    Re:Work presents "Disclose! Divest!: Behind the Fight Over College Endowments" (from Making Contact)

    We’re closing out the year with an episode from our friends at Making Contact: As graduation approached this year, students around the country began protests after calls for divestment from Israel were initially ignored by university leadership. The campus encampments were met with physical violence and the mainstream press dismissed the students’ demands as naive and immature. But, it turns out that there’s a lot we should be asking about college endowments. We take a look at what an endowment is and how they’re invested. Then we learn why transparency around the endowment (and divestment!) might actually benefit the entire college community. We talk to Kelly Grotke, a financial researcher from Pattern Recognition, a research collective focused on financialized higher education. And, with Andrea Pritchett, we look at the links between the encampments today, and those from the 80s, when students protested South African Apartheid.

    A Beautiful Kind of Foundation

    We are approaching the 60th anniversary of the UCLA Labor Center, and we are celebrating - both how far we’ve come and where we’re going next! In honor of our anniversary, in this episode we’re sharing insights and memories from our colleagues about their work and evolving connections to the UCLA Labor Center, which they were all introduced to as students. We end with a powerful speech by a recent UCLA Labor Studies graduate. This episode will be the first track in our 60th Anniversary mixtape coming out in September.

    Re:Work and the IRLE Present "Labor Studies 101"

    It’s back-to-school season, and we’re sharing a recording of "Labor Studies 101" from our archives at the IRLE, the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment. In this episode, our IRLE director, Toby Higbie, interviews Kent Wong, our previous long time director of the UCLA Labor Center. Toby and Kent talk about the history of the Los Angeles labor movement and what makes it so unique; Kent’s personal background and what brought him to activism; the connections between the labor movement and nonviolent philosophy; hopes for the future; and so much more. The class was recorded in the spring of 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic and as we were headed into a presidential election — so there are layers of history baked into this episode.

    Radical Therapy

    In a fast-paced society that often privileges work, wealth, and individual success, where there isn’t always time or space to process, how can we do social justice oriented work while taking care of ourselves? In Radical Therapy, we speak with Claudia Morales, an LA-based therapist whose work exists at the intersection of social justice and mental health. Claudia shares her journey to developing a radical approach to therapy, one that centers community and emphasizes connection — to one other, to ourselves, to ancestral wisdom, to the Earth, to storytelling and art, and much more. To learn more about Claudia’s work, visit socialjusticehealing.com. Or find her on Instagram @socialjusticehealing.

    Remembering Rev. James Lawson Jr. - Soul Force Part II

    Rev. James Lawson Jr. passed away on June 9, 2024. Rev. Lawson was one of the civil rights movement’s most prominent leaders and a lifelong advocate of nonviolence, soul force. He co-taught a UCLA labor studies class on nonviolence for over 20 years with our previous labor center director Kent Wong, and our building, the UCLA James Lawson Jr. Worker Justice Center, is named in his honor. As we remember Rev. Lawson and process this deep loss for our community, we are sharing our episode Soul Force Part II, in which Rev. Lawson reflects on his memories of the civil rights movement, including the profound impact of losing his friend Martin Luther King Jr. and other leaders fighting for justice. He emphasizes the importance of embracing nonviolent struggle for a better world. In 1974, Rev. Lawson moved to Los Angeles and played a pivotal role in infusing nonviolence into the Los Angeles labor movement. He has shaped decades of organizing in labor and immigrant rights, and inspired generations of students and activists. We feel the profound impact of losing Rev. Lawson, and he will be deeply missed. Let us carry on his memory, his teachings of love and soul force, and continue his work for a more just world.

    Re:Work presents "Reclaiming, part 1: Home is Little Tokyo" (from State of the Human)

    It’s Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and we’re sharing an episode about gentrification in Little Toyko from State of the Human, a podcast of the Stanford Storytelling Project. Little Tokyo is a small neighborhood in Downtown Los Angeles. Since 1905, it has been home to generations of Japanese Americans. Today, gentrification is threatening to destroy everything these families have built. This episode tells the story of one community's struggle for survival and the ways in which historical development has both fractured and solidified its people. For some, home is a bed one sleeps in. For us, home is Little Tokyo. This episode was produced by Leah Chase with the Stanford Storytelling Project.
