SUMMARY:Elizabeth Buettner\, "Postcolonial Migration Meets European Integration: Britain in Comparative Perspective"
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Buettner\, Professor of Modern History at the University of Amsterdam\, will present her paper “Postcolonial Migration Meets European Integration: Britain in Comparative Perspective” on Tuesday\, October 22 at 4:00 in HSSB 4020. \nHow exceptional has Britain’s history of inward migration after 1945 been compared to that of other Western European countries? Like other former imperial powers\, Britain became home to many peoples from its former colonies and Commonwealth\, many of whom were not of European descent; moreover\, like many of its continental neighbors Britain too attracted migrants from other European countries. How did common responses to newcomers from outside Europe resemble or differ from attitudes towards foreign Europeans\, particularly those from within the European Economic Community/European Union? This paper will sketch out general issues and discuss changes over time\, not least by comparing earlier decades to developments occurring after EU’s eastward enlargement since 2004 that have culminated in Brexit. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Rosemarie Zagarri on "The Murky Past and Contested Future of the Electoral College"
DESCRIPTION:On October 24 at 4:00pm in HSSB 4080\, Professor Rosemarie Zagarri of George Mason University will present a talk titled “The Murky Past and Contested Future of the Electoral College.” The event is free and open to the public. \nThis talk will examine the roots of the American system for electing its president and explore the possibility–as well as the feasibility–of changing the existing system. The origins of the Electoral College lay in a series of tumultuous conflicts at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. At stake was not only what the presidency should entail but how the new chief executive should be elected. Memories of George III’s abuses of power haunted delegates. Fears of mob rule competed with anxieties over lodging too much power in the hands of a single individual. Representatives jealously guarded their own states’ prerogatives. The solution–the Electoral College–was a jerry-built compromise that satisfied no one completely. \nAlmost as soon as it went into operation\, the flaws and defects of the Electoral College became evident. The emergence of a two-party political system intensified its structural weaknesses. Yet the system has endured. The question facing Americans today is: What can be done to remedy the inadequacies of the Electoral College? \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Building a Green New Deal: Community\, Coalition\, Organizing for Environmental Justice: A Public Forum
DESCRIPTION:In communities\, classrooms\, and protest sites across the country\, people have embraced the call for a Green New Deal as a way of recognizing that climate change presents us with an unprecedented historic challenge—and the need for comprehensive and transformational reform. California’s Central Coast has a powerful tradition of grassroots activism to draw on in rising to the challenge\, from the wide-ranging environmental movement sparked by the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill to the multi-racial labor\, immigrant and indigenous people’s rights organizations leading the struggle for economic justice region-wide. Together\, these and allied organizations have formed the Central Coast Climate Justice Network\, a regional coalition dedicated to developing a collective vision and coalitional strategy for achieving holistic and intersectional environmental justice in our region. Featuring presentations from Network member organizations\, the aim of the forum is to launch a broad\, publicly engaged conversation about the need for transformational thought and action in response to the challenges of climate change\, and in the interest of a more equitable and resilient environmental future. \nCo-sponsored by: The Blum Center on Poverty\, Inequality\, and Democracy\, Environmental Studies Program\, Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, the Fund for Santa Barbara\, and the Central Coast Climate Justice Network
