After the recent plane crashes, anxiety may be experienced as a partially physiological pathway, said Lauren Ng, an assistant professor of clinical psychology at UCLA. For example, thoughts lead to physiological responses such as trembling hands. That can then lead to behaviors such as avoidance. Which is then how you arrive at feelings like fear.

Few scholars have owned a topic the way that Donald Shoup owned parking. The economist and urban planner, who died last week at 86, turned his interest in what he described as a low-prestige branch of land economics — municipal parking policy — into an improbable brand of academic superstardom. “By no means am I the smartest urban planner, but I had the luck to look at something people had neglected and now agree is very important,” Shoup, who taught at the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, told CityLab’s Laura Bliss in 2018.

Throughout the Hammer Museum’s current exhibition “Alice Coltrane, Monument Eternal,” you’ll find many opportunities to listen. Recordings of all 20 of the seminal artist’s jazz albums are part of the gallery space. But around every corner are more chances to listen — and to heal. Listen to the words of Coltrane as a spiritual leader, her voice set against ambient music by her great nephew Steven Ellison (a.k.a Flying Lotus). Listen to the sounds of “Eternity’s Pillar” via a selection of episodes from the 1980s public access TV show filmed at her Agoura Hills ashram. Rest in contemplative spaces of meditation and alignment with sounds and visuals from artists reflecting on Coltrane’s broad and deep influence. A series of jazz performances every Sunday evening on a stage built in the gallery will further honor her life’s work.
