SUMMARY:Skirball Talks: Angela Davis “Politics & Aesthetics in the Era of Black Lives Matter” Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:What are the different tools for combating racism today\, after Obama’s presidency and the backlash of the Trump regime? What do the tools of struggle and emancipation look like\, and do aesthetics play a role? Please join us as activist\, scholar and writer Angela Davis discusses in the “Politics & Aesthetics in the Era of Black Lives Matter” lecture series.\n\nThrough her activism and scholarship over many decades\, Angela Davis has been deeply involved in movements for social justice around the world. Her work as an educator – both at the university level and in the larger public sphere – has always emphasized the importance of building communities of struggle for economic\, racial\, and gender justice. Professor Davis’ teaching career has taken her to San Francisco State University\, Mills College\, and UC Berkeley. She also has taught at UCLA\, Vassar\, Syracuse University the Claremont Colleges\, and Stanford University. Most recently she spent fifteen years at the University of California Santa Cruz where she is now Distinguished Professor Emerita of History of Consciousness – an interdisciplinary PhD program – and of Feminist Studies. Angela Davis is the author of ten books and has lectured throughout the United States as well as in Europe\, Africa\, Asia\, Australia\, and South America. In recent years a persistent theme of her work has been the range of social problems associated with incarceration and the generalized criminalization of those communities that are most affected by poverty and racial discrimination. She draws upon her own experiences in the early seventies as a person who spent eighteen months in jail and on trial\, after being placed on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted List.” She also has conducted extensive research on numerous issues related to race\, gender and imprisonment. Her recent books include Abolition Democracy and Are Prisons Obsolete? about the abolition of the prison industrial complex\, a new edition of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass\, and a collection of essays entitled The Meaning of Freedom. Her most recent book of essays\, called Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson\, Palestine\, and the Foundations of a Movement\, was published in February 2016. Angela Davis is a founding member of Critical Resistance\, a national organization dedicated to the dismantling of the prison industrial complex. Internationally\, she is affiliated with Sisters Inside\, an abolitionist organization based in Queensland\, Australia that works in solidarity with women in prison. Like many educators\, Professor Davis is especially concerned with the general tendency to devote more resources and attention to the prison system than to educational institutions. Having helped to popularize the notion of a “prison industrial complex\,” she now urges her audiences to think seriously about the future possibility of a world without prisons and to help forge a 21st century abolitionist movement.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: "The Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem" Jane Hathaway
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nEunuchs were a common feature of pre- and early modern societies that are now poorly understood. Here\, Jane Hathaway offers an in-depth study of the chief of the African eunuchs who guarded the harem of the Ottoman Empire. A wide range of primary sources are used to analyze the Chief Eunuch’s origins in East Africa and his political\, economic\, and religious role from the inception of his office in the late sixteenth century through the dismantling of the palace harem in the early twentieth century. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHathaway highlights the origins of the institution and how the role of eunuchs developed in East Africa as well as exploring the Chief Eunuchs connections to Egypt and Medina. By tracing the evolution of the office\, we see how the Chief Eunuch’s functions changed in response to transformations in Ottoman society\, from the generalized crisis of the seventeenth century to the westernizing reforms of the nineteenth century.\n\nJane Hathaway (Arts & Sciences Distinguished Professor of History\, Ohio State University) is a specialist of the Ottoman empire. Her research has focused on the empire’s Arab provinces\, particularly Egypt and Yemen. She has recently been working on the Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Imperial Harem. She received her Ph.D. from Princeton’s’ Near Eastern Studies Department in 1992. She is the author of The Politics of Household in Ottoman Egypt: The Rise of the Qazdaglis (Cambridge\, 1997)\, A Tale of Two Factions: Myth\, Memory\, and Identity in Ottoman Egypt and Yemen(SUNY Press\, 2003)\, Beshir Agha\, Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem (Oneworld\, 2006)\, The Arab Lands under Ottoman Rule\, 1516-1800 (Pearson/Longman\, 2008)\, and The Chief Eunuch of the Ottoman Harem: From African Slave to Power-Broker (Cambridge\, 2018). \n\nThis book talk will also feature discussant Leslie Peirce (Emeritus\, NYU)\, whose writing and teaching focus on the Ottoman empire\, with an emphasis on the early modern period. Her first book explored the shifting nature of imperial politics by placing the palace harem at the center of inquiry. Other topics Peirce has written about include honor and sexuality\, provincial politics\, abduction and captivity\, and slavery and household formation. She recently published a biographical account of Hurrem\, the concubine and then wife to Suleyman I the Magnificent. \nCheck out the Facebook event here. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by Ottoman & Turkish Studies (OTS) at NYU.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Afro-Arab Relations: From the Common Struggle to the "New Scramble"
DESCRIPTION:Lecture with Rawia Tawfik\n  \nAbstract:\nIn the mid-twentieth century\, Arab and African countries waged a common struggle against colonialism and racial segregation. Arabs supported the liberation of African colonies and the isolation of apartheid South Africa. In their turn\, newly independent African countries showed solidarity with Arabs in their conflict against Israel. With international and regional transformations at the end of the century this collective mobilization for united action had faded away.  In the last decade\, Arab regional powers\, especially Gulf monarchies\, are making a strong comeback to the continent. From investing in various economic sectors to brokering peace between rival countries in the Horn of Africa\, Gulf countries are heavily investing in seizing the economic opportunities in the rising continent and bringing stability to their turbulent Eastern neighbors. This lecture traces the continuities and changes in Afro-Arab relations in the last six decades. It maps the actors\, interests and policies that shape the unfolding alliances and rivalries between and within the two regions. It questions whether the renewed interest of Arab regional powers in Africa is an asset for Africa’s peace and development or part and parcel of the ‘new scramble’ for Africa’s political and economic resources.\n  \nRawia Tawfik is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Economics and Political Science at Cairo University. She holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Politics from the University of Oxford and a Master of Science in Politics from Cairo University. Her research interests include issues surrounding African development and regional integration\, Nile hydro-politics\, and the foreign policy of regional powers in Africa. She was a visiting research fellow at the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA)\, and the Africa Institute of South Africa (AISA) and a researcher at the German Development Institute/Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE). She received a number of prestigious awards and research grants\, including the individual research grant of the African Peacebuilding Network in 2017\, and the Presidential Fellowship of the African Studies Association.\n
