    1. Oct 4 UCHI Fellow’s Talk: David Evans on the Human Right to Food 12:15pm

      UCHI Fellow’s Talk: David Evans on the Human Right to Food

      Wednesday, October 4th, 2023

      12:15 PM - 01:15 PM


      Homer Babbidge Library

       UCHI Fellow’s Talk: David Evans on the Human Right to Food

      UCHI Dissertation Scholar David Evans will be giving a talk on “Rediscovering Hunger: The Human Right to Food and US Politics in the 1970s”

      with a response by Kathryn Angelica

      This event will also be livestreamed.

      “Rediscovering Hunger” examines the political struggle surrounding the effort to embed the human right to food into US foreign and domestic policy in the mid-1970s. Following a disastrous world food crisis that lasted from 1973-1974, US citizens and political leaders re-awoke to the ethical problem that hunger presented. The promise of the modernization projects of the 1960s gave way to a reality in which wealthy countries remained well-fed, the global poor starved and suffered. Therefore in 1976, various US Congressional leaders, supported by a broad coalition of religious and secular activists, sought to establish the human right to food in US policy. The effort represented one of the earliest efforts in a wider human rights project that came to dominate US politics by the end of the decade. The episode also illustrated the constraints of effectively achieving human rights, as food producers and market fundamentalists contested the meaning and viability of the human right to food despite its moral universality.

    5. Oct 18 UCHI Fellow’s Talk: Alexander Diener on Place Attachment and the Geographies of Being 12:15pm

      UCHI Fellow’s Talk: Alexander Diener on Place Attachment and the Geographies of Being

      Wednesday, October 18th, 2023

      12:15 PM - 01:15 PM


      Homer Babbidge Library

       UCHI Fellow’s Talk: Alexander Diener on Place Attachment and the Geographies of Being

      UCHI Fellow Alexander Diener (Geography, University of Kansas) will give a talk on “The Middle of Somewhere: Place Attachment and the Geographies of Being”

      with response by Martine Granby (Journalism, UConn).

      This event will also be livestreamed.

      Place attachment is a burgeoning field of scholarship maturing in theory, method, and application. The phenomenon obviously relates to concepts of residency, including key questions such as: Who moves and why? Who stays and why? Who returns and why? But place attachment also encompasses broader networks of place and geographic contingency, including questions such as: How do place attachments form? Why do people form attachments to some places and not others? How are concepts of home and homeland negotiated within and across varied conditions of mobility? In this talk, Alexander Diener approaches place attachment as an assemblage of materiality, performance, and narration. Rather than being static or deterministic, this model points to people’s varied capacities to make and remake place attachments, and how this shapes everyday routines (e.g. routes to work, shopping, social interactions), major life choices (e.g. places of residence, education, vacations), and identities (e.g. civic, national, religious). Keywords: place attachment, territorialization, environmental psychology, homeland, place identity, place dependency).
