Looking Out/Looking In: Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus
Sun, Apr 01, 2007 @ 06:30 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
The Looking Out/Looking In series features several important classical and contemporary films viewed through the lens of social-work theory and practice.Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus (directed by Andrew Douglas, 2005) takes a captivating road trip through the creative and religious spirit of the South. The documentary travels to churches, prisons, biker bars and coal mines, revealing misfits, loners and a world of marginalized white people and their sometimes haunting culture. The film challenges notions of normality and allows us to enter the phenomenological world of the "outsider." In a discussion following the screening, Rafael C. Angulo will use the literature of Southern writer Flannery O' Connor to examine the characters and culture of the South and help us recognize redemption in the most unlikely people and places.

Did the Trojan War Really Happen
Thu, Apr 05, 2007 @ 07:00 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
How much of this fabled conflict is true and how much is myth? Acclaimed ancient-military historian Barry Strauss describes recent archaeological research that shows that the war probably did happen. But it was a different kind of war than we usually imagine: more foreign, but, in some ways, all too familiar. Barry Strauss is well-noted author and professor of history and classics at Cornell University

Science, Serendipity and the Search for Truth: Point of View
Thu, Apr 12, 2007 @ 07:00 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Science, Serendipity and the Search for Truth puts science on stage in an informal series of conversations and performances alongside music, theater, journalism, religion, film, dance and other disciplines to see what serendipitous connections might bubble up. For the second Point of View program, relativist Don Marolf of UCSB will tell us what Einstein's relativity REALLY means to the physicists who study our world. Poet, author and LMU professor Michael Datcher, will talk about the role of the writer as a witness and also his newly launched journal of literary nonfiction, The Truth about the Fact. L.A.-based choreographer Rosanna Gamson will show and tell us about her work, "Grand, Hope, Flower," which pretends to be a lecture on quantum electrodynamics, but is actually about L.A.
