SUMMARY:Badash Memorial Lecture: The Materiality of the Virtual: A Global Environmental History of Computing from Babbage to Bitcoin
DESCRIPTION:Please join us January 21 at 5PM for the annual Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture. Prof. Nathan Ensmenger will be speaking about the intersection of the histories of computing and the environment.\nAbstract \nFor most Americans\, one of the defining features of the modern digital economy is the invisibility of its material infrastructure. Whereas previous technological and industrial revolutions were inextricably linked to the production of physical artifacts and the consumption of material resources — as we are all painfully aware\, cars and factories pollute\, large-scale agriculture wastes precious water resources\, and our addiction to cheap consumer goods causes landfills to overflow — information technologies appear operate largely independently of the physical environment\, and in fact enable us to transcend it. Seen from a global perspective\, however\, this is anything but the case. In this exploration of the life-cycle of a digital commodity (in this case a unit of the virtual currency Bitcoin) Ensmenger grounds the history of the electronic computer in the material world by focusing on the relationship between “computing power” and more traditional processes of resource extraction\, exchange\, management\, and consumption. \nAbout the Speaker: \nNathan Ensmenger is an associate professor in the School Of Informatics & Computing at Indiana University. His research focuses on the social and cultural history of software and software workers\, the history of artificial intelligence\, and issues of gender and identity in computer programming. His 2010 book\, The Computer Boys Take Over: Computers\, Programmers\, and the Politics of Technical Expertise\, explored the rise to power of the “computer expert” in American corporate\, economic\, and political life. He is one of the co-authors of the most recent edition of the popular Computer: A History of the Information Machine. He is currently working on a book exploring the global environmental history of the electronic digital computer. \nThis lecture series is supported by the Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture Fund \nxy ?; hm 12/20/14\, 1/20/15 link added

SUMMARY:ROUNDTABLE: Natural Capital--How Much Is the Ocean Worth?
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:Peter Alagona (History and Environmental Studies\, UCSB)\nSarah Anderson (Bren School of Environmental Science and Management\, UCSB)\nKen Hiltner (English and Environmental Studies\, UCSB; UCSB Sustainability Champion)\nSharyn Maine (Santa Barbara Foundation)\nRichard Widick (Orfalea Center for Global and International Studies\, UCSB)\nFacilitator: Elizabeth Heckendorn Cook (English and Comparative Literature\, UCSB) \nHow much is the ocean worth? Can we calculate the economic value of its contributions to human life- to the global carbon cycle; to ecotourism and recreation; to marine fisheries that feed the world? Would we use the ocean- or any other ecosystem- differently if we had to pay the actual dollar value of the functions it provides? Projects like the UN’s Millennium Ecosystem Assessment argue that establishing the value of ecosystem services allows us to materialize environmental risk and ground difficult policy debates amid twenty first-century global-scale environmental and economic crises. This pluri-disciplinary roundtable will examine how the idea of natural capital is shaping our relations to the environment. What happens when natural resources are brought into the marketplaces of the Anthropocene? What are the positive and negative effects\, at different scales\, of linking economic models to ecosystems? How will financial practices around risk and credit affect government policies on the management of natural resources? What are complements –or alternatives–to a ‘natural capital’ framework? \nSponsored by the IHC series The Anthropocene: Views from the Humanities. \nThursday\, January 22\, 2015 / 4:00 PM\nMcCune Conference Room\, 6020 HSSB\nMore Information: http://www.ihc.ucsb.edu/natural-capital/ \nhm 1/14/15
