"Unless You're Immigration Police": The Ethical Dilemmas of Informed Consent in a Mixed-Status Workplace
Joyhanna Yoo Garza
Graduate Student in âLinguistics
In this presentation, Joyhanna will reflect on the ways in which immigrant workers refused or negotiated research participation through linguistic resources and embodied practices throughout the course of an ethnographic project. She will discuss how she responded to the ethical limitations of the written consent form and how participation was a constantly negotiated practice: a combination of participant agency and researcher ethnosensitivity (Alim 2004). She will also take up the concept of refusal - as theorized by Mohawk scholar Audra Simpson (2007) - as a way to make visible invisibilized limits, and ultimately a productive framework for understanding the ethical and epistemic limits of her project.
High Contrast Imaging with Microwave Kinetic Inductor Detectors
âClint Bockstiegel
Graduate Student in Physics
Clint will be discussing the field of astronomical high contrast imaging and his group's efforts to directly image exoplanets and debris disks. He will give an overview of the methods and tools he used to achieve high contrast at small angular separations, including adaptive optics, coronography, and detector development.
This event will be moderated byâ ââRobert Hamm, the Assistant Dean of the Graduate Division at UCSB.
