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.

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.

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.

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.

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: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:20251103T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251103T131500 DTSTAMP:20260417T203520 CREATED:20251030T060727Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251030T060727Z UID:10003036-1762171200-1762175700@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Sarah Rodriguez: The Great North American Constitutional Revolution DESCRIPTION: URL:https://history.ucsb.edu/events/sarah-rodriguez-the-great-north-american-constitutional-revolution/ LOCATION:HSSB 4020\, University of California Santa Barbara\, Santa Barbara\, CA\, 93106\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=application/pdf:https://history.ucsb.edu/wp-content/uploads/Sarah-Rodriguez-Poster-4.png.pdf GEO:34.4139629;-119.848947 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=HSSB 4020 University of California Santa Barbara Santa Barbara CA 93106 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=University of California Santa Barbara:geo:-119.848947,34.4139629 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251104T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251104T150000 DTSTAMP:20260417T203520 CREATED:20251028T205223Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251028T205223Z UID:10003035-1762261200-1762268400@history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:History of Science Colloquium: Matthew Restall\, Discovering Columbus (and his Many Lives) DESCRIPTION:The next meeting of the History of Science Colloquium will take place on Tuesday November 4 at 1 pm.
