SUMMARY:Seminar: The Wildfires of Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:WL ARTS C159/259:\nArt & Global Health\nThe Wildfires of Los Angeles \nSpring 2025\nProfessor David Gere \n3-hour weekly seminar:\nMondays\, 10 AM–12:50 PM\, Kaufman Hall 230 \nOpen to undergraduate and graduate students across the university\, this seminar is centered on an arts-activist response to the wildfires of Los Angeles by South African photographer Gideon Mendel. Mendel’s Fire/Flood series explores the impact of climate change on people’s lives around the world. In the seminar\, we will study Mendel’s work and contribute to it by conducting oral histories with people who have lost their homes in Pacific Palisades and Altadena. Final presentations\, in TED-style\, will be complemented by an exhibition. \nThe seminar is positioned at the interface of arts-based and public health-based methods\, using examples drawn from an array of international projects—many of them created and supported by the UCLA Art & Global Health Center. Readings include texts by scholars of performance studies and allied fields (Dwight Conquergood; Shannon Jackson; Erving Goffman) alongside articles from the public health and medical literature (Paul Farmer; Deborah Glik; Arthur and Joan Kleinman). \nGraduate students are assigned additional readings and a larger-scale final project.  \nUndergrad students may apply this course to the Global Health minor. \n\nTop photo by Gideon Mendel.
