SUMMARY:Lecture—Botany of Empire: Plant Worlds and the Scientific Legacies of Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Colonial ambitions spawned imperial attitudes\, theories\, and practices that remain entrenched within botany and across the life sciences. Banu Subramaniam\, an interdisciplinary plant biologist and Luella LaMer Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at Wellesley College\, draws on fields as disparate as queer studies\, Indigenous studies\, and the biological sciences to explore the labyrinthine history of how colonialism transformed rich and complex plant worlds into biological knowledge. \nTheir third book\, Botany of Empire: Plant Worlds and the Scientific Legacies of Colonialism (University of Washington Press\, 2024)\, demonstrates how botany’s foundational theories and practices were shaped\nand fortified in the aid of colonial rule and its extractive ambitions. We see how colonizers obliterated plant time’s deep history to create a reductionist system that imposed a Latin-based naming system\, drew on the imagined sex lives of European elites to explain plant sexuality\, and discussed foreign plants like foreign humans. Subramaniam then pivots to imagining a more inclusive and capacious field of botany untethered and decentered from its origins in histories of racism\, slavery\, and colonialism. This vision harnesses the power of feminist and scientific thought to chart a course for more socially just practices of\nexperimental biology.

SUMMARY:Legacy of Blood: Jews\, Pogroms\, and Ritual Murder in the Lands of the Soviets
DESCRIPTION:Based on witness accounts\, memoirs\, the press\, and secret police reports from the archives and libraries of Kyiv\, Lviv\, Vilnius\, Jerusalem\, Washington D.C.\, and New York City\, Legacy of Blood explores the afterlife of the two most extreme manifestations of tsarist antisemitism—pogroms and blood libels—in the Soviet Union\, from the Revolution of 1917 to the early 1960s. \nLegacy of Blood analyzes the role of the genocidal violence unleashed during the pogroms of the civil war in shaping the relationship between Jews\, central and local authorities\, and their neighbors. It traces the persistence and permutation of the blood libel in the atheistic Soviet Union throughout the interwar period and into the postwar period. It reassesses the interplay between official and popular antisemitism in the USSR from 1917 to the early 1960s. By dissecting the phenomenon and the memory of anti-Jewish violence under the Bolsheviks\, this book sheds light on the ever-changing and at times ambivalent relationship between the state and the Jewish minority group in modern times.

SUMMARY:James Whitman on Hitler's American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law
DESCRIPTION:We invite you for a conversation with James Q. Whitman\, Ford Foundation Professor of Comparative and Foreign Law at Yale Law School; Jed Shugerman\, professor of law at Fordham University; and Magda Teter\, Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies\, about Whitman’s book Hitler’s American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law. \nWhitman’s timely book explores how American race law provided a blueprint for Nazi Germany. Nazism triumphed in Germany during the high era of Jim Crow laws in the United States. In Hitler’s American Model\, Whitman demonstrates the impact race laws in the United States\, such as Jim Crow\, anti-miscgenation laws\, and laws concerning American citizenship\, had on the notorious Nuremberg Laws\, the centerpiece anti-Jewish legislation of the Nazi regime. Linking American race laws to the shaping of Nazi policies in Germany\, Hitler’s American Model\, as Brent Staples noted in The New York Times\, “illustrates how German propagandists sought to normalize the Nazi agenda domestically by putting forth the United States as a model.” \nHarvard’s Lawrence Tribe praised the book as “a profound testament to what the past can teach us about the present.” Foreign Affairs called Hitler’s American Model one of the “Best Books of 2017.” According to Tulane’s Lawrence Powell\, Whitman’s book “is one of the most engrossing and disturbing pieces of legal history.” \nThis is a joint event of Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies; Fordham Law’s Institute of Religion\, Law\, and Lawyer’s Work; and the Center for Jewish Studies at CUNY-Graduate Center\, in collaboration with the New York Public Library and the Leo Baeck Institute.
