When the 2022 midterm election is over, will you be breathing a sigh of relief or will you be worrying even more and sleeping even less? What will be the implications of the results at all levels of government – local, state and national? What were the most surprising results? What are the implications for the next presidential election? Thad Kousser, Professor in the UCSD Political Science Department, will give us his overview of the most important election results. Professor Kousser studies American state and national politics, voting reforms, direct democracy, and how politicians use social media. He joined the department in 2003 and has served as chair 2016-2022. He is a frequent commentator on American politics for venues such as NPR, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times.

From the organizers: WE Gallery is proud to introduce our inaugural exhibit, "Portraits from the Anthropocene Part I: Body, Energy, Space, Time." Body, Energy, Space and Time represent the fundamental aesthetics of dance. This exhibit explores the inextricable and conflicting relationship between the human body and the gravity of our footprint on the environment. We have entered into the “Anthropocene”—a new geologic era marked by the impact of human activity on the earth. Against the backdrop of an increasingly endangered planet, this exhibit questions what it means to be a practicing artist in this time of global existential crisis. Working in a variety of media from painting to performance to video, these works express the hope that art can raise the discussion around a more ecologically sustainable future. "Portraits from the Anthropocene Part I" is a project of WE Gallery presented in collaboration with San Diego Ballet and NTC Foundation, and will be exhibited in Mandell Weiss Gallery located in Dance Place. Featured Artists: Ellen Dieter Shahla Dorafshan Ajay Junious Linda Litteral Kathleen Kane Murrell Kathy Nida Katie Ruiz Perry Vasquez Related links: WE Gallery website
