The recent academic tradition of the last lecture marks a faculty member’s retirement and departure from the university classroom. Unlike Randy Pausch, whose last lecture in 2008 was a response to a terminal illness, I depart from UCR in good health and good spirits, with an intent to continue to work. I will reflect on The Work, which is a rubric and orientation for how critical participation relies on a bigger imperative for social justice. This lecture will take place in the final class session of MUS 124/AST 124, “Musics of Asian America,” which is a course built out from my personal research.
Free and open to the campus community.
Reception to follow.
Co-sponsored by the UCR Department of Music and the UCR Performing Difference Faculty Commons group in the Center for Ideas and Society.
