SUMMARY:"The Calorie\, Development\, and War in Mandate Palestine\, 1915-1945"
DESCRIPTION:Sherene Seikaly\nEvent Description:\nThis talk explores British economic policy in the Middle East in general and Palestine specifically during WWII. Scholarly depictions have focused on the importance of measuring and realizing economic growth. This analysis looks instead at the construction and provision of basic needs during times of scarcity. It shows how British officials sought to realize economy through new technologies such as the calorie and the emerging science of nutrition. Far from an imperative to rationalize the colonized body\, this effort was born of the exigencies of war. British colonial officials introduced new conceptions of development\, poverty\, health\, and productivity throughout the war. Their failures reveal the politics of basic needs. They also show how paradigms such as colonial development and sciences like nutrition promised the universal but instead enforced and were constituted by exclusion. \nAbout the Speaker:\nSherene Seikaly is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. She is the editor of the Arab Studies Journal\, co-founder and co-editor of Jadaliyya e-zine\, and an editor of Journal of Palestine Studies. Her book\, Men of Capital: Scarcity and Economy in Mandate Palestine (Stanford University Press\, 2016) explores how Palestinian capitalists and British colonial officials used economy to shape territory\, nationalism\, the home\, and the body. She has published in academic journals such as International Journal of Middle East Studies and Journal of Middle East Women’s Studies and several online venues. \nRSVP:\nThis event is free\, but please download the event flyer\, detach the included RSVP form\, fill it out\, and mail to UCSB History Associates\, Department of History\, UCSB\, 93106-9410 so we can insure that we have enough refreshments on hand. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n. \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening/Talk: "American Umpire"
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Cobbs and James Shelley grant us a sneak preview of their forthcoming PBS documentary film\, “American Umpire\,” based on Prof. Cobbs’s acclaimed history book of the same name. The film recounts America’s post-World War II role as the world’s policemen and explores whether the United States can\, and should\, continue to play that role in the future. After screening the film\, which runs for 56 minutes\, Professor Cobbs and Mr. Shelley\, the film’s director\, will discuss the making of the documentary and engage the audience members in dialogue. \nElizabeth Cobbs is Professor and Melbern G. Glasscock Chair in American History at Texas A & M University. Her first book\, The Rich Neighbor Policy: Kaiser and Rockefeller in Brazil (Yale\, 1992)\, won the Allan Nevins Prize from the Organization of American Historians and the Stuart Bernath Prize from the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. Professor Cobbs has also authored All You Need is Love: The Peace Corps and the Spirit of the 1960s (Harvard\, 2000)\, along with works of historical fiction. Her most recent historical monograph\, American Umpire (Harvard\, 2013)\, is the inspiration for the featured documentary film. \nJames Shelley is the owner of Shell Studios\, a San Diego-based production company that specializes in award-winning documentaries and commercial films. Having retired from a 35-year career as a global risk management executive\, Shelley is now pursuing a lifelong interest in filmmaking. He is a graduate of Johns Hopkins University and of the University of California\, San Diego’s video production program. He is currently pursuing his Master of Fine Arts degree in Television\, Media\, and Film at San Diego State University. \nDownload the Event Flyer
