SUMMARY:Save the date: Join the UCLA Legacy 2021!
DESCRIPTION:With great excitement\, we invite you to join us on the evening of Tuesday\, April 6th\, for Join the UCLA Legacy\, a virtual event honoring our African American admits for the Fall class of 2021. Save the date to connect with faculty and staff to learn more about the many benefits of becoming a Bruin! Our success speaks for itself through these student responses. \n–“I especially enjoyed being able to discuss with the department chairs and their willingness to make sure that we constantly understood the entire college-going process.” \n–“I mostly enjoyed how the faculty and administration made me feel welcomed and that I deserved to attend the school. Even though I don’t identify with the majority of the school\, it shouldn’t stop me from pursuing my dreams.” \n–“The Legacy event was the icing on the cake that I needed to feel valued as an African American student in such a large university.” \n\nMark your calendar April 6th 2021 5:30-7:30pm\n\n\n \n\n\nStay tuned for more details coming soon!

SUMMARY:"Resemblance\, Representation\, and Resonance in Black Film and Media"
DESCRIPTION:UCLA Department of African American Studies invites you to attend the lecture series \n“Black Lives Matter—Past\, Present\, and Beyond” featuring \nRacquel Gates\nAssociate Professor of Cinema and Media Studies\, College of Staten Island\, CUNY\nAuthor\, “Double Negative: The Black Image and Popular Culture” \nspeaking on \nResemblance\, Representation\, and Resonance in Black Film and Media \nFriday\, April 30\, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. PDT\nLive streaming via Zoom \nRSVP HERE \nThe basic idea of “representation” – that onscreen images construct meaning – takes on particular urgency when those being represented have been historically ignored\, or worse\, grossly misrepresented\, throughout history. Such is the case with Black representation in film and media. As a result\, critics and scholars alike continue to theorize solutions to the thorny issues of representation. Though these conversations are not new\, their centrality speaks to ongoing problems related to the images of women and minorities in the media. Yet how often are we actually talking about “resemblance” rather than representation? And how might we begin to consider questions about quality\, taste\, and emotional resonance? This talk contemplates these aspects of cinematic representation and argues that such a shift offers new possibilities for Black cinematic engagement.
