SUMMARY:Cold War Legacies and Contemporary Dilemmas
DESCRIPTION:Did the Cold War truly end in 1991?  In Part III of The Unfinished Cold War Lecture Series\, Professor Melvyn Leffler provides some surprising answers to this question while discussing the Cold War roots of today’s international conflicts. \nMelvyn P. Leffler is a world-renowned expert on the Cold War and serves as the Edward R. Stettinius Professor in the Department of History at the University of Virginia. \nHe is author most recently of an analysis of the Cold War\, For the Soul of Mankind: The United States\, the Soviet Union\, and the Cold War\, which draws on extensive research in American and Soviet archives and offers an account of the forces that constrained Soviet and American leaders in the second half of the 20th century. \nLeffler is also author and editor of many other books and articles on U.S. foreign relations.  His volume on the national security policy of the Truman administration\, A Preponderance of Power\, won the prestigious Bancroft Prize and many other awards.  Leffler has also written on U.S.-European relations in the inter-war years and on the policies of the George W. Bush administration.  He is now co-editing\, with Odd Arne Westad\, the three-volume Cambridge History of the Cold War. \nLeffler has served as the President of the Society of Historians of American Foreign Relations and has been the recipient of senior fellowships from the Norwegian Nobel Peace Institute\, Woodrow Wilson International Center\, United States Institute of Peace\, Kluge Center of the Library of Congress\, and Lehrman Institute.  In 2002-03\, he was the Harmsworth Professor at the University of Oxford\, and\, this past fall\, he was a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Christ College\, Cambridge. \nThis lecture is sponsored by the UCSB Center for Cold War Studies and International History and by the Global & International Studies Program.

SUMMARY:Early Modern Center Conference: Science and Technology\, 1500-1800
DESCRIPTION:The Early Modern Center of the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, in collaboration with the Transcriptions Project\, invites scholars to attend a conference on the Center’s 2007-2008 theme\, “Science & Technology\, 1500-1800.”\nThis one-day interdisciplinary conference will be a forum to explore the interrelated fields of science and technology in the early modern period. We conceive of science and technology as a broad range of social and cultural practices\, cultural and historical formations\, and epistemological perspectives. How and why were systems of knowledge created and proliferated? What particular scientific developments participated in the exploration of the body\, the mind\, time\, and space? How were individuals\, communities\, and nations affected by new systems of knowledge\, particular objects or hardware\, or advanced procedures to accomplish tasks? \nThe program (available online here) will consist of ten panelists representing a variety of disciplines\, as well as the following keynote talks: \nAnn Jensen Adams (History of Art and Architecture\, University of California\, Santa Barbara)\, “The Technology of Time and\nSeventeenth-Century Dutch Painting”\nKevis Goodman (English\, University of California\, Berkeley)\, “Medics and Aesthetics: On the Disease Formerly Known as Nostalgia”\nWilliam R. Newman (History and Philosophy of Science\, Indiana University)\, “Art\, Nature\, Alchemy\, and Newton: The Art-Nature Dichotomy in the Chymistry of Isaac Newton”\nOnline registration for the conference is available here. \nFor more information about the conference\, the Early Modern Center\, and the Transcriptions Project at UCSB\, please visit the conference website. \nThe conference is sponsored by the Early Modern Center; the College of Letters & Sciences (Division of Humanities and Fine Arts); UCSB Graduate Division; the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center; the Department of Theater & Dance; the Department of History of Art and Architecture; the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry; the Department of Germanic\, Slavic & Semitic Studies; the Comparative Literature Program; the Department of History; and the Women’s Studies Program.
