EXHIBIT: Opening Doors: Contemporary African American Academic Surgeons
The role of African Americans as health care providers in the history of medicine is a story often overlooked. Yet, early black physicians not only became skilled practitioners, but also educators and trailblazers, paving the way for future physicians, surgeons, and nurses and opening doors to better health care for African American communities. This National Library of Medicine traveling exhibit recognizes the achievements of these pioneers by examining this long tradition and highlighting contemporary surgeons and educators who exemplify excellence in their fields.

Doing Bad to Feel Good: Dispositional Links Between Impulsive Behavior and Negative Emotions
Impulsive responding to negative emotions is a critical personality correlate of psychological disorders such as borderline personality disorder, substance use disorders, eating disorders, and internalizing disorders like anxiety and depression. In this talk, Dr. King will describe his lab’s research, which seeks to understand the links between negative emotions and impulsive behavior, and the mechanisms by which this connection raises risk for psychopathology across multiple operationalizations and timescales. This research provides important insights into for whom, when, and why negative urgency raises risk for psychopathology.
This free lecture is part of the promotion review for Dr. King in the Department of Psychology.

Psychology Colloquium with Joseph LeDoux, PhD

University Professor, Professor of Neural Science, Psychology, Psychiatry, and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, New York University
The Deep History of Ourselves: The Four-Billion-Year Story of How We Got Conscious Brains
Organisms face challenges to survival from the moment their life begins. Often research on how organisms respond to danger focuses on predatory threats. When an animal freezes or flees in the face such dangers, we say it is afraid, since when we freeze or flee we often feel afraid. Darwin’s adoption of this common sense approach still influences the way scientific explorations of defensive behavior are interpreted. But if we trace the deep history of threat processing we get a different perspective, one that gets to the actual meaning of the title of this talk. The first cells living billions of years ago had to identify and respond to danger in order to survive—as soon as there was life, there was danger. From this perspective, behavior does not require a nervous…

A Modern Retelling of One of the Most Famous Stories in Japanese Samurai Lore
Performed in Japanese by Ms. Kima HOTTA with English subtitles
Based on the novel Ninjō: Ataka no seki by Mr. Hiroaki TODA
The brilliant general Minamoto no Yoshitsune distinguished himself in battle as a masterly strategist during Japan’s longest civil war, the struggle between the Minamoto and Taira clans that lasted from 1180-85.
Not long after Yoshitsune destroyed the Taira at Dan-no-ura, he was suspected by his elder half-brother and commander-in-chief Yoritomo of disloyalty, and fled the capital, Kyoto.
Among his trusted retainers was the formidable Benkei, a warrior and Buddhist monk renowned for his fearlessness, resourcefulness, and steadfast loyalty. Disguised as traveling ascetics raising funds to…

The Hippocampus Remembers Eventful “Everything”
Our life is organized across space and time because we regularly interact with people and objects at various locations across different times. The details from those events are remembered as episodic memories, and our current understanding is that the hippocampus is essential for episodic memory. Although recent findings of important functional cell types such as ‘grid cells’ and ‘time cells’ in the hippocampus and its associated cortical regions have advanced our understanding of the neural mechanisms of hippocampal functions, it is still largely unknown how these different classes of neurons harmoniously work together to represent various details of experience, and more importantly to use the information for decision making. Among various types of information the hippocampal system cares for episodic behavior, our laboratory investigates how…

“Electrical Palestine: Zionist and Arab Technopolitics Under the British Mandate”
Lecture by Dr. Fredrik Meiton, Assistant Professor of History at University of New Hampshire
At the dawn of the Arab-Israeli conflict, both political power and electrical power were circulated through the electric grid that was built by the Zionist engineer Pinhas Rutenberg during the period of British rule from 1917 to 1948. This talk about the history and politics of electricity in Mandate Palestine and Israel charts a story of rapid and uneven Zionist and Palestinian development that was greatly influenced by the electric grid.
Professor Meiton is a historian of the modern Middle East. He studies the intersection of politics, science and the environment, especially in the context of colonial development. He teaches courses in global and Middle Eastern history, often with a focus on science, technology, energy and the environment.

Crisis and Development at the Margins of the Qing Empire: Imperial Finances and Natural Resources in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Xinjiang
This presentation explores patterns of natural resource development in Xinjiang during a period of deep financial distress for the Qing state in the 1850s. Conventional histories of this period suggest that imperial officials dealt with major shortfalls in government revenues by adopting a range of fiscal measures, including the imposition of new taxes. This presentation shows that, in the empire’s western borderland, officials sought to solve financial deficits by accelerating the exploitation of land and mineral resources. By examining this period through the lens of environmental history, the presentation offers a new interpretation of the relationship between political crisis in China and colonial projects in Xinjiang.
Peter Lavelle is an assistant professor of history at Temple University, where he teaches courses in Chinese and environmental history. He is the author of The Profits of Nature: Colonial Development and the Quest for Resources in Nineteenth-Century China (Columbia University Press,…

Values at the End of Life: The Logic of Palliative Care
Abstract: Over the past forty years, “the end of life” has become the center of extensive economic, policy, ethical, and medical discussions. Health economists measure and evaluate its cost; ethicists debate the morality of various approaches to “end-of-life care”; policymakers ponder alternative “end of life”-related policies; and clinicians apply a specialized approach (hospice and palliative care) to treat patients whom they diagnose as being at “the end of life.” This talk analyzes the proliferation of conversations on “the end of life” as emblematic of a peculiar moment in human history. Ours is a period where modern growth stagnates and the main challenge developed societies face becomes delineating the limits of human agency and governing populations within these limits. Drawing on a combination of historical and ethnographic analysis of the work of palliative care clinicians in three California hospitals, I analyze how the limits of what can be done, medically and financially, to prolong life are comm…

Measures of implicit cognitive processes have emerged as reliable predictors of problematic drinking, even after controlling for established, validated self-report measures. However, consideration of implicit cognitions about the self in relation to drinking and alcohol (i.e. drinking identity) has been overlooked. Given the importance of the self in self-regulation, motivation and behavior, this gap is problematic.
Kristen Lindgren, PhD, will highlight her work on implicit cognition and identity establishing drinking identity as a novel, robust, risk factor for hazardous drinking. She will discuss the theoretical and clinical implications of her work and provide a brief overview of a recently launched clinical trial that seeks to modify drinking identity.
Dr. Lindgren is a clinical psychologist whose research lies at the intersection of cognitive science and psychopathology, especially in the domains of hazardous drinking and post traumatic stress disorder. Her primary areas of expertise include…

Abstract: Scholars and political observers point to declining labor unions on the one hand, and rising white identity politics, on the other, as profound changes in American politics. However, there has been little attention to the potential feedback between these forces. In this article, we investigate the role of union membership in shaping white racial attitudes. We draw upon research in history and American political development to generate a theory of interracial labor politics, in which union membership reduces racial resentment. Cross-sectional analyses consistently show that white union members have lower racial resentment and greater support for policies that benefit African Americans. More importantly, our panel analysis suggests that gaining union membership between 2012 and 2016 reduced racial resentment among white workers. The findings highlight the important role of labor unions in mass politics, and, more broadly, the importance of organizational membership for political attitudes and behavior…

In this talk Prof. Jun Hu will try to unpick a seeming paradox in seventeenth-century Chinese painting: just when artistic practice and theory became increasingly inseparable from an engagement with the past, that past, it would seem, also became unrecoverable, at least not on its own terms. While painters showed great confidence in knowing what the styles of old masters looked like, as exemplified by the popularity of modal albums in this period, the same painters would probably agree that old paintings were now few and far between. Various technologies of indexical transmission—woodblock printing, rubbing, seal-carving—emerged as powerful and at times poignant metaphors that embody this paradox, offering patently reliable mechanisms of replication that guarantee the possibility of a history of visually verifiable styles on the one hand, and disclosing the truth itself, on the other, that this past is now available mostly through mediation, printed or otherwise. Contemporaneous writings on these technologie…

Talk Title: Gathering at the Shoreline: Redefining Justice through Coastal Practice.
Sarah Hunt (Tłaliłila’ogwa) is an assistant professor in the Institute for Critical Indigenous Studies and the Department of Geography at the University of British Columbia. As an interdisciplinary scholar, Sarah’s research is concerned with questions of justice, violence, gender and self-determination, as well as Indigenous methodologies, land/water-based praxis and the spatial nature of Indigenous and decolonial knowledges.

Five physicists turn into slammers for one night as they compete with each other to bring you the clearest and most entertaining explanation of a topic in physics. Each has only 10 minutes to wow you with secrets and subtleties of nature that took them their entire careers to discover. That's it - 10 minutes. No fuss, no intellectual fog, and absolutely no unexplained jargon. Instead, you get good old-fashioned entertainment and a solid foundation in physical science, or the slammers haven't done their jobs. The participants will be the judges to determine which slammer will go home with the top prize.

A compelling and robust body of research suggests that modifiable risk factor reduction could substantially impact brain health. The evidence is strongest for cardiovascular risk factors as well as lifestyle risk factors including both physical and cognitive activity while promising data is also emerging for sleep disorders and traumatic brain injury. Cumulatively, the data supports modifiable risk factor reduction at the population-based level, with increasing evidence for multi-domain interventions. Dr. Yaffe will discuss the latest findings and public health implications of these strategies.
Dr. Kristine Yaffe is the Scola Endowed Chair and Vice Chair, Professor of Psychiatry, Neurology, and Epidemiology, and Director of the Center for Population Brain Health at the University of California, San Francisco. In her research, clinical work, and mentoring, she has directed her efforts towards improving the care of patients with cognitive disorders and other geriatric neuropsychiatric conditions.

'Cross-cultural and Cross-linguistic Perspectives on Narrative Discourse' with Masahiko Minami, San Francisco State University
Culture-specific patterns of communication play a pivotal role in individuals’ understanding of how to interact with those around them. It is well known that the Japanese communication style is intuitive and indirect, and that interpersonal communication often relies on intuition, empathy, and feeling. This lecture focuses on narrative discourse, a linguistic meeting ground of culture, cognition, and emotions, specifically examining various issues such as genre, topic, and oral vs. written narratives. The lecture demonstrates the importance of paying attention not only to narrative content/structure but also to the appropriate use of linguistic devices. Accordingly, the overall goal of this lecture is to grasp culture- and language-specific ways of expressing affective elements in narrative discourse.
Masahiko Minami is Professor at San Francisco State University. He also served as an Invited Professor at the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics (2012–2016), where he edited the Handbook…

We are delighted to celebrate the publication of the new book by Associate Professor Arbella Bet-Shlimon, City of Black Gold: Oil, Ethnicity, and the Marking of Modern Kirkuk.
Kirkuk is Iraq's most multilingual city, for millennia home to a diverse population. It was also where, in 1927, a foreign company first struck oil in Iraq. Over the following decades, Kirkuk became the heart of Iraq's booming petroleum industry. City of Black Gold tells a story of oil, urbanization, and colonialism in Kirkuk—and how these factors shaped the identities of Kirkuk's citizens, forming the foundation of an ethnic conflict.
Arbella Bet-Shlimon reconstructs the twentieth-century history of Kirkuk to question the assumptions about the past underpinning today's ethnic divisions. In the early 1920s, when the Iraqi state was formed under British administration, group identities in Kirkuk were fluid. But as the oil industry fostered colonial power and Baghdad's influence over Kirkuk, intercommunal violence and competing…

Talk Title: Sustainable Use, Biodiversity and Climate Change – What is Success when the Goalposts Keep Moving?
Keeping uses of natural resources sustainable has not been simple, especially in the ocean where governance has always been more complex than on land. United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea in 1978 delineated responsibilities for how the ocean is to be used, whereas the Rio Conventions in 1992, including the Convention on Biological Diversity, focused on responsibilities for how the planet, including the ocean, should be conserved. With different agreements and different perspectives, the relevant interests of government agencies, industries, citizen groups etc. naturally gravitated to different pathways for policy, science and management. Sectoral users aligned with United Nations agencies developing frameworks maximizing their sustainable uses of the ocean, whereas conservation biologists gravitated to agencies developing frameworks sufficiently precautionary to ensure biodiversity…

Presenter: Matthew Ellis, Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Chair in International Affairs and Middle East Studies at Sarah Lawrence College. He is a historian specializing in the social, intellectual, and cultural history of the modern Middle East and North Africa.
In this talk—based on his recent book, Desert Borderland: The Making of Modern Egypt and Libya (Stanford, 2018)—Matthew Ellis adopts a different approach to national territoriality, arguing that Egypt and Libya emerged steadily as modern territorial nation-states in the decades before World War I despite the lack of official maps defining their borders. By reconstructing the multiple layers and meanings of territoriality in this desert borderland, Ellis suggests that national territoriality was not simply imposed on Egypt’s western—or Ottoman Libya’s eastern—domains by centralizing state power, but rather emerged only through a complex and multilayered process of negotiation with a range of local actors motivated by their own conceptions…

Philip Thai is assistant professor in the department of history at Northeastern University. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University, and he specializes in modern Chinese, East Asian, legal, economic, and diplomatic history. His book China’s War on Smuggling: Law, Economic Life, and the Making of the Modern State, 1842–1965 was published by Columbia University Press in 2018, and his interdisciplinary research has been supported by many organizations including the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC). He is currently at work on a new project exploring the many informal connections and underground economies across “Greater China” during the Cold War.
Coastal smuggling has been a thorny problem for successive governments in modern China. But while smuggling might have operated on the margins of the law, it was far from marginal in driving important historical changes. Introducing his new book, Philip Thai explores how campaigns against smuggling tra…

Neoliberalism and the (Dis)integration of the Political
This panel is the keynote session of a conference on neoliberalism that asks whether ours is a moment of unprecedented political consolidation, in which capital has fully subsumed and subordinated the state, or rather a juncture where the crisis-prone nature of capitalism is most fully on display. If the state is reduced to just another site of accumulation (an indemnifier of financial institutions and other market actors), what becomes of the enterprise of governance and the work of securing the forms and institutions of social reproduction? Does the decomposition of the social body so palpably occurring in the U.S. and elsewhere across the globe – the defacto state of domestic antagonism verging on simmering civil war – signal that capitalism has finally cannibalized its own social and political life support system? And what do our answers to these and allied questions suggest about the practices and imaginaries of opposition?

QRC 50th Anniversary Speaker Series | Sue Kidwell
Talk Title: Our new understanding of dead-shell assemblages: A powerful tool for deciphering human impacts, One of the big challenges in environmental management and conservation biology is discovering ‘what was natural’ before human impacts. This problem is especially pressing in marine systems, where direct monitoring of conditions is usually short relative to the span of cultural stressors or is lacking for key variables. Geological analysis of molluscan death assemblages – the dead shells sieved from the top 10-15cm of the seabed during biological surveys – is demonstrating that they are a powerful means of detecting, in the absence of direct observations, benthic response to a wide array of human stressors, such as anthropogenic eutrophication, bottom trawling, and dredge-spoil dumping. The densely monitored coast of urban southern California provides a wonderful study area for testing the limits of this approach. Even here, “live-dead comparison” and “age-unmixing” of skeletal debris has revealed a…

TITLE
Painting's Dreams at the End of the World: America, Ancient Grotesques, and Artistic Invention c. 1500
DESCRIPTION
Art, the artist, and the imagination attained unprecedented significance around 1500 in a Europe upended by cultural transformation, religious reform, and millenarian expectations. These years also witnessed Europe's decisive encounter with the Americas. Art history has perceived little overlap between this epochal event and the fascination with Greco-Roman antiquity that drove much period artistic experimentation. Yet, in imaginative sketches by Albrecht Dürer, revolutionary religious frescoes by Luca Signorelli, and a flight of butterflies from a singular mythological painting, we can recover a lost history in which antiquity and the "new world" intertwined to inspire a culture in search of self-renewal.

QRC 50th Anniversary Speaker Series | Katerina Douka
Talk Title: How recent developments in chronometric (radiocarbon) dating have transformed the study of late human evolution
Human fossils discovered in the past decade, as well as sequencing of ancient genomes, have transformed our knowledge of important evolutionary processes surrounding members of Homo sp. including the complex relationships amongst archaic (Neanderthals, Denisovans) and early modern human groups that lived in Eurasia over the last 200,000 years. Yet the significance of these findings is often muddled by the lack of reliable chronologies regarding to when (and where) hominin groups met and interacted.
In this talk, I will describe our efforts to develop and apply new tools for constructing reliable chronologies for the Late Pleistocene, focusing on radiocarbon dating and Bayesian statistical modeling. Such tools were applied in defining the timing of Neanderthal extinction in Europe (Higham, Douka et al. 2014; Nature), as well as the age of the Denisovans in Siberia (Douka et al. 201…

Please RSVP here.
The humanities and sciences often appear to fall on separate sides of an academic culture divide. At a moment when many universities are becoming increasingly STEM-focused, the study of literature is both challenging and necessary, and translation offers a way of bridging disciplines by emphasizing language and interpretation. At the undergraduate level, translation courses offer an opportunity for student collaboration, experimentation with language, and a discussion of disciplinary differences in language. Amelia Glaser, who has developed translation curricula for a variety of contexts and levels, from K-12 to graduate study, will share methods and observations from her experience developing a large lower division translation course for undergraduates at U.C. San Diego.
Light snacks will be provided, feel free to bring your lunch. Please RSVP here.

Advances in Higher Education Research Seminar: "Teaching Integrity in Empirical Research..." with Richard Ball
Teaching Integrity in Empirical Research: The Pedagogy of Reproducible Science in Undergraduate Education and Beyond
With Richard Ball, professor, Department of Economics, Haverford College
Many journals now require authors to submit extensive public-facing documentation to support empirical papers. In this talk, Professor Richard Ball discusses teaching research transparency to students in quantitative fields of study. Project TIER (Teaching Integrity in Empirical Research) integrates transparent and reproducible research methods into instruction by developing standard protocols for conducting and documenting statistical research. Enacting these protocols ensures that all reported results are computationally reproducible, and that the methods employed are immediately legible to other researchers.
Professor Ball gives an overview of the approaches to research reproducibility that Project TIER promotes, discusses the resulting educational benefits, and considers lessons for professional research…
