A talk by the author, Allen James Fromherz
World history began in the Persian Gulf. The ancient port cities that dotted its coastlines created the first global seaboard, a place from where faiths and cultures from around the world set sail and made contact. More than a history, The Center of the World shows us that contradictions that define our modern age have always been present.
For over four thousand years, the Gulf—sometimes called the Persian Gulf, sometimes the Arabian Gulf—has been a global crossroads while managing to avoid control by the world’s greatest empires. In its history, we see a world of rapid change, fluctuating centers of trade, a dependency on uncertain global markets, and intense cross-cultural encounters that hold a mirror to the contemporary world. Focusing each chapter on a different port around the Gulf, The Center of the World shows how the people of the Gulf adapted to larger changes in world history, creating a system of free trade, merchant rule, and commerce that continues to define the region today.

To think through soil is to engage with some of the most critical issues of our time. In addition to its agricultural role in feeding eight billion people, soil has become the primary agent of carbon storage in global climate models, and it is crucial for biodiversity, flood control, and freshwater resources. Perhaps no other material is asked to do so much for the human environment, and yet our basic conceptual model of what soil is and how it works remains surprisingly vague.
In cities, soil occupies a blurry category whose boundaries are both empirically uncertain and politically contested. Soil functions as a nexus for environmental processes through which the planet’s most fundamental material transformations occur, but conjuring what it actually is serves as a useful exercise in reframing environmental thought, design thinking, and city and regional planning toward a healthier, more ethical, and more sustainable future.
Through a sustained analysis of the world’s largest wastewater agricultural system, located in the Mexico City–Mezquital hydrological region, Thinking Through Soil imagines what a better environmental future might look like in central Mexico. More broadly, this case study offers a new image of soil that captures its shifting identity, explains its profound importance to rural and urban life, and argues for its capacity to save our planet.

Join the Department of History and John Leisure, University of Oregon, for a talk on “Public Housing in Postwar Japan, 1945-1960."
Tuesday, June 3rd 4:00 pm EMU Cedar & Spruce Rooms (231 & 232) Free and open to the public.
This talk examines how large-scale public apartment complexes reshaped the contours of everyday life in Japan after World War II. Emerging out of experimental projects in the late 1940s, public apartments—colloquially known as danchi—became visible markers of postwar rehousing and domestic reform. Spurred by government money with strings attached to design objectives, these concrete projects touched scores of cities throughout the archipelago. By 1960, danchi apartments already functioned as residential urban infrastructure operating in a biopolitical mode. Danchi housing projects promoted productivist publics, privatized domestic space, and rationalized communities in an effort to establish a new postwar paradigm: governance through dwelling.

Presented by the Oregon Humanities Center
Lanie Millar, associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese, and Fabienne Moore, associate professor of French, collaborated on a newly published book The Revolution Will Be a Poetic Act: African Culture and Decolonization (Polity, 2024), a translation of essays and speeches by prolific anticolonial writer, poet, and politician Mário Pinto de Andrade. The two scholars will give the Oregon Humanities Center’s Spring Wine Chat.
Born in Angola during Portuguese colonial rule, Mário Pinto de Andrade (1928–1990) was one Africa’s most important 20th-century intellectuals who wrote in French, Portuguese, and Spanish. In 1956, he founded the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola but was exiled after independence was achieved in 1975. He never returned.
As anti-colonial movements got underway in the mid-twentieth century, Andrade wrote extensively about the urgent necessity for Africans to turn away from European cultural and political models, arguing that communities emerging from colonization should focus on voices from within, on self-representation, and on horizontal relationships among Black, African, and decolonizing peoples. Andrade played a key role in theorizing the international reach of revolutionary 20th-century poetry and literature, Black cultural vindication, and African liberation.
When asked how this project came about, Millar shared, “My initial thought was that I was going to translate five of his introductions to anthologies. Then as I kept digging, I realized there was much, much more material, and a significant amount of material in French. I thought the picture of his intellectual production would be incomplete if I just focused on Portuguese, and I approached Fabienne to collaborate.”
“When you research and teach a multilingual, transnational revolutionary figure,” says Moore, “you are educating students about values, actions and modes of writing. The knowledge that this thinker existed, this is how they carried out their actions, this is how the work was perceived by his contemporaries, it provides an educational impact that is huge.”
Along with the translated essays and speeches, the book includes a foreword by Millar and an interview with Andrade’s two daughters, who are guardians of his work. This work is particularly relevant not only to scholars of African decolonization movements but to anyone engaged in contemporary conversations about race, belonging, and political community.
The Wine Chat is free and open to the public. Beverages are available for purchase and a food cart is on the premises of Capitello Wines. There is ample parking at Banner Bank across the street. Please register at ohc.uoregon.edu
