SUMMARY:Ann Little (Colorado State University) - Blogging\, Tweeting\, and Instagramming the Borderlands of Public and Academic History: Social Media as a Tool for Public Engagement
DESCRIPTION:College and university History departments (once again?) say they’re in crisis: nationwide\, our numbers of majors have shrunk dramatically over the past decade\, not to mention the “job crisis” of the past 45 years that has outlived the expansion of the profession from 1945-1970 nearly twice over. What’s an academic historian to do about this? Social media like Facebook\, blogs\, Twitter\, and Instagram can be tools for building interest and support for our work as historians\, and can help build careers to boot. \nThis talk by Ann M. Little (from Colorado State University’s Department of History) will examine the promise (mostly) and perils of being a historian in public online. \n \nIn keeping with the theme\, if you want to check out Ann on Twitter\, she’s at @historiann or read her blog.

SUMMARY:Hail the Maintainers! or - How to Give Up the Innovation Fetish (Prof. Lee Vinsel)
DESCRIPTION:Hail the Maintainers! or – How to Give Up the Innovation Fetish \nJoin us for a talk by Prof. Lee Vinsel\, Stevens Institute of Technology – 16 February 2017 in HSSB 4080 at 4PM \nOur culture is obsessed with innovation. Innovation is thought to be the goal of business\, policy-making\, philanthropy\, education\, even play. Yet\, the vast majority of human activity aims not at creating or adopting innovative things but in maintaining old ones. While our society celebrates Innovators\, the simple truth is that most of us are Maintainers. This talk first traces the rise of innovation-speak in the USA. The Cult of Invention that developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries laid the foundation\, but rise of the word “innovation” itself was a distinctly post-World War II phenomenon. Ironically\, the term was used more and more after 1970—and particularly after 1990—when the United States experienced low economic growth and fewer meaningful innovations than in the previous hundred years. \nInnovation-speak was a reaction to and antidote for economic malaise\, and all institutions\, including universities\, were to be reformed in its name. After laying out this history\, I will put forward an alternative view of human life with technology\, drawing on a tradition of thought\, including historians like Ruth Schwartz Cowan and David Edgerton. I will conclude by exploring the consequences of this more grounded view of technology and society for both the future of historical and social scientific technology studies and for policy-making. \nThis talk is co-sponsored with the Machines\, People\, and Politics RFG \nA flyer for Lee’s talk is here.

SUMMARY:Cheryl Jimenez Frei\, UCSB\, "Shaping and Contesting the Past: Monuments\, Memory and Identity in Buenos Aires"
DESCRIPTION:UCSB History Associates invites you to attend the Fourth Annual Van Gelderen Graduate Student Lecture  \nCheryl Jimemez Frei\, a PhD Student in Latin American History\, will be giving a lecture related to her work on memory and the built environment in Argentina.  A luncheon will follow.  To attend the luncheon\, please fill out the form here: 2017-Frei flyer-3 \nIn 2013\, then-President of Argentina Cristina Fernández de Kirchner sparked both protest and praise after announcing the removal of a nearly century-old monument of Christopher Columbus in Buenos Aires. It had been a gift from Argentina’s prominent Italian immigrant community\, to celebrate the nation’s centen-nial of independence. After two years of contentious public debates\, Kirchner celebrated the inaugural of the massive monument that replaced it—a sculpture of Jua-na Azurduy de Padilla\, a nineteenth-century female rev-olutionary fighter of indigenous heritage\, and a histori-cal figure previously unknown to most. \nThe controversy over these statues provides a flashpoint to examine the history and iconography of monuments in Buenos Aires’s commemorative core\, to question how history\, identity\, and memory are pro-duced and internalized through public spaces. How did monuments perform specific didactic functions in the past\, and do they continue to do so in the present? If so\, who has authority in representation? What should be-come of monuments to now-questionable heroes and narratives of the past? \nCheryl Jimenez Frei is completing her PhD dissertation in Latin American History. Her research specialties include Argentina\, memory\, and the built environment\, visual culture\, and public history. Her article\, “Contesting Columbus: Monuments\, Memory and Identity in Buenos Aires\,” was recently accepted by the Journal of Latin American Studies.
