Talk given by John Sullivan a PhD candidate and Quinn Fellow in the History Department at Northwestern University. Between 1788 and 1793, the Frenchman Louis-Benjamin Fleuriau de Bellevue (1761–1852) trekked the length of Italy and climbed its Alpine peaks, a long sojourn that capped his years of training as a geologist and natural historian. Toward the end of his journeys, he passed through Sicily and Calabria, in the peninsula’s far south, to observe the devastating aftermath of a series of earthquakes that had rocked the region in 1783. In this talk, John Sullivan will incorporate Bellevue’s travel notebooks into a rich body of evidence documenting the various historical methods and genres used to comprehend earthquakes and their attendant phenomena in eighteenth-century Naples and Guatemala, kingdoms then within a common Bourbon imperial sphere. Bringing together natural histories, like Bellevue’s, as well as chronology, conjectural history, exemplary history, and bureaucratic testimonies, Sullivan will reveal what historically pregnant moments earthquakes were. On one hand, he will demonstrate how different sociopolitical contexts shaped the types of seismic histories written on either side of the Atlantic. On the other, he will point up the central role of cities as a throughline uniting many of these historical narratives.

MODERATOR: · Jose Loya, Assistant Professor of Urban Planning, UCLA Luskin School of Public Policy SPEAKERS: · Sonya Falcone, Partner, Daylight Community Development, UCLA Anderson MBA 2019 · Devean Jamar George, President, Building Blocks · Adriana Quiquivix, Assistant Director of Housing, A Community of Friends; UCLA Luskin MURP 2016 · Malika Billingslea, Senior Development Advisor, NEOO Partners Inc. DESCRIPTION: Housing development generates numerous professional opportunities in development, financing, and related sectors, yet the field affords relatively few opportunities to women and people of color. Nearly 111,000 of the 112,000 real estate development companies in the U.S. are white-owned, and only about a third of the workforce is women and 2% of C-level positions are held by Black men. California is adopting reforms to increase homebuilding, both to improve affordability and address racial and ethnic disparities in housing outcomes, but more housing production also offers the possibility of addressing disparities in the real estate sector itself. This panel, featuring Los Angeles-based Black and women housing development professionals, will discuss the challenges and opportunities for advancing diversity and inclusion in the field. During the conversation, they will address questions such as: How can people from underrepresented groups enter and succeed in the development industry, and housing development specifically? What barriers keep them from doing so, and how can those barriers be broken down? And what benefits could come from a more diverse development sector, both for individuals and society? Registration is Free. Visit the Event Page to sign up. Optional Parking in UCLA Parking Structure 4 Visitor Area parking is available at rates of $3-$15 (1 hour to All Day) for Pay by Spaces. Location: Marion Anderson Hall 110 Westwood Plaza Los Angeles, CA 90024

In this UCLA Luskin Lecture, experts in housing and real estate will discuss what they and others are doing to address the challenges of limited wealth, investment, and ownership in Black communities, and to improve housing opportunities in those neighborhoods Housing and real estate development were instrumental in the concentration of Black disadvantage in U.S. cities. Government and private actors erected barriers to investment in Black communities and homeownership by Black households, producing a system that equates housing conditions with race. Now, many Black neighborhoods are locked in a downward spiral of devaluation, disinvestment, and deterioration. When investments are made, low homeownership rates in Black neighborhoods mean many longtime residents do not benefit from rising property values, and they are increasingly priced out of rental housing as well. This panel discussion will feature Devean George, a three-time NBA champion with the Lakers and current president of Building Blocks, a housing development company in Minneapolis; Malcolm Johnson, CEO of Langdon Park Capital, which invests in affordable and workforce housing in Black and Latino communities; and D’Angelos Svenkeson, CEO of NEOO Partners, a commercial real estate development and planning firm. In a session moderated by Professor Michael Lens, they will discuss the history of Black disadvantage in U.S. cities and provide real-world examples of how they and other Black leaders are investing in Black communities and housing.

Join us for an afternoon of music and memories to celebrate UCLA’s acquisition and digitization of Rev. Shuichi Thomas Kurai’s audiovisual holdings. Rev. Tom was a well-known taiko teacher and performer in the greater Los Angeles area as well as a Soto Zen priest. Taiko is a tradition of Japanese drumming that is immensely popular in Japan, North America, and Europe. For Japanese Americans, taiko is a heritage practice and a site of intense contemporary creativity. Rev. Tom was known for both. We will share footage from his extensive personal video collection documenting forty years of his activities as a taiko master. His former student, ethnomusicologist Deborah Wong, will provide a short keynote, followed by taiko performances by the Taiko Center of Los Angeles (Rev. Tom’s ensemble, now led by Maceo Hernandez) and UC Riverside’s Senryu Taiko. Rev. Gyokei Yokoyama from Sozenji Buddhist Temple will provide a blessing. Also performing will be Terry Nguyen (UCR’s current taiko instructor) and Shih-Wei Wu (a former student of Rev. Tom’s). The Taiko Center of Los Angeles (TCLA) was founded by Reverend Shuichi Thomas Kurai in 1996. It members perform throughout Southern California, the U.S., and in Japan as well. Maceo Hernandez has served as its Artistic Director since 2018. Senryu Taiko is an intercollegiate Taiko group, meaning that it was founded and has been maintained by college students. There are countless other intercollegiate Taiko groups throughout North America, and nearly every University of California campus is home to an intercollegiate Taiko group. Senryu Taiko is composed of college students who have spent a year or more learning Taiko-playing techniques and applied those techniques to teaching newcomers and writing Taiko music exclusive to Senryu Taiko. One unique aspect of Senryu Taiko, an aspect that is rare amongst the intercollegiate Taiko community, is that members of the group build the Taiko used in rehearsal and performance. Thus, Senryu Taiko does not purchase professional, manufactured Taiko, but instead builds Taiko from scratch using wine-barrels and traditional Taiko-making techniques. Keynote Speaker: Deborah Wong Deborah Wong is an ethnomusicologist, Professor of Music at the University of California, Riverside, and the chair of UCR’s Department Ethnic Studies for AY 2023-24. She has written three books: Louder and Faster: Pain, Joy, and the Body Politic in Asian American Taiko (2019), Speak It Louder: Asian Americans Making Music (2004), and Sounding the Center: History and Aesthetics in Thai Buddhist Ritual (2001). She served as editor for Nobuko Miyamoto’s extraordinary memoir, Not Yo’ Butterfly: My Long Song of Relocation, Race, Love, and Revolution (2021). With Sherrie Tucker and Jeremy Wallach, she is a series editor for the Wesleyan University Press Music/Culture series. Active in public sector work at the national, state, and local levels, she serves on the boards of the Chinese American Museum DC and Great Leap. Her happiest hours of the week are spent going on air with her weekly radio show Gold Mountain for KUCR 88.3 FM in Riverside. She was a member of the Taiko Center of Los Angeles for many years and still dances bon-odori every summer in Southern California Obon gatherings. She worked with Garrett Kurai to house Rev. Tom Kurai’s extensive personal archive at UCR, UCLA, and the Japanese American National Museum. This event is co-sponsored by the UC Riverside Department of Music, the UCLA Center for Community Engagement, the UCLA Asian American Studies Center, the UCLA Paul I. and Hisako Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies, and the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive.
