Part of the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences Speaker: Takao Sasaki, associate professor in the Brain and Cognitive Sciences, University of Rochester Social animals—from insect colonies to human groups—often make decisions without centralized control, relying on local interactions to produce coordinated collective outcomes. However, we still know little about the circumstances under which groups make better (or worse) decisions than individuals. To address this question, Takao Sasaki's research applies concepts and methods from psychology to both individuals and groups, allowing him to directly compare their cognitive abilities. Using ants and homing pigeons as model systems, Sasaki will discuss (1) how rock ant colonies avoid making irrational decisions, (2) how fire ants collectively build self-assembled pontoon bridges, and (3) how homing pigeons improve their homing routes through the accumulation of knowledge. He will also briefly introduce a new research direction that his lab has recently started investigating: collective animal learning.

@ Join in a peer-led discussion on a spooky book for Halloween. This month’s title is “The Secret History,” by Donna Tartt. Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality they slip gradually from obsession to corruption and betrayal, and at last—inexorably—into evil.

Part of: Archive Television Treasures In person: Q&A with actor Sharon Gless, executive producer Barney Rosenzweig. Made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment Cagney & Lacey aired on CBS from 1982–1988, immediately elevating the episodic police genre with its remarkable style and substance. Starring Tyne Daly as Mary Beth Lacey and Sharon Gless as Christine Cagney, the show, throughout its tenure, received numerous Emmy nominations and several awards honoring its lead performers, writers, directors and the series itself. Accompanied by an outstanding supporting cast, Daly and Gless triumph as detective partners and best friends who navigate the ethics and perils of law enforcement and confront the complexities of 1980s feminist politics through the microcosm of the New York City police force. Writing partners Barbara Avedon and Barbara Corday, and executive producer Barney Rosenzweig, were moved to action by Molly Haskell’s book, From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in the Movies, and Haskell’s critique of the film industry’s refusal to take seriously women “buddy” pictures. Cagney & Lacey was first conceived of as a feature film script in 1974. CBS initially produced the material in 1981 as a television movie; after many fits and starts, in 1982 the series was launched. From its inception, the show generated debate and controversy around the representation of women on television and the series’ commitment to grounding storylines in topical subjects including abortion, alcoholism, rape, sexual harassment and criminal justice. While CBS executives were threatened by the concept of a dramatic series centered on two women detectives, a strong and dedicated female viewership was vocal in its appreciation for long overdue complex women characters. Join us for a celebration of Cagney & Lacey with series stars Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless and executive producer Barney Rosenzweig in person. Following the screening, there will be a conversation moderated by Archive Research and Study Center Officer Maya Montañez Smukler. Update: Please note that Tyne Daly is no longer able to join for this program. Program notes by Archive Research and Study Center Officer Maya Montañez Smukler.

On the 100th anniversary of John Coltrane’s birth year, The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music’s global jazz studies program will celebrate this giant of the saxophone, this jazz innovator and spiritual/artistic icon of the Black Arts Movement, this patron saint of avant garde. This symposium will honor Coltrane in words. The keynote address will be delivered by  Archbishop Franzo King, co-founder of the Saint John Coltrane African Orthodox Church. The keynote address in addition to remarks by the archbishop will feature music from members of the church. Symposium Schedule Opening remarks Salim Washington   Panel 1 (2:10 pm) Moderator Steve Loza Andy Beta, “Infinity as Autobiography”: Alice Coltrane’s Reimagining of John Coltrane’s Late Recordings” Beta examines the critical reception of Alice Coltrane’s Infinity recording, and the ways in which the recording reflected upon her development as an artist. Nadia Milad Issa, “Saint Coltrane, the Dance Eulogy, and the Spirit Veil, ‘A Love Supreme’ as Ancestral Mediation”. This paper positions Coltrane’s canonization b the St. John Coltrane church not as an isolated action of Bay Area devotion but as a template for choreographic and religious practice alike: testimony converted into ritual, grief converted into repeated form. Martin Hundley, “Alice Coltrane, Sound of Free Universe: Performance Practice, Technology, and Feminist Epistemology” This paper explores the ways in which Alice Coltrane’s musical sound and instrumental performance practice expresses the complexity of her identity, world view, spirituality, and travels, both geographically and temporally. Hundley employs and ethnographic and musicological approach to Coltrane’s recording Translinear Light.   Special Guest Speaker (3:40 pm)     Panel 2 (3:50 p.m.) Moderator Regina Carter-Garnett Scott B. Spencer, “Meme and Variations: How Video Mashups of John Coltrane’s ‘Giant Steps’ Became a Thing” The intent of this study is to explore John Coltrane’s online legacy, use it to expand our field’s toolset to better deal with digital texts, and to tease out their various cultural contexts. Aaron J. Johnson, “Africa/Brass and the Communal Experience of Engaging the Music of John Coltrane” With the vision of Reggie Workman and Charles Tolliver Africa/Brass has afforded the uncommon opportunity for musicians to communally share the experience of performing Coltrane’s music and invoking his spirit. John-Carlos Perea, “Versions as Relations: Naima, John Coltrane, and Jim Pepper” This paper considers the original 1959 recording of “Naima” and the subsequent versioning of it by Jim Pepper as a sonification through which to amplify Pepper’s relationship to Coltrane via Pepper’s experiences through Southern Plains Intertribal powwow musical practices.   Keynote Address (5:20 pm) Archbishop Franzo King and members of the African Orthodox Church of John Coltrane “The Continued Relevance of John Coltrane” Theodore A. Harris, Coltrane’s Thunderclap, 1998, paper collage. 11X17in   ABOUT THE ART WORK Theodore A. Harris, Coltrane’s Thunderclap. 1998, paper collage, 11×17 in. Theodore A.

Join us for the first of six workshops as part of the Modal Interchange: Conversations on 21st-Century Performance Practices series with Vicki Ray, a Los Angeles based composer and pianist, who will join Wendy Richman in a conversation about concert programming and commissioning new works. Concert Curation IS Composition! Every musician presenting a concert is: a composer! In this talk I’ll explore different ways to think about concert programming and how the works you program constitute a meta-composition. Using musical examples I’ll explore the way connections between worlds – musical and otherwise – can create fresh, interesting juxtapositions that challenge (and hopefully delight!) the performer as well as the listener. Folded into this approach is the opportunity to commission new works that can tie previously unrelated pieces together and expand the repertoire of our instrument. Bio Described as “phenomenal and fearless” Vicki Ray is a pianist, improviser and composer. She has commissioned and premiered countless new works by today’s leading composers. Ray is a founding member of Piano Spheres and was, for many years, the head of keyboard studies at the California Institute of the Arts where she was named the first recipient of the Hal Blaine Chair in Musical Performance. She has appeared on numerous international festivals and was a regular member of the faculty at the Bang On a Can Summer Festival at MASS MoCA. Ray has been featured on the Los Angeles Philharmonic Green Umbrella Series as soloist and collaborative artist. Her widely varied performing and recording career covers the gamut of new and old music: from Boulez to Reich, Wadada Leo Smith to Beethoven. Notable recordings include the first Canadian disc of Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire with the Blue Rider Ensemble, the premiere recordings of Steve Reich’s You Are (Variations) and the Daniel Variations with the Los Angeles Master Chorale and the first recording of John Cage’s Europeras 3 and 4. Her recording of Cage’s The Ten Thousand Things on Microfest Records received 2013 Grammy nomination. Vicki can also be seen playing the chromelodeon in the Los Angeles based PARTCH ensemble. Vicki Ray is a Steinway artist. More about Modal Interchange: Conversations on 21st-Century Performance Practices The personality of Los Angeles’s new music scene mirrors its city’s culture and geography as a whole: equal parts diversity and decentralization, in a battle for recognition and relevance that crisscrosses 650 freeway miles. The Modal Interchange series casts a wide net around LA’s new music community, hosting a diverse group of individuals who might not otherwise share the same artistic and academic spaces, in a series of lecture-workshops geared to an audience of performers. Modal Interchange is a series of six workshops through 2026-27. Each workshop focuses on an element of 21st-century performing, programming, and music-making in the world of contemporary music, with special focus on the topics’ relevance in greater LA: histories of experimental music and the avant-garde, commissioning new works, concert programming, listening as an audience member, listening as a performer, score-reading and part-marking, learning and practicing contemporary works, improvisation practices, and arts activism. This series is conceived and hosted by violist Wendy Richman and produced in partnership with the UCLA Center for Musical Humanities. Dr. Richman is Lecturer in Performance Studies, Director of uclaFLUX, and a founding member of the International Contemporary Ensemble.

Hosted by April Lawson of Insight Debate & Dialogue in partnership with the My Robot Teacher podcast, this high-energy, participatory debate invites attendees to explore a timely and potentially contentious question facing higher education. There will be no slate of experts at the front of the room. Instead, everyone present will have the opportunity to contribute. You are welcome to speak, listen, or simply take in the conversation. The goal is not necessarily to reach agreement, but to bring different perspectives into the open and engage thoughtfully across disagreement. Closer to the event, registrants will be invited to complete a brief survey to help select the specific resolution we’ll debate. Resolutions include statements such as “Higher education has become transactional rather than transformative” or “AI will do more harm than good in higher education.” Once selected, the final resolution will be announced and shared broadly in advance. This free event is open to Learning Lab's INSPIRE convening attendees and the broader UCLA/Los Angeles higher education community, including students, faculty and administrators, and other interested guests. No special expertise or preparation is required. Participants will come away with a model for a classroom, meeting, or town-hall ready format for discussing hot button topics in a constructive, meaningful, engaging, and safe way. Seats are limited: Advance RSVP is requested.

Huib Schippers argues that the history of ethnomusicology shows an organic development towards public-facing work, and discusses the skill sets needed in the field to improve lives through music. Abstract: An interesting thing happened to ethnomusicology on its way to the 21st century. While beginnings in the 1800s kept it carefully away from direct interaction with the people who make music, culture and context became increasingly important in the second half of the 20th century. Towards 2000, an awareness had dawned that the musicians we work with and their communities perhaps should be at the center of our efforts. This first manifested as “giving back” research outputs (such as recordings) to the community, and later expanded into working with communities on an equal footing to serve their agendas in and through music. In this talk, I will argue that this very short history constitutes an organic development towards public-facing work, and discuss how applied ethnomusicologists require new skill sets to engage successfully with an exciting range of contemporary applied work in the realms of social justice, health, institutions, media, cultural sustainability and crisis recovery. Bio: Huib Schippers is one of the world’s leading scholars on the crossroads of music education, community music, music industry, cultural diversity, and sustainability. In over three decades of leadership roles in arts and academia, he founded the World Music School in Amsterdam (1990-1996), the World Music & Dance Centre in Rotterdam (2001-2006), and Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre in Australia (2003-2015). Next, he directed Smithsonian Folkways Recordings (2016-2020), served as UC Regents’ Professor at UCLA (2022) and as Visiting Professor at CCOM in Beijing (2023). In 2025, he was proclaimed Distinguished Changjiang Professor and became Founding Director of the International Centre for Cultural Sustainability at Zhaoqing University in China. Schippers has initiated applied projects on five continents and published over 200 publications for scholarly and general audiences, mostly on cultural diversity, artistic research, systems of learning, and cultural sustainability, including Facing the Music: Shaping Music Education from a Global Perspective (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010); Sustainable Futures for Music Cultures (OUP, 2016) and Music, Communities, Sustainability (OUP, 2022). https://huibschippers.org/

Part of Ryusuke Hamaguchi: Early Works Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Yanai Initiative When Drive My Car won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film in 2022, on top of being the first Japanese film ever nominated for Best Picture, it may have appeared to many as if its director, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, had come out of nowhere to accomplish such a feat. Still others may have known him as the director of the four-hour tour-de-force relationship drama, Happy Hour, when it generated cinephile buzz on the festival circuit in 2016 or perhaps the spellbinding romance-by-way-of identity-crisis, Asako I & II, when it became his first film to premiere at Cannes in 2018. But well before these milestones, Hamaguchi was busy making shorts and features that have rarely screened outside of Japan. After graduating from Tokyo University in 2003 under the influence of John Cassavetes, Hamaguchi began directing in earnest before entering Tokyo University of the Arts where Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Cure, Pulse) became a mentor. As a student and beyond, Hamaguchi took advantage of a network of non-profit, institutional support to workshop projects that allowed him to experiment with like-minded actors, screenwriters and cinematographers. Indeed, a number of his films from this period (Intimacies, Touching the Skin of Eeriness) foreground the creative process as elements of his sublimely structured mid-career style come into view. With his latest film, All of a Sudden, in theaters this November, the Archive is pleased to present this selection of early works by Hamaguchi that confirm what was to come even as they defy expectations. Series programmed and notes written by Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm.

@ Travel back more than 250 years to explore the pioneers and innovators who originated from the Presidio—and helped shape San Francisco, the United States, and the world. The journey begins by recognizing and honoring the Ramaytush Ohlone people, the first stewards of this land. From there, explore the dramatic transitions of power over the Presidio between three powerful countries and discover how the Presidio evolved from a strategic military outpost into one of the most popular national parks in the country. The tour will last approximately 2 hours, and we will walk 1.3 miles. The trail is mostly flat with some inclines. We advise that you please wear layers, as the weather changes drastically. Bathrooms are available and we kindly ask that you please refrain from bringing any pets. **_All sales are final and refunds cannot be provided._** ### [San Francisco Bay Area Network](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/san-francisco-bay-area-network/) [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/network/san-francisco-bay-area-network/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

@ Change is the only constant in life, and every day we are called to reckon with this. Today it may be most apparent to you in national or global tumult, a career pivot you’re contemplating or relationship dynamics you’re struggling to tweak or adapt to. However it shows up, you can count on the rug continuing to shift beneath your feet. And your brain really doesn’t like that, at least by default. In its frenzy to find stability today, it will leap to ways of thinking and behaving that will leave you feeling even more stuck, stifled, and afraid tomorrow. Yet, if you are inclined toward personal growth, you can use the tidal forces of change to propel you to ever-greater wisdom, inner stability and even growth. In this session with Jim Hjort, an executive and career coach, personal development trainer and licensed psychotherapist, you’ll learn: • Why your inner critic and pessimist is actually a key part of your team • Why you may do all the “right” things, while feeling less and less satisfied with your life • How to look beneath the surface of your life story to identify what makes you feel truly alive—so you can have more of that • Communication skills to help you show up for yourself first, so you can show up whole and healthy for anyone else you want in your life • How to not just survive chaos and uncertainty, but embrace it as the essential journey of your life Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

@ One thing many of us miss about UCLA is how easy it was to run into friends and feel part of a community because even in L.A., people can scatter surprisingly quickly after graduation. We want to help recreate a bit of that Bruin camaraderie here because we know there are plenty of Bruins nearby — we just don’t recognize one another now that BearWear isn’t our daily attire. We can change that. Join us for an evening of relaxed fun with the classes of 2020-26. This is as low-key as it gets: no program, no icebreakers and no expectation that you work the room. If you’d rather not walk in alone, bring a friend — they don’t need to be a Bruin. Drop in for a bit or stay all evening. If you want a preview, 1212 Santa Monica — our spot for the evening — is pictured below. Order whatever you’d like from the bar or kitchen on your own tab, then settle into the open, two-story space and enjoy the lively Santa Monica atmosphere. With creative cocktails, a SoCal-inspired menu and plenty of room to catch up or get to know someone new, 1212 feels like the perfect place to meet other recent grads who already know at least one chapter of our story. Maybe you’ll meet other sports fans to watch a UCLA game with this fall, find people who want to explore a new local spot in the next few months, or exchange career tips down the line. Who knows — you might even end up sitting across from one another at a Dinner for 12 Strangers that one of you hosts next February. This could be the start of a circle of Bruins you keep bumping into — and choosing to spend time with. Our greatest hope is that you make friends you like enough to say, “We should do this again,” and then actually do it.. ### [Westside Network](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/los-angeles-westside-network/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

@ The 2026 U.S. midterm elections will shape far more than the balance of power in Washington. Their consequences will ripple through global markets, transatlantic relations, European security, and the future of the liberal international order. This distinguished panel discussion, presented by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Alumni UK Network and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business UK alumni community, brings together leading voices in politics, economics, and international affairs to examine how America’s domestic political landscape is inseparable from global stability and economic confidence. For business leaders, investors, policymakers, and internationally minded professionals, understanding what’s at stake in these midterms is essential to navigating an increasingly interconnected geopolitical and economic landscape. Key Themes Moving beyond campaign horse-race coverage, our panel will examine the outcome’s real-world implications for governments, markets, institutions, and businesses across Europe and beyond: * The political landscape: electoral behaviour, polarisation, and the resilience of American democratic institutions * European security: what the outcome means for NATO, Ukraine, and the continent’s defence posture * Transatlantic cooperation: the outlook for U.S.–Europe partnership in an era of geopolitical fragmentation * Markets and fiscal policy: investor confidence, monetary policy, and the global economic outlook * The liberal international order: the future of multilateral institutions under growing strain This is a conversation for anyone who needs to understand not just who wins, but what it means for transatlantic cooperation, for institutional trust, and for the decisions business and policy leaders will need to make next. Early-Bird; £80 from September 2, 2026. ### [UK Network](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/uk-network/) [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/network/uk-network/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

In person: Q&A with UCLA Cinema and Media Studies Professor Kriss Ravetto-Biagioli and UCLA Comparative Literature Professor Nouri Gana. Guest speaker 60 years after its first screening in Algiers, The Battle of Algiers has lost none of its political punch. Premiering internationally at the 1966 Venice Film Festival, where it won the Golden Lion, the film was celebrated for the audacity with which it confronted the still-raw history of French colonialism and the Algerian struggle for independence. In France, however, it remained effectively banned for years. Its extraordinary political afterlife has been equally paradoxical: a film embraced by anticolonial and revolutionary movements around the world has also been studied by military and counterinsurgency strategists, including at the Pentagon during the Iraq War. Starring almost exclusively nonprofessional actors and shot entirely on location in Algiers in a strikingly realist, quasi-documentary style, Gillo Pontecorvo’s film reconstructs the pivotal 1957 Battle of Algiers during the Algerian War of Independence (1954–62). Beginning with French paratroopers closing in on FLN militant Ali La Pointe, the film moves backward to trace his politicization and the escalating confrontation between the National Liberation Front and the French colonial state. Yet The Battle of Algiers is less the story of an individual revolutionary than of a people becoming a political subject. Made shortly before the manifestos that would theorize “Third Cinema,” the film became one of its enduring touchstones: cinema conceived not simply as representation but as intervention. Its unsettling treatment of colonialism, revolutionary violence, torture and collective resistance continues to raise urgent questions about political violence, national liberation and the unfinished work of decolonization. Note written by UCLA Cinema and Media Studies Professor Kriss Ravetto-Biagioli and UCLA Comparative Literature Professor Nouri Gana.

LA’s 33 Strings (三十三絃の会), a distinguished Japanese music ensemble based in Southern California and dedicated to the preservation and evolution of Japan’s musical heritage, hosts a workshop on Japanese music. Featuring instruments such as the koto, bass koto, and shamisen, the group performs a wide variety of music, ranging from classical pieces and folk songs to contemporary works, including anime and film scores, bringing together members and audiences through a shared appreciation of Japanese music. LA’s 33 Strings has appeared at a range of notable events, including a collaboration with the globally renowned video game Silent Hill f, the Newport Beach Film Festival, Anime Expo, and the Dream Asia Food Festival in Las Vegas, as well as numerous community events throughout Southern California. The ensemble has also performed at venues such as Bowers Museum, Descanso Gardens, and other Japanese gardens, libraries, art galleries, and cultural festivals. In addition, LA’s 33 Strings has produced hands-on workshops throughout the LA community with the endorsement of the Consulate General of Japan. These educational programs help deepen appreciation and understanding of Japanese musical traditions while creating opportunities for participants to experience the instruments and music firsthand. As its presence continues to grow, the ensemble looks ahead to future engagements, including its annual fall concert on November 21st. This special evening will reflect not only the cultural richness and musical refinement of Japanese music, but also the spirit of community at the heart of LA’s 33 Strings. LA’s 33 Strings is generously supported by grants from the California Arts Council, LA County Arts and Culture, Japan Foundation, and the Eastside Arts Initiative. https://www.33strings.org/ This workshop is presented in conjunction with the symposium “Music Alive in the Archive: Legacy and Promise–65 Years of the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive,” a two-day event in celebration of the 65th anniversary of the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive. Sponsored by the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive, the UCLA Department of Ethnomusicology, and the Dean’s Office, UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music.

Kinnara was formed in 1969 by Rev. Masao Kodani and several members of Senshin Buddhist Temple and includes a Gagaku group of 15-20 musicians and dancers and a Taiko group. It sponsors study groups and conducts seminars on Buddhist culture and performing arts. Gagaku is the oldest existing tradition of orchestral music and dance in the world, representing the court music and dance of ancient Asia (central Asia, southeast Asia, India, China, Manchuria, Korea, and Japan). It is the collective music of these areas up to the 10th century and as early as the beginning of the common era. This music is preserved and performed to this day in Japan and, to a lesser degree, in Korea. In Japan, it became part of the liturgical music and dance of our Jodoshinshu sect in the 17th century and has been performed in our temples in America since the early 1900s. Kinnara had the rare opportunity to study gagaku under the guidance of Professor Suenobu Togi, emeritus professor of the Department of Ethnomusicology at UCLA and musician in the Imperial Household Department of Court Music in Japan. He taught the group from 1969-2010. Kinnara Gagaku continues to perform at various temples for special services, as well as at cultural centers and universities. In October 2023, Kinnara Gagaku performed at Walt Disney Hall in downtown Los Angeles for the celebration of their 20th anniversary. https://senshintemple.org/groups/kinnara/ This concert is presented in conjunction with the symposium “Music Alive in the Archive: Legacy and Promise–65 Years of the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive,” a two-day event in celebration of the 65th anniversary of the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive.

Part of: Ryusuke Hamaguchi: Early Works Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Yanai Initiative When Drive My Car won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film in 2022, on top of being the first Japanese film ever nominated for Best Picture, it may have appeared to many as if its director, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, had come out of nowhere to accomplish such a feat. Still others may have known him as the director of the four-hour tour-de-force relationship drama, Happy Hour, when it generated cinephile buzz on the festival circuit in 2016 or perhaps the spellbinding romance-by-way-of identity-crisis, Asako I & II, when it became his first film to premiere at Cannes in 2018. But well before these milestones, Hamaguchi was busy making shorts and features that have rarely screened outside of Japan. After graduating from Tokyo University in 2003 under the influence of John Cassavetes, Hamaguchi began directing in earnest before entering Tokyo University of the Arts where Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Cure, Pulse) became a mentor. As a student and beyond, Hamaguchi took advantage of a network of non-profit, institutional support to workshop projects that allowed him to experiment with like-minded actors, screenwriters and cinematographers. Indeed, a number of his films from this period (Intimacies, Touching the Skin of Eeriness) foreground the creative process as elements of his sublimely structured mid-career style come into view. With his latest film, All of a Sudden, in theaters this November, the Archive is pleased to present this selection of early works by Hamaguchi that confirm what was to come even as they defy expectations. Series programmed and notes written by Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm.

Why do we suffer? Why do people die young? Is there any point to our excessive pain, physical or emotional? This talk explores the ways that we have tried to minimize or eliminate suffering, and examines people’s attempts to find ways to live with pointless suffering. Ultimately, to be fully human—and to have healthy culture—means to acknowledge a mysterious paradox: we must simultaneously accept suffering and oppose it. Scott Samuelson studied philosophy at Grinnell College (BA, 1995, valedictorian) and Emory University (PhD, 2001). He is currently a Professor of Practice in the Departments of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Iowa State University. In 2014, he was named Distinguished Humanities Educator by the Community College Humanities Association. Inspired by his students, he wrote his first book The Deepest Human Life: An Introduction to Philosophy for Everyone (University of Chicago Press, 2014), which has been well received not just by prominent reviewers but by numerous non-philosophers who found their philosophical voice with its help. The book has been translated into Chinese and Portuguese. Samuelson has published articles in the Wall Street Journal, the Huffington Post, the Chronicle of Higher Education, The Philosopher’s Magazine, and Christian Century. His article “Why I Teach Plato to Plumbers” in The Atlantic has been widely circulated. He’s been interviewed on NPR and given various public lectures and talks, including a TEDx talk “How Philosophy Can Save Your Life.” Scott Samuelson was the recipient of the 2015 Hiett Prize in the Humanities. Co-sponsored by the UCLA Center for Buddhist Studies.

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 platform. You will also also learn how to select repositories for hosting your scholarly outputs, such as research articles, datasets, working papers and more.

UCLA Nazir Ali Jairazhboy Colloquium Dawn Norfleet: Beyond Being Alice Coltrane and Betty Davis As the centennial celebrations of John Coltrane and Miles Davis reach sunset, we will shine light on the unique artistry of two exceptional musicians, Alice McLeod Coltrane and Betty Gray Mabry Davis.  These women played significant roles in the lives and music of jazz luminaries John and Miles during their brief marriages; even more importantly, they were impactful music and culture creators whose full recognition may have been overshadowed by their iconic husbands until recent years.  Beyond being John’s collaborator, Alice Coltrane was a music visionary fusing improvisation, jazz, gospel, and Indian traditions in her compositions and recordings. Her Hindu devotees honored her as and Hindu spiritual leader, Swamini A.C. Turiyasangitananda.  Beyond being “Miles’ muse”, Betty Gray Mabry was a trailblazing Black female rocker, songwriter, and bandleader at the height of the Soul Era. Her raspy voice and raunchy lyrics expressed an overt sexuality and aggressive performativity that was presumed the domain of white male rock artists, while also being considered too provocative for many Black listeners influenced by aesthetics of gospel and Motown.  We will not only discuss the strong impact Alice and Betty had on the musical direction of John and Miles, but also, how these women were cultural catalysts on the merits of their own artistry.

These are your golden 15-minute slots to get personalized, one-on-one career advice from the UCLA Career Center that caters specifically to your unique journey as a transfer student.

Join the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music as we welcome pianist Elizabeth Schumann for the Fall installment of our 2026/27 David L. Abell Piano Master Series, a concert series which features renowned artists visiting UCLA to perform and work with our piano students.   About Elizabeth Schumann: Dr. Elizabeth Schumann is a concert pianist, educator, and interdisciplinary artist whose work spans leading concert halls, public art initiatives, and research at the intersection of the arts, technology, and human performance. Described by The Washington Post as “deft, relentless, and devastatingly good—the sort of performance you experience not so much with your ears as your solar plexus,” she approaches the concert stage as a place where artistry and inquiry meet, offering audiences experiences that link music with the broader human story. ​ As a recitalist, chamber musician, and concerto soloist, she has performed at the Kennedy Center, Vienna’s Bösendorfer Saal, Weill at Carnegie Hall, Montreal’s Place des Arts, San Francisco’s Davies Symphony Hall, Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Musical Instruments Museum in Phoenix, Ravinia’s Rising Stars Series, Australia’s Huntington Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Gilmore International Keyboard Festival. Her performances have been featured on NPR’s Performance Today, PBS, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Honors include the Gilmore Young Artist Award, first prizes at the Bösendorfer and Pacific International Piano Competitions, and awards at the Cleveland, Hilton Head, Montreal, and World International Piano Competitions. ​ Her portfolio extends beyond traditional concert work to collaborative projects that place music in fresh contexts. She has developed touring productions that integrate performance with narrative and visual design, large-scale public installations that transform city spaces into concert venues, and educational programs for children and underserved communities that pair music with literature and live storytelling. These include Piano Carnival, which grew from a 15-city tour into a book, CD, and interactive applications reaching more than 20,000 students and teachers; Son et Lumière, premiered at Boston’s Illuminus Festival and later commissioned for the Pike & Rose Audio Visual Arts Festival, attracting audiences of over 8,000; and Pianimal, a concert and video series presented across the United States and distributed to children’s hospitals through partnerships with leading arts organizations. Across these projects, her aim is to allow audiences to meet music on their own terms and to experience its power without barriers of price or pretense. Her work has also reached international audiences through U.S. Embassy cultural diplomacy programs, building connections and mutual understanding through performance. ​ Carrying on the pedagogical tradition of her teacher, Sergei Babayan, Dr. Schumann has taught at Winter and Summer Performing Arts at The Juilliard School, Itzhak Perlman’s Perlman Music Program, the Crowden Chamber Music Workshop, and the Vancouver Piano Sessions. She is the Billie Bennett Director of Keyboard Studies and Assistant Professor of Music at Stanford University, where she combines conservatory-level training with insights from neuroscience, psychology, and biomechanics to help pianists achieve expressive freedom while minimizing injury risk. At Stanford, her research examines how physiology, pedagogy, and instrument design shape performance, with applications that extend beyond the arts to fields such as medicine, rehabilitation, and human performance science. ​ Through collaborations that unite artists, scientists, and community leaders, Dr. Schumann expands how people encounter and engage with music. Her work demonstrates how these connections can open new possibilities, deepen understanding, and inspire contributions that reach beyond the concert hall.

Part of: The Trouble With Ghosts In person: UCLA Cinema and Media Studies Professor Kriss Ravetto-Biagioli and Université Paris Cité Visual Studies Professor Martine Beugnet The history of photography, film and television is so populated by ghosts that we can forget what is uniquely strange about them. The ghost is a troubling figure that points to the limit of thought — to death and nothingness. Yet, phantoms need an audience and a medium to make their appearance in the form of the sound of knocking, audiovisual noise, an eerie feeling, a white sheet with two cut out holes for eyes. What is a ghost without its sheet, or medium through which it speaks? In the process of taking new forms, they test the boundaries between the human, the machine and the non-human, stirring up new anxieties. Even if said to be non-beings, ghosts are granted supernatural sight (a maniacal gaze) and power (to possess bodies and to touch the living). At the same time, they interrupt communications, and images of the dead continue to be circulated as exploitable brands. While endlessly occupying the archive of contemporary digital media, certain ghostly images, memories and dreams are privileged over others. For lack of political will, or even just lack of images, witnesses and sound recordings, some ghosts do not and will not see the light of day. The Trouble With Ghosts explores what is so conceptually and figuratively unsettling about the ghost and the media that host it. The series is an attempt to understand the politics of ghosting in an age that is so preoccupied with specters (past, present and future). Series programmed by UCLA Cinema and Media Studies Professor Kriss Ravetto-Biagioli, Université Paris Cité Visual Studies Professor Martine Beugnet and Archive Research and Public Access Coordinator Nicole Ucedo. Notes written by Kriss Ravetto-Biagioli and Martine Beugnet.

Nearly a decade ago the descendants of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) transferred a substantial part of the author’s private library to Blackie House Library and Museum in Edinburgh, the city of his birth. Each of the 400 volumes tells a unique story of the writer who not only created the globally admired character Sherlock Holmes but was author of dozens upon dozens of works in fictional and non-fictional genres. In this talk, Dr. William Zachs, the Director of the Blackie House Library and Museum, tells tales teased out from the pages of the collection that reveal the close connections between the books Conan Doyle owned and read and those he wrote and revised. Using his own critical powers of observation and deduction, Zachs uncovers significant biographical revelations that bring us closer to the author and his times.

Part of the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences Speaker: Takao Sasaki, associate professor in the Brain and Cognitive Sciences, University of Rochester Social animals—from insect colonies to human groups—often make decisions without centralized control, relying on local interactions to produce coordinated collective outcomes. However, we still know little about the circumstances under which groups make better (or worse) decisions than individuals. To address this question, Takao Sasaki's research applies concepts and methods from psychology to both individuals and groups, allowing him to directly compare their cognitive abilities. Using ants and homing pigeons as model systems, Sasaki will discuss (1) how rock ant colonies avoid making irrational decisions, (2) how fire ants collectively build self-assembled pontoon bridges, and (3) how homing pigeons improve their homing routes through the accumulation of knowledge. He will also briefly introduce a new research direction that his lab has recently started investigating: collective animal learning.

@ With his single mother in jail, Sequoyah, a fifteen-year-old Cherokee boy, is placed in foster care. Literally and figuratively scarred by his mother’s years of substance abuse, Sequoyah keeps mostly to himself, living with his emotions pressed deep below the surface. At least until he meets seventeen-year-old Rosemary, a troubled artist who also lives with the family. Sequoyah and Rosemary bond over their shared Native American background and tumultuous paths through the foster care system, but as Sequoyah’s feelings toward Rosemary deepen, the precariousness of their lives and the scars of their pasts threaten to undo them both.

The 21st Kenneth Karmiole Lecture on the History of the Book Trade, given by Dennis Duncan, Associate Professor, University College London. This talk begins with a collection of four dozen Burying in Woollen affidavits from the village of Upper Heyford in Oxfordshire, dating from the first decade of the eighteenth century to the last. Each affidavit testifies to a burial in the village, and an oath taken by a relative of the deceased that the body was wrapped in nothing other than wool. These are roughly-printed, single-sheet forms, illustrated with crude woodcuts of skulls and cadavers. They were printed seventy miles away in London. What can the stationery of a country rector tell us about the practices of the London printers, how they advertised, and how the blank precedent?what we might today call a form?offered rich, ever-changing opportunities to supplement their book work?

Part of: Food and Film Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Hammer Museum Just as every memorable dinner harmonizes textures and flavors to create something more than the sum of its parts — of the type that feels like “a kind of love affair” — so too does Danish director Gabriel Axel’s Babette’s Feast. A dash of piety, a splash of romance, a hint of heartache, a touch of splendor, and generous portions of human frailty and desire all come together in Axel’s framing, Henning Kristiansen’s cinematography and the delicate performances of its outstanding cast to make you fall in love with the movies and dining, all over again. We’re pleased to present this Academy Award-winning classic of the culinary screen to mark the fifth anniversary of Lulu at the Hammer Museum. Programmed and note written by Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm.

Part of: Ryusuke Hamaguchi: Early Works Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Yanai Initiative When Drive My Car won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film in 2022, on top of being the first Japanese film ever nominated for Best Picture, it may have appeared to many as if its director, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, had come out of nowhere to accomplish such a feat. Still others may have known him as the director of the four-hour tour-de-force relationship drama, Happy Hour, when it generated cinephile buzz on the festival circuit in 2016 or perhaps the spellbinding romance-by-way-of identity-crisis, Asako I & II, when it became his first film to premiere at Cannes in 2018. But well before these milestones, Hamaguchi was busy making shorts and features that have rarely screened outside of Japan. After graduating from Tokyo University in 2003 under the influence of John Cassavetes, Hamaguchi began directing in earnest before entering Tokyo University of the Arts where Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Cure, Pulse) became a mentor. As a student and beyond, Hamaguchi took advantage of a network of non-profit, institutional support to workshop projects that allowed him to experiment with like-minded actors, screenwriters and cinematographers. Indeed, a number of his films from this period (Intimacies, Touching the Skin of Eeriness) foreground the creative process as elements of his sublimely structured mid-career style come into view. With his latest film, All of a Sudden, in theaters this November, the Archive is pleased to present this selection of early works by Hamaguchi that confirm what was to come even as they defy expectations. Series programmed and notes written by Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm.
