Crossing borders: Citizenship, Social Justice, and the Crossroads of Culture
Every day, people of color are crossing borders, building communities, and forging new possibilities in increasingly hostile conditions. In this context, citizenship, social justice, and culture take on new meaning, particularly as our nation (and especially the state of California) undergoes dramatic demographic and political transformations.
This conference is the second in a series organized by the Ethnic Studies programs at UC Berkeley, University of Southern California, and UC San Diego. The event is organized around the work of Ph.D. students at each of the sponsoring programs. Both advanced and beginning graduate students are invited to apply with individual paper proposals (1 page). Faculty at the three institutions will serve as panel chairs and discussants, and we will seek to ensure that each session has representation from multiple campuses. In keeping with the theme of the conference, we especially invite papers and presentations that speak critically to questions of citizenship, social justice, and/or culture.

Empire to Nation
Deutz Room, Copley Conference Center, Institute of the Americas Complex, UCSD
The underlying premise of this conference is the observation that at the beginning of the nineteenth century, empire was the world's most common form of large-scale political organization, but by the end of the twentieth century, empires had essentially disappeared, and in most cases sovereignty was invested in the nation-state. In order to understand this large historical transformation, we will focus especially on the most long-lasting of the nineteenth-century empires: the Chinese (specifically the Qing), Russian, Hapsburg, Ottoman, and Spanish. We are concerned with the specific modalities of imperial rule, both the cultural forms and the institutional arrangements. In examining factors shaping the transition from empire to nation we are interested in the different opportunity structures, political consciousness and identity, and the international environment. Taking exception to nationalist historiographies that treat the emergence of the nation as a natural and inevitable process, this conference is particularly interested in considering the contingencies involved: the strategies of political elites, the participation of subalterns, the borders of the new state, the legacies of empire, the forms of the new state, and roads not taken.
