Dr. Gabi Kirk explains the U.S. soldiers at the Arboretum, on Hello Davis!, May 27, 2026

Wed, 05/27/2026 - 5:30pm | Pieter Pastoor

hello-davis.png

Today on Hello Davis!, Dr. Gabi Kirk talks with David Abramson about our beloved Arboretum in Davis and its militarism in the past.

The Militarized Campus Arboretum research and teaching project explores the histories of everyday militarism hidden in plain sight at the University of California, Davis. From her website: "Our project aims to teach UC Davis campus affiliates, Davis community members, and visitors about the multiple militarized legacies of UC Davis and the land grant university as a whole. The research project was started to explore the use of UC Davis campus facilities as a training school for the Western Signal Corps School during World War II (1943-1944), but has expanded to analyze how U.S. imperialism overseas is intimately linked to domestic policing and settler colonialism."

You'll find more recent releases, including tracks by I'm With Her, Amy Speace, and Debi Smith -- whose recent album is the culmination of her career (the album subtitle is "Bitchin'Babe, Smith Sister, Hag," should that trigger listener memories).

You'll also hear tracks by The Real Sarahs, Locarno, and classics by Maura O' Connell, John Doyle, and others. So tune in for an hour at KDRT 95.7 FM and listen live online here...  It's temporary while the magicians work their magic with technology! Check it out!
