SUMMARY:Taking Charge of Change: Five Fundamental Truths for Mastering the Chaos of Life
DESCRIPTION:Taking Charge of Change: Five Fundamental Truths for Mastering the Chaos of Life With Jim Hjort \nWednesday\, Oct. 21\, 2026 | Noon PT \nVirtual via Zoom \nHosted by the UCLA Alumni Association\, open to all UC alumni \nChange is the only constant in life\, and every day we are called to reckon with this. Today\, it may be most apparent to you in national or global tumult\, a career pivot you’re contemplating\, or relationship dynamics you’re struggling to tweak or adapt to. \nHowever it shows up\, you can count on the rug continuing to shift beneath your feet. And your brain really doesn’t like that\, at least by default. In its frenzy to find stability today\, it will leap to ways of thinking and behaving that will leave you feeling even more stuck\, stifled\, and afraid tomorrow. Yet\, if you are inclined toward personal growth\, you can use the tidal forces of change to propel you to ever-greater wisdom\, inner stability\, and even growth. \nLEARN MORE & REGISTER

SUMMARY:Lineages of Workers Inquiry in the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:The 1970s saw a burst of working-class struggle in the United States. In a moment of crisis\, workers responded with courage and determination to fight back. A wave of strikes and rank-and-file rebellion led a number of feminist scholars and activists to investigate\, contextualize\, and broadcast this activity. Some engaged in oral history\, others in participant observation by obtaining jobs in different industries. They asked crucial questions about what the meaning of class relationships\, the connection between historical memory and ongoing struggles\, and the significance of social reproduction in analyzing exploitation and resistance. \nIn our present\, as younger generations enter the labor movement through union drives\, salting\, strike support\, and other paths\, this body of research and action offers valuable lessons. \nWith: Ann Bookman\, Gail Hershatter\, Vicki Ruiz\, Pat Zavella \nModerator: Patrick King \nOCTOBER 20\, 2026 | 6 PM-8 PM\nCOWELL RANCH HAY BARN\n94 RANCH VIEW RD\, SANTA CRUZ\, CA 95064

SUMMARY:Min Jin Lee - American Hagwon
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes Min Jin Lee\, the National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Pachinko\, who returns with American Hagwon—a breathtaking contemporary epic\, by turns sweeping and intimate\, that reckons with ambition and moderation\, lust and loyalty\, personal dreams and familial duty. This event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. \n“With her gift for wonderfully empathetic storytelling\, this is a profoundly generous and humane novel about duty\, family\, and the dream of a better life…. I was fully absorbed by the fates of the Koh family and\, as the novel worked its cumulative magic\, deeply moved by this masterful tale of sacrifice\, familial devotion\, and\, ultimately\, acceptance.” —Douglas Stuart\, author of John of John and Shuggie Bain\, winner of the Booker Prize \n \n“Min Jin Lee brings grand ambition\, fierce heart\, and the tenderest hope to a novel I didn’t want to end.” —Roxane Gay\, bestselling author of Bad Feminist and Hunger \nIn schools and churches\, hotel rooms and nail salons\, law firms and fried-fish shops; in cramped\, dingy apartments and luxury\, gated communities\, the men\, women\, and children in American Hagwon struggle to find satisfaction and meaning in a world that seems to grow less forgiving with each passing year. Once comfortably middle class in Korea\, John and Helen Koh and their three children—Bo\, DH\, and Mido—find their lives upended\, first by a shocking betrayal by John’s oldest friend\, then by the 1997 Asian financial crisis. \nDesperately striving to regain their footing\, they leave Seoul for Sydney and eventually settle in Southern California—where new vistas of opportunity open up for the children as their parents\, strangers in a strange land\, must adjust to a new life in which their experience and education mean little\, and they set their sights on whatever it takes to provide for their children’s futures. The Kohs\, their friends\, relatives\, and even their foes move in and out of each other’s lives as they navigate new courses across the years\, always nursing the almost all-consuming faith that education will lead the next generation to success and security. \nIn American Hagwon\, Min Jin Lee has crafted an unforgettable\, panoramic novel where the smallest of gestures can have enormous repercussions\, where the bonds of family and of memory twist and fray but rarely break\, and where willful self-sacrifice—for the benefit of loved ones and even strangers—is a kind of prayer. \n \nMin Jin Lee is the author of the novels Free Food for Millionaires and Pachinko\, a finalist for the National Book Award\, runner-up for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize\, and a New York Times “100 Best Books of the Century.” She serves as the New York State Author Laureate from 2025 through 2027. She is the 2024 recipient of The Fitzgerald Prize for Literary Excellence. Lee has received the Manhae Grand Prize for Literature\, the Bucheon Diaspora Literary Award\, and the Samsung Happiness for Tomorrow Award for Creativity from South Korea. She is the recipient of fellowships in Fiction from the Guggenheim Foundation\, the Harvard Radcliffe Institute\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. Lee is an inductee of the New York Foundation for the Arts Hall of Fame and the New York State Writers Hall of Fame. She lives in Harlem with her family.
