SUMMARY:Lecture: Fredrik Meiton\, “Electrical Palestine: Zionist and Arab Technopolitics Under the British Mandate”
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Fredrik Meiton \n“Electrical Palestine: Zionist and Arab Technopolitics Under the British Mandate” \n“Electrical Palestine: Zionist and Arab Technopolitics Under the British Mandate”\nLecture by Dr. Fredrik Meiton\, Assistant Professor of History at University of New Hampshire \nAt the dawn of the Arab-Israeli conflict\, both political power and electrical power were circulated through the electric grid that was built by the Zionist engineer Pinhas Rutenberg during the period of British rule from 1917 to 1948. This talk about the history and politics of electricity in Mandate Palestine and Israel charts a story of rapid and uneven Zionist and Palestinian development that was greatly influenced by the electric grid. \nProfessor Meiton is a historian of the modern Middle East.

He teaches courses in global and Middle Eastern history\, often with a focus on science\, technology\, energy and the environment. Professor Meiton has a B.A. in history from Lund University\, an M.Phil. in Middle East studies from St Antony’s College\, Oxford\, and a Ph.D. from New York University. Before taking up his position at UNH\, he was a postdoctoral fellow in the Science in Human Culture Program and Department of History at Northwestern University. Professor Meiton has published widely for scholarly and general audiences on a range of topics\, from electrification in Mandate Palestine to energy politics\, capitalism and political theory\, in publications that include Past & Present\, Comparative Studies in Society & History\, Response and Dissent. His most recent book is titled “Electrical Palestine: Capital and Technology from Empire to Nation” (University of California Press\, 2019). \nLocation:  UW Seattle – Student Union Building (HUB) Room 340 \nEvent Type: Lectures/Seminars \nSponsors: Department of History\nSamuel & Althea Stroum Center for Jewish Studies\nMiddle East Center\nHenry M.
