SUMMARY:Progressive Activists and the Bible
DESCRIPTION:Some of America’s most effective reformers did not just refer to the Bible\, but fused their own struggles with its narratives\, seeing themselves as part of a cosmic divine battle within history. Claudia Setzer will have us consider how abolitionist Frederick Douglass\, Civil Rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer and others used multiple methods of biblical interpretation to make sense of their struggles and to reject despair. We will also consider contemporary activist groups that root themselves in the Bible and religious traditions. \nRegister here for the Zoom link.

As an industry outsider by design\, he brings fresh perspectives to established systems and creates opportunities where others see roadblocks\, which has made him a valuable guide for those navigating their own entrepreneurial paths. \nAs co-founder of Rebel Creator Services\, Josh identified a critical gap in digital rights management costing music artists millions in lost revenue. His company empowers independent musicians to maximize their YouTube earnings in an increasingly complex digital landscape. Josh also leads A Coffee Called Folks\, a coffee brand celebrating hiphop culture\, and co-founded LA TO IBIZA Records with his teenage son Justin – a family business in its early stages launching Justin’s career in house music while creating opportunities for other young artists. \nJosh’s innovative brand-culture partnerships include serving as head of global brand partnerships for Linkin Park\, generating multimillion-dollar collaborations with Mercedes-AMG and Intel. His pioneering work helped Toyota launch its youth-focused Scion brand\, positioned Dr Pepper as an early leader in esports\, and guided 7UP into EDM culture through collaborations with global stars like Tiësto. \nSince 2015\, Josh has hosted the Rebel Radio podcast\, uncovering business and life lessons in over 300 interviews with artists and creative entrepreneurs. His work has been featured in Forbes\, Brand Week\, Advertising Age\, and the Wall Street Journal. \nJosh began his career as a music journalist writing for The Source and Vibe\, before evolving into artist management and founding culture-marketing agency Rebel Industries.

She’s been featured in Forbes 30 under 30 Games\, The Game Awards Future Class\, Business Insider\, Polygon\, and Entrepreneur.

She completed her doctoral degree in the Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance at UCLA\, as well as a Digital Humanities Graduate Certificate through UCLA’s Center for Digital Humanities. Her dissertation interrogates modes of publishing\, display\, and information capture in museums and archives that illustrate a break from “traditional” models\, and argues that digital modalities provide a distinctly different paradigm for epistemologies of art and culture that offer greater contextualized understandings. Specifically\, she is interested in spectrums of immersive experience within GLAM organizations as offered by technologies such as virtual reality\, augmented reality\, and 360 photo and video capture. Dr. Albrezzi also has significant experience developing digital tools\, such as The Getty Scholars’ Workspace™ for conducting collaborative arts research and preservation. She was aHASTAC Scholar\, has worked and taught within the field of Digital Humanities\, Art History\, and Cultural Studies for eight years\, and helped to produce an online digital art history textbook. Currently\, she is a digital research consultant at the Institute for Digital Research and Education at UCLA.
