SUMMARY:Creating Connections 2026
DESCRIPTION:Our theme for the 9th annual Creating Connections symposium on writing pedagogy is “Collaboration and Community.” This theme invites us to think about the ways writing helps us connect with our students\, colleagues\, and communities at large. In the face of dehumanizing technologies and increasingly divisive rhetoric\, collaboration becomes an act of resistance and care. This year’s symposium foregrounds how composition can be a shared practice to bring diverse–and sometimes disconnected–individuals and communities together. We will engage this theme through a range of interactive workshops and a keynote “lunch and learn” with Dr. Laura Gonzalez\, editor of Reflections: A Journal of Community-Engaged Writing and Rhetoric. Instructors will come away with a wide range of ideas to reinvigorate their teaching. \nThis event is free\, and we welcome interested UCLA graduate students\, instructors\, library staff\, and administrators from all departments and units to attend – please spread the word! Creating Connections is intended as an in-person event\, but we will provide a Zoom link (via RSVP) for those who would like to watch remotely. \nRSVP here by May 1\, 2026\n\nLocation\nYoung Research Library Main Conference Room (YRL 11360)\nZoom information will be provided via RSVP \nClick here for more information.

SUMMARY:“We play our way\, I’m proud to be me”: Masked Performance Among Contemporary Female Rappers — A Talk by Amber West
DESCRIPTION:“We play our way\, I’m proud to be me”: Masked Performance Among Contemporary Female Rappers\nA Talk by Amber West\nSunday\, April 24\, 2022\n3:00 PM EST\nOnline via Zoom\nAmber’s presentation is part of a group of 4 talks. Please click here for more information about the conference. To register for this and other April events\, please click here. \n\nAmber West is a poet\, educator\, public arts and humanities producer\, and feminist scholar. Recently\, she created and directed Whitmania\, the largest commemoration of Walt Whitman’s bicentennial west of the Mississippi. West has published two poetry collections\, Daughter Eraser (Finishing Line Press\, 2015) and Hen & God (The Word Works\, 2017)\, and performed her poetry and “puppet poems” nationally. A number of hip-hop artists have utilized masks since at least the early 1990s\, perhaps most notably MC Humpty Hump and MF Doom. Until quite recently\, masked rappers were exclusively male. Since around 2015\, some female rappers have begun wearing masks\, including Brooklyn’s Leikeli47 and Italy’s Myss Keta\, both of whom perform and appear in public only while masked. This research-in-progress presentation focuses on the unique material conditions for women rappers in today’s music industry\, and how their use of masks functions within this context.
