Uyghur Music in Chinese History
Thursday, April 05, 2018
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Bunche Hall 10383, UCLA
Talk by Chuen-Fung Wong, Macalester College
The modern writing of Chinese music history from the mid-twentieth century on is marked by a keen awareness of musical multiculturalism that seeks to integrate the music of “minority” ethnicities into a national music history that is profoundly concerned at once with a chronological sense of linear continuity and the dearth of living musical sounds from the ancient past. Performing traditions from these outlying places and peoples thus entered Chinese history at a time when music began to be conceived primarily as sound formations rather than merely as symbolic systems for imperial rituals or as aesthetic tools for moral indoctrination. In this talk, I am concerned with how modern Chinese music historiography has relied on the assimilation of “minority” musical otherness in its own making. My examples come primarily from the music of the Uyghur and, often indiscriminately, the broader Central Asian or Chinese northwestern borderlands, both in the past and the present. I suggest that, by supplying audible musical sounds to a Chinese music history that would otherwise be largely silent and monolithic, Uyghur and other “minority” music traditions, as framed in the multiculturalist narrative, have assumed a major role in the modern formation of Chinese musical identity.
Chuen-Fung Wong is Associate Professor and Chair of Music at Macalester College, Minnesota, where he teaches courses in world music, ethnomusicology, and Chinese music. His publications on the music of the Uyghur in northwest China have addressed issues ranging from musical modernity and minority nationalism to cultural revival and musical exoticism. He also performs and directs ensembles of traditional chamber Chinese instrumental music in both Hong Kong and Minneapolis-St. Paul, and is editor and co-author of Listening to Chinese Music (2009) and The Chinese Soundscapes (2018). Wong completed his PhD degree in ethnomusicology at UCLA in 2006 under the tutelage of Prof. Helen Rees.

2018 CCA Spring Conference
Here's the stupendous lineup of great sessions that will be available at CCA Spring Conference: •On Friday night, we will present the CCA Membership Awards to 10 hardworking chapters.
•On Saturday morning, bright and early at 8 am, we will have a thought-provoking General Session on Dreamer students and DACA. Our presenters are Kent Wong and Hugo Romero, both from the UCLA Labor Center.
•Our focus on the “Janus” case and Fair Share will begin with a General Session on Saturday at 9 am. We will hear about how good strategies and good plans will help us deal with the potential loss of Fair Share.
•The General Session will be followed by two Janus break-out sessions: one on planning our local responses and the other on the critical issue of reaching part-time faculty to include them in union membership in a post-Janus world.
•Alan Frey will hold a Grievance Academy Reunion to revisit the Academy issues.
•We will also have sessions on Politics in Higher Education, the June Primary and Using Social Media for Advocacy.
•Our Saturday Lunch session will focus on Advocacy in Sacramento, with a Nuts and Bolts panel discussion of legislation and how to do advocacy.
•Our very own CCA Board member and philosophy faculty member, Johnnie Terry, will present a session on professional ethics with Jennifer Sunshine Kattman. This is an area which is often a stumbling block for unions.
•On retirement, we will hear from our engaging CalSTRS speaker, Michael Lynch.
• Finally, Alan will also do a General Session on “Hot Topics.” This is always an eye-opener – you never know what has happened in the last few months!
And, of course, we will be holding elections for two officer seats and a number of our CCA Board positions.
On Saturday night, join us for our reception-- with photos, music and fun -- before our exciting WHO Awards banquet. Wear your tux and ball gown ... or your jeans and T-shirt! We will have the fabulous band Milpa with us to share their rhythms. Bring your dancing shoes! Then enjoy the experience of hearing about our impressive chapter leaders. It''''s called We Honor Ours and that''''s what we do on this exciting evening.
Finally on Sunday morning, you will have a chance to weigh in on the important issues of the day. We will present our policies, legislative positions and state level initiatives as we spend a little time together at the CCA Council.
The 2018 CCA Spring Conference begins with registration on Friday, April 20 at 3:00pm and concludes on Sunday April 22 at 12:00pm.

WEBINAR March 26 | Metric Simplification Initiative
Dear Colleagues:
We are all aware of the many initiative/performance metrics at play in the California Community Colleges (CCC). Understanding, tracking, responding to, and reporting these various metrics have been difficult at best. In response to the metrics-related concerns expressed by our CCC colleagues, Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley has initiated an effort to integrate, simplify and align these various metrics. The initiative, led by Visiting Vice Chancellor Omid Pourzanjani, will be conducted through a series of meetings with a representative advisory group to ensure that ample input from the colleges will guide the preparation and recommendation of a simplified set of metrics to the Chancellor's Office. The fundamental approach for this work is outlined below:
1. The focus will be strictly on students and their educational journeys from recruitment to completion, not on functional divisions, grants, funding sources, etc.
2. The outcome will be a simplified set of metrics drillable for details. This set of metrics will displace all other student-specific metrics (except for federal metrics such as Perkins)
3. Equity will not be viewed as a separate activity; instead it will be observed across all metrics. Therefore each metric will be drillable by gender, age, ethnicity, first-gen, SES, etc.
4. Metrics will be broken into three categories: access (input), practices (process), and student outcomes (output). Alignment with Guided Pathways and Completion by Design frameworks will also be considered.
5. Number of recommended metrics will be limited to ensure that we focus only on critical measures.
6. Each metric will be closely reviewed to ensure it is valid, viable, drillable, measurable, and critical.
7. An implementation/transition plan will be created for when each metric in the set can be put into production and which ones need legislative work. Extensive analysis and modeling of data will be performed before the presentation of the implementation/transition plan.
Schedule Of Activities
A tentative schedule for the activities is outlined below:
April 23 - Final meeting with the statewide working group
April 30 at 10:00 a.m. - Third statewide webinar
April 30 - Final report delivered to the Chancellor's Cabinet
A whitepaper will be prepared before each working group meeting to provide background on critical issues to the participants. It will include such information as an inventory of existing and legislated metrics, syntheses of national efforts to create statewide community college metrics, and guidelines for developing a set of recommended metrics. The first whitepaper has been published and shared publicly along with related information.
Webinar Participation Info
To attend any of the three statewide webinars, please use the following participant information. The same information is valid for all three webinar dates:
Meeting Title: Metric Simplification Initiative
Time: 10 a.m. - 11 a.m.
Join from PC, Mac, iOS or Android: http://cccconfer.org/GoToMeeting?SeriesID=508710b4-64ea-4985-8eb4-2f8ee0ce0bd4

What We Are Looking For
This year’s conference theme is Mentoring, Coaching, and Leadership for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Innovation and entrepreneurship exist throughout every field of study.

We are interested in hosting presentations based on the topics of mentoring, coaching, and leadership, within the following strands: entrepreneurship, business, STEM (science, technology, engineering, & mathematics), education, arts, humanities, health sciences, and others. We seek proposals that accomplish the following:
Build on the knowledge base of existing literature in the field of developmental relationships
Demonstrate the effectiveness of existing mentoring programs
Propose a methodology or evaluation model for developmental relationships
Suggest new ideas and best practices for successful developmental relationships
Promote diversity, inclusion, and cross-cultural relationships
Introduce concepts and ideas to promote and develop innovative and entrepreneurial practices
Presentation Requirements
Presenters in the 2018 conference must meet the following requirements for their session (please read these carefully, as they are mandatory for all presenters):
Individual/Panel Sessions
Presentation: Presenters are assigned a 45-minute slot; we suggest a TED Talk format for the first 30 minutes of the presentation, 10 minutes for Q&A, and 5 minutes for the session's evaluation.
