SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Racing Time: Chronologies of Black Muslim Belonging in Arabic Epics
DESCRIPTION:How do racialized icons of popular culture index Muslim ideas of history and belonging? Several Arabic epics (siyar sha‘biyya) contain Black protagonists who are assigned unique origin stories and legacies of involvement in Islam’s expansion. This talk will analyze their roles in the racial imaginaries of popular tales that proliferated from the 12th century onward across the Middle East and North Africa through oral and written traditions. \nRachel Schine earned her Ph.D. in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations from the University of Chicago and is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the humanities at NYU\, Abu Dhabi. She previously served as a postdoctoral associate and instructor of Arabic literature and culture at the University of Colorado\, Boulder in the Department of Asian Languages and Civilizations. \nRegister for the Zoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Un-disciplining Premodern Histories of Race and Gender Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:9th Annual American Indian and Indigenous Collective (AIIC) Symposium: "Imagining Indigenous Futurities"
DESCRIPTION:The Ninth Annual American Indian and Indigenous Collective (AIIC) Symposium\, “Imagining Indigenous Futurities\,” is an interdisciplinary conference\, featuring presentations from across the academy – including from the humanities\, social sciences\, fine arts\, and sciences – and from community members and practitioners beyond academic borders. This year\, in selecting the theme — “Imagining Indigenous Futurities” — the AIIC asks participants: “What is most urgent for our communities now?” In asking this\, the symposium aims to advance conversations about global Indigenous people’s lifeways\, ecologies\, and knowledges; Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledges (ITEK); practices and theories for enacting just\, decolonial\, and sustainable futures; Native feminist\, Indigiqueer\, and Two Spirit knowledge creation\, storytelling\, and organizing; Landback movements; and\, Native storytelling as a form of resistance\, survivance\, and theorizing. How are our communities envisioning and enacting lush futures in the now for all our human and more-than-human relations? \nThe AIIC Symposium has the honor of featuring the following keynote speakers whose research addresses issues related to Indigenous Futurities\, ITEK\, and Indigenous environmental justice: Grace L. Dillon (Anishinaabe)\, Dolly Kikon (Lotha Naga)\, and Dina Gilio-Whitaker (Colville Confederated Tribes descendant). \nFor more information and to register\, please visit the symposium website \nSponsored by the American Cultures in a Global Context Center (ACGCC);  Blum Center; Department of Asian American Studies; Department of English; Department of Environmental Studies; Department of Feminist Studies; Department of History of Art and Architecture; Global Latinidades Project; Hemispheric South/s Research Initiative; Hull Professor and Chair of Women’s Studies Program; Interdisciplinary Humanities Center (IHC); IHC’s American Indian and Indigenous Collective Research Focus Group (AIIC RFG); Literature and Environment Research Initiative; Literature and the Mind Research Initiative; UCSB College of Letters & Science; UCSB Graduate Division; UCSB Graduate Student Association; UCSB Office of Equal Opportunity & Discrimination Prevention; UCSB Office of the Vice Chancellor for Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Mediterranean Displacements: Morisco Migration in the Sixteenth Century
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk with Dr. Mayte Green-Mercado (Professor of History at Rutgers University–Newark) on the displacement of Moriscos —Iberian Muslims forcibly converted to Catholicism in the first two decades of the sixteenth century. In this discussion of an ethno-religious minority group\, we will be exploring the possibilities of undisciplining and redisciplining histories of race and race-making in the premodern Mediterranean. \nMayte Green-Mercado received her B.A. in European History from the University of Puerto Rico\, and her Ph.D. from the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at The University of Chicago\, specializing in Islamic Studies. Before coming to Rutgers\, she was Assistant Professor of Mediterranean Studies in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. She is the director of the Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies Minor in the History Department. She teaches courses on Islamic Civilization\, Islamic history in Spain and North Africa\, and early modern Mediterranean history. Her courses deal with questions of religion\, politics\, identity\, and race and ethnicity in the medieval and early modern periods. She is the author of Visions of Deliverance: Moriscos and the Politics of Prophecy in the Early Modern Mediterranean (Cornell University Press\, December 2019). Her current book project is concerned with histories of displacement\, migration\, and refugees in the early modern Mediterranean. \nRegister for the Zoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Un-disciplining Premodern Histories of Race and Gender Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: The Place of Africa: Erasure\, Elision\, and the Task of Self-Writing
DESCRIPTION:Narratives of “connectivity” typically rely on discourses about Africa as a blank space devoid of social networks that are unique\, vibrant\, and continually being modified. While this takes agency away from Africans\, it rests on the colonial assumption that “connectivity\,” just as “civilization” before it\, is inherently exogenous\, white\, and male. This talk begins with the Rhodesian fantasy of connecting Africa from the Cape to Cairo and traces this logic through the contemporary discourse of digital inequality. It argues that the story of media & tech and African society today is as much rooted in the “hubris of good intentions” espoused by Henry Morton Stanley and Lord Frederick Lugard as it is in Silicon Valley’s missionary bent. In both\, the Global North’s actions are presented as bringing Africans into history and launching them into the future. Of course\, the Africa this discourse embraces is an imaginary Africa rather than a geographic Africa with people in it. This imaginary is vital because\, as Tageldin reminds us\, for the Global North to understand itself\, “Africa must be both ever compared and ever beyond the reach of comparison: beyond the pale of Western humanity” (2014\, 303). When it comes to media & technological advancement\, narratives about Africa and Africans are always\, as Mbembe reminds us\, “pretext for a comment on something else\, some other place\, some other people” (2001\, 3). The anchoring motivation for this talk is an excavation of moments of Africa’s “self-writing” in its pursuit to challenge the continual erasure and elision in connectivity narratives by the Global North. \nj. Siguru Wahutu is an Assistant Professor at NYU’s Department of Media\, Culture\, and Communication and a Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard. His primary scholarship examines media constructions of knowledge in Africa\, focusing on genocide and mass atrocities. His research interests include the effects of ethnicity and culture on the media representations of human rights violations\, global and transnational news flows\, postcolonial land claims\, and the political economy of international media\, with a regional emphasis on postcolonial Africa. His primary book project offers an extensive account of media coverage of Darfur between 2003 and 2008 within various African states (including Kenya\, Rwanda\, South Africa\, Nigeria\, and Egypt). When not studying media and genocide\, he works on data privacy issues and media manipulation in African countries. This secondary research stream is the subject of his second book project currently under contract with MIT Press. Wahutu’s research has appeared in African Journalism Studies\, African Affairs\, The International Journal of Press/Politics\, Global Media and Communication\, Media and Communication\, Media\, Culture and Society\, and Sociological Forum. \nSponsored by the IHC’s African Studies Research Focus Group\, Africa Center\, and History Department
