Undergraduate students are rarely taught how science and medicine perpetuate disparities or how these fields can be leveraged for change. During this seminar, Dr. Tripp will address how undergraduate science education can play a role in addressing persistent health disparities rooted in systemic oppression and implicit bias through justice-centered science curricula from her study. Undergraduate researchers with lived experiences of oppression, alongside community partners, co-created Social Justice in Science case studies that were implemented in an upper-division human physiology course. These materials guided pre-health students to connect physiology content with broader issues of health disparities and advocacy. Findings from student interviews revealed growth in critical consciousness, encompassing the ability to critically reflect on structural oppression that produces inequities, to develop critical self-efficacy to challenge these injustices, and to act in solidarity with those most affected. These findings underscore how justice-centered, community-informed curricula can empower educators to cultivate socially responsive healthcare professionals and scientists prepared to confront inequities. Bio: Brie Tripp is an Associate Professor of Teaching at the University of California, Davis. She leads a lab of undergraduate researchers who study how to promote social and racial justice in undergraduate science classrooms, as well as the impacts of alternative grading practices. The lab performs mixed methods education and psychology research by centering students’ voices from underserved communities and developing justice-centered curricula in physiology and neurobiology education.

Presented by the UCLA Library and the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences Speaker: Robin Choudhury, professor of cardiovascular medicine, University of Oxford When Aristotle searched for the first signs of life, he lifted a flap in the shell of a fertilized chick egg and there he saw a beating heart – the self-evident originator of life. The beating heart has fascinated thinkers from Aristotle to Aquinas, Dante, Leonardo da Vinci, Descartes and Pascal. Across time and place, the story of our understanding of the heart has been richly decorated with images that illuminate the dance between art, religion, philosophy and ‘scientific’ thinking. It is a truly interdisciplinary organ. The secret of our fascination lies in its apparent sentience and automatic and responsive beat. The mystery of the self-beating heart was solved by Professor Denis Noble (as a graduate student in London in 1960). A demonstration of early biological computation, he solved the puzzle that had hung over the ages. And yet, even as the heart function is understood, it retains all its fascination as a cultural icon. This is the story of The Beating Heart. This talk is offered both in person and online. Light refreshments will be served.

A Place of Rage U.S., 1991 This insightful documentary, one of Pratibha Parmar’s early features, delivers candid interviews with activists Angela Davis, June Jordan and Alice Walker where they talk through their experiences with the Civil Rights, Black Power, Feminist and LGBTQ+ movements. As they reassess key figures like Rosa Parks and Fannie Lou Hamer, the film offers essential perspectives from the 1990s culture wars that provide vital historical context for ongoing struggles for justice and equality. DCP, color, 52 min. Director: Pratibha Parmar. With: Angela Davis, June Jordan, Alice Walker. My Name Is Andrea U.S., 2022 Pratibha Parmar’s My Name Is Andrea is a bold hybrid documentary reexamining the life and legacy of radical feminist Andrea Dworkin. Decades before #MeToo, Dworkin challenged sexism and rape culture with fearless urgency, shaped by values learned in the Civil Rights Movement. Blending rare archival footage with performances of Dworkin’s salient writing by Ashley Judd, Soko, Amandla Stenberg, Andrea Riseborough and Christine Lahti, Parmar crafts a rousing portrait of a brilliant yet misunderstood public intellectual whose searing call for justice still resonates powerfully today. DCP, color, 91 min. Director/Screenwriter: Pratibha Parmar. With: Ashley Judd, Soko, Amandla Stenberg. —Public Programmer Beandrea July Part of: A Place of Rage: Women and Anger on Screen

The Scent of Green Papaya France, 1993 Writer-director Tr?n Anh Hùng won the Caméra d’Or at Cannes for his debut feature, The Scent of Green Papaya, a luminous portrait of the sensuous world as experienced by Mùi, a young servant girl to a troubled, middle-class family, in 1950s Saigon. Taking up her duties as a child, Mùi marvels at the small wonders that suffuse the open-air home — raindrops glistening on leaves, the hum of insects, the scent of papaya in the courtyard. Preparing and sharing meals becomes central to her attunement with the rhythms of nature and family life, as well as Hùng’s larger meditation on memory, desire and the grace of the everyday.—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm 35mm, color, in Vietnamese with English subtitles, 104 min.

In-person: Professor Kathleen McHugh, UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, will give a brief talk before the screening. Q&A to follow screening. Admission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. I May Destroy You U.K., 2020 Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You is a radical, genre-defying exploration of trauma, consent and creative survival in the post-#MeToo era. Professor Kathleen McHugh’s latest research on women and anger explores the topic through the series, which, McHugh argues, channels Coel’s anger as both trauma response and creative force. The result: a bold, complex portrait of survival, consent and artistic self-possession. Inspired by Coel’s own experience of assault, the series follows Arabella, a rising writer whose rape during a night out shatters her sense of reality. In Episode 1, Arabella vanishes into the night, only to wake with no memory and a wound on her forehead. Episode 9 explores how her growing online presence alienates those closest to her. The finale imagines alternate confrontations with her rapist before Arabella ultimately reclaims her narrative. Formally daring and emotionally fearless, Coel’s series resists tidy resolutions, instead offering a bold meditation on self-preservation and the messy, nonlinear work of healing. Professor McHugh will give a brief talk, followed by a screening and on-stage conversation. Episode 1: “Eyes Eyes Eyes Eyes” Digital video, color, 30 min. Max. Director: Sam Miller. Screenwriters: Michaela Coel, Sherie Myers, Stephanie Yamson. With: Michaela Coel, Weruche Opia, Paapa Essiedu, Marouane Zotti, Stephen Wight.

Screenwriters: Michaela Coel, Sherie Myers, Stephanie Yamson. With: Michaela Coel, Weruche Opia, Paapa Essiedu, Lewis Reeves. —guest programmer Kathleen McHugh and Public Programmer Beandrea July Part of: A Place of Rage: Women and Anger on Screen
