Join CAE, the GSS LLC, and other campus partners for The Executive Function, a resource fair focused on support for neurodivergent students. There are so many wonderful resources at UCLA that exist to support students in their academic, professional, and personal growth. But, from a student perspective all these separate avenues of support can be daunting. The prospect of bouncing from office to office in search of the person or program that is right for them can exhaust students before they start.   Herein lies the role of The Executive Function!, a resource fair aiming to address this problem in two key ways: (1) Connect students directly with campus resource representatives that can best address their needs, and (2) Start the application/intake process right then and there!  Named after the common ADHD symptom of executive dysfunction, The Executive Function! is an acknowledgment that students know what they need, they may even know where to start, but the process of taking those first steps can feel insurmountable. Thankfully, one of the most effective techniques for addressing executive dysfunction is community support. Providing the space and time to fill out an intake form or book an appointment can make a world of difference.

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: Hannah Sutherland and Stephen Gabrielson

Presented by the UCLA Library and the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences Social and political turbulence in the United States and Western Europe has been rising over the past decade. Cliodynamics, the new transdisciplinary field, which combines analysis of historical data with the tools of complexity science, has identified the deep structural forces that work to undermine societal stability and resilience to internal and external shocks. In this talk, Peter Turchin will look beneath the surface of day-to-day contentious politics and social unrest, and focus on the negative social and economic trends that explain our current “Age of Discord.” One of the most important, but little appreciated, such hidden forces is a perverse “wealth pump” that transfers wealth from the “99 percent” to “1 percent.” If allowed to run unchecked, the wealth pump results in both relative impoverishment of most people and increasingly desperate competition among elites. Since the number of power positions in a society remains more or less fixed, the overproduction of elites inevitably leads to frustrated elite aspirants, who harness popular resentment to turn against the established order. In America, the wealth pump has been operating full blast for two generations. In historical terms, our current cycle of elite overproduction and popular immiseration is far along the path to violent political rupture. In fact, today the USA finds itself in a situation that fits the definition of revolution, although, so far, fortunately a relatively non-violent one. The current focus of Turchin's research team is, how do we navigate our Age of Discord without descending into a hot civil war?

Join for a lively discussion with fellow Bruins (and a few Cal Bears too) of "Before the Coffee Gets Cold". This novel tells the story of a cafe where patrons can go back in time. Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s beautiful, moving story explores the age-old question: what would you change if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time? This is a peer-led group and newcomers are always welcome.

It is often said that, “feedback is a gift.” But whether we are on the giving or receiving end, we don’t always feel that way about it. What if we became masterful at sharing our feedback with others in ways that truly occurred as a gift, coming from a place of advocacy? What if we became masterful at receiving feedback, leveraging any feedback we receive for our good and our growth? In this virtual session, career coach Amanda Jaggard will share practical principles for turning feedback into a non-negotiable tool for ourselves and our teams so that it truly is a gift we both receive and give. In this session, you will learn: \- The distinction between giving feedback and sharing your opinion. \- Clear strategies for getting the most valuable feedback possible \- Commitments to practice these new feedback skills to maximize your current growth

This workshop providesThis workshop provides an overview on the various forms of academic dishonesty regarding plagiarism. Participants will learn when, where, and why it is important to cite properly. Students will also learn how to avoid plagiarism and the information presented will stress the need to attribute work to the original author and the potential outcomes for plagiarizing. Additionally, paraphrasing, and direct quoting will be discussed. ZOOM. Register through MyEvents on MyUCLA.

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.

This half-day symposium at UCLA will examine the intersection of sound and hate, highlighting how auditory experiences can propagate, resist, and reflect social animosities. Bringing together diverse perspectives from sound studies and related fields, the event will deepen understanding of how sound influences, challenges, and shapes the dynamics of hate in society. The keynote address, “Sectarian Reckonings: The Politics of Voice and Song in Post-Authoritarian Syria,” will be delivered by Shayna M. Silverstein, Associate Professor in the Department of Performance Studies and faculty member of the Middle Eastern and North African Studies program at Northwestern University. Her talk explores public reckonings with sectarian violence in Syria from the 2010s conflict to the precarious present, offering guided listening to sonic practices—from chant and song to rock and livestream audio culture—that respond to sectarianized hate, violence, and animosity. Additional speakers include UCLA School of Music Associate Professor Jenny Johnson, UCLA Initiative to Study Hate (ISH) Research Manager Dr. Amalia Mora, and the symposium’s curator Dr. Kathryn Huether (ISH and Leve Center for Jewish Studies Postdoctoral Fellow-Antisemitism Studies).

Introduction by Gerardo Fueyo Bros, consul general of Spain in Los Angeles, and Gonzalo del Puerto, cultural director, Instituto Cervantes Los Ángeles. 70-minute presentation by historian Silvia Ribelles de la Vega, followed by a Q&A with Ribelles moderated by May Hong HaDuong, director, UCLA Film & Television Archive. Presented in partnership with The Packard Humanities Institute, the Consulate General of Spain in Los Angeles, and the Instituto Cervantes Los Ángeles. Marking the 90th anniversary of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), Silvia Ribelles de la Vega, a scholar and historian at The Packard Humanities Institute, presents a program featuring seldom-seen views of the war, drawn from the Hearst Metrotone News collection. The preservation of and access to the collection have been made possible only through the incredible efforts of The Packard Humanities Institute, in collaboration with the UCLA Film & Television Archive, to expand access to one of the most significant newsreel archives of the 20th century. This collection of 27 million feet of newsreels includes approximately 288 reels of film related to the Spanish Civil War. At the time, newsreels — short-form, theatrically exhibited news stories — were often the only moving image records of unfolding events available to international audiences. Hearst cameramen covered the conflict extensively and, remarkably, filmed from both sides of the war. Ribelles’ presentation will move chronologically from 1936 to 1939 and feature not only edited newsreels but also selections from longer, previously unseen footage. Describing the Hearst Metrotone News collection as “a gem for any researcher,” Ribelles highlights the opportunities this newly accessible material offers to scholars and history enthusiasts alike. Drawing on production records, maps and related archival documents, she will examine how the newsreels were filmed, edited and circulated, and how studying them today can surface overlooked histories and reshape our understanding of the Spanish Civil War. 90 years after a conflict that tore a nation apart, these newsreels stand as vital audiovisual evidence and as a testament to the enduring impact of making archival collections accessible to all. The Archive is grateful to The Packard Humanities Institute (PHI) for its role as the driving force in the project to share the Hearst Metrotone News Collection for research, study and public access. To explore more than 20,000 news stories preserved and made accessible by PHI, including unedited materials featured in this program, visit newsreels.net.

Grab a coffee, lace up your walking shoes, and join the UCLA South Bay Network for one of our most popular traditions, the Pier to Pier Walk! We’ll stroll along the scenic Strand from the Hermosa Beach Pier to the Manhattan Beach Pier, then make our way back to Hermosa Beach. Along the way, connect with fellow Bruins, enjoy lively conversation, and soak in the iconic ocean views that make the South Bay so special. All are welcome—bring friends, family, strollers, and pets! Please plan on gathering in front of the Kelly Lifeguard Memorial Statue by Hermosa Beach Pier at 9:45 so we can start walking close to 10:00am. The walk is about 3 miles and typically takes roughly 2 hours (though it feels really fast!). After the walk, you’re welcome to join us for a casual brunch at a local spot (location TBD).

What happens when a climbing gym is built by the community that will use it? Join OC Bruins to climb and connect with Sender One co-founder Alice Kao ’01 at their new Aliso Viejo location. Sender One’s newest Orange County gym represents something special. The Aliso Viejo location was community-funded by local supporters and climbers, many of whom became investors in the project. As Alice recently shared, the vision was simple but powerful: to create a space built for the community, by the community. OC Bruins is excited to bring Bruins together at this new space and welcome fellow alum Alice Kao ’01, Sender One’s CEO and co-founder. Alice will join us to connect with alumni and share a few remarks before we take to the walls together. Whether you’re a seasoned climber or trying it for the first time, this is a chance to challenge yourself, cheer on local Bruins, and experience a new Orange County climbing destination together. Moments like this capture what OC Bruins is all about: Bruins showing up for Bruins

Q&A with filmmaker Efraín Gutiérrez and Distinguished Professor Chon Noriega, UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. Presented in partnership with the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center. Funding for this screening is provided by the Hugh M. Hefner Classic American Film Program. Considered the first Chicano feature, Efraín Gutiérrez’s landmark independent film Please, Don’t Bury Me Alive! (¡Por favor, no me entierren vivo!) was believed lost for years until UCLA Distinguished Professor Chon Noriega tracked down the director and relocated elements to the UCLA Film & Television Archive, where collaborative restoration efforts brought the film back to life. Incorporating Chicano forms of popular theater and music, the bilingual film offers a rhythmic, in-depth look at 1970s-era South Texas Chicano culture, as its central character questions his place in a society that undervalues Latinos, so many of whom had been killed in the Vietnam War. A historic, influential hit in regional theaters, the film’s tremendous impact on Chicano cinema was further cemented in 2014, when it was named to the National Film Registry for its historic, cultural, and artistic significance. Today, in a moment when visibility itself can feel precarious, the film’s call to live boldly in defiance of erasure resonates as powerfully as it did 50 years ago.

Oscar Wilde died in November 1900, exiled in Paris and exhausted by scandal and prison life. The details of his life in the limelight are well known; what has regularly been ignored are the reverberations of the scandal for decades after his death: the challenges his descendants faced, the myths and legends, the quarrels between his friends and enemies, and the court cases. During this special event, Wilde’s only grandson, author and editor Merlin Holland, will speak with Rebecca Fenning Marschall, Manuscripts & Archives Librarian, about his new book, "After Oscar: The Legacy of a Scandal," which details the remarkable posthumous life of one of the most celebrated literary and cultural figures. With pathos, humor, and his grandfather’s signature wit, Holland charts the extraordinary afterlife of the legendary writer and thinker, tracing the dramatic fluctuations in Wilde’s posthumous reputation and exposing a century of bigotry and hypocrisy within the cultural establishment.

Formal land acknowledgments are an evolving practice designed to recognize local Indigenous Peoples and lands. Despite this uptake, land acknowledgements remain understudied and often misunderstood with regard to purpose, tone, responsibility, significance for educational equity, and implications for the measurable support of local Indigenous communities named in these statements. In the lecture, Dr. Ambo will share about the emergence and adoption of land acknowledgement practices, including her current research on over 400 formal and informal statements from land-grab universities across the United States. She will provide practical recommendations for moving beyond moments of acknowledgement to support tribal sovereignty and self-determination. Make sure to bring your lunch!

Hollywood Architecture in the Golden Age (1920-1940) The Golden Age of Hollywood—when the major studios dominated filmmaking—also shaped a distinctive architectural landscape. Movie studios, theaters, and hotels adopted dramatic, glamorous styles meant to embody the excitement of cinema. The architecture blended fantasy and luxury, mirroring the movies themselves. Predictable weather, diverse scenery, Bohemian emigrees and new wealth fueled a growing city where film fantasy and gritty reality overlapped. The studio system, sound stages and set design flourished. Technicolor introduced vibrant color schemes and celluloid Modernism was projected into theatrical movie palaces. Rural backlots continued into the TV-era, while Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Homes of the Stars become world famous tourist attractions. Dr. Kane, a specialist in 19th and 20th century American architecture and urban planning, has taught Western and American art and architectural history and planning to both professional and general interest audiences for over 35 years. Institutions include the NewSchool of Architecture & Design, Design Institute of San Diego, San Diego State University, Cal Poly Pomona, UC San Diego, and UCLA Extension. Diane received her BA in Art History from UCLA, an MA in Art History from Cal, and her Ph.D. in Architectural History from UCSB. Retired since 2007, she has travelled the world, visiting all 50 states and over 110 countries. This has sparked an interest in non-Western architecture and cross-cultural transference and innovation through lectures at Osher Institute of Lifelong Learning.

This concert featuring Ambroise Aubrun (violin) and Steven Vanhauwaert (piano) pays tribute to the refined tradition of musical salons, tracing their influence from nineteenth-century Vienna to early twentieth-century Los Angeles. At its heart is Guillaume Lekeu’s Violin Sonata, performed in homage to Alfred Megerlin, the Belgian violin virtuoso and concertmaster of the Los Angeles Philharmonic in the 1920s. Through works by Schubert, Fauré, Debussy and others, the program evokes the elegance, intimacy, and cultural dialogue that defined salon music across generations and continents.

Made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment. Premiering in 1990, In Living Color exploded onto the Fox Television Network, reinvigorating the sketch comedy genre by showcasing a multiracial ensemble unafraid of controversy. Created by trailblazing multi-hyphenate Keenen Ivory Wayans, the innovative series turned primetime into a cultural battlefield, uproariously harnessing satire and spectacle to explore issues of race, class and celebrity. In his book, The Black Pack: Comedy, Race, and Resistance, author Artel Great situates In Living Color within the broader lineage of Black sketch comedy, illuminating how the innovative series served as an industrial weapon, seizing time, space and cultural power, often forcing America to laugh at what it preferred to ignore. In the process, the hit series won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series in 1990. Helping to launch a breakout cast of highly gifted comedians that included David Alan Grier, Daymon Wayans, Kim Wayans, Tommy Davison, Jamie Foxx and Jim Carrey, In Living Color introduced a lasting lexicon of original characters and catchphrases to pop culture, from Homey D. Clown (“Homey, don’t play that”) to Men on Film (“two snaps up”) that continue to resonate long after the series' final broadcast on Fox in 1994. Join us for a quartet of hilariously provocative episodes of In Living Color curated and introduced by author Artel Great.

In person: Introduction by Artel Great, associate professor, San Francisco State University School of Cinema, and author of The Black Pack: Comedy, Race, and Resistance. Here Eddie Murphy stands at the center of the Black Pack as Prince Akeem, heir to the throne of Zamunda, who leaves royal luxury for Queens, New York, in search of love on his own terms. The most commercially successful Black comedy feature of its era, this blockbuster is also a case study in power and authorship, as Murphy gives a tour de force performance of multiple characters and earns a “story by” credit. Ultimately, the film shows how box office clout enabled Black cultural specificity while embedding sharp critiques of race, class and respectability within mainstream studio comedy. Director: John Landis. Screenwriter: David Sheffield, Barry W. Blaustein. With: Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones.

What does it mean to feel stony? John Milton’s 1671 verse drama Samson Agonistes retells the last day of the biblical Judge Samson, as he moves from an initial feeling that his disabled body is a “Sepulcher, a moving grave” to his eventual toppling of the Temple of Dagon occasioned by a mysterious set of “rousing motions.” This talk by Shaun Nowicki, Ph.D. candidate in English at the University of California, Santa Barbara and a recipient of the 2025-26 Kenneth Karmiole Graduate Research Fellowship at the UCLA William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, examines Milton’s deployment of the lithic as a structuring metaphor for understanding both Samson’s initial abjection and the eventual return of his strength. In doing so, the play both draws on emergent cultural understandings of disability as an abject category of being and offers a refutation of that paradigm by considering the potential vivacity of non-living things and the possibilities inherent in the alliances between the human and nonhuman world.

The Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, or VOC) made significant strides towards establishing colonial control over the Indonesian islands in the seventeenth century. When the Company founded Batavia in 1619, the city became the administrative hub of an extensive mercantile network and served as its Asian headquarters. In this talk, Emma Gagnon, Ph.D. candidate in the History of Art and Architecture Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara and a recipient of the 2025-26 Kenneth Karmiole Graduate Research Fellowship at the UCLA William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, examines the images of Batavia in Johan Nieuhof’s (1618-1672) illustrated travelogues. Nieuhof spent years in and out of the colonial capital, and his accounts provide some of the earliest images of Batavia. This talk demonstrates how the city’s Dutch identity was defined not only by its built environment but also through the dissemination of these forms in the Dutch Republic’s print culture.

Q&A with Great and photographer Bruce Talamon. Harlem Nights marks the only film written, directed, produced by and starring Eddie Murphy. Set in 1930s Harlem, the film imagines a world of Black nightlife, entrepreneurship and survival amid gangsters and corrupt cops. Anchored by a jazzy score blending big band and Duke Ellington standards, the film unites three generations of Black comedy — Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor and Murphy — alongside an overflowing ensemble cast. Often misunderstood on release, Harlem Nights stands as a bold assertion of authorship and creative control, envisioning Black autonomy over space, style and destiny. Director/Screenwriter: Eddie Murphy. With: Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, Jasmine Guy, Della Reese.

Many mid-career professionals find themselves carrying significant responsibility—often without clear authority, sufficient support or access to best practices or training. In today's fast-changing impact-focused workplaces, influence is no longer about hierarchy. It's about clarify, trust, relational intelligence and the ability to reduce friction while advancing meaningful work. However, influence does not happen in a vacuum. It is shaped by identity, role, history and systems of power and privilege. Join career coach Mollie Stephens for a virtual session that acknowledges those dynamics and offers grounded tools for navigating them with clarity, integrity and courage. In this session, you will: ● Identify where influence feels stuck, draining or unclear in their current role ● Strengthen clarity and alignment with teams and stakeholders ● Navigate influence across differences in identity, authority and access ● Apply simple tools to manage across peers without formal authority ● Commit to one concrete step that increases their impact this week

Many professionals take “bridge” jobs out of necessity, after a layoff, career disruption or while re-tooling for more meaningful work. While these roles can provide stability, they can also quietly stall long-term career progress. In this practical, experience-based webinar, career counselor Markell R. Morris, MA, NCC, DCC shares real-world strategies drawn directly from job seekers who successfully used survival jobs as stepping stones, rather than dead ends. Participants will learn how to reframe their mindset, leverage everyday work experiences and strengthen their network to intentionally plan their next move and avoid burning out or losing momentum. This session is ideal for mid-career and late-career professionals navigating transition, as well as recent graduates balancing financial realities with long-term career goals.

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: Hannah Sutherland and Stephen Gabrielson
