The rise of the Southern Pacific Railroad in California owes a great deal to the citrus industry and vice versa. Ben Jenkins joins the show to discuss how these two industries came to define the state during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era.Essential Reading:Benjamin Jenkins, The Octopus's Garden: How Railroads and Citrus Transformed Southern California (2023).Recommended Reading:Genevieve Carpio, Collisions at the Crossroads: How Place and Mobility Make Race (2019).Jared Farmer, Trees in Paradise: The Botanical Conquest of California (2017).

On March 13, 2020, UCLA moved to remote learning for spring quarter due to the coronavirus pandemic. The transition to remote education has posed unique challenges and opportunities for both students and faculty. In this episode, we discuss the faculty experience, and explore how students can make the most of their education during this time – and how families can help them do so. Dr. Genevieve Carpio is Assistant Professor of Chicana/o and Central American Studies, where she works on questions related to relational racial formation, the urban humanities, and 20th century U.S. history. She holds a PhD in American Studies and Ethnicity, a Masters in Urban Planning, and a graduate certificate in Historic Preservation. She has published in American Quarterly, Journal of American History, Journal of Urban Affairs, and Information, Communication and Society, among other venues. She currently serves on the editorial board of Geohumanities, a journal of the American Association of Geographers, and as a reviewer for several academic journals. Carpio is author of Collisions at the Crossroads: How Place and Mobility Make Race, which recently received the Owen's book award from the Western Historical Association. Dr. Alex Spokoyny is currently an Associate Professor in Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA and a faculty member of the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI). He received a Ph.D. from Northwestern University in inorganic and materials chemistry, and conducted a post-doctoral stint at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in chemical biology. His group's research encompasses an interdisciplinary approach focusing on pressing problems in chemistry, medicine and materials science with emphasis on developing new molecular cluster chemistry. Dr. Spokoyny is a recipient of multiple awards including the recent Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award (2020), and NSF CAREER Award (2019).

In her new book, Collisions at the Crossroads: How Place and Mobility Make Race (University of California Press, 2019), Professor Genevieve Carpio considers tensions around mobility and settlement in the 19th- and 20th-century American West, especially California’s Inland Empire. In this wide-ranging study, the first academic work to draw on the Inland Mexican Heritage archives, Carpio examines policies and forces as disparate as bicycle ordinances, immigration policy, incarceration, traffic checkpoints, and Route 66 heritage. She shows how regional authorities constructed racial hierarchies by allowing some people to move freely while placing limits on the mobility of others. Highlighting the ways that people of color have negotiated and resisted their positions within these systems, Carpio offers a compelling and original analysis of race through spatial mobility and the making of place. Carrie Lane is a Professor of American Studies at California State University, Fullerton and author of A Company of One: Insecurity, Independence, and the New World of White-Collar Unemployment (Cornell University Press, 2011). Her research concerns the changing nature of work in the contemporary U.S. She is currently writing a book on the professional organizing industry.
