SUMMARY:The Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture Series: The Human Factor: Work as Science in Twentieth-Century China
DESCRIPTION:In 1935\, the Commercial Press in Shanghai published a modest-sized volume on a subject most of its readers likely never heard of. Titled An Overview of Industrial Psychology (工業心理學概觀)\, this text was written by a young psychologist who was trained in and recently returned from Britain. It was the first in Chinese on the titular subject\, which promised to (amid other things) “restore the rightful place of human beings in processes of production.” What was industrial psychology\, and why did those who promoted or practiced it across multiple political and productive regimes choose to do so? In this talk\, Victor Seow will trace the history of industrial psychology in China from the 1930s to the 1990s\, focusing on how this science of work reflected shifts in the meaning and value of labor over those decades. \nVictor Seow is John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University. He is a historian of technology\, science\, and industry\, specializing in China and Japan in their global contexts and in histories of energy and work. \nCosponsored by the Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture Fund\, the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics Research Focus Group\, and the Department of History’s History of Science field

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: The Child Labor Issue as Depicted in the TV Cartoon Meena Ki Kahani
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Jawa Jha focuses on child labor\, particularly the issues faced by the girl child as depicted in the TV cartoon series Meena Ki Kahani (Stories of Meena)\, broadcast in India. This presentation is divided broadly into three main sections. The first section provides a brief overview of India’s children literature\, tracing its transition from oral storytelling traditions to visual media like cartoon-based TV shows. The second section examines child labor issues depicted in Meena Ki Kahani. This TV cartoon series\, produced with the support of UNICEF\, aims to raise awareness about various social inequalities prevalent in South Asian countries. Re-telecast in India on the Doordarshan channel for e-learning during the pandemic lockdown\, Meena Ki Kahani aims at reducing child labor along with other social issues. The last section of the presentation attempts to comprehend the problems of child labor faced by a girl child in India’s socio-cultural context. This presentation seeks to amplify awareness in order to stop the vicious cycle of child labor in India. \nDr. Jawa Jha is the first Indian to complete a Ph.D. in Korean Literature from Seoul National University\, South Korea. She has taught as Guest faculty at Jawaharlal Nehru University and Bangalore City University\, India. She co-authored a book on Elementary Hindi for Korean learners\, published in 2020 by Busan University of Foreign Studies. She was awarded various research grants and scholarships\, including the Academy of Korean Studies Research Fellowship\, Silk-Road Scholarship\, and Korea Foundation’s Korean language learning scholarship. Recently\, she was invited as a speaker at the 2024 World Bang Jung Hwan Conference on Children’s Literature held in Suwon\, Korea. \nZoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Media Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Daina Sanchez
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dialogue with Daina Sanchez (Chicana and Chicano Studies) and Omar Pimienta (Spanish and Portuguese) about Sanchez’s new book\, The Children of Solaga: Indigenous Belonging across the U.S.-Mexico Border. In The Children of Solaga\, Sanchez examines how Indigenous Oaxacan youth form racial\, ethnic\, community\, and national identities away from their ancestral homeland. Assumptions that Indigenous peoples have disappeared altogether\, or that Indigenous identities are fixed\, persist in the popular imagination. This is far from the truth. Sanchez demonstrates how Indigenous immigrants continually remake their identities and ties to their homelands while navigating racial and social institutions in the U.S. and Latin America\, and\, in doing so\, transform notions of Indigeneity and push the boundaries of Latinidad. Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork between Los Angeles\, California and San Andrés Solaga\, a Zapotec town in the Mexican state of Oaxaca\, The Children of Solaga centers Indigenous ways of knowing and being in the world and adds a much-needed transnational dimension to the study of Indigenous immigrant adaptation and assimilation. Sanchez\, herself a diasporic Solagueña\, argues that the lived experiences of Indigenous immigrants offer a unique vantage point from which to see how migration across settler-borders transforms processes of self-making among displaced Indigenous people. Rather than accept attempts by both Mexico and the U.S. to erase their Indigenous identities or give in to anti-Indigenous and anti-immigrant prejudice\, Oaxacan immigrants and their children defiantly celebrate their Indigenous identities through practices of el goce comunal (“communal joy”) in their new homes. \nDaina Sanchez is an Assistant Professor of Chicana and Chicano Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. She received her Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of California\, Irvine. She was previously the Mellon-Sawyer Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Brown University and a Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow in the Native American and Indigenous Studies Program at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research agenda focuses on race\, migration\, and Indigenous youth. \nRefreshments will be served. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Dual Language Picturebooks in Aotearoa: Contributions to Language Revitalisation and Critical Language Awareness
DESCRIPTION:As part of a new lecture series\, Children’s Literature\, Cultural Preservation\, and Language Revitalization\, the Global Childhood Media Research Focus Group invites you to a talk by Prof. Nicola Daly entitled “Dual Language Picturebooks in Aotearoa: Contributions to Language Revitalisation and Critical Language Awareness.” \nIn this talk\, Prof. Nicola Daly will traverse a range of research studies exploring the contribution of dual language picturebooks to language revitalisation in Aotearoa New Zealand. Drawing on her new book\, Language\, Identity and Diversity in Picturebooks: An Aotearoa New Zealand Perspective (Routledge\, 2025)\, she will present findings showing how dual language picturebooks in Aotearoa can both reflect and disrupt language hierarchies\, and how they can be used in educational settings from preschool to university to support critical language awareness and language learning of the Indigenous language te reo Māori. \nNicola Daly is a sociolinguist and Associate Professor in the Division of Education\, University of Waikato\, where she teaches children’s literature and leads the Postgraduate Certificate in Children’s and Young Adult Literature. She also co-directs the Waikato Picturebook Research Unit. Her research focus is multilingual picturebooks and their role in perpetuating and challenging language attitudes. She was a Fulbright New Zealand Scholar at the University of Arizona\, USA in 2019-2020. She is an Executive Board Member and Treasurer of the International Research Society for Children’s Literature (IRSCL). \nZoom attendance link here \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Media Research Focus Group\, the Children’s Literature\, Cultural Preservation\, and Language Revitalization Lecture Series\, and the Department of Linguistics

SUMMARY:Talk: The Last Tsar: The Abdication of Nicholas II and the Fall of the Romanovs
DESCRIPTION:UCSB Professor Emeritus of History Tsuyoshi Hasegawa engages in a colloquy with Michigan State Professor Emeritus of History Lewis Siegelbaum on Professor Hasegawa’s new book\, The Last Tsar: The Abdication of Nicholas II and the Fall of the Romanovs. When Tsar Nicholas II fell from power in 1917\, Imperial Russia faced a series of overlapping crises\, from war to social unrest. Although Nicholas’s life is often described as tragic\, it was not fate that doomed the Romanovs; it was poor leadership and a blinkered faith in autocracy. Based on a trove of new archival discoveries\, The Last Tsar narrates how Nicholas’s resistance to reform doomed the monarchy. Encompassing the captivating personalities of the era\, it untangles the struggles between the increasingly isolated Nicholas and Alexandra and the factions of scheming nobles\, ruthless legislators\, and pragmatic generals who sought to stabilize the restive Russian empire either with the Tsar or without him. By rejecting compromise\, Nicholas undermined his supporters at crucial moments. His blunders cleared the way for all-out civil war and the eventual rise of the Soviet Union. Definitive and engrossing\, The Last Tsar uncovers how Nicholas II stumbled into revolution\, taking his family\, the Romanov dynasty\, and the whole Russian Empire down with him. \nTsuyoshi Hasegawa is professor emeritus at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. He is the author of numerous books\, including The February Revolution\, Petrograd 1917: The End of the Tsarist Regime and the Birth of Dual Power (2017)\, Crime and Punishment in the Russian Revolution: Mob Justice and the Police in Petrograd (2017); Racing the Enemy: Stalin\, Truman and the Surrender of Japan (2006)\, The Northern Territories Dispute and Russo‑Japanese Relations (1998)\, and The February Revolution: Petrograd\, 1917 (1981). He lives in Santa Barbara\, California. \nCosponsored by the Center for Cold War Studies and International History\, Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Department of Political Science\, Department of History\, and History Associates

SUMMARY:Key Passages Talk: Subject or Objects? Key Passageways between Things and Humans
DESCRIPTION:Based on three research projects on aesthetic environments\, this talk will discuss how and when humans and things become objects or subjects. Focusing on the figures of the opera fan\, the shoe fit model\, and the museum custodian\, the lecture will delve into the passivity of the fan as agency\, the fit model as subject and object at the same time\, and the custodian and their reduction to an object\, and how this\, paradoxically\, allows them to occupy their subject position. Audience Q&A and a reception will follow. \nClaudio E. Benzecry is Professor of Communication Studies and Sociology at Northwestern University. He is the author of The Opera Fanatic: Ethnography of an Obsession and The Perfect Fit: Creative Work in the Global Shoe Industry\, as well as editor of Social Theory Now (with M. Krause and I. Reed)\, all published by University of Chicago Press. He’s currently Co-editor in Chief of Qualitative Sociology. His work has received multiple awards from the American Sociological Association\, including the Lewis Coser\, and the Mary Douglas prizes. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Key Passages series and Sara Miller McCune and George D. McCune Endowment
