The Oregon Humanities Center hosts weekly Work-in-Progress Talks to showcase the humanities research of its many fellows. This week, Naomi Sussman presents her research on "Peoples of the Heartland: Native Nations, Sovereign Acts, and the Making of California."

Sussman's research maps how small Indigenous polities in California used relationships with human neighbors and the natural world to enact their sovereignty between 1769 and 1930. Indigenous peoples’ sovereign acts made the California interior into a Native heartland that survived and shaped four waves of Native and Euro-American invasion: first a Native confederacy on the Colorado River and the Spanish Empire, then Mexico and United States. Their story is an epic of Native power and adaptiveness in the face of enslavement and genocide. 

Join us for this Work-in-Progress Talk in the OHC Conference Room (Prince Lucien Campbell Hall 159) at noon on Fridays. These events are free and open to the public. Please register for this event online at ohc.uoregon.edu.

The Oregon Humanities Center hosts weekly Work-in-Progress Talks to showcase the humanities research of its many fellows. This week, Gonzalo Bustamante-Moya presents his research on "Capitalism, Indebted Subjects, and Latin American Critique(s)."

As capitalism has come to determine the organization of our societies and shared planet, humans have become distinctly capitalist beings. This project presents a history of capitalism that focuses on its effects in the ordinary existence of individuals and communities. By investigating how capitalist power governs us from within and exploring past and present efforts to resist it, this account contributes analytical and practical tools to collectively create a different form of living.

The Oregon Humanities Center hosts weekly Work-in-Progress Talks to showcase the humanities research of its many fellows. This week, Micah Jones presents her research on "The Price of Freedom: Race, Consumption, and the Long Black Freedom Struggle, 1915-1970."

Jones's project is a history of consumerism and civil rights activism in the Jim Crow South. She documents the discrimination Black shoppers faced in white-owned stores, and how they protested these practices. She also tracks how broader changes in the retail industry impacted Black consumers, in particular. For Black southerners, securing their civil rights was not enough. True freedom necessitated full and equal access to all realms of public life, from the polls to the produce aisle.
