Guest Lecture: "Preschoolers' Curiosity About Novel Words"
In the preschool years, children who become curious about words’ meanings may be making active, self-directed attempts at learning those words.
Dr. Jimenez will discuss her current study’s aim to create a measure of children’s curiosity about novel words; determine whether 3-to-5-year-olds seek information about novel words more systematically across development; and uncover the characteristics of children who are the most word-curious.

"From Veracruz to Los Angeles: The Roots and Routes of Son Jarocho:" A lecture and demonstration with Betto Arcos and Cesar Castro
Son jarocho is an important Afro-mestizo musical style from the state of Veracruz, dating back to the colonial period in Mexico. From Ritchie Valens in the 1950s to Quetzal and La Santa Cecilia today, son jarocho has found fertile ground in Los Angeles’s Chicano cultural soundscape. At the heart of its recent popularity is the practice of the fandango, an expressive synthesis of music, dance, and community-building.

Guest Lecture: "Insurrectionist Ethics: Boldly Confronting Oppression"
In the United States, many are inculcated with a faith in democracy. Many believe that social amelioration is only achieved through civil discourse and legal procedures--for the alternatives are destructive and irrational. While McBride may concede that "the cure for the ills of Democracy is more Democracy," he worries that platitudinous appeals to Pollyannaish notions of democracy and civility often confine oppressed people to collegial, moral suasionist approaches to social amelioration.
