This session explores how values and affective learning goals can guide the design of AI-assisted assessments. We’ll consider what students should practice and develop for themselves, then define appropriate boundaries between human and AI contributions. Finally, we’ll use prompt constraints to generate assessment ideas that preserve those learning goals.

California Education Learning Lab presents a high-energy, participatory debate on the purpose of higher ed in the age of AI, where everyone is welcome to speak, listen, and engage. Join us for a different kind of conversation about the purpose of higher education in the age of AI. Hosted by April Lawson of Insight Debate & Dialogue in partnership with the My Robot Teacher podcast, this high-energy, participatory debate invites attendees to explore a timely and potentially contentious question facing higher education. There will be no slate of experts at the front of the room. Instead, everyone present will have the opportunity to contribute. You are welcome to speak, listen, or simply take in the conversation. The goal is not necessarily to reach agreement, but to bring different perspectives into the open and engage thoughtfully across disagreement. Closer to the event, registrants will be invited to complete a brief survey to help select the specific resolution we’ll debate. Resolutions include statements such as “Higher education has become transactional rather than transformative” or “AI will do more harm than good in higher education.” Once selected, the final resolution will be announced and shared broadly in advance. This free event is open to Learning Lab's INSPIRE convening attendees and the broader UCLA/Los Angeles higher education community, including students, faculty and administrators, and other interested guests. No special expertise or preparation is required. Participants will come away with a model for a classroom, meeting, or town-hall ready format for discussing hot button topics in a constructive, meaningful, engaging, and safe way. Seats are limited: Advance RSVP is requested.

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."

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.
