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
