SUMMARY:Arming Mother Nature: The Birth of Catastrophic Environmentalism
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the annual Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture. This year’s guest speaker will be Jacob Darwin Hamblin; his talk will be drawn from his new and acclaimed book Arming Mother Nature. A description of the talk and information about the speaker is below. The talk will be held November 7\, 2013 7:00 PM at the Loma Pelona Conference Center on the UCSB campus. Parking is available in Parking Lot 23 near the UCSB Faculty Club.\nWhen most Americans think of environmentalism\, they think of the political left\, of vegans dressed in organic-hemp fabric\, lofting protest signs. In reality\, the movement–and its dire predictions–owe more to the Pentagon than the counterculture. In his talk\,  Hamblin argues that military planning for World War III essentially created “catastrophic environmentalism”: the idea that human activity might cause global natural disasters. This awareness emerged out of dark ambitions\, as governments poured funds into environmental science after World War II\, searching for ways to harness natural processes–to kill millions of people. Hamblin explains the history of how the Cold War coincided with and catalyzed the birth of modern environmental science. Along the way\, we see how Cold War scientists\, driven initially by strategic imperatives\, learned to think globally and to grasp humanity’s power to alter the environment. \nAbout the Speaker:\nThe author of Arming Mother Nature and other books\, Jacob Darwin Hamblin writes about the history and politics of science\, technology\, and environmental issues.  He was born in Germany and grew up on or near American military bases\, before going to college and graduate school in California\, where he earned a Ph.D. in History at UC Santa Barbara. As an adult he has lived and worked in France\, England\, and several universities in the United States. His work has appeared in the New York Times\, Salon\, and many publications devoted to the history of science\, technology\, and the natural world. He currently resides in the American Pacific Northwest\, where he is an associate professor of history at Oregon State University.

SUMMARY:Robot Caregivers and Robo-therapy in Japan: Treating the "Trauma" of Aging
DESCRIPTION:After their own children\, elderly Japanese apparently prefer robot caregivers and companions to foreign ones (in the increasingly likely event of a severe shortage of ethnic Japanese nurses and social workers). Robots are perceived by seniors\, and by politicians too\, of eliminating the socio-cultural anxieties provoked by foreign laborers and caregivers.  (And for some right-wing conservatives\, limiting the number of foreigners reinforces a tenacious ideology of ethnic homogeneity.) Already high-tech homes for senior citizens are part of a booming industry\, and specialized robots are being developed to stabilize and even reverse the effects of aging-related dementia and depression.  Moreover\, those promoting the country’s robotization argue that US$21 billion of elderly insurance payments could be saved over the next decade by using robots instead of humans to monitor the health of senior citizens\, who now comprise 25% of the population. Sociable\, interactive robots have also become the primary subjects of a new field of study named “robot psychology” and “robo-therapy.” Robertson’s talk represents a shift in focus from the more usual association of trauma with the consequences of the experience or witnessing of graphic violence. In linking aging to trauma\, she is drawing from Ann Kaplan’s feminist scholarship in which she makes the case for aging as traumatic in the sense of the elderly being as vulnerable to identity crises as are adolescents.\nThis talk is part of the IHC Value of Care series and is co-sponsored by the RFG Reinventing Japan\, the East Asia Center\, the Center for Nanotechnology in Society\, the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies\, the Department of History\, the Department of Anthropology and the Department of Media Arts and Technology.   \nhm 9/26/13
