SUMMARY:New Directions in the History of Knowledge and Material Culture
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The University Seminar on The History and Philosophy of Science \nMany recent works in the history of science and knowledge address various aspects of materiality\, including material culture\, agentive matter\, and the trajectories of materials\, objects\, and knowledge across geographic and epistemic borders. This workshop\, which accompanies a new graduate history course taught by Professor Pamela Smith\, seeks to introduce and discuss some of these new approaches. Visiting scholars Anna Grasskamp (University of Oslo)\, Dana Leibsohn (Smith College)\, and Alisha Rankin (Tufts University) will present their research in conversation with the work of local graduate students and scholars of material culture. \nAttendance by invitation only. Please email scr2165@columbia.edu if you would like to attend.

SUMMARY:Unsettled in Dakar: Architectural Modernity in 20th century Senegal
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The University Seminar on Beyond France \nThis symposium on architecture and urban planning in Twentieth-Century Senegal spotlights new research on how the built environment in and around Dakar registered the continuities and ruptures between French rule and independence\, indigenous heritage and colonial legacies. What role did the built environment play in constructing citizenship? What opportunities did Senegal’s independence usher in for French and African designers? What effect did Léopold Sédar Senghor’s emphasis on the arts as a path to Négritude have on architectural production and training? Each panel will address one architectural scale: urban\, housing\, and monumental. Speakers include: Steven Nelson (UCLA); Nzinga Mboup (Worofilia); Ralph Ghoche (Barnard); Lucia Allais (Columbia); Gregory Valdespino (University of Iowa); Mamadou Diouf (Columbia); Martino Stierli (MoMA); Jana Ndiaye Berankova (Suture Press); Souleymane Bachir Diagne (Columbia); Frederick Cooper (NYU). \nSCHEDULE \n9:30 AM\nINTRODUCTIONS \n9:45 AM–11:15 AM\nFrom Urbanism to Urban Planning \n“Creating Colonial Dakar: Architecture and France’s Imperial Ambition”\nSteven Nelson\, University of California\, Los Angeles \n“The Makings of the Wooden Barrack House: A Marker of the Policy of Segregation and the Material Flows of the Colonial Administration”\nNzinga Mboup\, Worofila\, Dakar (Senegal) \nRespondent: Ralph Ghoche\, Barnard College \nCOFFEE BREAK \n11:30 AM–1 PM\nConcrete Domes and Mortgaged Homes \nMobilities: Dakar’s Maisons-ballons\, 1948-1952\nLucia Allais\, Columbia University \n“Dakar’s El Dorado: SICAP and the Promise of Prosperity”\nGregory Valdespino\, University of Iowa \nRespondent: Rosalind Fredericks\, Gallatin School\, New York University  \nMIDDAY BREAK \n2 PM–3 PM\n“Ghost Fair Trade” Film Screening (dir.
