Two leading scholars offer complementary views\, exploring both civic decision-making and social practices\, Aristotelian theory and cultural context\, continuity of past with present and the distance between them. Together they offer new perspectives on the problem of re-imagining the commons today. \nGreg Anderson is the Ohio State University Department of History’s specialist in the history of ancient Greece. He is a graduate of the universities of Newcastle and London in his native Britain\, and holds MA\, MPhil\, and PhD degrees in Classics from Yale University. Anderson’s primary research areas are archaic Greece\, classical Athens\, and social theory. His work explores articulations between culture\, politics\, and the production of material life. His first book\, The Athenian Experiment (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press\, 2003)\, addressed the cultural implications of the shift from a narrow oligarchic regime to a more socially inclusive political formation in pre-classical Athens. Among his more recent publications\, one article reconsiders the cultural construction of “tyranny” in archaic Greece\, while another makes a case for seeing the classical Greek “state” as a cultural “effect\,” the product of a complex entanglement between the material and the ideational. His current book project (Illiberal Athens) is a postmodern Marxist “social ecology” of classical Athens\, an account of the inequalities\, the exploitations\, and the other costs of producing a “free society” in Greek antiquity. \nJosiah Ober\, the Constantine Mitsotakis Chair in the School of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford University\, specializes in the areas of ancient and modern political theory and historical institutionalism. He has a secondary appointment in the Department of Classics and a courtesy appointment in Philosophy. His most recent book\, Democracy and Knowledge: Innovation and Learning in Classical Athens\, was published by Princeton University Press in 2008. His ongoing work focuses on the theory and practice of democracy and the politics of knowledge and innovation\, Recent articles and working papers seek to explain economic growth in the ancient Greek world\, the relationship between democracy and dignity\, and the aggregation of expertise. \nHe is sole author of about 60 articles and chapters and several other books\, including Fortress Attica (1985)\, Mass and Elite in Democratic Athens (1989)\, The Athenian Revolution (1996)\, Political Dissent in Democratic Athens (1998)\, and Athenian Legacies (2005). He has held residential fellowships at the National Humanities Center\, Center for Hellenic Studies\, Univ. of New England (Australia)\, Clare Hall (Cambridge)\, Center for the Advanced Study of the Behavioral Sciences \, and Univ. of Sydney; research fellowships from the ACLS\, NEH\, and Guggenheim; and has been a visiting professor at University of Michigan\, Paris I-Sorbonne\, and UC-Irvine. Before coming to Stanford he taught at Montana State University (1980-1990) and Princeton University (1990-2006). \nSponsored by the Department of Classics\, the Department of History\, the Department of Political Science and the IHC’s Idee Levitan Endowment as part of its Public Goods series. \njwil 20.i.2012 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/using-the-ancient-greeks-to-think-about-public-goods-a-dialogue/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20120216T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20120216T000000 DTSTAMP:20260421T151142 CREATED:20150928T112836Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112836Z UID:10001805-1329350400-1329350400@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:UCSB Associated Students History Initiatives DESCRIPTION:[Note: This event was originally scheduled for Feb. 2.]\nThe Living History Project is an exciting new effort that uses a variety of media\, including archival materials\, interviews\, and video to bring together stories and remembrances about the role UCSB students have played in shaping the campus throughout the years. \nAssociated Students Living History Project Coordinator Mahader Tesfai will present his work developing the Associate Students’ Living History Project.\nA.S.

A Conference on the Emerging Historiography of the Chicano Movement DESCRIPTION:This is the first major confernce on the emerging historiography of the Chicano Movement as witnessed by the several scholars who will be presenting on their recently published books or on their book projects on the Movement. More than 40 years after many of the key events of the Chicano Movement\, historians and other scholars with the distance of time are now rexamining and assessing the various aspects of the most significant civil rights and empowerment struggle by Chicanos in the United States. This conference will call attention to the emergence of what we can now call Movement Studies as part of Chicano Studies.\nWe are very excited about the pathbreaking nature of this conference and I along with my colleagues and students in the Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies and the Chicano Studies Institute here at UCSB would like to invite you to join us for the conference. \nThank you\, \nMario T.
