SUMMARY:Atlantic History Colloquium: Melissa Morris\, Assistant Professor of History\, University of Wyoming
DESCRIPTION:Pirates which infest that coast’: Illicit Trade and Imperial Rivalry in Seventeenth-Century Western Hispaniola\nThis presentation considers the illicit trade of tobacco and other goods from Western Hispaniola. French\, Dutch\, and English ships came from the 1560s to trade with the diverse groups living there—Indigenous\, Spanish\, and African. In response\, in 1605-6\, western and northwestern Hispaniola and other centers of tobacco cultivation were depopulated. The Spanish forcibly resettled residents\, burned their towns\, and issued a decree banning tobacco cultivation. These harsh measures\, however\, were far from the end of the island’s tobacco trade\, or of interlopers’ presence. Some residents refused to move\, and they were now joined by French and Dutch buccaneers. By 1630\, they had several tobacco plantations in western Hispaniola. This chapter relies upon documents in several languages and from diverse archives to tell the story of the Spanish illicit trade and depopulations\, the subsequent rise of interlopers who were loyal to no empire\, and the eventual takeover of western Hispaniola by the French. \nZoom RSVP

SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: E. Bennett Jones (The Huntington Library)
DESCRIPTION:The Indians Say: Storytelling\, Settler Colonialism and American Natural History\, 1722 to 1846 \nThis talk discusses the use of information attributed to Indigenous sources within eighteenth and nineteenth century Anglophone natural history. Early modern naturalists studying North American flora and fauna frequently sought out the expertise of Indigenous people\, who they simultaneously regarded as authoritative knowers and objects of study. But diplomatic alliances\, specific cultural protocols\, and regional dynamics all encouraged (or prevented) information sharing between settler naturalists and Indigenous people and these contexts in turn shaped how Anglophone naturalists presented and cited Indigenous expertise in published natural history. The talk explores the relationship between evidence\, identity\, and colonialism and examines how ideas about extraction and information underpinned the epistemology of early modern natural history. It also gestures towards present-day manifestations of these issues within scientific approaches to TEK (traditional ecological knowledge). \n  \nRSVP for Zoom: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEodO6vqzMuHdyICRUzt3ost8nF5jHEO8TX \nRSVP for in-person: https://forms.gle/4YpigVHmijybhVYv9

SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: Alexandra Minna Stern (University of Michigan)
DESCRIPTION:May 2 Alexandra Minna Stern (University of Michigan) \n“From State Coercion to Reparative Justice? Histories and Legacies of Eugenics and Sterilization in California” \nZoom RSVP: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEvdOmqrjojEtRUCEXGyTS_3KjPNovF6r6L \nIn Person RSVP: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1VuNtVVC2wj5HhtXpY9FXKdf43Tgp4W118aSpFY95x-E \nThis talk explores the history and legacies of eugenics and coerced sterilization in California from three angles. First\, I provide an overview of the archival and collaborative research involved in reconstructing the demographic and contextual history of compulsory sterilization during the era of eugenic legislation (1909-1979). Second\, I discuss the relevance of this history to contemporary issues in society and genetics\, ranging from debates over acceptable building names on university campuses to the insidious biases of some reprogenetic technologies. Finally\, I conclude by reflecting on the benefits and limits of reparations for eugenics\, with specific attention to the recently implemented compensation program for survivors of coerced sterilizations in state-run homes\, hospitals\, and prisons in California.

SUMMARY:Mutiny on the Black Prince: Slavery\, Piracy\, and State Capture in the Revolutionary Atlantic World
DESCRIPTION:James Sweet\, Professor of History\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\nMutiny on the Black Prince: Slavery\, Piracy\, and State Capture in the Revolutionary Atlantic World \nLocation: Hybrid\nBunche Hall 6275\nZoom RSVP\nTime: 12:30-2:00 pm \nThe slave ship Black Prince departed Bristol\, England\, in 1768\, bound for Old Calabar in West Africa. Before reaching the African coast\, the ship’s crew mutinied\, murdering the captain and officers. The mutineers renamed the ship “Liberty\,” elected new officers\, and set sail for Brazil. This talk traces the dramatic story of the mutiny\, as well as the merchant-owners’ response to the uprising. At the very moment that the American Revolution unfolded in North America\, the Black Prince’s owners conducted a “shadow” revolution\, mobilizing the power of the British Crown to seek justice and restitution on their behalf. This counter-revolution extended well beyond the realm of economic protectionism into corporate diplomacy\, surveillance\, arrest\, extradition\, and capital punishment. In this way\, even in an era of professed liberty and freedom\, the privatization of state power was already emerging\, replacing monarchies with corporate oligarchies\, presaging a new kind of political power in the Atlantic world.

Li (Cedars-Sinai) \n“When Herbs Become Drugs: Late Natural History and Early Clinical Trials in China” \nZoom RSVP: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwrce2vrDwuHtTE7HtTqJTG7iCo7vS39XWO \nIn Person RSVP: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ILInDOwf0IzCN9TMRv9cMWhPxtUCe8PIFSgGKZaoi2w \nThis talk discusses investigations of a Chinese herbal tuberculosis treatment as a window onto shifts in the production of scientific\nmedical knowledge in 1920-1930s Shanghai. Once a remedy for consumption local to the mountains of southern China and known by a variety of names in gazetteers and botanical sources\, by the 1920s it was sold in Shanghai as a trademarked tuberculosis treatment\, advertised in newspapers\, and tested by the state’s nascent public health institutions. Doctors sought to understand the herb in modes ranging from textual studies reminiscent of late imperial natural history to systematic evaluation of the effects of treatment in patients. Tracing changes in the ways doctors analyzed this herb reveals the increasing importance of quantification and experimentation in medical writing at this time.

SUMMARY:The Age of the Gas Mask: Susan Grayzel
DESCRIPTION:Susan Grayzel’s talk on April 11th\, from 4:00-6:00pm at 6275 Bunche Hall.  Attendance for this event is also available via Zoom.  Registration is required if attending via Zoom. \n“The First World War introduced the widespread use of lethal chemical arms. In its aftermath\, the British government\, like that of many states\, had to prepare civilians to confront such weapons in a future war. Over the course of the interwar period\, it developed individual anti-gas protection as a cornerstone of civil defence. The Age of the Gas Mask traces the fascinating history of one object – the civilian gas mask – through the years 1915–1945 and\, in so doing\, reveals the reach of modern\, total war and the limits of the state trying to safeguard civilian life in an extensive empire. Drawing on records from Britain’s Colonial\, Foreign\, India\, Home\, and War Offices and other archives alongside newspapers\, journals\, personal accounts and cultural sources\, Susan Grayzel connects the histories of the First and Second World Wars\, combatants and civilians\, men and women\, metropole and colony\, illuminating how new technologies of warfare shaped culture\, politics\, and society.”

SUMMARY:Magdeburg\, 1554: Flacius Illyricus Applies for a Grant
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Professor Anthony Grafton (Princeton University). \nEcclesiastical history began in the 1550s\, when the Lutheran Matthias Flacius Illyricus organized\na collaborative century-by-century history of Christianity. This confessional project never\nreached completion\, and its thick volumes met with severe criticism from co-religionists as well\nas Catholics. Nonetheless\, it provided a new model for the study of the past\, inspiring a\nrevolution in historiography. That’s the standard story. It’s not wrong: Flacius did many original\nthings: for example\, writing and submitting grant proposals. But it’s radically incomplete. This\nlecture reinterprets Flacius’s project and reexamines its impact. \nSponsored by CMRS-CEGS and the European Colloquium of the Department of History. \n5:00 pm PST in Royce 314 and live on Zoom. \nRegister to attend either onsite or online.

SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: Devon Golaszewski (Loyola Marymount\, LA)
DESCRIPTION:April 4 Devon Golaszewski (Loyola Marymount\, LA) \n“Medicalizing Childbirth in Post-Colonial Mali: Uterine Stimulant Drugs as Techno-Medical Tools and Social Cures” \nBy the 1970s\, uterine stimulant and oxytocic drugs such as Pitocin and Methylergometrine were widely used to manage childbirth in Mali. Rural maternity wards stocked these drugs to stop post-partum hemorrhage and to speed labor\, and health personnel moonlighting after-hours pushed their use to augment contractions. Why did these drugs become so widespread? On the one hand\, biomedical obstetric workers used these drugs as a tool to respond to risky birth in a context of patchy infrastructure. The distance between rural clinics and reference hospitals\, and the challenges of traveling between them\, meant that health workers sought to avoid having to refer women. Uterine stimulant drugs thus served as a techno-medical tool to paper over systemic infrastructural challenges. But the use of uterine stimulant drugs as a “magic bullet” to solve a systemic health issue\, a classic narrative of post-colonial African health policy\, is only part of the story.Malian women also actively sought to avoid prolonged labor. For Malians\, one possible explanation for a difficult birth was the woman’s sexual misbehavior\, and prolonged labor opened Malian women to accusations of adultery. To avoid this risk\, Malian women sought to manage childbirth in a way which would avoid any suspicions (including through the use of plant medicines with oxytocic properties). Some women thus welcomed pharmaceutical uterine stimulant drugs to speed labor and avoid the social risk of problems in childbirth. This paper explores how and why certain medical technologies are taken up\, and the multiple origins of the “pharmaceuticalization” of childbirth. \nZoom RSVP: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0vcuqoqDooG9eDaFiBDW9c-nNgl58Xf5gW \nIn Person RSVP: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Jy9mseT8oGlgKvvXyquxTMxv45_Y2yaPfaLtnkHSTD0

SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: Alexander Kertzner (UCLA)
DESCRIPTION:“Polio\, Adventism\, and Rehabilitation Medicine in Los Angeles.” \nRancho Los Amigos was founded during the late nineteenth century as a poor farm but became a rehabilitation hospital for iron lung patients during Los Angeles’s 1950s polio epidemics. Following the polio vaccination campaigns\, researchers received federal funding to test Rancho’s concept of care on other chronic patient groups and it became an internationally renowned rehabilitation center. \nVarious aspects of Los Angeles’s city life\, including its unorthodox religious environment\, tradition of popular medicine\, and local industries\, from Hollywood to aerospace\, informed the process by which rehabilitation took shape at Rancho Los Amigos. My talk situates Seventh Day Adventism within this history.  Many of the physicians who worked at Rancho Los Amigos during the years that it became a rehabilitation center were educated at the College of Medical Evangelists (now the Loma Linda University School of Medicine)\, an Adventist medical school in Loma Linda\, California. I will discuss how life in Southern California’s Adventist community impacted not only the clinical practice of rehabilitation at Rancho Los Amigos\, but the research conducted in its laboratories. In studying how Adventists\, Department of Defense researchers\, and local engineers designed rehabilitation technologies\, we see how the region’s unique environment stimulated innovation in rehabilitation medicine\, both locally and nationally. \nZoom RSVP: \nhttps://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUpd–qrjovGNxKoSVYViqjAr1dFmOnpzIT \nIn Person RSVP (at 5288 Bunche Hall): \nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1gfZeJr4ZiB3S33dD3780Pr2Vc43Xz8rRWO2uOc4jg28

SUMMARY:"'Chi beve birra campa cent'anni!': Wine Beer\, and the Question of Italian Identity under Fascism"
DESCRIPTION:EUROPEAN COLLOQUIUM\nTALK BY WEBER POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLAR\, BRIAN GRIFFITH\nThis paper analyzes the struggles between the Italian winemaking and brewing industries over the shaping of bourgeois Italian tastes and habits during the interwar decades. During the early 1920s\, Fascist Italy’s Industrial Wine Lobby began unveiling a wide range of public relations and collective marketing campaigns\, which were aimed at forging new ‘fashions’ among the country’s wayward middle- and upper-class consumers. The pro-wine lobby’s efforts\, however\, were obstructed by a variety of political and commercial challenges\, including a growing competition with various ‘foreign’ beverage industries\, such as coffee\, cocktails\, and\, above all\, beer. Between 1929 and 1931\, Italian brewers’ commercial lobbying organization\, the National Beer Propaganda Consortium\, launched two ambitious collective marketing campaigns of its own\, which were centered on discursively intertwining the beverage’s consumption with bourgeois sociability\, domesticity\, and ‘Italian’ identity. Unwilling to yield any commercial ground to domestic brewers\, Italy’s Industrial Wine Lobby launched a follow-up\, and wide-ranging collective marketing campaign in order to both defend ‘the world’s vineyard’ from the ‘invasion’ of ‘semi-barbarian’ beverages\, as one wine lobbyist colorfully phrased it in 1935. By exploring these industries’ conflicts over the definition and articulation of ‘Italian’ taste and style during the interwar years\, this study aims to shed further light on the complex relationships between consumerism\, industrial ‘fashion’ dynamics\, and national identity under Benito Mussolini’s fascist dictatorship. \nIf you would like to attend via Zoom\, please RSVP.
