So-called nanotechnician curricula proliferate at two-year institutions and their enrollments climb steadily. Yet industrial forecasters and even some instructors see few jobs of this kind on the horizon. This is\, in essence\, a case of new technological knowledge reproducing old social patterns that have historically brought disadvantage to those groups of Americans most dependent on sub-baccalaureate education. The newness of nano as a field–one touted as both scientific and economic innovation–disguises long standing class\, race and gender-derived inequities in technical education and labor.\nDr. Amy E. Slaton is a professor of history at Drexel University. She holds a PhD in the History and Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania. Her most recent book\, Race\, Rigor and Selectivity in U.S. Engineering: The History of an Occupational Color Line (Harvard University Press\, 2010)\, follows racial ideologies in engineering higher education since the 1940s. She is currently writing on the challenges facing two-year colleges seeking to prepare high-tech workforces as automation\, outsourcing\, and other impediments to industrial employment gain momentum in American manufacturing. Prof. Slaton produces the blog\, STEMequity.com\, centered on equity in technical education and workforce issues. \nhm 2/19/13 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/new-promise-old-premise-workforce-education-and-opportunity-in-american-nanomanufacturing/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130221T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130221T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T063337 CREATED:20150928T112845Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112845Z UID:10002128-1361404800-1361404800@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:When Janey Comes Marching Home: Portraits of Women Combat Veterans DESCRIPTION:To date\, more than 280\,000 women have served in Iraq\, Afghanistan and surrounding regions. Their jobs include working as convoy gunners\, searching homes\, and conducting IED sweeps. On February 21\, Laura Browder will discuss her book and exhibit (with photographs by Sascha Pflaeging) When Janey Comes Marching Home\, which gives a presence and a voice to American women returning from service in a war zone. Watching and listening to these women will unsettle our fixed ideas about Americans at war and add dimension to the often flawed or fragmentary pop culture depictions of women in the military: as novelties\, but not as real soldiers. It will also undermine stereotypes and preconceptions about women in war. These stories tell us things we never knew about the experiences of women in combat: not just what it’s like to be under fire\, but also how women deployed to Iraq cope with motherhood\, marriage\, duty\, and sexism. We hope that by seeing the faces of women who have deployed\, and hearing their stories\, we can begin to get a sense of all the ways women are experiencing this long war.\nSponsored by the IHC series Fallout: In the Aftermath of War. \nhm 2/14/13 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/when-janey-comes-marching-home-portraits-of-women-combat-veterans/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130222T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130222T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T063337 CREATED:20150928T112845Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112845Z UID:10002126-1361491200-1361491200@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Ontologies of Aerial Observation: Panoramic Reconnaissance and the Pre-History of Air War DESCRIPTION:Before the advent of aviation\, industrializing nations sought to produce increasingly accurate surveys of territorial possessions\, drawing on new technologies and sciences to interpret and reproduce sights and images. Kaplan will argue that most analysis of the imagery of air power?reconnaissance analog and digital photography?situates this kind of visual data as universalized panopticism; total\, rational\, and complete. According to this approach\, reconnaissance imagery can reveal meanings which are always already there waiting to be read. Yet\, instances of aerial or elevated viewing before the invention of the airplane suggest a more ontological approach to perception; one that requires habits of observation over time to assemble things like “views.” The strange perspective of vertical views from balloons\, the dizzying “pirouette” of the oblique panorama\, and the triangulated precision of the ordnance survey?these diverse instances demonstrate the uneven nature of representations of terrain that required the development of new habits of visual expertise. In the effort to make sense\, to make “something\,” out of numerous sights\, sounds\, and sensations\, aerial observation offered neither rational panopticism nor irrational multiplicity. Instead\, these technologies of vision and representation were “put together” by viewers who sought to repeat the experiences of aerial and elevated observation for pleasure\, knowledge\, and also\, for war.\nCaren Kaplan is Professor of American Studies and affiliated faculty in Cultural Studies\, Science & Technology Studies\, and Cinema & Technocultural Studies at the University of California at Davis. She is the author of Questions of Travel: Postmodern Discourses of Displacement (Duke\, 1996) and the co-author and co-editor of Introduction to Women’s Studies: Gender in a Transnational World (McGraw-Hill 2001/2005)\, Between Woman and Nation: Transnational Feminisms and the State (Duke 1999)\, and Scattered Hegemonies: Postmodernity and Transnational Feminist Practices (Minnesota 1994) as well as two digital multi-media scholarly works\, Dead Reckoning and Precision Targets. Her current research focuses on aerial views and militarized visual culture. \nhm 2/14/13 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/ontologies-of-aerial-observation-panoramic-reconnaissance-and-the-pre-history-of-air-war/ LOCATION:CA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20130222T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130222T000000 DTSTAMP:20260508T063337 CREATED:20150928T112845Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T112845Z UID:10002130-1361491200-1361491200@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Graduate Symposium on the Cold War DESCRIPTION:FRIDAY\, FEBRUARY 22HSSB 4020 \n9:00-10:00 AM–Meet-and-Greet Breakfast \n9:45-10:00 AM–Welcome and Introduction\nSalim Yaqub and Ken Hough \nSession 1 10:00-11:45 \nEric Fenrich\, UCSB\, Department of History\n“Nine Black Kids and a Silver Ball: Little Rock\, Sputnik\, and the American International Image”\nComment: Cody Stephens\, UCSB\, Department of History\nAudience Q & A \nHenry Maar\, UCSB\, Department of History\n“‘Three Megatons of ‘Peace'”: The MX Missile Controversy and the Meaning of Survival in the Atomic Age”\nComment: Jason Saltoun-Ebin\, UCSB\, Department of History\nAudience Q & A \nJason Saltoun-Ebin\, UCSB\, Department of History\n“Ronald Reagan\, Mikhail Gorbachev\, and the End of the Cold War”\nComment: Henry Maar\, UCSB\, Department of History\nAudience Q & A \n12:00-12:45–Lunch \n12:45-1:30–Keynote Address by Dimitri Akulov\, University of California\, Santa Barbara\n“Managing Allies and Adversaries at a Time of War: Soviet Foreign Policy During the Early Years of World War II” \n1:30-1:45 Audience Q & A \nSession 2 1:45-3:30 \nKristen Shedd\, UCSB\, Department of History\n“Tempest in a Teacup: Warping the Church-State Divide”\nComment: Kristy Slominski\, UCSB\, Department of Religious Studies\nAudience Q & A \nCody Stephens\, UCSB\, Department of History\n“The Liberal Origins of Dependency Theory.”\nComment: Chiting Peng\, UCSB\, Department of History\nAudience Q & A \nSteve Hu\, UCSB\, Department of Religious Studies\n“Words at War: the Far East Broadcasting Company and the\nEvangelicals’ War Against Communism”\nComment: Eric Fenrich\, UCSB\, Department of History\nAudience Q & A \n5:00 pm–Cold War Mixer at Storke Family Housing Community Center\nNote: the event ends with our annual CCWS mixer. \nAlthough the symposium is primarily intended for graduate students\, we invite faculty\, undergraduates\, and community members to attend as well.
