This book develops from the position that the colonization of Palestine - like other imperial and settler colonial projects - cannot be understood outside the grammar of race. "Race and the Question of Palestine" (Stanford University Press, 2025) explores how race operates as a technology of power and colonial rule, a political and economic structure, a set of legal and discursive practices, and a classificatory system.

2026 is the year! Users of the Astrophysics Data System (ADS) will be transitioned over to the astrophysics instance of Science Explorer (SciX). For years, the Astrophysics Data System has served researchers in the fields of astronomy and physics. Recognizing the value of this portal, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and NASA have developed SciX (Science Explorer) as the future portal for scientific information literature and discovery. Expanding from physics and astronomy, SciX serves all fields of NASA research, including astronomy, earth science, heliophysics, physics and planetary science. A one-stop-shop, SciX links publications to their associated preprints, data, software and other author or publisher provided information. This workshop will outline the importance of SciX as a unifying interdisciplinary database and provide participants with an overview of how to navigate its many powerful features, including search features specific to the fields this portal supports. Insructor: Hannah Sutherland

Join us for a Book Celebration and Reception for: BIBLIOTACTICS: Libraries and the Colonial Public in Vietnam Libraries in French colonial Vietnam functioned as symbols of Western modernity and infrastructures of colonial knowledge. Yet Vietnamese readers pursued alternative uses of the library that exceeded imperial intentions. Bibliotactics examines the Hanoi and Saigon state libraries from colonial to post colonial Vietnam, uncovering the emergence of a colonial public who reimagined the political meaning and social space of the library through public critique and day-to-day-practice. This event is hosted by the UCLA School of Education & Information Studies, UCLA Center for Southeast Asian Studies and UCLA DataX.

Scholarly identity is about more than the articles you publish or the projects you share online with your research communities. Scholarly identity includes the many parts of your history and engagement as a researcher, including your education, employment, awards, collaborators and more – and it exists whether you are the one curating it or not. Taking control of your scholarly identity supports your visibility, credibility and transparency as a researcher and plays a crucial role in open scholarly communication. This workshop will cover the importance and impact of creating and managing your scholarly identity with tools like ORCID and Google Scholar, as well as how these tools connect with other network and profile platforms. Other options like Twitter and ResearchGate will also be explored. Instructor: Jason Burton

When sharing data, researchers are often told be “as open as possible, as closed as necessary”. But what does this actually mean? How can researchers ensure their data complies with funder and publisher requirements and mandates while respecting data sovereignty, self-determination and privacy? Is “FAIR data” (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) the same thing as “open data”? This workshop will delve into these difficult questions and discuss how pairing the technical framework of FAIR Principles and the ethical framework of CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance can help ensure responsible stewardship of your research data.

This conference will gather a group of leading scholars to see where scholarship about the Revolution is on its 250th anniversary. Through their own research, they’ll address the many and exciting ways we’ve come to rethink this important event, including its broader continental and even global reach, and its racial and ideological underpinnings. Unlike a traditional academic conference, however, these talks will be addressed to a mostly non-academic audience of students and members of the public. In doing so, we hope to show non-scholars new ways historians are currently thinking about the meaning of this seminal event in U.S. and world history.
