  • Profiles in Service CELEBRATING LONG-TIME ACADEMY FACULTY and STAFF from the BOARD CHAIR
    SUMMER 2019 SABER FEATURE Profiles in Service CELEBRATING LONG-TIME ACADEMY FACULTY AND STAFF FROM THE BOARD CHAIR In this issue of Saber, we pay homage to long-time faculty members who have invested themselves and their careers into our cadets, their colleagues and the Academy. Like those who have served before them, these faculty have taught, inspired and shaped thousands of young men into ethical leaders in the community. Last year, we welcomed Father Mark Pavlak as chaplain at Saint Thomas Academy. Fr. Mark has also benefited from the “Brotherhood” at the Academy, finding a friend and mentor in long-time staff member Joe Seidel. Fr. Mark has worked closely with Joe on students’ spiritual development through campus ministry activities, service work and the sacristan committee. I’ve invited Fr. Mark to share his experience and how Saint Thomas Academy is guiding boys in their faith journey. Daniel E. Kubes ’87 Chair, Board of Trustees Dear friends! Well, I survived my first year of teaching morality to sophomore men (I’ll let you imagine the kinds of questions I received), but what a grace-filled year it was! Thanks in large part to the mentoring of long-time faculty members Joe Seidel, Kevin Zenner, and many others, I now have that pivotal first year under my belt. My hope for the upcoming school year is to devote more focus and attention on our Catholic identity here at Saint Thomas Academy. Here is what I offered last school year, and what I plan on offering again this coming school year: daily Mass (either before or during the school day), confessions three times a week, Father’s Club and Mother’s Club Masses each once a month, our monthly all-school Mass, and we also hope to continue our monthly Eucharistic Adoration in the chapel.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Making Jazz Space: Clubs and Creative Practice in California, Chile, and Siberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Alex Warner Rodriguez 2018 © Copyright by Alex Warner Rodriguez 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Making Jazz Space: Clubs and Creative Practice in California, Chile, and Siberia by Alex Warner Rodriguez Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Steven J. Loza, Chair Drawing from anthropological fieldwork in three jazz clubs, this dissertation explores the global scale of contemporary jazz practice through an examination of the communities that sustain them in Los Angeles, California; Santiago, Chile; and Novosibirsk, Siberia. These spaces, which bear striking similarities to one another both in terms of architectural aesthetics and community practices despite the vast distance between them, are investigated as instantiations of jazz space informed by logics of jazz listening, and as sites of jazz practice—a process that I call jazz anthropology. It argues that to understand why jazz practices continue to manifest anywhere, we must understand what they mean to people elsewhere—that is, beyond the music’s geographical centers of production on the U.S. East Coast. By attending to these peripheries, we can hear the music as a manifestation of jazz consciousness, as tendrils of black radical modes of thinking transposed to far-flung geographies—even ones that very few black people inhabit. To situate these practices in a longer genealogical timespan, the dissertation also includes brief historical ii sketches of jazz practice in each of the three locations in 1917, 1959, and 1990, demonstrating the long local histories that inform the music in each locale.
