SUMMARY:Dean’s Lecture in Humanistic Inquiry: Kate Manne on Sensitivity and Survival
DESCRIPTION:The Inaugural Dean’s Lecture in Humanistic Inquiry\nThursday\, April 30\n4 p.m. – 6 p.m.\nRoyce Hall Room 314 \nFree admission. Reception with light refreshments to follow lecture. Advance registration strongly recommended. \nPresented by the UCLA College Division of Humanities\nThe Dean’s Lecture in Humanistic Inquiry is a biennial lecture dedicated to exploring cross-cutting topics and ideas in humanistic research and examining how humanistic inquiry connects to the most pressing questions of the day. \nAbout our inaugural speaker\nKate Manne is a professor at the Sage School of Philosophy at Cornell University. She specializes in moral\, social and feminist philosophy\, and has written three books: DOWN GIRL: The Logic of Misogyny (Oxford University Press\, 2018)\, ENTITLED: How Male Privilege Hurts Women (Crown\, 2020) and UNSHRINKING: How to Face Fatphobia (Crown\, 2024). In addition to her academic work\, she regularly writes opinion pieces and essays for a wider audience\, including in outlets such as The New York Times\, The Cut\, The Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, The Nation and Time. She writes a Substack newsletter\, More to Hate\, exploring misogyny\, fatphobia and their intersection. \nAbout Professor Manne’s lecture\nSensitivity and Survival\nAccusations of oversensitivity are nowadays very common. Are they typically warranted? Is there in fact a scourge of snowflakes? \nIn this lecture\, Kate Manne will distinguish three things that are commonly meant by “oversensitivity”: over-identification of instances\, over-extension of the relevant concepts and over-reactions to the relevant harms or forms of injustice\, such as sexism\, misogyny and racism. Her talk will draw on two rich humanistic traditions: feminist epistemology and non-ideal theory. \nWhile acknowledging that oversensitivity of all three kinds can and does occur\, Manne will highlight and explore the comparatively under-emphasized converse dangers: the under-identification of instances\, the under-extension of concepts\, and under-reactions or the undermining of warranted reactions\, respectively. In view of this\, she concludes that what is called oversensitivity is often simply sensitivity: a normatively valuable and justified way of reacting to harms and injustices that often go under the radar in society as we know it. \nPlease visit this page to register. \nEvent cosponsors\nThank you to our cosponsors: UCLA Department of Philosophy\, UCLA Department of Gender Studies\, UCLA Center for the Study of Women | Streisand Center\, and UCLA Program in Experimental Critical Theory \n

SUMMARY:“Because of slavery”:  The Irreverent Art of Kara Walker and Harryette Mullen
DESCRIPTION:“Because of slavery” is the correct answer to the question: Why did the slaveholding states go to war against the free states of the Union? MONUMENTS reckons with deceptive narratives implicit in the presentation of a defeated Confederacy — not as traitors and losers\, but as objects of hero worship. The Old South lost the Civil War but won the nation’s post-war reconciliation with monuments\, movies\, and textbooks that upheld white supremacy and perpetuated black subordination. Kara Walker’s art and Harryette Mullen’s poetry have in common an irreverent attitude toward oppressive systems and institutions\, from the Lost Cause glorified in the proliferation of Confederate monuments to the ghosts of slavery still haunting American life. Walker and Mullen employ exacting craft to disarm the ugly isms with parody\, satire\, humor\, and surprising remixes of historical and cultural artifacts. \nIn view of Walker’s Unmanned Drone\, Mullen will read from her latest poetry collection\, Regaining Unconsciousness. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nHarryette Mullen’s latest poetry collection\, Regaining Unconsciousness (Graywolf\, 2025) is one of Publishers Weekly’s and California Independent Booksellers Alliance’s Best Books of the Year. Recyclopedia (Graywolf\, 2006) won a PEN Beyond Margins Award. Sleeping with the Dictionary (U of California\, 2002) was a finalist for a National Book Award\, National Book Critics Circle Award\, and LA Times Book Award. The Cracks Between (U of Alabama\, 2012)\, essays and interviews\, received an Elizabeth Agee Award. Other books include Her Silver-Tongued Companion (Edinburgh U\, 2024)\, Open Leaves (Black Sunflowers\, 2023)\, and Urban Tumbleweed (Graywolf\, 2013). She teaches literature and creative writing at UCLA. \nThis program is co-presented by The Brick and the UCLA College Division of Humanities in conjunction with MONUMENTS\, an exhibition co-organized and co-presented by The Brick and The Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles (MOCA).

Is your research part of the public discourse? Do you have stories the public at large would benefit from knowing? Do you want to reach a broader audience\, an audience beyond the peer-reviewed academic outlets? Do you want to learn how to pitch your specific story and research to non-academic publications?

This session will cover how to balance academic rigor with public accessibility\, navigate editorial feedback\, and establish long-term relationships with editors to amplify scholarly perspectives in the media. \n\n\n\nTuesday February 3\, 4:00–6:00 PM (Royce 314) Panel: “Writing for the Public in Times of Peril\, a panel with Chris Feliciano Arnold\, Lauren Markham\, The Atlantic Senior Editor Honor Jones and VQR Editor Paul Reyes.” \n\n\n\nThis panel of authors and editors will address the crucial role of academics in bridging the gap between scholarly research and public discourse during times of crisis\, uncertainty\, and societal upheaval\, including the ethical\, intellectual\, and practical challenges that scholars face when translating complex ideas into accessible language for broader audiences. Refreshments will be provided. \n\n\n\nPanelist & Writer Bios\n\n\n\n\n\nChris Feliciano Arnold is the author of The Third Bank of the River: Power and Survival in the Twenty-First-Century Amazon (Picador 2018).

Prior to her role at UCLA\, Armine worked in both academic and career counseling at multiple campuses such as CSU Los Angeles\, CSU Northridge\, Pasadena City College\, and Cal Lutheran University. In her current role as Assistant Director of Undergraduate Education & Development at UCLA’s Career Center\, Armine provides career counseling to Social Science and Humanities majors\, as well as to Pre-Law students. She also serves as the liaison to the Transfer Student Center and the Humanities Career Panel Series. Through her professional experiences\, Armine realized her passion for career development and hopes to motivate\, educate\, and guide students to reach success and fulfillment. One piece of advice Armine shares with students is “It’s okay to not know where you’re going and you don’t have to have it all figured out. Career development is a lifelong process.” \nMeet our moderator: \nDavid MacFadyen \nDavid MacFadyen was trained both at the University of London (SSEES) and UCLA\, where he received his PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures. Since that time\, he has been an avid scholar\, promoter\, and collector of recordings from East Slavic cultures (Russia\, Ukraine\, and Belarus). The size of that collection is now approximately two million compositions\, constituting a substantial and unique database\, recently donated to the Wende Museum in Los Angeles. It is undergoing major archival treatment––specifically with the application of blockchain technology––such that rare audio files may be safely lent in so-called trustless environments to both institutions and individuals. The embedding of AI-assisted metadata is also an essential part of the archive’s improvement. \n\nA resulting ability to track the use(s) of music 24/7 then opens up exciting possibilities in Western markets\, preserving the IP of far-flung musicians with timely\, fair payments––free of any intermediaries and/or their commissions. Not to mention the fact that the blockchain makes false information about financial dealings cryptographically impossible. \n\nWith this focus on technology’s benefit for free speech and free enterprise in both Russia and Ukraine\, MacFadyen is simultaneously authoring a series of monographs on the history of Russia’s recording industry––a troubled domain that\, on occasion\, reflects the same civic abuse that has taken such awful shape since 2022. \n\nHe also runs a non-profit (Pacific Sound and Vision) that offers free education to young musicians from Eastern Europe\, connecting them to SoCal experts in a range of technical\, creative\, and financial realms. Work continues with decentralized tech to offer creative solutions to Russia’s centralized destruction of democratic and artistic liberties.
