This session offers a method for addressing a common challenge in environmental health courses: connecting complex scientific concepts with students' lived experiences and motivating them to think critically about public health solutions. It focuses on the implementation of a case-based learning guest lecture technique in three UCLA undergraduate and graduate courses to help students apply environmental health frameworks to real-world case studies involving air pollution and to foster critical thinking and discussion around environmental justice and vulnerable populations. Presenter: Yuan Yao, Postdoctoral Scholar in Environmental Health Sciences #makingconnections #criticalthinkingskills #casebasedlearning #environmentalhealth 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.

Join CAE, the GSS LLC, and other campus partners for The Executive Function, a resource fair focused on support for neurodivergent students. There are so many wonderful resources at UCLA that exist to support students in their academic, professional, and personal growth. But, from a student perspective all these separate avenues of support can be daunting. The prospect of bouncing from office to office in search of the person or program that is right for them can exhaust students before they start.   Herein lies the role of The Executive Function!, a resource fair aiming to address this problem in two key ways: (1) Connect students directly with campus resource representatives that can best address their needs, and (2) Start the application/intake process right then and there!  Named after the common ADHD symptom of executive dysfunction, The Executive Function! is an acknowledgment that students know what they need, they may even know where to start, but the process of taking those first steps can feel insurmountable. Thankfully, one of the most effective techniques for addressing executive dysfunction is community support. Providing the space and time to fill out an intake form or book an appointment can make a world of difference.

Presented by the UCLA Library and the Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral Sciences Social and political turbulence in the United States and Western Europe has been rising over the past decade. Cliodynamics, the new transdisciplinary field, which combines analysis of historical data with the tools of complexity science, has identified the deep structural forces that work to undermine societal stability and resilience to internal and external shocks. In this talk, Peter Turchin will look beneath the surface of day-to-day contentious politics and social unrest, and focus on the negative social and economic trends that explain our current “Age of Discord.” One of the most important, but little appreciated, such hidden forces is a perverse “wealth pump” that transfers wealth from the “99 percent” to “1 percent.” If allowed to run unchecked, the wealth pump results in both relative impoverishment of most people and increasingly desperate competition among elites. Since the number of power positions in a society remains more or less fixed, the overproduction of elites inevitably leads to frustrated elite aspirants, who harness popular resentment to turn against the established order. In America, the wealth pump has been operating full blast for two generations. In historical terms, our current cycle of elite overproduction and popular immiseration is far along the path to violent political rupture. In fact, today the USA finds itself in a situation that fits the definition of revolution, although, so far, fortunately a relatively non-violent one. The current focus of Turchin's research team is, how do we navigate our Age of Discord without descending into a hot civil war?

This conference will gather a group of leading scholars to see where scholarship about the Revolution is on its 250th anniversary. Through their own research, they’ll address the many and exciting ways we’ve come to rethink this important event, including its broader continental and even global reach, and its racial and ideological underpinnings. Unlike a traditional academic conference, however, these talks will be addressed to a mostly non-academic audience of students and members of the public. In doing so, we hope to show non-scholars new ways historians are currently thinking about the meaning of this seminal event in U.S. and world history.

This half-day symposium at UCLA will examine the intersection of sound and hate, highlighting how auditory experiences can propagate, resist, and reflect social animosities. Bringing together diverse perspectives from sound studies and related fields, the event will deepen understanding of how sound influences, challenges, and shapes the dynamics of hate in society. The keynote address, “Sectarian Reckonings: The Politics of Voice and Song in Post-Authoritarian Syria,” will be delivered by Shayna M. Silverstein, Associate Professor in the Department of Performance Studies and faculty member of the Middle Eastern and North African Studies program at Northwestern University. Her talk explores public reckonings with sectarian violence in Syria from the 2010s conflict to the precarious present, offering guided listening to sonic practices—from chant and song to rock and livestream audio culture—that respond to sectarianized hate, violence, and animosity. Additional speakers include UCLA School of Music Associate Professor Jenny Johnson, UCLA Initiative to Study Hate (ISH) Research Manager Dr. Amalia Mora, and the symposium’s curator Dr. Kathryn Huether (ISH and Leve Center for Jewish Studies Postdoctoral Fellow-Antisemitism Studies).

Introduction by Gerardo Fueyo Bros, consul general of Spain in Los Angeles, and Gonzalo del Puerto, cultural director, Instituto Cervantes Los Ángeles. 70-minute presentation by historian Silvia Ribelles de la Vega, followed by a Q&A with Ribelles moderated by May Hong HaDuong, director, UCLA Film & Television Archive. Presented in partnership with The Packard Humanities Institute, the Consulate General of Spain in Los Angeles, and the Instituto Cervantes Los Ángeles. Marking the 90th anniversary of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), Silvia Ribelles de la Vega, a scholar and historian at The Packard Humanities Institute, presents a program featuring seldom-seen views of the war, drawn from the Hearst Metrotone News collection. The preservation of and access to the collection have been made possible only through the incredible efforts of The Packard Humanities Institute, in collaboration with the UCLA Film & Television Archive, to expand access to one of the most significant newsreel archives of the 20th century. This collection of 27 million feet of newsreels includes approximately 288 reels of film related to the Spanish Civil War. At the time, newsreels — short-form, theatrically exhibited news stories — were often the only moving image records of unfolding events available to international audiences. Hearst cameramen covered the conflict extensively and, remarkably, filmed from both sides of the war. Ribelles’ presentation will move chronologically from 1936 to 1939 and feature not only edited newsreels but also selections from longer, previously unseen footage. Describing the Hearst Metrotone News collection as “a gem for any researcher,” Ribelles highlights the opportunities this newly accessible material offers to scholars and history enthusiasts alike. Drawing on production records, maps and related archival documents, she will examine how the newsreels were filmed, edited and circulated, and how studying them today can surface overlooked histories and reshape our understanding of the Spanish Civil War. 90 years after a conflict that tore a nation apart, these newsreels stand as vital audiovisual evidence and as a testament to the enduring impact of making archival collections accessible to all. The Archive is grateful to The Packard Humanities Institute (PHI) for its role as the driving force in the project to share the Hearst Metrotone News Collection for research, study and public access. To explore more than 20,000 news stories preserved and made accessible by PHI, including unedited materials featured in this program, visit newsreels.net.

Q&A with filmmaker Efraín Gutiérrez and Distinguished Professor Chon Noriega, UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. Presented in partnership with the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center. Funding for this screening is provided by the Hugh M. Hefner Classic American Film Program. Considered the first Chicano feature, Efraín Gutiérrez’s landmark independent film Please, Don’t Bury Me Alive! (¡Por favor, no me entierren vivo!) was believed lost for years until UCLA Distinguished Professor Chon Noriega tracked down the director and relocated elements to the UCLA Film & Television Archive, where collaborative restoration efforts brought the film back to life. Incorporating Chicano forms of popular theater and music, the bilingual film offers a rhythmic, in-depth look at 1970s-era South Texas Chicano culture, as its central character questions his place in a society that undervalues Latinos, so many of whom had been killed in the Vietnam War. A historic, influential hit in regional theaters, the film’s tremendous impact on Chicano cinema was further cemented in 2014, when it was named to the National Film Registry for its historic, cultural, and artistic significance. Today, in a moment when visibility itself can feel precarious, the film’s call to live boldly in defiance of erasure resonates as powerfully as it did 50 years ago.
