WELCOM
We are grateful to have you at this year’s conference! Because the Critical Ethnic Studies Association is a young organization, it is important to us that we create a space that will build the relationships to ensure this work continues in collective and sustainable formations. Our theme this year - Decolonizing Intellectual Legacies and Activist Practices - places great value in rethinking existing political practices as the very means by which we can begin to articulate the kinds of legacies they produce. This conference is a space for us to imagine futures beyond such legacies through a sustainable practice of decolonization. Decolonizing Intellectual Legacies and Activist Practices interrogates the limits of Ethnic Studies today and the ways coloniality might continue to constrain the radical potential of Critical Ethnic Studies. CESA’s second conference aims to develop an approach to scholarship, institution building, and activism that is animated by the spirit of the decolonial, antiracist, and other global liberationist movements that enabled the creation of Ethnic Studies (Asian American Studies, Black Studies, Native American Studies, Arab-American Studies, Latino/a Studies, and Postcolonial Studies) and that continues to inform its political and intellectual projects. An un-disciplinary formation, Critical Ethnic Studies sees decolonizing as a set of ongoing theories, practices, imaginaries, and methods in the service of abolishing global oppression. Thus, rather than focusing exclusively on critique, critical ethnic studies stands for decolonizing as a generative praxis of world-making. CESA thanks members of the Chicago Conference Organizing Committee and the Institute For Research on Race and Public Policy at The University of Illinois at Chicago, the gracious hosts and strategic minds behind this year’s conference. For their co-sponsorship at the University of Illinois at Chicago, we thank Latin American and Latino Studies, African American Studies, the African American Cultural Center, the Latino Cultural Center, the Jane Adams Hull House Museum, the Social Justice Initiative, and the Great Cities Institute. We are thrilled that you are here with us. We hope that this space is an open dialogue driven by the desire for accountability. We look forward to continuing this work with you.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Indigenous Land Statement CESA acknowledges that our gathering takes place on indigenous lands and that the space of the nation-state is made possible because of genocide, settler colonialism, and forced migration. We hope that everyone at this conference will actively engage in a discussion of this acknowledgement both here and after leaving this space.
Family Break Space
On Gender Pronouns Our conference is a gender queer space that advocates for conference participants and attendees to not assume the gender or sexual orientation of others. CESA supports and strongly advocates that folks are able to introduce themselves by expressing their preferred gender pronouns and asking others what gender pronouns they go by.
Accessibility
We welcome families to our conference and we have provided a space for families and children to rest and hang out.
UIC is an accessible space and CESA is committed to making the conference accessible to all participants. We are happy to assist with any questions or concerns that may arise. Please refer to the registration table for information and requests.
For Social Media Users We invite all social media users to engage the ideas and thoughtprovoking dialogues that are heard during the conference by tweeting with the hashtag #cesa2013 . We welcome your perspectives and constructive criticisms and only ask that commentary be respectful. Here are a few suggestions that can help make these meta-conversations more productive and synergistic:
• •
Ask the speakers for their twitter handles before the talk commences. This way, you’re inviting dialogue and contribution from the speakers, and everyone can keep track of the conversation. If a speaker does not have a twitter handle, try to identify them clearly and make sure that you are quoting them correctly. This keeps the conversation accurate and integral.
CESA 2015 York University, Toronto (14-17 May) Sovereignties and Colonialisms: Surviving Racism, Extraction and Dispossession In December 2012, four women sparked the most recent movement to honour Indigenous sovereignty and protect the environment. They named the exploitation of Indigenous land and resources as the source of state and corporate wealth, and referred to the “interconnections of race, gender, sexuality, class and other identity constructions in ongoing oppression” of Indigenous people (http://www. idlenomore.ca/story). This third conference of the Critical Ethnic Studies Association aims to continue the critique of toxic industries and “industrial complexes” (academic, nonprofit, prison, psychiatric, medical, arts, etc.) by shedding light on exploitation and expropriation, and by examining the institutions, methods and molds that comprise globalized imperialist capitalism, including anti-oppression movements themselves. This call is premised on the need for Indigenous decolonization, and invites a focus on a range of struggles within this context, including food, water and seed sovereignty, struggles between postcolonial state sovereignties and imperialist sovereignties, liberation of racialized groups and other non-state nations, and the implications of economies of race, gender, sexuality and disability in all of these. Acknowledging the forerunning work of Indigenous feminists, migrant feminists and feminists of colour, we would like to open up space for further interconnections at the heart of critical ethnic studies, including disabled Indigenous and disabled people of colour perspectives, and two-spirit and trans/queer of colour perspectives. We are interested in facilitating abolitionist and decolonizing conversations on various industrial formations, including the academic industrial complex, in the face of permanent precarity, extraction and exploitation, unequal divisions of labour, risks and benefits, and the uneven institutionalization of liberation movements through programs around gender, sexuality, disability, environmentalism, multiculturalism and Indigeneity. We aim to provide a space where resistance and oppression can be thought transnationally (including outside the US and in the global south), in ways that attend to the travels and cross-fertilizations of racist and colonial methods in various geopolitical contexts and regimes, such as settler-colonialism, occupation and apartheid; race and coloniality in the global south; globalized travels of antiblackness; colonialism and development; and confinement, border fortification and global wars on terror. We welcome your thoughts and engagements!

Chicago Abortion Fund The Chicago Abortion Fund (CAF) fights to overturn economic barriers to reproductive choice. Through direct service, CAF assists women in obtaining safe abortion services. In partnership with the women we serve, CAF engages and mobilizes low-income and poor women to become advocates for expanded reproductive access. Centro Autónomo Located in Albany Park, Chicago, one of the nation’s most diverse urban neighborhoods, the Autonomous Center is an experiment in community building among largely Spanish speaking immigrants. English classes, a computer center, a literacy program, movie nights, and cultural events are all organized by and for members of the community. Small work groups are developing domestic worker and construction cooperatives, an alternative health program, and a legal clinic. Give Us A Kiss I value art that is accessible and community-based. I am interested in the way art can create empathy across different communities of people and how we can organize meaning from shared experiences. A Long Walk Home Founded in 2003, A Long Walk Home, Inc. (ALWH) is a 501 (c) non-profit that uses art therapy and the visual and performing arts to end violence against girls and women. ALWH features the testimonies and art by survivors and their allies in order to provide safe and entertaining forums through which the public can learn about healing from and preventing gender violence. Know Your Rights Project, Children and Family Justice Center The Know Your Rights Project (KYR) engages youth in conflict with the law on juvenile justice issues by centering young peoples' perspectives and leadership on justice for youth and families.

We will present, through a petition, distribution of fliers and other documents, the creative collective ways students and faculty support one another at UIC. Participants at the conference will also have a chance to support current and future local and national organizing efforts. Sage Community Health Collective Sage is a worker-owned health collective of three health and healing practitioners who have dedicated our lives to social justice, community building, and healing. With years of collective experience as activists, we have born witness to fatigue and burnout among our colleagues and ourselves. This has inspired us to begin the process of healing ourselves as we strive to facilitate healing in others. Students for Justice in Palestine SJP tables to inform people of the local as well as the national level in the struggle for Palestinian liberation and human rights. We will inform you of our upcoming national conference and about our advocacy for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement.

Doctoral Program in African American Studies at Northwestern University The interdisciplinary doctoral program in African American Studies seeks to advance critical understandings of the central role that race plays in structuring lives, spaces, relations of power, and subjectivities within modern social formations. The department considers different manifestations of blackness as well as other forms of racialized identity across the globe from historical, theoretical, and perspectives. In honor of the diverse, transnational, anti-racist, and anti-colonial movements that helped to create a space for Black Studies within the academy and that have inspired the faculty’s scholarly and political visions, we do not limit ourselves to analyzing black-white tensions or spaces that exist only within the geo-political boundaries of the United States. The members of the faculty, therefore, Þnd it imperative to examine the black experience within complex global processes of racial ordering in the Americas, Europe, Africa, the PaciÞc, and Asia. This requires dedicating critical attention to the complex relationship between anti-black racism, xenophobia, settler colonialism, and imperialism; and, in the U.S., to the experiences of other non-white and non-European groups such as Native Americans, Latinos/as, Asian Americans, PaciÞc Islanders, and Arab Americans. Thus, the department views Black Studies as both a signiÞcant critique of western modernity and as offering essential social, political, and cultural alternatives to our current order.

The National Association for Ethnic Studies congratulates the Critical Ethnic Studies Association on its 3rd conference and invites you to continue the conversation! NAES 2014 Conference: "RESEARCH AS CEREMONY: DECOLONIZING ETHNIC STUDIES" Ethnic Studies today is threatened by the corporatization of the university and co-option by neo-liberal, "post-racial," "post-feminist" rhetoric. The 2014 National Association for Ethnic Studies conference seeks to restore and renew our critical purpose and commitment to self-determination, social justice and intersectional praxis. We as scholars, activists, tribal leaders, grassroots organizers, and community-based organizations see research justice as a critical, intersectional praxis that can unlock the power and knowledge of our own communities both within and outside of academia. The sacredness of research as a ceremony calls upon each of us to foster solidarity, relational ethics, and counter-hegemonic knowledges and models of resistance. In this spirit, we envision NAES 2014 as ceremony, an interdisciplinary space of struggle and solidarity where academia, politics, community, arts, spirituality and culture converge. We will convene a national Ethnic Studies Congress followed by Talking Circles and Teach-Ins for the presentation and exchange of ideas, research, and knowledge among community based organizers, scholars, tribal leaders, youth leaders, policy makers, and others. Look for a call for participation in the coming weeks and please save the dates for April 10-13, 2014 in Oakland, California.
