UCTV: Paola Capó-García: Poet Laureate on Humor, Intimacy, and Voice in Poetry

Poetry becomes more approachable when it reflects everyday language, humor, and lived experience. San Diego Poet Laureate Paola Capó-García explores how graduate study, mentorship, and workshops shape her writing and sense of voice. Capó-García describes building poems through experimentation, including physically cutting and rearranging pages, and links her work to family stories and identity. As poet laureate, she focuses on widening access through public readings, workshops, and multidisciplinary projects that mix poetry with visual art, zines, music, and experimental short films. She also advocates teaching beyond a narrow canon so more students can hear themselves in poems and view arts and humanities training as a foundation for communication skills.

UCTV: From Sleepy Lagoon to Zoot Suit: The Irreverent Path of Alice McGrath

The Sleepy Lagoon case of 1942 became one of the most racially charged trials in U.S. history. Twenty-two Mexican American youths, mostly teenagers, were tried en masse for the death of José Díaz, though no witness placed them at the scene and the cause of death was never established. Denied fair treatment, they faced a biased judge and jury, with twelve sentenced to San Quentin. In this documentary film, UC Santa Cruz’s Bob Giges highlights the work of Alice McGrath, who was moved by the injustice and dedicated herself to the defense effort, visiting the imprisoned youths, organizing community support, and coordinating national fundraising. In 1944, the convictions were overturned on appeal, marking a rare victory for the Mexican American community. The case, later dramatized by Luis Valdez in Zoot Suit, is remembered as a turning point in civil rights and Chicano identity.

Using models and a microscope, Eric shows students fern spores and the different life stages of ferns. Eric helps viewers understand what features have allowed ferns to persist on Earth for millions of years, while adapting to new conditions. Eric also provides a glimpse of what it’s like to be a field biologist, sharing stories and photos of the field work he’s conducted in the remote Marquesas Islands, to explore the profusion of ferns on islands.

Open Yale Courses: The American Novel Since 1945 – 20: Philip Roth, The Human Stain

In this lecture Professor Hungerford discusses how the novels we read are shaped by legal and market constraints. She traces a history of censorship from the Comstock laws, to the policing of Joyce’s Ulysses and Ginsberg’s Howl, and shows how changes in publishing practices have tended to penalize more unusual, less profitable books. Hungerford also touches on the canon debates of the 80s and 90s (citing John Guillory and Toni Morrison), and the issues of intellectual property and internationalization raised by digital literature. Finally, she points to some ways that Philip Roth, despite his controversial representations of Judaism and of women, succeeds in tackling fundamental human concerns.
