SUMMARY:Socio-Ecological Complexity in Coffee Agroecosystems
DESCRIPTION:Sanya Cowal from the UCSC Environmental Studies Department\nIn Person Location: ISB 221 \nZoom Link \nOne of the most pressing global challenges considers how to combine sustainable agricultural land use with biodiversity conservation. Agricultural systems have been dramatically transformed and intensified\, leading to the simplification of agricultural landscapes through increased agrochemical use\, landscape homogeneity\, decreased crop diversity\, and mechanization. All of these activities restructure the physical and social environment in which food systems are embedded. Market motivations overlook ecological costs\, including the loss of habitat complexity\, functional biodiversity\, and related ecosystem services\, such as biological pest control\, as well as socio-cultural costs\, such as the erasure of traditional agroecosystems. The coffee agroecosystem is one system in which management intensification negatively impacts functional biodiversity and ecosystem services. In this talk\, I explore how socio-ecological complexity informs coffee farm management\, habitat complexity\, and subsequent outcomes for biodiversity\, ecosystem services\, and equitable supply chain governance.

SUMMARY:History of Science Lecture with Jennifer Derr
DESCRIPTION:World Wounds: The Damming of the Nile River and the Transformation of Medicine\nThe damming of the Nile River transformed agriculture and human health in 20th-century Egypt. While dams enabled year-round irrigation and provided hydroelectricity\, the prevalence of parasitic disease also skyrocketed. Professor Derr explores the effects of damming the Nile on the health of Egyptians and the impact of large-scale environmental transformation on the knowledge and practice that made medicine during the 20th century. \nRegister to attend in-person or virtual\nIn Person Reception: 5:30 p.m.\nLecture 6 p.m.\nIn-person and virtual\nFree and open to the public\nParking is $6 \n  \nThe 2026 Nauenberg History of Science Lecture is presented by the UC Santa Cruz Emeriti Association and co-sponsored by the Center for the Middle East and North Africa\, History Department\, Humanities Division\, Environmental Studies Department\, Science and Justice Research Center\, and The Humanities Institute. \n  \n  \n \nJennifer Derr is an associate professor in the History Department at UC Santa Cruz. Her first book\, The Lived Nile: Environment\, Disease\, and Material Colonial Economy in Egypt\, won the Middle East Political Economy Book Prize. In 2019\, the National Science Foundation awarded Derr a History of Science at the Interface of Biomedical and Environmental Concerns CAREER grant to support her research. In 2024-25\, she was a fellow at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute.
