SUMMARY:Fighting for Life: Race and the Limits of Infant Survival
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Wangui Muigai as she charts the history of one of the most enduring health disparities in America\, the racial gap in infant survival. Drawing on a trove of historical records and archival materials\, this talk follows Black families as they have journeyed from birthing rooms to burial grounds\, fighting for the ability to birth and nurture healthy babies. In charting the historical landscapes of Black infant death across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries\, Dr. Muigai will examine the role of cultural practices\, medical theories\, and communal initiatives to explain and address the causes of Black infant death. The talk considers the legacy of these ideas and efforts in ongoing struggles to preserve Black life. \nWangui Muigai is an Assistant Professor at Brandeis University in the departments of History\, African & African American Studies and the Health: Science\, Society\, and Policy Program. Dr. Muigai was named a 2022 Andrew Carnegie Fellow and selected as a Class of 2025 Fellow in the Greenwall Faculty Scholars Program in Bioethics. Her first book\, on the history of infant death in the Black experience\, is forthcoming with Harvard University Press. \nParking at the University Center: Please follow the directional signs for “Fighting for Life” from the base of campus to College Nine/John R. Lewis lot 165. Parking attendants will be on site for attendees to buy parking permits.

SUMMARY:Zac Zimmer – An Internet Built of Books
DESCRIPTION:On the Internet\, the book is a drag: a literal metaphor that pulls us back to the material world. This talk focuses on three examples of the book-object’s material drag on the supposed ephemeral nature of online existence in the digital cloud: 1) Philip Zimmermann and MIT Press’ PGP Source Code and Internals (1995)\, a printed edition of the source code that forms the basis of all email cryptography; 2) William Gibson’s self-destructing cyberpoem Agrippa (1992)\, a literary work that uses pseudo-cryptography to subvert print culture and which\, by producing an art object consumed (annihilated\, even) within its reading\, recovers a lyrical past against the drag of the future; and 3) The Wu-Tang Clan’s single-copy album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin (2015)\, which by subverting the democratic nature of art\, works against the drag of a speculative art market. The moral of each of these bookworks resides within the materiality of the object. What makes these three examples illustrative is that they all deal—in one way or another—with cryptography. In other words: the book’s secret\, which is\, in the end\, nothing other than the book’s inescapable materiality\, even in the digital era. \nZac Zimmer is Associate Professor of Literature at UCSC. His research focuses on the interdisciplinary study of literature\, culture and technology in the hemispheric Americas. In addition to his current research on the infrastructure of technosystems\, he co-facilitates the Ethics & Astrobiology reading group\, part of UCSC’s Astrobiology Initiative. His book First Contact: Speculative Visions of the Conquest of the Americas is forthcoming. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. We gather at 12:00 PM\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Dr. Wangui Muigai Reading Group – Mellon Sawyer Seminar on “Race\, Empire\, and the Environments of Biomedicine”
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Wangui Muigai will be leading a reading group exploring three distinct frameworks (theoretical\, methodological\, and analytic) for understanding the causes of racial health disparities. Two articles take us back to the 1990s wave of research on “minority health” and ethnic health disparities\, revealing how a generation of researchers in the biological\, social\, and epidemiological sciences sought to elucidate the relationship between racism and health. A more recent article places that era of research\, with its attention to the impact of stress on the internal environment of the body\, within a longer genealogy of research on race\, racism\, and health. Among other threads for discussion\, Dr. Muigai hopes we can consider the legacies of these concepts on contemporary scientific\, medical\, and popular discussions of Black health\, including the Black maternal and infant health crisis. \nDr. Wangui Muigai is an Assistant Professor at Brandeis University in the departments of History\, African & African American Studies and the Health: Science\, Society\, and Policy Program. Dr. Muigai was named a 2022 Andrew Carnegie Fellow and selected as a Class of 2025 Fellow in the Greenwall Faculty Scholars Program in Bioethics. Her first book\, on the history of infant death in the Black experience\, is forthcoming with Harvard University Press. \nThe event is part of the year long Mellon Sawyer Seminar series Race\, Empire\, and the Environments of Biomedicine.
