SUMMARY:West Coast Hellenic Book Club: The Jasmine Isle by Ioanna Karystiani
DESCRIPTION:Book cover design by: Emanuele Ragnisco \nWest Coast Hellenic Book Club: \nThe Jasmine Isle by Ioanna Karystiani\, trans. Michael Eleftheriou\n(Europa Editions\, 2006) \nDiscussion led by Professor Sharon Gerstel\, Director\, UCLA SNF Hellenic Center and Dr. Eirini Kotsovili\, Senior Lecturer\, Global Humanities at Simon Fraser University \nSaturday\, March 14\, 2026\n10 A.M. Los Angeles / 7 P.M. Greece\nVia Zoom \nRSVP Here \nFrom the Publisher: \nSet on the Greek island of Andros during the first half of the 20th century\, Karystiani’s first novel to be translated into English centers on Orsa Saltaferou\, a jovial teenager who falls in love with charming and sensual fisherman Spyros Maltambes. But when the time comes to settle down\, her imperious mother\, Mina\, decides that Spyros is not the man for her daughter and arranges a marriage to the richer Nikos Vatokouzis\, also a fisherman. Without a word of protest\, Orsa resigns herself to her fate-until she returns from her honeymoon to find her younger sister\, Mosca\, married to Spyros. Further intensifying emotions\, the sisters and their respective husbands must live with just a staircase between them. And because both men are sailors (as is the sisters’ father)\, they often travel for long stretches and leave the sisters-along with Mina and many other women on the island-to look after the homes\, raise their children and chat\, trying to gather news about their husbands and\, when it comes\, the war. With a talent for crafting graceful narration and poignant dialogue\, Karystiani presents a praiseworthy novel of a life caught between love and loss. \nAbout the Author: \nIoanna Karystiani was born on the island of Crete\, Greece\, in the town of Chania and now lives in Athens. Her literary debut came with the collection of short stories\, I kyria Kataki (Ms. Kataki). She has since written three novels\, all of which have been translated into several languages. She wrote the screenplay for The Brides\, directed by Pandelis Vulgaris and produced by Martin Scorsese\, and Estrella mi vida\, directed by Costa Gavras. She received the Greek state prize for literature and the Athenian Academy prize for her first novel\, and the Diavaso literature prize for her second. \nThis program is made possible thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). \nAvailable to borrow digitally for free on the Internet Archive at the link below: \nhttps://archive.org/details/jasmineisle0000kary/mode/2up \nIf you need help sourcing a copy of the book\, please email hellenic@humnet.ucla.edu.

SUMMARY:Black Lives Under Nazism: Making History Visible in Literature and Art – Sarah Phillips Casteel
DESCRIPTION:In a little-known chapter of World War II\, Black people living in Nazi Germany and occupied Europe were subjected to ostracization\, forced sterilization\, and incarceration in internment and concentration camps. In the absence of public commemoration\, Black writers and visual artists have preserved the stories of these forgotten victims of the Third Reich. Their works of memoir\, poetry\, fiction\, painting and photomontage illuminate both the relationship between creativity and wartime survival and the role of art in the formation of collective memory. Probing the boundaries of Holocaust memory and representation\, this talk draws attention to a largely unrecognized artistic corpus that challenges the erasure of Black wartime history. \nSarah Phillips Casteel is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and Professor of English at Carleton University. She has written and co-edited five books\, the most recent of which is Black Lives Under Nazism: Making History Visible in Literature and Art (Columbia University Press\, 2024). She has held visiting professorships at the Universities of Vienna and Potsdam and visiting fellowships at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Zentrum Jüdische Studien Berlin-Brandenburg. The recipient of a Canadian Jewish Literary Award and a Polanyi Prize\, she is a member of the Academic Council of the Holocaust Educational Foundation of Northwestern University. \nRSVP

SUMMARY:Bilingual Lecture Series: Pamela Karimi
DESCRIPTION:Women\, Art\, Freedom: Artists and Street Politics in Iran\nPamela Karimi (Cornell University)\nMonday March 16\, 2026\, at 2:00pm\nOnline via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_mvqHL0u4QFGuYqFdFbiikg\nDownload the event flyer here\n  \nThis talk\, based on Pamela Karimi’s 2024 book Women\, Art\, Freedom: Artists and Street Politics in Iran\, traces the 2022 Woman\, Life\, Freedom uprising catalyzed by the tragic death of Jina Mahsa Amini while in the custody of the “morality police.” Beyond its feminist core and the extraordinary courage of young protesters\, Karimi emphasizes that what truly distinguishes this movement is the scale and diversity of its art. Rather than focusing solely on viral images\, the talk foregrounds grassroots artistic practices that reshaped local public life. Drawing on interviews with Iran-based artists\, it highlights how creative work fueled guerrilla interventions\, street occupations\, and nonviolent civil disobedience. Set against a wide historical and theoretical backdrop\, the presentation maps the genealogies of Iranian protest art and examines the entanglement of public space\, women’s bodies\, and para-feminist imaginaries. Ultimately\, Karimi argues that artists are not merely witnesses to upheaval but rather architects of collective action and essential agents in broader struggles for justice and equality. \nPamela Karimi is an architect and historian of modern and contemporary art and architecture of the Middle East. She earned her Ph.D. from MIT in 2009 and is currently Associate Professor at Cornell University. Her interdisciplinary research bridges architecture\, art\, environmental studies\, and socio-political dynamics. Karimi is the author of Domesticity and Consumer Culture in Iran (2013; translation into Persian in 2021)\, Alternative Iran: Contemporary Art and Critical Spatial Practice (Stanford University Press\, 2022)\, Women\, Art\, Freedom: Artists and Street Politics in Iran (Leuven/Cornell University Press)\, and is completing Survival by Design: Desert Architecture at the End of the World\, a study of architecture and environmental transformations in arid regions. Her most recent book\, upon which this talk is based and which was supported by the Persian Heritage Foundation\, examines grassroots artistic movements in the 2022 Woman\, Life\, Freedom uprising. Karimi’s work also extends globally\, from coediting The Destruction of Cultural Heritage: From Napoleon to ISIS to curating the traveling exhibition Black Spaces Matter. Widely recognized by outlets such as NPR\, the BBC\, and The Washington Post\, her scholarship highlights the intersections of design\, politics\, and ecology across diverse contexts.

SUMMARY:The Fumes of Mars: Book discussion with artist and writer Katerina Angelopoulou
DESCRIPTION:The Fumes of Mars: Book discussion with artist and writer Katerina Angelopoulou \nSaturday\, March 28\, 2026\n10:00 A.M. Los Angeles / 7:00 P.M. Greece\nVia Zoom \nRSVP Here \nThis discussion will be moderated by Professor Sharon Gerstel\, Director\, UCLA SNF Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture and Dr. Eirini Kotsovili\, Senior Lecturer\, Global Humanities\, Simon Fraser University. \nOne of the deadliest wildfires ever recorded took place on July 23\, 2018 in Mati\, just 30 km from the historical center of Athens. Writer and artist Katerina Angelopoulou survived the fire\, and her book\, The Fumes of Mars\, combines her photographs with personal testimonies from other survivors\, timelines\, maps\, and reports. With these materials\, Angelopoulou attempts to weave a collective narrative of the events to better understand the violent disconnect between her own experience and the “official” account of the disaster in which facts were concealed and victims held culpable. \nThe book opens with black and white photographs showing the aftermath of the fire alongside testimonies of the survivors. These are followed by Angelopoulou’s photographs\, taken as the disaster unfolded\,overlaid with her timeline of events. Collected evidence on the events follows\, including aerial maps\, topographical information\, lists of the victims with location and cause of death\, weather and aircraft reports\, CCTV and news coverage images\, information from the State Investigator report\, and information on the ongoing trial. The final images of the book are of Angelopoulou’s personal artifacts after the fire\, such as remnants of jewelry\, books\, and glasses. This assembled evidence is embedded with importance because after the fire\, the truth of the victims and their families was questioned multiple times—in the public narrative\, facts were concealed and re-produced with false arguments blaming residents and victims. \nKaterina Angelopoulou is a writer and artist based in Athens. The Fumes of Mars won the Format Festival’s Reviewers’ Choice Award 2022\, was selected for the COCA Project 2021\, shortlisted for the Belfast Dummy Award and Photo Festival in 2022\, and exhibited at LCC in London as part of the Common Ground Exhibition. Angelopoulou holds a B.Sc. in Mathematics & Theoretical Physics from Imperial College London\, a B.A. in Design for Performance from Central Saint Martins\, and an M.A. with Distinction in Photojournalism & Documentary Photography from London College of Communication. \nView additional images and purchase the book here. \nThis program is made possible thanks to support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.

SUMMARY:The Dread Heights: Tribulation and Refuge after the Syrian Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Muslim charities and community organizations have assumed a significant role in refugee support since the Syrian catastrophe: in Jordan and Canada\, as elsewhere\, they deliver food aid\, house orphans\, and organize remedial education. But Islam is more than just a resource for humanitarian projects. The Dread Heights details how the Islamic tradition guides refugees\, relief workers\, and religious scholars in a world of brutal sieges and mass displacement. Even as refugees become objects of humanitarian concern suspended between national orders\, this ethnography brings another suspension into view: a form of life whose gestures are illuminated by the Quranic figure of the Heights. In the shadow of war\, beyond humanitarian order\, Islam offers an orientation to the devastation of the present. \nBasit Kareem Iqbal is Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Associate Member in the Department of Religious Studies at McMaster University. An anthropologist and longtime academic editor\, his research explores the difficulty of the present within and across distinct traditions and forms of life. He is author of The Dread Heights: Tribulation and Refuge after the Syrian Revolution (2025) and editor of collaborative journal issues on tribulation (2022)\, the destruction of loss (2023)\, the incapacitations of tradition (2026)\, and the unmooring of the present (2027). His current projects include translating a book on the representation of violence and writing a series of essays on evil in creation. \nREGISTER HERE \nSponsor(s): Center for Near Eastern Studies\, Center for Middle East Development\, Center for Study of International Migration\, Islamic Studies\, and the Center for the Study of Religion

SUMMARY:The Meaning of the American Revolution in 2026
DESCRIPTION:Conference organized by Professors Craig Yirush (University of California\, Los Angeles)\, and Brad A. Jones (California State University\, Fresno) \nOn the 200th anniversary of the American Revolution in 1976\, Americans celebrated it as the story of a struggle for liberty which culminated in the creation of the world’s first democratic republic. Leading historians largely concurred with this nationalistic view of the Revolution’s significance. They disagreed about whether the republicanism of the new nation was liberal and individualistic\, or classical and communitarian; but they all agreed that the Revolution sparked a “contagion of liberty” which transformed American society. \nApproaching the 250th anniversary in 2026\, things are very different. While the public continues to think about the Revolution in democratic and egalitarian terms\, historians are no longer so confident that the Revolution ushered in an age of liberty. \nThis conference will gather a group of leading scholars to see where scholarship about the Revolution is fifty years later\, on its 250th anniversary\, exploring how we’ve come to rethink this important event\, including its broader continental and global reach\, and its racial and ideological underpinnings. By addressing the talks to a largely non-academic and public audience\, we hope to show non-scholars the new ways historians are currently thinking about the meaning of this seminal event in U.S. and world history. \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\, April 6 at 5:00 p.m. \nCapacity is limited at the Clark Library; walk-in registrants are welcome as space permits.

SUMMARY:“The Evolution of Animal Consciousness” – Eva Jablonka\, Prof. Emerita\, Tel Aviv University
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 10\, 2026\n4:00 – 6:00 PM\nRoyce Hall 306\nRSVP HERE\n  \nJoin us on April 10\, 2026 for a talk with Eva Jablonka\, hosted by the UCLA Department of Philosophy. The talk will take place from 4:00 – 6:00 PM in Royce 306. \n  \nThe Evolution of Animal Consciousness\n  \nThe study of animal consciousness is becoming a respectable domain of study\, which has implications for neuroscience\, evolutionary biology and ethics. In this lecture I discuss the theoretical commitments of different naturalistic approaches to animal consciousness and point to markers of consciousness.  I suggest that an approach focusing on cognitive capacities in humans that were shown by contrastive experiments (comparing conscious and non-conscious perception) to require consciousness is a good starting point for the search for consciousness markers in non-human animals. However\, the choice of contrastive experiments that are deemed relevant for animals is theory-dependent. I present an evolutionary approach suggesting that consciousness is the outcome of the evolution of a complex form of associative learning (unlimited associative learning\, UAL)\, and that the cognitive architecture that evolved to enable this kind of learning is the architecture of minimal consciousness. This theory provides a framework for observational and experimental studies in animals and has many testable predictions. I end by discussing the implications of the evolutionary approach for consciousness studies and for research in evolutionary biology. \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  \nRSVP HERE\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:California Medieval Seminar (Spring 2026)

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.

SUMMARY:Living on After Failure. A Talk with Irving Goh | Program in Experimental Critical Theory
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Experimental Critical Theory presents\nLiving on After Failure\nA Talk with Irving Goh\n\nTuesday\, April 14\, 2026\n5:00pm PDT\nKaplan Hall Room #348\nIn person\n  \n\n\nAdvanced Registration\nAdvanced registration is required by Friday\, April 10\, 2026. \nREGISTER TO ATTEND HERE \n  \n  \nAbout the Talk\nIn this talk\, Irving Goh will present on his latest book\, Living On After Failure (Duke UP\, 2025). He will share his thoughts on failure as failure\, that is\, failure without recuperation\, failure as all negativity. Such a thinking of failure as a thorough impasse not only resists narratives of progress and ideologies of success and their accompanying notions of grit and resilience. It also registers\, at the ontological level\, the affective structure of existence. Professor Goh will also discuss the literary texts that inform his work on failure. \n  \nReadings to be discussed are listed below and are available on the ECT site: \n\nIntroduction and Ch. 3 of Living On After Failure.\n\n  \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nIrving Goh is Professor of Comparative Literature at Emory University. He is the author of The Reject: Community\, Politics\, and Religion after the Subject (Fordham UP\, 2014)\, which won the MLA 23rd Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for French and Francophone Studies\, L’existence prépositionnelle (Galilée\, 2019)\, The Deconstruction of Sex (with Jean-Luc Nancy\, Duke UP\, 2021)\, and most recently\, Living On After Failure (Duke UP\, 2025). His next book\, Touching Literature\, or the Experience of the Limit\, will be published by Cornell UP this summer 2026. For his current book projects\, he is interested in the end(s) of work\, world literature and the question of citizenship\, and theorizing the Asian figure. \n  \n  \nAbout the Program in Experimental Critical Theory\nThe focus of the 2025-2026 Experimental Critical Theory seminar (COM LIT250)\, taught by Professor Eleanor Kaufman\, is “Structure.” \n  \n

SUMMARY:Colloquium: “Beyond Speech: Pictures and Oppression” – A.W. Eaton (University of Illinois\, Chicago)
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 17\, 2026\n4:00 – 6:00 PM\nRoyce Hall 314\nRSVP HERE\n  \nJoin us on Friday\, April 17\, 2026 for a colloquium with A.W. Eaton\, University of Illinois\, Chicago. The talk will take place from 4:00 – 6:00 PM in Royce 314 with a reception to follow. \n  \nBeyond Speech: Pictures and Oppression\n  \nPhilosophical work on oppressive forms of expression strongly tends to give verbal and written linguistic expression pride of place. When it comes to pictures\, there is a tendency to either treat them as if they were language – one sees this in feminist work on pornography – or worse\, to ignore pictures altogether when the topic at hand least typically pictorial or typically has a significant pictorial dimension – one sees this in Jason Stanley’s work on propaganda. Against this linguisticism\, I argue that central and influential forms of oppressive “speech” are in fact pictorial and that to understand how they do their oppressive work\, we must approach pictures as pictures rather than as forms of spoken or written language. In this paper\, I first examine one glaring case of linguisticism\, then say something about what I think is going on here\, and finally briefly examine examples of oppressive pictures and give the outlines of an explanation of how they do their oppressive work. \n  \nPlease note that I will be discussing pictures that glorify and eroticize rape\, and pictures that mock\, shame\, and demean Black persons. I will also mention pictures of lynchings. I will briefly show some of these pictures\, though not the lynching pictures. I will not leave any pictures up for long because they are triggering or otherwise injurious for many of us. That\, after all\, is part of the point of this paper. I will do my best to give warning before I show or mention these pictures. \n  \nA.W. Eaton is Professor of Philosophy and Associate Dean at University of Illinois Chicago (sometimes known as “Chicago Circle”). She received her PhD in both philosophy and art history from The University of Chicago. She has published on topics such as the relationship between aesthetic and ethical value\, pornography\, erotic art\, fatness\, feminist aesthetics\, aesthetics and race\, and artistic representations of rape. She is currently developing a pragmatic account of pictures and working on various topics related to aesthetic injustice. Eaton has been a Laurence Rockefeller Fellow at Princeton’s Center for Human Values; Senior Research Fellow at Lichtenberg Kolleg\, University of Göttingen; and the Brady Distinguished Visiting Associate Professor\, Northwestern University. \n  \nRSVP HERE\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

SUMMARY:The Art of Duo | Musical Salon: From Lekeu to Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Ambroise Aubrun\, violin\nSteven Vanhauwaert\, piano \nThis concert 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. The L.A. Philharmonic itself was founded by William Andrews Clark Jr.\, a passionate patron of the arts who likely hosted intimate musical gatherings in the Drawing Room at the Clark Library. 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. \nFurther details and the complete program are on the website.

SUMMARY:In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union
DESCRIPTION:The short fiction collected in In the Shadow of the Holocaust recovers a range of compelling voices that had been scarcely known or translated. Jewish authors from Ukraine\, Lithuania\, Russia\, and Belarus\, some writing in Yiddish and others in Russian\, tell the stories of ordinary people living on after the massive devastation of the Holocaust on Soviet territory\, depicting memories\, conflicts\, love\, and loss. These are not stories only about how people died\, but how they continued to live: an entire family legacy is reduced to a single tea cup\, the now raspy voice of a telephone that once never stopped ringing\, and a train timetable that lists key places of Jewish life largely destroyed but still vital. Translated by Sasha Senderovich and Harriet Murav\, these stories provide new perspectives on questions fundamental to literature of the Holocaust and legacies of other genocides and mass violence. \nSasha Senderovich is Associate Professor of Slavic Languages & Literatures and of International Studies at the University of Washington. With Harriet Murav\, he translated David Bergelson’s Judgment: A Novel (2017). He is the author of How the Soviet Jew Was Made (2022). Harriet Murav is Center for Advanced Study Professor Emerita at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign. Her most recent books are David Bergelson’s Strange New World: Untimeliness and Futurity (2019) and As the Dust of the Earth: The Literature of Abandonment in Revolutionary Russia and Ukraine (2024). \nTuesday\, April 21\, 2026 • 314 Royce Hall • 2 PM\nIn the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union \nSasha Senderovich (University of Washington\, Seattle) and\nHarriet Murav (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign)\nModerators: Michael Rothberg (UCLA) & Lilya Kaganovsky (UCLA) \nThe 1939 Society Program in Holocaust Studies \nLecture made possible by The 1939 Society\, a division of Holocaust Museum Los Angeles \nRSVP

SUMMARY:Pourdavoud Lecture Series: Jake Nabel
DESCRIPTION:Misunderstanding in Ancient Interstate Relations\nThe Arsacid Princes of the Roman Empire\nJake Nabel (Pennsylvania State University)\nWednesday\, April 22\, 2026 at 4:00 pm Pacific Time\nRoyce Hall 306 and Via Zoom\n  \nRegistration Link: https://forms.gle/ZFb7yBFBeEs2VfMt6 \nZoom: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/92060104969 \n\nIn the first century CE\, several Arsacid princes from the Iranian empire of Parthia were sent to live at the court of the Roman emperor. While Roman authors called these figures “hostages” and scholars have studied them as such\, this talk will employ Iranian and Armenian sources to argue that the Parthians would have seen them as the emperor’s foster-children. These divergent perspectives allowed each empire to perceive itself as superior to the other\, since the two sides interpreted the transfer of royal children through conflicting cultural frameworks. Moving beyond the paradigms of anarchy and hierarchy\, this focus advances a new vision of interstate relations with misunderstanding at its center. The talk is based on the book The Arsacids of Rome\, which was recently published by the University of California Press in the Pourdavoud Institute’s Iran and the Ancient World series. \n\nAbout the Speaker\nJake Nabel is the Tombros Early Career Professor of Classical Studies and an Assistant Professor of Classics & Ancient Mediterranean Studies at Penn State. He is a historian of ancient Rome\, pre-Islamic Iran\, and the points of contact between the two. Jake has published on Roman-Parthian relations\, Latin and Iranian literature\, ancient political thought\, and the Hellenistic east. His current book project is on the concept of freedom in late antique Iran. \nAbout the Book\nA free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos\, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. \nAt the beginning of the common era\, the two major imperial powers of the ancient Mediterranean and Near East were Rome and Parthia. In this book\, Jake Nabel analyzes Roman-Parthian interstate politics by focusing on a group of princes from the Arsacid family—the ruling dynasty of Parthia—who were sent to live at the Roman court. Although Roman authors called these figures “hostages” and scholars have studied them as such\, Nabel draws on Iranian and Armenian sources to argue that the Parthians would have seen them as the emperor’s foster-children. These divergent perspectives allowed each empire to perceive itself as superior to the other\, since the two sides interpreted the exchange of royal children through conflicting cultural frameworks. Moving beyond the paradigm of great powers in conflict\, The Arsacids of Rome advances a new vision of interstate relations with misunderstanding at its center.

SUMMARY:“The Distribution of Doubt” – Eleanor Gordon-Smith (University of Southern California)
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 24\, 2026\n4:00 – 6:00 PM\nDodd Hall 321\nRSVP HERE\n  \nJoin us on Friday\, April 24\, 2026 for a lecture by Eleanor Gordon-Smith (University of Southern California). This event is hosted by Women in Philosophy. The talk will take place from 4:00 – 6:00 PM in Dodd 321 with a small reception to follow. \n  \nThe Distribution of Doubt\n  \nIn this talk I connect two seemingly disparate questions. First\, how suspicious should each of us be of our fellow members of public life? On the one hand\, it is important for us to find out about malfeasance where it exists; this seems to recommend a lot of scrutiny. On the other hand\, many of our most important political and social projects fare better when we do not subject each other to strong suspicion; collective projects often fare better under trust or hope or faith than under suspicion. Second question: what justifies the special privileges journalists seem to hold\, e.g.\, to violate duties of confidentiality in the service of their discoveries? \n  \nThe question of how suspicious we should be of one another in public life has frequently been understood as a question of which attitude we all should take. The effort to justify journalistic privileges has frequently been treated as an extension of rights to free speech. Against both tendencies\, I argue for a division of skepticism\, in which just some of us take on an attitude I call ‘paranoid investigating’ towards others in public life. Second\, I argue that seeing journalists in the role of dedicated paranoid investigators supplies new and fruitful justification for their privileges. The ethics of interpersonal attitudes and the ethics of the press can both be advanced by this model\, on which questions of attitudes in public life are not just individual epistemology or moral psychology at scale. \n  \nRSVP HERE\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
