SUMMARY:Ending Poverty in California: A  Movement\, A Plan\, A More Equitable Future
DESCRIPTION:What would a California without poverty look like? How would ending economic hardship advance freedom and well-being for all? This is a prospect that has captured the imaginations of activists\, reformers\, and everyday people for decades\, ever since Upton Sinclair made it the centerpiece of his near successful gubernatorial campaign in 1934. Today\, it animates the work of a new generation of community-based leaders who have come together in End Poverty in California (EPIC)\, an organization devoted to elevating the voices of people experiencing economic hardship\, creating and implementing policies rooted in their needs\, and advancing a state agenda focused on equal opportunity for all. Since 2022\, EPIC has been building grassroots support through its statewide listening tour and coalition-building activities\, captured in the acclaimed documentary film Poverty and Power. Featuring excerpts from the film and a conversation with EPIC President Devon Gray\, Chief Advisor for Storytelling and Narrative Greg Kaufmann\, and Director of Organizing and Community Engagement Jasmine Dellafosse\, this discussion\, moderated by Professor Alice O’Connor\, will focus on a movement that aims to change the narrative about poverty—and California’s economic future. \n                                       Event held on Thursday\, April 18th at 4pm in HSSB 6020 (McCune Conference Room) \nDevon Gray is President of End Poverty in California. He aligns EPIC’s organization’s priorities across issue areas to make a lasting impact for Californians. Prior to joining EPIC\, he was a director with Evergreen Strategy Group\, where he advised gun violence prevention organizations on policy and strategy. Gray previously served in the Newsom Administration as Special Advisor to the Governor’s Chief of Staff and is an alumnus of national and statewide political campaigns. \nGreg Kaufmann is EPIC Chief Advisor for Storytelling and Narrative. He leads EPIC’s storytelling and narrative strategy\, creating platforms for people in poverty to share their experiences\, ideas\, and insights so that we change the story about poverty in California. Prior to joining EPIC\, Kaufmann was poverty correspondent at The Nation where his column was syndicated by Bill Moyers and Melissa Harris-Perry called him “one of the most consistent voices on poverty in America.” \nJasmine Dellafosse is Director of Organizing and Community Engagement at EPIC. She leads EPIC’s organizing and community engagement work to help build a movement that creates equal opportunity and ends poverty in California\, affirming the dignity of all people. Dellafosse has confronted systemic racism for almost a decade—first as a youth organizer in her hometown of Stockton\, CA\, where she helped urban development projects such as bringing food desert areas access to fresh produce. \nAlice O’Connor is Professor of History and Director of the Blum Center on Poverty\, Inequality\, and Democracy at UCSB. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center’s Imagining California series\, the Blum Center on Poverty\, Inequality\, and Democracy\, and the Department of History

SUMMARY:Victor Seow\, "The Human Factor: Work as Science in Twentieth-Century China"
DESCRIPTION:In 1935\, the Commercial Press in Shanghai published a modest-sized volume on a subject most of its readers likely never heard of. Titled An Overview of Industrial Psychology (工業心理學概觀)\, this text was written by a young psychologist who was trained in and recently returned from Britain. It was the first in Chinese on the titular subject\, which promised to (amid other things) “restore the rightful place of human beings in processes of production.” What was industrial psychology\, and why did those who promoted or practiced it across multiple political and productive regimes choose to do so? In this talk\, Victor Seow will trace the history of industrial psychology in China from the 1930s to the 1990s\, focusing on how this science of work reflected shifts in the meaning and value of labor over those decades. \nVictor Seow is John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University. He is a historian of technology\, science\, and industry\, specializing in China and Japan in their global contexts and in histories of energy and work. \nEvent cosponsored by the Lawrence Badash Memorial Lecture Fund\, the IHC’s Machines\, People\, and Politics Research Focus Group\, and the Department of History’s History of Science field.

SUMMARY:Tsuyoshi Hasegawa\, "The Last Tsar: The Abdication of Nicholas II and the Fall of the Romanovs"
DESCRIPTION:UCSB Professor of History (emeritus) Tsuyoshi Hasegawa and Michigan State Professor of History (emeritus) Lewis Siegelbaum will engage in a colloquy on Professor Hasegawa’s new book\, The Last Tsar: The Abdication of Nicholas II and the Fall of the Romanovs. When Tsar Nicholas II fell from power in 1917\, Imperial Russia faced a series of overlapping crises\, from war to social unrest. Although Nicholas’s life is often described as tragic\, it was not fate that doomed the Romanovs; it was poor leadership and a blinkered faith in autocracy. \nBased on a trove of new archival discoveries\, The Last Tsar narrates how Nicholas’s resistance to reform doomed the monarchy. Encompassing the captivating personalities of the era\, it untangles the struggles between the increasingly isolated Nicholas and Alexandra and the factions of scheming nobles\, ruthless legislators\, and pragmatic generals who sought to stabilize the restive Russian empire either with the Tsar or without him. By rejecting compromise\, Nicholas undermined his supporters at crucial moments. His blunders cleared the way for allout civil war and the eventual rise of the Soviet Union. \nDefinitive and engrossing\, The Last Tsar uncovers how Nicholas II stumbled into revolution\, taking his family\, the Romanov dynasty\, and the whole Russian Empire down with him. \n \nTsuyoshi Hasegawa is professor emeritus at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He is the author of numerous books\, including The February Revolution\, Petrograd 1917: The End of the Tsarist Regime and the Birth of Dual Power (2017)\, Crime and Punishment in the Russian Revolution: Mob Justice and the Police in Petrograd (2017); Racing the Enemy: Stalin\, Truman and the Surrender of Japan (2006); The Northern Territories Dispute and Russo‑Japanese Relations (1998)\, and The February Revolution: Petrograd\, 1917 (1981). He lives in Santa Barbara\, California.

SUMMARY:Juan Cobo Betancourt\, "The Coming of the Kingdom: The Muisca\, Catholic Reform\, and Spanish Colonialism in the New Kingdom of Granada
DESCRIPTION:Book Presentation: “The Coming of the Kingdom: The Muisca\, Catholic Reform\, and Spanish Colonialism in the New Kingdom of Granada” \nJuan Cobo Betancourt UC Santa Barbara | Associate Professor of History  \nCommentator: Yanna Yannakakis Emory University | Professor of History \nThe Coming of the Kingdom explores the experiences of the Indigenous Muisca peoples of the New Kingdom of Granada (Colombia) during the first century of Spanish colonial rule. Focusing on colonialism\, religious reform\, law\, language\, and historical writing\, Juan F. Cobo Betancourt examines the introduction and development of Christianity among the Muisca\, who from the 1530s found themselves at the center of the invaders’ efforts to transform them into tribute-paying Catholic subjects of the Spanish crown. The book explores how successive generations of missionaries and administrators approached the task of drawing the Muisca peoples to Catholicism at a time when it was undergoing profound changes\, and how successive generations of the Muisca interacted with the practices and ideas that the invaders attempted to impose\, variously rejecting or adopting them\, transforming and translating them\, and ultimately making them their own.

SUMMARY:Juan Cobo Betancourt\, "Christianity\, Colonialism\, & the Muisca peoples of the Northern Andes"
DESCRIPTION:Public Lecture: Juan Cobo Betancourt\, “Christianity\, Colonialism\, & the Muisca peoples of the Northern Andes” \nAlhecama Theatre\, 215 E. Canon Perdido Street\, located in El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park \nFree and open to the public. RSVP to historyassociates@ia.ucsb.edu \nHow does colonialism work without a strong colonial state? How does religious conversion work without an effective missionary project? How can historians work with an archive full of fictions? Taking the history of the Muisca peoples of the Northern Andes of what is now Colombia\, who from the 1530s found themselves at the centre of efforts by Europeans to transform them into Catholic\, tribute-paying vassals of the Spanish crown\, this talk explores the complex and contradictory ways in which Christianity\, Spanish colonialism\, and Indigenous politics came together to produce a new kind of society to the disappointment of everyone involved. \nJuan Cobo Betancourt is Associate Professor of History and Director\nof the Latin American and Iberian Studies Program and\nCenter for Latin American and Iberian Research at UC Santa\nBarbara. He has written three books on questions of religion\,\nrace\, law\, and language in colonial Latin America.

SUMMARY:Michael Cooperson (UCLA)\, "Towards a New Arabic Literary History"
DESCRIPTION:Towards a new Arabic literary history \nMichael Cooperson\, Professor of Arabic\, NELC\, UCLA\nWhat did pre-modern authors writing in Arabic have to say about their own literary history? Many things\, as it turns out\, most of them non-linear. In this respect\, their accounts differ from the rise-and-fall story later promulgated by European scholars––a story which has now become the dominant one even in the Arab world. \n \nWhat’s next? One way forward\, I propose\, is to draw on non-linear approaches\, both pre-modern and modern––including\, for example\, the late-nineteenth century notion of Kulturgeschichte as applied to the cultural history of Arabic-speaking societies. A new literary history of Arabic––or at least\, the one I am trying to write––should grant equal weight to all periods and regions; should foreground reception\, especially translation\, as a critical part of the story; and should embrace avowedly pedagogical elements such as commentary\, digression\, and above all\, visual explanation. \nThe talk will include a sneak preview of this work in progress; comments and criticism are welcome! I am also very interested in hearing from participants about the state of literary history in their fields of expertise.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Graduate Student Erin Trumble\n \n\n \n\nTitle: “Rebirth after Retirement: How Elderly Women Reinvented Femininity in Edo Japan”\n \nDescription: The talk will focus on retirement as a life stage and examine how it represented a time when women had both more freedom after being liberated from daily tasks and more authority due to their age. I will examine prescriptive literature and its silences around responsibilities for retired women\, as well as use examples from the lives of Nakako\, Ieko\, Shigako\, and Aijo to show how women engaged with travel\, literature\, and religion in new ways as a result of this freedom and authority.
