Events

Day 1:

Since February the US has been at war with the Islamic Republic of Iran, yet Americans know little about that country. This interdisciplinary conference hopes to demystify Iran by examining two central questions: How has the Islamic Republic gotten to where it is now--a regime facing significant domestic challenges while simultaneously exercising substantial influence abroad? And, what might the future hold for Iran, the broader Middle East, and the US in the coming years? By more deeply looking into Iran with the goal of placing recent events within their respective historical, social, and comparative contexts, we hope to offer a better understanding of the current situation and its future prospects.

The conference is open and free to the public.

This event is part of International Education Month (IEM) programming. View the full calendar of IEM events here: https://international.uoregon.edu/IEM.

Join the University of Oregon for the HSI Symposium: Building a Latinx-Thriving University. This two-day gathering brings campus and community together to explore how UO can strengthen support, deepen belonging, and expand opportunities for current and prospective Latiné students.

Environmental concerns—from nature conservation to air and water quality—are often associated with progressive politics. But under Fascisms past and present, ecological ideas have also animated authoritarian projects. This speaker series examines how dictatorships mobilize nature as both metaphor and material resource. As a metaphor, agrarianism evokes Fascism’s foundational mythos: the dictator will restore the country’s glorious national past. To live a rural, old-fashioned lifestyle was to be a more patriotic citizen. “Italy must be ruralized!” proclaimed Benito Mussolini in 1927. As a material resource, nature is often put to use in service of eugenics and racial hygiene.

Our speakers will examine the professional biographies of the scientists, industrialists, and entrepreneurs hired by Fascist regimes to determine the limits of biological possibility. Case studies from empire and the colonies will investigate the Fascist programs for experimental plant nurseries, animal breeding, and chemical trials. Rather than treating eco-fascism as a contradiction in terms, our speakers will situate it within longer histories of environmental planning, population management, and technocratic governance. They will explain how dictatorships use the tools of authoritarian governance to modify the environment in their pursuit of more Fascist futures.

Please join us for these illuminating discussions.

Talk details:

Blood and Soil: Race, Gender and Food in Nazi Ideology

Speaker: Prof. Alice Weinreb, Loyola University

This talk will explore the ways in which Hitler’s ‘blood and soil’ ideology raced and gendered the natural environment. According to Nazi ideology, ‘natural’ food was necessary for the maintenance of a pure and healthy Volk. Food thus was a way of constructing (and potentially of threatening) gender and racial identities. Weinreb’s talk will explore the ways in which nature was transformed into something to be consumed, which in turn naturalized Aryan supremacy and radical gender hierarchies. In Nazi Germany, racial and gender identity was performed through daily acts of food production (farming and cooking) and food consumption (shopping and eating). The talk also discusses the ramifications of linking the protection of the environment with the protection of racism and misogyny, discussing connections to contemporary far-right discourses linking environmental contamination, impure food, and racial and gender hierarchies.

The Oregon Humanities Center hosts weekly Work-in-Progress Talks to showcase the humanities research of its many fellows. This week, Naomi Sussman presents her research on "Peoples of the Heartland: Native Nations, Sovereign Acts, and the Making of California."

Sussman's research maps how small Indigenous polities in California used relationships with human neighbors and the natural world to enact their sovereignty between 1769 and 1930. Indigenous peoples’ sovereign acts made the California interior into a Native heartland that survived and shaped four waves of Native and Euro-American invasion: first a Native confederacy on the Colorado River and the Spanish Empire, then Mexico and United States. Their story is an epic of Native power and adaptiveness in the face of enslavement and genocide. 

Join us for this Work-in-Progress Talk in the OHC Conference Room (Prince Lucien Campbell Hall 159) at noon on Fridays. These events are free and open to the public. Please register for this event online at ohc.uoregon.edu.

Talk details:

Fascist Climates: Tracking Weather in the Italian Colonial Empire (1929-1939)

Speaker: Prof. Angelo Caglioti, Barnard College 

With the onset of the Great Depression, the 1930s were a time of deep socio-economic crisis, environmental concerns about the scarcity of natural resources, and international competition with the rise of the “air age.” When Mussolini’s invasion and colonization of Ethiopia triggered international sanctions by the League of Nations and drained state coffers, the fascist regime ordered that the Italian scientific community contribute to achieving Autarky, namely national self-sufficiency, by cutting costs, aligning their activities with national priorities, and avoiding the duplication of areas of influence.

This paper examines the radicalization of the fascist regime and the transformation of the climate and atmospheric sciences in interwar Italy in the name of Autarky. In this political climate of scarcity and austerity, scientists working across agricultural and colonial meteorology, aeronautical weather forecasting, hydrology, and medical climatology competed to defend their scientific interests and institutions by claiming that their activities were more autarkic than others. In the paper, Caglioti highlights how autarky, scarcity, and political conformism became crucial tools in scientific boundary-making as competition for resources required defining the jurisdiction and areas of expertise of different research institutes, ministries, and technical state departments. In conclusion, the paper argues that claims about scarcity were central to the making of a fascist, authoritarian, Anthropocene.

Muslim philanthropy represents an important yet understudied dimension of charitable giving in the United States. This talk examines the landscape of Muslim philanthropy through an academic review of giving patterns, exploring how religious beliefs, cultural traditions, and institutional contexts shape Muslim charitable practices. It considers the role of Islamic philanthropic traditions, including zakat (obligatory almsgiving), sadaqah (voluntary charity), and waqf (endowment), alongside contemporary forms of charitable engagement through mosques, Muslim-led nonprofits, and broader philanthropic institutions. By synthesizing existing scholarship, the talk identifies key findings of new research, emerging trends, and gaps in the literature on Muslim American giving. It also considers the implications of these patterns for understanding religious philanthropy, strengthening nonprofit practice, and advancing a more inclusive and comprehensive study of philanthropy in the United States.

The Oregon Humanities Center hosts weekly Work-in-Progress Talks to showcase the humanities research of its many fellows. This week, Jasmine An presents her research on "Paperwork Politics: Literary Responses to Empire from the Southeast Asian Diaspora."

What happens when poets write on archival documents instead of the blank page? An's project seeks to answer that question by examining the work of contemporary, Southeast Asian American poets who incorporate paperwork such as immigration documents, birth certificate applications, and declassified military memos into their poetry. Through their shared practice of "paperwork poetics," they manipulate the power of documents to critique the violence of US imperialism in Southeast Asia and its lingering echoes across the Southeast Asian American diasporas.

Join the Creative Writing program for a fiction reading by Michael Copperman.

Copperman’s work has appeared in The Oxford-American, Guernica, The Sun, Creative Nonfiction, Boston Review, Salon, Gulf Coast, Triquarterly, Kenyon Review and Copper Nickel, among others. His memoir Teacher: Two Years in the Mississippi Delta (University Press of Mississippi 2017) was a finalist for the 2018 Oregon Book Award in CNF. His new book, Seeking Kenny, is about the extremes of the American subculture of wrestling as seen through the story of five-time national champion Oregon wrestler Kenny Cox’s pilgrimage deep into the wilderness of Kauai’s Na Pali Coast (University of Iowa Press 2026).

Cox devoted his life to wrestling: winning ten Oregon championships in collegiate, freestyle, and Greco-Roman and five junior national championships. But when his college career came to a close, Cox realized he wasn’t sure who he was or how to go about living his life. A few years later, he walked from Oregon to Mexico and back, and upon his return, sold his house and flew to Kauai, where he ventured deep into the wilderness and survived seventy days without supplies. Just weeks after reemerging from the wild, he died at the age of thirty-one.

Copperman considers the life and untimely death of Cox, reconstructing memories of his former training partner with the help of Cox’s family, friends, fans, and fellow wrestlers. Seeking Kenny is, in part, an ode to a storied athlete. But it’s also a cautionary tale about the mental and bodily extremes Cox demanded for his achievements. Copperman asks what it means to live past one’s “glory days,” and what roles loss, grief, faith, and memory play when athletes leave pieces of themselves behind.

Free and open to the public.

The Oregon Humanities Center presents a wine chat with Professor Eleonora Redaelli.

Who actually keeps American culture alive? We tend to picture artists, scholars, and museums — but a quiet, tangled web of federal, state, and local government has shaped the country’s cultural life for decades, usually without anyone noticing. Drawing on her book, Invisible Cultural Policy in America, Professor Eleonora Redaelli will trace how this patchwork system emerged, the debates that shaped how we think about arts, humanities, and historic preservation, and what it looks like on the ground — from Oregon to Minnesota, Maryland, and New Mexico.  

Join Professor Redaelli and the Oregon Humanities Center for a thoughtful discussion of this matter. Doors open at 5 p.m. Beverages and food will be available for purchase and light refreshments will be provided. There is ample parking at Banner Bank across the street. This event is free and open to the public. Please register at ohc.oregon.edu. 

The Oregon Humanities Center hosts weekly Work-in-Progress Talks to showcase the humanities research of its many fellows. This week, Gonzalo Bustamante-Moya presents his research on "Capitalism, Indebted Subjects, and Latin American Critique(s)."

As capitalism has come to determine the organization of our societies and shared planet, humans have become distinctly capitalist beings. This project presents a history of capitalism that focuses on its effects in the ordinary existence of individuals and communities. By investigating how capitalist power governs us from within and exploring past and present efforts to resist it, this account contributes analytical and practical tools to collectively create a different form of living.

Professor Ha will present a talk about his recent book Late Industrialization, Tradition, and Social Change in South Korea (University of Washington Press, 2024). This book is a path-breaking study of how the Korean miracle of industrialization could take place by relying on traditional social structures. Prof. Ha will discuss in particular the phenomenon of "neofamilism" by which the Korean state promoted industrialization by relying on kinship networks to channel capital into chaebol corporations.

Guest speaker: Yong Chool Ha, Director, Center for Korean Studies, Korean Foundation Professor of Korean Social Science, University of Washington Event sponsors: Myung Sup Lim Lecture Series in Korean Studies, US-Vietnam Research Center, Department of Political Science, and Department of Sociology.

Two leaders from a progressive Israeli labor union that organizes Jewish and Palestinian workers in joint unions will visit the University of Oregon for a four-day visit.

The union, "Power of the Workers," will send one Jewish and one Palestinian organizer from their union, who will talk about all of the aspects of organizing unions across those lines.

They will focus in particular on their experience organizing public transportation bus drivers in the Jerusalem area, where occasional anti-Palestinian threats or violence have been met by a series of one-day strikes in which Jewish and Palestinian drivers all stuck together. This isn't a simple kumbaya story, but it's impressive and instructive, and a little bit hopeful in a place where it's hard to find hope.

The speakers will be of interest to a wide range of students — both those interested in labor/economic justice, those interested in Isreal/Palestine, and those interested in organizing across national/ethical/racial lines more broadly.

The Oregon Humanities Center hosts weekly Work-in-Progress Talks to showcase the humanities research of its many fellows. This week, Micah Jones presents her research on "The Price of Freedom: Race, Consumption, and the Long Black Freedom Struggle, 1915-1970."

Jones's project is a history of consumerism and civil rights activism in the Jim Crow South. She documents the discrimination Black shoppers faced in white-owned stores, and how they protested these practices. She also tracks how broader changes in the retail industry impacted Black consumers, in particular. For Black southerners, securing their civil rights was not enough. True freedom necessitated full and equal access to all realms of public life, from the polls to the produce aisle. 

Join us for this Work-in-Progress Talk in the OHC Conference Room (Prince Lucien Campbell Hall 159) at noon on Fridays. These events are free and open to the public. Please register for this event online at ohc.uoregon.edu.

Talk by Prof. Edyta Bojanowska, Yale University, “An Amphitheater for the Russian Vanities: The Caucasus, Russian Imperialism, and Lermontov’s ‘Princess Mary’”.

In poems that attend to overlapping social and planetary catastrophes, the Romanian-German Jewish poet Paul Celan provokes an expanded field of memory and trauma that anticipates and stands to inform the current ecological turn in memory studies and across the humanities and social sciences.

In his lecture Professor Groves will present Celan’s poetry as one of the missing articulations of the Anthropocene, and will explore the more-than-human relations that are evoked in the line “we stones” as a rallying cry that resonates in figures of “insurgent geologies” (Kathryn Yusoff) in contemporary art, from Ilana Halperin to Otobong Nkanga.

The Oregon Humanities Center hosts weekly Work-in-Progress Talks to showcase the humanities research of its many fellows. This week, Leah Lowthorp presents her research on "Hashtag Storytelling and CRISPR Gene Editing: Biotechnological Humor, Anxiety, and Hope Online."

Lowthorp's project takes an ethnographic approach to the study of online storytelling about human genetic modification, exploring the impact of an emerging genetic technology on the lives of everyday people. Analyzing social media narratives and memes related to the CRISPR gene-editing tool, it offers a window onto the spectrum of public engagement with this biotechnology while contextualizing these narratives within larger scientific, policy, and social justice-oriented ethical and biopolitical landscapes.
