SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Elana Resnick
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue between Elana Resnick (Anthropology) and Charles Hale (Dean of Social Sciences) about Resnick’s new book\, Refusing Sustainability: Race and Environmentalism in a Changing Europe. Sustainability has become a touchstone for development worldwide\, promising an antidote to environmental degradation and capitalism’s excess: waste. Refusing Sustainability presents a fundamentally different account of sustainability and waste itself by uncovering the intersections of international environmental reforms and racialized labor. In Bulgaria\, Roma comprise the bulk of the country’s waste workers\, while anti-Roma racism casts them as socially disposable. Without their labor\, however\, the country cannot meet the sustainability targets required by the European Union. Drawing on fieldwork that spans twenty years\, including eleven months working alongside Romani women street sweepers and years embedded in waste organizations\, political campaigns\, Roma NGOs\, and activist groups\, Resnick examines the power hierarchies that shape both waste management and European geopolitics. \nElana Resnick is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, where she directs the Infrastructural Inequalities Research Group. Her research examines waste\, racialization\, labor\, nuclear energy\, and friendship through multi-modal methods. She has published in journals including American Anthropologist\, American Ethnologist\, Cultural Anthropology\, and Public Culture. She is the recipient of the 2025 Carolina de Miguel Moyer Young Scholar Award from the Council for European Studies. \nRefreshments will be served. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Suzanne Jill Levine
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue between Suzanne Jill Levine (Spanish and Portuguese) and Leo Cabranes-Grant (Spanish and Portuguese) about Levine’s new book\, Unfaithful: A Translator’s Memoir. In Unfaithful\, Levine interweaves her personal history and translation history in an important period. Levine analyzes how her openness to another culture and new experiences\, along with a knack for translating the most difficult Latin American novels and positive interactions with her authors\, took her from a modest New York background into a whole new literary and linguistic world. Unfaithful was recently listed by Words Without Borders as a 2025 best book in the field of translation. \nSuzanne Jill Levine is Distinguished Research Professor Emerita of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of California\, Santa Barbara and recipient of the 2024 PEN/Ralph Manheim Award for Translation\, which recognizes the translator’s lifetime achievements. An eminent translator whose prolific literary career began in the early 1970s\, she has won many honors and translated over forty volumes of Latin American fiction. Editor and co-translator of the five-volume series of Jorge Luis Borges’ poetry and non-fictions for Penguin paperback classics (2010)\, her most recent translation\, Guadalupe Nettel’s Bezoar and Other Unsettling Stories\, was shortlisted for the 2021 Oxford-Weidenfeld Prize. She is also author of The Subversive Scribe: Translating Latin American Fiction (1991; 2006) and the biography Manuel Puig & the Spiderwoman: His Life and Fictions (2000). \nRefreshments will be served. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Mario T. García
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue between Mario T. García (Chicana and Chicano Studies) and Melinda Gandara (Santa Barbara City College) about García’s new book\, Rupert García: The Making of an American Artist\, a Testimonio. Rupert García is a compelling story of a working-class Mexican American from California’s Central Valley who became a major American artist with national and international recognition. Mario T. García’s oral history of Rupert García\, based on extensive interviews over many years\, provides a captivating autobiographical narrative of the life and times of an American artist. This testimonio places Rupert García’s art in historical perspective\, spanning his beginnings in Stockton\, California and his time in the Air Force\, including participating in the U.S. war in Vietnam\, to his experience at San Francisco State during the historic San Francisco State student strike in 1968–69. Influenced by history and politics\, Rupert García’s art speaks to a changing America through the eyes of an artist\, speaking to issues of race\, class\, imperialism\, war\, and the role of the artist in society. \nMario T. García is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Chicana and Chicano studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. He has published over 20 books over the course of his career\, including Blowout!: Sal Castro and the Chicano Struggle for Educational Justice and The Latino Generation: Voices of the New America. \nRefreshments will be served. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment
