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:Marissa Jenrich\, "'Like a Crow on Carrion': Black Women's Resistance to Police Power in New York City\, 1861-1880"
DESCRIPTION:Marissa’s article highlights the complex relationship between black women and New York City police in the years between the founding of the municipal force in 1845 and the officer-driven race riot that punctuated the turn of the twentieth century. It considers how shifts in police power\, departmental structure\, and jurisdiction altered the lives of women of color at a time when the city itself was undergoing tremendous change. In particular\, this article examines the diverse ways women resisted the incursions of law enforcement by engaging in strategies of denial\, registration\, and direct protest. By doing so\, this article hopes to not only shed light on the period in question\, but also to deepen our understanding of the Progressive-Era brand of policing that\, for many New Yorkers\, resulted in a ”condemnation of blackness\,” itself. \n—   Please note that there is a pre-circulated paper that will be sent out a week before this event.  Please contact Rebeca Martinez at rmartnz165@g.ucla.edu for further information on the zoom link and paper.   —

SUMMARY:Thabisile Griffin\, "Black Militias in the Era of Revolutions: Politics\, Race and Labor"
DESCRIPTION:November 19\, 2020\n12:30 – 2:00 pm \nThabisile Griffin\, PhD Candidate\, UCLA\n“Black Militias in the Era of Revolutions: Politics\, Race and Labor” \nFrom 1781 to 1790\, the British Caribbean military and colonial administrators struggled with renegotiating their racial truth systems – through a recalibration of defense. The last two decades of the century were ripe with not only the insurrections of enslaved Africans\, but also threats from competing European powers and indigenous populations. In order to survive\, there were constant re-adjustments made to garrison structure and fortifications\, that ultimately disrupted racial sensibilities to security. A contentious reinforcement would develop in the 1780s\, incentivized by previous strategies used during the American Revolution. Military officials and colonial administrators in the Caribbean were now reckoning with the possibility of employing and arming entire battalions of Black men for the British Army. The creation of this unit in the Caribbean\, the Black Corps\, was only possible through the evolving myths and villainization of St. Vincent’s Black indigenous population—the Black Caribs. Only through the narrative of the Black Caribs could the fantasy of the Black Corps be actualized. \nRegister

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.
