SUMMARY:The Blue Commons: Combating Rentier Capitalism in the Sea
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 13 at 12:30 pm\, the University of Maine Socialist and Marxist Studies Speaker Series presents a talk by Guy Standing (Professor\, Economist\, SOAS University of London of Philosophy) titled “The Blue Commons: Combating Rentier Capitalism in the Sea.” \n(Zoom link https://maine.zoom.us/j/3657262020) \nGuy Standing\, Professor\, Economist\, SOAS University of London of Philosophy \nGuy Standing is one of the world’s leading progressive economists. In his new book\, The Blue Commons\, he submits that in the past 50 years\, the sea has been subject to the greatest enclosure in history\, which has led to the most extensive privatization with the grip of global finance involved in highly profitable rent-seeking activities. We have a green politics\, but not a blue politics. The blue commons have been plundered. This is ecologically and economically catastrophic. Guy Standing proposes a progressive strategy that would revive the blue commons\, reverse environmental decay\, and reduce inequalities while giving commoners basic economic security. \nThe Spring 2023 Socialist and Marxist Studies Series is sponsored by the Marxist and Socialist Studies Minor\, co-sponsored by Maine Peace Action Comm. (MPAC) and Division of Student Affairs\, with support of College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Dept. of Philosophy. Speakers do not necessarily present socialist or Marxist viewpoints.

SUMMARY:The Contradictions of ‘Civilizing’ Consumption: Colonial Wine in Britain’s Imperial Project
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, October 31st at 4:00pm EDT via Zoom\, Dr. Chelsea Davis (Missouri State University) will give a talk entitled\, “The Contradictions of ‘Civilizing’ Consumption: Colonial Wine in Britain’s Imperial Project.” \nDr. Chelsea Davis is an Assistant Professor of British History with a focus on Empire at Missouri State University. She received her PhD from The George Washington University in 2021\, where her doctoral dissertation\, “Cultivating Imperial Networks: British Colonial Wine Production at the Cape of Good Hope and South Australia\, 1834-1910\,” examined the process of founding and integrating Britain’s colonial wine industries in Australia and South Africa into the global market. The archival research that grounds her work spanning four continents was generously supported by the American Historical Association\, the COSMOS Club\, both the History Department and Columbian College of Arts and Sciences at George Washington University\, and the College of Humanities and Public Affairs at Missouri State University. Prior to joining Missouri State’s History Department\, Davis was a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Colby College. She is currently developing her monograph entitled\, The Empire and the Aphid: Phylloxera\, Science\, and Race in the Age of Migration\, 1860-1910\, which uses the grape vine disease phylloxera as an entry point to study global migrations of insect ‘invaders’\, colonial producers\, scientists\, laborers\, and viticultural knowledge. \nPlease register for the talk here at https://maine.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMvdOGsqjgiHdZ3uXxDYFjm5_Y8jiMwL6Xz
