Two exciting author events happening soon in the Bookstore.

10/20 12-1:30pm:
Join UC San Diego Associate Dean and Professor James C. Nieh, author of The Language of Bees, for an engaging look at how social bees communicate through movement, scent, vibration, sound, and other remarkable signals.

Drawing on decades of field and laboratory research, Nieh explores the surprisingly complex ways bees communicate and connect.

📚 Featuring:
• Author discussion
• Q&A
• Book signing
• Local honey tasting 🍯

10/21 5-7pm:
Join us for an intimate evening with award-winning public space practitioner, researcher and author Jay Pitter, celebrating her latest book, Black Public Joy.

Black Public Joy explores Black public joy histories, sacred rituals, movements, dialects, design approaches and contemporary expressions—situating them within broader universal themes such as dignified belonging, healthy spatial entitlement and co-stewarding one another’s public joy. The book intentionally bends the narrative arc away from harm and toward collective flourishing, positioning public joy as civic, cultural and spatial infrastructure.

Since its release, Black Public Joy has built considerable momentum. The book was featured on the Forbes Summer Reading List and longlisted for the 2026 Toronto Book Awards, and Jay has brought the work to audiences across Canada and the U.S., including two talks at Harvard University.
