SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: Fire\, Land Stewardship\, and Indigenous Conservancy
DESCRIPTION:Presented in conjunction with the Fire Kinship exhibition at the Fowler Museum at UCLA\, this panel will bring together Indigenous scholars\, fire practitioners\, and land trust leaders to explore the role of land conservancy in the broader Land Back movement. \nFocusing on fire as both a cultural practice and an ecological tool\, the discussion will examine how Indigenous-led conservancies are reclaiming stewardship through legal frameworks that support the return of land and the revitalization of ancestral care practices. Panelists will share case studies\, community-led strategies\, and the challenges of putting fire back on the ground in landscapes where cultural burns were once suppressed. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Reading and Reception\, Claire McEachern – Coyotes and Culture: Essays from Old Malibu
DESCRIPTION:Join UCLA English for a reading and reception to celebrate Claire McEachern’s new book\, Coyotes and Culture: Essays from Old Malibu. This unique collection of essays offers a gripping exploration of the precarious beauty and peril of California’s iconic coastline. Through essays blending personal narrative\, cultural analysis\, and history\, author Claire McEachern takes us behind the scenes of surf and celebrities to paint a vivid portrait of life on the edge —both literally and metaphorically. From the rugged Santa Monica Mountains to the shimmering Pacific\, this work captures the paradoxes of Old Malibu: a place of luxury and risk\, natural splendor and ecological vulnerability. \nLight refreshments will follow the event. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Livestream Panel: AI and the Politics and Extraction
DESCRIPTION:This is an external event\, not hosted by UCLA\, which may be of interest to our community \nThe rapid expansion of artificial intelligence has brought renewed urgency to questions of climate justice. The massive resource extraction required to build and power data center infrastructure is having profound impacts on local communities and ecosystems. At the same time\, the large-scale monetization of data raises complex political and ethical issues\, with far-reaching consequences for democracy\, human rights\, and the environment. \nIn this public discussion\, Professors Naomi Klein (University of British Columbia – Vancouver\, UBC-V)\, Stephanie Dick (Simon Fraser University)\, Wendy Wong (UBC-Okanagan) and Hamish van der Ven (UBC-V) will explore questions around the implications of AI for climate justice\, the governance of AI and protection of users\, and which beneficial models of AI could and should be explored. Moderated by Professor Carol Liao (UBC-V) \nREGISTER HERE – Zoom link will be sent to registrants closer to event date
