9/12 Thinking About Disability All Along the Way
Thinking About Disability All Along the Way
Tuesday, September 12th, 202303:30 PM - 04:30 PM UCHI Conference Room, Homer Babbidge Library
The academic field we now call critical
disability studies developed in the last
decades of the twentieth century from
sociology, medical anthropology, and
healthcare fields into a fuller disciplinary
knowledge enterprise, complete with
academic specializations, degree
programs, academic journals,
conferences, professional organizational
structures, and broad recognition as a
useful competence in employment. This
lecture traces this knowledge emergence
and some of the work it does in the
world.
The lecture will have CART captioning
and ASL interpretation. If you require
an alternative format flyer or
accommodation to participate, please
contact Carolyn Conway (AY23-24

9/20 Fellow’s Talk: “Reading Caribbean Chineseness: A Literary Migration” by Xu Peng
Fellow’s Talk: “Reading Caribbean Chineseness: A Literary Migration” by Xu Peng
Wednesday, September 20th, 202312:15 PM - 01:15 PM Homer Babbidge Library
UCHI Dissertation Scholar Xu Peng (LCL) will give a talk on “Reading Caribbean Chineseness: A Literary Migration”
with a response by David Evans.
This event will also be livestreamed.
Since the first wave of indentured Chinese laborers arrived in the Caribbean in the mid-nineteenth century amid the abolition of slavery, Chinese migrants have appeared repeatedly in Caribbean histories and literatures. While historians of the Caribbean have unearthed the Chinese presence from government decrees, census records, local newspapers and magazines, nuanced articulations of Chineseness have also been rehearsed yet remained understudied in Caribbean literature and culture. Drawing on fictional and artistic representations of Sino-Caribbean experiences, this talk proposes a framework that Peng terms “literary migration” to study Caribbean Chineseness. Attentive to the fact that the Chinese not just physically crossed national borders in the past, they have also metaphorically “migrated” into contemporary Caribbean narratives of nation-building and people-making, Peng illuminates the literary functionality of Sino-Caribbean relationality. Using Cuban writer Lourdes Casal’s 1972 short story “Los Fundadores: Alfonso” as an example, this talk demonstrates how Chineseness is narrativized and repurposed in Caribbean literature to reconsider national histories, reconstruct national identities, and envision national futures.

9/21 Geography Colloquium - Alexander Diener
Geography Colloquium - Alexander Diener
Thursday, September 21st, 202304:00 PM - 05:00 PM AUST 344
Dr. Alexander Diener
Associate Chair & Professor of Geography
Department of Geography and Atmospheric Science
University of KansasAbstract: Place attachment is a burgeoning field of scholarship maturing in theory, method, and application. The phenomenon obviously relates to concepts of residency, including key questions such as: Who moves and why? Who stays and why? Who returns and why? But place attachment also encompasses broader networks of place and geographic contingency, including questions such as: How do place attachments form? Why do people form attachments to some places and not others? How are concepts of home and homeland negotiated within and across varied conditions of mobility? In this talk, Alexander Diener approaches place attachment as an assemblage of materiality, performance, and narration. Rather than being static or deterministic, this model points to people’s varied capacities to make and remake place attachments, and how this shapes everyday routines (e.g. routes to work, shopping, social interactions), major life choices (e.g. places of residence, education, vacations), and identities (e.g. civic, national, religious).
Keywords: place attachment, territorialization, environmental psychology, homeland, place identity, place dependencyContact Information:Nat Trumbull

UCHI Fellow’s Talk: Kathryn Angelica on Black Women’s Activism and the US Sanitary Commission
Wednesday, September 27th, 202312:15 PM - 01:15 PM Homer Babbidge Library
UCHI Dissertation Scholar Kathryn Angelica (History) will be giving a talk on “Public Patriotism: The United States Sanitary Commission and Black Women’s Interregional Grassroots Activism During the Civil War”
with a response by Geoffrey Hedges-Knyrim
This event will also be livestreamed.
This talk examines how histories of the Civil War have neglected the contributions of African American women within and beyond the United States Sanitary Commission during the Civil War. Exploring African American laborers as janitors, clerks, waiters, and cooks, Black women’s contributions to the Sanitary Commission, and African American women’s independent patriotic organizations this talk considers the many ways women of color claimed their rightful place under the banner of patriotic Northern womanhood. Importantly, it also demonstrates how African American women’s organizations diverged from the centralized goals of the Sanitary Commission to encompass Black community support, aid for refugees, and medical relief for disabled soldiers.
