SUMMARY:California Eugenics Legacies Symposium\, June 4-5\, 2021
DESCRIPTION:Darnovsky_reproductive genetic technologies_June2021“Eugenics in California & the World: Race\, Class\, Gender/Sexuality\, & Disability”\nA Virtual Symposium\, Friday & Saturday\, June 4-5\, 2021\nASL & Live Captioning\nYouTube Links:\n DAY ONE & DAY TWO\n \nTranscripts\nDay One Plenary & Sessions 1 and 2 \nDay Two Sessions 3 & 4 \nDay Two Session 5 \nDay Two Closing\nPanel V: Reproductive Genetic Technologies\, Darnovsky Comments \n  \nThis symposium is part of ongoing national and international conversations on the influence of eugenics beliefs and practices across a multitude of private and public institutions\, spaces\, and places.* Focusing specifically on the legacies of eugenics in California\, this event brings together a diverse group of scholars\, educators\, students\, activists\, and community members to engage in dialogue exploring how state institutions of higher learning\, health care\, and government promoted\, sustained\, and mainstreamed eugenics via educational\, medical\, and public contexts. \nExtending over two days\, the gathering–Final Schedule June 4 2021–will open with a keynote panel focusing generally on history\, memory\, and reparations: how do we come to terms with the violence of eugenics carried out in and on communities across California?  The next session will present new research on the ways in which eugenics shaped the work of researchers\, professors\, and doctors in various state institutions\, including the University of California. Then we will turn our attention to the findings of the Sterilization and Social Justice Lab at the University of Michigan\, learning about the massive digitization project and analysis of more than 20\,000 sterilization records in California. The following session will explore continuing struggles to excise eugenics-based beliefs\, confronting ableism\, anti-Blackness\, settler colonialism and racism in medicine\, science\, and child welfare systems. Next\, activists working in law\, prisons\, disability justice\, and reproductive justice will update us on their ongoing fights for reparations and against eugenic ideology and practice. Finally\, we will hear from activists-researchers-scholars about new modes and discourses of eugenics in developments of reproductive technology and biotechnology\, many of them emerging out of California. (Participant biographies below.) \n*The panel is part of ‘From Small Beginnings…: Addressing the continuing shadows of eugenics’ series of events across the world leading up to marking 100 years since the Second International Eugenics Congress held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York (September 22nd-28th\, 1921). The series offers an opportunity to focus on how eugenics has been used and misused over the past century but still more importantly to critically assess how the intellectual inertia of eugenic habits of mind continue to globally influence political\, social and medical ideas\, in addition to practices and policies.

DESCRIPTION:The UCSB Africa Center cordially invites you to a special guest lecture on June 4 by Dr. Zoé Samudzi on indigenous demands for restitution\, long-contested histories of colonial dispossession and property ownership in the aftermath of the German genocide of the Herero and Nama peoples in Namibia. Her talk will interrogate the trajectories of colonial ideology and practice from the scientific racism-inflected racial geographies and regimes of property ownership during German colonization and the still shrouded story of post-colonial western institutions’ imperial skull-collecting and refusal to adequately acknowledge the genocide.\n \nFor a copy of Dr. Samudzi’s paper\, please email Claudia Ankrah (c_ankrah@ucsb.edu) or Dr. Mhoze Chikowero (chikowero@history.ucsb.edu). \n \nDr. Samudzi  is a highly accomplished author and scholar. Her research interests include German colonialism\, the Herero and Nama genocide and its afterlife\, and the role of colonnial science in the production of indigenous/Black/African identity. She has published for a variety of critical publications\, including Africa is Not a Country\, New Life Quarterly and a monograph As Black as Resistance: Finding the Conditions for Liberation. She earned her Ph.D. from UC San Francisco. \n \nZoom URL: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/84107544681

SUMMARY:International Webinar on Global Capitalism\, Colonial Politics and Publicity: The Past and Present of Tea in South Asia
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an interdisciplinary webinar on the past and present of tea in South Asia. The history of tea is both fascinating yet one fraught with tensions inherent in the history of global capitalism. The attraction of a cup of tea seeped only gradually into the lives of the common people and involved much effort and investment on the part of various Tea Associations\, companies and committees. Colonial politics\, we contend\, was always at the center of the South Asian tea industry\, its propaganda\, publicity\, and labor struggles. This webinar brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines and contemporary activists in order to address how tea was and is commodified and how South Asians were constructed as consumers and workers.  \nRegistration Link: https://forms.gle/wqVHkFdk1xzqmKDn7\nYouTube Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTx895TOvpL_DxjEmPKAc5Q
