There’s no place like home. For Jennifer dos Santos, the memorable movie line is a fitting description of a career coming full circle. On October 1, dos Santos began her tenure as the new assistant dean of the School of Social Sciences, stepping into the school’s top staff leadership role after serving for the summer in an interim capacity. The appointment marks a particularly meaningful milestone for the Anteater alumna who found her professional footing in social sciences more than a decade ago. ⁠ ⁠ “The opportunity to be back in social sciences feels like a homecoming,” she says. “Many of the people I got to know in my previous roles are still here, along with the strong sense of community that I loved being a part of. I’m excited to reconnect, get to know the many new members who’ve since joined the school, listen and learn from them, and continue finding ways to bring people together around our shared mission.”⁠ ⁠ Building community is a hallmark of the people-centric leadership style dos Santos has honed over her nearly two-decade career at UCI. That journey has taken her to five departments spanning four different schools, including African American studies and English in humanities; economics and anthropology in social sciences; and math in physical sciences before she landed the assistant dean position in social ecology. Along the way, dos Santos developed a deep understanding of university operations and the complexities of supporting academic units, while finding that the most rewarding part of understanding and refining administrative puzzles and processes was getting to know and work alongside the people behind them. ⁠ ⁠ More at our link in bio.

FMS major Olivia Lara Maciejewski recently served as a Development Intern for Color Force and Temple Hill Entertainment! Working with industry executives, Olivia provided script coverage for both features and television series to determine production potential. When asked how her time at FMS prepared her for these internships, Olivia said, “While my internships taught me to evaluate what makes a script strong from an executive’s perspective, my classes have given me the analytical foundation to understand why those creative choices work and how they contribute to the impact a story makes on audiences.” Find Olivia’s full story on our website! — Image Description: Olivia Lara Maciejewski smiling and standing in front of a tree #UCI #UCIHumanities #UCIFMS Olivia Lara Maciejewski smiling

TUESDAY, OCT. 6th at 2PM-4:30PM, Humanities Gateway 1030 Hollywood & Labor: AI, Technology, and the Future of Work in the Entertainment Industry Join researchers, workers, and labor leaders for a conversation about how technology is changing contemporary Hollywood. Speakers will explore how new technologies are transforming what it means to work in the US entertainment industry and will answer questions about the future of Hollywood. Work in US film and television production has been undergoing substantive changes: streaming has transformed how we consume film and media; the logics of Silicon Valley have altered Hollywood production practices, and artificial intelligence (AI) poses both possibilities and threats to the creative labor underpinning media production. These shifts have raised significant questions over the compensation, creative freedom, intellectual property, right of publicity, and overall labor conditions of creative workers. This symposium will explore these developments to better understand current and future challenges to how media is made, what sort of narratives are told, whose perspectives matter, and what values are to drive how media is produced in Hollywood. Speakers will include Miranda Banks (Professor, Film, Television and Media Studies, Loyola Marymount University) and Kate Fortmueller (Associate Professor, Film, Media and Theater, Georgia State University), authors of the recent Boom and Bust: How Streaming Broke Hollywood Workers (UC Press, 2026), Jillian Arnold (Labor Expert, IATSE), Ellen Crawford (SAG-AFTRA), and Jack Lerner (Clinical Professor of Law, UC Irvine). ***Co Sponsors: Department of Film and Media Studies, UCI Labor Center, Department of English*** - Image Description: Photo 1: A film set with text reading: “Hollywood & Labor: AI, Technology, and the Future of Work in the Entertainment Industry.” Photo 2: A collection of guest speakers, with text reading “Featuring: Jillian Arnold, Labor Expert; Miranda Banks, Professor; Ellen Crawford, SAG-AFTRA; Kate Fortmueller, Professor; Jack Lerner, Professor.” #UCI #UCIHumanities #UCIFMS A film set with text reading: “Hollywood & Labor: AI, Technology, and the Future of Work in the Entertainment Industry.”
