Described in the London press as “moving pictures\, representing phenomena of nature\,” the Eidophusikon thrilled audiences by combining moving images with sound effects and music. Come find out more about this forgotten ancestor of modern cinema.\nAnn Bermingham is a professor in the Department of History of Art & Architecture at UCSB. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCSB Affiliates and the UCSB History Associates. Admission is $8 for members\, $10 for non-members. For reservations\, phone the UCSB Office of Community Relations at (805) 893-4388.

This Nano-Meeter (formerly called “Nano Café”) will provide an overview of China’s effort to become a world technology powerhouse through large-scale government investment in nanotechnology and other high-tech fields. How innovative is China’s science and technology? Will China become a world nanotech player in what is predicted to become a $3 trillion global industry?\nLeading the discussion will be Rich Appelbaum\, CNS Co-Principal Investigator and Professor of Sociology\, and Alec Wodtke\, UCSB Professor of Chemistry. Prof. Appelbaum recently returned from an extensive research trip in China\, where he and graduate fellow Rachel Parker interviewed key leaders in Chinese nanotechnology R&D. Prof. Wodtke heads a $1.5 million U.S.-China research and training partnership established by the National Science Foundation. \nChina has established itself as a global leader in nanotechnology research and development. According to British think tank Demos\, China ranks 9th in spending on nanotechnology and nanoscience and 3rd (after the U.S. and Japan) in nanoscience publications. Participants are invited to listen and participate in an informal question-and-answer session. No science background is required to attend and participate in the Nano-Meeter. \nNanotechnology is the manipulation of materials on a very small scale. With it\, scientists can create new technologies to make\, among other things\, better and faster information systems\, energy systems\, and medical devices. Nanotechnology is also\, however\, an emerging science with little known about its risks and implications. Home to CNS and CNSI\, UC Santa Barbara is one of the leading international centers for nanotechnology research. \nProfessor Patrick McCray of the UCSB History Department is a member of the CNS Executive Committee. \nThe Nano-Meeter series is a quarterly community event sponsored by CNS and CNSI.\nRefreshments will be served. This event is free and open to the public. Space is limited. RSVPs are requested. \nTo RSVP please call (805) 893-8850 or email events@cns.ucsb.edu.

She debunks the common idea that stem cell science began in 1998 and maintains that stem cell science is actually nearly a century old. History may provide lessons for researchers and the public concerned about the social\, political\, and religious status of the embryo.

Many biologists have been uneasy with seeking moral guidance from nature rather than from the more traditional disciplines that focus on ethics and morality.

Don’t miss this special event! Seating is limited. Make reservations now with the UCSB Office of Community Relations\, (805) 893-4388.\nProfessor Daniels will discuss the Santa Barbara Blues Society and the resurgence of blues. White blues bands emerged in the U.S. and England in the 1960s. Gradually some fans sought out the older and neglected African American bluesmen for more authentic renditions of the music. The white blues fans’ passion for the music led them to a systematic study of Black history and culture. They hosted FM radio programs\, wrote liner notes sponsored concerts\, and formed blues societies. In Santa Barbara we have the oldest blues society of its kind. Professor Daniels has interviewed a number of its founders\, members\, and volunteers to document the history and role of the society in the resurgence of the Black American blues tradition. \nProfessor Douglas Daniels celebrated the History Associates’ 10th anniversary as a lecturer at a similar jazz afternoon 10 years ago. A professor of History and Black Studies at UCSB since 1979\, he is the recipient of numerous fellowships\, most recently on a lecture/teaching Fulbright fellowship in Japan\, fall 2007. He is the author of Pioneer Urbanites: A Social and Cultural History of Black San Francisco (1980 and 1991)\, Lester Leaps In: The Life and Times of Lester “Pres” Young (2002)\, One O’clock Jump: The Unforgettable History of the Oklahoma City Blue Devils (2005)\, and a number of reviews\, articles\, and essays. \nFollowing the talk\, Perline Thurston\, special guest vocalist\, will join Santa Barbara’s own renowned jazz trio with Frank Frost (Professor Emeritus) on piano\, Hank Allen on bass\, and Tom Devaney on drums. \nThis event is sponsored by the UCSB History Associates.

Their reactions — both during the Third Reich and later — raise a number of vexing questions. Why did they behave in such varied ways? How truthful were they when giving oral testimony about their pasts? Do their responses have any relevance to the way in which we react to injustice today?\nAlison Owings is the author of FRAUEN: German Women Recall the Third Reich\, a New York Times “Notable Book of the Year.” This poignant collection of interviews was described by the Los Angeles Times Book Review as “a remarkable work of history that stands out from the vast library of World War II studies for its sheer intimacy and its sometimes startling perspectives. . . .” \nat the Bronfman Family Jewish Community Center\n524 Chapala St.\, Santa Barbara URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/german-women-recall-the-third-reich/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20080201T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20080201T000000 DTSTAMP:20260608T051958 CREATED:20150928T112751Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112751Z UID:10001517-1201824000-1201824000@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:The Reagan Revolution Reconsidered: How Conservatives Governed When They Finally Achieved Power DESCRIPTION:Meg Jacobs is the author of the prize-winning Pocketbook Politics: Economic Citizenship in Twentieth-Century America (2005); Julian Zelizer’s most recent book is On Capital Hill: The Struggle to Reform Congress and its Consequences\, 1948-2000 (2004).
