Join the conversation
Mondays, Sep. 27—Nov. 29, 7 p.m. PST

This fall, the School of the Arts and Architecture returns with 10 Questions: If not now, when?, the fourth installment of the annual event series invites the public to join UCLA students, faculty, alumni, and community members in the virtual classroom to engage in vibrant conversation and consider how best to chart a path forward.
Last year’s series, 10 Questions: Reckoning, grappled with the profound inequities of our time, set against the context of a global pandemic, a presidential election, a racial justice movement, and the ongoing threat of climate change. This year, 10 Questions: If not now, when? will once again bring together some of the most compelling thinkers from UCLA and beyond in an effort to consider the actions we can take to address the kinds of personal, familial, communal, and global healing that is called for in this moment.
Join us every Monday at 7 p.m. PST, from Sep. 27 through Nov. 29.
