SUMMARY:Victor Seow\, "The Human Factor: Work as Science in Twentieth-Century China"
DESCRIPTION:In 1935\, the Commercial Press in Shanghai published a modest-sized volume on a subject most of its readers likely never heard of. Titled An Overview of Industrial Psychology (工業心理學概觀)\, this text was written by a young psychologist who was trained in and recently returned from Britain. It was the first in Chinese on the titular subject\, which promised to (amid other things) “restore the rightful place of human beings in processes of production.” What was industrial psychology\, and why did those who promoted or practiced it across multiple political and productive regimes choose to do so? In this talk\, Victor Seow will trace the history of industrial psychology in China from the 1930s to the 1990s\, focusing on how this science of work reflected shifts in the meaning and value of labor over those decades. \nVictor Seow is John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University. He is a historian of technology\, science\, and industry\, specializing in China and Japan in their global contexts and in histories of energy and work. \nEvent cosponsored by the Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture Fund\, the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics Research Focus Group\, and the Department of History’s History of Science field.

SUMMARY:IHC RFG Talk | Lee Vinsel | US Policymaking and the Promises of Technology in the 1990S’ “New Economy”
DESCRIPTION:On April 5th\, 2000\, President William Clinton stepped to the microphone at the White House Conference on the New Economy and told those gathered that the United States was experiencing “an economic transformation as profound as that that led us into the industrial revolution.” The 1990s was a heady moment for chatter about technological change\, especially around personal computers and the Internet. Microsoft CEO Bill Gates predicted Business @ the Speed of Thought\, as one of his book titles put it\, and Wired writer Kevin Kelly argued that the Internet would lead to the dematerialization of the economy. This “irrational exuberance” would eventually end in the dot com bust\, but not before members of the Clinton administration used projections around “the New Economy” to justify a number of decisions that would have far-reaching ramifications\, including policies around telecommunications\, labor and trade\, education and training\, student loans\, and economic\, racial\, and gender inequality. \nIn this talk\, Lee Vinsel will build on recent work on the history of the Clinton White House and political economy\, including Margaret O’Mara’s The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America and Nelson Lichtenstein and Judith Stein’s forthcoming\, A Fabulous Failure: The Clinton Presidency and the Transformation of American Capitalism. Vinsel will ask what can be gained for this literature by focusing on technology\, both the actual material change taking place in the 1990s and\, perhaps most importantly\, the ideas and fantasies surrounding the concept “technology\,” which greatly outpaced reality. \nLee Vinsel is Associate Professor of Science\, Technology and Society at Virginia Tech. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:IHC Regeneration Talk by Scott Ellsworth: The Tulsa Race Massacre: Causes\, Cover Up\, and the Fight for the Past
DESCRIPTION:The 1921 Tulsa race massacre was the worst single incident of racial violence in American history. But for decades its very existence was denied. Official records went missing\, incriminating articles were torn out of bound volumes of old newspapers\, and researchers even had their lives threatened. Award-winning author and historian Scott Ellsworth\, author of The Ground Breaking: An American City and Its Search for Justice\, unpacks the story of the massacre and the challenges it presents for racial justice today.  \nClick here for the flyer \nVisit the event page for more information: bit.ly/Ellsworth-IHC

SUMMARY:History Faculty John W. I. Lee on IHC's Humanities Decanted: on his new book The First Black Archaeologist: A Life of John Wesley Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:The Interdisciplinary Humanities Center is hosting a dialogue between John W. I. Lee (History) and Krzysztof Janowicz (Geography) about Lee’s new book\, The First Black Archaeologist: A Life of John Wesley Gilbert. Audience Q&A will follow. \nThe First Black Archaeologist reveals the untold story of a pioneering African American classical scholar\, teacher\, community leader\, and missionary. Born into slavery in rural Georgia\, John Wesley Gilbert (1863-1923) gained national prominence in the early 1900s\, but his accomplishments are little known today. Using evidence from archives across the U.S. and Europe\, from contemporary publications\, and from newly discovered documents\, this book chronicles\, for the first time\, Gilbert’s remarkable journey. As we follow Gilbert from the segregated public schools of Augusta\, Georgia\, to the lecture halls of Brown University\, to his hiring as the first black faculty member of Augusta’s Paine Institute\, and through his travels in Greece\, western Europe\, and the Belgian Congo\, we learn about the development of African American intellectual and religious culture\, and about the enormous achievements of an entire generation of black students and educators. \n  \nWhen: February 10th\, 2022 @ 4:00 – :5:30 PM \nWhere: McCune Conference Room\, 6020 HSSB

SUMMARY:Susan Lederer\, "'Send My Body to the Medical College': Alternative Afterlives in Turn of the  Century America"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Susan Lederer\, Professor of the History of Medicine\, University of Wisconsin Madison will be giving a talk on Thursday\, January 9 at 5:30 pm entitled “‘Send My Body to the Medical College’: Alternative Afterlives in Turn of the Century America.” \nIn 1876 American and English newspapers reported the extraordinary will made by an American woman living in London. Inspired by Bentham’s 1832 bequest of his body\, Susan Fletcher Smith approached the Royal College of Surgeons with the proposal that\, upon her death\, her body be “completely dissected in the most thorough manner known to science.” Moreover\, she stipulated that preference be given to persons of the female sex who wished to inspect the body in the various stages of dissection. The President of the College agreed to accept her proposal. Smith’s donation was one of some 450 reported in the press in the years between 1870 and 1940. This talk explores how donating one’s remains to a medical institution was transformed in this period from a bizarre and macabre eccentricity into an exemplar of enlightened corporeal philanthropy. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Building a Green New Deal: Community\, Coalition\, Organizing for Environmental Justice: A Public Forum
DESCRIPTION:In communities\, classrooms\, and protest sites across the country\, people have embraced the call for a Green New Deal as a way of recognizing that climate change presents us with an unprecedented historic challenge—and the need for comprehensive and transformational reform. California’s Central Coast has a powerful tradition of grassroots activism to draw on in rising to the challenge\, from the wide-ranging environmental movement sparked by the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill to the multi-racial labor\, immigrant and indigenous people’s rights organizations leading the struggle for economic justice region-wide. Together\, these and allied organizations have formed the Central Coast Climate Justice Network\, a regional coalition dedicated to developing a collective vision and coalitional strategy for achieving holistic and intersectional environmental justice in our region. Featuring presentations from Network member organizations\, the aim of the forum is to launch a broad\, publicly engaged conversation about the need for transformational thought and action in response to the challenges of climate change\, and in the interest of a more equitable and resilient environmental future. \nCo-sponsored by: The Blum Center on Poverty\, Inequality\, and Democracy\, Environmental Studies Program\, Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, the Fund for Santa Barbara\, and the Central Coast Climate Justice Network

SUMMARY:Rosemarie Zagarri on "The Murky Past and Contested Future of the Electoral College"
DESCRIPTION:On October 24 at 4:00pm in HSSB 4080\, Professor Rosemarie Zagarri of George Mason University will present a talk titled “The Murky Past and Contested Future of the Electoral College.” The event is free and open to the public. \nThis talk will examine the roots of the American system for electing its president and explore the possibility–as well as the feasibility–of changing the existing system. The origins of the Electoral College lay in a series of tumultuous conflicts at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. At stake was not only what the presidency should entail but how the new chief executive should be elected. Memories of George III’s abuses of power haunted delegates. Fears of mob rule competed with anxieties over lodging too much power in the hands of a single individual. Representatives jealously guarded their own states’ prerogatives. The solution–the Electoral College–was a jerry-built compromise that satisfied no one completely. \nAlmost as soon as it went into operation\, the flaws and defects of the Electoral College became evident. The emergence of a two-party political system intensified its structural weaknesses. Yet the system has endured. The question facing Americans today is: What can be done to remedy the inadequacies of the Electoral College? \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.
