The author will be joined in conversation by Ashley Carse (Vanderbilt University) and Deborah Cowen (University of Toronto)\, moderated by Juan De Lara (USC). Co-sponsored by the Center on Science\, Technology\, and Public Life and the Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies. \nRegistration is required. REGISTER HERE \nAbout the Book: Can the stories of bananas\, whales\, sea birds\, and otters teach us to reconsider the seaport as a place of ecological violence\, tied to oil\, capital\, and trade? \nSan Pedro Bay\, which contains the contiguous Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach\, is a significant site for petroleum shipping and refining as well as one of the largest container shipping ports in the world—some forty percent of containerized imports to the United States pass through this so-called America’s Port. It is also ecologically rich. Built atop a land- and waterscape of vital importance to wildlife\, the heavily industrialized Los Angeles Harbor contains estuarial wetlands\, the LA River mouth\, and a marine ecology where colder and warmer Pacific Ocean waters meet. In this compelling interdisciplinary investigation\, award-winning author Christina Dunbar-Hester explores the complex relationships among commerce\, empire\, environment\, and the nonhuman life forms of San Pedro Bay over the last fifty years—a period coinciding with the era of modern environmental regulation in the United States. The LA port complex is not simply a local site\, Dunbar-Hester argues\, but a node in a network that enables the continued expansion of capitalism\, propelling trade as it drives the extraction of natural resources\, labor violations\, pollution\, and other harms. Focusing specifically on cetaceans\, bananas\, sea birds\, and otters whose lives are intertwined with the vitality of the port complex itself\, Oil Beach reveals how logistics infrastructure threatens ecologies as it circulates goods and capital—and helps us to consider a future where the accumulation of life and the accumulation of capital are not in violent tension. \nAbout the Author: Christina Dunbar-Hester is a Professor of Communication at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. She conducts interpretive research into the politics of technology. She is the author of two award-winning ethnographies of activism in technical communities: Hacking Diversity: The Politics of Inclusion in Open Technology Cultures (Princeton U. Press\, 2020); and Low Power to the People: Pirates\, Protest\, and Politics in FM Radio Activism (MIT Press\, 2014). Dunbar-Hester’s most recent publication\, Oil Beach: How Toxic Infrastructure Threatens Life in the Ports of Los Angeles and Beyond (University of Chicago Press\, 2023) is a study of multispecies life and death in the Ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach\, with emphasis on global shipping\, wildlife conservation\, and petroleum infrastructure. \nOpen to attendants outside of USC. An excerpt of the book will be made available to registered attendants. Registration before the event is required. \nThis event is part of the Levan Institute for the Humanities’ “Book Chats” series\, conversations about new books published by USC scholars in the humanities and humanistic social sciences.

DESCRIPTION:California confronts a set of interlocking policy challenges that threaten its future vitality. The state has long been a magnet to people across the U.S. and the world seeking economic opportunity and a high quality of life. But as the price of housing has spiraled out of control and as climate change has multiplied the risks posed by drought and wildfires to communities\, the state must develop new strategies that safeguard its future. This conference will bring together academic experts\, policymakers\, and advocates for a discussion of both the underlying problems facing the state and potential solutions. \nIn addition to a lunchtime Keynote by State Controller Bette Yee\, the conference will feature three panels: “Safeguarding California’s Communities in the Face of Climate Change\,” “California as Energy Leader\,” and “Addressing the State’s Housing Crisis.” \nREGISTER HERE \nZoom option will be available for those that cannot attend in person.
