SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Voices of Ancient Palmyra: Reflections
DESCRIPTION:“Voices of Ancient Palmyra” began as an online public humanities project that explored how different publics engaged with ancient history and the destruction of ancient objects. The original goal was to encourage people of all ages and education levels to artistically rewrite words from ancient Palmyrene inscriptions\, while learning about the history of the site. Artistic recreations were then uploaded to the website and social media. The project became a museum exhibition at the Fullerton Museum of Art at CSU San Bernardino\, for which local artists created pieces that engaged with and reacted to ancient inscriptions. The project had three different phases or iterations: the digital exhibition\, the physical art exhibition\, and the immersive experience. Each phase had unique complications that arose in the process of bringing various publics\, the museum\, and the academy into conversation. In “Reflections” Maris explores the project’s original goals\, how they changed\, what worked\, and the lessons for future efforts. \nCarly Maris earned her PhD in Ancient History from UC Riverside in 2019. Her primary research explores Roman-Persian relations\, and she is currently writing an article on a coin honoring Mark Antony that was minted in Syria. Dr. Maris also works as a Public Historian\, and was recognized as a Mellon Public Fellow in 2016. In the summer of 2019\, Dr. Maris co-curated an exhibition at the Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art on ancient writings in Palmyra\, for which she won the Society for Classical Studies ‘Classics Everywhere’ award. She currently teaches history courses at UC Riverside and CSU San Bernardino. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Ancient Borderlands Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Talk: Missing Babies and Tacit Tolerance of Infanticide in Early Modern Europe
DESCRIPTION:Aggressive criminal prosecution of unwed mothers who killed their newborns in early modern Europe (1550-1750) has led historians to assume that Europe was less tolerant of illegitimacy and infanticide than other pre-modern societies\, including China and Japan. New research throws this assumption into question. In early modern Geneva\, authorities often turned a blind eye to the untimely deaths and abandonment of unwanted bastards. These findings suggest that Europeans took a more practical approach to managing fertility than we had thought. \nSara Beam\, Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Victoria (Canada)\, is the author of numerous works on judicial violence\, including torture\, in early modern Europe\, with a special expertise on the city of Geneva. She is especially interested in the definition and prosecution of early modern “women’s” crimes\, including infanticide and adultery. She is completing a book manuscript on the decline of judicial torture in Europe from 1550-1750 and an edition and translation of a seventeenth-century infanticide trial. Her first book\, Laughing Matters: Farce and the Making of Absolutism in France (2007)\, won the Roland H. Bainton Prize for History. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Department of History\, Early Modern Center\, Department of French and Italian\, and the Hull Chair in Women’s Studies

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Amritlal Thakkar: A Gandhian "Intervention" in the "Tribal Question"
DESCRIPTION:Debates on the “tribal question” constituted an important part of intellectual politics during the late colonial period in South Asia\, especially during the decades leading to the Partition and Independence in 1947. Present-day “reservation” (affirmative action) policies for the “Scheduled Tribes” owe much to these debates. The “tribal question” was framed as a question that attempted to resolve how the British colonial government\, and later the post-colonial Indian government\, should engage groups of tribal communities that live in geospatially and socially marginalized conditions. This talk provides a critical analysis of the role of Amritlal Vithaldas Thakkar as an important interlocutor in these debates. Thakkar\, a Gandhian activist\, was hailed by many of his contemporaries as an exemplary champion of social service to the depressed castes and tribal communities. His intellectual battles with two other prominent figures—Bhimrao Ambedkar and Verrier Elwin—served to crystallize the problems of framing “indigeneity” in nationalist formulations. It also brought to light the inherent tensions involved in the politics of representing Adivasis\, or “aboriginal tribes\,” on the one hand\, and Dalits\, or “untouchables\,” on the other. Although these intellectual debates were based on essentialist definitions of religion\, culture\, and civilization\, they gave rise to methods of representation that greatly influenced the post-colonial state’s policies with regard to subaltern communities. \nMaharshi Vyas is a doctoral student specializing in South Asian religions and cultures in the Department of Religious Studies at UC Santa Barbara. His research focuses on subaltern communities in South Asia and explores more specifically the intersections among Adivasi tribal communities and institutionalized bhakti sampradayas\, or devotional schools. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Conference: Climate Fictions
DESCRIPTION:THIS CONFERENCE HAS BEEN POSTPONED AND WILL BE RESCHEDULED AT A LATER DATE. EMAIL CHRISTENE D’ANCA FOR MORE INFORMATION (christene_danca@ucsb.edu)\n  \nAs climate change has become a central topic of discussion\, laced with the uncertainty of tomorrow\, the UCSB Graduate Center for Literary Research has invited scholars from a variety of disciplines to reframe their conversations with a focus on this ubiquitous topic as it has been interpreted in literary fiction\, as well as within the arts. \nOriginally coined by Dan Bloom\, Climate-Fiction\, popularly known as Cli-Fi\, is a type of fiction that explores what the earth might become if climate change continues at its current rate\, and specifically if humans do not intervene to save the planet. \nAs many successful authors\, such as Margaret Atwood\, T. C. Boyle\, Amitav Ghosh\, Ursula Le Guin\, Lydia Millet\, David Mitchell\, and Leslie Marmon Silko\, have contributed to promulgating the topics of climate change and global warming into the public eye\, Cli-Fi has gained prominence as more than a fringe genre. \nJoin us on April 18-19\, 2020 from 10 a.m. each day in the McCune Conference room\, for a robust exploration of what constitutes Climate Fiction today. \nKeynote presenter\, John Shoptaw\, has been writing about and teaching ecopoetry and ecopoetics in the English Department at UC Berkeley. Currently\, he is exploring the ecopoetics and ecopoetry of climate change. His most recent publication is a climate fiction\, titled “Whoa!” that is a retelling of Ovid’s Metamorphoses (book 2)\, in Arion: A Journal of Humanities and the Classics. Among his other publications\, is Time’s Beach\, a collection of poems that evokes the cultural and environmental history of the Mississippi watershed\, and On the Outside Looking Out: John Ashbery’s Poetry\, a study of Ashbery’s poems through the form of a flow chart. \nSponsored by the Graduate Center for Literary Research

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Talk: “Hysteric Affirmation": Language\, Literature\, and the Economy in Contemporary German Fiction
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT WILL BE RESCHEDULED. SIGN UP FOR OUR EVENTS MAILING LIST FOR EVENT UPDATES.\n  \nLilla Balint is Assistant Professor of German in the Department of German at University of California\, Berkeley. She specializes in twentieth- and twenty-first-century German literature\, culture\, and intellectual history in its broader comparative contexts. At UC Berkeley\, she is affiliated with the Institute for European Studies and the Jewish Studies Program. \nCurrently\, she is at work on a book manuscript\, “Ruins of Utopia: History\, Memory\, and the Novel after 1989\,” that exposes the afterlife of socialism in contemporary literature. This comparative and multilingual study puts authors from Central Europe in dialogue to investigate how historical fiction after 1989 reconstructs the Cold War East. Located at the intersections of narrative poetics\, cultural history\, and memory studies\, the book analyzes how novelists from diverse linguistic and cultural contexts re-envision Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall. \nSponsored by the UC Humanities Network and co-presented by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center and the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies

SUMMARY:Symposium: Healing/Arts: Health Activism\, Creative Practice\, & the Medical Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Healing/Arts is a free\, virtual symposium that brings together creative practitioners from literary studies\, medical humanities\, disability justice\, and performance for a series of talks and workshops on the relationship between the arts and health activism. Featured facilitators Kelly Gluckman\, Leora Fridman\, Johanna Hedva\, and Patty Berne will examine the role the creative arts might play in critiquing the institutional configurations of American healthcare and the normative imperatives underlying idealized notions of health. And they will explore the arts’ capacity to help us reimagine and produce individual and collective well-being by inviting participants to experiment with modes of communal engagement including somatic exercises\, writing\, discussion\, performance\, and art making. Please visit https://healingartssymposium.wordpress.com/ for more information. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Humanities and Fine Arts Division Office of the Dean\, Graduate Center for Literary Research\, Department of English Literature and Mind Research Center\, and MultiCultural Center.

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Discussion: The New Human
DESCRIPTION:This meeting at the 2020 Cognitive Science Society 2020 conference will explore the ways in which cognitive science is reshaping of key assumptions about the human mind. Literary scholars working on mental phenomena at ‘Literature and Mind’ center at UCSB note that\, currently\, progress in fields such as data driven machine learning and computer vision is providing unprecedented opportunities for the prospect of human-level artificial intelligence. But\, as has been argued in computer science\, the computational theory of mind\, which claims that mental processes are computational processes\, is insufficient to fully account for biologically evolved intelligence. For machine intelligence to take us all the way to human-level intelligence\, we need explanations that span multiple levels of organization (neural\, somatic\, social) that take shape at multiple time-scales (evolution\, development\, life-long learning). The goal of this group is to provide a virtual space is for cognitive humanists and cognitive scientists to discuss our current research on the developing nature of human mind with each other. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Sustainability and the New Human Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Conference: Realisms in East Asian Performing Arts
DESCRIPTION:Realisms in East Asian Performing Arts proposes new considerations of realism on stage. Since its association with 19th-century innovations in European and American drama\, theatrical realism has largely remained limited to Euro-American definitions. We explore conventions of realism in culturally-specific locations and times across East Asia\, articulating alternative histories of realism that extend from the premodern into the present. Through our individual inquiries\, we aim to broaden the term’s analytic power and shed collective light on the diversity and versatility of this important representational mode. \nThe conference will end with a reading of the early twentieth-century play The Son\, by pioneer of modern Japanese theatre Osanai Kaoru. Translated into English by David Jortner\, performed by LAUNCH PAD of UCSB’s Department of Theater and Dance. \nConference Participants: Jyana Browne (University of Maryland)\, Xing Fan (University of Toronto)\, Man He (Williams College)\, David Jortner (Baylor University)\, Jieun Lee (Wake Forest University)\, Siyuan Liu (University of British Columbia)\, Jessica Nakamura (UCSB)\, Cody Poulton (University of Victoria)\, Katherine Saltzman-Li (UCSB)\, Catherine Swatek (University of British Columbia)\, Guojun Wang (Vanderbilt University)\, Miseong Woo (Yonsei University)\, Min-Hyung Yoo (Korea University)\, Soo Ryon Yoon (Lingnan University)\, Ji Hyon (Kayla) Yuh (Montclair State University)\, with Risa Brainin (UCSB) and William Davies King (UCSB) \nThe conference is open to the public\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Inaugural Lecture: Living Democracy in Capitalism’s Shadow: Creative Labor\, Black Abolitionists\, and the Struggle to End Slavery
DESCRIPTION:Free to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \n\nIn the two decades before the Civil War\, a new type of capitalism developed in the northern United States that stressed mass education\, widespread innovation\, and new markets for art and design. For Black abolitionists\, the changing northern economy presented new opportunities to highlight the evils of slavery. While continuing to attack slavery’s physical cruelty\, Black abolitionists in the 1840s and 1850s increasingly highlighted the “mental darkness” of slavery\, focusing on the systematic denial of literacy\, learning\, and creativity. Through their own creative labor\, Black abolitionists made a compelling case for racial equality. The fate of Black creative labor after the Civil War\, though\, demonstrated the limits of using creativity as a way of obtaining citizenship\, and raises important questions about how we in the 21st century “live democracy” in a society that valorizes creativity amidst growing inequality and systemic racism. Audience Q&A will follow. \nJohn Majewski is the Michael Douglas Dean of Humanities and Fine Arts and Professor in the Department of History. His areas of specialization include American economic\, social\, and legal history; Southern history; and the U.S. Civil War. He is the author of A House Dividing: Economic Development in Pennsylvania and Virginia Before the Civil War (Cambridge University Press\, 2000)\, Modernizing a Slave Economy: The Economic Imagination of the Confederate Nation (UNC Press\, 2009)\, and numerous articles\, reviews\, and book chapters. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Living Democracy series \nASL and Spanish interpretation will be provided. To view ASL interpretation\, please attend the webinar on a desktop computer. \n  \nCONFERENCIA INAUGURAL: VIVIR LA DEMOCRACIA A LA SOMBRA DEL CAPITALISMO: TRABAJO CREATIVO\, ABOLICIONISTAS NEGROS Y LA LUCHA PARA TERMINAR CON LA ESCLAVITUD \nEn las dos décadas anteriores a la Guerra Civil\, se desarrolló un nuevo tipo de capitalismo en el norte de los Estados Unidos que enfatizaba la educación masiva\, la innovación generalizada y nuevos mercados para el arte y el diseño. Para los abolicionistas negros\, la cambiante economía del norte presentó nuevas oportunidades para resaltar los males de la esclavitud. Mientras continuaban las torturas y castigos físicos a los esclavos\, los abolicionistas negros en las décadas de 1840 y 1850 destacaron cada vez más la “oscuridad mental” de la esclavitud\, enfocándose en la negación sistemática de la alfabetización\, el aprendizaje y la creatividad. A través de su trabajo creativo\, los abolicionistas defendieron de manera convincente la igualdad racial. Sin embargo\, el trabajo laborar y creativo hecho por los abolicionistas después de la Guerra Civil\, demostró los límites de la utilización de la creatividad como una forma de obtener la ciudadanía\, y plantea preguntas importantes sobre la forma en que en la sociedad que valora la creatividad en medio de crecimiento desigualdad y el racismo sistémico\, vive e interactúa con la democracia en el siglo 21. Seguirán las preguntas y respuestas de la audiencia. \nJohn Majewski es el Decano de Humanidades y Bellas Artes de Michael Douglas y profesor en el Departamento de Historia. Sus áreas de especialización incluyen la historia económica\, social y legal de Estados Unidos; Historia del Sur y la Guerra Civil de Estados Unidos. Es el autor de A House Dividing: Economic Development in Pennsylvania and Virginia Before the Civil War (Cambridge University Press\, 2000)\, Modernizing a Slave Economy: The Economic Imagination of the Confederate Nation (UNC Press\, 2009) y numerosos artículos\, reseñas y capítulos de libros. \nPatrocinado por la serie Living Democracy – Vivir la democracia de IHC \nHabrá interpretación en ASL y español. Para acceder a interpretación de señas favor de utilizar una computadora de escritorio. \nEvento gratuito. Favor de registrarse de antemano para recibir el enlace a la conferencia de Zoom.

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Transgenerational Remembrance: Performance and the Asia-Pacific War in Contemporary Japan
DESCRIPTION:Free to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \n\nJoin us online for a dialogue between Jessica Nakamura (Theater and Dance) and Catherine Nesci (French and Italian\, Comparative Literature) about Nakamura’s new book\, Transgenerational Remembrance: Performance and the Asia-Pacific War in Contemporary Japan. Audience Q&A will follow. \nIn Transgenerational Remembrance\, Jessica Nakamura investigates the role of artistic production in the commemoration and memorialization of the Asia-Pacific War (1931–1945) in Japan since 1989. During this time\, survivors of Japanese aggression and imperialism\, previously silent about their experiences\, have sparked contentious public debates about the form and content of war memories. Working from theoretical frameworks of haunting and ethics\, Nakamura develops an analytical lens based on the Noh theater ghost. Noh emphasizes the agency of the ghost and the dialogue between the dead and the living. Integrating her Noh-inflected analysis into ethical and transnational feminist queries\, Nakamura shows that performances move remembrance beyond current evidentiary and historiographical debates. \nJessica Nakamura’s research focuses on theater and performance in the Asia-Pacific. Her essays have appeared in the journals Modern Drama\, Performance Research\, and Trans Asia Photography Review and in the edited volumes Performance in a Militarized Culture and Performing the Secular. Nakamura has trained in Japanese Dance\, Chinese Beijing Opera\, and Balinese Dance. Her directing work includes productions of Federico Garcia Lorca’s Yerma and Gao Xingjian’s Wild Man; she most recently translated and directed Family Portrait by contemporary Japanese playwright Shu Matsui. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Symposium: India "Right": Making and Unmaking Indian Citizenship
DESCRIPTION:The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was passed by the Indian Parliament on December 11\, 2019. It amends the Citizenship Act of 1955 and creates an easier path for acquiring Indian citizenship for persecuted religious minorities—Hindu\, Sikh\, Jain\, Buddhist\, Christian\, and Parsi—from Pakistan\, Bangladesh\, and Afghanistan who entered India before or on December 13\, 2014. The Act does not encompass other (non-Islamic) neighboring countries\, nor does it consider other persecuted minorities—for example\, the Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar\, the Ahmadiya and Shia of Pakistan\, or the Tamils of Sri Lanka. While the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was able to pass the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) through Parliament without a hitch\, it was unprepared for the massive protests against the Act that soon followed in a number of places in India. The protests were spearheaded by students from across universities in India. The women of Shaheen Bagh\, a Muslim neighborhood in Delhi\, were also at the forefront of the protests. Protests were brought to a halt as riots erupted in Delhi that left 53 people dead and many more injured. Anti-Muslim rhetoric of the ruling BJP leaders preceded the riots as the party geared up for elections to the Delhi Assembly (which it lost) in early February 2020. However\, in the post-riot reckoning it was the protesters who were blamed by the police for the riots and various participants in the protests are facing prosecution\, while the BJP leaders who made inflammatory speeches have gone scot-free. \nAmong more recent events\, the COVID-19 pandemic and a draconian lockdown after mid-March saw many laboring people from metropoles like Delhi walk back to their homes hundreds of miles away\, and the Indian government was unable to do anything for a long time to ease their situation. The government has also used the lockdown—as have other high-handed regimes globally—to reimpose its authority. Other major moves of the government in the last 12 months include making inoperative Article 370 of the Indian constitution that gave special status to the northern state of Jammu and Kashmir\, and laying the foundation for the building of a massive Ram Temple where a Muslim mosque once stood before it was demolished by BJP activists in 1992. \nThe UCSB faculty participants in this symposium will discuss the varied ways in which this chain of events has unfolded in India and what these events mean with respect to Indian democracy and its institutions\, the rhetoric of nationalism\, the onslaught on the idea of secularism\, and the economy and the livelihoods of the Indian people. Anshu Malhotra\, Professor of Global Studies and Kundun Kaur Kapany Chair of Sikh and Punjabi Studies\, will discuss Shaheen Bagh and Muslim women in India. Utathya Chattopadhyaya\, Assistant Professor of History\, will reflect on the reconfiguration of nationalism in India. Aashish Mehta\, Associate Professor of Global Studies\, will discuss populism\, policy\, and the real economy in India before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Satyajit Singh\, Professor of Global Studies and Political Science\, will reflect on the student protests in perspective. Amit Ahuja\, Associate Professor of Political Science\, will discuss electoral politics and what the recent protests mean for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). \nCosponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group and the Department of Global Studies

SUMMARY:The 2020 Diana and Simon Raab Writer-in-Residence: Jesmyn Ward
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for a conversation between Jesmyn Ward\, 2020 Diana and Simon Raab Writer-in-Residence\, and IHC Director Susan Derwin. Audience Q&A will follow. \n\nMacArthur Genius and two-time National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward has been called “the new Toni Morrison” (American Booksellers Association). In 2017\, she became the first woman and first person of color to win the National Book Award twice—joining the ranks of William Faulkner\, Saul Bellow\, John Cheever\, Philip Roth\, and John Updike. Her writing\, which encompasses fiction\, nonfiction\, and memoir\, is “raw\, beautiful\, and dangerous” (The New York Times Book Review).

Ward’s memoir\, Men We Reaped\, deals with the loss of five young men in her life—to drugs\, accidents\, suicide\, and the bad luck that follows people who live in poverty. In 2016\, Ward edited the critically acclaimed anthology The Fire This Time: A New Generation Speaks About Race\, a New York Times bestseller. Her newest novel\, the critically acclaimed Sing\, Unburied\, Sing\, won the 2017 National Book Award. Sing has been called “a searing\, urgent read for anyone who thinks the shadows of slavery and Jim Crow have passed” (Celeste Ng). Sing was named one of the best books of 2017 by The New York Times\, Time\, The Washington Post\, and Publisher’s Weekly. Sing was also nominated for the PEN/Faulkner Award\, the National Book Critics Circle Award\, and the Aspen Words Literary Prize.

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Discussion: Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nIn honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month and the thirtieth anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act\, the Disability Studies Initiative is joining the Carsey-Wolf Center and the UCSB Library to host a virtual discussion with the directors of Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution (2020). \nIn the early 1970s\, teenagers with disabilities faced a future shaped by isolation\, discrimination\, and institutionalization. Located in the Catskills\, New York\, ramshackle Camp Jened exploded those confines. Jened was the teens’ freewheeling utopia\, a place where summertime sports\, smoking\, and make-out sessions awaited everyone; campers experienced liberation and full inclusion as human beings. Their bonds endured as many migrated west to Berkeley\, California\, a hotbed of activism where friends from Camp Jened realized that disruption\, civil disobedience\, and political participation could change the future for millions. \nCo-directors and producers Jim LeBrecht and Nicole Newnham will join Hannah Garibaldi (Film and Media Studies\, UCSB) for a virtual discussion of this fascinating documentary. ASL interpretation will be provided during the event. The film may be viewed in advance on Netflix. \nREGISTER NOW \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Disability Studies Initiative Research Focus Group\, the Carsey-Wolf Center\, the UCSB Library\, the Disabled Students Program\, Graduate Division\, and the Resource Center for Gender and Sexual Diversity (RCGSD)

SUMMARY:Living Democracy Talk: Struggling to Save America’s Cities in the Suburban Age: Urban Renewal Revisited
DESCRIPTION:Free to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \n\nUrban Renewal of the 1950s through 1970s has acquired a very poor reputation\, much of it deserved. But reducing it to an unchanging story of urban destruction misses some important legacies and genuinely progressive goals. Those include efforts to create more socially mixed communities\, to involve suburbs—not just cities—in solving metropolitan inequality\, and most importantly\, to hold the federal government responsible for funding more affordable housing and other urban investments\, rather than turn to the private sector. Cohen will revisit this history by following the long career of Edward J. Logue\, who worked to revitalize New Haven in the 1950s\, became the architect of the “New Boston” in the 1960s\, and later led innovative organizations in New York at the state level and in the South Bronx. She will analyze the evolution in Logue’s thinking and actions\, when and how he met resistance and accommodation by communities\, and what he and many others who cared about cities learned in facing the challenges of urban revitalization during the suburban boom of the second half of the 20th century. Amid substantial challenges today in the realms of racial injustice\, public health\, economic viability\, and urban resilience\, it is more important than ever that we reexamine the history of efforts—successful and failed—to keep American cities vital. Audience Q&A will follow. \nLizabeth Cohen is the Howard Mumford Jones Professor of American Studies and a Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of History at Harvard. Her most recent book is Saving America’s Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America in the Suburban Age (October 2019)\, winner of the Bancroft Prize. It examines the benefits and costs of the shifting strategies for rebuilding American cities after World War II by following the career of urban redeveloper Edward J. Logue\, who oversaw major renewal projects in New Haven\, Boston\, and New York State from the 1950s through the 1980s. Cohen has been a fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. She is also a former president of the Urban History Association. \nTo learn more about or purchase a copy of Saving America’s Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America in the Suburban Age\, please visit Chaucer’s Books online. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Living Democracy series; the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment; the UCSB Blum Center on Poverty\, Inequality\, and Democracy; and the UCSB Department of History \nImage courtesy of Boston City Archives \nASL and Spanish interpretation will be provided. To view ASL interpretation\, please attend the webinar on a desktop computer. \n  \nVIVIR LA DEMOCRACIA: LUCHA PARA SALVAR LAS CIUDADES DE AMÉRICA EN LA ERA SUBURBANA: REVISIÓN DE LA RENOVACIÓN URBANA  \nLa Renovación Urbana de las décadas de 1950 a 1970 ha adquirido una muy mala reputación\, en gran parte merecida. Sin embargo\, reducirlo a una historia inmutable de destrucción urbana pierde algunos legados importantes y metas genuinamente progresistas. Estos incluyen esfuerzos para crear comunidades más socialmente mixtas\, para involucrar a los suburbios\, no solo a las ciudades\, en la solución de la desigualdad metropolitana y\, lo que es más importante\, para responsabilizar al gobierno federal de financiar viviendas más asequibles y otras inversiones urbanas\, en lugar de recurrir al sector privado. Cohen revisará esta historia siguiendo la larga carrera de Edward J. Logue\, quien trabajó para revitalizar New Haven en la década de 1950\, se convirtió en el arquitecto de “New Boston” o “el Nuevo Boston” en la década de 1960 y luego dirigió organizaciones innovadoras en el estado de Nueva York y en el sur del Bronx. La profesora analizará la evolución en el pensamiento y las acciones de Logue\, cuándo y cómo encontró resistencia y adaptación por parte de las comunidades\, y lo que él y muchos otros que se preocuparon por las ciudades aprendieron al enfrentar los desafíos de la revitalización urbana durante el auge suburbano de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. En medio de desafíos sustanciales de hoy en día en los ámbitos de la injusticia racial\, la salud pública\, la viabilidad económica y la resiliencia urbana\, es de suma importancia que reexaminemos la historia de los esfuerzos\, exitosos y fallidos\, para mantener las ciudades estadounidenses con vida y relevantes. Seguirán las preguntas y respuestas de la audiencia. \nLizabeth Cohen es profesora de Estudios Estadounidenses Howard Mumford Jones y profesora de servicios distinguidos de la Universidad de Harvard en el Departamento de Historia de Harvard. Su libro más reciente es Saving America’s Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America in the Suburban Age (octubre de 2019). Examina los beneficios y costos de las estrategias cambiantes para la reconstrucción de ciudades estadounidenses después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial siguiendo la carrera del reurbanizador urbano Edward J. Logue\, quien supervisó importantes proyectos de renovación en New Haven\, Boston y el estado de Nueva York desde la década de 1950 hasta la década de 1950. Década de 1980. Cohen ha sido miembro de la Fundación Guggenheim\, el National Endowment for the Humanities\, el American Council of Learned Societies y el Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. También es ex presidenta de la Asociación de Historia Urbana. \nPatrocinado por la serie Living Democracy de IHC ; el UCSB Blum Center on Poverty\, Inequality\, and Democracy; el Departamento de Historia de UCSB; y la Dotación Conmemorativa Harry Girvetz de IHC \nImagen cortesía de Boston City Archives \nHabrá interpretación en ASL y español. Para acceder a interpretación de señas favor de utilizar una computadora de escritorio. \nEvento gratuito. Favor de registrarse de antemano para recibir el enlace a la conferencia de Zoom.
