SUMMARY:HOW MOSES BECAME A LEVITE
DESCRIPTION:The Bible presents Moses as Israel’s prophet par excellence and among the most prominent members of the Israelite tribe of Levi. But how does this picture of Moses square with actual history? How did the memory of an early Transjordanian holy man become part of a priestly tradition in ancient Israel? Answering these (and other) questions requires rethinking not only the biblical sources but how warfare\, economics\, and politics led to different corners of Israelite society “claiming” Moses for themselves…including the Levites. \n  \nMark Leuchter is Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Judaism at Temple University in Philadelphia. He received his PhD from the University of Toronto in 2003 and has held positions as Coordinator of Biblical Studies at the University of Sydney and as Visiting Professor of Hebrew Bible at the University of Pennsylvania. His current research focuses on the relationship between memory\, myth\, and text production in exilic and Persian period Jewish and in early rabbinic literature. His favorite band is Rush. \nEvent Flyer\nRSVP:\nE-mail cjsrsvp@humnet.ucla.edu \n\n

SUMMARY:The Dreamer and the Dream:  Afrofuturism and Prophetic Visions of Blackness
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Dr. Roger Sneed: Afrofuturism as a way of Black people expressing\ntheir identity through speculative fictions is fairly new\, and yet it is not new. We\ncan trace the Black use of speculative fiction to articulate visions of Blackness\nand critique white supremacy back to W.E.B. DuBois’s 1920 short story “The\nComet.” However\, Afrofuturism has made a resurgence\, due in part to the\nphenomenal success of Black Panther\, ongoing interest in the work of Octavia\nButler\, and the rise of the “blerd” (a portmanteau of “black” and “nerd”).\nToday’s talk uses an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as a focal point for\ninvestigating the intersections of Afrofuturism and Black Religious Thought. \n  \nRoger Sneed is the Dorothy and B.H. Peace\, Jr. Associate Professor and chair of the Religion Department at Furman University. His first book\, Representations of Homosexuality: Black Liberation Theology and Cultural Criticism was a critique of the representations of homosexuality within Black liberation and womanist theologies as well as in some forms of Black cultural criticism. He is now writing a second manuscript titled “The Dreamer and the Dream: Afrofuturism and Black Religious Thought” that will be published by the Ohio State University Press. This talk is sponsored by the UCLA Sociology Department and co-sponsored by the Department of African American Studies and the Center for the Study of Religion. \n  \nEvent Flyer\n\n
