SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Roundtable: Disability Justice Conversation
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nJoin Gary White\, UCSB’s Disabled Students Program\, Eric Kruger\, UCSB’s Disabled Students Program\, Afiya Browne\, UCSB’s Multicultural Center\, Sam del Castillo\, Graduate Division and graduate student\, and Shanna Killeen\, Disability Studies Initiative RFG\, for a conversation about accessibility and intersectional justice. This conversation will discuss information\, tools\, and resources for creating intentional and accessible spaces and community engagement. This conversation also aims to help us think through what this moment of remote work means for our communities. How do graduate students navigate access in an already inaccessible world? Our hope is to have an impactful conversation about resources and accessibility as a foundation and not an add on\, and to help us imagine how creating accessible spaces benefits us all. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Disability Studies Initiative Research Focus Group\, Muticultural Center\, Graduate Center for Literary Research\, Graduate Division\, and the Resource Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Kings and Cripples in the Arthurian World
DESCRIPTION:Zoom meeting link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/87492220092?pwd=RExPbnl0N3d0ZVR2ZGpEdkJ1cHdPQT09 \nWhile the lived reality of disability in the Middle Ages was surely a wretched one\, at the same time we encounter persistent associations between disabled and royal or aristocratic bodies in medieval culture\, its imagery and narratives. Nowhere is this truer than in the Arthurian world\, at whose core there lies a powerful but immobile figure\, the Rich Fisher King. This talk looks at such linkage through Arthurian texts and illustrated manuscripts\, especially the vast Lancelot Prose Cycle. \nChristopher Baswell is the Acting Chair of the Department of English and the Ann Whitney Olin Professor of English at Barnard College. He is also Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Disability Studies Initiative Research Focus Group and the UCSB English Department Early Modern Center \nZoom meeting link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/87492220092?pwd=RExPbnl0N3d0ZVR2ZGpEdkJ1cHdPQT09

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Cannabis and South Asia
DESCRIPTION:Zoom meeting link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/81976204749?pwd=ekZ2UUtFd0U0Znh6bFpIcXFXWUs5QT09 \nHistorical scholarship now conceives empire as a webbed uneven field of power relations and a multispecies enterprise. In other words\, the anxious and breathless struggle of European imperialism to sustain itself subjected human\, plant\, animal\, and insect bodies to its ambition to govern through logics of colonial difference. This paper argues that the cannabis plant in South Asia\, in the nineteenth century\, while being a subject of British revenue systems transformed into a race-d and gendered mode of explaining anticolonial insurgency by South Asian rebels. The intoxicating substance of the plant\, in the discursive logic of empire\, was seen to vitiate Asian bodies against European power. Cannabis also animated other imperial operations like the delegitimization of Indian sovereignty. Using the expansive reach of imperial periodical culture in the nineteenth century\, this paper highlights the Asian and global contexts within which cannabis became an alibi for rebellion or violence against empire. \nUtathya Chattopadhyaya is Assistant Professor of History at the UC Santa Barbara. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois and studies the history of modern South Asia\, British imperialism\, and agrarian commodities. His work has appeared in the South African Historical Journal\, Historical Reflections\, and Animalia: An Anti-Imperial Bestiary for our Times. He is currently writing a monograph on cannabis and empire in British India. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Asian/American Studies Collective Research Focus Group and the Department of Asian American Studies \nZoom meeting link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/81976204749?pwd=ekZ2UUtFd0U0Znh6bFpIcXFXWUs5QT09

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: The Blood Files: Epidemic\, Medium\, Milieu
DESCRIPTION:ATTEND DISCUSSION \nEpidemics make us keenly aware of our multispecies distributions: of changes to our microbial makeup\, of the mediums (body fluids to the elements) that enable transmission. While our body makes us aware of fevers and aches\, we need technical mediation beyond the everyday thermometer to track and understand changing microbial-human relations. Epidemic media—a range of technologies\, microscopes to PCR machines—are the subject of Bishnupriya Ghosh’s book\, The Virus Touch: Theorizing Epidemic Media. Drawing on two research sites thousands of miles apart yet embedded in the global biomedical complex—a retrovirus laboratory at the University of Washington\, Seattle\, and a modest clinical point of care at the Humsafar offices in Mumbai—Ghosh considers how the ordinary technology of the “blood file” (samples\, data\, and pictures) makes the medium intelligible as a milieu. \nBishnupriya Ghosh is Professor of Global Studies and English at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. Her first two books\, When Borne Across: Literary Cosmopolitics in the Contemporary Indian Novel (Rutgers University Press\, 2004) and Global Icons: Apertures to the Popular (Duke University Press\, 2011)\, addressed cultures of globalization. Her recent work includes the co-edited Routledge Companion to Media and Risk (Routledge\, 2020) and a new monograph on viral emergence\, The Virus Touch: Theorizing Epidemic Media. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group \nATTEND DISCUSSION
