SUMMARY:Tea and Conversation: Kate Bolton Bonnici
DESCRIPTION:Join UCLA English for the Grace M. Hunt Memorial English Reading Room Writers Series: Tea and Conversation with Kate Bolton Bonnici. \nRegister here to attend. \nKate Bolton Bonnici will read from her latest poetry collection\, A True & Just Record. The reading will be followed by a discussion of her writing\, led by Professor Marissa López. \nHecate-like\, A True & Just Record invites us to the three- way crossroads of poetry\, feminist rhetorics\, and early modern studies. Kate Bolton Bonnici weaves together archival materials from the English witch trials\, 20th- century poets and philosophers\, and her own family. With fury and care\, haunted by absences\, these poems — all also forms of experimental scholarship — interrogate\, disrupt\, and play. \nDr. Kate Bolton Bonnici grew up in Alabama and holds degrees from Harvard\, NYU Law (JD)\, UC Riverside (MFA)\, and UCLA (PhD). Her debut collection\, Night Burial\, won the 2020 Colorado Prize for Poetry. Her second collection\, A True & Just Record\, was published in 2023 by Boiler House Press/Beyond Criticism Editions. Her work has appeared in The Georgia Review\, The Maine Review\, Image\, CounterText\, Exemplaria\, and elsewhere. Kate is an assistant nonfiction editor at Tupelo Press and an Assistant Professor of English at Pepperdine University.

SUMMARY:One Million Experiments
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the short documentary One Million Experiments\, followed by a conversation with Damon A. Williams\, Daniel Kisslinger\, and Los Angeles-based organizers. Check back soon for more information about the organizers who will be joining us! \nRegister here to attend. \nOne Million Experiments is a multimodal project that explores how we define and create safety in the world without the use of prisons or police. Developed by Damon A. Williams and Daniel Kisslinger in partnership with Interrupting Criminalization and Project Nia\, One Million Experiments includes a podcast\, documentary film\, and a curated collection of community-based safety projects working to build solutions that are grounded in transformation instead of punishment. The point of One Million Experiments is not to find permanent solutions to ever-changing problems\, but to gather more ideas\, tools\, and skills so that we don’t have to start from scratch every time. \nThe screening will be followed by a discussion and Q & A moderated by Robin D.G. Kelley\, Distinguished Professor and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History at UCLA. \nThis event is co-sponsored by UCLA’s Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies\, the UCLA Law School’s Criminal Justice Program\, the UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy\, and UCLA’s Center for the Study of Women|Barbra Streisand Center. \nQuestions about the event?\nEmail: englishevents@ucla.edu

SUMMARY:Black Age: Oceanic Lifespans and the Time of Black Life
DESCRIPTION:Register here to attend. A light lunch will be provided. An RSVP is required to attend. \nJoin us for our Kanner Forum featuring Dr. Habiba Ibrahim\, Professor and Associate Chair of English at the University of Washington. In this presentation Dr. Ibrahim will discuss her recent work\, Black Age: Oceanic Lifespans and the Time of Black Life (NYU Press\, 2021). Black Age tracks how age for people of the Black diaspora has been historically constituted as “untimely.” Black Age argues that over various phases of the transatlantic slave trade\, the Black body had been separated from hegemonic relations to liberal humanist measures of time on various scales. Constituted through processes of violence and reasoning that alienated bodies from historical\, developmental\, and legal schedules of time\, Black age became contingent\, malleable\, and suited for the needs of enslavement. \nThe talk will be followed by a Q & A moderated by Yogita Goyal\, Professor of African American Studies and English at UCLA. \nHabiba Ibrahim is Professor and Associate Chair of English at the University of Washington. She is the author of Black Age: Oceanic Lifespans and the Time of Black \nLife (2021) and Troubling the Family: The Promise of Personhood and the Rise of Multiracialism (2012). \nQuestions about the event?\nEmail: englishevents@ucla.edu

SUMMARY:Hammer Poetry Series: Maureen McLane
DESCRIPTION:Maureen McLane\, poet\, literary critic\, and connoisseur of both the canon and the experimental tradition\, epitomizes Wallace Steven’s dictum that “poetry is the scholar’s art.” Her six distinguished volumes of poems include World Enough\, chosen Best Poetry Book of the Year by Paul Muldoon in The New Yorker\, and her genre-breaking book of criticism and biography My Poets was lauded as “the survey course of my dreams” by Loren Stein.

Cosponsored by UCLA English and UCLA Recreation. \nLimited books available for purchase. \nQuestions about the event?\nVisit the Hammer Museum for full details.

SUMMARY:The Uses of Hatred: A Symposium
DESCRIPTION:This event will propose that a range of disciplines across the humanities have shared and suggestive investments in questions of hatred. We will explore hatred as a human emotion not as it is simply decried or enabled in particular works of art\, but as it is in different ways put to use. In particular\, we will explore the uses of hatred in criticism: of art\, literature and culture. The day will bring together scholars and critics in literature and the visual arts\, who are also invested in a range of disciplines including psychoanalysis\, queer theory\, philosophy and anthropology\, in order to discuss hatred in\, and the hatred of\, a range of creative media. \nEach presentation will be followed by discussion with the audience\, and the day will end with a final roundtable reflection on hatred and the humanities. \nRegister here to attend the symposium. \nFor any questions\, please direct these to David Russell (djrussell@ucla.edu) or Sarah Kareem (kareem@humnet.ucla.edu). \nSchedule \n9:45am – Welcome and Introduction \n10:00am – 10:50am – Sarah Kareem (English\, UCLA): “The Art Lover and the Vandal” \n11:00am – 11:50am – Wendy Lee (English\, NYU): “Austen’s Hatred” \n11:50am – 12:10pm – Break \n12:10pm – 1:00pm – David Russell (English\, UCLA): “The Hatred of Criticism” \n1:00pm – 2:00pm – Lunch Break \n2:00pm – 2:50pm – Jeremy Melius (Art History\, University of York): “Deprivation and Delinquency in Ruskin’s History of Art” \n3:00pm – 3:50pm – Jaś Elsner (Art History\, Oxford University): “Image as Aggression in Courbet: about the polemical nature of L’Origine du Monde” \n3:50pm – 4:10pm – Break \n4:10pm – 5:00pm – Roundtable Discussion
