History and Political Economy Colloquium with Prof. Adam Sabra
2023-05-19 12:00 - 13:30 | HSSB 4065, 4065 Humanities and Social Sciences Building, UC Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, 93106, United States
The colloquium offers a forum for open, substantive discussions on how to approach political economy from a historical perspective; how to grapple with and benefit from the epistemological diversity surrounding political economy; and how a historical take on political economy can help contextualize and address urgent contemporary issues– at UCSB, in Santa Barbara/Southern California, in the U.S., and around the world – ranging from rent, inflation, and student debt to deepening, racialized inequality. For that purpose, we will center our own research and put our work into conversation across geographical, chronological, and field boundaries.
At our sixth meeting, we will discuss “Local Power, Empire, and Political Economy ” with Professor Adam Sabra.
Please note that this session will take place in HSSB 4065.
In preparation for the meeting, please contact Professor Manuel Covo for the materials. Everyone is welcome. Light refreshments will be served.
