SUMMARY:2019 RCI George and Bernadine Converse Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Announcing the 2019 RCI George and Bernadine Converse Lecture: \nWednesday\, March 20th\, 7pm\, CUB 220 (Senior Ballroom)\, Washington State University \nDr. Alfiee M. Breland-Noble. “AAKOMA: Understanding Global-Historical Context and Complexity of Mental Heath & Depression Disparities in Black Youth.” \nWhile the prevalence of depression rates varies little across racial groups of teens\, Black (African American\, Caribbean Black\, Black African and Black Latinx) youth face significant disparities in accessing state of the art care. This presentation will illuminate the underlying historical and globally applicable psychological barriers to depression treatment engagement and research participation cited by Black youth\, families and communities. Our presenter\, Dr. Alfiee M. Breland-Noble (known publicly Dr. Alfiee)\, a leading expert in this area and director of the AAKOMA Research Lab at Georgetown University Medical Center\, will highlight 20+ years of research findings to examine the practical application of theoretical approaches to community empowerment to address this problem and will describe outcomes of her team’s approach to strategic community engagement for reducing mental health disparities. She will also articulate real world barriers and facilitators of Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR)\, Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) and Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) with racially diverse populations\, with an emphasis on Faith Based Mental Health Promotion.  \nSponsored by The Roots of Contemporary Issues (RCI) Program\, Department of History\, in partnership with the Foley Institute and WSU College of Arts & Sciences. \nFor more information\, contact history@wsu.edu.

SUMMARY:2017 RCI George and Bernadine Converse Lecture: Dr. Bart Elmore
DESCRIPTION:“Coke Isn’t Dope! The Ecological Limits of Coca-Cola Capitalism”.\nDr. Bart Elmore\, Assistant Professor of History\, The Ohio State University. \nCoca-Cola is everywhere. Today\, the company sells over 1.8 billion servings of its products daily to customers in over 190 countries worldwide. So how did the company do it? That’s the question that inspired environmental historian Bart Elmore to write Citizen Coke: The Making of Coca-Cola Capitalism. Come hear about his international journey to document the ecological footprint of the Coca-Cola Company. Not just a conversation about one company\, this talk will focus on lessons learned from the past that might help us design an ecologically sustainable economy for the future. \nRCI 2017 Converse Lecture\, Bart Elmore – Flyer

SUMMARY:Public Dams\, Private Power: The Fight for Clarks Hill\, 1946-1957
DESCRIPTION:In the decade following the end of World War II\, public and private forces collided over plans to construct a massive federal dam on the Snake River at Hells Canyon. The battle sparked national debates about nature\, energy\, economic development\, and political power\, as private interests successfully “unplugged” the New Deal in the US Northwest and ushered in an energy regime of private dams and public power. At the same time\, Southerners too engaged in battles over whether the private or public sector should control their rivers. Clarks Hill dam on the Savannah River assumed a central position in regional and national questions about the fate of the New Deal. Casey Cater offers a comparative regional analysis for WSU’s Northwest audience. Despite important similarities between the Northwest and South\, Cater argues that what Southerners got at Clarks Hill was the reverse of the outcome at Hells Canyon: public dams but private power. Private utilities “unplugged” the New Deal in the South\, but plugged its machinery of hydropower into its increasingly coal-based network\, reaffirming a Southern political economy based on state-sanctioned\, federally subsidized private monopoly over nature.   \n \nCasey Cater teaches History at Kennesaw State University near Atlanta\, GA. He draws this presentation at WSU from his current research project: Regenerating Dixie: Electric Energy and the Making of the Modern South. \nThis public lecture is sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences Berry Family Faculty Excellence Fellows\, the Columbia Chair in the History of the American West\, the Sherman and Mabel Smith Pettyjohn Memorial Lectureship\, and the Center for Environmental Research\, Education\, and Outreach.

SUMMARY:The Filth of Progress: Immigrants\, Americans\, and the Building of Canals and Railroads in the West
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ryan Dearinger\, Associate Professor & Chair\, Department of History\, Eastern Oregon University \n \nRyan Dearinger tells the story of the immigrants and Americans—the Irish\, Chinese\, Mormons\, and native-born citizens—whose labor created the West’s infrastructure and turned the nation’s dream of a continental empire into a reality. Salvaging stories often omitted from the triumphant narrative of progress by focusing on the suffering and survival of the workers who were treated as outsiders\, this book reveals that canals and railroads were not static monuments to progress but moving spaces of conflict and contestation. \nSponsored by the Sherman and Mabel Smith Pettyjohn Memorial Lectureship and the College of Arts and Sciences Berry Family Faculty Excellence Fellows.
