SUMMARY:HUMANITIES DECANTED: Robert Samuels\, Educating Inequality: Beyond the Political Myths of Higher Education and the Job Market
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue between Robert Samuels (Writing) and Heather Steffen (English and Writing) about Samuels’ new work\, Educating Inequality. Refreshments will be served. \nPoliticians and school officials often argue that higher education is the solution to many of our social and economic problems. Educating Inequality argues that in order to reduce inequality and enhance social mobility\, public policies are needed to revamp the financial aid system and increase the number of good jobs. Exploring topics such as the fairness of the current social system\, the focus on individual competition in an unequal society\, and democracy and capitalism in higher education\, this important book seeks to uncover the major myths that shape how people view higher education and its relation to the economy. Looking to models that generate economic mobility and social equality\, this book advocates a broader vision for public higher education to promote universal equality and global awareness. \nBob Samuels’ research interests include academic writing\, social science writing\, psychoanalysis\, rhetoric\, and media. He holds doctorates in Psychology and English\, and he is the author of numerous books\, including The Politics of Writing Studies: Reinventing Our Universities from Below and Why Public Higher Education Should Be Free. He blogs at Changing Universities. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment.

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Cold War Curvature: Measuring and Modeling Gravity in Postwar American Physics
DESCRIPTION:A popular image persists of Albert Einstein as a loner\, someone who avoided the hustle and bustle of everyday life in favor of quiet contemplation. Yet Einstein was deeply engaged with politics throughout his life; indeed\, he was so active politically that the FBI kept him under surveillance for decades. His most enduring scientific legacy\, the general theory of relativity – physicists’ reigning explanation of gravity and the basis for nearly all our thinking about the cosmos – has likewise been cast as an austere temple standing aloof from the all-too-human dramas of political history. But was it so? By focusing on examples of research on general relativity from the 1950s and 1960s\, this lecture will examine some of the ways in which research on Einstein’s theory was embedded in\, and at times engulfed by\, the tumult of world politics. \nDavid Kaiser is Germeshausen Professor of the History of Science and Professor of Physics at MIT. His books include Drawing Theories Apart: The Dispersion of Feynman Diagrams in Postwar Physics (2005)\, which received the Pfizer Prize from the History of Science Society for best book in the field; and How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science\, Counterculture\, and the Quantum Revival (2011)\, which was named “Book of the Year” by Physics World magazine. He is currently writing two books about gravity: a physics textbook with his colleague Alan Guth on gravitation and cosmology\, and a history of research on general relativity over the twentieth century. \nSponsored by the Dept. of History and the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics RFG.

SUMMARY:Crossings+Boundaries TALK: Opening the Gates of Heaven: Religious and Philosophical Implications of Space Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Religion and philosophy have always been present in human space exploration\, in the form of religious rituals practiced during space missions\, placement of sacred objects in space\, and astronauts’ descriptions of transcendental changes in perspective when looking back on Earth. Space exploration also poses ethical\, religious\, and philosophical challenges. How\, for example\, do we protect other celestial bodies from contamination by human space exploration? How do we protect the Earth from contamination by extraterrestrial samples brought back on spaceships? How will human society be represented to extraterrestrial beings? What are the wide-ranging implications of finding life in the universe? \nIn his talk\, Waltemathe will discuss these issues\, exploring questions that seem to belong to the realm of science fiction while focusing on scientifically plausible exploration scenarios. \nMichael Waltemathe is senior lecturer in the Department of Protestant Theology at Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany. He also serves as an officer of the Astrosociology Research Institute\, a non-profit educational organization dedicated to the development of astrosociology as a multidisciplinary academic field. Dr. Waltemathe is also a founding member of IASGAR\, the International Academy for the Study of Gaming and Religion. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Crossings + Boundaries series.\nImage credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/McGill

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: One and Indivisible? Slavery\, Federalism and Secessionism in the French-Haitian Revolution
DESCRIPTION:“The Republic is one and indivisible”: this principle was the founding dogma of the regime that emerged during the French Revolution. The Republic\, however\, still “owned” colonies and the plantation societies in the French West Indies could not be more at odds with the principle of universal equality. Was the regeneration effected by the Revolution compatible with the maintenance of a colonial empire? This paper will explore the heated colonial debates on French federalism\, secessionism\, and slavery in the age of Atlantic revolutions. \nProfessor Covo is a historian of the transition from early modern to modern European colonialism in the long eighteenth century. He specializes in French imperialism\, political economy and Atlantic revolutions\, with a special focus on the impact of the Haitian Revolution on France and the United States. \nSponsored by IHC’s Slavery\, Captivity\, and the Meaning of Freedom RFG.

SUMMARY:RESEARCH FOCUS GROUP TALK: BEYOND BOKO HARAM: WRITING THE HISTORY OF BORNO
DESCRIPTION:  \nHiribarren addresses the issue of presentism in historical writing in an African context. The region of Borno in Nigeria is well known for being the cradle of Boko Haram and many analysts have tried to understand the reasons behind the numerous terrorist attacks since 2009\, the kidnapping of the Chibok girls in 2014\, or the renewed jihad in West Africa. Writing the history of the northeastern corner of Nigeria remains difficult because of the security situation – of course – but also because of the pressure exerted by the current events on academic writing. Can we write the history of Borno beyond Boko Haram?’ \nVincent Hiribarren is a Senior Lecturer in Modern African History at King’s College London and Co-founder of Africa4\, a Libération blog. He received his MA from Sorbonne University and his PhD from University of Leeds. Dr. Hiribarren trained as a History and Geography teacher and taught in France\, China\, Guinea and England. From 2008 to 2012\, he undertook a PhD on the history of Borno\, Nigeria at the University of Leeds. His thesis was titled: “From a kingdom to a Nigerian state: the territory and boundaries of Borno 1810-2010”. From January to June 2013\, he was a Leverhulme teaching fellow at the University of Leeds and joined the History Department at King’s College London in September 2013.

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Buddhism and Sexuality: A Primer
DESCRIPTION:Although an ascetic religion that touts celibacy as the norm (at least for the clergy)\, Buddhism has a lot to say about sexuality. José Cabezón’s talk will focus on ancient South Asian sources and will present an overview of what classical Buddhist authors have had to say about sex. Based on his recently published book\, Sexuality in Classical South Asian Buddhism (Wisdom Publications\, 2017)\, the talk will explore the themes of sexuality in Buddhist cosmological writings\, the Buddhist theory of sexual desire\, the interventions that monks and nuns have used to counteract desire\, Buddhist ideas of sexual deviance\, and Buddhist sexual ethics. \nJosé Cabezón is Professor of Religious Studies and the XIVth Dalai Lama Professor of Tibetan Buddhism and Cultural Studies at UCSB. His wide-ranging research interests in various aspects of Tibetan religious traditions and religious studies include Madhyamaka philosophy\, gender and sexuality\, classical South Asian political ethics\, and Tibetan rituals.

SUMMARY:IHC Fellow TALK: Plastic China\, Plastic Chain: An Inconvenient Truth about Recycling
DESCRIPTION:Until the Chinese government’s new trade policy on waste importation this year\, the environmental and practical impact of the global waste trade has been largely absent from US scientific and theoretical studies on waste. These new policies\, however\, are predicted to have a catastrophic impact on the American scrap recycling industry and have therefore ignited a conversation. This talk uses the lens of the critically acclaimed yet domestically banned documentary Plastic China (2016) by Jiuliang Wang to investigate both industrial statistics and out-of-sight practices of plastic scrap recycling. It is only when the “foreign” part of the story is told that we can rethink “recycling\,” which is itself a controversial packaging concept of consumer culture. The global fluidity of waste engages and enriches theories about plasticity\, plastic-organism contact\, environmental justice\, political economy\, and documentary intervention\, as well as intimately connects to our everyday lives. \nInez Xingyue Zhou (Ph.D.\, Comparative Literature\, UCSB) is a Recent-PhD Fellow at the IHC who specializes in modern and contemporary poetics and waste aesthetics. \nSponsored by the IHC.
