If You Should Lose Me: The Archive, The Critic, The Record Shop, and the Blues Woman

Daphne Brooks

Thursday, March 10, 3:30 - 5:30 p.m.
Charles E. Young Research Library
280 Charles E Young Drive, North
UCLA Campus

Admission is free
Parking $12 Lot 3 or 5

Daphne Brooks, Professor of African American/Theatre Studies, Yale University presents this talk that examines the problem of iconic blues women who’ve been “lost” to history, Geeshie Wiley and Elvie Thomas, as well as the critics who’ve loved and chased after them. By placing the politics of queer archival studies and black performance theory in conversation with canonical blues historiographies, the talk will explore the aesthetics and cultural resonances of Wiley and Thomas’s rare recordings. It aims as well to trace a black feminist counter-history of record collecting and listening publics in order to tell a different story of blues lives that mattered.

We invite you to join the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs and the UCLA Institute on Transportation Studies to discuss the successes and consequences of strong women leading an industry like transportation, which has traditionally been male dominated. We've experienced the rise of female leaders both nationally and locally. What does this mean? How will it change the way we build transportation? How does it affect the way we talk about it?
