10 + 10 Pop-Up Series: Accessible by Design: Creating Inclusive Digital Course Materials

Time Tue 11/4 • 10AM - 10:20AM PST RSVP

Digital accessibility isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a commitment to equity and inclusion. This presentation explores why digital accessibility matters in the college classroom and how instructors can proactively remove digital barriers. You'll leave with a clearer understanding of common accessibility challenges and actionable strategies to address them. Learn how small changes to your course design process can significantly improve the learning experience for all students, including those with disabilities. Practical examples and tools will be shared to help you implement digital accessibility practices immediately. Presenters: Travis Lee (Disabilities and Computing Program), Nate McKee (Bruin Learn Center of Excellence), Jess Gregg (Center for Education Innovation and Learning in the Sciences and TLC) #digitalaccessibility, #inclusion, #removedigitalbarriers, #learningforallstudents Each academic quarter, the UCLA Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) hosts a weekly series of 10+10 Pop-Up sessions on Zoom. These brief, 10-minute presentations focus on specific topics related to course design, teaching, learning, and assessment, and are led by instructional designers and developers from TLC and campus partners. The “+10” refers to an optional 10-minute discussion following each presentation, where participants can ask questions and share insights. These sessions are open to all UCLA instructors—including faculty, lecturers, instructors of record, graduate student instructors, and postdoctoral scholars. Please direct any inquiries to edp@teaching.ucla.edu.

Good Ideas are Hard to Find: How Cognitive Biases and Algorithms Interact to Constrain Discovery

Time Tue 11/4 • 1PM - 2:30PM PST RSVP

Charles E. Young Research Library, Main Conference Room 11360

Zoom

Presented by the UCLA Library and the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences Speaker: Kristina Lerman, Professor of Informatics, Indiana University In a world flooded with information, we rely on social cues (what’s popular, who’s reputable) and algorithmic recommendations to find what to read, watch or cite. When these filters interact with our cognitive biases, they create feedback loops that decouple item popularity from quality, weakening collective discovery. In this talk, Kristina Lerman will present empirical evidence from two domains. First, online choice experiments reveal that attentional biases, reinforced by ranking algorithms, reward the most visible items, so that the best items may not become the most popular. Second, large-scale analyses of bibliometric data reveal how science “finds” good ideas and people. A “rich get richer” dynamic in science (aka the Matthew effect) operates as a feedback loop, bringing more attention to the already-recognized papers and scholars. This dynamic magnifies existing social biases tied to gender and prestige, creating disparities that disadvantage women scholars and researchers with less-prestigious affiliations. Together, these results show how algorithms and cognitive heuristics interact to unintentionally tilt the playing field and distort discovery. To improve discovery and innovation, we need systems that counter these feedback loops and correct for individual biases. This talk is offered both in person and online. Light refreshments will be served. Kristina Lerman is a Professor of Informatics at the Indiana University’s Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering. Previously, she spent 27 years at the University of Southern California, serving as a Senior Principal Scientist at USC Information Sciences Institute. Trained as a physicist, she applies machine learning and network science to questions in computational social science, examining how algorithms and platforms shape social behavior and access to information, attention and influence. Her work has been covered by The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and The Atlantic. She is a fellow of the AAAI.

Notfilm U.S., 2015 10th anniversary screening Writer-director Ross Lipman’s deep dive into the production of literary giant, Irish playwright Samuel Beckett’s only movie, Film (co-directed with Alan Schneider, 1965), was hailed as one of the 10 best films of the year when it was released and stands a decade later as a master class in historical, aesthetic and thematic exposition. Weaving together primary documents, first-person interviews, archival materials and more, Lipman explores how the influences and concerns of a cavalcade of artists, both the celebrated and the obscure (including Beckett, star Buster Keaton, cinematographer Boris Kaufman and publisher Barney Rosset) coalesced — or not — into one of the most enigmatic and evocative cinematic works of the 20th century.—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm DCP, color, 130 min.

The Man Without a World

Time Sat 11/8 • 7:30PM PST

Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer Museum

In-person: film preservationist and author Ross Lipman, filmmaker Eleanor Antin, actor Christine Berry, violinist Alicia Svigals, pianist Donald Sosin. 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. The Man Without a World U.S., 1991 Los Angeles restoration premiere! Through the persona of a censored, persecuted Soviet-era filmmaker, Yevgeny Antinov, writer-director Eleanor Antin constructs a captivating silent film portrait of Jewish shtetl life in 1920s Poland. Evocative of Guy Maddin, Antin remediates and repurposes period melodrama suffusing Jewish communal life before the Holocaust with mysticism, politics and homespun wisdom swirling in a pot of love, jealousy and murder. Presented with live original music composed and performed by world-renowned klezmer violinist Alicia Svigals and celebrated silent film pianist Donald Sosin, The Man Without a World was largely overlooked on its initial release but, restored in 2020, it is, as Ross Lipman writes, “ripe to at last be truly discovered.”—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm DCP, b&w, silent with live musical accompaniment, 98 min. Director/Screenwriter: Eleanor Antin. With: Pier Marton, Christine Berry, Anna Henriques. Restored by Milestone Films with funding from the Sunrise Foundation for Education and the Arts. This screening was made possible with the essential support of the Sunrise Foundation for Education and the Arts. Part of: Ross Lipman and The Archival Impermanence Project

In-person: film preservationist and author Ross Lipman, Archive Head of Preservation Jillian Borders. 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. Four Women U.S., 1975 Set to Nina Simone’s stirring ballad of the same name, Julie Dash’s dance film features Linda Martina Young as strong “Aunt Sarah,” tragic mulatto “Saffronia,” sensuous “Sweet Thing” and militant “Peaches.” Kinetic camerawork and editing, richly colored lighting, and meticulous costume, makeup and hair design work together with Young’s sensitive performance to turn longstanding Black female stereotypes to oblique, critical angles.—Jacqueline Stewart 16mm, color, 7 min. Director: Julie Dash. With: Linda Martina Young. The Juniper Tree Iceland, 1990 While still a graduate film student at UCLA, writer-director Nietzchka Keene used a Fulbright Fellowship to shoot this stunning folk horror story adapted from a Grimm fairytale on location in Iceland. Premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, The Juniper Tree features a pre-Sugarcubes Björk in her film debut as one of a pair of sisters (the other played by Bryndis Petra Bragadóttir) who are cast to the rocky wilds after their mother is accused of witchcraft and burned alive. The harsh but beautiful Icelandic landscape captured in dazzling black and white by cinematographer Randolph Sellars feels, as Ross Lipman writes, “so palpable it almost functions as a character.”—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm 35mm, b&w, 79 min. Director/Screenwriter: Nietzchka Keene. With: Björk, Bryndis Petra Bragadóttir, Valdimar Örn Flygenring. Restored by the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research and The Film Foundation, with funding provided by the George Lucas Family Foundation.

This film series celebrates the radical legacy of UCLA’s Ethno-Communications Program (1969–1973), a pioneering affirmative action initiative launched by Elyseo Taylor, the School of Theater, Film and Television’s first Black faculty member. Designed to train Black, Asian American, Latina/o/x and Native American students to use film as a tool for social change, the program paired filmmaking with journalism, mass communications and community engagement. The alumni in this film program created works that redefined independent media in Los Angeles, offering expansive, socially engaged portraits of multiracial America.

Orange County Network: California’s Economic Outlook with Chief Economist Dr. Somjita Mitra ’00

Time Tue 11/11 • 6PM PST

Zoom

Who better to explain California’s economy than a Bruin? California—the world’s fourth-largest economy—is evolving rapidly amid global trade shifts, government spending debates, demographic transitions, and the rise of artificial intelligence. To help the UCLA community make sense of these forces, join us for a special conversation with Dr. Somjita Mitra ’00, Chief Economist for the California Department of Finance. Dr. Mitra will provide a clear and accessible forecast of where California’s economy is heading, offering insight on: * Demographic & workforce trends – How population changes, regional migration, and AI adoption are reshaping California’s labor force—from Silicon Valley engineers to Central Valley service workers. * Tariffs & global trade – How supply-chain realignments are impacting California’s key industries: technology, agriculture, logistics, and manufacturing. * Federal government shutdown effects – How interruptions to federal funding could ripple through California’s economy, affecting universities, public programs, research grants, and the state’s many government-adjacent employers. * AI & innovation – How emerging technologies are redefining productivity and competitiveness across Hollywood, biotech, and beyond. After Dr. Mitra’s presentation, participants will be invited into small-group breakout sessions to explore key themes more deeply and connect with fellow Bruins for open discussion and idea sharing. **About the Speaker** Dr. Somjita Mitra serves as Chief Economist at the California Department of Finance, where she oversees the Economic Research Unit responsible for preparing the state’s economic forecasts and advising on policy developments. She also guides the Governor’s Council of Economic Advisors and provides analysis to the Director of Finance, the Governor’s administration, and other state and local agencies. Before joining the Department of Finance, Dr. Mitra was Director of the Institute for Applied Economics at the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC), where she led regional and industry studies across California. Earlier in her career, she worked as an economist and consultant specializing in market analysis, economic damages, and strategic research for public and private clients. A member of the Public Policy Institute of California’s Economic Policy Center Advisory Council, Dr. Mitra earned her BA in Economics and Political Science from UCLA and her MA and PhD in Economics from Claremont Graduate University. **Why Attend** This webinar is designed for Bruins across all fields—not just those in economics or government. * **For alumni:** Gain credible insights to inform business strategy, investments, and career planning. * **For students:** Connect classroom learning to real-world job markets. * **For faculty & staff:** Understand the broader economic forces shaping higher education and community engagement. This program highlights the influence of UCLA leadership in guiding policy, innovation, and economic resilience across California.
