SUMMARY:Regeneration Talk: Afghanistan: The Forever War Ends
DESCRIPTION:After twenty years\, the end of the American war in Afghanistan was ugly and chaotic\, with terrible scenes of friends and allies being left behind and of the Taliban sweeping away everything America built. Did it have to be this way? Dexter Filkins\, who began covering the country before the 9/11 attacks\, will discuss how the Afghan state\, built at such great expense\, crumbled so fast\, why America’s withdrawal turned out so badly\, and how–whether we want it to or not–Afghanistan may figure in our future. The message he’ll deliver contains a measure of hope: that the vast changes set in motion by the United States in that country\, especially those regarding women\, may yet survive. \nDexter Filkins has been a staff writer with The New Yorker since 2011. From 2000 to 2010\, he was a reporter for The New York Times\, reporting from Afghanistan\, Pakistan\, and Iraq. He has also worked for the Miami Herald and the Los Angeles Times\, where he was chief of the paper’s New Delhi bureau. In 2009\, he won a Pulitzer Prize as part of a team of Times journalists covering Pakistan and Afghanistan. He has received numerous other prizes\, including two George Polk Awards and three Overseas Press Club Awards. His book\, The Forever War\, won the 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction and was named a best book of the year by The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Time\, and The Boston Globe. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Regeneration series and the Sara Miller McCune and George D. McCune Endowment \nImage\, left side panel: still from video by Mukhtar Wafayee of an American military plane leaving Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul on Aug 16\, 2021\nImage\, right side panel: credit Ahmad Sahel Arman\, students stand along a pathway near Kabul University after it was reopened on February 26\, 2022 \n\nPer University guidelines\, masks are recommended for vaccinated persons and required for unvaccinated persons during all indoor events except when actively eating or drinking. Before coming to campus\, UCSB affiliates should complete the Student Health COVID-19 Screening Survey\, and non-affiliates should complete the On-Demand Daily COVID-19 Screening Survey.

SUMMARY:Regeneration Talk: Elizabeth Kolbert
DESCRIPTION:It is said that we live in a new geological epoch characterized by climate change and other disastrous human impacts on the planet. In her new book\, Under a White Sky: The Nature of the Future\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elizabeth Kolbert takes a hard look at the new world we are creating. Should we be seeking technological solutions to the damage humans have caused to the environment\, or will such “solutions” only make the problems worse? \nElizabeth Kolbert is a staff writer for The New Yorker. Her book The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History\, an examination of mass extinctions that weaves intellectual and natural history with reporting in the field\, was a New York Times 2014 Top Ten Best Book of the Year and is number one on the Guardian‘s list of the 100 Best Nonfiction Books of all time. The Sixth Extinction also won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize in the General Nonfiction category and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle awards for the best books of 2014. Growing out of a groundbreaking three-part series in The New Yorker\, her first book\, Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Man\, Nature\, and Climate Change\, was chosen as one of the 100 Notable Books of the Year (2006) by The New York Times Book Review. \nKolbert has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1999. Her journalism has garnered numerous awards\, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s magazine award\, the National Academy of Sciences Communication Award in the newspaper/magazine category\, and a National Magazine Award in the Reviews and Criticism category. Kolbert has also been awarded a Lannan Writing Fellowship\, the prestigious Heinz Award\, the Sierra Club’s David R. Brower Award\, the Walter Sullivan Award for Excellence in Science Journalism from the American Geophysical Union\, and the Blake-Dodd Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In March 2021 she was voted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. \nCopies of Kolbert’s books will be available for purchase and signing\, courtesy of Chaucer’s Books. This will event will be held in person; there will not be live or recorded online viewing options. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Regeneration series and the IHC Idee Levitan Endowment \n\nPer University guidelines\, masks are recommended for vaccinated persons and required for unvaccinated persons during all indoor events except when actively eating or drinking.

SUMMARY:Critical Mass Talk: Nations in Crisis\, People in Crisis: Connecting Upheaval
DESCRIPTION:IHC Director Susan Derwin asked Jared Diamond\, UCLA Professor of Geography\, a few questions about his work in light of the current pandemic. Read his comments here. \nNations that successfully navigate crises do so by making selective changes to their identities and actions. When individuals experience crises—mid-life\, financial\, health\, relationship—they may also adopt selective changes to overcome the situation. But some individuals\, like some nations\, are better at navigating upheaval than others. By drawing on the factors that counselors and psychotherapists have identified that affect the likelihood of overcoming personal crisis\, Diamond will examine the extent to which crisis response on the individual scale helps us to understand the outcomes of recent and impending national and world crises. \nJared Diamond is professor of Geography at UCLA and the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Guns\, Germs\, and Steel\, Collapse\, and other books. \nCopies of Diamond’s books will be available for purchase and signing. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Critical Mass series \nImage: Kinuko Y.

SUMMARY:Taubman Symposia Talk: Living in English\, Writing in Hebrew: A Conversation with Israeli-American Author Ruby Namdar
DESCRIPTION:Eighteen years ago\, Israeli author Ruby Namdar arrived in New York\, not knowing that he had just taken the first step of an incredible literary\, cultural\, and personal journey. The novel The Ruined House\, winner of the 2014 Sapir Prize\, Israel’s most prestigious literary award\, was an artistic response to Namdar’s wonderful experience of discovering America\, American Jewry\, and American Jewish literature. Translated from the Hebrew by Hillel Halkin\, The Ruined House was recently published in the U.S. by Harper Collins and was recognized by The New York Times as a “masterpiece of modern religious literature.” The renowned critic Adam Kirsch (Tablet Magazine) called it “a new kind of Jewish novel\, which everyone interested in Jewish literature should read.” \nIn this talk Ruby Namdar will discuss his sources of inspiration\, his new-found relationship to the great Jewish-American authors of the previous generation\, and the rewards -as well as the setbacks – of living in one language while writing in another. \nCo-sponsored by the UCSB Department of Religious Studies\, Congregation B’nai B’rith\, Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara\, and Santa Barbara Hillel

SUMMARY:Crossings + Boundaries Talk: Exodus: The Largest Movement of People Since the Second World War
DESCRIPTION:The world is witnessing the greatest mass migration since 1945. More than sixty-five million people\, about one in every hundred on Earth\, have fled their homes. Some are internally displaced; others are refugees who have moved to multiple countries. This talk will discuss the three main causes of this giant human tide: the implosion of the Middle East following the Arab Spring; climate change\, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa\, where drought and advancing deserts are pushing people to abandon their homes; and famine\, because of which at least twenty million people are currently at risk of starvation\, most of them in Nigeria\, South Sudan\, Yemen\, and Somalia. In his talk\, Filkins will take the audience on a tour of these places and discuss ways to address the complex causes of mass migration. \nFilkins has been a staff writer with The New Yorker since 2011. From 2000 to 2010\, he was a reporter for the New York Times\, reporting from Afghanistan\, Pakistan\, and Iraq. He has also worked for the Miami Herald and the Los Angeles Times\, where he was chief of the paper’s New Delhi bureau. In 2009\, he won a Pulitzer Prize as part of a team of Times journalists covering Pakistan and Afghanistan. His book\, The Forever War\, won the 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Crossings + Boundaries series; the Walter H. Capps Center for the Study of Ethics\, Religion\, and Public Life; and the IHC’s Harry Girvetz Memorial Endowment.
