DESCRIPTION:Assistant Professor of Political Science at UCSB\, Alfredo Gonzalez will speak on “An American Promise: 20th Century US Military Naturalization.” \nDespite widespread recognition that modern social welfare programs stem from the protections pledged to war veterans\, commitments from Congress to naturalize immigrant service members and veterans are absent in debates on the military social safety net. Legal historians have shown that after World War I\, veterans’ organizations were instrumental in pressuring Congress to grant citizenship to racially ineligible war veterans\, but we know less about whether veterans’ organizations have since considered naturalization a military benefit worth protecting. I explore the boundaries of military social welfare between WWI and the War on Terror\, when military naturalization policy significantly changed from guaranteeing legal citizenship to merely expediting an immigrant’s ability to apply for naturalization. Understanding the development of military naturalization policy and its relationship to military welfare requires tracing how the process unfolded to reveal the extent\, if at all\, decision makers and veterans view political incorporation as part of the repertoire of protected benefits. \n \n  \n  \n  URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/history-associates-talk-alfredo-gonzalez-an-american-promise-20th-century-us-military-naturalization/ LOCATION:Vista Del Monte\, 3775 Modoc Rd\, Santa Barbara\, 3775 Modoc Rd.\, Santa Barbara CATEGORIES:History Associates,Public Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=application/pdf:https://history.ucsb.edu/wp-content/uploads/UCSB-HA-Nov-2025-flier.pdf END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240508T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240508T190000 DTSTAMP:20260602T082315 CREATED:20240418T193623Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240419T203102Z UID:10002994-1715187600-1715194800@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Van Gelderen Lecture 2024 - "Protect the One Who Carries You": Amulets and Daily Life in Roman Egypt DESCRIPTION:Evan Andersson will present this year’s Van Gelderen Lecture\,  \n“‘Protect the One Who Carries You’: Amulets and Daily Life in Roman Egypt” \nOn Wednesday\, May 8\, 2024 at 5:00pm \nIn the McCune Room\, HSSB 6020 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/van-gelderen-2024-protect-the-one-who-carries-you/ LOCATION:HSSB 6020 (McCune Room)\, University of California Santa Barbara\, Santa Barbara\, CA\, 93106\, United States CATEGORIES:Graduate Program,History Associates,Public Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://history.ucsb.edu/wp-content/uploads/UCSB-HA-spring-2024-Instagram.png GEO:34.4142938;-119.8474306 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=HSSB 6020 (McCune Room) University of California Santa Barbara Santa Barbara CA 93106 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=University of California Santa Barbara:geo:-119.8474306,34.4142938 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240424T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240424T193000 DTSTAMP:20260602T082315 CREATED:20230929T202335Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240418T192248Z UID:10002971-1713979800-1713987000@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Women and Revolution: War\, Violence\, and Family Separations Across the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands DESCRIPTION:Verónica Castillo-Muñoz will give a talk called: \n“Women and Revolution: War\, Violence\, and Family Separations Across the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands.” \nOn April 24 at 5:30pm \nAt Alhecama Theater\, 215 E.

Almost two millennia later\, we may not be surprised that Constantine promoted an image of himself as a Christian military commandant. Nevertheless\, this image is strikingly opposed to the previous conception of the Christian hero\, that of the martyr\, a person known for enduring—not promoting—violence. This talk will explore why\, despite its novelty\, this new image of the emperor became one reason for Constantine’s long and ultimately stable reign. The longevity of this image\, in fact\, is testimony to its success\, as European monarchs from Charlemagne to Elizabeth I all strove to be the “new Constantine.” \nElizabeth DePalma Digeser is a professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara and a leading authority on early Christian thought. Her focus is on the intersection of religion and philosophy with Roman politics and the process of religious conversion in late antiquity. Digeser is the author of The Making of a Christian Empire: Lactantius and Rome (2000) and A Threat to Public Piety: Christians\, Platonists\, and the Great Persecution (2012)\, which explores the interactions of Platonist philosophers and Christian theologians leading up to the Great Persecution of 303-311 CE. \nDate: Sunday\, April 16\, 2023 \nTime:  2:00 PM \nVenue: Goleta Valley Library\, Multipurpose Room 500 N.

Insisting that alcohol potency alone did not determine intoxication\, this anti-prohibitionist coalition promoted new understandings of pleasure and risk that have long since influenced how alcohol is regulated and sold in the United States.\nLisa Jacobson is an Associate Professor of History at UC Santa Barbara. She hopes that her book Fashioning New Cultures of Drink: The Reinvention of Wine\, Beer\, and Whiskey after Prohibition will be available for pre-order by the 91st anniversary of beer’s re-legalization.\n \nDownload the flyer here: Potent Politics of Weak Brews_2.24 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/history-associates-potent-politics/ LOCATION:Draughstmen Aleworks\, University of California Santa Barbara\, Santa Barbara\, CA\, 93106\, United States CATEGORIES:Academic Calendar,Book Talk,History Associates,Public Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://history.ucsb.edu/wp-content/uploads/Potent-Politics-of-Weak-Brews_draft_2.24-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230226T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230226T153000 DTSTAMP:20260602T082315 CREATED:20230215T222126Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230215T222126Z UID:10002929-1677420000-1677425400@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:History Associates Talk | Patricia Cline Cohen | "What the Dobbs decision got wrong about the history of 19th-century abortion."

Taking one plant genus\, that modern botany labels cannabis\, this talk explores how and why we should embrace the contiguity between human and nonhuman life as a basic condition for narrating history itself. In British India\, across the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries\, different forms of cannabis substances animated the history of working classes\, gender\, race\, rural communities\, and state formation in heterogeneous ways that also echoed the complex biochemistry and psychoactive variability of cannabis intoxicants. To understand the unfolding of modern British imperialism\, the ways in which cannabis straddled its statuses as plant\, commodity\, substance\, form\, and matter can be crucial as it sheds important light on histories that have so far either remained out of focus or simply segregated from one another because of how colonial administrations produced categories to govern colonized spaces. This talk will introduce such histories and why and how they matter before suggesting what they contribute to the ongoing efforts of scholars to attend to the ways in which the supposed boundaries between humans\, other species\, and their environments have in fact remained thoroughly porous and vulnerable. \nUtathya Chattopadhyaya is Assistant Professor in the UCSB History Department. \nClick here for the poster URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/history-associates-talk-plant-life-and-imperialism-utathya-chattopadhyaya/ LOCATION:Santa Barbara Eastside Branch Library\, 1102 E Montecito St\, Santa Barbara\, CA\, 93103\, United States CATEGORIES:History Associates END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221019T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20221019T173000 DTSTAMP:20260602T082315 CREATED:20220921T203448Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221026T183728Z UID:10002381-1666200600-1666200600@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:History Associates: "Prioritizing the Preservation of Black Legacies in Santa Barbara" DESCRIPTION:This presentation will walk through Santa Barbara’s recently completed African American Historic Context Statement on how the built history of a community plays a role in helping uplift African-American and Black people today. This is a unique collaboration of social justice leaders and historic preservation specialists in Santa Barbara who worked to compile Santa Barbara’s Black history—one overlooked for decades. The historic context statement examines the history of Santa Barbara’s African-American and Black community through historic buildings. It identifies buildings and sites important to the community that can now be designated and protected as historic resources. The lecture will highlight the many contributions of people of African American and Black people in Santa Barbara\, beginning in the Spanish and Mexican periods through the postwar fight for civil rights. Co-presented by Sojourner Kincaid Rolle of Healing Justice SB and Nicole Hernandez\, Architectural Historian for the City of Santa Barbara. \nSpeakers: Sojourner Kincaid Rolle and Nicole Hernandez \nPlease see the enclosed flyer for more information. \nFree and open to the public.

The city was hardly the artistic and cultural backwater we had imagined: instead\, as Julian Gardner writes\, it was a crucible for the arts.  This talk will set out some of those finds.  The Aula Gotica frescoes are just one fascinating example. In the 1240s a cardinal constructed a Gothic palace attached to a convent\, with a grand reception hall decorated with innovative secular paintings of extraordinary quality. The Virtues are personified by monumental women dressed in helmets and chain mail\, each with a virtuous figure perched on her shoulder and the corresponding vice under her feet. The months are depicted with beautifully composed scenes of seasonal labors. Because the paintings were plastered over in the early fourteenth century and only discovered and restored in the last few decades\, the bright color and elegant brushwork survives. They should lead to a reevaluation of the narrative of early Renaissance painting.  \nCarol Lansing is a historian of medieval Italy who is currently researching elite culture in southern Lazio. \nThe event will be in-person and also live-streamed via Zoom.

Engineer versus artist? We often see two different cultural realms separated by impervious walls. But some fifty years ago\, the borders between technology and art began to be breached. In this talk UCSB history professor (and former engineer) W. Patrick McCray shows how in this era\, artists eagerly collaborated with engineers and scientists to explore new technologies and create visually and sonically compelling multimedia works. Today\, we are in the midst of a new surge of corporate and academic promotion of projects and programs combining art\, technology\, and science. Making Art Work reveals how artists and technologists have continually constructed new communities in which they exercise imagination\, display creative expertise\, and pursue commercial innovation. \nZoom link: ucsb.zoom.us/j/6855143149 URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/history-associates-patrick-mccray-making-art-work-artists-and-engineers-in-the-age-of-apollo/ LOCATION:Zoom\, CA CATEGORIES:History Associates ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://history.ucsb.edu/wp-content/uploads/Making-Art-Work.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210410T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210410T173000 DTSTAMP:20260602T082315 CREATED:20210403T203343Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230203T154756Z UID:10002866-1618070400-1618075800@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:What Really Happened at Waco? DESCRIPTION:The 51-day standoff between the FBI and David Koresh’s Branch \nDavidians ended in tragedy on April 19\, 1993. A fire consumed \nthe Branch Davidian compound during an FBI tear gas operation \nthat morning\, resulting in 75 deaths. To this day conspiracy \ntheories about Waco continue motivating anti-government and \nother militia movements in the United States. Join us for an inside \nlook at what really happened during the 51-day standoff between \nthe FBI and the Branch Davidians\, featuring former federal \nprosecutor Steve Zipperstein\, who served as Counselor to \nAttorney General Janet Reno during the Waco congressional \nhearings. \nSteve Zipperstein teaches at UCSB\, UCLA and Tel Aviv University. He served as a federal prosecutor in Los Angeles and at the Justice Department in Washington\, D.C. from 1987 to 1996. Former Attorney General Janet Reno appointed Zipperstein to co-lead the original Justice Department after-action investigation regarding the events at Waco. She also assigned Zipperstein to serve as her and the Justice Department’s lawyer for the Waco congressional hearings following the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. Following his government career\, Zipperstein served as the Chief Legal Officer for Verizon Wireless and BlackBerry Ltd. \n  URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/what-really-happened-at-waco/ LOCATION:https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/6855143149\, University of California Santa Barbara\, Santa Barbara\, CA\, 93106\, United States CATEGORIES:Academic Calendar,History Associates ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://history.ucsb.edu/wp-content/uploads/image-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210314T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210314T160000 DTSTAMP:20260602T082315 CREATED:20210226T061631Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230203T154814Z UID:10002861-1615737600-1615737600@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:8th Annual Van Gelderen Lecture: Sasha Coles\, “The Great Silk Experiment: Silkworms\, Mulberry Trees\, and Women Workers in Mormon Country\, 1850s-1910s” DESCRIPTION:UCSB History Associates presents the eighth annual Van Gelderen Graduate Student Lecture\, this year given by Dr. Sasha Coles. \nFrom the 1850s to the early 1900s\, Latter-Day Saint (or Mormon) women in both rural and urban Great Basin settlements planted mulberry trees\, raised silkworms\, and attempted to produce silk cocoons\, thread\, and cloth of a high-enough quality to use and sell. By most measurements\, they failed. Homegrown silk was time-consuming\, onerous\, and practically impossible to profit from\, primarily due to superior imported goods from Europe and Asia. Even so\, this talk will show how the homegrown silk industry provided Mormon women with a venue to make their own money\, shape transnational labor and commodity markets\, and understand ever-changing environmental conditions. In these and other ways\, Mormon women used silk production and consumption to resolve tensions between economic cooperation and competition\, market isolation and integration\, and religious exceptionalism and American citizenship. \nOur speaker\, Sasha Coles\, defended her UCSB Ph.D. dissertation successfully in February 2021. She received her M.A. from UCSB in 2015 and her B.A. from Arizona State University in 2013. Her publications include two articles in historical journals\, and she has developed a website on the Walt Disney theme parks. \nThe Zoom link for this year’s Van Gelderen Lecture is https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/6855143149.

Legally a man could divorce his wife but a wife could not divorce her husband. Nevertheless\, she persisted in the face of his adamant refusal to divorce her. Soon her relatives mobilized their social networks to convince his relatives to pressure him to give her a divorce\, but he still refused. Eventually most samurai in her lord’s domain in southwestern Japan were working to get her a divorce and even the lord became involved in supporting what she had no legal right to demand\, and threatened the well-being of the husband’s kin group. \nFinally\, the husband divorced her. His angry kin put him in a cage in his backyard where he was forced to live for some months. No formal record survives\, but a detailed diary of the process made by one relative of his house who played an important role in the negotiations reveals much about gender roles\, family networks and common disjunctures between law-as-written and law-as-it-operated.

As private sources of communication hidden from public consumption and historical research\, the letters provide a rare glimpse into the deeply emotional\, personal\, and social lives of ordinary Mexican men and women as recorded in their immediate\, firsthand accounts. Chávez-García demonstrates not only how migrants struggled to maintain their sense of humanity in el norte but also how those remaining at home made sense of their changing identities in response to the loss of loved ones who sometimes left for weeks\, months\, or years at a time\, or simply never returned. \nPlease register for this Zoom event in advance at this link.
