Atlantic History Colloquium: Jose Monge, UCLA
2024-04-25 12:00 - 13:30 | Bunche 6275 & Zoom
José Monge is a PhD candidate in the Department of Architecture and Urban Design. His dissertation, titled Maritime Labor, Candles, and the Architecture of the Enlightenment (1750-1872), focuses on the role that whale-originated illuminants, specifically spermaceti candles and oil, played in the American Enlightenment as an intellectual project and the U.S. as a country. By unravelling the tension between binaries such as intellectual and manual labor–the consumers that bought these commodities and the producers that were not able to afford them–the project
understands architecture as a history of activities that moved from sea to land and land to sea, challenging assumptions about the static “nature” of architecture.
The Atlantic History Colloquium generates innovative scholarship on the relations linking Africa, Europe and the Americas by investigating the expansion of markets during the slave trade; the production of literary texts and forms of historical memory; the politics of religious dissent and conversion; the growth of colonial science and cartography; Native American ethnogenesis; the rise of abolitionist and Pan-African ideologies; and the dynamics of race, gender and creolization throughout the Atlantic world. Please visit UCLA Atlantic History for more information and a complete schedule of events in 2023.

Melissa Morris “’Pirates Which Infest That Coast’: Illicit Trade and Imperial Rivalry in Seventeenth-Century Western Hispaniola”
2024-05-23 12:00 - 13:30 | Bunche 6275 & Zoom
Dr. Melissa N. Morris is a historian of early America and the Atlantic World whose research is centered on the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. She is particularly interested in the cross-cultural interactions that defined colonial encounters, the role of plants in driving European expansion, the dissemination of geographic and agricultural knowledge, and colonial failures in the Americas. She completed her PhD in history at Columbia University in 2017. Dr. Morris’s first book project, “Cultivating Colonies: Tobacco and the Origins of Empires, 1580-1740,” considers how tobacco helped the Dutch, English, and French establish empires in the Americas. It looks in particular at how Europeans relied upon indigenous and Spanish assistance to learn to cultivate tobacco, a crop they grew in nearly all their early colonies.
