SUMMARY:Talk by Mateo Jarquin\, "Managaua 1979\," Monday\, April 20\, 4 pm\, HSSB 4041
DESCRIPTION:Professor Mateo Jarquin of Chapman University will be giving a talk titled “Managua 1979: International and Transnational Origins of the Cold War’s Last Great Revolution.”  \n \n\nAfter the Cuban Revolution\, armed movements across Latin America embraced violent struggle as a path to social transformation. Yet only one managed to seize power: Nicaragua’s Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN). Their unlikely victory in July 1979 gripped the world’s attention and ignited a major hotspot in the late Cold War. \nHow did it happen? Drawing from his book The Sandinista Revolution: A Global Latin American History\, Mateo Jarquín recounts the fall of the U.S.-backed dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza. The story unfolds not only inside Nicaragua and in Washington but across Latin America\, where the rebel FSLN was embedded in a regional web of state and non‑state actors conspiring to isolate Somoza\, challenge U.S. influence\, and ultimately bring about the last major left‑wing revolution of the 20th century. \nMateo Jarquín is Assistant Professor of History and Director of the Master’s Program in War\, Diplomacy\, and Society at Chapman University. His research explores the intersection of democracy\, revolutions\, and international relations in modern Latin America. He is the author of The Sandinista Revolution: A Global Latin American History (University of North Carolina Press\, 2024)\, which received the 2025 Michael H. Hunt Prize in International History from the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. Articles from this research agenda have appeared in journals such as Cold War History and The Americas: A Quarterly Review of Latin American History. Alongside his historical work\, he writes regularly about contemporary Central American politics. Originally from Nicaragua\, Jarquín holds a PhD from Harvard University and a BA from Grinnell College. \n\nThe event is sponsored by the Center for Cold War Studies and International History and the UCSB Department of History. It is free and open to the public. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture 2026 : "Reading Galileo's Letters:  Experiments in Friendship\, Knowledge\, and Community" by Paula Findlen
DESCRIPTION:Paula Findlen\, Ubalto Pierotti Professor in History and Italian Studies at Stanford University will be delivering The Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture of 2026. Her talk will be on Tuesday\, January 27 at 4:30 pm in the McCune Room\, HSSB 6020. Her talk is titled:\n“Reading Galileo’s Letters:  Experiments in Friendship\, Knowledge\, and Community”\n \nAbstract:\nGalileo’s letters are an essential archive for understanding his life and work\, but what exactly was their role in the evolution and presentation of his science?  This talk explores the instrumental role of Galileo’s letters in the production and communication of scientific knowledge and the evolution of the scientific community with which he engaged.  It also explores the role of letters in the controversies surrounding his science and discusses why we should see Galileo’s letters as one of his important experiments.

SUMMARY:Annual Gender + Sexualities Graduate Student Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:9:00 – 10:00 – SESSION A (Presenter will Zoom) \nGiulia Giamboni\, History\, UC Santa Barbara  \n“Pelegrina de Saladino: Mother\, Sister\, Patroness\, and Business Woman” \nThis is chapter 2 of my dissertation “Gender\, Charity\, and Empire in the Late Medieval Eastern Mediterranean.” By investigating the life of fourteenth-century Pelegrina de Saladinis\, the chapter explores the complex intersections between gender\, politics\, and empire in the cross-cultural context of late medieval Zadar (Croatia). A widow with a husband killed in a local uprising  and a brother exiled\, living in a city ravaged by two centuries of colonial dominion and by the Black death\, Pelegrina managed to construct a powerful network turning into a key figure in the social fabric of Zadar. She became a trusted testamentary executor for local powerful families\, she endowed and renovated a monastery for poor girls with lands and money\, she built a hospital for the poor\, and helped persecuted friars from Bosnia find a refuge in her city. Her foundations received the support of other Zaratin women revealing that these women identified with Pelegrina’s image. Pelegrina knew how to gain the trust of her fellow citizens and to navigate oppressive political regimes to provide concrete help to the need of her city. Pelegrina’s story of civic and political engagements in a colonized city challenges traditional narrative of women’s charitable giving. Her life demonstrates that women retooled pious practices of charitable giving to challenge the power of an outside political entity. Weaving close relationships with the local oligarchy\, granting lands and resources to religious institutions\, and caring for the poor and marginalized offered new and empowering opportunities to women to intervene in the daily life of the city and express their political standing. Pious practices did not constrain women’s individual and collective agency. Instead\, women’s charitable activities opened up spaces for performance of agency and emancipatory ends. \n  \n10:00 – 11:00 – SESSION B \nMakoto Hunter\, History\, UC Santa Barbara  \n“‘I Am Not a Criminal’: Mormon Women and the Federal Policing of Polygamous Wives in the Early Progressive Era” \nBy passing the 1882 Edmunds Antipolygamy Act and criminalizing the “unlawful cohabitation” of men and women not legally married\, the United States embarked on an unprecedented campaign of federal sexual reform targeting the nation’s most notorious “deviants”: the polygamous Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints\, or Mormons. On paper\, the Edmunds Act specifically targeted men as criminal polygamists\, implying women were victims. However\, as federal agents sought convictions\, their attention turned from polygamist men as defendants to plural wives as potential witnesses. Antipolygamy prosecutors considered the bodily presence of a plural wife—or\, better yet\, the visible evidence of her pregnancy—an ideal smoking gun to prove unlawful cohabitation. Federal marshals went out of their way to subpoena plural wives to testify against their husbands. Using diaries\, letters\, and other autobiographical material from plural wives\, this paper examines the state’s assertion of power over women’s bodies in the history of late-nineteenth-century antipolygamy. The paper also charts how these women responded\, whether by claiming a right to bodily privacy from the witness stand\, theorizing the disciplinary purpose of incarceration from prison\, or recognizing federal authorities’ surveillance of them in the professed privacy of their communities and homes. Looking back to antipolygamy reveals an unexpected predecessor to early-twentieth-century anti-prostitution legislation\, which followed a similar arc of ostensibly prosecuting men’s sexuality by policing women’s bodies—as well as to the contemporary crisis over a woman’s legal right to make choices about her own body and have sexual and reproductive autonomy. \n  \n11:00 – 11:15 – NUTRITION BREAK \n  \n11:15 – 12:15 – SESSION C \nAlice Fulmer\, English\, UC Santa Barbara  \n“The T4T Gift Economy and Antagonisms in the Middle English Romance of Sir Launfal” \nCurrent discourse and parlance around “t4t” (trans for trans relationships)\, involves speculation what such relationships mean in terms of compulsory heterosexuality\, conceptions of queerness\, ideas about passing\, and trans tenderness\, but also perceiving an unassuming pair of two things or people and tongue-in-cheek claiming they’re “t4t”. While contemporary queer theory and concepts like “t4t” are anachronistic to such canons such as the Middle English romance tradition\, a “t4t” framework may be helpful in uncovering instances of gender non-conformity relative to the 13th and 14th centuries. Romances such as Thomas Chestre’s translative Sir Launfal (a translation of 12thc. Marie de France) exhibit romantic and platonic relationships as central loci in their texts from which a certain ‘t4t’ affect is derived. Without trans language as one knows in the 21st century\, ‘t4t’ can be impressed onto the relationship and parasocial objects. While taking inspiration from the work of Sara Ahmed and her generation of affect theorists\, this paper carves a path between more traditional (re: heterosexual) medieval literary studies\, queer theory/terminology\, and the other aforementioned theories. Looking at central characters and their relationships’ dynamics from the Middle English romance tradition provides a means\, not a history\, from which ‘t4t’ can be understood as a framework to measure affect between individuals who exhibit gender non conformity and how this is impressed and interned into objects they interact or transfer personal affect into. In brief\,  these gender affirmations and antagonisms propel the narrative’s resolution to demonstrate how they embody the genre of Middle English romance in the late medieval period.  Consider this an inquiry into the bandwidth that a romance like Sir Launfal has exploring t4t discourse as present in contemporary transgender studies\, along with key excerpts from the fields of etymology\, literary history\, and whatever is left of philology. \n  \n12: 15 – 1:00 – LUNCH  \n  \n1:00 – 2:00 – SESSION D \nKristina Kelehan\, History\, UC Santa Barbara  \n“Spying Homosexuals: An Analysis of the Vassall Affair and Representations\, Ideas\, and the Politics of Gay Men in Britain during the Cold War \nWhile it is well known that some of the most famous British spies working for the Soviet Union during the Cold War were gay men\, much work on this history is written by journalists for popular audiences. My work focuses on a less sensational story but one that is no less important for what it reveals about the politics of queer history in twentieth-century Britain. I am studying the life of John Vassall\, a gay man who worked for the British Civil Service and was blackmailed by the Soviet Union starting in 1955. He passed key information to the Soviets until his arrest in 1962. A public scandal at the time\, my research examines how the British public reacted to the scandal but also how and why his story disappeared from the public eye and has not received historical attention. \n  \n2:00 – 3:00 – SESSION E \nKristen Thomas-McGill\, History\, UC Santa Barbara  \n“A Case Study of Celebrity\, Scottishness\, and Masculinity in the Victorian Empire” \nThis is Chapter 1 of a five-chapter dissertation\, “‘Now I am Going to Tell You about Sir Hector Macdonald’: A Cultural Biography of Memorialization and Child Sexual Abuse in the British Empire.” It traces Hector Macdonald’s extraordinary rise through the ranks from private to major-general\, attending to the events of Macdonald’s life and media depictions of him. I show how the late 19th-century print media fashioned Macdonald into a celebrity symbol of Scottish martial masculinity\, a particularly salient figure at a time when Britons worried about the fitness of their men in the face of imperial challenges. This chapter is both a biography and a critical analysis of biography as a historical source. Victorian media depictions of Macdonald’s life story are replete with inaccuracies\, offering opportunities to consider the tensions and concordances among biography\, mythmaking\, journalistic errors\, and plain lies. \n  \n3:00 – 3:15 – NUTRITION BREAK  \n  \n3:15 – 4:15 – SESSION F (Presenter will Zoom) \nKelsey Wight\, History\, UC Santa Barbara  \nViolets & Roses\, Betony\, & Borage: Italian Women as Apothecaries  \nIn this paper\, I will argue that gender played a crucial and oftentimes restricting role in women’s apothecarial practice in early modern Italy\, but that it also produced “zones of sociability” and new opportunities for women such as becoming a public figurehead\, an author of natural science\, or even a saint. The history of science has often marginalized the contributions of women to early modern science and excluded them from discourse concerning natural philosophy. I seek to center the contributions of early modern women and place them\, as active participants\, within early modern natural philosophy. My central research questions include: How widespread was apothecarial practice within cloistered Italian convents and in the lay public marketplace? How does the Inquisition/Counter-Reformation in Italy factor into how women practiced the apothecarial arts? And how do the apothecary practices of nuns differ from lay women in early modern Italy? I will use the concepts investigated in this research paper to develop my MA thesis and eventual dissertation. \n  \n4:15 – 6:00 – KEYNOTE & HAPPY HOUR \nDr. Candice Lyons\,  2022-2023 Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow  \nDepartment of Black Studies\, UC Santa Barbara  \n“Queering Slavery: Staging Queer Re-Examinations of the Archive”

SUMMARY:Cold War Working Group Workshop | Nick Cohen "Forging an International Backstop: Commercial Banking\, Foreign Policy\, and the Empowerment of the IMF\, 1973-1981" | Mar 4\, 11 AM
DESCRIPTION:When: Saturday\, March 4\, 11 AM to 12:30 PM \nWhere: West Campus Point Faculty Housing Community’s Outdoor Plaza \nThe Center for Cold War Studies and International History (CCWS) and the Cold War Working Group (CWWG) will host an in-person workshop at the West Campus Point faculty housing community’s outdoor plaza. We will be reading and discussing a paper\, “Forging an International Backstop: Commercial Banking\, Foreign Policy\, and the Empowerment of the IMF\, 1973-1981\,” by Nick Cohen\, a doctoral candidate in the UCSB history department.  \nAbstract: How were the practice and image of commercial banking reinvented alongside the expansion and empowerment of the International Monetary Fund in the decade preceding the global debt crisis of the 1980s? Historians of both business and foreign relations in the 1970s have rightly emphasized the instrumental role played by the Oil Shocks in facilitating the resurgence of global finance and remaking the global balance of power in an era of interdependence. Examining the history of US commercial banking alongside the rise of the IMF\, this paper argues that global financialization was also contingent upon a sort of Polanyian double-movement\, in which the explosion in the size and power of private international capital markets relied on the concurrent empowerment of the international institution meant to backstop such lending. In the wake of the first oil shock\, commercial banks doubled down on the lucrative new business of lending to developing nations in the global south and eastern bloc eager for funds to cope with ballooning balance-of-payments deficits. In response to this same balance-of-payments problem\, the IMF began to increase in size and capability through the introduction and gradual expansion of the so-called “Witteveen Facility.” By examining political debates in the United States concerning the regulation of international finance this paper demonstrates that for US policymakers questions over US contributions to the IMF and the role of private American banks overseas were often one in the same. By the end of the 1970s\, moreover\, commercial bankers had become some of the most vocal advocates for expanding IMF resources. By examining archival material from the Carter administration and the IMF\, the papers of notorious Citibank chief Walter Wriston\, and congressional records\, this paper straddles the line between political economy and diplomatic history. \n  \nThe CWWG is a collaborative\, graduate student-led group designed to provide a supportive\, welcoming environment for graduate students working on or around the Cold War and international history. CWWG workshops provide an occasion for graduate students\, faculty\, and others to join together as peers to read and provide feedback on scholarly work in progress (dissertation chapters\, journal articles\, conference papers\, etc.) by members of our community. We strongly encourage other UCSB graduate students and faculty members to consider submitting their own work for discussion in future workshops.

SUMMARY:IHC RFG Talk | Lee Vinsel | US Policymaking and the Promises of Technology in the 1990S’ “New Economy”
DESCRIPTION:On April 5th\, 2000\, President William Clinton stepped to the microphone at the White House Conference on the New Economy and told those gathered that the United States was experiencing “an economic transformation as profound as that that led us into the industrial revolution.” The 1990s was a heady moment for chatter about technological change\, especially around personal computers and the Internet. Microsoft CEO Bill Gates predicted Business @ the Speed of Thought\, as one of his book titles put it\, and Wired writer Kevin Kelly argued that the Internet would lead to the dematerialization of the economy. This “irrational exuberance” would eventually end in the dot com bust\, but not before members of the Clinton administration used projections around “the New Economy” to justify a number of decisions that would have far-reaching ramifications\, including policies around telecommunications\, labor and trade\, education and training\, student loans\, and economic\, racial\, and gender inequality. \nIn this talk\, Lee Vinsel will build on recent work on the history of the Clinton White House and political economy\, including Margaret O’Mara’s The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America and Nelson Lichtenstein and Judith Stein’s forthcoming\, A Fabulous Failure: The Clinton Presidency and the Transformation of American Capitalism. Vinsel will ask what can be gained for this literature by focusing on technology\, both the actual material change taking place in the 1990s and\, perhaps most importantly\, the ideas and fantasies surrounding the concept “technology\,” which greatly outpaced reality. \nLee Vinsel is Associate Professor of Science\, Technology and Society at Virginia Tech. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:History and Political Economy Colloquium  | "Business of pleasure" | Julie Johnson and Erika Rappaport
DESCRIPTION:HISTORY AND POLITICAL ECONOMY COLLOQUIUM\nJulie Johnson and Erika Rappaport: \n“The business of pleasure”\n\nThe colloquium offers a forum for open\, substantive discussions on how to approach political economy from a historical perspective; how to grapple with and benefit from the epistemological diversity surrounding political economy; and how a historical take on political economy can help contextualize and address urgent contemporary issues. For that purpose\, we will center our own research and put our work into conversation across geographical\, chronological\, and field boundaries.\n \nAt our second meeting\, participants will engage with the work of Professor Erika Rappaport and Julie Johnson\, and discuss the “business of pleasure”.\n \nTo obtain copies of the pre-circulated materials\, please write to mcovo@history.ucsb.edu.\n \nErika Rappaport is a European cultural historian\, interested in the history of gender and consumer cultures in Modern Britain and its Empire. She studies how the history of consumption and commodities were integral to the construction of identities\, politics\, and economies in the 19th and 20th centuries. She is the author of Shopping for Pleasure: Women in the Making of London’s West End (Princeton\, 2000) and the award-winning A Thirst for Empire: How Tea Shaped the Modern World (Princeton\, 2017).\n \nJulie Johnson is a doctoral candidate in UCSB’s History program. Her research examines the “social life” of the cervical cap contraceptive as a commodity\, tracing its circulation throughout Britain and its empire from 1918-1939. Her work blurs the boundaries of medicine and commerce\, complicates conceptions of “female entrepreneurship\,” and interrogates nationalistic constructions of reproductive “fitness” in the early twentieth century.

SUMMARY:FOCAL POINT Dialogues in History Keynote Lecture with Prof. Herman Bennett: "Body\, Soul & Subject: A History of Difference in the Early-Modern African Atlantic"
DESCRIPTION:The History Department’s Colloquium Committee warmly invites you to attend the keynote lecture of our FOCAL POINT Dialogues in History series. The lecture\, “Body\, Soul & Subject: A History of Difference in the Early-Modern African Atlantic\,” will be delivered by Prof. Herman L. Bennett. \nHerman L. Bennett is Professor at the Graduate Center at the City University of New York. A scholar of Latin American history and the African Diaspora\, Prof. Bennett’s previous books include Africans in Colonial Mexico: Absolutism\, Christianity\, and Afro-Creole Consciousness (2003)\, Colonial Blackness: A History of Afro-Mexico (2009)\, and the forthcoming The African Diaspora: A Very Short Introduction. His notable essays include “The Subject in the Plot: National Boundaries and the ‘History’ of the Black Atlantic\,” in African Studies Review (2000) and “Writing into a Void: Slavery\, History\, and Representing Blackness in Latin America” in Social Text (2007). He has been the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for Humanities\, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University\, and the American Council of Learned Societies. The American Historical Association recognized his mentorship of racially and ethnically underrepresented students in the historical discipline through the AHA Equity Award in 2012. Prof. Bennett has served on the editorial boards of the Hispanic American Historical Review\, Social Text\, The Americas\, the Blacks in the Diaspora series at Indiana University Press\, and the American Historical Review. \nProf. Bennett’s most recent book\, African Kings and Black Slaves: Sovereignty and Dispossession in the Early Modern Atlantic (2018) invites our attention to politics of sovereignty\, enslavement\, and power in the earliest Iberian and African interactions as a point of inquiry to critically rethink the ways in which liberalism has subsequently shaped analyses of culture\, economy\, and history. \nThe inaugural FOCAL POINT Dialogues in History series is inspired by the UCSB History Department’s Statement on the George Floyd Uprising and its invocation to understand and interrogate our racialized past and the investments of disciplinary history within it. Following three webinars led by History Department faculty and graduate students on topics like sovereignty\, the political\, liberation\, racial capitalism\, liberalism\, and empire\, from their own scholarly angles of vision\, the keynote lecture brings the series to a close and invites more conversations to be continued in the future. \nThe keynote lecture will use the Zoom webinar format. Prior registration is required. \nDate: Friday 21 May\, 2021 \nTime: 1:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada) \nKeynote Lecture: “Body\, Soul & Subject: A History of Difference in the Early-Modern African Atlantic” \nZoom registration: Please register in advance for this webinar using the link below: \nhttps://ucsb.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_RbHCtjyoS8S-l6vbTiFEzw

SUMMARY:Public History Colloquium Event–"The Queerness of Home: Public History and the Domestic Archive"
DESCRIPTION:Join the History Department’s Colloquium in Public History on Friday\, May 7 at noon for a Zoom talk by Stephen Vider (History\, Cornell University). \nHistories of queer and trans politics and culture have centered almost exclusively on public activism and spaces. Stephen Vider will discuss how his forthcoming book\, The Queerness of Home: Gender\, Sexuality\, and the Politics of Domesticity After World War II (University of Chicago Press\, October 2021) retells LGBT history from the inside out\, revealing how LGBT people mobilized home spaces as crucial sites of intimate connection\, care\, and cultural inclusion. He’ll focus particularly on the challenges and possibilities of uncovering queer domestic life both in The Queerness of Home and in his 2017 exhibition\, AIDS at Home: Art and Everyday Activism (Museum of the City of New York)—and how a focus on the domestic archive can reshape methods in public history. \nRegister for this event at http://bit.ly/queerness-home \nRecommended links: \nA Place in the City: Three Stories about AIDS at Home\, dir.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event–Dr. Sylvester Ogbechie\, “Godbearer: Yoruba Orisa\, Black Atlantic Modernisms and Afrofuturist Imaginaries”
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sylvester Ogbechie‘s work evaluates the resurgence of African gods in Black Atlantic modernisms\, contemporary media and Afrofuturist visualities. African deities are everywhere in contemporary culture from the Akan trickster god Anansi and numerous Yoruba Orisa in the American Gods TV series\, through images of the Kh’Met (Egyptian) goddess Bast in the Afrofuturist blockbuster movie Black Panther\, to the cyberspace narratives of William Gibson’s Sprawl trilogy that centered the Loa (gods) of the Haitian Vodun pantheon as primary characters. This resurgence corresponds to a return of discourses of spirituality in narratives of modernity and contemporary art practice. What is the meaning of this contemporary focus on African deities and how does it allow us to engage anew or reinterpret Black Atlantic arts that foreground African spiritual and cultural registers? \nJoin this Zoom event at tinyurl.com/isrrarTalk \nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Spring Quarter series.

SUMMARY:ISRRAR Event–Dr. Vincent Brown\, "Tacky's Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War"
DESCRIPTION:Warfare migrates. This has never been more apparent than in the era when the violence of imperial expansion and enslavement transformed Europe\, Africa\, and the Americas\, as they interacted across the Atlantic Ocean. European imperial conflicts extended the dominion of capitalist agriculture. African battles fed captives to the transatlantic trade in slaves. Masters and their human property struggled with one another continuously. These clashes amounted to a borderless slave war: war to enslave\, war to expand slavery\, and war against slaves\, precipitating wars waged by the enslaved against slaveholders. In this sense\, Dr. Vincent Brown argues\, Tacky’s revolt was but a war within other wars\, which had diverging and overlapping provocations\, combat zones\, political alliances\, and enemy combatants. \nJoin this Zoom event at tinyurl.com/isrrarTalk \nThis event is part of the ISRRAR Spring Quarter series.
