 Lecture: The World Without Us
In "The World Without Us," Alan Weisman offers an utterly original approach to questions of humanitys impact on the planet: he asks us to envision our Earth, without us.
During his presentation, Alan explains how our infrastructure would collapse and finally vanish without human presence; what of our everyday stuff may become immortalized as fossils; how copper pipes and wiring would be crushed into mere seams of reddish rock; why some of our earliest buildings might be the last architecture left; and how plastic, bronze sculpture, radio waves and some man-made molecules maybe our most lasting gifts to the universe. Sponsored by the OConnor Memorial Lectureship Endowed Fund and presented by the sociology department.

Lecture: David Torres-Rouff: "Before L.A.: Race and Place in Los Angeles, 1781-1894"
During the 1840’s and 1850’s, Los Angeles residents often resorted to popular tribunals and organized lynch mobs to punish criminals. David Torres-Rouff, Professor of American History, will explain how in twisting these nooses around criminals’ necks, Angelenos also bound together their community, intertwining their social and polital destinies.

 Lecture: At Play in the Vineyard of Literacy: Why Language Learning is as Important as Language Acquisition.
Lecture by Michael Holquist, Professor emeritus, Comparative and Slavic Literature Yale University; Society of Senior Fellows, Columbia University. The argument is essentially that recent developments in Cognitive Psychology and Reading Science have demonstrated that working with language at all levels helps develop fundamental intellectual skills across the boards. While this may surprise no one, it will be argued further that the well known differences between acquiring a mother language and learning another language at a later stage of development actually make learning a language possibly more significant than merely acquiring one. Professor Holquist will draw on classic examples from the history of reading (Plato, Hugh of St. Victor), as well as recent work in cognitive science. Sponsored by The Andrew W. Mellon Modern Languages Initiative.
