SUMMARY:How to Build a History of Science Course from the Ground Up
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is welcome to the first installment of the History of Science\, Medicine\, and Technology Colloquium Series. UCLA’s own Jamie Kreiner will be presenting “How to Build a History of Science Course from the Ground Up.” \nCreating a course from scratch takes a lot of work — but it doesn’t have to be a mystery or a slog\, either. Jamie Kreiner will talk about how she developed a new lower-division survey of the history of science in the Middle Ages: this example will introduce grad students to the process of designing and building their own courses and engage the whole group in a conversation about pedagogical approaches to the history of science. \nSee you in the History of Science Room or join our listserv by emailing jkaptanian@ucla.edu for the option to listen via Zoom.

SUMMARY:"Wasteland to Date Garden": Eugenics and Agriculture in the California Desert; Between Radicalism and Technocracy: The Council for Science and Society and the Politics of Risk and Expertise\, 1973-1990
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is welcome to the next installment of the History of Science\, Medicine\, and Technology Colloquium Series. UCLA’s own Margaret Spaulding and Claire Votava will be presenting. \nMeg’s talk is titled “Wasteland to Date Garden”: Eugenics and Agriculture in the California Desert. Previous historians have shown how the conservation movement inspired eugenicists\, who anthropomorphized trees and forests in order to make eugenic arguments about racial preservation. This presentation will reveal how a different environment the desert- and different circumstances- agricultural expansion- nonetheless led to a similar result\, wherein eugenic discourses of reproduction\, control\, and purity became entangled with the emergence and growth of the commercial date industry. \nClaire will be presenting Between Radicalism and Technocracy: The Council for Science and Society and the Politics of Risk and Expertise\, 1973-1990. This paper recovers the overlooked Council for Science and Society (1973-1990) to reconsider the history of technoscientific critique in late 20th-century Britain. Positioned alongside but distinct from the more activist British Society for Social Responsibility in Science\, the CSS advanced a cautious\, deliberative mode of critique through elite working parties and policy reports on risk\, expertise\, and technological governance. Its ambivalent stance- neither fully technocratic nor overtly radical- illuminates alternative models of scientific responsibility and the contested politics of expertise. \nSee you in the History of Science Room or join us over Zoom: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/rDDLSdqDQN2Qy6G7dBdcsQ

SUMMARY:Territoriality and Freedom in the Bush: A Community-Focused Archaeology of Marronage in Colonial Dominica
DESCRIPTION:Please note: Contrary to the usual schedule\, this talk is on a Wednesday! \nRSVP for attending the talk remotely (Zoom): https://ucla.in/3WvjYFm \n  \nSpeaker: \nJonathan Rodriguez \nMcKnight Doctoral Fellow \nDept. of Anthropology\, University of South Florida \n  \nPaper: \n Justin Dunnavant (Discussant) \nAssistant Professor\, Dept. of Anthropology\, UCLA \n  \nJacko Steps\, Jacko Flats Trail\, Dominica. The stone steps were built by Chief Jacko\, an 18th-century leader of escaped slaves\, to access their Maroon settlement and protect it against colonial forces. Photo by Jonathan Rodriguez. \nIn British colonial Dominica from 1763 to 1834\, Maroons resisted enslavement by establishing fugitive geographies of resistance in the mountainous hinterlands of the island. The physical landscape of the island afforded Maroons a space to create communities\, survive in the rainforests\, and resist European colonialism and enslavement. This geospatial analysis of refuge settlements illustrates how Maroon geographies and Black ecologies within the untamed interior of Dominica disrupted cartographical concepts of European settler colonialism based on order\, hierarchy\, and exploitation. Most importantly\, this legacy of fugitive spatial methods and ecological practices was later employed by Rastafarians during the oppressive era of the Dread Act. After discussing the regional study\, I shift to the site-based survey highlighting the results of the community-based archaeological and digital heritage project at Jacko Flats. Jacko Flats is located near the rural village of Belles in the Central Forest Reserve\, and its place name signifies the location of a Maroon settlement occupied by self-emancipated formerly enslaved Africans under the leadership of Chief Jacko from 1764 to 1814. The archaeological project at Jacko Flats embraced this idea of creating community by collaborating with the Create Caribbean Research Institute at Dominica State College\, self-identified Dominican Maroon descendants\, local scholars and interested site visitors\, and Rastafarians. The results of the community-based archaeological project demonstrate how prioritizing collaboration facilitated the inclusion of interpretations of the site that are often neglected. I also reflect on the challenges and solutions for developing a community-focused archaeology project in the isolated hinterlands of Dominica. \n  \nBiography: Jonathan Rodriguez is a McKnight Doctoral Fellow in the department of Anthropology at the University of South Florida. In 2023\, he received a Fulbright U.S. Student Research grant to teach digital heritage methodologies to interns at Create Caribbean Research Institute and to conduct the first archaeological investigation of a Maroon settlement on the Caribbean island of Dominica. His research interests include historical archaeology\, Caribbean archaeology\, Geographic Information Science and digital heritage research\, and Maroon studies. \n

SUMMARY:"Engineering the Engineer at the Medici Court in the Age of Galileo"
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is welcome to the next installment of the History of Science\, Medicine\, and Technology Colloquium Series. Cristiano Zanetti will be joining us- he is a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow at Caltech and a long-term Research Fellow at the Huntington Library. Cristiano will be presenting “Engineering the Engineer at the Medici Court in the Age of Galileo.” \nThis talk explores how two late Renaissance Florentine academies\, connected to the Medici court system\, influenced early modern European scientific and technological development. By analyzing six unpublished manuscripts located in different countries\, and considering the broader Tuscan context\, Zanetti will focus on how Medici-sponsored educational practices shaped not only the professional development of late Renaissance European architect-engineers—particularly in practical mathematics and technological innovation—but also the analytical outlook of influential figures such as Galileo Galilei. \nSee you in the History of Science Room or via Zoom https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/63ji1NIGSxqm_FoP_fCSNg

SUMMARY:Boring into the "Mountain Sickness" Miners' Cancers\, Occupational Health\, and the Discovery of Radiation Risk in Central Europe
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is welcome to the next installment of the History of Science\, Medicine\, and Technology Colloquium Series. California State University\, Long Beach’s Professor of History Dr. Caitlin Murdock will be presenting Boring into the “Mountain Sickness” Miners’ Cancers\, Occupational Health\, and the Discovery of Radiation Risk in Central Europe. \nIn the early twentieth century\, physicians\, public health officials\, and miners in the mountainous Erzgebirge region between German Saxony and northern Bohemia began investigating a lung cancer that had been associated with the region’s miners since the sixteenth century. This paper explores how the discovery of nuclear radiation\, the advent of “radium” spas\, and the rise of modern social welfare protections transformed an apparently local health problem into a key to expanding occupational health protections and understanding radiation health risk in Germany\, Czechoslovakia\, and globally. \n  \nSee you in the History of Science Room or join us over Zoom: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/j/97404626072?pwd=UMHsbaiDXJegFoeDhMJa.JXaiw0IbUC.1

SUMMARY:The Road Not Taken: Big Sur and the Unimaginability of Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is welcome to the next installment of the History of Science\, Medicine\, and Technology Colloquium Series. Dr. Tamara Venit-Shelton\, Professor of History at Claremont McKenna College\, will be joining us. She is a will be presenting “The Road Not Taken: Big Sur and the Unimaginability of Retreat.” \nCalifornia Highway 1 at Big Sur is an ideal case with which to think about how rural\, coastal communities are and are not adapting to the changing climate. Since the 1980s\, global climate change has made the landscape slide more freely and dramatically into the ocean\, and road closures – which have always been a seasonal reality – have grown increasingly frequent and disruptive. Caltrans is investing to protect Highway 1 from crumbling into the sea with cable nets\, rebar\, and electrochemical treatments that fortify cliff faces as well as roads and bridges\, but those efforts have not silenced debate over giving up on Highway 1 altogether. Permanently closing Highway 1 at Big Sur\, if it ever happened\, would be an example of an adaptation strategy that planners call “managed retreat\,” the coordinated relocation of people and infrastructure in the face of changing environmental conditions. This paper is an environmental history of road closures that asks how Big Sur residents found ways to thrive\, both personally and economically\, in the absence of Highway 1 and probes the possibilities for life after it falls into the ocean. \nSee you in the History of Science Room or via Zoom:\nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/QgidfJXpSFqtBq8b9tfU9A

SUMMARY:Mapping the Criminal Brain: Murder\, Morphology\, and the Rise of the Psychiatric Expert Witness
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is welcome to the next installment of the History of Science\, Medicine\, and Technology Colloquium Series. Dr. Wendy Kline Purdue University’s Dema G. Seelye Chair in the History of Medicine and Director of the Medical Humanities Program\, will be joining us. She is a will be presenting “Mapping the Criminal Brain: Murder\, Morphology\, and the Rise of the Psychiatric Expert Witness.” \nIn 1901\, medical student Edward Anthony Spitzka autopsied Leon Colgosz’s brain just after he was executed for assassinating President McKinley. It was a transformative moment not just for his career\, but also for the psychiatric profession. Mapping the brain – its size and structure\, its electrical impulses\, its composition\, and its injuries – enabled psychiatric knowledge to enter the criminal courtroom. Forensic psychiatrists presented judges\, lawyers\, and jurors with a new way of understanding the mind of the murderer\, and\, more generally\, the secrets of the human brain. \nSee you in the History of Science Room (Bunche 5288) or via Zoom\nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/x_2_DIHoTwGOu8rZFNIBIw.

SUMMARY:Vulnerable Bodies: Roman Medical Research and the Enslaved
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is welcome to the next installment of the History of Science\, Medicine\, and Technology Colloquium Series. Dr. Claire Bubb\, Visiting Associate Professor of Classics at USC\, will be joining us. She is a will be presenting “Vulnerable Bodies: Roman Medical Research and the Enslaved.” \nRoman doctors periodically required bodies\, both living and dead\, for medical demonstration and research. There were many vulnerable bodies in Roman society–animals\, the enslaved\, the impoverished\, the outcast\, and the conquered–and this talk will explore which bodies doctors seem to have favored for which purposes. As it turns out\, their use of the enslaved appears to have been surprisingly curtailed. The talk will therefore also address Galen’s perspectives on slavery and the enslaved and explore the potential boundaries to the exploitation of this particularly vulnerable population. \nSee you in the History of Science Room or via Zoom:\nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/QIkvfaYBTei-hPhAKDF0Pg
