SUMMARY:Making Motion Pictures in Eighteenth-Century London
DESCRIPTION:More than 120 years before Edison and the Lumiere brothers created modern motion pictures\, a new attraction called the “Eidophusikon” opened in Leicester Square. 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.

SUMMARY:China's Role in Nanotechnology Research and Development
DESCRIPTION:Santa Barbara\, Calif. – UC Santa Barbara’s Center for Nanotechnology in Society (CNS) and the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) are inviting the Santa Barbara community to attend a casual public forum called “Nano-Meeter” to discuss China’s role in nanotechnology R&D on Thursday\, November 29\, 2007 from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. in the Faulkner Gallery at the Santa Barbara Public Library.  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.

SUMMARY:The Lost Promise of Civil Rights
DESCRIPTION:Risa Goluboff is a legal historian who argues that the New Deal\, the cold War\, and the NAACP wing of the civil rights movement redefined the meaning of civil rights\, stripping it of much of its labor and economic content at the very moment of its triumph. Sponsored by the Program in Work\, Labor\, and Political Economy and the Policy History Program
