In the past generation\, though\, neoliberal economic and political policies have reduced the prospects for collective life in a “public” sphere. This talk will discuss how care\, beginning from different ontological\, epistemological\, ethical and political premises\, can serve as an overarching critique of neoliberalism. \nJoan Tronto is the author of Caring Democracy: Markets\, Equality\, and Justice and Moral Boundaries: A Political Argument for an Ethic of Care. She is the co-editor\, with Cathy Cohen and Kathy Jones\, of Women Transforming Politics: An Alternative Reader. \nSponsored by the Hull Lecture on Women and Social Justice\, the IHC’s Sara Miller McCune and George D. McCune Endowment\, and the IHC’s Value of Care series. \nhm 1/6/14 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/caring-democracy-the-paradigm-changes/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20140113T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20140113T000000 DTSTAMP:20260420T092936 CREATED:20150928T112854Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112854Z UID:10002215-1389571200-1389571200@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Junípero Serra's Dream and the Founding of California DESCRIPTION:On Monday January 13 at 5:00 pm author Greg Orfalea will be speaking abouthis new book Journey to the Sun: Junípero Serra’s Dream and the Founding of\nCalifornia.

Kinet can be identified with classical Issos\, overlooking the plain where Alexander the Great defeated the Persians in 333 BCE; and earlier\, with a Hittite harbor named Izziya (ca. 1500-1200 BCE). The site’s archaeological span is much longer\, however. Excavations show that from prehistoric times to the Crusades\, Kinet flourished within an economic network extending at least as far as Cyprus\, and occasionally throughout the eastern Mediterranean.\nThe Kinet excavations also concluded that archaeological expectations for land-based settlements differ from maritime sites in fundamental ways. The norms for ancient Near Eastern sites would predict that Kinet’s remote location and small size entailed a modest\, self-contained existence. This port instead enjoyed enduring prosperity based on well-connected enterprise. My lecture will present an overview of the project’s findings\, and propose parameters for the archaeology of seaports\, using Kinet Höyük as guide. \nFor more information visit the project web site. \nDr. Marie-Henriette Gates (Bilkent University\, Turkey)\, received her Ph.D. in Near Eastern Archaeology from Yale University. \nSponsored by the Santa Barbara Society of the Archaeological Institute of America with support from the UCSB Departments of History and Classics. \njwil 16.viii.2013 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/kinet-hoyuk-turkey-and-the-archaeology-of-eastern-mediterranean-seaports/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20140127T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20140127T000000 DTSTAMP:20260420T092936 CREATED:20150928T112854Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112854Z UID:10002217-1390780800-1390780800@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:From Evolution to Immunology: Nature’s Contributors and the Development of a Scientific Journal\, 1869-1990" DESCRIPTION:AbstractThe British scientific journal Nature\, founded in 1869\, is now one of the world’s most prestigious scientific publications. This talk examines the ways that contributor interests have influenced Nature’s\, development using two episodes from different points in Nature’s history: a debate about evolutionary theory in the 1880s\, and a controversy about a provocative immunology paper in the 1980s. A lively 1886 discussion about George J. Romanes’s theory of “physiological selection” illustrates Victorian naturalists’ attachment to Nature as a venue for scientific debates—an attachment that transformed Nature\, from a publication aimed at laymen to one written by and for scientific researchers. In 1988\, editor John Maddox sought to increase Nature’s\, scope by personally visiting the laboratory of Jacques Benveniste\, author of a controversial immunology paper\, to evaluate the quality of Benveniste’s scientific work. Nature’s\, contributors pushed back; they strongly criticized Maddox’s actions and these criticisms influenced Maddox’s future editorial conduct. These episodes illustrate that\, far from being a passive or static feature of modern science\, scientific journals such as Nature\, are dynamic institutions whose development is influenced by the needs and goals of scientific practitioners.

It would\, as Life magazine enthused\, “do more than hand out money and wait for results…it would plan research and make results.” Remarkably\, when the Program was established\, no human cancer virus was known to exist! Indeed\, from the 1950s through the early 1980s\, few areas of biomedical research generated more excitement—or controversy—than the search for a human cancer virus. \nIn this talk\, I examine the history research on the link between viruses and cancer as a unique site for understanding the relationship between the biomedical sciences and the Federal government and how it was redefined in the context of broader debates concerning the role of the state in American society. While the management of cancer research began as the cause of administrators within the National Cancer Institute\, it soon provided a focus for a grassroots campaign demanding that the government wage a “War on Cancer” in the late 1960s. The success of this campaign resulted in the dramatic expansion of cancer virus research in the 1970s. \nYet despite spending hundreds of millions of dollars and mobilizing thousands of scientists to study cancer viruses\, the National Cancer Institute failed to identify a human cancer virus. While the War on Cancer disappointed activists and administrators alike\, it was a boon for academic biologists\, who had been among its fiercest critics. Cancer virus research played a critical role in the expansion of molecular biology. Subsequently\, the infrastructure created by the state played a critical role in the rise of biotechnology and mobilization against HIV/AIDS.\nBy following the arc of cancer virus research during these decades\, we are able to reflect on the significance of state expansion (and contraction) in the sciences for defining specific regimes of knowledge production\, citizenship\, and political economy in society at large.

Panels will bring together historians and activists building on 50 years of organizing for economic justice.\nBackground\nFifty years ago this month\, President Lyndon B. Johnson used his State of the Union Address to ask Congress to join him in fighting an “unconditional war on poverty” through full employment growth\, an all-out “assault” on discrimination andinvestments in education\, job training\, and health care. At the heart of the administration’s program was a bold plan for federal support of locally-organized programs of community action and social welfare provision developed with “maximum feasible participation” from the poor. By offering people a voice in creating local Head Start programs\, community health centers\, child nutrition\, legal services and much more\, the Community Action Program changed the dynamic of struggles for access to human services and job opportunities that had been going on for decades\, and worked in concert with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to support movements for fair labor standards and workplace democracy. \nSpeakers include:\nAnnelise Orleck- Professor of History\, Dartmouth College\nPete White- Founder & Co-Director\, Los Angeles Community Action Network\nSophia Lee- Professor of Law and History\, University of Pennsylvania Law School\nSteven Pitts- Associate Chair\, UC-Berkeley Labor Center Poverty Law/ Legal Services\nClare Pastore- Professor\, USC Gould Law School\nJosé Padilla- Executive Director\, California Rural Legal Assistance \nSee also this UCSB press release about the Organizing for Economic Democracy event.
