: After the 2004 Election. 3:30-5:00 PM, Faculty Club Conference Room. Speaker: Goenawan Mohamad. Indonesia seems to be an oddity for political theorists who see poverty and Islam as being at odds with the creation of a liberal democracy. This republic of 240 million people, 85% of whom are Muslims (making Indonesia the biggest, albeit unrecognized, Muslim country in the world), has the lowest economic growth in the region. Corruption is rampant, violent communal conflicts are still a problem, and the judiciary is often like a series of sick jokes. Yet it has a free media, free elections, and a constitution that guarantees basic human rights. The outcome of the recent election so far promises a more 'secular' trend in the country's politics and a pronounced rejection of 'illiberal' temptations. Writer, editor, activist, poet, for more than 30 years Goenawan Mohamad has set standards for journalists around the world. Mr. Mohamad is founder and Editor of Tempo Magazine, Indonesia's most widely circultated weekly. His magazine was officially banned in 1994, but reopened in October, following the ousting of Indonesian President Suharto. Goenawan Mohamad writes critical remarks on the press, on the massive corruption and lack of human rights and of democratic tradition in Indonesia. His ongoing struggle for freedom of expression has led to the foundation of several new media organizations and made the Indonesian Press one of the most free in Southeast Asia. Co-sponsored by the Simpson Center for the Humanities Critical Asian Studies program. For more information contact the SE Asia Center at 206-543-9606. May 19 2004 Latin American Film Festival: La Ley De Herodes (1999) 123 Min., 3:30 PM, 101 Thomson Hall. Presented by Cynthia Steele, UW Department of Comparative Literature. Directed by Luis Estrada, Mexico. Sundance film festival 2000 - best IberoAmerican film! The mayor of a small town is killed for his greed and abuse of power. The local authorities name Juan Vargas, a janitor and old militant of the party, to take over. Vargas soon discovers the sweet taste of money and corruption, turning into a tyrant willing to do anything to remain in power. Estrada's black comedy about the inevitability of corruption in Mexico tells a blunt tale of a small-town politician from the ruling pri who discovers that graft, extortion and even murder can all pay handsomely. Sponsored by the Latin American Studies Program.

June 4 The Cultural Logics and Political Economy of Transnational Families. 206 Communications Bldg. In conjunction with the event we are organizing an interdisciplinary graduate reading group this quarter. Please see below for the meeting dates, times, and reading selections. All readings can be picked up at the Simpson Center front desk (free of charge) and meetings will be held in the adjoining seminar room, 206 Communications Bldg.. The panel discussions examine both privileged and non-privileged modalities of migration that are entangled in transnational circuits of exchange. Figures such as the transnational adoptee and the migrant domestic worker complicate the registers of race, gender, sexuality, citizenship, and identity formation as well as urge us to rethink this unit called "the family." We will examine in what ways these two particular figures through their constitutive labor within the intimate space of domestic life serve to support and destabilize the heteronormative institutions of family and kinship. The conditions that enable both privileged and exploitative migration illuminate how the state through immigration policies secures the boundaries of the nuclear family as a disciplinary site of governance. Yet, how does ransnational migration enable alternative configurations of familial and kinship relations? The families constituted in the US with the arrival of the transnational adoptee and the families fractured "back home" when mothers leave their own children to work in the homes of privileged families cast into stark light how "the family" and the affective terrain of family life are structured by the greater political economy of human labor, trafficking, and uneven development. Our objective is to explore how the transnational family operates prominently in sexual politics, citizenship rights, and immigration policies. Morning Panel: 10:00 12 noon. Patrolling the Borders of Reproductive Sexuality and Family Life. Panelists: Eithne Luibheid, Dept of Ethnic Studies, Bowling Green University and Melissa W. Wright, Dept. of Geography, Penn State University. Afternoon Panel 1:30-3:30 PM. Multicultural Logics of Transnational Adoption.
