SUMMARY:Early Global Caribbean: Conference 2: Convictions
DESCRIPTION:Conference organized by Carla Gardina Pestana (UCLA) and Gabriel de Avilez Rocha (Brown University) \nCo-sponsored by the Joyce Appleby Endowed Chair of America in the World \nThe diverse peoples who converged on the Caribbean before 1700 held a range of differing beliefs\, ideas about the natural world\, and understandings of social\, political\, and spiritual order. Considering how Indigenous\, African\, and European systems of thought and faith clashed\, adapted\, and transformed will be the focus of this second meeting. We invite participants to consider how culturally specific systems of knowledge were expressed and transformed under emergent rubrics of what would become known as religion\, science\, and law. We will likewise reflect on how these ideas animated the creation and maintenance of institutions of governance and knowledge production both in the Caribbean and extending beyond it. This conference grants an opportunity to weigh how the globalization of the early Caribbean marked historical changes in beliefs and ideas but also witnessed continuities that cut across the 1492 divide. In the process\, a multitude of convictions about spiritual\, natural\, corporal\, social\, and political order helped shape (and were reshaped by) encounters in the Basin. \nFor the list of speakers and the program schedule\, please visit the website.

SUMMARY:The Great Search with John Philip Newell
DESCRIPTION:The story of Adam and Eve’s fall from innocence in the Garden of Eden is a mythical account of humanity’s broken relationship with the divine\, with Earth\, and with themselves. \nIn contrast\, Celtic wisdom is built on a strong bond with Earth. In the prophetic figures that author John Philip Newell draws from in his book The Great Search\, the Garden of Eden represents the inner garden of our souls and the outer garden of Earth\, which are seen as essentially one. To live in relation to what is deepest in us is to live in relation to the ground from which we and all things have come. Where are we today\, in relation to our true selves and the sacredness of Earth? And how are we to find our way home again? \nNewell’s talk will explore some of these questions raised in his book at this moment of great spiritual awakening\, an era characterized by religious exile on a vast scale. \nRSVP here for the in-person talk (Royce 314). \nRegister here for the Zoom link for the event \nJohn Philip Newell is a Celtic teacher and author of spirituality who calls the modern world to reawaken to the sacredness of Earth and every human being. His PhD is from the University of Edinburgh and he has authored over fifteen books\, including his award-winning publication\, Sacred Earth Sacred Soul\, which was the 2022 Gold Winner of the Nautilus Book Award for Spirituality and Religious Thought of the West. His new book is The Great Search (August 2024)\, in which he looks at the great spiritual yearnings of humanity today in the context of the decline of religion as we have known it. \nNewell speaks of himself as ‘a wandering teacher’ following the ancient path of many lone teachers before him in the Celtic world\, ‘wandering Scots’ (or scotus vagans as they were called) seeking the wellbeing of the world. He has been described as having ‘the heart of a Celtic bard and the mind of a Celtic scholar’\, combining in his teachings the poetic and the intellectual\, the head as well as the heart\, and spiritual awareness as well as political and ecological concern. His writings have been translated into seven languages. In 2020 he relinquished his ordination as a minister of the Church of Scotland as no longer reflecting the heart of his belief in the sacredness of Earth and every human being. He continues\, however\, to see himself as ‘a grateful son of the Christian household’ seeking to be in relationship with the wisdom of humanity’s other great spiritual traditions. \nIn 2016 he began the Earth & Soul initiative and teaches regularly in the United States and Canada as well as leading international pilgrimage weeks on Iona in the Western Isles of Scotland.

SUMMARY:“Lost in Transfer? Misunderstanding\, Miscommunication\, and the Production of Knowledge in the Late Medieval and Early Modern Mediterranean”
DESCRIPTION:Organizers: Stefania Tutino (UCLA)\, Andrea Aldo Robiglio (KU Leuven)\, and Eva Del Soldato (UPenn) \nThe question of how knowledge transfers has become central for understanding the culture of the premodern world in a global perspective. This workshop is interested in exploring the question of what happens when transfer fails: what happens when knowledge is not “translated” properly? What kind of knowledge is produced when the chain of transmission breaks down or malfunctions? We think that miscommunication is as important as communication\, and we propose to explore this theme both by examining specific case studies of miscommunication and by investigating what they tell us about the structure and modes by which knowledge is produced\, which in turn allows us to get to the question of the very category of “transfer” from a philosophical and theoretical perspective. \nRegister to attend in Royce 314 \nPresenter Abstracts \nConference Schedule: \n\n\n\n9:30\nCoffee\, fresh fruit\, pastries\n\n\n10:00\nWelcoming Remarks (Zrinka Stahuljak\, Director CMRS-CEGS) \n\n\n10:15\nPaper 1: Lost in Translation: Early Modern Jesuits and the Creed (Emanuele Colombo\, Boston College)\n\n\n10:45\nPaper 2: Mistranslating Indigenous America in the ‘Age of Reason’: Epistemological Hybridity and Colonial Violence (Diego Pirillo\, University of California\, Berkeley)\n\n\n11:15\nPaper 3: Oikonomia Understood and Misunderstood: The Latin and English Reception of Byzantine Chemical Terminology (Alexandre M.

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.

SUMMARY:Richard & Mary Rouse History of the Book Lecture by Kristina Richardson
DESCRIPTION:“Between Two Worlds: The Roma and Early Global Print Cultures” \nGuest Speaker: Kristina Richardson (University of Virginia) \nRichardson will show that Roma and other traveling people not only utilized block printing between 800 and 1450 in North Africa and West Asia but also introduced print technology in their new homes when they migrated to Central Europe in the 1410s. Traveling people were the links bridging the early print cultures of North Africa\, West Asia\, and Central Europe. \nKristina Richardson is the John L. Nau Professor of History at the University of Virginia. Her research focuses on premodern non-elite Arab history\, particularly the history of people with disabilities\, users of sign language\, Romani groups (ghurabā’)\, craftspeople\, and enslaved laborers and entertainers. Her current book project is Black Basra: Race\, Labor\, and Piety in Early Islamic History. \nThe History of the Book Lecture series\, established in 1993 through the efforts of Richard and Mary Rouse\, provides an annual venue for internationally recognized authorities on medieval and Renaissance books to present their expertise at UCLA. The lecture’s focus alternates each year between medieval manuscripts and Renaissance books. The topics explored in past lectures were book and manuscript illustration\, the development of printing\, early book printers and sellers\, the book trade\, and medieval and Renaissance book and manuscript collections. \nRegister to attend in Royce 314 \nRegister to attend via ZOOM \nMore information about past Richard and Mary Rouse History of the Book lectures can be found here.
