Film Screening with Original Soundtrack by Rodrigo Sigal

February 18, 2026 | 7:00 PM

INTS 1128 – CHASS Interdisciplinary Screening Room

FREE and open to the public

Paulo Chagas, Event Coordinator

UC Riverside’s Department of Music presents a special screening of ¡Que Viva Mexico!, Sergei Eisenstein’s iconic, unfinished film project, accompanied by an original soundtrack composed by Rodrigo Sigal and commissioned by UC Riverside.

Although Eisenstein (1898–1948) never completed the film, an edited version of his original footage was released in 1979 and has since become a landmark in film history. ¡Que Viva Mexico! is emblematic of Eisenstein’s transnational aesthetic vision and of a broader historical shift—from the sensory experimentation of modern art to the mass mediation of perception in global culture.

Rodrigo Sigal’s newly composed soundtrack approaches the film from two complementary perspectives. First, he assigns distinct timbral motives to the film’s characters, forging a close identity between image and sound. Second, he structures the music through the film’s visual layers, allowing cinematic montage to inform musical segmentation. The score integrates prehispanic instruments, materials from the 1979 soundtrack, and electroacoustic elements, creating a rich dialogue between past and present.

Commissioned by UC Riverside in 2021, this work offers a powerful reimagining of a silent-film classic and resonates with themes of Mexican cultural history and ritual, including connections to Día de los Muertos and other festive traditions.

🎥 Rodrigo Sigal on ¡Que Viva Mexico!:

https://youtu.be/mO2wnUDV_Cg

Jorge Rodrigo Sigal Sefchovich (Mexico City, 1971) is a composer, cultural organizer, and professor of Music and Artistic Technologies at the National School of Higher Studies (ENES), Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Morelia, where he co-founded the undergraduate program in Music and Artistic Technologies. His work focuses on electroacoustic music and the creative use of new technologies.

Since 2006, Sigal has served as Director of the Mexican Center for Music and Sonic Arts (CMMAS), leading national and international initiatives in artistic creation, education, research, and cultural management in sound and music. In 2024, he received the Bellas Artes Medal in Music from Mexico’s National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature (INBAL).

Sigal holds a PhD from City University of London, completed postdoctoral research at UNAM, and has received numerous fellowships and grants, including Fulbright, FONCA, and support from UNAM and the DeVos Institute for Cultural Management. He is a Level I member of Mexico’s National System of Researchers (CONACYT). For over two decades, he has been a member of the interdisciplinary collective Lumínico, is the director of the Visiones Sonoras Festival, and serves as editor of the journal Ideas Sónicas.

This talk begins by thinking with Toni Morrison's novel, Beloved, and her notion of a “too thick” love. Too thick feeling is a racially gendered problem for affect theory, one that not only exposes the latter's residual humanisms but that opens onto the possibility of thinking with the minor affective registers of Black existence. Highlighting the conjunction between Black critiques of humanism and those repertoires of wayward feeling that subtend Black existence, this talk argues that too thick feeling moves us through the undertheorized racially gendered declensions and transfigurations within registers of feeling such as slowness, exhaustion, bitterness, and perseverance. Moving between Beloved and Charles Burnett's 1978 film Killer of Sheep, this talk suggests that this indeterminate genre of feeling emerges precisely through its immanent exposure to and subjection before an anti-Black world that demands but cannot abide its intelligibility.

Rizvana Bradley is Associate Professor of Film and Media and Affiliated Faculty in the History of Art and the Center for Race and Gender at the University of California, Berkeley. Bradley has been named the John Grace Memorial Philosopher in Residence at the University of British Columbia. She was the 2023–24 Terra Foundation for American Art Visiting Professor at the John F. Kennedy Institute for North American Studies at Freie Universität Berlin. Bradley is the author of Anteaesthetics: Black Aesthesis and the Critique of Form (Stanford University Press, 2023), shortlisted for the 2024 MLA Prize for a First Book and named one of the Top Books of 2023 by FRIEZE. The book was a recipient of the Creative Capital Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant. Bradley’s work examines modern and contemporary art, film and digital media, and literature through critical interrogations of aesthetic theory, Continental philosophy, and art history in order to rethink the stakes of and methods for the interpretation of aesthetic forms.

Her scholarship has appeared in Diacritics: A Review of Contemporary Criticism, Film-Philosophy, TDR: The Drama Review, Discourse: Journal for Theoretical Studies in Media and Culture, Rhizomes: Cultural Studies in Emerging Knowledge, Black Camera: An International Film Journal, Film Quarterly, and Women and Performance: A Journal of Feminist Theory. She serves on the advisory boards of October and Camera Obscura. Bradley’s art criticism has been published in The Yale Review, Artforum, e-flux, Art in America, and Parkett, as well as numerous exhibition catalogs, including for the Serpentine Galleries, the New Museum, Whitechapel Gallery, Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art, Institute of Contemporary Art Philadelphia, and the Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art. Her work has been translated into four languages.

Bradley has curated a number of academic arts symposia, including events at the British Film Institute, London, the Serpentine Galleries, London, the Stedelijk Museum of Art, Amsterdam, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York.

Her work has been supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Terra Foundation for American Art, Creative Capital, and the Andy Warhol Foundation. In 2025, Bradley delivered the annual J. Fred Weintz and Rosemary Weintz Lecture in the Department of Art and Art History at Stanford University. She has been invited to give keynotes at the Documenta Institut, Jeu de Paume, Kunstmuseum Basel, the University of Amsterdam, Rhode Island School of Design, Tate Britain, Modern Art Oxford, Utrecht University, and the Musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac. Bradley has also served as a visiting critic at the Yale School of Art, the Ruskin School of Art at the University of Oxford, and was most recently a critic and theorist in residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is on the advisory board of the Centre for Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto.

Before coming to UC Berkeley, Bradley was an Assistant Professor in the History of Art and African American Studies at Yale, an Assistant Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality at Emory University, and a Visiting Research Fellow in the Department of the History of Art at the University College London. She holds a BA from Williams College and a PhD from Duke University, and was a Helena Rubinstein Critical Studies Fellow at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.

Director: Melanie Queponds
Scenic Designer: Kerry Jones
Costume Designer: Gee-gee Brass
Lighting Designer: Ben Tusher

In 1476, famine and unrest grip a fragile Spain newly united under Isabella and Ferdinand, even as King Alfonso of Portugal presses his claim. With the Knights of Calatrava wavering in loyalty, the fledgling kingdom teeters on the edge of civil war.

Lilian Mengesha

This talk will detail insights from Dr. Mengesha’s new book Critical Dreaming: Feminist Performances Across the Indigenous Americas, which is a transnational study of Indigenous artists that stages the urgency of embodied ways of knowing amidst the colonial decimation of culture, life, and land. In the 1990s, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), and US and Canadian boarding/residential schools’ practices led to an increase in cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women from the US-Mexico border, Guatemala, Canada, and the United States. Indigenous artists aiming to recontextualize these state-sponsored instances of violence created works grappling with time, ancestry, and relationality. Dr. Mengesha interprets the works of these artists’ Indigenous contexts through an aesthetic frame she calls “critical dreaming.”

Using methods from performance studies, gender studies, and Indigenous studies, Critical Dreaming considers artists as expert world makers. Dr. Mengesha examines selected works by Lara Kramer, Regina José Galindo, Rebecca Belmore, Monique Mojica, LeAnne Howe, and Sky Hopinka, demonstrating how each materializes alternative modes of experiencing time, making kin, and communing with land. Revealing the long and interconnected patterns of feminicide across the Americas, the talk will detail how contemporary feminist artists use performance to sustain life amid devastating attempts at extermination.

Lilian Mengesha is an Associate Professor in the Department of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies, and Affiliate faculty in the Department of Studies in Race, Colonialism and Diaspora at Tufts University which occupies Massachusett and Nipmuc territories. Her research and teaching live at the intersection of critical Indigenous studies, gender and sexuality studies and performance studies. Her talk will draw from her first book, Critical Dreaming: Feminist Performances Across the Indigenous Americas (NYU Press, 2025). You can find her other writing in the Journal for Dramatic Theory and Criticism, ASAP Journal, Canadian Theatre Review and The Drama Review. In addition to research and teaching, Dr. Mengesha is a director and dramaturge for experimental performance and new works.

In the Hour of Chaos: Hip Hop Art & Activism with Public Enemy’s Chuck D highlights the transformative power of Hip Hop with some of the nation’s most insightful thinkers on the art form’s social, cultural, and political significance. Guided by Chuck D himself, the film tells the story of how artists, activists, and academics came together at UCLA to celebrate 50 years of Hip Hop cultural history. The all-star line-up of guests explores the profound impact of an arts movement that revolutionized the world.

Over much of the last 4 decades, Chuck D’s music and activism have taught so many of us. This film captures Chuck D at his best, engaging some of the nation’s leading public intellectuals on the social origins of Hip Hop culture and its continued evolution. The film covers a range of topics, including Black radical movements, Hip Hop feminisms, and the global circulation of the culture within the ever-evolving music and entertainment industries. Narrated by Chuck D, this film follows his tenure as the UCLA Hip Hop Initiative’s inaugural Artist-in-Residence. No other film captures this journey, at this critical juncture in our history, as we celebrate over half a century of Hip Hop with one of its most important and globally-recognized voices. And no other artist speaks so powerfully and eloquently about Hip Hop’s continued relevance in today’s “hour of chaos.”

Saving Turfgrass in California and the Southwest.
In a region with increasing population, temperature, and drought, and consequential declining water resources, turfgrass is often the primary target for removal or even prohibition from the landscape. Dr. Baird will set the record straight about the functional, aesthetic, and environmental benefits of turfgrass including providing tips for water conservation on lawns and landscapes. Most notably, he will highlight the UCR Turfgrass Breeding & Genetics program that is making significant strides towards developing turfgrasses with improved drought resistance.

About Dr. Jim Baird
Jim Baird has been the Turfgrass Specialist at UCR since 2008. His primary responsibilities include conducting research and providing outreach for the California turfgrass industry. Jim was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado. He received a B.S. in Landscape Horticulture in 1985 from Colorado State University, a M.S. in Agronomy & Soils in 1989 and a Ph.D. in Botany in 1993, both from Auburn University. Prior to UCR, Jim was an Assistant Professor of Turfgrass Research & Teaching at Oklahoma State and Michigan State Universities, and an Agronomist in the Northeast Region for the United States Golf Association Green Section.

"The War on Cancer: Evolution and Our Modern Environment"

Leonard Nunney, PhD Distinguished UCR Professor Emeritus of the Graduate Division
Tuesday, March 3, 2026 from 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. with Reception to follow
Presentation delivered in-person at University Extension Building Room 1101 and Livestreamed via Zoom

Description
Cancer is primarily a disease of old age, so an increase in cancer risk is an unwelcome side-effect of the benefit of living longer. But beyond this trade-off, an important but largely unanswered question is how much of our cancer risk earlier in life is due to our environment, our genes, or simply bad luck. I have been looking at this problem from the perspective of an evolutionary biologist, by first arguing (and then demonstrating) that the ability of animals to reduce the risk of cancer is an evolving trait, and then using this knowledge to identify specific human cancers that appear to have become markedly more common because of our modern way of life.

By calling in Hortense Spillers’ theory of flesh, we name the labor of Black women/femme scholars and artists who have contributed to shaping Dance Studies. We continue to interrogate racialized and gendered assumptions of personhood that underlie foundational terms and keywords in dance and performance, such as choreography, technique, performativity, and “the body.” We are interested in how academic research, aesthetic practices and teaching methodologies may contribute to disrupting or upholding hegemonic structures that condition our ways of being and perceiving the world.

Mlondi Zondi

Hybrid / Join In-Person or Join on Zoom

Faustin Linyekula’s performance practice addresses historical violence and the violence of History. Sustained in his inquiry is an effort to recover absented maternal heritage. To what extent does the recognition of this absented (maternal) knowledge reveal “truth” and transmit memory beyond the document, and how far does this recovery through performance reconsign African immaterial heritage into the logic of the archive? What kind of philosophy of history emerges through contemporary African dance?

Mlondi Zondi (they/he) is an assistant professor of global Black studies in comparative literature at the University of Southern California. They hold a PhD in Performance Studies from Northwestern University and an MFA in Dance from UC Irvine. Zondi is currently working on a monograph entitled Unmournable Void: Figuration, Violence, and Corporeal Integrity in Contemporary African (Diaspora) Expressive Arts. Forthcoming or published essays by Zondi appear in TDR: The Drama Review, ASAP Journal, Contemporary Literature, Espace Art Actuel, Liquid Blackness, Mortality, Performance Philosophy, and Safundi. In addition to scholarly research, Zondi practices performance and dramaturgy.

Part of “Transversal Re/Configurations: Flesh, Bodies, and Matter in Motion”
Current Topics in Dance Research Colloquium Series: January 08 - March 12, 2026.

– María Regina Firmino-Castillo, Curator & Coordinator.

Mlondi Zondi’s participation in “Transversal Re/Configurations: Flesh, Bodies, and Matter in Motion” was curated by the 2026 Dance GSA “Critical Dance Experiments” Conference Organizing Committee (Erika Villeroy da Costa, Chair; Michelle Cole, Co-Chair; SUR Sanford; and Sam Briseno-Jimenez) and co-cordinated with María Regina Firmino-Castillo. This collaboration centers graduate students’ vision in the forging of new directions in dance making and study.

Transversal Re/Configurations: Flesh, Bodies, and Matter in Motion was made possible through generous sponsorships from the California Center for Native Nations; the Rupert Costo Endowment in American Indian Affairs, University of California, Riverside; the CHASS Dean's Office and the Center for Ideas and Society; and the Departments of Music, Ethnic Studies, Gender & Sexuality Studies, and Media & Cultural Studies.

Many thanks to: taisha paggett (Department of Dance, Chairperson), Anthea Kraut (Department of Dance, Vice-Chair), Courtney Brubaker (Events Specialist), and Pete Pace (Technical Director) for their generous support of the Colloquium, and to Jonathan Ritter (Department of Music, Chairperson) and María del Rosario Acosta López (Professor, Hispanic Studies Department) for their vision and collaboration.

TILLY NO-BODY

A remarkable true story of resilience and love
Written and performed by Bella Merlin
Directed by Miles Anderson

March 6, 8:00pm
March 7, 2:00pm
ARTS Studio Theatre
Free and open to the public
No reservations required (first-come first-served). Doors open 30 minutes prior to show time.
The performance will begin promptly at the announced curtain time and latecomers will only be seated at an appropriate pause in the program.

Germany, 1917. A lone woman. A bottle of poison. A momentous decision…

In a deserted circus, drama, humour, music and songs tell the true story of actress Tilly Wedekind and her controlling, famous writer-husband, Frank Wedekind (Spring Awakening). When Frank robs Tilly of her acting roles he reduces her to a Nobody. Broken-hearted, she swallows poison. But following her recovery, she reclaims her career, discovers her voice, and as an 80-year-old woman she finally writes her own story. Tilly No-Body becomes a Somebody.

This internationally acclaimed, tour-de-force performance about sex and love, transformation and identity asks: Why do we stay in relationships long after they’ve turned toxic? How can we find our voices after we’ve been silenced? Can sharing our stories help us reshape our lives?

Award-winning actor and writer Bella Merlin brings her previous experience of a violent relationship: “Tilly’s resilience came through writing her own story – mine has come through playing her. It became a way of saying we can get through this, we can survive.”

BODY-WORD-VOICE is a practice-as-research initiative led by Drs. Annika Speer and Bella Merlin, funded by SoCal/OASIS/Office of Research and Economic Development. We use theatrical performance, actor-training skills, and public-speaking techniques as a means of listening to the body, finding words for the embodied information, and giving voice to those words. We explore creative frameworks and mindful practices for navigating complex emotions through shared storytelling, witnessing and listening.

Unsettling and Unbuilding

Melissa Melpignano

What does it mean to conceive the body as “home” in choreography when the historical and political reality of “home” for the performers signals dispossession, military control, and violence? This talk looks at political conceptualizations of “home” in Palestine-Israel through the choreography and performance of four solo works by Hadar Ahuvia (Israeli-American based between Boston and NYC), Leila Awadallah (Palestinian-American based in Minneapolis), Yasmeen Godder (Israeli based in Jaffa), and Farah Saleh (Palestinian from Ramallah based in Scotland).

Saleh’s What My Body Can/t Remember (2019) is the fourth part of the project Archive of Gestures, started in 2014. Godder’s Practicing Empathy #3 (2022) is the second-to-last part of a multiyear series on empathy started in 2014. These two solos stem from experiences of forced home confinement, differently motivated: military curfew for the former, pandemic lockdown for the latter. In contrast, nefesh (2024), a solo that has also been presented as a duet, explores Ahuvia’s reconnection to a pre-Zionist Ashkenazi Jewish spirituality. In YISSH (Yalla Imshi, Shway Shway Habibi), a solo presented in various iterations between 2019 and 2024, Awadallah reconnects to her Palestinian roots and the Palestinian people while immersed in the American political system. In these latter two works, the body reclaims an imagined ancestral connection and moves to rematerialize an erasure.

While the metaphor of “body as home” has been used in dance practice and scholarship to signal embodied agency, somatic refuge, or kinesthetic belonging, these four solo works expose the limits of this metaphor when the very notion of home is unsettled by historical and ongoing violence and territorial contestation. The individual political investments and trajectories of each choreographer nuance and differentiate their approaches to this shared epistemic problem of “home.”

My analysis draws on the framework I am developing in my book manuscript Unsettling Choreographies: Dancing Livability in Palestine-Israel, where I examine how choreographic practice undoes settler colonial paradigms. In this paper, I argue that Godder and Ahuvia, in their specific ways, engage in nation-unbuilding from the rubble of the ongoing Nakba, while Saleh and Awadallah unsettle the political restrictions imposed on Palestinian bodies by moving through the ruins of a history that keeps unfolding. I will specify the differences between rubble and ruins, both conceptually and choreographically, and situate my analysis in relation to recent scholarship on Palestine and Israel in dance studies. Moreover, I will problematize the notion of “home” in this specific context, considering it not only epistemically but in the material terms of architecture, urban planning, and land governance.

This talk also offers an opportunity to discuss the relationship between dance studies and MENA studies, and the contributions that choreographic and performance-based frameworks offer for thinking about Palestine and Israel, both scholarly and publicly.

Melissa Melpignano is a dance scholar and practitioner, working as Assistant Professor of Dance at the University of Texas at El Paso. She received her PhD in Culture and Performance from UCLA. Her research at large investigates how dance and choreography contribute to theorizations of conflict and settler colonialism in contested and militarized regions (such as Palestine-Israel and the Mexico-U.S. border) and in public discourses (particularly around healthcare access and water distribution). Her current book project, Unsettling Choreographies: Dancing Livability in Palestine-Israel, examines choreographic practices that, since the 2014 war on Gaza, denormalize and invalidate settler-colonial ideas and mechanisms, thereby generating new trajectories and models of livability. Her article “A Necropower Carnival: Israeli Soldiers Dancing in the Palestinian Occupied Territories” (TDR: The Drama Review, 67, 1, 2023), received the 2024 Selma Jeanne Cohen Prize in Dance Aesthetics from the American Society for Aesthetics. Her scholarship also appears in Dance Research Journal, Journal of Dance Education, The Oxford Handbook of Jewishness and Dance, 50 Contemporary Choreographers (3rd edition), Contemporary Choreography (3rd edition), among others.

Kristofferson San Pablo describes ghosts as the people, images, and places that linger in memory. They include family and friends, the landscape of Southern California, and the passing images and stories that crowd our screens.

The boundary between online and offscreen life has all but vanished. Our content feeds, shaped by algorithms, bring us moments of humor, joy, grief, and violence in the same breath. These are at once personal and shared, local and global. Working across painting, drawing, installation, and sculpture, San Pablo explores the intersections between our shared culture and personal experience to explore the absurdities, contradictions, and histories hidden within.

For All the Ghosts is Kristofferson San Pablo’s first solo exhibition in the Inland Empire, the region where the artist grew up. For All the Ghosts is a homecoming, and home is never without its ghosts.

Bios

Kristofferson San Pablo is a Filipino artist based in Los Angeles. San Pablo’s work moves between the autobiographical (portraits of the people and places around him) and observations of the world through his lens as an observer/participant in pop culture. In his work, scenes of everyday life evoke ideas about identity, beauty and humor but are met with ideas about authority, classism and piracy. To San Pablo, those oppositions serve as a way to create a type of light-hearted but also critical narrative that illustrates his experience growing up in California.

Jennifer Frias is visual arts curator and educator whose multidisciplinary experience spans curatorial practice, museum education, community engagement, and collections management. She currently serves as Director/Curator of the College of the Arts Galleries at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF). Prior to her role at CSUF, Frias was Director of Education and Academic Programs at UCR ARTS / California Museum of Photography, where she co-founded OFF THE BLOCK, an award-winning summer intensive for high school filmmakers. Films from the program have been recognized by PBS SoCal, the Palm Springs International Film Festival, and Sundance. She previously held curatorial positions at UCR’s Sweeney Art Gallery and Culver Center of the Arts, and worked in the art collections at The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens. Her curatorial projects focus on artists practices and processes, marginalized narratives, and the intersections of art and technology, often bridging contemporary visual culture with classroom curriculum and broader community engagement.

The Program

The Oxford and Cambridge Global Leadership Program is an immersive international academic experience designed to develop leadership capability, global awareness, and strategic insight in the context of today’s rapidly evolving business, political, and technological environment.

The 2026 program builds on a long-established Oxford-based Spring Break format and introduces a dedicated academic day visit to Cambridge. This allows students to engage with two of the world’s most distinguished academic environments within a single program. The primary academic base remains Mansfield College, one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford.

While in Oxford, students will participate in a combination of academic sessions and industry-focused visits. These include an exclusive guided visit to the BMW Oxford Plant, home of the electric MINI, offering insight into advanced manufacturing, automation, and sustainable production. Students will also engage with the Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre, exploring how leading institutions support innovation, leadership development, and new venture thinking within a global framework.

During the Cambridge visit, students will attend academic sessions hosted at one of the colleges of the University of Cambridge, providing first-hand exposure to a second elite academic setting. The academic experience is complemented by punting along the River Cam, giving students the opportunity to experience one of Cambridge’s most iconic traditions while exploring its historic college environment.

Academic Themes

The program is structured around four integrated academic themes aligned with the published schedule:

Global Leadership and the Changing World OrderExploring leadership in the context of geopolitical change, globalization, slowbalization, and evolving international power dynamics.

Brand Leadership, Digital Strategy, and Team DynamicsExamining how organizations build brands, manage digital strategies, and form effective teams in competitive global markets.

Technology, Operations, and Sustainability LeadershipFocusing on technological disruption, operational strategy, and leadership responses to sustainability and industrial change.

Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Strategic Decision MakingAddressing AI-driven market trends, cybersecurity challenges, and strategic leadership in a digitally connected global economy.

Faculty and Speakers

Students will be taught by a group of academics and practitioners, including faculty affiliated with the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, senior industry leaders, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs with experience in scaling and exiting businesses, as well as experts from leading UK institutions. Academic Experience and Outcomes

By attending the Oxford and Cambridge Global Leadership Program, students will:Enhance leadership capability, intellectual confidence, and global awarenessDevelop a deeper understanding of the forces shaping global business and policy in 2026Gain exposure to elite academic environments that have educated generations of global leadersUpon completion, students will be awarded a Certificate of Attendance from Mansfield College, one of the 39 colleges of the University of Oxford.

The History

In 2010, the UCR School of Business launched the UCR at Oxford program during Spring Break. The 2026 cohort marks UCR’s 16th program, with hundreds of UCR students having previously spent their Spring Break in residence at Oxford.

Past cohorts have participated in customized academic sessions and visits to significant cultural and corporate sites, including Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill, and BMW’s Oxford plant, home of the electric MINI. The addition of a Cambridge academic visit in 2026 further enhances the academic breadth of this well-established program.

The Program

The Oxford and Cambridge Global Leadership Program is an immersive international academic experience designed to develop leadership capability, global awareness, and strategic insight in the context of today’s rapidly evolving business, political, and technological environment.

The 2026 program builds on a long-established Oxford-based Spring Break format and introduces a dedicated academic day visit to Cambridge. This allows students to engage with two of the world’s most distinguished academic environments within a single program. The primary academic base remains Mansfield College, one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford.

While in Oxford, students will participate in a combination of academic sessions and industry-focused visits. These include an exclusive guided visit to the BMW Oxford Plant, home of the electric MINI, offering insight into advanced manufacturing, automation, and sustainable production. Students will also engage with the Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre, exploring how leading institutions support innovation, leadership development, and new venture thinking within a global framework.

During the Cambridge visit, students will attend academic sessions hosted at one of the colleges of the University of Cambridge, providing first-hand exposure to a second elite academic setting. The academic experience is complemented by punting along the River Cam, giving students the opportunity to experience one of Cambridge’s most iconic traditions while exploring its historic college environment.

Academic Themes

The program is structured around four integrated academic themes aligned with the published schedule:

Global Leadership and the Changing World OrderExploring leadership in the context of geopolitical change, globalization, slowbalization, and evolving international power dynamics.

Brand Leadership, Digital Strategy, and Team DynamicsExamining how organizations build brands, manage digital strategies, and form effective teams in competitive global markets.

Technology, Operations, and Sustainability LeadershipFocusing on technological disruption, operational strategy, and leadership responses to sustainability and industrial change.

Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Strategic Decision MakingAddressing AI-driven market trends, cybersecurity challenges, and strategic leadership in a digitally connected global economy.

Faculty and Speakers

Students will be taught by a group of academics and practitioners, including faculty affiliated with the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, senior industry leaders, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs with experience in scaling and exiting businesses, as well as experts from leading UK institutions. Academic Experience and Outcomes

By attending the Oxford and Cambridge Global Leadership Program, students will:Enhance leadership capability, intellectual confidence, and global awarenessDevelop a deeper understanding of the forces shaping global business and policy in 2026Gain exposure to elite academic environments that have educated generations of global leadersUpon completion, students will be awarded a Certificate of Attendance from Mansfield College, one of the 39 colleges of the University of Oxford.

The History

In 2010, the UCR School of Business launched the UCR at Oxford program during Spring Break. The 2026 cohort marks UCR’s 16th program, with hundreds of UCR students having previously spent their Spring Break in residence at Oxford.

Past cohorts have participated in customized academic sessions and visits to significant cultural and corporate sites, including Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill, and BMW’s Oxford plant, home of the electric MINI. The addition of a Cambridge academic visit in 2026 further enhances the academic breadth of this well-established program.
