Abstract: In early modern Venice, sex workers were frequently accused of practicing magic and witchcraft, subsequently facing trial before the Holy Office. Drawing upon this empirical evidence, this project examines hundreds of Inquisition files spanning the years 1580 to 1630 to reconstruct these women's social networks. The objective is to contextualize and interpret the complex interrelationships between magic, sex work, and gender dynamics in early modern society. Adopting a microhistorical approach that integrates close reading with social network analysis and Gephi visualizations, this paper presents preliminary findings and discusses the methodological challenges of translating archival sources into digital data—particularly when researching the lives of marginalized, working-class women. Bio: Alessandra Celati is a research fellow in Early Modern History at the University of Turin, Italy. She earned her PhD from the University of Pisa and was a Marie Curie Global Fellow between Stanford University and the University of Verona, where she conducted research for several years. She is currently working on a project focused on "Love Magic and Sex Work in Early Modern Venice: A Network of Women in the Inquisition Records."

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/

In 2026, we commemorate a decade since the passing of King Rama IX, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, and one year since the passing of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the beloved Queen Mother. Hosted by the UCLA Music of Thailand Ensemble and the Royal Thai Consulate, Los Angeles, this evening is a heartfelt tribute to the profound cultural legacy of the late King and Queen. It aims to inspire attendees and invite them to join a celebration that beautifully intertwines with tradition and innovation. This connection deepens our appreciation for their visionary artistry and fosters a powerful sense of shared cultural pride. The selected pieces, including Saeng tien (Candlelight blues), Yarm yen (Love at sundown), Sai fon (Falling rain), Klai roong (Near dawn), Chta cheewit (H.M. blues), and Artit up saeng (Blue day), will be performed by community members and master musicians, ensuring each voice is heard both in Thai and English. In 2026, we mark a poignant milestone: a decade since the passing of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, King Rama IX, whose legacy continues to inspire, and one year since the departure of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the cherished Queen Mother, whose grace and compassion touched countless lives. Their enduring influence resonates deeply within our hearts, uniting us in remembrance and gratitude. This heartfelt tribute evokes deep respect and collective remembrance, strengthening the emotional bond between the audience and their cultural heritage. The concert will take place at the elegant Lani Hall, UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, welcoming 101 distinguished guests to celebrate the extraordinary musical legacy of King Rama IX and honor his beloved queen, to whom many relics are dedicated. Local musicians and students will enrich the celebration with their performances, creating a diverse and inclusive program that highlights the community’s vital role in honoring the King and Queen. Their participation reflects a shared commitment to preserving their legacy and ensures that supporters feel valued in this meaningful endeavor. On the evening of October 17, 2026, the program will also commence with a short documentary and films dedicated to the late King, showcasing his remarkable contributions to music and music education in Thailand. After a brief intermission, the Jazz ensemble will perform selected pieces, bringing the King’s compositions to a vibrant, memorable life. Attire: Guests and performers are kindly requested to wear concert black attire for this significant evening.

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.

Many old songs brim with ecological awareness. Old songs from the territory of modern Ukraine tell stories about plants like the birch tree–bereza in Ukrainian, beryoze in Yiddish–that bend, break, and heal, becoming metaphors for human fragility and tenacity. Birds mark the turning of seasons and shifts in our internal weather as well. Since 2011, Zozulka–a trio named after the Ukrainian word for cuckoo bird–has interpreted songs from a wide range of Ukrainian village traditions. With BEREZA / BERYOZE, the trio branches into a new cycle of songs that speak directly to ecological themes. In this project, Zozulka reaches into Yiddish song repertoires from Ukraine, matching and contrasting the Jewish and Ukrainian song traditions that coexisted and drew upon grounded ecological knowledge. This song cycle reimagines old songs by rooting them in new sonic and cultural landscapes. Through expansive and bold arrangements, the works in BEREZA / BERYOZE illuminate how folk wisdom can deepen our awareness of the interdependence between human and more-than-human worlds. In an era marked by global climate change and devastating acts of ecocide in wartorn Ukraine and beyond, BEREZA / BERYOZE celebrates variegated and interlinked song traditions and the cathartic, regenerative power of singing old songs in the present. A portion of our proceeds will go to the Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group https://uncg.org.ua/en/. BIO: Zozulka Trio is Eva Salina, Willa Roberts, and Maria Sonevytsky. We have been singing together since 2011, when we formed as an offshoot of The Chornobyl Songs Project, led by one of our mentors, the Kyiv-based ethnomusicologist Yevhen Yefremov. zozulka.bandcamp.com.

@ 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

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.

@ 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

@ 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
