SUMMARY:"Censorship\, Politics\, and the Making of a Literary Classic"\, a talk by Carlos Aguirre at the Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next meeting of the History Department’s Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History as we welcome Prof. Carlos Aguirre (University of Oregon)\, who will be presenting a paper entitled “Censorship\, Politics\, and the Making of a Literary Classic: The Biography of Vargas Llosa’s La ciudad y los perros“. \nThe talk will be held at 5pm on Friday\, October 5th in HSSB 4020\, and will be followed by a small reception. \nThis event is supported by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, the History Department Colloquium Committee\, the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program\, and the Program in Comparative Literature. \nAbstract\nMario Vargas Llosa’s first novel\, La ciudad y los perros (Barcelona\, 1963)\, marked the beginning of the author’s outstanding literary career but also\, according to many\, of the “Latin American boom\,” a literary\, political\, and publishing phenomenon that changed the landscape of Latin American and world literature. A novel about a group of adolescents in a military school in Lima that was widely read as a critique of Peruvian militaristic\, machista\, and authoritarian culture\, it became an almost instant classic but was also involved in a series of literary and political controversies. Exploring the role of literary and friendship networks\, the Spanish publishing industry\, the negotiations with Franco’s censorship office\, the scandals that surrounded its reception\, and the political climate of the time\, this talk will reconstruct the process by which the manuscript of a novel written by an almost unknown author became a powerful literary\, cultural\, and political artifact. \nAbout the speaker\nCarlos Aguirre is Professor of History at the University of Oregon and the author or editor of several books on slavery and abolition\, crime and punishment\, intellectuals\, and the history of Lima. His most recent publications include The Peculiar Revolution. Rethinking the Peruvian Experiment under Military Rule\, co-edited with Paulo Drinot (2017) and Bibliotecas y Cultura Letrada en América Latina. Siglos XIX y XX\, co-edited with Ricardo Salvatore (2018). For more information on professor Aguirre’s works\, check https://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~caguirre/home.html \nWe hope to see many of you there!

SUMMARY:Talk by Professor Ula Taylor\, UC Berkeley: "The Promise of Patriarchy: Women and the Nation of Islam"
DESCRIPTION:The partiarchal structure of the Nation of Islam (NOI) promised black women the prospect of finding a provider and a protector among the organization’s men\, who were fiercely committed dto these masculine roles. Black women’s experience in the NOI\, however\, has largely remained on the periphery of scholarship. In her presentation\, Ula Taylor documents their struggle to escape the devaluation of black womanhood while also clinging to the empowering promises of patriarchy. Taylor shows how\, despite being relegated to a lifestyle that did not encourage working outside of the home\, NOI women found freedom in being able to bypass the degrading experiences connected to labor performed largely by working-class black women and in raising and educating their children in racially affirming environments. \nCo-sponsored by the College of Letters and Sciences; the MultiCultural Center; the Department of History; Hull Chair in Feminist Studies; and Black Studies

SUMMARY:UCSB History Associates Lecture: "Pious Postmortems: Anatomy and the Making of Saints"\, Professor Brad Bouley
DESCRIPTION:During the Reformation\, the Catholic Church suffered a crisis in one of its oldest and most powerful institutions: belief in the saints. To support the veneration of these individuals\, canonization officials turned\, it would seem paradoxically\, to medical science. Canon lawyers and physicians thought that medicine could be used to prove miracles. The category of supernatural was\, however\, a tricky one and so canon lawyers\, theologians\, and doctors developed a range of techniques to establish the bounds of nature. This talk examines the means used to determine the existence of the supernatural in human bodies. Surprisingly\, the tools employed in the search for the holy mirror and presage many of the techniques later used by experimental scientists to establish the factuality of unusual observations. \nThe speaker\, Brad Bouley\, completed his PhD at Stanford in 2012 and taught at Penn Sate until he joined the UCSB History department in 2017. His specialty is Italian history from the 16th through the 18th centuries. Bouley studies the intersections of religious history\, the history of science\, and the history of food and urban provisioning. His first monograph\, Pious Postmortems: Anatomy\, Sanctity and the Catholic Church in Early Modern Europe\, was published last year. \nPlease RSVP using this flier

SUMMARY:Talk by Sigrid Schmalzer\, University of Massachusetts\, Amherst: "The Layered Landscapes of Hebei and Guangxi: Mao-era History and the COnstruction of China's Agricultural Heritage"
DESCRIPTION:Chinese scientists\, scholars\, and state officials are actively engaged in a transnational movement to preserve “agricultural heritage.” But what is agricultural heritage and how does it relate to a “people’s history” of agriculture? This talk will focus on two sites where the PRC state is actively seeking to promote and preserve agricultural heritage. Both sites are famed for their spectacular agricultural terraces: one lies in the northern province of Hebei and the other in the southern province of Guangxi. Despite ethnic\, cultural\, and environmental differences\, the two sites share some important historical experiences. In both places\, people identify terracing as a form of survivial for their migrant ancestors in a new land. More recently\, the two sites underwent a powerful\, transformative Mao-era history that matters deeply to local people but is in danger or erasure or cooption today in the ahnds of an eco-authoritarian state. The speaker will explore these two cases to demonstrate the need for a critical historical approach: she will urge scholars to recognize the significance of the Mao era in the construction of both agricultural knowledge and the agricultural heritage paradigm\, while resisting efforts to coopt that history in the service of state power. \nSigrid Schmalzer is Professor of History at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. Her first book\, The People’s Peking Man: Popular Science and Human Identity in Twentieth-Century China\, was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2008 and won the Sharlin Memorial Award from the Social Science History Association. Her second book\, Red Revolution\, Green Revolution: Scientific Farming in Socialist China (Chicago\, 2016) won the Joseph Levenson Prize form the Association for Asian Studies.

SUMMARY:"Agrarian Quests: The Search for Comunidades and Campesinos in Rural Peru\,”  a lecture by Javier Puente
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nThe history of twentieth-century Peru is the history of the rural countryside\, its governance\, and the making of comunidadesand campesinosas foundational elements of a social\, economic\, and political landscape. Throughout a number of decades\, domestic state powers and transnational capital turned lands and pastures into battlegrounds of ideas about labor\, property\, and modernization at large. In turn\, clashing visions of power placed comunidadesand campesinosat the center of their responses to enduring uncertainties and anxieties on the economic exploitation and sociopolitical control of the country. Hacendados\, engineers\, intellectuals\, corporations\, political parties\, the military\, among others\, contended and disputed the meaning of being a comunidadand a campesino. Ultimately\, a civil war brought the search to a violent end\, revealing the extent\, limitations\, and failures of the rural making of a nation-state. \nAbout  \nJAVIER PUENTE holds a Ph.D. from Georgetown University and currently serves as assistant professor of Andean history at the Instituto de Historia of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. \nThis lecture s presented as part of the LAIS 200 graduate seminar. It is free and open to the campus community. A small reception follows the talk. Students interested in discussing further Dr. Puente’s work after the reception are encouraged to contact the LAIS Program Director at mendez@lais.ucsb.edu to get the reading materials. \n*LAIS thanks the generous co-sponsorship of the Departments of History\, Global Studies\, and the Global Environmental Justice Project to this event. \n

SUMMARY:Alicia Boswell\, UCSB: "Cultural Heritage and Community: Protecting the Past for the Future in the Moche Valley\, Peru"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next meeting of the Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History as we welcome Alicia Boswell\, who will deliver a talk entitled “Cultural Heritage and Community: Protecting the Past for the Future in the Moche Valley\, Peru”. \nThe talk will be held in HSSB 4020 at 5 pm on Wednesday\, March 6th\, and will be followed by a small reception. \nAbstract: Media reports on cultural heritage issues focus primarily on the destruction of ancient monuments and the illicit looting and sale of antiquities\, especially at the hands of groups such as ISIS. In doing so\, they largely ignore the likelihood that antiquities extraction and site destruction is more related to issues of global economic development. This talk addresses the global and national socioeconomic pressures connected to heritage destruction in Peru and highlights a model implemented to combat archaeological site destruction in the Moche Valley\, Peru by Moche Inc\, a nonprofit organization that Boswell collaborates with. This model\, which engages local communities in heritage preservation and development projects demonstrates that the benefits of conserving archaeological sites can extend beyond site preservation and tourism opportunities. Community collaboration and protection of archaeological sites can contribute to economic opportunities and long-term community development. \nAbout the Speaker: Alicia Boswell is Assistant Professor in the Department of History of Art and Architecture at UCSB. \nTo access the pre-circulated paper\, please visit https://items.ssrc.org/facing-extreme-el-ninos-at-the-local-level/

SUMMARY:Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture by Audra J. Wolfe: "Science\, Freedom\, and the Cold War: a Political History of Apolitical Science"
DESCRIPTION:As a part of the Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture Series\, the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center presents Audra J. Wolfe on the development of so-called apolitical science. \nWhy do so many U.S. scientists continue to lean on the language of apolitical science\, even as political leaders display less and less interest in scientists’ claims to expertise\, or even the existence of facts? In a new book\, Freedom’s Laboratory: The Cold War Struggle for the Soul of Science\, historian Audra J. Wolfe suggests the answer lies in Cold war propaganda. \nFrom the late 1940s through the late 1960s\, the U.S. foreign policy establishment saw a particular way of thinking about scientific freedom as essential to winning the global Cold War. Throughout this period\, the engines of U.S. propaganda amplified\, circulated\, and\, in some cases\, produced a vision of science\, American style\, that highlighted scientists’ independence from outside interference and government control. Working (both overly and covertly\, wittingly and unwittingly) with governmental and private organizations\, U.S. scientists tried to come to terms with the meanings of “scientific freedom” and “U.S. ideology.” More often than not\, they ended up defining scientific values as the opposite of Communist science. \nScience\, in this view\, was apolitical. \nThe Cold War ended long ago\, but the language of science and freedom continues to shape public debates over the relationship between science and politics in the United States. \nAudra J. Wolfe\, Ph.D. is a Philadelphia-based writer\, editor\, and historian.  She is the author of Freedom’s Laboratory: The Cold War Struggle for the Soul of Science (2018) and Competing with the Soviets: Science\, Technology\, and the State in Cold War America (2013). Her articles have appeared in both scholarly and more popular venues\, including the Washington Post\, The Atlantic.com\, Slate\, and the popular podcast American History Tellers. \nWolfe holds a Ph.D. in the History and Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania (2002). Previously\, she studied biochemistry and chemistry at Purdue University (B.S.\, 1997). She has taught courses on Cold War science as well as science and the media at the University of Pennsylvania. As a publishing professional\, Wolfe has worked at the University of Pennsylvania Press\, Rutgers University Press\, and the Chemical Heritage Foundation\, where she additionally served as executive producer for an award-winning podcast\, Distillations. Her editorial and publishing consulting company\, The Outside Reader\, supports the work of scholars and scholarly publishers.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Buettner\, "Postcolonial Migration Meets European Integration: Britain in Comparative Perspective"
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Buettner\, Professor of Modern History at the University of Amsterdam\, will present her paper “Postcolonial Migration Meets European Integration: Britain in Comparative Perspective” on Tuesday\, October 22 at 4:00 in HSSB 4020. \nHow exceptional has Britain’s history of inward migration after 1945 been compared to that of other Western European countries? Like other former imperial powers\, Britain became home to many peoples from its former colonies and Commonwealth\, many of whom were not of European descent; moreover\, like many of its continental neighbors Britain too attracted migrants from other European countries. How did common responses to newcomers from outside Europe resemble or differ from attitudes towards foreign Europeans\, particularly those from within the European Economic Community/European Union? This paper will sketch out general issues and discuss changes over time\, not least by comparing earlier decades to developments occurring after EU’s eastward enlargement since 2004 that have culminated in Brexit. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Rosemarie Zagarri on "The Murky Past and Contested Future of the Electoral College"
DESCRIPTION:On October 24 at 4:00pm in HSSB 4080\, Professor Rosemarie Zagarri of George Mason University will present a talk titled “The Murky Past and Contested Future of the Electoral College.” The event is free and open to the public. \nThis talk will examine the roots of the American system for electing its president and explore the possibility–as well as the feasibility–of changing the existing system. The origins of the Electoral College lay in a series of tumultuous conflicts at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. At stake was not only what the presidency should entail but how the new chief executive should be elected. Memories of George III’s abuses of power haunted delegates. Fears of mob rule competed with anxieties over lodging too much power in the hands of a single individual. Representatives jealously guarded their own states’ prerogatives. The solution–the Electoral College–was a jerry-built compromise that satisfied no one completely. \nAlmost as soon as it went into operation\, the flaws and defects of the Electoral College became evident. The emergence of a two-party political system intensified its structural weaknesses. Yet the system has endured. The question facing Americans today is: What can be done to remedy the inadequacies of the Electoral College? \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Steve Zipperstein\, "The Impeachment Wars: What Lies Ahead"
DESCRIPTION:The Trump impeachment saga has gained startling momentum in recent days. As the proceedings accelerate\, fascinating legal and policy questions arise. Can the president pardon people who have committed crimes at his behest? Can he pardon himself? Does impeachment require proof of a federal crime? Is the Senate required to hold an actual trial? Can nonfederal legal authorities—like the New York State Attorney General or the Manhattan District Attorney—bring criminal charges against the president while he remains in office? Steve Zipperstein explores these and other issues as he contemplates legal and political prospects in the coming weeks and months.   \nSteve Zipperstein is the former Chief Assistant United States Attorney in Los Angeles\, where he served alongside current Congressman Adam Schiff. Zipperstein also served as Counselor to Attorney General Janet Reno\, and as Counselor to then-Assistant Attorney General Robert Mueller. Zipperstein reported directly to former and current Attorney General William Barr for more than a decade during their private sector careers. Following his tenure as a federal prosecutor\, Zipperstein served as the Chief Legal Officer of Verizon Wireless and of BlackBerry. Zipperstein currently teaches in the Global Studies and Public Policy departments at UCLA and is a Senior Fellow at UCLA’s Center for Middle East Development. He has also served as a Visiting Professor of Law at Tel Aviv University. His forthcoming book\, Law and the Arab-Israeli Conflict: The Trials of Palestine\, will be published by Routledge in 2020. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Einstein’s War: How World War I Made Relativity (Matt Stanley\, NYU)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture…13 November 2019 at 4PM  \nAbout the talk: Einstein’s ascent to worldwide celebrity was\, in large part\, not his own doing. The 1919 confirmation of the German Einstein’s theory of general relativity by British astronomers soon after the end of the First World War made him an emblem of how science could rise above nationalism and petty patriotism.  But in fact international science – and relativity with it – was nearly shattered by the war. It was only the dedicated efforts of pacifist scientists\, chiefly A.S. Eddington\, that pulled both Einstein and his theory from behind the trenches and onto the front pages of newspapers\naround the globe. \n \nAbout the Speaker: Matthew Stanley teaches and researches the history and philosophy of science. He holds degrees in astronomy\, religion\, physics\, and the history of science and is interested in the connections between science and the wider culture. He is the author of Einstein’s War: How Relativity Triumphed Amid the Vicious Nationalism of World War I (Dutton\, 2019)\, the story of how pacifism and friendship led to scientific revolution.  He has also written Practical Mystic: Religion\, Science\, and A. S. Eddington (Chicago 2007) and Huxley’s Church and Maxwell’s Demon (Chicago 2014)\, which explore the complex relationships between science and religion in history. \nA flyer describing the talk can be found here…

SUMMARY:Susan Lederer\, "'Send My Body to the Medical College': Alternative Afterlives in Turn of the  Century America"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Susan Lederer\, Professor of the History of Medicine\, University of Wisconsin Madison will be giving a talk on Thursday\, January 9 at 5:30 pm entitled “‘Send My Body to the Medical College’: Alternative Afterlives in Turn of the Century America.” \nIn 1876 American and English newspapers reported the extraordinary will made by an American woman living in London. Inspired by Bentham’s 1832 bequest of his body\, Susan Fletcher Smith approached the Royal College of Surgeons with the proposal that\, upon her death\, her body be “completely dissected in the most thorough manner known to science.” Moreover\, she stipulated that preference be given to persons of the female sex who wished to inspect the body in the various stages of dissection. The President of the College agreed to accept her proposal. Smith’s donation was one of some 450 reported in the press in the years between 1870 and 1940. This talk explores how donating one’s remains to a medical institution was transformed in this period from a bizarre and macabre eccentricity into an exemplar of enlightened corporeal philanthropy. \nClick here to download the flyer for this event.

SUMMARY:Anna Rudolph\, "Queen Radegund and the Monarchy in Medieval Europe"
DESCRIPTION:Come hear Anna Rudolph‘s presentation on Queen Radegund (520AD – 587AD) – a royal sainted lady of Thuringia.

SUMMARY:Sara Beam\, "Missing Babies and Tacit Tolerance of Infanticide in Early Modern Europe"
DESCRIPTION:Aggressive criminal prosecution of unwed mothers who killed their newborns in early modern Europe (1550-1750) has led historians to assume that Europe was less tolerant of illegitimacy and infanticide than other pre-modern societies\, including China and Japan. New research throws this assumption into question. In early modern Geneva\, authorities often turned a blind eye to the untimely deaths and abandonment of unwanted bastards. These findings suggest that Europeans took a more practical approach to managing fertility than we had thought. \nSara Beam\, Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Victoria (Canada)\, is the author of numerous works on judicial violence\, including torture\, in early modern Europe\, with a special expertise on the city of Geneva. She is especially interested in the definition and prosecution of early modern “women’s” crimes\, including infanticide and adultery. She is completing a book manuscript on the decline of judicial torture in Europe from 1550-1750 and an edition and translation of a seventeenth-century infanticide trial. Her first book\, Laughing Matters: Farce and the Making of Absolutism in France (2007)\, won the Roland H. Bainton Prize for History. \nThis lecture is funded by the Department of History\, the Department of French and Italian\, the Early Modern Center\, the Hull Chair in Women’s Studies\, and the I.H.C. \nDownload the flyer: Beam flyer

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL TALK: Alan Liu\, "Friending the Past: The Sense of History in the Digital Age"
DESCRIPTION:Alan Liu (English\, UCSB)\, Friending the Past: The Sense of History in the Digital Age\n \nDate/Time: Monday\, May 4 from 11am-12pm PST\n \nAbstract: “Can today’s society\, increasingly captivated by a constant flow of information\, share a sense of history? How did our media-making forebears balance the tension between the present and the absent\, the individual and the collective\, the static and the dynamic—and how do our current digital networks disrupt these same balances? Can our social media\, with its fleeting nature\, even be considered social at all? In Friending the Past\, Alan Liu proposes fresh answers to these innovative questions of connection. He explores how we can learn from the relationship between past societies whose media forms fostered a communal and self-aware sense of history. Interlaced among these inquiries\, Liu shows how extensive ‘network archaeologies’ can be constructed as novel ways of thinking about our affiliations with time and with each other.\n \nAttendance Request Form: If you’re interested in attending this virtual talk\, please click on the following URL and fill out the following attendance request form. During the days leading up to the presentation\, the event’s host\, Brian J Griffith\, will send you the schedule\, along with a Zoom meeting URL and accompanying password.\n \nURL: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdYDHH0i7fZ0MZInNacm1pl6iOPGR9qsuHHDyIE_-5EqPQRvA/viewform

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL TALK: Ryan Horne\, “Aeolian Alexanders: Coins\, Space\, and Networks in Ancient Turkey”
DESCRIPTION:Ryan Horne (World History Center\, University of Pittsburgh)\, “Aeolian Alexanders: Coins\, Space\, and Networks in Ancient Turkey”\n \nDate/Time: Monday\, May 18 from 11am-12pm PST\n \nAbstract: “An increasing number of historians and sociologists have theorized empires as a series of interlocking networks of social and political interactions. Less attention has been paid to how digital techniques can be deployed to study the structure of those networks\, their geospatial context\, or their visualization\, especially in the construction of maps. Advances in digital gazetteers\, social network analysis software\, and historical geographic information systems are fundamentally altering this paradigm\, enabling the discovery\, modeling\, and visualization of complex geospatial networks. Building upon the NEH-funded Aeolian Alexanders project\, this talk will discuss how geospatial studies and network analysis are dramatically changing the study of numismatics by examining networks of minting activity in Hellenistic Asia Minor. In addition\, this talk will illustrate how existing resources can be leveraged by non-specialists to model the flow of materials and communications between urban centers in the Hellenistic east.”\n \nAttendance Request Form: If you’re interested in attending this virtual talk\, please click on the following URL and fill out the following attendance request form.

SUMMARY:“Coronavirus and Historical Patterns of Epidemics in Latin America"
DESCRIPTION:A Zoom Talk by Dr. Marcos Cueto \nWednesday\, May 13\, at 12 pm – 1:30 pm\, via Zoom \nAbstract. Historical studies on epidemics in Latin America have magnified fragilities in public health structures\, revealed the vulnerability of the poor and discovered cases of heroism under adversity. They have also identified an historical trend –revived in the contemporary crisis caused by Covid-19– characterized by a reductionism in the explanation of the social factors that sustain epidemics\, insufficient and contradictory official responses and stigma against marginal groups. This presentation will discuss the main historical patterns of response to epidemics in Latin America\, especially in Brazil\, during the late 20th and early 21st centuries and relate them to the coronavirus pandemic. \nMarcos Cueto is Professor of History of Health at the Casa Oswaldo Cruz\, FIOCRUZ\, in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\, and a Researcher in the Instituto de Estudios Peruanos in Lima. He holds a PhD from Columbia University and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Science\, Technology and Society Program at the MIT. His major books include A History of the World Health Organization (2019); Medicine and Public Health in Latin America (2016) (co-authored with S. Palmer)\, which won the 2017 George Rosen Award of the American Association for the History of Medicine; Cold War and Deadly Fevers: Malaria Eradication in Mexico\, 1955-1970 (2007)\, among many others. He has been a visiting professor at Harvard\, the University of Shanghai\, the University College London\, L’Institut de hautes études internationales et du dévelopement in Geneva\, Stanford\, Princeton\, Columbia\, and New York University and was fellow of the Guggenheim\, Mellon\, Tinker\, Ford\, and Rockefeller foundations.  He publishes regularly in English\, Spanish and Portuguese. For more on his work see https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marcos_Cueto7 \n* Professor Cueto will be joining us from Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil. This event is organized by the Program in Latin American and Iberian Studies with generous cosponsorship from the Department of History.  \nPlease sign up here to attend: https://bit.ly/LAISTertuliaMay2020 or email lisamcallister@ucsb.edu \n

SUMMARY:Stuart Tyson Smith\, "Black Pharaohs? Egyptological Bias\, Racism\, and Egypt and Nubia as African Civilizations"
DESCRIPTION:Harvard University’s Hutchins Center for African & African American Research welcomes UCSB Professor of Anthropology (and History Department affiliate faculty member) Stuart Tyson Smith to the W.E.B. Du Bois Virtual Lecture Series. On Tuesday\, September 22 Professor Smith will present his Zoom lecture “Black Pharaohs? Egyptological Bias\, Racism\, and Egypt and Nubia as African Civilizations.” Register in advance for this free event here. Please note that the lecture begins at 4:00 Eastern/1:00 Pacific time. \nProfessor Smith’s research centers on the civilizations of ancient Egypt and Nubia with a theoretical focus on the social and ethnic dynamics of colonial encounters and the origins of the Napatan Kushite state\, whose rulers became Pharaohs of Egypt’s 25th Dynasty. He has published on the dynamics of Egyptian imperialism and royal ideology\, the use of sealings in administration\, death and burial in ancient Egypt and Nubia\, and the ethnic\, social and economic dynamics of intercultural interaction between ancient Egypt and Nubia.  He has also participated in and led archaeological expeditions to Egypt and since 1997 to Sudanese Nubia\, where he co-directs the UCSB-Purdue University Tombos expedition to the third cataract of the Nile. This research has been funded by multiple grants from the National Geographic Society and the National Science Foundation. In addition to fieldwork\, he is also engaged in a long-term study and write-up of the UCLA excavations conducted by the late Alexander Badawy at the fortress of Askut in Sudanese Nubia. In a new line of research\, Smith applies a postcolonial approach to modern scholarly and popular views of ancient Egypt as not truly African and Nubia as its subordinate\, confronting the intersection between racism and longstanding academic and political bias. In addition to numerous articles and book chapters\, Dr. Smith has published three books\, Askut in Nubia: The Economics and Ideology of Egyptian Imperialism in the Second Millennium BC\, Valley of the Kings (for children)\, and Wretched Kush: Ethnic Identities and Boundaries in Egypt’s Nubian Empire. In 1993\, he took a break from academia as Egyptological Consultant for the hit MGM movie Stargate\, commenting on the script and recreating spoken ancient Egyptian for the film. He returned to Hollywood consulting in 1998 and 2000 for the Universal remake of The Mummy and its sequel\, The Mummy Returns\, and most recently for 2018’s web production Stargate Origins: Catherine. Professor Smith holds a Ph.D. in Archaeology from the University of California\, Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:John Majewski\, Living Democracy in Capitalism's Shadow: Creative Labor\, Black Abolitionists\, and the Struggle to End Slavery
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \n\nFree to attend; registration required to receive Zoom webinar attendance link \nIn the two decades before the Civil War\, a new type of capitalism developed in the northern United States that stressed mass education\, widespread innovation\, and new markets for art and design. For Black abolitionists\, the changing northern economy presented new opportunities to highlight the evils of slavery. While continuing to attack slavery’s physical cruelty\, Black abolitionists in the 1840s and 1850s increasingly highlighted the “mental darkness” of slavery\, focusing on the systematic denial of literacy\, learning\, and creativity. Through their own creative labor\, Black abolitionists made a compelling case for racial equality. The fate of Black creative labor after the Civil War\, though\, demonstrated the limits of using creativity as a way of obtaining citizenship\, and raises important questions about how we in the 21st century “live democracy” in a society that valorizes creativity amidst growing inequality and systemic racism. Audience Q&A will follow. \nJohn Majewski is the Michael Douglas Dean of Humanities and Fine Arts and Professor in the Department of History. His areas of specialization include American economic\, social\, and legal history; Southern history; and the U.S. Civil War. He is the author of A House Dividing: Economic Development in Pennsylvania and Virginia Before the Civil War (Cambridge University Press\, 2000)\, Modernizing a Slave Economy: The Economic Imagination of the Confederate Nation (UNC Press\, 2009)\, and numerous articles\, reviews\, and book chapters. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Living Democracy series \nREGISTER NOW. ASL and Spanish interpretation will be available. To view ASL interpretation\, please attend the webinar on a desktop computer.
