SUMMARY:BOOK EVENT: The Coroner's Silence w/ Terence Keel & Cerise Castle
DESCRIPTION:WHO & WHAT: Join Rep Club for a discussion on The Coroner’s Silence: Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence with author Terence Keel & moderator Cerise Castle. \nWHEN: Doors at 6:30pm\, event promptly at 7pm. \nWHERE: Reparations Club\, 3054 S. Victoria Ave. Los Angeles\, CA 90016 \nHOW: \nTICKET w/ BOOK: This ticket guarantees a seat including a signed book available for pick up at the event. \nFREE RSVP (No Book Included): This Free RSVP DOES NOT include a copy of the book and entry is based strictly on capacity at the door. Books may be available for purchase in-store. \nSIGNED BOOK ONLY: Can’t make it IRL but still want a signed copy? Order directly from their site! \nPlease email us at questions@reparations.club if you have any additional needs\, questions\, or accessibility concerns. \n  \n  \nAbout the Book: \nFOR READERS OF HIS NAME IS GEORGE FLOYD AND UNDER THE SKIN \nA LANDMARK INVESTIGATION INTO FORENSIC MEDICINE THAT EXPOSES THE SYSTEMATIC CONCEALMENT OF STATE-SANCTIONED VIOLENCE THROUGH DEATH INVESTIGATIONS \nEach year\, police officers kill over 1\,000 people they’ve sworn to protect and serve. While some cases\, like George Floyd’s and Sandra Bland’s\, capture national attention\, most victims remain nameless\, their stories untold. The Coroner’s Silence reveals a disturbing truth about these cases: coroners and other death investigators are often complicit in obscuring the violent circumstances of in-custody deaths. \nThrough rigorous research—including critical records analysis\, public health studies\, and interviews with victims’ families—this book unmasks the systemic failures within forensic medicine. Terence Keel shows how incomplete autopsy reports\, mishandled medical documents\, and strategically lost evidence effectively shield law enforcement from accountability. \nThe Coroner’s Silence uncovers how the current system of death investigation operates as a mechanism of institutional safeguarding. By highlighting the structural powerlessness of coroners and their disconnection from the communities most affected by police violence\, Keel demonstrates how bureaucratic processes can render human suffering invisible. \nTrue accountability requires more than procedural reform. It demands a fundamental reimagining of how we investigate\, document\, and understand deaths at the hands of state institutions. The Coroner’s Silence is a crucial intervention that challenges us to confront the deeply ingrained mechanisms that perpetuate systemic violence. \nTERENCE KEEL is an award-winning scholar\, the founding director of the BioCritical Studies Lab\, and a professor of human biology\, society\, and African American studies at the University of California\, Los Angeles. He is the author of Divine Variations: How Christian Thought Became Racial Science and co-editor of Critical Approaches to Science and Religion. Keel has received fellowships from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, the Russell Sage Foundation\, and the National Institutes of Health. \nCERISE CASTLE is a Los Angeles-based journalist specializing in culture\, civil rights\, criminal justice\, and human interest stories. She wrote the first history of deputy gangs inside the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. She also created\, produced\, and hosted A Tradition of Violence\, a podcast detailing the history and criminal activity of deputy gangs. That reporting earned her the 2022 International Women in Media Foundation’s Courage Award\, the American Journalism Online Award for the Best Use of Public Records\, and the American Mosaic Journalism Prize. Castle has been a Poynter Fellow at Yale University and led research at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy. She is currently a Visiting Research Associate at the University of Chicago\, and working on her forthcoming book on deputy gangs. \nCastle has also produced and hosted segments for the Emmy-award-winning nightly news program\, VICE News Tonight\, NPR\, and the nationally syndicated radio program Marketplace. Castle has also produced podcast series for Audible\, iHeartMedia\, and Wondery. Her reporting and commentary have been featured in ABC\, Autre\, Capital & Main\, The Daily Beast\, The Los Angeles Times\, The LAnd\, Los Angeles Magazine\, MTV\, NPR\, Salon\, and Vanity Fair. \nRefund Policy: At Rep Club\, we are committed to providing a valuable experience for all attendees.

SUMMARY:Funkentelechy: Langston Hughes' Blues Vision in Ryan Coogler's Sinners—Toward a Kinetic Aesthetic
DESCRIPTION:This talk will highlight the ways in which Langston Hughes and Ryan Coogler represent and exemplify salient elements of the blues ethos\, while doing so nearly a century apart in nonmusical mediums. Central in this regard are the comparatively high degrees of significance that Hughes and Coogler attribute to dancing in blues aesthetics. Additional focus will spotlight the artists’ representations of blues-based values and their methods of stimulating and/or simulating common elements of blues-based music. Parallels between Hughes’s depictions of dancers and Coogler’s funk sub-motif\, which includes P-Funk’s symbolism\, will be briefly discussed as well.
