SUMMARY:Cold War Working Group Workshop | Nick Cohen "Forging an International Backstop: Commercial Banking\, Foreign Policy\, and the Empowerment of the IMF\, 1973-1981" | Mar 4\, 11 AM
DESCRIPTION:When: Saturday\, March 4\, 11 AM to 12:30 PM \nWhere: West Campus Point Faculty Housing Community’s Outdoor Plaza \nThe Center for Cold War Studies and International History (CCWS) and the Cold War Working Group (CWWG) will host an in-person workshop at the West Campus Point faculty housing community’s outdoor plaza. We will be reading and discussing a paper\, “Forging an International Backstop: Commercial Banking\, Foreign Policy\, and the Empowerment of the IMF\, 1973-1981\,” by Nick Cohen\, a doctoral candidate in the UCSB history department.  \nAbstract: How were the practice and image of commercial banking reinvented alongside the expansion and empowerment of the International Monetary Fund in the decade preceding the global debt crisis of the 1980s? Historians of both business and foreign relations in the 1970s have rightly emphasized the instrumental role played by the Oil Shocks in facilitating the resurgence of global finance and remaking the global balance of power in an era of interdependence. Examining the history of US commercial banking alongside the rise of the IMF\, this paper argues that global financialization was also contingent upon a sort of Polanyian double-movement\, in which the explosion in the size and power of private international capital markets relied on the concurrent empowerment of the international institution meant to backstop such lending. In the wake of the first oil shock\, commercial banks doubled down on the lucrative new business of lending to developing nations in the global south and eastern bloc eager for funds to cope with ballooning balance-of-payments deficits. In response to this same balance-of-payments problem\, the IMF began to increase in size and capability through the introduction and gradual expansion of the so-called “Witteveen Facility.” By examining political debates in the United States concerning the regulation of international finance this paper demonstrates that for US policymakers questions over US contributions to the IMF and the role of private American banks overseas were often one in the same. By the end of the 1970s\, moreover\, commercial bankers had become some of the most vocal advocates for expanding IMF resources. By examining archival material from the Carter administration and the IMF\, the papers of notorious Citibank chief Walter Wriston\, and congressional records\, this paper straddles the line between political economy and diplomatic history. \n  \nThe CWWG is a collaborative\, graduate student-led group designed to provide a supportive\, welcoming environment for graduate students working on or around the Cold War and international history. CWWG workshops provide an occasion for graduate students\, faculty\, and others to join together as peers to read and provide feedback on scholarly work in progress (dissertation chapters\, journal articles\, conference papers\, etc.) by members of our community. We strongly encourage other UCSB graduate students and faculty members to consider submitting their own work for discussion in future workshops.

SUMMARY:Deadly Curves: Dissection and Desire in Japan\, 1879-1930 (Paper Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our final Gender + Sexualities Paper Workshop of the Winter Quarter on Thursday\, 16 March\, at 2 PM.  \n \nWe will meet in HSSB 4041 to discuss Kandra Polantis\, “Deadly Curves: Dissection and Desire in Japan\, 1879-1930.” \nYou can find a copy of Kandra’s paper here. Please read the paper in advance and be prepared to share your observations and insights with the group. All are welcome. \nABSTRACT: \nWomen appear as phantasmagoric figures during great societal change. As scholars have noted\, figures such as the Modern Girl and the “Good wife\, wise mother” served as cultural constructs to alleviate or contain concerns about shifting gender roles in Meiji and Taishō Japan. At the same time\, stories of monstrous women that circulated during this time demonstrate the inability of these figures to contain gendered anxieties. My presentation examines a different cultural construct – namely\, the figure of the beautiful woman on the dissection table – that horrified and enchanted journalists\, novelists\, and anatomists alike. \nI follow the figure of the lovely corpse through newspaper articles that detail the “poison woman” Takahashi Oden’s execution and dissection in 1879. She also guides me through the fictional pages of Mishima Sōsen’s 1907 short story “Dissection Room” and Harumi Ryō’s 1930 horror novel Dissection of a Virgin. While the practice of dissection was coded as masculine and rational\, I argue that the idea of women cadavers both allured and confused the public. Indeed\, women’s corpses served as repositories for apprehensions about shifting scientific frameworks\, changing gender roles\, and the state’s increasing control over the body. The discourse surrounding women’s corpses on the dissection table – whether depicting them as objects of desire\, anxiety\, and/or scientific proof – demonstrates that the impact of dissection stretched far beyond the laboratory and into the public imagination. \nAll are welcome.

SUMMARY:Talk by Joshua Conrad Jackson: The History of Our Minds: Evidence for Co-Evolution of Cultural and Psychological Processes
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Joshua Conrad Jackson\, a DRRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Northwestern University and an incoming professor of Behavioral Science at the University of Chicago\, is going to deliver a talk titled “The History of Our Minds: Evidence for Co-Evolution of Cultural and Psychological Processes\,” on Thursday\, March 16\, 2023 at 4-5:30PM (PST). Please click this link to attend. Everyone is welcome!  \nBiologically modern humans are more than 200\,000 years old. Many scientists have devoted their lives to understanding how architecture\, social structure\, and language have changed over this history. Yet we know almost nothing about the history of human minds. Behavioral science research has instead focused nearly exclusively on contemporary people\, and psychological theories often draw from taxonomies that assume a culturally and historically stable structure to emotion\, personality\, morality\, and other psychological processes. In this talk\, Joshua Conrad Jackson surveys new insights into how psychological processes may have changed over human history in ways that challenge these taxonomical models. \nThis talk is part of a long-term initiative\, a Research Focus Group called “Emotions in History” organized by Professors Ya Zuo (History) and Hongbo Yu (Psychological and Brain Sciences). Led by a historian and a psychologist\, our group aims to promote interdisciplinary dialogue between psychologists and humanists and to foster genuine collaboration among scholars who study emotions from different traditions of inquiry.  \n\n\n\n
