Follow the Flock

When you hear and see the parrots of Los Angeles do you ever wonder where they’re headed? Roosting sites are a wonderful way to observe a flock of parrots and parakeets gather during winter evenings. We launched the Free-flying Los Angeles Parrot Project (FLAPP), where we’re looking closely at the DNA of Red-crowned Parrots and Lilac-crowned Parrots and collecting community science observations along the way. Native to opposite coasts of Mexico, the Red-crowned Parrots and Lilac-crowned Parrots never meet but here in the city they mingle, hybridize, and roost together!

An Early Evening of Objects, Performance, and Prose

Talk by Prof. Kristin Oberiano

"The Pacific island of Guåhan is the land of the Indigenous CHamoru people. This unincorporated territory – read “colony” of the United States— is also home to thousands of Filipinos who have settled on the island. This talk examines the relationships between CHamorus and Filipinos to think about the dynamics of settler militarism within the US empire.
