Join us on Monday, April 13 from 12-1 pm at La Kretz Garden Pavilion for another installment of Botany Brown Bag. Dr. Theresa Ambo will give a talk titled "Moving Beyond Land Acknowledgements." Formal land acknowledgments are an evolving practice designed to recognize local Indigenous Peoples and lands. Despite this uptake, land acknowledgements remain understudied and often misunderstood with regard to purpose, tone, responsibility, significance for educational equity, and implications for the measurable support of local Indigenous communities named in these statements. In the lecture, Dr. Ambo will share about the emergence and adoption of land acknowledgement practices, including her current research on over 400 formal and informal statements from land-grab universities across the United States. She will provide practical recommendations for moving beyond moments of acknowledgement to support tribal sovereignty and self-determination. Make sure to bring your lunch! This event is free and open to the public, no RSVP required.

Oscar Wilde died in November 1900, exiled in Paris and exhausted by scandal and prison life. The details of his life in the limelight are well known; what has regularly been ignored are the reverberations of the scandal for decades after his death: the challenges his descendants faced, the myths and legends, the quarrels between his friends and enemies, and the court cases. During this special event, Wilde’s only grandson, author and editor Merlin Holland, will speak with Rebecca Fenning Marschall, Manuscripts & Archives Librarian, about his new book, "After Oscar: The Legacy of a Scandal," which details the remarkable posthumous life of one of the most celebrated literary and cultural figures. With pathos, humor, and his grandfather’s signature wit, Holland charts the extraordinary afterlife of the legendary writer and thinker, tracing the dramatic fluctuations in Wilde’s posthumous reputation and exposing a century of bigotry and hypocrisy within the cultural establishment.

This concert featuring Ambroise Aubrun (violin) and Steven Vanhauwaert (piano) pays tribute to the refined tradition of musical salons, tracing their influence from nineteenth-century Vienna to early twentieth-century Los Angeles. At its heart is Guillaume Lekeu’s Violin Sonata, performed in homage to Alfred Megerlin, the Belgian violin virtuoso and concertmaster of the Los Angeles Philharmonic in the 1920s. Through works by Schubert, Fauré, Debussy and others, the program evokes the elegance, intimacy, and cultural dialogue that defined salon music across generations and continents.

Made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment. Premiering in 1990, In Living Color exploded onto the Fox Television Network, reinvigorating the sketch comedy genre by showcasing a multiracial ensemble unafraid of controversy. Created by trailblazing multi-hyphenate Keenen Ivory Wayans, the innovative series turned primetime into a cultural battlefield, uproariously harnessing satire and spectacle to explore issues of race, class and celebrity. In his book, The Black Pack: Comedy, Race, and Resistance, author Artel Great situates In Living Color within the broader lineage of Black sketch comedy, illuminating how the innovative series served as an industrial weapon, seizing time, space and cultural power, often forcing America to laugh at what it preferred to ignore. In the process, the hit series won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series in 1990. Helping to launch a breakout cast of highly gifted comedians that included David Alan Grier, Daymon Wayans, Kim Wayans, Tommy Davison, Jamie Foxx and Jim Carrey, In Living Color introduced a lasting lexicon of original characters and catchphrases to pop culture, from Homey D. Clown (“Homey, don’t play that”) to Men on Film (“two snaps up”) that continue to resonate long after the series' final broadcast on Fox in 1994. Join us for a quartet of hilariously provocative episodes of In Living Color curated and introduced by author Artel Great.
