SUMMARY:Farina Mir: "Reconsidering Modernity in an Indian Vernacular: Punjabi Literature and the Writing of Colonial History"
DESCRIPTION:FARINA MIR\nUniversity of Michigan\, Associate Professor of History \nKAPANY ENDOWMENT VISITING LECTURE SERIES \nAbout the Talk\nThis talk considers the literary history of one Indian vernacular tradition\, Punjabi\, to interrogate assumptions about the temporality of literary history embedded in today’s normative mode of writing the history of literature\, assumptions critically linked to notions of modernity. Identifying at least two types of temporality in existing literary history\, an even temporality\, on the one hand\, and one that emphasizes rupture\, on the other it argues for the adoption of a third mode: “lumpy time”\, a concept drawn from the work of sociologist William Sewell. The broader aim of the talk is to show how assessments of modernity in literary history mirror a broader tension in South Asian historiography between indigenous agency and colonialism. \nDownload event flyer

SUMMARY:“The Visual Archive: Ho-Chunk Cultural Performance\, Modern Labor\, and Survivance in Wisconsin\, 1879-1960.”
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the intersections of photographic images\, family history\, tourism\, and Ho-Chunk survivance through an examination of two photographic collections housed at the Wisconsin Historical Society: the Charles Van Schaick Collection and the H.H. Bennett Collection. The Van Schaick collection includes nearly taken between 1879-1936\, and the H.H. Bennett Collection is comprised of hundreds of images of tribal members taken from 1865-1960. Also contained within the Bennett Collection are film reels of the Stand Rock Indian Ceremonial\, a major tourist attraction that employed tribal members in Wisconsin Dells\, WI from the 1920s through the 1960s. The stories that these images convey of the importance of kinship\, place\, modern labor\, cultural performance\, settler colonialism\, and survivance are the central themes of the Ho-Chunk experience in the 20th century\, and my presentation will address these intersecting themes and the ongoing meanings that these images have for contemporary tribal citizens. \nAmy Lonetree\, a member of The Public Historian editorial board\, is author of Decolonizing Museums: Representing Native America in National and Tribal Museums (University of North Carolina Press\, 2012)\, and co-editor with Amanda Cobb of The National Museum of the American Indian: Critical Conversations (University of Nebraska Press\, 2008). \nSponsored by the UCSB Public History Program\, the Department of Anthropology\, and the Department of History. \nLonetree Poster for the event flyer.

SUMMARY:"Was the Rise of Islam a Black Swan Event?" Michael Cook\, 2016 R. Stephen Humphreys Distinguished Visiting Scholar
DESCRIPTION:A Black Swan Event is by definition a highly improbable happening with a massive impact. No one questions the impact of rise of Islam\, but just how improbable was it? Two of its central features look very unlikely against the background of earlier history: the appearance among the Arabs of a new\nmonotheistic religion\, and the formation of a powerful state in Arabia. Does that add up to two Black Swans\, or do they cancel out? \nMichael Cook is the Class of 1943 University Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. He is the author of Commanding Right and Forbidding Wrong in Islamic Thought and A Brief History of the Human Race\, among other books\, and he is also the general editor of The New Cambridge History of Islam. \nSponsored by the Center for Middle East Studies\, R. Stephen Humphreys Distinguished\nLecture Series \nDownload flyer

SUMMARY:Seeking Peace Amid Violence: Professor James F. Brooks to Speak on Awat'ovi Massacre
DESCRIPTION:Modern Americans love thinking that the Hopi people of the Southwest represent the epitome of peacefulness. But in the year 1700\, in the populous village of Awat’ovi\, Hopi slaughtered Hopi by the hundreds in a predawn raid\, showering crushed red pepper\, fire\, and arrows into subterranean kivas while kidnapping the women and children who survived. This massacre is well documented\, but UCSB history and anthropology professor James Brooks wanted to find out why\, and whether the tragic incident resonates in today’s world. \nJames Brooks will speak about Mesa of Sorrows at the Alhecama Theatre (914 Santa Barbara St.) on Wednesday\, May 11\, at 7 p.m. in an event hosted by the S.B. Trust for Historic Preservation and the UCSB History Associates. Free for members; $10 otherwise. \nRead more @ http://www.independent.com/news/2016/may/02/finding-peace-amid-hopi-violence/

SUMMARY:Talk by Neil Maher: Cold War Star Wars: The New Left and the Space Race During the Vietnam War
DESCRIPTION:In the mid-1960s\, NASA began building space technologies for the war in Vietnam. Students from the New Left vigorously protested against the space agency\, which responded in the early 1970s by scrapping several of its military projects and instead developing satellites that could collect useful ecological data on natural resources around the world.  Soon scientists\, engineers\, and politicians from Latin America\, Africa\, and Asia—including even Vietnam—were cooperating with the U.S. government to acquire satellite data about their countries’ natural resources. The Soviets did similarly with their own space technology and developing communist nations. The result was a more subtle\, but still hegemonic\, superpower rivalry \nNeil M. Maher is Associate Professor in the Federated History Department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Rutgers University at Newark\, where he teaches environmental history and political history.  He has published widely in academic and has edited a collection of essays by historians\, scientists\, and policy analysts titled New Jersey’s Environments: Past\, Present\, and Future (Rutgers University Press\, 2006). His first monograph\, Nature’s New Deal: The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Roots of the American Environmental Movement (Oxford University Press\, 2008)\, received the Charles A. Weyerhaeuser Book Award for the best monograph in conservation history. He has recently completed his second book\, tentatively titled Ground Control: How Apollo Scrubbed the Age of Aquarius (Harvard University Press\, 2017)\, which will examine how efforts to put humans on the Moon influenced the social and political movements of the “long 1960s.” \nDownload the Event Flyer

SUMMARY:"The Calorie\, Development\, and War in Mandate Palestine\, 1915-1945"
DESCRIPTION:Sherene Seikaly\nEvent Description:\nThis talk explores British economic policy in the Middle East in general and Palestine specifically during WWII. Scholarly depictions have focused on the importance of measuring and realizing economic growth. This analysis looks instead at the construction and provision of basic needs during times of scarcity. It shows how British officials sought to realize economy through new technologies such as the calorie and the emerging science of nutrition. Far from an imperative to rationalize the colonized body\, this effort was born of the exigencies of war. British colonial officials introduced new conceptions of development\, poverty\, health\, and productivity throughout the war. Their failures reveal the politics of basic needs. They also show how paradigms such as colonial development and sciences like nutrition promised the universal but instead enforced and were constituted by exclusion. \nAbout the Speaker:\nSherene Seikaly is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. She is the editor of the Arab Studies Journal\, co-founder and co-editor of Jadaliyya e-zine\, and an editor of Journal of Palestine Studies. Her book\, Men of Capital: Scarcity and Economy in Mandate Palestine (Stanford University Press\, 2016) explores how Palestinian capitalists and British colonial officials used economy to shape territory\, nationalism\, the home\, and the body. She has published in academic journals such as International Journal of Middle East Studies and Journal of Middle East Women’s Studies and several online venues. \nRSVP:\nThis event is free\, but please download the event flyer\, detach the included RSVP form\, fill it out\, and mail to UCSB History Associates\, Department of History\, UCSB\, 93106-9410 so we can insure that we have enough refreshments on hand. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n. \n

SUMMARY:Gender and Intimacy Across the U.S-Mexico Borderlands
DESCRIPTION:A Workshop at UC Santa Barbara\nKeynote Speaker\nDr. Alexandra Minna Stern\, Professor of American Culture\, Women’s Studies\, History\, and Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Michigan\, will provide they keynote talk on “Gender and Intimacy Across the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands.” Author of Eugenic Nation: Faults and Frontiers of Better Breeding in America\, 2d. ed. (UC Press\, 2015) and Telling Genes: The Story of Genetic Counseling in America (John Hopkins University Press\, 2012) as well as numerous articles on the history of public health in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands\, Professor Stern is a leading voice in unraveling the dynamics of gender\, sexuality\, race\, ethnicity\, disability\, social difference\, and reproductive politics in the United States and Latin America. \nImage at right. Photo credit: Jae C. Hong – Design: Ebers Garcia  \n\nAbout the Workshop\n\n\nIn recent years\, scholars from across a variety of disciplinary fields have initiated studies exploring gender and intimacy across the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. Some of the most exciting and innovating work has begun to examine how notions of gender as well as masculinity and femininity shape emotional and personal relations with partners\, spouses\, children\, and extended family members and how those relationships\, in turn\, impact their experiences with migration\, community formation\, and their interactions with the state\, among other topics. \nBuilding on this rich emerging literature\, we solicit proposals for papers that explore deeply and widely themes of gender and intimacy as well as sexuality and identity in/on and across the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. We define gender and intimacy broadly. While we consider gender as the social and cultural roles assigned to biological males and females that construct them as a multiplicity of feminine and masculine subjects\, we treat intimacy as an emotional and personal expression of love and desire as well as affection between two or more people that is performed or enacted across a variety of spaces\, places\, and relationships\, including marriage\, courtship\, and the family as well as in homosocial relations and contexts. We also treat the U.S.-Mexico borderlands loosely\, regarding it as a region of diverse social\, political\, economic\, and cultural interactions\, inconsistencies\, contradictions\, conflicts\, and violence\, that is bisected by an international boundary separating and joining peoples of different genders\, races\, ethnicities\, classes\, and sexual orientations. \nTopics of Interest Include \n\nCourtship\, marriage\, and migration in the borderlands\nGender\, race\, and ethnicity in the borderlands\nFamily and community formation in the borderlands\nSexuality and intimacy in the borderlands\nSexual violence in the borderlands\nState power and practices regulating gender and intimacy in the borderlands\nMasculinity and manhood in the borderlands\nQueer bodies in the borderlands\nQueer and transgender activists and activism in the borderlands\n\nGoals of the Workshop\nOur goals are to bring together scholars of all ranks (including graduate students) who are willing to share their work\, provide constructive feedback to fellow presenters\, and publish their papers. After the workshop\, we plan to invite all participants to submit revised papers for consideration in a Special Issue of the Pacific Historical Review\, pending peer and editorial review. Note: The editor of the journal will attend the workshop to see the work in progress. \nLogistics of the Workshop & Keynote Speaker\nAll selected workshop participants will receive complimentary accommodations for one night near the UCSB campus. Transportation between the accommodations and the UCSB campus will also be provided. Dinner the evening before the event as well as a continental breakfast and lunch the day of the event are also included. Transportation costs to UCSB from home institutions are not included. \n\nSchedule\n\n\nSCHEDULE\nSeptember 30\, 2016\n\n5:00-5:15 pm: Welcome & Introduction\, Sharon Farmer\, Chair & Professor\, History\n5:15-6:00 pm: Keynote Speaker\, Dr. Alexandra M.

SUMMARY:UCSB's History Associates "Much Ado about Nothing" Sponsored Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Please join UCSB’s History Associates at 12pm on October 2 in HSSB 4020 (the History Department’s Conference Room) for lunch and a talk by Irwin Appel\, Professor of Theater and Director of the BFA Actor Training Program at UCSB. We will then proceed to the nearby Studio Theater for the 2pm performance of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing (directed by Professor Appel). This timeless story of two of literature’s all-time greatest lovers\, Beatrice and Benedick\, features some of the wittiest banter in all of Shakespeare. Last year\, Appel created and directed an adaptation of Shakespeare’s history plays titled The Death of Kings that was described by The Santa Barbara Independent as \nsomething tremendous . . . Come\, Appel invites the audience\, let us sit and tell sad stories about the death of kings. Appel’s work\, clearly a labor of passion\, is a brilliant version of Shakespeare’s history of England; one that reminds us why Shakespeare is\, to this day\, still lauded as one of the greatest theatrical storytellers of the age. \nFor more on Professor Appel and this production of Much Ado About Nothing\, see https://secure.lsit.ucsb.edu/dram/d7/news/event/482 \nTo view the flyer for this History Associates-sponsored event\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Outlaws and Scofflaws: Pirates and the Making of the Mediterranean - Judith Tucker (Georgetown University)
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 10th\, 5:00 pm\nIHC McCune Conference Room (HSSB 6020) \nHow did the Mediterranean emerge as a coherent and recognizable place in the early modern period? By looking to the semi-licit world of piracy and to the development of its laws and practices in particular\, we can trace a convergence of understandings and agreements across Mediterranean space. Ironically enough\, these outlaws and scofflaws of the time played major roles in forging the critical connections that drew the shores of the Mediterranean closer in a time of turmoil on the seas. Should we give pirates significant credit for the making of the modern Mediterranean? \nJudith E. Tucker (PhD\, History and Middle Eastern Studies\, Harvard University\, 1981) is Professor of History at Georgetown University and former Editor of the International Journal of Middle East Studies (2004-2009). She is the author of many publications on the history of women and gender in the Arab world\, including Women in 19th Century Egypt (Cambridge University Press\, 1985)\, In the House of the Law: Gender and Islamic Law in Ottoman Syria and Palestine (California University Press\, 1998)\, Women\, Family\, and Gender in Islamic Law (Cambridge University Press\, 2008)\, and co-author of Women in the Middle East and North Africa: Restoring Women to History (Indiana University Press\, 1999). She has authored numerous articles for professional journals\, edited volumes\, and encyclopedias. Her research interests focus on the Arab world in the Ottoman period\, women and gender in Middle East history\, Islamic law\, women\, and gender\, and most recently the Arab World\, the Mediterranean\, and global connections in the eighteenth century.

SUMMARY:"Catastrophic Thinking: Extinction and the Value of Diversity\," a talk by David Sepkoski
DESCRIPTION:Why do we care about preserving biodiversity? At the beginning of the 21st century biodiversity has come to be seen as fragile and tenuous\, constantly endangered by the threat of loss. Extinction plays a central role in this understanding of biodiversity. Whereas most historians who have examined this phenomenon have placed the modern biodiversity movement in the context of a history of conservation biology and endangered species protection\, I want to frame it in a new perspective. This talk will examine the influence of biological theories about the nature and dynamics of extinction—and especially mass extinction—on the current valuation of biological diversity. I will focus particularly on the ways that new understandings of extinction in the past—for example\, the extinction of the dinosaurs—have converged with scientific and cultural anxieties about the present—the specters of global warming\, nuclear war\, and biodiversity loss. I will argue that this new model of extinction has played a prominent conceptual and rhetorical role in debates surrounding the current biodiversity crisis\, which I will examine in critical historical perspective. \nDavid Sepkoski is Senior Research Scholar at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin \nSepkoski_flyer2

SUMMARY:Suez at Sixty: Remembering the Suez Crisis and War of 1956
DESCRIPTION:This fall marks the 60th anniversary of the Suez War of 1956\, a pivotal moment in Egyptian\, Middle Eastern\, and international history. In response to Egypt’s nationalization of the Suez Canal Company\, Britain\, France\, and Israel launched a coordinated military assault against Egypt. The United States\, the Soviet Union\, and much of the international community strongly opposed this move\, eventually compelling the aggressors to withdraw their forces from Egypt. These events signaled a new complexity in the Cold War and hastened the decline of British and French empire in the Arab world\, permitting the United States and the Soviet Union to increase their own involvement in the region while also accelerating the broader decolonization movement. \nSmoke rises from oil tanks beside the Suez Canal; November 1956\nTo bring out these areas of significance and connection\, members of the UCSB community will host a two-day program of events: \nOn THURSDAY\, OCTOBER 20\, at 7:30 PM in HSSB 6020\, we will screen the BBC documentary film “The Other Side of Suez\,” a riveting reconstruction of the Suez Crisis and War that brings out the perspectives of numerous international actors: Egypt\, Israel\, Britain\, France\, the United States\, the Soviet Union\, and other nations. Following the documentary\, which runs for one hour\, Professor Joel Gordon of the University of Arkansas will lead a discussion of the issues raised by the film. \nOn FRIDAY\, OCTOBER 21\, from 1:30 to 5:30 PM in the UNIVERSITY CENTER HARBOR ROOM\, we will host a series of insightful academic talks by a diverse array of scholars\, from UCSB and elsewhere\, each focusing on a different aspect of the Suez Crisis and its legacy. The speakers include: \n\nJennifer Derr\, Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\nMuriam Haleh Davis\, Assistant Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\nJoel Gordon\, Professor of History and Director of the King Fahd Center at the University of Arkansas\nDwight Reynolds\, Professor of Religious Studies\, UCSB\nSherene Seikaly\, Associate Professor of History\, UCSB\nSalim Yaqub\, Professor of History\, UCSB\n\nA more detailed schedule of the Friday talks is available here \nBoth events are free and open to the public. Delicious refreshments\, also free of charge\, will be served.

SUMMARY:Lecture by Dr. Lella Gandini on Early Childhood Education
DESCRIPTION:“Early Childhood Education and Society in Post-War Italy:\n The Case of Reggio Emilia” \nIn Northern Italy in the late 1960’s\, within the context of the  emerging Italian feminist movement and of social protests advocating  for better social services\, child care\, and schools for young  children\, the city of Reggio Emilia developed an innovative system for  the education of young children. Parents\, citizens and new immigrants  alike\, were included as owners and participants.  Teachers\, moreover\, collaborated with school psychologist Loris Malaguzzi in developing a  system of documentation for their innovative work in the preschool  setting. \nDr. Gandini\, the U.S. liaison for the Reggio Emilia Program\, is the  co-author of The Hundred Languages of Children: The Reggio Emilia  Approach-Advanced Reflections; Bambini: The Italian Approach to  Infant/Toddler Care; In the Spirit of the Studio: Learning from the  Atelier of Reggio Emilia; and Loris Malaguzzi and the Teachers:  Dialogues on Collaboration and Conflict Among Children. \n \n

SUMMARY:"Diplomacy as a Means of Political Survival: The Cities and Duchies of the Northern Holy Roman Empire in relation to France\, 1650–1730\," a talk by Indravati Félicité
DESCRIPTION:“Diplomacy as a Means of Political Survival: The Cities and Duchies of the Northern Holy Roman Empire in relation to France\, 1650–1730” \nTalk by Indravati Félicité\, Maîtresse de conférences\, Université Paris-Diderot (Paris VII)\nOctober 27 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm in HSSB 4020 \nIndravati Félicité is the author of Négocier pour exister. Les villes et duchés du nord de l’Empire face à la France 1650–1730 (Berlin : Walter de Gruyter\, 2016). This talk analyzes France’s impact on the politics of the Hanseatic cities of Lübeck\, Bremen\, and Hamburg and the duchies of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp and Mecklenburg-Schwerin at the time of King Louis XIV. This was a period of change in the constitutional premises of the Holy Roman Empire. For these German “states” as well as for the diplomats and statesmen involved in these relations\, negotiation and diplomacy became a matter of life and death\, essential for safeguarding the existence of their governments. The place held by the diplomats in this process underlines the importance of their networks and reveals their contribution to the genesis of the early modern State.
