Moderated by Brian Brodersen\, (Landscape Architect and Principal/Owner Brodersen Associates). \nJoin us for the inaugural Ahmanson Lecture at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library\, an evening exploring how history\, design\, and stewardship can shape the future of Los Angeles’s most meaningful landscapes. \nLandscape designer Tracy Wolk shares her vision for the Clark’s historic gardens\, reimagining their early 20th-century character for a future grounded in sustainability\, resilience\, and respect for heritage. She will be joined by Stephanie Landregan\, director of Altadena Green\, a community initiative established after the Altadena fires to protect and restore the city’s historic trees. Together\, they consider how preservation and innovation can coexist to sustain California’s cultural landscapes in a changing climate. \nPresented in recognition of Lee Walcott\, whose enduring support through the auspices of the Ahmanson Foundation continues to nurture the Clark Library and its living legacy. \n\nThe registration form is available on our website. \nThe lecture is free to attend with advance registration.

SUMMARY:Strange Synchronicities and Familiar Parallels in Asia\, 1600–1800: Joseph Fletcher’s Plane Ride Revisited: Conference 2: Empires in Practice
DESCRIPTION:In this year’s Core Program\, historians of the Ottoman\, Qing\, and Mughal empires revisit the problem of comparison by considering synchronicities and structural parallels across Asia. \nThe second conference looks at Imperial Operations. How did empires work? What did the everyday operations of imperial rule look like? Early modern empires confronted the same “great enemy” of distance which severely constrained all actions\, from government communications to tax collection. The systems for delegating authority and distributing tasks that the Ottomans\, Mughals\, and Qing developed to address these common problems shared some essential features despite their autonomous development and local variations\, and reveal a level of organizational sophistication often overlooked. By examining these and other areas of imperial operations\, the conference aims to build a conceptual framework that explains both shared features and distinctive approaches without privileging any single model as universal. \nThe list of speakers\, the conference schedule\, and the registration form are available on our website. \n\nThis event is free to attend with advance registration and will be held in person at the Clark Library. \nRegistration will close on Monday\, March 2 at 5:00 p.m. \nCapacity is limited at the Clark Library; walk-in registrants are welcome as space permits. \n
