SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Discussion: Dysgenic Stories: Field Worker Reports\, Contradiction\, and Confinement at Sonoma State Home\, 1920-1921
DESCRIPTION:Our discussion will focus on Isidro González’s paper and another piece of scholarship. González’s research focuses on Sonoma State Home for the Feebleminded in Eldridge\, California\, and how eugenics field workers—those involved in observing and notating nonnormative (“dysgenic”) phenotypic\, familial\, and lifestyle attributes of institutionalized people—crafted individualized clinical narratives of “inmates” to not only legitimize their profession\, the state employer\, and the Eugenics Record Office (ERO)\, but also to surveil\, pathologize\, and medicalize “unfit” human beings. In so doing\, they worked to demarcate the line between idealized white\, able-bodied\, middle- and upper-class citizens and poor\, racialized\, disabled\, and dispensable individuals in the United States. The result was the loss of personal freedom\, the inability to engender children\, and the state and medical establishment’s attempt to halt the propagation of those with lower IQ scores\, poor folks\, non-Protestants\, and those who strayed in body and mind from an exalted whiteness. What this study contributes to the histories of institutionalization\, disability\, race\, gender\, and eugenics is that it highlights the on-the-ground data collection practices of a single field worker at Sonoma State Home to see how the logics of racism\, classism\, ableism\, and sexism functioned to explain the supposed dysgenic traits of institutionalized people and their social networks. Central questions framing this research are: which qualities\, attributes\, and markers did field workers seek in “inmates” and families in order to qualify them as inferior humans\, and how did field workers quantify these markers? Also\, what was the human standard\, in body and mind\, and could “inmates” be fixed or engineered to fit the standard (or fit a standard)? \nIsidro González is a doctoral student in the Department of History\, working at the intersection of race\, disability\, mental illness\, and science in U.S. history. \nPlease register for the Zoom attendance link here and contact disabilitystudies@english.ucsb.edu if you have any questions. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Disability Studies Initiative Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Workshop: Shakespeare and Global Media Works in Progress Event #2
DESCRIPTION:In our second Works-in-Progress workshop\, we will discuss various strategies and resources for conducting archival work\, receiving funding\, and getting involved in larger scholarly activities (such as conferences\, journals\, and symposia) related to Shakespeare and Global Media. We will build on our previous work of cultivating a multimedia bibliography\, as well as developing questions and frameworks that interrogate established modes of scholarly production. We will consider questions like: What does it mean to do “global Shakespeare”? What methods and approaches push the boundaries of scholarship? Where and how do we engage with productions that are considered under the umbrella of “global Shakespeare”? What resources are available to us\, and what is missing? \nThrough this workshop series\, we hope to generate new research and expand upon work already in progress. We invite scholars from all disciplines who are interested in broadening their own research skillset to join our workshop. \nResources and bibliographies from these events will be available after the completion of this event. \nRegister to Attend \nZoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/82581382288?pwd=cW43SWZNVk5pdHk5V08vODFUWVErdz09 \nSponsored by the IHC’s What Is a Shakespeare?: Shakespeare and Global Media Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Passing for Perfect Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:In her new book\, Passing for Perfect\, erin Khuê Ninh considers the factors that drove college imposters such as Azia Kim—who pretended to be a Stanford freshman—and Jennifer Pan—who hired a hitman to kill her parents before they found out she had never received her high school diploma—to extreme lengths to appear successful. Why would someone make such an illogical choice? And how do they stage these lies so convincingly\, and for so long? \nThese outlier examples prompt Ninh to address the larger issue of the pressures and difficulties of striving to be a “model minority\,” where failure is too ruinous to admit. Passing for Perfect insists that being a model minority is not a myth but is coded into one’s programming as an identity—a set of convictions and aspirations\, regardless of present socioeconomic status or future attainability—and that the true cost of turning children into high-achieving professionals may be higher than anyone can bear. \nerin Khuê Ninh is an Associate Professor of Asian American Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. She is the author of Ingratitude: The Debt-Bound Daughter in Asian American Literature\, which won the 2013 Literary Studies Book Award from the Association for Asian American Studies. \nZoom attendance link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84816328894 \nImage: Temple University Press \nSponsored by the IHC’s Asian/American Studies Collective Research Focus Group and the Asian Pacific Islander Graduate Student Alliance (APIGSA)
