Hogarth' "Lost" Annotations, presented by Dr. Zirwat Chowdhury, Assistant Professor of 18th- and 19th-Century European Art, Department of Art History (UCLA), focuses on an annotated copy of The Investigator No. CCCXXII, one of a series of essays published by the 18th-century Scottish painter, Allan Ramsay. The annotations are those of Ramsay’s contemporary, the English painter and printmaker, William Hogarth. A prized document for its contribution to the artists’ important debates on art theory and aesthetic philosophy, the annotated volume has been understood by Hogarth scholars to have been long lost, even though it has been part of the Clark collections since it was acquired by William Andrews Clark Jr. in 1929. This talk will discuss how the annotated volume might expand our understanding of Hogarth’s theory of art, foundational to the history of 18th-century British art and controversially espoused by the artist in 1753 in his treatise on art and aesthetics, The Analysis of Beauty.

Writing-intensive courses across the curriculum—which are highly exposed to AI misuse—present special challenges and opportunities for transformation in the age of AI. To succeed in today’s AI-integrated workplaces, students need advanced writing, reading and editing skills. This seminar will introduce a human-centered, award-winning curricular model, PAIRR (Peer and AI Review + Reflection), which is designed to build critical AI literacy while simultaneously improving equity in writing support for students. Findings from the PAIRR project— tested with thousands of community college, CSU and UC Davis students in 2025-2027—will also be shared during this seminar. Presenter Bio: Marit J. MacArthur teaches writing and serves as AI & Emerging Technology coordinator for UC Davis’s Writing Center. She is a PI for the PAIRR (Peer and AI Review + Reflection) project and co-investigator with the Center for AI and Experimental Futures (CAIEF). Marit’s work on AI and writing—which builds on her NEH-funded interdisciplinary research in voice studies—has appeared in AI & Society, Computers and Composition, Inside Higher Ed, Bad Ideas about AI and Writing, and Frontiers in Communication. She is a GenAI and Writing in Higher Ed series editor for Critical AI and pedagogy lead for the UC Humanities Research Institute AI Lab.

Research in the Barbera Chemistry Education Research (CER) group focuses on the generation of high-quality data for supporting inferences regarding the impacts of educational practices. This is accomplished through 1) the development and psychometric evaluation of novel assessment instruments for use in higher education chemistry settings and 2) the modeling of these data in ways that are aligned with appropriate theoretical frameworks. This talk will provide an overview of the types of data modeled by the Barbera group when evaluating the impact of learning environments as well as the requirements for validity and reliability with respect to assessment instrument data. Data and analyses from a variety of assessment instruments and classroom-based projects will be presented. Bio: Jack is a Professor of Chemistry, Director of the CHemistry Instrument Review and Assessment Library (CHIRAL), and Editor-in-Chief of the Chemical Education Xchange (ChemEd X). His work seeks to better understand how educators define and measure student success in an academic setting. Since 2007, the Barbera group has developed a number of assessment tools to more effectively, and efficiently, gauge students’ content knowledge as well as factors important for student success including, engagement, motivation, mindset, identity, and self-efficacy.
