Over time the focus of that research has shifted from investigating archival methods for preserving the authenticity of records in analogue and digital worlds to examining what authenticity means and the work it does in other disciplinary fields devoted to the preservation and representation of cultural heritage. In this talk I will revisit some of my recent travels with authenticity in the disciplinary fields of social history\, heritage conservation\, and literary studies. Those travels take the form of three case studies: the first revolves around the relationship between authenticity and authority in a post-Reformation library; the second tracks authenticity’s association with genuineness in relation to the conservation of heritage monuments and sites; and the third looks at the link between authenticity and sincerity in the context of Virginia Woolf’s literary estate.” \n\n\n\nTo RSVP\, please email Sydney (striola@g.ucla.edu) for the Zoom link.

This webinar explores how centering student behavioral health through a restorative lens can reshape school discipline practices and policies\, shifting from removal to connection\, and lead to improved academic and wellbeing outcomes. School leaders\, behavioral health and student support professionals\, and community partners are invited to learn how restorative approaches\, aligned with behavioral health supports\, can help schools respond differently to student behavior—while also addressing the unintended harms of exclusionary discipline. A moderated panel discussion featuring Dr. Michael Corral (UCLA CTS)\, Dr. Kathy Do (UCLA SEIS)\, Dr. Michael Massa (OYCR)\, and Dr. Sohil Sud (CYBHI) will lift up concrete\, state-supported resources\, real-world examples\, and will emphasize practical\, actionable insights for education and health-based practitioners.

We generate massive digital archives with every click\, swipe\, and search—but corporations\, not individuals or institutions\, control where this data lives and who can use it. When did archiving become something that machines do automatically\, rather than a deliberate act of preservation for the public good? And how did we arrive at this arrangement with platforms? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArchiving Machines chronicles the hidden history of how data came to be structured and stored\, before it could be streamed and automatically saved to the cloud. This lecture will examine how data archiving\, the computational processes of storage\, exchange\, and transmission\, have transformed memory practices and created new regimes of asymmetric access. Drawing on archival fieldwork with historic computing machines\, I trace how “archive” became a verb in computing cultures\, and how this shift has enabled corporate platforms to assert functional sovereignty over access to collective memory. By examining moments of access in the history of data management\, this work offers both a critical genealogy of our current condition and grounds for imagining alternative futures for digital cultural memory. \n\n\n\nAmelia Acker is an Associate Professor in the School of Communication & Information at Rutgers\, The State University of New Jersey. Her research on data management and digital preservation has been supported with funding from the Institute for Museum and Library Services\, the National Science Foundation\, the Sloan Foundation\, the Ford Foundation\, and the ACM History and Archiving Fellowship. Acker’s projects address the representation and loss of digital traces\, the history of data management\, and the transmission of information through time. She investigates how infrastructure and organizational practices shape the preservation\, accessibility\, and governance of data\, with a particular focus on the impact of platforms\, software\, and AI on archives and digital memory. Acker is the author of Archiving Machines: From Punch Cards to Platforms (MIT\, 2025). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Register Now URL:https://seis.ucla.edu/event/kenneth-karmiole-lecture-in-archival-studies-with-dr-amelia-acker/ LOCATION:UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Conference Center\, 425 Westwood Plaza\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://seis.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Kenneth-Karmiole-Lecture-Calendar-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Andrea Perine":MAILTO:aperine@support.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260306T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260306T100000 DTSTAMP:20260403T105212 CREATED:20260302T210818Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260302T210820Z UID:23525-1772787600-1772791200@seis.ucla.edu SUMMARY:UCLA CART Distinguished Lecture Series-Early Communication In Autism: Moving the Needle on Data-Driven Decision Making in Practice DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Center for Autism Research and Treatment (CART) invites you to the next presentation in the CART Distinguished Lecture Series. All are welcome— faculty\, clinicians\, trainees\, students\, staff\, and community members interested in the latest research on autism spectrum disorder (ASD). \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOverview: \n\n\n\nCommunication challenges remain one of the earliest concerns of parents whose children eventually receive an autism diagnosis. Many existing measures in autism only characterize communication differences but are not designed to monitor improvement over time or support clinical decision making. This presentation will describe a new tool\, the Early Communication Indicator for Autism (ECI-A)\, which is based on an existing norm-referenced\, validated measure\, and can be easily used within clinical practice. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Brian Boyd\, Ph.D. (William C.

The event will take place April 9th at 11am on Zoom (link below). Orie was part of the L.A. Rebellion film movement at UCLA. In addition to her filmmaking\, she is an educator and community organizer. Her student film Colliding Worlds (1980) emerged from the L.A. Rebellion and this conversation will center around its making\, loss\, rediscovery\, and restoration. Also joining the conversation will be Krista Riggs\, the director of Madera County Library\, and Willow Germs\, the conservation archivist at the California State Archives\, a filmmaker\, and a California Revealed Advisory Board Member. \n\n\n\nColliding Worlds: Restoring Orie Medicinebull’s 1980 UCLA Student Film \n\n\n\nApr 9\, 2026 11:00 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada) \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 998 4245 3844 \n\n\n\n\n Zoom Link \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nFor some information about the project history see below. \n\n\n\nIn 2020\, Madera County Library participated in the Digitization and Preservation Assistance program at California Revealed\, submitting films that had been stored in a wooden shed in a fire-prone area. While performing quality control on the digitized files\, Willow Germs was struck by one film in particular: a short\, independent documentary that centers on four generations of women’s relationships to their traditions and popular culture\, including acorn gathering\, powwows\, rock ‘n’ roll music\, and hand games. This faded 16mm print was Colliding Worlds (1980)\, a film made by Orie Medicinebull\, an educator\, community organizer\, filmmaker\, and tribal citizen of the North Fork Mono Rancheria. \n\n\n\nThe film documents the “People Who Live Where the Cedar Trees Start to Grow” (Wah-up-weh-tuhneum)\, also known as the Mono or Western Monache people\, and their attempts to maintain cultural traditions such as acorn collecting\, food preparation\, music\, dance\, powwows\, and games. Filmmaker Orie Medicinebull was the first woman of the Mono tribe to earn an MFA in Motion Pictures and Television Production from University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA) in Motion Pictures and Television Production\, and the first Native American woman to make a film about the Native American people of California. \n\n\n\nWillow was not able to find contact information for Orie at first\, but momentum built after sharing an excerpt of the film during AMIA’s Archival Screening Night in 2022. In January 2023\, Willow and Orie finally connected\, and in collaboration with Krista Riggs\, director of the Madera County Library\, they began to apply for grants to reintroduce Orie’s film to the public. Over the next two years\, they received two grants: a Basic Preservation Grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation to restore Colliding Worlds\, and a “Humanities for All” grant from California Humanities to support the premiere of the restoration\, set for October 2026. The premiere will be in Madera County and will focus on living culture\, creating bridges across multiple generations and multiple tribes.

Alternatively\, community-based archives have been shown to offset historical imbalances through communities representing themselves on their own terms. This talk addresses preliminary findings from a new project by the Disability Archives Lab that focuses on the ways that disabled people imagine archives differently. This project— conducted by\, with\, and for disabled people—uses community-based methods to identify current issues in archives as well as alternative approaches to archiving. Centering the powerful words of disabled people\, this research not only aims to understand the needs and desires of disabled people who have worked with archival materials but also demonstrates the critical role of disabled people in building and designing the scaffolding for a new disability digital community archive. \n\n\n\nTo attend\, email striola@g.ucla.edu for the Zoom link.

Through workshops\, conversations\, and hands-on experiences\, they will gain firsthand insight into the creative process while seeing their identities\, cultures\, and perspectives reflected in the murals. A student-centered symposium will further connect them with leaders across art\, technology\, and civic life\, opening pathways to future opportunities. Rooted in themes of unity\, identity\, mental health\, and representation\, the festival not only honors the school’s 100-year legacy—it elevates student voice\, ownership\, and imagination as central to its future.

The theme also considers how feminist and queer theorists\, artists\, and organizers have drawn on ecological processes and environmental knowledge to build new insights\, movements\, and practices. \n\n\n\nJoin us for graduate student presentations highlighting innovative research at the intersections of gender\, sexuality\, environment\, and justice. The conference will feature keynote speaker Cutcha Risling Baldy (Cal Poly Humboldt; NAS Rou Dalagurr Food Sovereignty Lab & Traditional Ecological Knowledges Institute)\, whose work centers Indigenous feminisms\, land relations\, and food sovereignty. \n\n\n\nGendered and colonial ideas of wilderness\, domesticity\, and reproduction have historically shaped landscapes and environmental policy. At the same time\, feminist and queer methodologies—from place-based storytelling to multimodal practice—offer critical tools for climate resilience\, environmental justice\, and community well-being. Around the world\, social movements resisting environmental injustice—from Standing Rock to Flint\, from the Everglades to rural India—have been led by women and gender-expansive people. Climate change and climate justice continue to affect communities differentially along lines of gender\, sexuality\, race\, and class\, revealing how struggles for ecological flourishing are inseparable from feminist and queer justice. \n\n\n\nFeminist and queer ecologies demand multidisciplinary collaboration. This year’s theme invites environmental scientists\, humanists\, social scientists\, artists\, organizers\, and practitioners to come together across methods\, disciplines\, temporalities\, species\, and geographies. It encourages experimentation with scientific inquiry\, ethnography\, storytelling\, political theory\, environmental history\, modeling\, and other forms of knowledge-making and truth-telling. \n\n\n\n\n Register Now URL:https://seis.ucla.edu/event/thinking-gender-2026-feminist-and-queer-ecologies/ LOCATION:James West Alumni Center\, 325 Westwood Plaza\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://seis.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Thinking-Gender.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260423T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260423T155000 DTSTAMP:20260403T105212 CREATED:20260402T205247Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260402T205249Z UID:23882-1776952800-1776959400@seis.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Evidence\, Expertise\, and Automation in Forensic Reconstruction DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Department of Information Studies invites faculty\, staff\, and students to its Information Studies Colloquia. \n\n\n\nPresented\, Researched\, and Written by Dr. Stacy Wood\, UCLA \n\n\n\n3D laser scanning technology has been used in forensic analysis and virtual crime scene reconstruction for at least a decade. While rendering a reconstruction involves a combination of automated tools and expert intervention\, the reconstruction collapses and stands in for myriad forms of forensic science\, many of which do not represent robust scientific consensus despite their relative ubiquity across the criminal legal system. The models produced shift both the theoretical and practical forms of expertise within the courtroom and present challenges for the long-term ability to revisit evidence. This talk uses this technology as a jumping off point to think about complex media objects that simultaneously function as legal evidence\, media spectacle and public record.

As protesters disrupted storytimes and library board meetings\, library workers\, patrons\, supporters\, and advocates have organized to fight these assaults on the right to read.

Based on a white paper collaboratively authored between community archivists and archival studies scholars\, the first half of the workshop will address the current state of academic research on community archives\, its impact on communities represented and served by such organizations\, and ways to envision and enact more equitable relationships moving forward. The second half of the workshop will give participants a chance to apply the principles and protocols to their own research projects in IS\, and brainstorm about designing more equitable community-engaged research projects in IS moving forward.
