She Who Knows: Resistance to Gendered Racialization in Early-19th-Century Ottoman Tunis and Present-day Reverberations
This lecture turns to the Ottoman province of Tunis, a terminus for trans-Saharan human trafficking in the late 18th and early 19th century, to center the lives of enslaved women forcibly conveyed to the province. It examines how the violence of slavery intersected with French economic intervention in the region as well as with emerging racial ideologies held by Tunisian and western African elites. This lecture critiques disembodied historical perspectives conventionally preserved in state archives, like those of the chief doctor to the Ottoman governor of Tunis.

Thirty Years of Chinese Transformation: the View from One Village
Carol Rifelj Lecture Series
Ellen has been engaged in fieldwork in one village in China since 1993, visiting periodically and writing two monographs based on that fieldwork (one on morality and one on food). Having just come back from fieldwork again this past sabbatical year, in this lecture she would like to take the long view and ask how the transformations, continuities and emerging contradictions she has observed can provide us a more microscopic and longitudinal understanding than we often get based on journalistic accounts or urban-based research.
