SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: Taylor Moore (UCSB): “Tracing the Magical Rhinoceros Horn in Egypt: A Decolonial Materialist History”
DESCRIPTION:Fall 2020 Colloquium Schedule \nWe will meet on zoom from 4-5 pm. RSVP links will be circulated with the announcements for the individual talks. \nNov 23 \nRegistration: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYsdeGurzIqGtxldiJYGsO0ROwIFjd72WeD  \nTaylor Moore (UCSB): “Tracing the Magical Rhinoceros Horn in Egypt: A Decolonial Materialist History” \nCo-sponsored by the European History Colloquium \nCan emancipatory\, decolonial histories be extracted from objects collected from—or made visible to history by—the archives of colonialism?  This talk explores this question through the case study of the rhinoceros horn amulet (/qarn el-khartit/)\, an ethnographic object collected by British anthropologist Winifred Blackman during her fieldwork in Egypt in the 1920s. Markedly decentering the traditional colonial history of how the rhinoceros horn was collected and displayed as an object in European museums\,  I follow the trail of the rhinoceros horn back to the site of its collection in Egypt to reveal a strikingly different story: one of magic/medicine\, gender\, race\, and enslavement—setagainst the backdrop of Egypt’s imperial pursuits in East Africa. As such\, I demonstrate how to “read” the rhinoceros horn as an object-archive that illuminates the networks\, actors\, and economies whose bodies and labor are generally rendered invisible in Eurocentric histories of global science and medicine. \nTaylor M. Moore is a University of California Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow in the History Department at UC Santa Barbara. Her research lies at the intersections of critical race studies\,decolonial/postcolonial histories of science\, and decolonial materiality studies. Her book manuscript\, /Superstitious Women: Race\, Magic\, and Medicine in Egypt/\, uses modern Egyptian amulets as an archive to reconstruct the magical and vernacular medical life-worlds of peasant women healers\, and their critical role developing medico-anthropological expertise in Egypt from 1880-1950.

SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: Theodore Porter (UCLA) "Democracy Counts: On Sacred and Debased Numbers”
DESCRIPTION:Nov. 2\, 2020\, 4:00pm\, PST \nTheodore Porter (UCLA)\, “Democracy Counts: Sacred and Debased numbers” \nCommentary by Amir Alexander (UCLA) \n\nThe Trump Administration’s systematic rejection of accurate numbers in such domains as public health and the census is of a piece with Trump’s denial of the possibility of fair elections. Taken seriously\, it comes down to a rejection of democratic government. This colloquium is oriented around Porter’s blog\, “Democracy Counts\,” which has been made available with this announcement\, and which you are encouraged to read. Amir Alexander will provide a commentary\, to be followed by a wide-ranging discussion on numbers and politics. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy \nPlease register here to receive the zoom link. \nhttps://press.princeton.edu/ideas/democracy-counts-on-sacred-and-debased-numbers \n\nProtesters shout outside the Miami-Dade County election office Nov. 22\, 2000. (Colin Braley/Reuters)

SUMMARY:Deborah Coen\, “Climate Change and the Enigma of Usable Knowledge”
DESCRIPTION:Deborah Coen\, Yale University \n“Climate Change and the Enigma of Usable Knowledge” \nOne of the most pressing challenges for historians of science today is to explain the failure of scientific knowledge of anthropogenic climate change to motivate timely action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To date explanations have focused on such factors as the role of industry-funded disinformation campaigns\, the disconnect between scientific research and the information needs of policy-makers\, the reluctance of scientists to engage in advocacy\, and the inexperience of US geoscientists with public engagement due to the secrecy imposed on their research during the Cold War. This presentation will lay out an alternative (yet complementary) framework for answering this question\, drawing on research in progress. I will argue\, first\, that the image of climate scientists as disengaged from the public derives from a focus on theorists and global modelers at the expense of those working at the regional scale (many of whom identified as geographers or ecologists rather than physicists or chemists). Indeed\, from the early days of research on the “Carbon Dioxide Problem” in the 1970s\, there was no lack of effort to make the science of anthropogenic climate change actionable and accessible—or\, in the parlance of the day\, “usable.” Indeed\, “usable knowledge” was a buzzword of the 1970s and ‘80s that significantly shaped climate research at multiple major international institutions. These projects evolved quite independently of each other (and were\, in some cases\, even marked by mutual hostility)\, yet all took usability as their goal. However\, what usability meant to this population of researchers was far from uniform. My aim\, then\, is to study how ideals of usable knowledge formed\, circulated\, and confronted each other in the community of climate researchers from the 1970s to today\, at times in dialogue with practitioners of Science & Technology Studies. My hypothesis is that the past four decades have seen an overall trend towards an increasingly narrow definition of usability\, reflecting the growing dominance of a top-down model of risk management. Yet the climate field has also generated creative resistance to this trend\, which requires a historical perspective to appreciate properly. \n\nMarch 16\, 2020\, 4:00pm | Bunche Hall 5288

SUMMARY:Otniel Dror\, “Supra-Maximal Super-Pleasure”
DESCRIPTION:Otniel Dror\, Hebrew University and UCLA Institute for Society and Genetics \n“Supra-Maximal Super-Pleasure” \nThis talk presents the discovery of a new post-World War II “supramaximal” “super-pleasure” region in the brain (of laboratory rats). This discovery of an instantaneously-produced insatiable self-perpetuating super-pleasure captured the imagination of contemporaries and of generations to come. It inaugurated a major transformation whose repercussions and off-shoots are very much still with us today\, including the development of a neurophysiology of decision making\, risk taking\, addiction\, affective neuroscience\, and more. I argue that the excessiveness of the newly-discovered supramaximal super-pleasure challenged existing models of organisms\, of the self\, and of nature and society. It challenged basic conceptions of the self and of organisms by presenting a pleasure that disrupted the fundamental and necessary balance between pleasure and pain. I reconstruct the laboratory enactments and models that constituted this new pleasure as “supramaximal\,” instant\, and insatiable\, suggest several postwar contexts that situate the new pleasure\, and examine expert and vernacular reactions to the new super-pleasure. \nMarch 9\, 2020\, 4:00PM | Bunche 6275

SUMMARY:Lukas Rieppel\, “Assembling the Dinosaur”
DESCRIPTION:Lukas Rieppel\, Brown University \n“Assembling the Dinosaur” \nDinosaur fossils were first found in England\, but a series of late-nineteenth-century discoveries in the American West turned the United States into a world center for vertebrate paleontology. Around the same time\, the United States also emerged as an economic powerhouse of global proportions\, and large\, fierce\, and spectacular creatures like Tyrannosaurus\, Brontosaurus\, and Triceratops became powerful emblems of American capitalism. Tracing the links among dinosaurs\, capitalism\, and culture during this era\, Lukas Rieppel reveals how these giant reptiles became intertwined with commercial culture\, philanthropic interests\, and the popular imagination during America’s long Gilded Age. \n\nFebruary 3\, 2020\, 4:00pm | 5288 Bunche Hall

SUMMARY:Vivien Hamilton “Competing Virtues of Measurement: Physics\, Medicine and Quantification in Early X-ray Therapy”
DESCRIPTION:History of Science\, Medicine\, and Technology \nFall 2019 Colloquium \nAll talks are held in Bunche 5288 at 4pm unless otherwise noted. \nNovember 25: Vivien Hamilton\, UCLA \n“Competing Virtues of Measurement: Physics\, Medicine and Quantification in Early X-ray Therapy” \nAbstract \nVery soon after the discovery of x-rays in 1895\, enthusiastic doctors began to use the new radiation to treat cancer and various skin diseases. This early period of x-ray therapy has often been portrayed as chaotic and exploratory\, largely because there were so many different methods for measuring a dose of x-rays. In the usual story\, the chaos was contained and progress was made possible when the international radiological community settled on a standard unit of measurement\, the röntgen\, in 1928. This unit was strongly preferred by the physicists working in the x-ray community\, who dismissed the methods preferred by their medical colleagues as rough and inadequate.  Rather than accepting this judgment\, this talk will ask us to look more closely at the ways in which x-rays were being measured in clinical spaces prior to 1928\, arguing that physicists and doctors evaluated the same measuring practices so differently because each group desired something quite different from the act of measurement. For physicists\, the key virtues of quantitative measurement were precision and standardization\, while doctors desired accuracy and repeatability within their own practice. The physicists’ vision ultimately won\, demonstrating that close collaboration between experts from different disciplines does not always result in compromise or mutual transformation. In this case\, the physicists’ values played an increasingly large role in shaping the emerging culture of radiology

SUMMARY:Sabine Arnaud - “The Specter of Abnormality: Deaf Education and the Poetics of Contestation at the Turn of the Twentieth-Century”
DESCRIPTION:History of Science and Medicine Colloquium \nNovember 13\, 2018\n12 – 1:30\n6275 Bunche (History Department Conference Room) \nSabine Arnaud\, CNRS and Centre Koyré\, Paris\n“The Specter of Abnormality: Deaf Education and the Poetics of Contestation at\nthe Turn of the Twentieth-Century” \n  \nAbstract: \nWhile tracing the scope of the French Republican project promoting speech in Deaf education\,\nthis paper will analyze how the spread of oralism coincided with the development of new\ncategories to classify children\, especially as “backward” and “abnormal.” It will examine the\nresponses by Deaf people\, who\, far from being mere spectators of the change\, developed a radical\ncritique of the repercussions of the new pedagogical methods\, employing irony\, sarcasm\, and\ncritical analysis. This paper will show how these years of struggle were also years of\nemancipation\, in which the acquisition of language became a poetical and political act.

SUMMARY:Kirsten Moore-Sheeley - “From Kenyan Particulars to Global Universals: Making Insecticide-Treated Bed Nets into a Biomedical Technology”
DESCRIPTION:Monday Colloquium \nOctober 8 \n4 pm\, Bunche 5288 \nKirsten Moore-Sheeley will give the first talk in the colloquium series this year.  Kirsten has a postdoctoral position in the new Cedars-Sinai Program in the History of Medicine\, and she will be teaching a course on the history of global health (Hist 179A) in Winter 2019.  The colloquium will be followed by a reception. \nTitle: \n“From Kenyan Particulars to Global Universals: Making Insecticide-Treated Bed Nets into a Biomedical Technology” \nAbstract: \nToday\, insecticide-treated bed nets are a primary malaria control intervention\, understood to save lives anywhere malaria poses a risk. However\, scientists and health officials did not always understand this mundane object as a universally-applicable\, biomedical technology. This talk takes an in-depth look at the process by which insecticide-treated nets were consolidated as a biomedical technology through an historical ethnography of the last and largest bed net experiment ever conducted: a community randomized controlled trial in the Siaya district of western Kenya. In the mid-1990s\, scientists from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Kenya Medical Research Institute sought to demonstrate insecticide-treated nets could reduce child mortality even in the most extreme conditions of malaria transmission. Rather than implement experimental protocols in a straightforward manner\, scientists had to continually tailor their research practices to circumstances and populations in Siaya. While local health workers and residents from Siaya played a significant role in producing biomedical knowledge about insecticide-treated nets\, recognition of their influence got lost as researchers generalized experimental findings into global health knowledge. Consequently\, public health policy makers and programmers overlooked the work necessary to make bed nets function as biomedical tools\, much to the detriment of early bed net distribution and malaria control efforts in Africa.
