Celebration

Celebrations—far more than mere expressions of joy or commemoration—function as complex social phenomena that reveal power dynamics, cultural transformations, and evolving relationships between humans and their environment. From a toddler’s birthday party with family and friends, to New Year celebrations with fireworks or public water fights (Songkran Water Festival), to pilgrimage festivals that attract up to 400 million pilgrims (Kumbh Mela), celebrations around the world and across cultures bring people together in appreciation and/or remembrance.

Southern California Undergraduate Linguistics Conference (SCULC), hosted by the UCLA Linguistics Department and the Bruin Linguists Society, will take place on May 17, 2025. SCULC was founded in 2010 to foster a collaborative, student-run conference for the undergraduate linguistics community.

It is no wonder why many voracious consumers of culture, both “high” and “low, both inside and outside the academy, curl up on the weekend or escape midweek drudgery with a crossword, coffee stain lining the newspaper or—to use a more contemporary metaphor—finger sliding across a smartphone.  In the same way they do with a literary text, crossword “readers” often find the crossword pleasurable, interesting, and mentally challenging.  This is not, however, to say that these harmless amusements aren’t ultimately types of ideological vehicles, however slight they may seem.

Faust, a Myth of Modernity

Myth is a living entity that develops and grows by embracing interpretations, suggestions, and reinterpretations, in what Hans Blumenberg calls a true epigenesis. The multiple forms of narrative, typical of modernity, feed on myth and continuously regenerate it, rewriting it from various perspectives—religious, social, aesthetic, political, or pop—according to the times, up to the post-modern.

Although initially dismissed as “a holiday from history” (Will), a “frivolous if not decadent decade” (Rich), and a “time of trivial pursuits” (Halberstam) (cf. Chollet and Goldgeier 2008), the 1990s have increasingly been recognized as a pivotal historical moment. Scholars have underscored its defining impact, with Wegner characterizing the decade as “life between two deaths,” framed by the end of the Cold War and the events of 9/11 (2009).

What will (or should) graduate education look like in 2035? What needs will graduate students have? How can programs best support grad students? What should grad students know now as they move from application to career that is different from ten or more years ago? 

For this guaranteed panel, we seek presentations that address the many pathways to the PhD in our current times (and beyond), as well as updated guidance and advice for graduate students from application to career. 

Potential papers might address, but are not limited to, the following: 

• Updated graduate school advice, from application to career;
