ART&ARC 100: 10 QUESTIONS

RSVP

BRINGING TOGETHER LEADING VOICES FROM ACROSS THE UNIVERSITY TO EXPLORE TEN FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS.

In the fall quarter of 2018, the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture presents the inaugural offering “10 Questions,” an interdisciplinary course/public event series featuring conversations with leading scholars from across the University. Every Tuesday evening for ten weeks, four UCLA faculty members from disciplines as diverse as dance, medicine, photography, astrophysics, athletics, Chicanx studies, law, philosophy, religious studies, and more will join Dean Brett Steele to explore one question each week, stimulating dialogue and exchange, and seeding a greater understanding of the profoundly interdisciplinary nature of knowledge production in the 21st century.

Both an upper division undergraduate course and a series of public conversations open to the broader community, “10 Questions” will provide a platform for vibrant conversations that engage multiple disciplinary viewpoints.

Art&Arc100: 10 Questions sessions will be held on Tuesdays, 6:30-8:30 p.m. in Kaufman 200 with discussion sections on Fridays. Enrollment is restricted to School of the Arts and Architecture students during first pass, open to all students during second pass. Find Art&Arc100 on the registrar’s website here. 

 

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture has changed the time and location of the Tuesday, October 23rd session of 10 Questions: What is Freedom? in response to a campus wide workers strike.

The event will move to the Marymount High School Pavilion, located just across Sunset Boulevard from the UCLA campus, and will begin at 7pm to allow extra time for students and the public to arrive at the new venue. Parking is available on the Marymount campus free of charge.

The change of venue is an acknowledgment of workers concerns and signifies respect for the call by University of California’s Patient Care Technical workers as well as the UC Service, Professional Healthcare, Research and Technical workers represented by UPTE-CWA who plan to strike from Oct. 23–25.
