SUMMARY:Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture - Erika Milam on "Creatures of Cain"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on May 10\, 4PM\, in the McCune Conference Room for the Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture. Our guest speaker will be Erika Lorraine Milam (Princeton University) who will be giving a lecture titled Creatures of Cain: Human Nature and the Politics of Violence During the Cold War.  \nHuman nature contains the seeds of humanity’s destruction. Or so it seemed to popular consumers of evolutionary theory in the late 1960s who maintained that the essential quality distinguishing the human animal from its simian kin lay in our capacity for murder. This startlingly pessimistic view enjoyed particular currency in the United States between 1966 and 1975. Even ten years earlier\, this vision of humanity would have struck many scientists as odd. After the Second World War\, liberal American biologists and anthropologists had crafted an account of humanity’s past that emphasized a common evolutionary heritage bonded through continued inter-breeding into a universal family of man. Her talk tells the story of how definitions of human nature came to grip public science with such force and why purported insights shifted\, so dramatically and in such a short time\, from seeing humanity as characterized by our unique capacity for reasoned cooperation to emphasizing\, even lauding\, our proficiency with violence. \n \nErika Milam is an Associate Professor of History at Princeton University where she specializes in the history of evolutionary theory. Her research explores how scientists have used animals as models for understanding human behavior\, from sex to aggression. She is author of Looking for a Few Good Males: Female Choice in Evolutionary Biology (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2010) and coeditor\, with Robert Nye\, of Scientific Masculinities (Chicago: University of Chicago Press\, 2015).   \nThe Badash Lecture honors the late Prof. Lawrence Badash\, a long-time professor in the history of science at UCSB. The lecture is made possible with generous donations from Larry’s partner Nancy Hofbauer\, his former student Peter Neushel\, and numerous other donors who have contributed their support to the series. \nA flyer for this event is here. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Politics of Rights and The 1911 Revolution in China\, a talk by Xiaowei Zheng
DESCRIPTION:The Workshop Theoretical Perspectives on War\, Political Violence\, Nationalism\, and the State (His 291) is pleased to present Xiaowei Zheng\, Associate Professor of History and East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies at UCSB\, who will speak about her forthcoming book with Stanford University Press\, The Politics of Rights and the 1911 Revolution in China.  The appointment is Friday May 19th from 3:00 to 4:30 pm\, in HSSB 3001E. \nProfessor Zheng’s presentation will focus on her books’ introduction and conclusions\, which can downloaded from the following links:  Zheng Introduction_coded_ED Feb 3 2017\, Zheng Conclusion_coded_ED Feb 3 2017 \nChina’s 1911 Revolution was a momentous political transformation. Its leaders\, however\, were not rebellious troublemakers on the periphery of imperial order. On the contrary\, they were a powerful political and economic elite deeply entrenched in local society and well-respected both for their imperially sanctioned cultural credentials and for their mastery of new ideas. The revolution they spearheaded produced a new\, democratic political culture that enshrined national sovereignty\, constitutionalism\, and the rights of the people as indisputable principles. Based upon previously untapped Qing and Republican sources\, The Politics of Rights and the 1911 Revolution in China is a nuanced and colorful chronicle of the revolution as it occurred in local and regional areas. Xiaowei Zheng explores the ideas that motivated the revolution\, the popularization of those ideas\, and their animating impact on the Chinese people at large. The focus of the book is not on the success or failure of the revolution\, but rather on the transformative effect that revolution has on people and what they learn from it. \nFor questions about this event please contact Prof. Cecilia Méndez at mendez@history.ucsb.edu.

SUMMARY:A Woman’s Drink? Gender & the Global History of the Tea Shop
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Professor Erika Rappaport of the UCSB History Department explores how tea shops emerged in the 18th century and came to be defined as “women’s spaces” in 19th century and early 20th century Europe and North America — but as “male spaces” in parts of Africa and South Asia. These institutions helped build mass markets but also shaped the “gendered” meanings surrounding selling and drinking tea. \nOriginal manuscripts will be on display.

SUMMARY:Face 2 Face: Egodocuments and Microhistory - An adventure in historical thinking
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sigurdur Gylfi Magnusson\, Professor of Cultural History at the University of Iceland and a Visiting Scholar all this year in the UCSB History Department\, will give a talk May 22\, at noon in HSSB 4020. \nDr. Magnusson brings us an expert’s interpretation of two major aspects of current European historical writing: life writing and microhistory. He will discuss the significance of the concept of gender for historical analysis\, particularly on the basis of the importance of different types of egodocu-ments for the self-expression of the sexes. He will evaluate the status of the autobiography as a historical source\, with some consideration of other types of life writing or egodocuments in Iceland. He will show how the form of the genre affects the sexes’ access to self-expression and how their differing ‘cultural space’ opens up opportunities for people self-creation. Dr. Magnusson views these developments in an international light. Sources of this kind and women’s perspectives are necessary to enable scholars to interpret much material that has previously defied their analysis. \nTHERE WILL BE FOOD.

PhD student\, Political Science Department\, UCSB. \nThis paper (Gabrovsky Rethinking Britain rev) seeks to explore the rise of nationalist movements in the UK\, how they differfrom the global rise of the far-right\, and what changes in Westminster we might expect as a result. While the leftist Scottish National Party surged to become the second largest party in the UK\, there has been a rise of right-wing nationalist groups in England such as the UK Independence Party. Analysis of historical context will shed light on how these two diametrically opposed political ideologies expanded simultaneously. This is seen in the psephological maps of the 2015 General Election and the Brexit referendum. The current political climate in the UK\, where two separate nationalist movements are in power\, is unprecedented and more importantly\, unsustainable. The policies that arise during this time will determine not only what role the UK will play on a global stage\, but also\, if the UK will exist as a unitary state in the near future. There is a significant gap in the current political literature deconstructing the motivations behind these nationalist movements. This paper will address that void\, asses the potential political ramifications\, and provide possible policy prescriptions. Isabella Gabrovsky currently is a PhD student at UCSB in the Political Science department. She has previously worked in the Scottish Parliament. \n  \n“Decolonization of Taxation: Indigenous Peasants and the Civil War of 1895 in Peru” \nBy Mario Tumen. PhD student\, History Department\, UCSB \nBy looking at the civil war\, or the “Revolution of 1895” as it happened in the department of Ancash\, Peru\, this essay ( Tumen\, Decolonization of Taxation) analyzes the role indigenous peasants played in the abolition of the contribución personal\, a tax they had paid since colonial times. Through war\, they exercised their citizenship and influenced the distribution of power within the state. Yet\, the largest peasant insurrection of the nineteenth century\, the Atusparia Rebellion\, had shaken social order in the department ten years before. I argue that resilient efforts to abolish the contribución personal in 8 Ancash date back to 1885 and continued in the period leading up to Revolution of 1895. \nEverybody is welcome\, please spread the word! \n* * Coffee will be served. \nFor questions or comments\, please contact prof.

SUMMARY:Healing in Rwanda: Dealing with Legacies of the 1994 Genocide\, presentation by Emmanuel Habimana
DESCRIPTION:What would it take you to forgive the murder of your family? What would you do if you had to choose between your life and those of 400 children? How would you redefine family if you were the only survivor in yours? And how would you react when the people who tried to exterminate your people were released from prison and returned to your community? These are some of the questions Emmanuel Habimana addresses in his documentary film Komora: To Heal. \nEmmanuel Habimana is a filmmaker\, public speaker and educational activist from Kigali\, Rwanda. After surviving the 1994 Rwanda genocide\, he became a youth organizer in Kigali\, where he assisted fellow orphans of the genocide. He was trained in the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission\, and is currently studying film production in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Grad Melissa Barthelemy Wins Mentorship Award
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Division names six winners for 2017 mentoring awards\nBy Shawn Warner-Garcia\, Assistant Director of Professional Development\nFriday\, July 14\, 2017 10:07 AM View original article\n\n\nThe Graduate Division is pleased to announce the ​winners for two awards ​honoring graduate students who have distinguished themselves in the area of undergraduate research supervision. The Fiona and Michael Goodchild Graduate Mentoring Award is available to students in the College of Engineering; Mathematical\, Life\, and Physical Sciences Division of the College of Letters and Science; and the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management. The Dean’s Graduate Mentoring Award is available to students in the Humanities and Fine Arts and Social Sciences Divisions of the College of Letters and Science and the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education. \nThe winners of the 2017 Dean’s Graduate Mentoring Awards are: \n\nAubrie Adams (Communication)\, nominated by Prof. Norah Dunbar\nMelissa Barthelemy (History)\, nominated by Prof. Randy Bergstrom\nBaron Haber (English)\, nominated by Prof. Christopher Newfield\n\nThese students are recognized for their excellence in and contributions to undergraduate research supervision and for encouraging others to become involved in these research efforts. Each of the winning students receives a $1000 award. \n\nMELISSA BARTHELEMY​ // History\nResearch Interests\nMy dissertation looks at the ways that politics and memory have been mobilized in the wake of mass violence\, such as school shootings. Much of my research looks at the Isla Vista Tragedy of May 23\, 2014\, when six UCSB students were killed and another 14 individuals were injured. I am also working at a national level to help develop a better system of support for archivists and historians who end up managing condolence projects when their community suffers a public tragedy. \nMentoring Experiences\nIn the wake of the May 23\, 2014 tragedy\, I mentored a team of students through the process of collecting\, archiving\, and curating a memorial archive. This project would not have been possible without these students! Several interns have continued to stay involved in the project even after graduating\, and I’ve been able to help them in references for competitive graduate programs and job positions. It is great to see their hard work pay off. The most challenging aspect has been the intensely emotional nature of the work we’ve done together\, but that’s also what has made it so valuable and meaningful. For me\, a true mentorship relationship should involve reciprocity\, openness\, and trust. \nWhat the Award Means to ​Her\nMentoring by graduate students is a crucial responsibility that frequently goes unrecognized as it often occurs during the spaces of office hours\, responses to emails late at night\, writing letters of recommendations for past students\, giving advice on grad school and career prospects\, and helping refer students to support services. I have benefited from fantastic mentors in my life who have done many of these things for me\, and it is deeply meaningful to be acknowledged for my role in doing the same for others. I applaud the Graduate Division for recognizing the value of mentorship in fostering deeper relationships and building a healthier community\, which contributes to the success of our students.

SUMMARY:"En la frontera de los pijaos": the making of an Andean borderland (Santiago Muñoz\, Universidad de los Andes)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the first meeting of the new Colloquium on Latin American and Caribbean History as we welcome Santiago Muñoz Arbeláez\, who will deliver a talk entitled “‘En la frontera de los pijaos’: the making of an Andean borderland in northern South America”. \nThe talk will be held in HSSB 4020 at 5 pm on Wednesday\, October 4th\, and will be followed by a small reception. \nAbstract: In the 1550s a coalition of native groups took arms against the Spanish empire in northern South America. The Pijao\, as the imperial officials called the rebels\, burnt cities\, looted royal paths\, and took captives. The officials of the empire classified the Pijao as caribes\, accused them of cannibalism\, and invoked theological arguments to justify their enslavement. From then on\, interaction between the empire and the Pijaos was marked by violence\, captivity\, and slavery. By 1610\, the president of the court of Santafé estimated that the Pijaos had destroyed fourteen cities and killed and eaten more than one hundred thousand indigenous allies. While the existing studies have depicted the Pijaos as pre-Hispanic warriors who survived due to their extreme cruelty\, the Pijao frontier formed and grew in tandem with the empire. Far from being a static group that preceded the Spanish\, the Pijao frontier was a novel political creation that grew as a reaction to Spanish conquest and its dynamics were intimately linked with those of the Spanish empire. This talk explores the birth\, growth\, and decline of an indigenous political project that emerged two decades after the conquest and expanded over the slopes of the northern Andes. \nAbout the Speaker: Santiago Muñoz Arbeláez is Assistant Professor of History at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá\, Colombia.

SUMMARY:Diocletian's Palace: Design and Construction
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Goran Nikšić is the City Archaeologist and Architect for City of Split in Croatia (Service for the Old City Core)\, and the Senior Lecturer on architectural conservation at the University of Split.  He holds his degrees from the University of Zagreb (Ph.D.)\, the University of York\, and the University of Belgrade.  His areas of specialization are architectural conservation and the history of architecture\, particularly Roman\, Medieval\, and Renaissance architecture.  From 2004 on he has served as an expert for ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites).  Dr. Nikšić is an AIA Norton Lecturer for 2017-2018. \nAbstract: Although Diocletian’s Palace in Split has been a topic of scientific interest for a long time\, there has been no full consensus about some of its basic elements\, from the typological definition to the original purpose of the building\, from the original appearance of the whole down to the reliable reconstruction of the architectural parts. Traditionally\, Diocletian’s Palace has been described as a unique combination of an imperial villa and a typical Roman military camp. Recent research has established the probable original purpose of the complex in Split as the imperial manufacture of textiles. It was later\, most likely already during the construction\, adapted for the residence of the retired Emperor. Detailed architectural analysis shows that the mistakes in the design and execution\, and the unfinished decoration can be explained by the change of architectural concept which occurred probably during the first phase of construction\, and by the very short deadline given to the builders by the Emperor who probably retired to his palace in Split earlier than originally planned. Finally\, a new interpretation is given of this complex building\, in terms of design and construction process.
