SUMMARY:“Evolutionary Theory and the Unification of Life Sciences in the 21st Century” – Eva Jablonka\, Prof. Emerita\, Tel Aviv University
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, April 13\, 2026\n12:00 – 1:30 PM\nHaines Hall 352\nRSVP HERE\n  \nJoin us on April 13\, 2026 at 12:00 – 1:30 PM in Haines Hall 352 for a talk with Eva Jablonka\, hosted by the UCLA Department of Anthropology. This lecture is part of the Frank Marlowe Memorial Lecture Series\, in the Center for Behavior\, Evolution and Culture. \n  \nThere will be a reception to launch the exhibition of artwork by Jablonka’s collaborator\, Anna Zeligowski\, with food and drinks at 5:30 – 7:00 PM in Dodd Hall 321. \n  \nEvolutionary Theory and the Unification of Life Sciences in the 21st Century\n  \nI argue that the changes in our current view of evolutionary theory are leading to a new unification of life-sciences\, which is occurring\, seemingly paradoxically\, within the context of their increased specialization and fracturing.  Unlike the modern evolutionary synthesis of the 20th century (the MS) which claimed that selection is the only direction-giving process in evolution\, the current synthesis incorporates not only new biological domains but also processes that were excluded by the MS. I consider two aspects of this unification: the first is the synthesis between development and heredity\, which involves enrichment of both notions and is leading to important changes in our view of evolution\, discussed within the framework of the extended evolutionary synthesis (EES). The second aspect is the study of mental processes stemming from research into the evolutionary origins and effects of consciousness. I argue that these developments enable the construction of a unifying evolutionary framework for the expanding domain of 21st century life sciences\, which is becoming based on broader and richer views of heredity\, adaptation and cognition. \n  \nEva Jablonka is Professor emerita\, The Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas\, Tel-Aviv University. At present\, she is a visiting fellow in the Simons Center for Systems Biology in the IAS\, Princeton. \n  \nVisit the Anthropology event page for more info: https://bec.ucla.edu/event/eva-jablonka-prof-emeritus-tel-aviv-univ/ \n  \nRSVP HERE\n  \n  \nJoin our mailing list!\nSign up for our mailing list to stay up-to-date with future UCLA Philosophy events\, conferences\, and colloquia! \nSIGN UP HERE\n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:“After Oscar”: A Conversation with Merlin Holland about Family\, Scandal\, and Legacies
DESCRIPTION: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. \nDuring this special event\, Wilde’s only grandson\, 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. \nAn account of Oscar’s “posthumous life\,” After Oscar: The Legacy of a Scandal\, showing that his grandfather has caused even more trouble after his death than when he was alive\, will be published in the United States on April 7\, 2026. One of the most important works on Wilde in over fifty years\, After Oscar exposes decades of sensationalist conjecture surrounding the Wilde family\, and documents a century of homophobia within the British establishment. Illuminating and heartbreaking\, Holland has written a book that will amuse\, infuriate\, fascinate\, and shock. Mr. Holland will be available to sign copies of his new book at this event. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own copy; a limited number of books will be available at the event. \nAfter Oscar Wilde’s conviction in 1895\, his wife\, Constance\, and their two sons were forced to move abroad and change their name to Holland. The family has never reverted to the name Wilde. Merlin Holland writes\, lectures\, and broadcasts regularly on the subject of his grandfather’s life. Publications include Irish Peacock and Scarlet Marquess\, the first complete record of the libel trial which ultimately brought Oscar Wilde to ruin and social disgrace\, and The Wilde Album\, a pictorial biography of Oscar Wilde. He is also the co-editor of The Complete Letters of Oscar Wilde and author of Conversations with Oscar Wilde\, a series of imaginary conversations between him and his grandfather. \nThe Oscar Wilde holdings at the Clark Library are the largest and most significant in the world and include nearly every edition of every printed book by and about Wilde\, in addition to a large number of his literary manuscripts and correspondence. The Library collects Wilde’s works in translation in as many languages as possible\, as well as materials related to his wider social circle and the generations of artists\, writers\, and queer activists immediately before and after Wilde. Other collections are related to contemporary social movements\, theater\, bibliophilic clubs\, and university life. A display of books and manuscripts from this collection will be available for viewing in the north and south book rooms prior to the conversation. \n\nThe event is free to attend with advance registration. It will be held in-person at the Clark Library and livestreamed on the Center’s YouTube Channel. No registration is required to watch the livestream. Seating is limited at the Clark Library; walk-in registrants are welcome as space permits. \nVisit the event webpage to register.
